Chapter 415: Cold Wave Beast

“Hu Bugui, you contemptuous man. Face me if you dare, I want to fight squarely with you!” Having been used once by Hu Bugui, Yu Nantian looked extremely furious as he shouted.
“A square fight, hehe, how interesting. Your tone is exactly the same as your great grandfather’s. Let’s see if you can conquer this Cold Wave Beast first!” Hu Bugui’s voice faded. The Cold Wave Beast’s gigantic body once again smashed onto the body of the Void Traveler.
“Phew!” The Void Traveller did not sway this time. The talisman on the spaceboat began to glimmer and transform into countless rays of golden streamers that flowed over the body of the spaceboat. The Cold Wave Beast knocked itself onto the spaceboat, only to be forcefully thrown to the side. It let out a low whimper. It was evident that the Cold Wave Beast had been injured seriously and had no more energy to attack the Void Traveller.
Standing on the bow of the spaceboat, Yu Nantian powered up his golden Gang Qi. At that moment, the Spirit and the entire Void Traveller connected together. The Void Traveller began to ascend, trying to reach the surface of the sea.
“Hohoho, you think it is so easy to escape?!” Hu Bugui’s sneaky tones reverberated once again. The sea began to roar. Dark shadows from the depths of the sea reached out their hands and tied the ascending Void Traveller firmly until it was locked in position. It was only then that Zhou Bao realized the dark shadows were actually the tentacles of a gigantic octopus. There were eight tentacles altogether and each one was two to three feet long. Every tentacle was covered with heart-numbing suckers and barbs. These eight tentacles held the Void Traveller tightly in place with no concern at all for the damage the protective golden light was causing to the Void Traveller. It began to pull the Void Traveller to the bottom of the sea.
“Dammit, get out of this!” The bow of the boat listened to the Void Traveller’s Yu Nantian’s agitated cry. Following his orders, the Void Traveller began to shake vigorously, attempting to escape the eight tentacles’ entrapment.
But obviously, all of these efforts were futile. After trying to escape multiple times, the Void Traveller did not manage to break free. In fact, its behavior seemed to have provoked the gigantic octopus that had risen from the dark. The octopus’s eight tentacles started to shake. Zhou Bao who stood on the boat only felt a wave of earth-shaking and mountain-moving tremours. Those that were slightly lighter, such as the Moon Deer of Extended Net, were thrown out of the cabin and fell onto the deck. If it was not for the prompt use of Gang Qi, everyone would have been seriously injured by now.
“Yu Young Master, we cannot go on like this. If we let this bastard live, it will not be easy for us to escape next time!” The expression on Great Dark Lord Du was not pleasant. If they were at sea, he would not have hesitated to leave the Void Traveller and keep his distance away from Chen Dao. However now that they were in the depths of the sea, there was no guarantee that he could make it out alive even with his powers. He could only rely on the Void Traveller which was a Pure Yang Celestial Device. Once the Void Traveller was destroyed, he would be in big trouble. The depths of the sea was really as deadly as the legends said. Even small octopus would disregard a Pure Yang Celestial Device’s defense and dare to grab it tightly. Disregarding the enormous water pressure he will have to withstand if he left the Void Traveller at this moment, who knows what kind of monsters he might meet along the way?
It was possible that he would have been swallowed by a random monster before he reached the surface of the sea.
“I know we cannot continue on like this any longer, but while we were escaping Hu Bugui just now, the Void Traveller had exhausted too much energy. It is too difficult to recover Yuan Qi in such a short amount of time!” Yu Nantian also knew the severity of the situation but he was helpless. In his heart, he regretted using such a huge amount of energy to run the Void Traveller at a high speed. If he did not deplete so much energy just now, it would be possible for him to escape the tentacles of the giant octopus if he put in the effort.
“Don’t panic. Panicking now won’t do any good. This octopus is just a little big and perhaps possesses some other powers, but in the end, it’s not worth being fearful of. We have so many people, should we still be scared of an octopus with no Qi?!” A disciple of the Dragon Thunder Palace who had been silently standing by the side smiled and asked softly,”Let’s accumulate some Qi to defeat Hu Bugui’s next move. Yu Young Master, you seem to know the history of Hu Bugui, shouldn’t you share it with us?!”
Yu Nantian looked up and said, “This Hu Bugui is one of Yu family’s big enemies, but that was a story from thousands of years ago. I thought he was already dead long ago, but who would have thought that he was hiding in the Sea Area. Hehe, this Sea Area is indeed a filthy place!”
Hearing Yu Nantian sigh, Zhou Bao would have loved to kill Hu Bugui with one stomp of his feet.
The others felt the same. Once they heard that Hu Bugui was the Yu family’s arch enemy for centuries and have not seen each other for more than 1000 years, the expression on their faces turned sour.
There is a limit to one’s lifespan. A man could only live more than 1000 years only if had cultivated to the Mysterious Realm. Hu Bugui had been Yu family’s enemy from 1000 years ago, which means to say, he at least had the power of the Metaphysic Individual Immortal.
