Chapter 389 Tianfeng's Scheme
"Human cultivator, release Jiao Li, and I will grant you permission to leave!"
Lan Shenwei's eyes revealed a fierce look, and he warned in a deep voice.
He intended to use a water escape technique to take Jiao Li with him, but Lin Changsheng was prepared and he missed his target.
Sensing the aura of a human Nascent Soul cultivator so close at hand, and seeing the confident and fearless Golden Core cultivator opposite him, he felt a growing sense of unease.
The fourth-order Body Refinement Realm and the fourth-order Demon King already put immense pressure on them.
If a human Nascent Soul is added, the three fourth-tier combatants working together would be enough to bring about a deadly crisis. Even if the demonic infant leaves its body, it is not certain that it can escape safely.
"Hmph, since you made the first move today, I will naturally retaliate."
“Even if you are a fourth-order sea monster king, I have no fear, let alone in the inland heartland.”
Faced with the threat, Lin Changsheng ignored it and instead spoke calmly and unhurriedly.
"Do you really think that once we leave the sea, I can't do anything to you?"
Lan Shenwei's eyes blazed with fury, his demonic power surging wildly within him. With a wave of his hand, a large amount of lake water beneath him condensed into a dark blue spear thirty or forty feet long, its sharp aura locking onto Lin Changsheng.
'Whoosh! '
In an instant, the azure spear transformed into a streak of light and arrived in a flash, piercing through the spot where Lin Changsheng had been standing and disappearing into the yellow sand below.
At the same time, a pair of seven-colored butterfly wings unfolded behind Lin Changsheng, and he appeared a hundred feet away in an instant, carrying the alien girl Jiao Li.
Lan Shenwei's demonic power surged forth, transforming into three azure spears. Driven by Lan Shenwei, these spears shot out one after another, relentlessly hurling their power at Lin Changsheng.
Clearly, under the intimidating aura of another human Nascent Soul cultivator, the Lan Shen Guard no longer held back and was determined to snatch Jiao Li back from Lin Changsheng at any cost.
The sheer power of the demonic energy alone was enough to create a massive aura that spread for miles around.
Within moments, a continuous rumbling sound echoed across the desert.
In the endless desert, more than a dozen huge collapses have occurred, with yellow sand sinking and lake water being used for irrigation.
Soon, more than a dozen large and small collapses were filled with water, which gathered together in the desert to form a lake with a diameter of thousands of feet.
Lan Shenwei expended a great deal of demonic power to forcibly alter the landscape, significantly amplifying the power of water-attribute supernatural abilities.
Such a sudden and reckless attack allowed the Lan Shen Guard to fight two opponents at once and even gain a brief period of dominance.
Even Lin Changsheng, who had a record of killing a Nascent Soul True Monarch, could only passively take the beating and barely protect himself when facing this enraged fourth-order sea race.
"If we press on with our momentum, we will lack the ability to sustain it. If we hold out for a while, we will eventually fall into a disadvantageous position once the opponent's demonic power is depleted."
Lin Changsheng transmitted his voice to the Nightmare Moth beside him.
At the same time, he patted his storage bag and summoned the Azure Bowl, Chen Xingzhou's natal magic weapon from back then, to resist the storm-like attack of the Lan Shen Guards.
This battle made Lin Changsheng realize his own shortcomings.
Even if one has mastered a few Nascent Soul level techniques, if one's cultivation level is insufficient, one can only contend with some weaker Nascent Soul cultivators.
Even when facing a powerful figure like Lan Shenwei, who excels in offensive and magical abilities, they still lack core competitive skills.
However, with the help of the fourth-tier Nightmare Moth, it won't be easy for the Lan Shen Guard to easily subdue Lin Changsheng.
Looking at Lin Changsheng opposite him, who was like an unkillable cockroach, despite being forced to retreat under his powerful offensive, Lan Shenwei was furious.
"If you release Jiao Li now, my promise to let you go will still stand. Otherwise, I will kill you before that human Nascent Soul cultivator arrives!"
Lan Shenwei's voice was filled with murderous intent, and his face was gloomy and threatening.
"Kill me?"
"You'd better look after yourself first."
"Neither of us can defeat the other, but I believe I have a unique advantage in terms of endurance, and perhaps I can hold out for a while longer."
Lin Changsheng chuckled softly.
Although Lan Shenwei's momentum was astonishing, he could still sense that their offensive was showing signs of weakening.
The more the other party showed their concern for the sea girl, the more he wanted to capture her.
According to previous inquiries, the 'Blood Shadow True Monarch' of the Blood Extreme Demon Palace in Gunzhou had fought against a powerful member of the Sea Clan several years ago.
Since then, Blood Shadow True Monarch, as a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, issued a 'kill order' against high-level sea races.
Players can collect the corpses of sea creatures of Tier 3 and above, and exchange them for corresponding resources and treasures in the Blood Demon Palace, depending on their completeness.
