Chapter 303: Section 91: Leave to Further Develop Strength
Blue lightning struck chaotically, shattering stone houses into dust beneath its flash.
Electric currents spread across the seabed.
Despite the seawater being full of impurities, any Fishmen or followers of the Evil God who couldn’t escape in time suffered the consequences.
Some were cooked by the electricity, turning into roasted Fishmen, while others were temporarily paralyzed, helplessly watching as the massive serpent’s body rolled over them.
The five-headed snake was still bound in place, but one of its heads managed to struggle free, its mouth wide open, continuously spraying lightning and thunder plasma.
Fu Bai, who had bound it, trembled more and more violently.
...
She had initially estimated that she could restrain the five-headed snake for ten minutes, but the snake’s madness and strength significantly reduced that time.
Blood trickled from the corners of Fu Bai’s eyes, and the Fish Pearl on her forehead showed almost imperceptible cracks.
The previous Clan Leader of the White Pearl tribe’s breath began to plummet rapidly.
The five-headed snake roared, freeing another head.
This head, full of steel teeth, lunged forward in fury.
With a snap, the five-headed snake missed Fu Bai. Although she couldn’t move, she had intentionally maintained the maximum spell-casting distance from the five-headed snake.
Bound in place, even if it stretched its neck, it couldn’t reach Fu Bai.
“Lord Fu Bai!”
“That was close!”
The surrounding Fishmen exclaimed, as Fu Bai’s safety was crucial for the survival of Sea Eye City.
“What a pity…” lamented a Fishman youth. If Fu Bai were killed, Sea Eye City would fall to ruins today.
This would have been the best outcome for the Justice Pirate Group.
The next moment, another mutation occurred.
The five-headed snake’s steel toothed head swung wildly, its thick neck creating illusions as it moved.
Then, amid the terrified screams of the crowd, the steel-toothed head, along with one neck, detached from the body of the five-headed snake and shot forward.
This was the innate talent of the five-headed snake, a bizarre magic-like ability akin to flesh separation!
Suddenly, the five-headed snake became a four-headed snake, its Gold aura plummeting, but it was still bound in place. However, the detached steel-toothed head, like a dark green kelp, swam fiercely, aiming directly at Fu Bai.
“Block it!”
“Protect Lord Fu Bai!”
The Fishmen shouted in panic, their hearts jumping to their throats.
The leader of the Barbarian Fish Clan was the first to step forward. He summoned all his Fighting Energy and positioned himself in front of the steel toothed clone: “Bring it on! Five Heads Lord, this is just one of your clones with only Silver aura. There’s no reason I couldn’t block it!”
Bang.
The Barbarian Fish Clan leader, despite his full effort, was sent flying like a ball.
Though downgraded to Silver Level, the terrifying physical constitution of the steel-toothed clone still overpowered the clan leader.
Though their Cultivation was the same, the differences in their race and bloodline resulted in vastly different combat strengths.
However, the clan leader’s effort wasn’t in vain; after he was knocked away, the speed of the steel-toothed clone drastically reduced and its momentum halved.
The current Clan Leader of the White Pearl tribe quickly seized this opportunity, activating his Spell.
Ripples continuously formed around the steel-toothed clone, greatly disturbing its advance while also interfering with the Magic Power circulation within its body.
The steel-toothed clone roared, momentarily hindered but eventually broke through the layers of magical ripples.
It violently thrashed its tail, creating a rapid current.
Forced, the Clan Leader of the White Pearl tribe immediately suffered backlash and was about to dodge when the current harshly hit him.
The White Pearl Clan Leader was flung away, smashing through several stone houses along the way and plowing a long trench across the seabed before coming to a stop.
Blood from the White Pearl Clan Leader trailed along his path.
With darkened eyes, he was unable to get up for a moment.
With the last obstacle gone, the steel-toothed clone finally reached Fu Bai.
“Sea Eye City is finished!” countless Fishmen held their heads, faces filled with shock and panic.
“Sea Eye City is finished,” rejoiced the Fishman youth in his heart.
But at that moment, a blue glow like a blooming flower suddenly exploded in front of the steel-toothed clone.
The steel-toothed clone dove headfirst into the blue light, just about to break through.
Then music sounded, and the blue light sharply contracted, forming a spherical cage, entrapping the steel-toothed clone inside.
The steel-toothed clone struggled furiously, twisting its massive body and severely deforming the blue spherical cage as if it were an almost bursting balloon.
The music continued relentlessly and grew louder, steadily reinforcing the blue light sphere until it finally stabilized.
Amid widespred attention, a young man of the Human Race and Xia Bai came forward above Sea Eye City.
