Chapter 223 - You Are Looking for the Sea God, It Has Nothing To Do With Me… (1/2)
In the seawater, Li Changshou continuously used Water Escape and headed for the ambush array set up by the paper effigy army.
It was a counter-attack where they besieged the other party.
Through some tricks like the paper fish, Li Changshou had already confirmed that there were about three hundred fish chasing after him and blocking him.
Among them were forty-two Heaven Immortals. The rest were all Perfected Immortals. Among the members of the Sea Clan, most of them were fish-headed creatures with human bodies.
What was more eye-catching were a few beautiful mermaids with alluring figures. Their thick fish lips were also smeared with bright-red-colored unknown ointments. They were slightly… exciting.
Li Changshou had already dodged the other party’s interceptions several times.
Every time those people wanted to surround him, Li Changshou’s Water Escape technique would suddenly speed up and he would be able to escape from their encirclement.
Unknowingly, Li Changshou had gone from the southeast to the southwest…
He had long been mult.i.tasking. The paper effigy army arrived at a deserted island in the East Ocean. After investigating the situation within a few thousand kilometers, the two paper effigies in charge of transporting, sent dozens of paper effigies that released poison and scattered beans, out to different areas. They would be reserved for later.
Li Changshou had already a.n.a.lyzed why he was stuck.
However, the most likely reason he could come up with was that he had been targeted by the Sea Clan rebellion forces…
Although he could not rule out the possibility that that was the Western Sect’s plan to take revenge on him, it would be a little unreasonable if they only targeted his incarnation
Moreover, if the Western Sect really attacked, they only needed to arrange for a ferocious person in the Golden Immortal realm to ambush him. His incarnation would not be able to deal with it at all…
He felt that it was most likely that trouble arose because there were many people who addressed him as the Sea G.o.d, during the banquet at the Dragon Palace.
There was nothing he could do.
At that time, the people of the Heavenly Courts were at the side. If he concealed his ident.i.ty, he would not be the “friends.h.i.+p bridge” between the dragon race and the Heavenly Courts.
Li Changshou gradually adjusted his Water Escape speed, giving his opponent the illusion that he had used some mystic technique to accelerate continuously.
At that moment, the effects of the secret technique had begun to fade. The Sea Clan rebels thought that their chance had arrived.
At that moment, the hundreds of figures within a radius of a thousand kilometers began their final encirclement…
Out of respect for the enemy, Li Changshou’s thoughts raced wildly in his mind. He set up three tactics and six backups, and all his attention was used.
The six paper effigies had already made preparations to face the enemy. They scattered some colorless and odorless incapacitating agents that required a certain amount of time to take effect, into the sea area near the deserted island.
Then, Li Changshou’s paper effigy incarnation, who had been targeted, “coincidentally” entered the enemy’s ambush…
The battle in the sea had just begun. Li Changshou retreated immediately, not giving his opponent any chance to attack.
The few Sea Clan Heaven Immortals, who were adept at water battles, could not stop him for a moment.
This was the effect of continuously trying and pondering over the Water Escape technique back then!
There seemed to be nothing to be proud of. It was all because he was too poor and did not have any numinous treasures. He could only use his mystical abilities to make up for it.
A moment later, Li Changshou’s paper effigy stood on the deserted island.
A vortex appeared on the surface of the sea surrounding the deserted island. Hundreds of figures approached from afar and surrounded them at the same time.
The other party’s vigilance was extremely low. He did not notice anything unusual about that area, and he did not notice the dozens of paper effigies lurking at the bottom of the sea…
Li Changshou scanned his surroundings. There was not much immortal power left in that paper effigy. It was completely used for defending and protecting himself.
Hence, his cultivation level, which was at the early-stage of Heaven Immortal realm was revealed.
Most of the fish-men around them sneered and looked at the humans that were surrounded by them smugly…
When those Sea Clan members were chasing Li Changshou, they instantly suspected that the Sea G.o.d they ambushed and captured today was a loach from a large lake on land! However, they had finally surrounded that slippery fellow!
The ocean was their home ground!
At that moment, Li Changshou, who was surrounded by hundreds of Sea Clan members, frowned slightly. On the other side, the Sea Clan cultivators looked at Li Changshou with hatred.
It was as if Li Changshou had a feud with them and they had a grudge against him!
Most of the Sea Clan members in the Primordial World had human bodies and fish heads.
Only the merman race had the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish.
Their bodies were split into half-human and half-fish, right in the middle. If the Heavenly Dao did not allow it, they would definitely not exist. Li Changshou’s heart was clear. His eyes were filled with fear. When he looked around, he looked slightly fl.u.s.tered.
When the Sea Clan surrounded him, Li Changshou asked coldly, “Fellow Daoists, what do you mean?”
“The Sea G.o.d of the South Ocean!”
A female Sea Clan member who was at the peak of the Heaven Immortal realm held a steel trident and shouted, “You helped the dragon race to bully the Sea Clan. You shall face your end today! Die!”
“Hold on!”
Li Changshou frowned and shouted softly. He calculated the time that the incapacitating agents would take effect in his heart and deduced if there was anyone hiding their cultivation level.
He secretly controlled the other paper effigy and secretly injected some essence soul poison into the aura of the fish-men.
To be safe, Li Changshou had to stall for some time so that the poison would be effective. He continued, “Since you’re looking for the Sea G.o.d of the South Ocean, what does it have to do with me, the Daoist Sea Cuc.u.mber?”
“Daoist-Daoist Sea Cuc.u.mber?”
The female fishman was stunned. She frowned and said, “Aren’t you the Sea G.o.d of the South Ocean?”
Li Changshou shrugged. “Didn’t you guys hear others calling me Sea Cuc.u.mber in the Dragon Palace? Did you mistake me for the Sea G.o.d? Logically speaking, I’ve seen the Sea G.o.d of the South Ocean before. He’s a kind-looking senior. He’s completely different from me. I’m not using any illusions or trickery, so I definitely can’t fool you guys, right?”
“Huh?”
A few fishmen at the peak of the Heaven Immortal realm looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes.
Could they have made a mistake?
A fishman said, “I’d rather kill the wrong person than let him off.”
“That’s right! The humans are as despicable as the dragons! Don’t let this person off!’
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
They really believed that nonsense?
Although Li Changshou had already known that the Sea Clan did not have much intelligence or wisdom, and were innocent, he did not expect them to be that naive!
They are indeed the fishes that were tricked by the Western Sect!
Life in the ocean is definitely much more comfortable than on the sh.o.r.e. No wonder so many people chose to go to the ocean in their previous life…
Ahem. I’ve gone off track.
Li Changshou frowned and said, “Everyone, there’s a saying in the human race that it’s best not to make enemies. You guys besieged me today but I can pretend that nothing happened. However, if you really attack me, you will definitely suffer and have revenge taken against you. Moreover, this revenge will come very quickly.”
“Hmph! We aren’t even afraid of the dragon race. Why would we be afraid of you!?!”
The female fishman who was in charge shouted coldly. Her pair of fish eyes emitted a strange glow as she shouted, “Stop talking to him! Kill him!”
“In the future!”
A sea clan general with a pair of huge hands jumped onto the edge of the deserted island from the sea and immediately attacked Li Changshou. Li Changshou did not hesitate. He took two steps back and suddenly raised his hand to press it down.
He shouted, “Thousand Poison Soul-Extinguis.h.i.+ng Hand!”