In addition, capturing high-ranking sea creatures can also reveal inside information about the battlefield of Jiuze Continent.
Lin Changsheng's original intention was to take advantage of the fact that the fourth-tier sea creature Lan Shen Guard was in the desert and unable to exert its full strength, so that he could join forces with the Nightmare Moth to launch a surprise attack with his fourth-tier body refinement realm.
Unexpectedly, the strength of the Lan Shenwei exceeded expectations. If it weren't for the intervention of a third party, neither side would have been able to extricate themselves from the situation.
The two were facing off.
In the distance, a pale blue streak of light gradually appeared on the horizon, carrying the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and grew larger and larger in their eyes.
Within the escaping light, a fat, white male cultivator with a large head and ears, wearing a loose yellow robe and revealing a large belly, could be vaguely seen.
The 'True Lord of Heavenly Wind' of Fengyin Pavilion?
Lin Changsheng silently observed and guessed the identity of the newcomer.
Although this person had a comical appearance and a cheerful, simple demeanor, he was completely different from the Nascent Soul True Monarchs we usually saw, who were either dignified and solemn or elegant and refined.
However, his terrifying Nascent Soul level spiritual pressure was undeniable.
Looking at the other party again, his wide robes fluttered without wind, and there were faint wind attribute fluctuations around him, clearly indicating that he was a Nascent Soul True Monarch who was proficient in wind attribute techniques.
Therefore, it is not difficult to guess the other party's true identity.
Similarly, when Tianfeng Zhenjun arrived, he immediately looked at the people in front of him, and the sea creature-like Lan Shen Wei naturally attracted his attention.
"Hehehe, I never expected that my harsh climate in Beicang would attract friends from the sea tribe."
Tianfeng Zhenjun looked cheerful as he patted his round belly.
As they spoke, their gazes fell on Nightmare Moth and Lin Changsheng.
"It seems that I have really neglected to travel around in recent years and did not know that a fourth-order demon king and a fourth-order body refiner friend have emerged in Beicang."
"What are your names?"
Based on their respective positions, True Lord Tianfeng immediately understood the situation and couldn't help but feel surprised.
As a Nascent Soul cultivator who has lived for hundreds of years, True Monarch Tianfeng has a keen eye and can sometimes make a rough assessment of the strength of both sides with just a glance.
Especially high-ranking demons, and even demon kings.
Due to the limitations of their own nature and race, there are also significant differences in strength among demon kings.
The sea tribes that have occupied Jiuzezhou and are brewing trouble in Gunzhou are not weak, but they cannot cause too much trouble in Beicang territory.
On the contrary, it was the fourth-order great demon and the fourth-order body-refining Golden Core cultivator in front of him that aroused his interest.
Neither of these two things, taken individually, is necessarily a cause for concern.
However, their alliance is enough to influence the current tripartite balance of power in Beicang.
……
“We are not from this place, and our names are not worth mentioning.”
"It's just that I was passing through this place and got entangled by sea monsters. Since a local True Lord has stepped in to resolve it, that's naturally the best outcome."
Lin Changsheng clasped his hands and chuckled. At the same time, he put away the green bowl magic weapon and the nine-toothed rake, and used a wood attribute spell to bring the sea creature Jiao Li to his side. He then gave a look to the Nightmare Moth beside him.
Immediately, a pair of seven-colored wings fluttered behind her, making her light and agile. Then, she transformed into a streak of seven-colored light and disappeared from her spot with a 'whoosh'.
Having followed Lin Changsheng for many years, the Nightmare Moth naturally gained some understanding, and it also transformed into a brown streak of light, following closely behind.
"you dare!"
The Lan Shen Guard was both shocked and furious. Its massive body was immediately covered by azure aura and gradually liquefied, clearly a prelude to the use of a water escape technique.
“Ah, my sea creature friend, now that you have come to the territory of Beicang, why are you in such a hurry to leave? If word gets out, outsiders will think that I, the True Lord, do not know how to treat guests and have neglected a friend who has come from afar.”
Despite his plump body, Tianfeng Zhenjun appeared with remarkable agility above Lan Shenwei, raising his hand to unleash several hundred-zhang-high wind walls to block the enemy.
He watched with a smile as the demonic energy of the Lan Shen Guard was depleted, his heart filled with joy.
He would probably be no match for a fourth-tier sea creature skilled in combat in the waters of Jiuze Continent.
However, they are now in the Beicang realm, and their strength has been severely weakened after the opponent has suffered some losses.
If he could seize the opportunity and capture this high-ranking sea creature, it would likely be his greatest achievement in nearly a century.
It is even possible to use this as a stepping stone to improve strength, completely perfect the early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation, and reach the peak of the early stage.
In this way, there will be an even greater opportunity in the future to change the current situation in Beicang on his own and make Fengyin Pavilion the only dominant force.