Countless question marks arose in the minds of the Fishmen, but seeing Xia Bai, a talented Fishman standing beside the Human Race youth, who was the one who had trapped the steel-toothed clone, the Fishmen of Sea Eye City recognized this man as an ally.
“Could he also be a member of the followers of the Evil God?”
“Golden Level bard!”
“Holy Domain Level instrument!”
The long-haired youth cradled a miniature harp in his arms, his slender fingers elegantly strumming the strings, as the steel-tooth clone struggled with diminishing strength.
The Fishman youth’s pupils shrank; he was also curious about this sudden appearance of a Human Race youth.
Moreover, he keenly noticed something unusual about the aura of the Human Race youth, “Though it’s a Golden Level aura, it’s more robust than peak Gold. How could that be?”
“Is it him?!” Man Ying was shocked; the existence of the Human Race youth was a significant secret among the upper echelons of the three clans, but Man Ying was privy to it.
“You finally arrived… be careful.” The former Clan Leader Fu Bai was at her last gasp; after warning the Human Race youth, she completely withdrew her spell.
Without the restraint of the spell, the five-headed snake finally broke free.
The four massive heads roared skyward, and in place, it employed Magic-like abilities again, its entire body thoroughly disintegrating.
A few breaths later, it split into four giant snakes.
The giant snakes all attacked the Human Race youth.
“Stop them!” the Barbarian Fish Clan Leader roared, “Everyone, attack!”
He charged forward first and collided with one of the giant snakes, evenly matched.
After separating, the four giant snakes, like the steel-tooth clone, were all Silver Level.
Upon receiving the order from the Barbarian Fish Clan Leader, Man Ying finally made his move.
He had been holding back from joining the battle because of instructions from the Barbarian Fish Clan Leader to observe from the sidelines.
First, the strongest equipment within the Barbarian Fish tribe was on the Clan Leader, making it difficult for Man Ying to deal with the five-headed snake.
Second, Man Ying’s presence was crucial, being the hope of the next generation for the Barbarian Fish tribe and bearing the prosperity or decline of the entire tribe. While the Clan Leader fought perilously, Man Ying had to preserve himself for the greater good of the tribe.
Rushing to the front line, Man Ying remained cautious, his usual bravado and ferocity gone.
He had no choice, as his physical prowess far exceeded the other Fishmen, but compared to the Silver Level snake clones, he was at the bottom.
Man Ying could only do his best to cause interference.
Three of the sea snake clones were tied up, leaving only one to attack the Human Race youth.
The Human Race youth calmly used magic to block it.
The sea snake clone’s effort to break through was ineffective and grew increasingly enraged, furiously spewing lightning, poison, and frost. These large-scale attacks ravaged the entire Sea Eye City, causing Fishmen civilians to flee in all directions, resulting in heavy casualties.
Sea Eye City was in chaos.
The Clan Leader of the White Eye Pearl was fully engaged in restraining a sea snake clone when suddenly an attack came from behind.
Caught off guard, the White Eye Pearl Clan Leader was fatally struck by the attacker!
The combat skill fluctuations of the Fishman youth could not be hidden from others, and the dying screams of the White Eye Pearl Clan Leader attracted the attention of many Fishmen.
“Murderer! The murderer has appeared!”
“He killed the White Eye Pearl Clan Leader, oh my Fish God, the White Eye Pearl Clan Leader is dead!”
“Catch him, kill him!”
“How could it be? He is a Barbarian Fishman.”
Before the youth took action, he had quietly transformed into another kind of Fishman form, becoming a Barbarian Fishman.
This way, his burst of Silver Fighting Spirit didn’t seem abrupt.
The White Eye Pearl Clan Leader was a Magic Silver, a significant figure; with his death, the Fishmen’s situation was on the verge of collapsing.
After rampaging, the four sea snake clones charged again at the Human Race youth.
“It’s time to leave.” The Fishman youth swam with all his might; he was already near the city gate, and in a flash, he escaped from Sea Eye City.
“Don’t let him escape!” he heard many Fishmen howling.
“Barbarian Fish tribe, you owe an explanation to the entire Sea Eye City!”
“That wasn’t one of our people. It’s likely an outsider.”
“Catch him, and all truths will be revealed!”
But how to catch him?
The five-headed snake was still causing chaos.
Should they catch the murderer or suppress the five-headed snake to protect Sea Eye City?
The Fishmen were caught in a dilemma.
In the end, it was Fu Bai who yelled, “Stop chasing; this deep-seated vendetta will someday be avenged. But now, if we don’t protect our homeland, what future is there?”
Angered and frustrated, the Fishmen once again focused their firepower on those four sea snake clones.
Rumbling…
Electricity glittered, and poison spread.
Sea Eye City seemed to groan amidst the fierce battle.
While the instigator had already made his escape.
