Chapter 704 (2/2)

Entangled with him was a Demonic Beast of the sea at the Golden Core Stage.

This man and beast seemed to be locked in a fierce battle.

Lin Jing followed the spiritual power fluctuations and continued forward.

Before long, he saw the man and beast in combat.

The cultivator ahead was a man dressed in green robes, and below him on the sea surface, there were also some remnants of wooden boats floating.

The one he was entangled with was a gigantic Demonic Beast with a single eye on its head and eight tentacles on its body.

The beast’s tentacles were very long and the tips were extremely sharp spikes.

The tentacles of the Demonic Beast could be used both to entangle and to sneak attack the enemy with their spiked ends.

The man in the green robe was clearly struggling to fend off the beast’s attacks.

Perhaps they had been fighting each other for some time.

Lin Jing noticed that the man seemed to be running low on spiritual power.

Lin Jing appeared and saw the entangled duo.

The cultivator and the Demonic Beast likewise noticed Lin Jing.

Upon seeing Lin Jing’s arrival, the man in green robes was startled for a moment, then became excited.

“Fellow Daoist!”

“Please help me eliminate this Demonic Beast.

As long as you help me kill this beast, I will certainly offer a generous reward.”

It seemed that Lin Jing’s arrival gave the man in green robes a significant boost in confidence.

After speaking, he immediately took the opportunity to command his flying sword and slashed at the Demonic Beast.

While slashing at the beast, the man in green robes also spoke:

“Fellow Daoist…”

“I’ll hold off this beast from the front.

You can launch a surprise attack from behind.

Together, we can surely slay this beast.”

…

The sudden arrival of Lin Jing, along with the proactive engagement from the green-robed cultivator, made the Demonic Beast sense danger.

It directly swung its eight tentacles together, launching an attack from the front.

Not only those eight tentacles, but…

There was also a slender tentacle that extended from behind the beast, passing through the water below to circle around to the back of the man in green robes, ready to strike him.

It turned out that the Demonic Beast actually had nine tentacles, and it had always hidden the last slim one.

The man in green robes, seeing so many tentacles attacking at once, quickly conjured several spiritual shields in front of him.

At the same time, his controlled flying sword did not hesitate for a moment and accelerated towards the Demonic Beast.

He only focused on the front and seemed to be completely unaware of the attacking tentacle from behind.

Although the man in green robes didn’t notice it, Lin Jing saw it clearly.

Lin Jing had been planning to ask around for some information, so how could he let this man die?

Therefore.

Lin Jing immediately activated the Five Elements Divine Art, condensing a Five-Colored Aurora which rushed into the Demonic Beast’s body at an extremely fast speed.

“Explode!”

Following Lin Jing’s low shout, the Five-Colored Aurora burst inside the Demonic Beast’s body.

In an instant…

The Demonic Beast suddenly became motionless.

It was only now that the man in green robes’ flying sword, arriving later than expected, cut into the Demonic Beast’s body.

When the Five-Colored Aurora appeared, the man in green robes naturally noticed it.

But, he never thought.

That a mere ball of five-colored light could have such immense power.

To his surprise, it directly finished off the Demonic Beast.

He knew that the other party was not a Golden Core Daoist as he had imagined.

The other must be at least a senior at the Nascent Soul Stage.

He immediately turned around, wanting to thank the senior.

Just as he was turning, he noticed the tentacles that had lost control and were falling downwards.

Somehow, a tentacle had appeared behind him.

It seemed that the Demonic Beast had attempted a sneak attack on him just before.

Seeing this, the man in green robes suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He hadn’t realized just how dangerous the situation had been.

Then.

The already dead Demonic Beast fell straight from the sky and, with a “plop,” landed in the sea below.

Only after the Demonic Beast fell into the sea did the man in green robes come to himself.

Afterward…

He rode his sword to Lin Jing’s side and greeted him with a cupped-fist salute:

“Thank you, senior, for your timely rescue!”
