Chapter 1615: Chapter 548_3
They set up ambushes on three islands along the way, with the sole purpose of severely injuring the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, without intending to strike directly.
And now, they are not confident enough to subdue this Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
“This magical treasure is quite extraordinary, also forged specifically for dealing with this Deep Sea Demon Whale King. It seems the couple had long planned to act against this creature and made numerous preparations.”
Lu Changsheng immediately signaled the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to retreat, took out several elixir medicines from the Qiankun Shadow-Confining Belt and consumed them.
Then he also took out several spiritual medicines for the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to consume, and activated a Third Rank Ganlin Spirit Talisman on himself and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.
“They might hail from the Eastern Sea Cultivation Realm. According to ancient records, the human race in the Eastern Sea is weak, thus most of their magical arrays and devices are targeted against Sea Beast Demon Kings.”
Hong Lian also noticed that the magic treasure methods just now were quite unusual, specifically aimed at such Sea Beast Demon Kings, and voiced her guesses.
“Very likely.”
Lu Changsheng exhaled deeply a few times, using this gap to adjust his state.
Though injured, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was even more furious, and vowed not to rest until Lu Changsheng and the other three were killed.
The demonic runes on its body grew more intense, and the field of its qi mechanism became increasingly terrifying, causing even Lu Changsheng to be somewhat apprehensive.
However, with prior experience, his cooperation with Meng Wuheng, as a couple, became more seamless, jointly restraining the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
“Boom boom boom——”
After a long while, the four people and one peng arrived at the second ambush island.
The scene repeated itself.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King fell into the trap again, its massive body accumulating even more scars.
Lu Changsheng was unclear about the exact effects of the killing formation.
But he keenly noticed that the wounds on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King seemed to be showing signs of corrosion.
Whether it was due to extreme anger, the two waves of offensives, or Meng Wuheng’s previous arrows, the various juices along the way, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King appeared somewhat sluggish.
Yet its offensives became even more fierce.
Amidst low growls and roars, endless dark light burst forth, creating a tidal wave that stood high when the tornado and tsunami struck.
“Roar!”
A massive whale demon shadow, as large as mountains and peaks, lunged toward Lu Changsheng and Meng Wuheng, engulfing the entire heavenly dome.
Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng hurled a bunch of prepared talismans, the Yin Yang Daoist Chart above his head erupting with black and white mysterious light.
The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng and Hong Lian also joined the fray in unison.
“Damn it, if this hunt fails, even with the agreed compensation, we’ll still suffer a loss!”
Lu Changsheng had already consumed more than half of his stock of talismans and elixir medicines for this trip.
Especially the talismans, not many were left.
This hunt had become a blatant expenditure.
Not far off, even the Meng Wuheng couple was having a hard time, and despite their preparations, they were a bit battered.
…
The third island’s killing formation continued to emerge.
This formation unleashed countless fragments akin to shattered stones, embedding into the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s body.
It was evident that these three formations were not only progressively injuring the Deep Sea Demon Whale King but were also restricting and affecting its strength.
However, when the four people and one peng reached the final Whale Hunting Island, the almost deranged Deep Sea Demon Whale King suddenly halted.
Its roars, filled with killing intent and anger, seemed tinged with apprehension, fear, and unwillingness.
“What is happening?”
Lu Changsheng furrowed his brows, not expecting a mishap at this crucial moment.
“This Fourth Rank Demon King, even under the influence of Rainbow Gown Grass and Soul-Falling Incense, with a confused mind, still retains its beastly sharpness and instinctive sense of danger!”
“It must have sensed a dangerous qi mechanism from the island ahead.”
Seeing this scene, Hong Lian murmured softly.
The killing formations on the previous three islands, though injurious to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, were merely injurious.
Far from being life-threatening.
Yet, now, with this formation, it estimated something perilous.
“What should we do?”
Lu Changsheng frowned, unwilling to give up halfway.
“We can only continue to provoke it, letting slaughter and rage obscure its instincts.”
Hong Lian said as much.
“Daoist Wuheng?”
Lu Changsheng looked towards Meng Wuheng, transmitting his inquiry.
“Friend Wang, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King likely sensed something instinctively. We must further disrupt its instinctual awareness to lure it over.”
Meng Wuheng, with a grave expression, shared the same judgment as Hong Lian.
He asked Lu Changsheng, “Do you have any means to lure it over?”
“…”
Lu Changsheng was speechless, not expecting the question to be directed at him.
Seeing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King seemingly intent on retreating, Lu Changsheng gritted his teeth, “Golden Peng, Hong Lian, be careful!”
Then, the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone wove together with a loud boom, with the magic aura surging layer upon layer, rising to the Core Formation Sixth Layer. Clutching a Summoning Talisman, he rushed directly toward the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
“Husband!”
Even though Hong Lian was fully confident in Lu Changsheng’s strength and methods.
She couldn’t help but be shocked by his actions.
After all, Lu Changsheng had only recently broken through to the Core Formation Middle Stage. Being able to unleash battle strength at the Core Formation Late Stage was already quite remarkable.
“Hmm!?”
Meng Wuheng was also a little surprised, not expecting Lu Changsheng to take such a reckless risk.
But during their previous exchanges, Lu Changsheng had mentioned he could unleash Core Formation Peak battle strength, so Meng Wuheng decided to trust him, immediately getting ready with his wife.
“Roar!!!”
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, seeing its provocative prey offering itself up, its enormous pupils filled with the chilling glow of murderous intent.
The twisted field compressing the layers of space, along with the endless dark light, enveloped Lu Changsheng. Then, a colossal hurricane tsunami surged from the heavens to the sea, aiming to drown him.
“Damn it!”
Even though Lu Changsheng was now in a state not inferior to the True Elixir Late Stage, facing this oppressive and terrifying onslaught, his entire body felt heavy, his mana slowed, and he struggled to breathe.
