Chapter 62 - 62 62 Demons Hidden in the Sea

62: Chapter 62: Demons Hidden in the Sea 62: Chapter 62: Demons Hidden in the Sea The sky was bright and the sun hung high, seagulls glided across the sky, and the huge body of the sea dragon loomed in the deep waters, both visible and hidden. The woman slowly emerged from the dim cabin, her white clothing fluttering under the sea breeze, her three thousand delicate strands of hair simply tied by a green jade hairpin. She still held the blue-covered Lingxu Swordsmanship book in her hands and cradled the longsword in her arms, focusing intently on the content. Baili An glanced briefly and noticed that the woman had only flipped through a few pages of the Lingxu Swordsmanship section, leading him to think that the swordsmanship must be extremely profound and difficult to understand. She was so engrossed, yet she only read a few pages. Feng Lie saw Baili An’s expression and, with a slight turn of his eyes, showed a crafty smile, “Young man, are you interested in that swordsmanship book? Heh heh, I have an identical one right here, not expensive at all, just give me another piece of gold thread from your clothes.” Baili An looked down as Feng Lie shamelessly pulled out a blue-covered book from his bosom, the cover boldly printed with four large characters: Lingxu Swordsmanship! His lips twitched, speechless, “Brother Feng Lie, do you think I look like a fool?” Trying to fool him with a fake—how outrageous. Reading his gaze, Feng Lie’s expression turned stern, and he slapped the swordsmanship manual down on the table. With a displeased face, he said, “I indeed have a bad reputation and often deal with murderous trades, but I am a man of integrity; I never sell fakes. This one is exactly the same as the one the Immortal holds in her hands. I would never deceive you!” It was the first time Baili An had ever seen someone speak of murder and robbery with such a proud expression. At this moment, the woman’s voice drifted over with the sea breeze: “He’s not lying on this point, as I bought this swordmanship book from him. It only cost me three wen, and it seems to go for one wen in the market. Now, out at sea, the price has skyrocketed to one gold thread. He really knows how to do business.” The corner of Baili An’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, realizing she had spent all night pondering a swordsmanship book common in the streets, captivated by it no less. Although he thought this, Baili An still took a gold thread from his clothes and gave it to Feng Lie, purchasing the Lingxu Swordsmanship book. This act also piqued the interest of the woman who was still reading, her eyebrows slightly raised in curiosity. At dusk, the setting sun was like blood, and as it dipped below the West Mountain, the night descended. Under the terrifying speed of the two sea dragons, Baili An finally saw that crimson sea area. A lengthy, straight line divided the blue sea from the crimson Endless Sea; looking down, it was like one half was blue and the other red. Baili An leaned on the wooden rail of the desert ship, staring across the space at that strange, crimson sea surface. The sea breeze fluttered his bangs, his clear eyes appearing and disappearing amongst the tousled hair, indiscernible of any emotion. But beneath his palm, the wooden rail he clutched had long since snapped, causing Feng Lie to shrink his neck, staring at the young man with an appearance delicate but handsome, as if he were a monster. Baili An wondered if it were his illusion. He found that the sea area’s already blood-like color seemed to deepen by a shade. “Ah ah ah ah!!!!” A ghastly wail interrupted Baili An’s contemplation. Turning his gaze, he saw a burly man who was moving cargo emit a scream like a woman’s. The box in his hands dropped to the ground, smashing his foot, but he did not cry out in pain. He looked terrified, one hand on his heart, the other pointing at a corner of the ship’s hull, now densely covered with a horde of half-human, half-fish monsters. “Sea demons ah ah!!!” “My goodness! What are these monsters!!” “Oh mother! What place have we come to! Ahead… ahead there’s a huge Demon Cave!” Someone looked intently and saw in the distance the Demon Cave shrouded with ghostly Qi and encircled by Yin Crows, resembling a Ghost Realm with dark clouds rolling and demonic presence brewing—a place not meant for mortals to withstand such pressure. At this, Baili An unsheathed the Autumnwater Sword and said softly, “These are Fishwife Sea Demons! Everyone retreat into the cabin and stay still!” Chilled in his heart, he had not expected that even before fully entering the Endless Sea area, there would already be so many Fishwife Sea Demons attacking humans. “Cackle cackle…” The shrill cries of Yin Crows densely filled the sky above, many of the seagulls, which had planned to bypass the Endless Sea as usual, were caught off guard and attacked. Tearing, harsh pecking! Soon, rows of seagulls met their demise. The woman on the deck lazily tucked the swordsmanship book into her arms, her eyes emitting a chilling Sword Intent, her tone calm yet cold, “An eyesore.” The Sword Intent spread like the wind. Silent, unseen, and formless. But in the next moment, the group of crows and the Fishwife Sea Demons in the sea area touched by the Sword Intent, didn’t even have time to scream before they transformed into a mist of blood and dissipated. The sea area returned to calm… The blood of the Yin Crows descended like a mist from the sky above, but it failed to stain an inch of the woman’s white clothing. At this moment, amidst the blood mist in the sky, the woman’s expression was serene, yet she appeared beautifully peerless. Baili An looked down at the Autumnwater Sword in his hand, suddenly feeling that his act of drawing the sword was somewhat ridiculous. — Young Master Meng and others had experienced a life-and-death struggle, barely surviving their passage through the Endless Sea, yet for the woman in white, it seemed no more than a shallow beach that she could easily cross. The two sea dragons tore apart numerous sea demons in the sea area with a brutal demeanor. S~eaʀᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Looking down, the crimson sea water intermittently churned even thicker, more pungent blood water. Above in the sky, massive Yin Crows that darkened the sky and devoured people, under the emanated aura of the woman in white, seemed utterly terror-stricken, circling undecidedly in the sky above, not daring to land on the ship’s bow. Soon, the sand ship docked at a spot on Kongcang Mountain. Baili An leaped from the ship’s bow and addressed the woman in white on the deck with a departing gesture, “Thank you, miss, for your protection along the way.” The woman narrowed her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, scrutinizing Baili An, “Aren’t you taking your little deer with you?” Baili An bowed his head even lower, his tone sincere, “I hope the miss can shelter and look after this intelligent little deer; it surely won’t cause you too much trouble.” It wasn’t that Baili An didn’t want to keep the little deer by his side. He was about to enter the Mountain Realm and did not know what dangers he might face. Even the Mountain God of Kongcang Mountain regarded this as an apocalyptic trial, and Baili An was not confident he could ensure the safety of the little deer in the upcoming endeavors. And this woman in white was far too powerful. If the little deer could stay by her side, it would surely live a safe and joyful life, which was far better than staying by the side of a corpse demon like him, that shunned the light.
