Chapter 867: Chapter 867: Zhong Shan's Fierce Might

As Su Afo and Princess Nine-Tails arrived, they witnessed the spectacular scene of tens of thousands of strong cultivators being blasted away. Both were momentarily stunned.

Su Afo's eyes gleamed with excitement. "What a powerhouse! Taking on tens of thousands at once, this is thrilling!"

Indeed, the sea shark clan might not have had the strongest individuals, but the sight of tens of thousands being blasted away at once was an eye-catching spectacle that made one's blood boil.

Zhong Shan flew towards the central island, effortlessly annihilating any who dared to approach him. Every wave of his hand resulted in the obliteration of his foes.

"Attack! Kill him!" A loud command echoed from near the island's barrier.

At this command, the countless sea sharks seemed to receive their orders, launching themselves at Zhong Shan with suicidal determination.

With a fierce glare, Zhong Shan wielded his great blade at a terrifying speed. Against these small fry, even the lesser waves of his attack, the Tenfold Waves or Hundredfold Waves, were sufficient.

This allowed Zhong Shan to move even faster, filling the sky with terrifying blade light. Every sea shark that soared into the sky was cut in half, and those charging at Zhong Shan were met with a shower of blood.

The sky became Zhong Shan's personal stage.

Ferocity! This was true ferocity, the kind that intimidated countless strong cultivators with just a visual impact.

"Should we help?" Su Afo asked, somewhat dazed.

Zhong Shan's onslaught was relentless, with waves of sea shark blood staining the frozen sea beneath them.

"Of course, let's go!" Princess Nine-Tails said excitedly.

She charged forward. Being at the Great Celestial Realm, she easily overwhelmed the sea sharks, whose strongest members were only at the Celestial Realm. With a ribbon in her hand, she moved swiftly, causing any sea shark that touched it to explode.

Su Afo wielded a golden cudgel, a powerful celestial artifact, turning any sea shark it struck into dust.

While Zhong Shan headed straight for the island, Princess Nine-Tails and Su Afo joined the fray for the thrill of the fight.

In no time, Zhong Shan had slaughtered nearly twenty thousand sea sharks and reached the island. The sea shark cultivators who had been attacking the island now looked horrified. The sea shark cultivators who had previously breached the purple barrier quickly retreated, surrounding a young man in white.

Through the purple barrier, Zhong Shan saw her.

His heart trembled.

It was Zi Xun. She was surrounded by seven or eight protectors, all from the Purple Sky Dojo.

With a wave of her right hand, the Heavenly Thunder Pearl she had been using to defend herself disappeared into her palm.

The Heavenly Thunder Pearl—how could Zhong Shan forget? The first time he met Zi Xun, she had used it to blast the Red Luan Old Demon, with Zhong Shan holding her in his arms.

It was still the same Heavenly Thunder Pearl.

As the enemies retreated, Zi Xun turned and saw Zhong Shan's gaze. Her expression changed, showing a flash of eagerness and joy, quickly replaced by sorrow. Though brief, that moment of sadness deeply pierced Zhong Shan's heart.

"Kill him! Elder Sixteen, kill that man for me! I want him dead!" The young man in white, surrounded by many sea sharks, pointed at Zhong Shan with a vicious expression.

The strong cultivators on the surrounding islands were stunned by the sudden turn of events.

At that moment, a profound silence enveloped the surroundings.

Everyone seemed to be dumbstruck.

Annihilated with a single grasp? The Sacred King of Great Yi?

That was a Great Celestial! Even the weakest Great Celestial was still a Great Celestial! Yet the Sacred King of Great Yi, at the Celestial Realm, had shattered a Great Celestial's world and annihilated him in one grasp?

The onlookers shivered, feeling a deep sense of fear.

The sea shark cultivators were equally stunned, refusing to believe that the overwhelmingly powerful Sixteenth Elder had been killed so easily.

Even Su Afo and Princess Nine-Tails stood frozen in shock. Was this real?

Just then, Hongxiao arrived with a large army, just in time to witness Zhong Shan annihilating a powerful figure with one hand. Hongxiao recognized the fallen Great Celestial—Sixteenth Elder of the sea shark clan, a prodigious talent. Zhong Shan had dispatched him so effortlessly?

Hongxiao's eyelid twitched. Even he would have had to expend significant effort to kill the Sixteenth Elder. But Zhong Shan—he was astonishing!

"Run!"

An unknown sea shark cultivator's panicked scream pierced the air, and the sea shark clan fled in all directions, especially the young prince, drenched in sweat, who was hurriedly escaping under the protection of his subordinates.

"Hongxiao General, kill them!" Zhong Shan commanded sharply, charging towards the sea shark prince.

At that moment, Zhong Shan's commanding aura surged forth again, almost overwhelming Hongxiao's will, nearly making him respond with a resounding "yes."

Snapping back to clarity, Hongxiao felt a wave of astonishment. His face was extremely conflicted.

"Brother Hongxiao, let's kill them. It's too late to turn back now!" Su Afo shouted.

"Hongxiao, have your soldiers kill them all! Leave no one alive! I'll make sure to report to the Sacred King that you did this to save me!" Princess Nine-Tails shouted.

People looked speechlessly at Princess Nine-Tails, but she certainly had the confidence and the authority to make such a statement.

"Target the sea shark clan, kill them all!" Hongxiao ordered.

"Yes!" The twenty thousand elite soldiers responded in unison.

Hongxiao's forces were highly trained, easily slaughtering the remaining fleeing sea sharks.

Meanwhile, Zhong Shan had already captured the sea shark prince, dragging him back to the island.

The purple barrier around the island had been deactivated.

"My father and the other elders are all at Aolai Sea. Let me go now, or you're dead!" the sea shark prince shouted.

"Smack!" Zhong Shan kicked him, sending him sprawling in front of Zi Xun. The kick carried a hidden force, sealing off all the prince's power.

Zi Xun's eyes flickered with complex emotions.

"Thank you, senior!" said the seven or eight surviving members of the Purple Sky Dojo, expressing their gratitude to Zhong Shan.
