Chapter 337 - Attack on the Ferry (2/2)

The beasts' physical prowess might be much stronger in comparison, but the martial artists were able to make up for the difference with their cultivation and combat techniques.

Now that the martial artists were in the water, the Blue-finned Razor Whales no longer targeted the ferry.

They charged at the three demons in the water, trying to make use of their superior physical prowess to overwhelm their targets.

As for the three demons, each of them executed profound combat techniques to fend off the beasts.

However, their energy consumption rate was higher than usual due to the sole fact that they had to fight underwater and go against the water resistance.

They were currently able to stand their own against the huge Blue-finned Razor Whales and keep them off the ferry, but it was only a matter of time until they become exhausted.

”Brother Xuan Hao, I don't think the three of them can last much longer!”

The remaining of the group of five was a young lady, and she stood alongside Young Master Xuan Hao in a battle stance.

Young Master Xuan Hao did not reply, merely staring forward at the cloaked man's smug expression.

Did he really have no choice but to use his life-saving trump card?

Hmm?

Right at that moment, Young Master Xuan Hao felt movement coming from behind him.

Before he knew it, a figure had flashed past him, leaping over the par.a.p.et of the ferry and diving into the water.

”That's...?” Young Master Xuan Hao and his female companion could not help but turn around to look at Nanlan Qianxue.

Right now, apart from Young Master Xuan Hao and his female companion, Nanlan Qianxue was the only one else left on the open deck.

”Don't worry,” Nanlan Qianxue replied with a smile. ”He said he will be back soon.”

Splash-!

A wave of refreshing coolness washed over him as Lu Tianzi dived into the clear waters of the Canal of Misery.

Relishing in the feeling of being surrounded by water, he let out a subconscious smile before turning his attention to his surroundings.

Around him, around twenty Blue-finned Razor Whales were circling around the ferry, assaulting the three martial artists who were trying their best to fend them off.

”Be careful, these beasts are strong!” one of the three sent a voice conveyance message to Lu Tianzi upon noticing his appearance in the water.

The three martial artists were all at the Fourth or Fifth Origin Cycles. In comparison, Lu Tianzi's Second Cycle Origin Core realm cultivation level seemed to be slightly lacking.

While the three martial artists were thankful to be receiving help from their fellow passengers, they could not help but feel worried for him as well.

However, Lu Tianzi himself was completely unconcerned.

With a sudden burst of speed, Lu Tianzi shot straight past the encircling pod of Blue-finned Razor Whales.

The three martial artists in the water could not help but reveal looks of surprise.

Lu Tianzi's movement technique seemed completely effortless. It almost appeared as though he was not the one who was moving, but it was the river water that was carrying him along.

Flowing River Silent Strides.

It was initially developed as a ground movement technique, allowing a martial artist to move as though being carried by a flowing river, traversing wide distances in a swift but effortless manner.

After multiple refinements from Lu Tianzi, the movement technique had evolved and reached a higher level.

While it was unable to help Lu Tianzi while he was flying through the air, it was a completely different matter now that he was in the water.

Here, it was even more effective than on land!

With a sudden burst of speed, Lu Tianzi easily broke out of the encirclement of the Blue-finned Razor Whales, charging straight for the cloaked man in the distance.

He might not have been the target of the attack, but he and Nanlan Qianxue would be affected as well if they ferry were to sink.

Since his fellow passengers seemed to be having trouble taking care of the situation, Lu Tianzi decided to lend them a hand.

Of course, if things got dangerous, his priority would still be to get away as fast as possible.

”Hmm?” the cloaked man suddenly furrowed his brows as he directed his attention downwards. ”Overestimating yourself!”

A heavy sword appeared in his hand as he slashed downwards, sending out a powerful sword light that seemed to cut straight through the water body itself.

”Look out!” Young Master Xuan Hao warned worriedly.

He simply did not understand why a Second Cycle Origin Core realm martial artist would rush into close combat with someone four whole Origin Cycles above him.

He might not have any better ideas either, but this was simply too reckless!

Young Master Xuan Hao's words of caution were naturally directed towards Lu Tianzi, who was quickly approaching the cloaked man from underwater.

However, Lu Tianzi ignored the warning, keeping his attention focused on the cloaked man's actions instead.

The cloaked man's powerful sword light had cut through the water and was now headed straight for him.

With a flick of his wrist, the Moon Culler appeared in Lu Tianzi's right hand.

When the bright moonlight shone through the clear waters of the Canal of Misery to land on the treasure sword, the Moon Culler seemed to tremble in excitement, releasing a dull grey energy that encased the entire blade.

Lu Tianzi decisively slashed out, his every movement completely unaffected by the water resistance.

If anything, the water even seemed to be pushing his arm along, increasing the might of his attack!

Bang-!

The Moon Culler smashed against the sword light from the cloaked man, the collision sending out powerful waves in all directions.

Even the Blue-finned Razor Whales with their huge bodies could not help but sway along helplessly when struck by the underwater currents.

”What?!”

Be it friend or foe, everyone present widened their eyes in shock.

Was this really the power that a Second Cycle Origin Core realm martial artist should possess?!
