Chapter 932: The Lady with the Fiery Hair (1/2)

”Aaaah!” Followed by a resounding scream, a woman plunged into the ocean water. She gagged, swallowing the ocean water without control as she flailed erratically. She kicked the water like a paddle, eventually gaining control of her body as she surfaced, gasping for air as she coughed.

Unexpectedly, she had only taken a couple of breaths when she could feel that something was amiss, quickly turning around to see a man lunge a large sword right at her. He was a man of large stature. In his hands was a greatsword, one that he was barely able to use while imbalanced in the water.

At present, his hands that held the great sword were trembling while nerves protruded out from them, alarmingly so as they turned red, becoming violent, slowly blackening. The blood vessels ruptured upon wielding an equipment of the cultivators as a mortal. He hadn't even realized that he had become a mortal, focusing on slashing his opponent apart first.

The change in his state from a cultivator to a mortal caused his swing to go haywire, missing the lady as it cut into the water. The generated force and the momentum carried by the great sword pulled his body into the water, its weight beyond what he could control.

Moreover, the blood vessels on his arms erupted, spilling forth blood like a torrent. Eventually, it dawned on him as he let go of the great sword, intending to surface when a pair of legs landed on his back, one on his hip and the other between his shoulders, pressing him down.

It was the woman that did that, balancing herself accordingly over him, shifting her weight with enough dexterity that the man was unable to move up. He was already out of breath, and no matter which way he tried to move up, she constantly maintained herself over his back, pushing him down.

She had long, fiery hair tied up into a bun on her back. Her marble-like skin was riddled with injuries while she had lost a couple of her fingers. Even though she was a phenomenal beauty, her current appearance was manic at best, oozing with bloodlust.

Her pearl-like eyes shifted around, noticing a couple of figures paddle towards her, having identified her. She unsheathed her dagger, one that she had become accustomed to wielding in the past few years after arriving on the God Realm.

Though, at the very moment she grabbed it, intense pain assaulted her as the nerves on her hand protruded, on the verge of bursting. Having recalled what happened to the man that held the greatsword, she quickly plunged it into the water, impaling it into the back of the man struggling within.

Out of breath, bleeding hands, and now a stab on his back with an item of the cultivators that mortals weren't allowed to touch. Unsurprisingly, he immediately died. Blood gushed out his body, dyeing the water around her red.

The couple of people that were swimming towards her saw the figure of the man of large stature surface and float just like corpses did. They immediately screamed, ”That scummy Feifei betrayed us and killed the boss.”

”Avenge the boss!”

Upon seeing their arrival, her eyes didn't seem disturbed, placing her hand on the back of the man she had killed. She was ready to pull out the dagger at a moment's notice to attack. At present, that dagger was like a potent poison to everyone in the area, so she planned to do exactly that.

Even as a cultivator, using equipment beyond a certain stage above their cultivation base would harm them. And now, as a mortal, any equipment a cultivator used would straight up kill them in a matter of seconds.

The two people were only 10 meters from her when Feifei noticed a black shadow swim in the ocean above. Only now did she notice it, becoming shocked at the fact that there was an entire ocean above her.

Though, she didn't have time to marvel at the fact, grabbing hold of the man's corpse as she paddled back with all her strength, watching the massive shadow above approach the surface, make a tiny leap, and plunge into the ocean below.

It seemed similar to a squid but sported a massive mouth in place of its head, inside it filled to the brim with sharp teeth. It spanned a length of 20 meters, a behemoth. Unsurprisingly, it clamped on the two people, passing just before Feifei as one of its ten eyes shot open, glaring at her.

In reflex, she took out the dagger from the man's corpse, and before it completely passed by her, she plunged it into its body. The dagger easily pierced its body, getting lodged in its flesh until the hilt.

Upon seeing that the creature wouldn't leave her alone, she acted the moment a chance presented itself before her, using the property of the dagger. Even though her hand began to bleed a little from holding the dagger once again, she smiled as the creature screamed, flailing in pain as the nerves in its body protruded.

Five seconds later, it surfaced, bleeding profusely, dying in a matter of seconds. And at the same time, its blood touched Feifei, being absorbed by her. This caused her to scream in pain that was akin to getting doused by boiling water.

Ten seconds later, she lay weakly on the water, floating aimlessly as her body touched the floating carcass of the creature. She somehow managed to climb up to its top and plopped on it, gasping for air now that she didn't need to paddle in the water anymore.

She looked at the dagger positioned next to her, lodged into the creature's body, chuckling as she muttered, ”Hah, that was fun.”
