Chapter 1053 - Gathering From All Around (2/2)

Mo Wen secretly cursed. He still had more than twenty sea beasts chasing after him. In the blink of an eye, another five had actually appeared. Although other parts of the territorial waters also had such sea beasts, it was impossible for them to appear so frequently. It was even more impossible for each of them to be so powerful.

In the mere fifteen minutes before this moment, he had encountered more sea beasts compared to what he had encountered in the past ten days combined.

Mo Wen pointed his finger. The next moment, a beam of golden flames shot out. The terrifying golden flames contained extremely sharp Sword Qi. The Sword Qi seemed to be able to cut a slit in the very fabric of space.

The beam of golden sword light slashed down on one of the sea beasts that was pouncing towards him. However, when it came in contact with them, the terrifying sword light immediately dissipated into nothing. The skin of the sea beast was only slit slightly; not even a speck of blood flowed out.

Such a powerful defense!

Mo Wen was secretly shocked. With his current level of cultivation, even a later stage Tide Changing Realm cultivator would not necessarily be able to withstand a beam of Sword Qi that he simply waved out. Although Mo Wen had just broken through to the Tide Changing Realm, the total amount of Yin Yang Qi in his body far surpassed that of an ordinary later stage Tide Changing Realm cultivator. He was infinitesimally approaching the abilities of cultivators with great attainment at the Tide Changing Realm.

Run!

Mo Wen turned and fled without even thinking. Only a fool would find fault with these wild animals. Moreover, there were dozens of other sea beasts chasing behind him. Once he was surrounded, even if he did not die, he would certainly at least be severely injured. Mo Wen activated the illusionary spirit release technique to its limits. Mo Wen’s silhouette became a fine blue line that nimbly burrowed through the empty spaces between the five sea beasts. In an instant, he had flown far off into the distance.

After seven to eight minutes of frenziedly escaping, Mo Wen barely managed to shake off those sea beasts. He found a small deserted island nearby and landed on it.

Needing to fly more than 10 days without rest was already taking a great toll on him. After flying at his limits and escaping with all his might just now, even he would feel somewhat exhausted.

He suppressed his own aura to the bare minimum until it was equivalent to the level of the Golden Elixir Realm. Then, he found an empty spot to sit down and recover his Yin Yang Qi.

After his previous escape from death, he discovered that the more he suppressed his aura and the lower his level of cultivation appeared, the easier it was to evade the attacks of the sea beasts. The higher his level of cultivation, the easier it was to lure sea beasts to him.

While he was escaping just now, he had suppressed his aura along the way. That was how he managed to escape being surrounded. Otherwise, with obstacles appearing non-stop before him when he was escaping from a chase, he would not have been able to get away no matter how far he flew.

“There is something strange about these territorial waters.”

Mo Wen frowned as he mused out loud. Right now, he was already certain that these were not ordinary territorial waters. This area had many sea beasts and all of them were so powerful. He even encountered some sea beasts that were comparable to Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators. If his speed was not fast enough, he might have ended up in tragedy.

“Besides that, when I flew through a few regions just now, I detected a few auras that caused even me to tremble in fear. Those sea beasts were at least at the level of Nie Wuxin. They might even be stronger.”

The fear Mo Wen felt was still lingering in his heart. Should the sea beasts pursue him, the consequences would be unimaginable. Thankfully, those sea beasts were uninterested in him.

“Lay low. Lay low.”

He murmured these two words internally. After that, he went on with his journey again; however, he didn’t dare brazenly fly at maximum speed anymore. It was because it was difficult to hide one’s aura while flying. The faster one flew, the stronger the aura fluctuation would be. In order to hide his aura, Mo Wen had to fly at his slowest speed. He could only go on full speed again after he crossed these weird territorial waters.

As expected, when Mo Wen hid his aura, the danger he faced reduced drastically. Occasionally, there would be a few sea beasts surfacing to block his way. But since their level of cultivation wasn’t high, they were no threat to him.

Mo Wen finally experienced what it meant by ‘abasing oneself.’ He had to abase himself in order to survive when faced with such circumstances.

However, he had flown for just a short while before he suddenly sensed a strong energy fluctuation in front of him. The fluctuation was followed by the howling of the wind and the crushing sound of waves.

“Huh? Someone is fighting up ahead.”

A glint of surprise flashed past Mo Wen’s eyes. His deified soul scanned the area and the scenario happening 200 miles ahead appeared in his mind. There were a few people fighting with a sea beast. No, precisely speaking, they weren’t humans; they were members of the Sorcerer Clan.

“I should go over to check out what’s happening. Perhaps they know more about these territorial waters,” Mo Wen thought.

The next moment, his figure flashed and he had traversed 200 miles, appearing before the battlefield.

Currently, three members of the Sorcerer Clan were attacked by a seven-headed sea beast. They were on the brink of being killed. The seven-headed sea beast was no threat for Mo Wen; it was at most at the intermediate stage or later stage of the Primordial Soul Realm. However, the three members of the Sorcerer Clan were not strong. Judging from their aura, the strongest among them was only at the intermediate stage Primordial Soul Realm while the remaining two were at the beginning stage Primordial Soul Realm. Hence, the seven-headed sea beast was a life-threatening danger for them.

Mo Wen’s appearance naturally drew the attention of the three members of the Sorcerer Clan. Upon seeing that someone had come over, their eyes immediately lit up in surprise.

“Friend, please save us.” A burly man shouted out for help. His top half was human; his bottom half was a dark blue snake tail.