What was the Yu family like?
It was the strongest family in the Divine Wind Palace. For tens of thousands of years, 90% of lords in the Divine Wind Palace came from the Yu family. For a family to hold grudges against the legendary Jade Emperor’s descendant and to have lived on, that spoke volumes about Hu Bugui’s powers.
They were here to kill others, not to be killed by others. However, they were only out for half a day and not only was their target nowhere to be seen, they had also become someone else’s prey. The whole matter was terribly ironic.
Zhou Bao’s thoughts had now settled. Watching the tentacles encircle the Void Traveller, he seemed to have understood the other party’s thoughts.
Hu Bugui seemed to be using a lowly evil beast from the depths of the sea to drain the opponent’s strength.
In the sea, demons and beasts were innumerable. The lowly beasts and demons were especially countless. These evil beasts and demons may have low intelligence and not know a thing about magic and even Demonic Qi, but their muscles were way too strong. They were born with this gift. Living in the boundless depth of the ocean and having lived through countless cycles of evolution, these lowly beasts and demons’ bodies were much stronger than Level Nine experts who trained hard on the land. If not, these beasts would not be able to withstand such high water pressure. The deeper the sea, the more of these beasts.
Just like the Cold Wave Beast just now and the giant octopus encircling the Void Traveller now.
They did not have any special powers. Their only strength was their body, but just with this strength, they could pose a threat to the Void Traveller and even disregard a Pure Yang Celestial Device’s attack.
The Void Traveller was a Pure Yang Celestial Device but it withstood many attacks before. The Cold Wave Beast seemed to have finished, but the eight-tentacled octopus that suddenly appeared grabbed the Void Traveller. Even if the octopus was their opponent and was killed in their hands, more evil beasts and demons would appear. In the sea, there was never a lack of such animals. Oh no, another five to six Cold Wave Beasts were swimming towards them, encircling the surroundings of the Void Traveller. They did not charge towards them; they seemed to be waiting for an opportunity. The Cold Wave Beasts did not have this kind of intelligence. The only explanation for such a behavior was that they were secretly controlled by someone.
“Yu Young Master, we cannot continue on like this. We must leave now, we cannot deal with this!” Great Dark Lord Du told Yu Nantian. The nine golden-robed men behind Yu Nantian also displayed similar expressions of anxiety on their faces.
“I know. I will deal with this big fella immediately. As for the other Cold Wave Beasts’ impending attack, I will have to trouble you guys!”
To be honest, these Cold Wave Beasts were not easy to fight with.
“Leave the Cold Wave Beasts to me,” said Zhou Bao, who was standing on the left side of the ship. “The most important thing is to get rid of those damn tentacles!”
“Ok!” Having heard Zhou Bao’s orders, Yu Nantian felt surprised. In fact, not only Yu Nantian was surprised; the others were also taken aback. Nobody thought that Zhou Bao would take initiative in this circumstance.
Feeling everyone’s strange gaze, Zhou Bao sealed his mouth, remained silent and offered no explanation.
Yu Nantian stood at the bow of the boat and let out a low grunt. The golden light surrounding the Void Traveller fired up and flashed vigorously, forming a ginormous ray of golden light.
On the brim of these rays of golden light, the talisman began to turn and showed an aura of sharpness. It swiftly cut each of the eight tentacles into two. Deep green fluid began flowing from the cut tentacles and drifted freely in the sea water. It looked very frightening. The eight tentacles were all cut into pieces, the master of the octopus seemed to have been seriously injured as well. Fragments of the tentacles’ upper arm were vibrating and a sharp scream was heard from the depths of the ocean. The scream was filled with agony and pain.
“Come on!” Great Dark Lord Du’s expression changed suddenly because he saw the cut tentacle fragments regenerating new tentacles. Yu Nan also did not know what to do. He aggressively forced the Void Traveller to move to the sea surface. Simultaneously, a few Cold Wave Beasts huddled in as if they wanted to ambush the Void Traveller.
Everyone turned to look at Zhou Bao. The edge of Zhou Bao’s mouth showed a slice of his cold smile. The cyan fog that surrounded the Void Traveller dispersed and the golden light from the Void Traveller shone through the sea water. It began to dissolve into the sea water, disappearing without a trace nor a shadow.
Everyone did not understand what realm Zhou Bao used. Watching the Cold Wave Beasts charging towards the Void Traveller, Zhou Bao had no other moves.
“Boom!” A loud noise was heard. The first Cold Wave Beast had hit the Void Traveller.
“Zhou Bao!” This time Yu Nantian was angry. Zhou Bao said he would deal with the Cold Wave Beasts, but he did not do anything at all. What was this supposed to mean, was he joking with him?
“Be quiet!” Zhou Bao glanced at him and held a straight face.
Bang, bang, bang!
Another few bangs. A few other Cold Wave Beasts knocked into the Void Traveller. At this point in time, everyone realized something strange. The Cold Wave Beasts that appeared this time all exceeded 300 feet in length. According to logic, the impact of their attack would have been much stronger than before.
