Chapter 361: Section 148: Slash the Gold!
Deep Sea Monster Fish—Arc Gun—Python Flow Bomb.
Golden Level demon energy ship!
Golden Level cannon!
Golden Level bomb!
The thick, python-like azure electric current struck directly at the bottom of General Kan Qiao’s flagship.
The flagship was protected by a light-shield cup, but it couldn’t withstand the blow.
The biggest weakness of the light-shield cup was at the rim, where its protection of the ship’s bottom was very weak.
The Deep Sea Monster Fish unleashed a soul-piercing shot!
The terrifying current penetrated the bottom of the ship, then shot straight up through the deck before spreading in all directions.
In that instant, hundreds of Navy soldiers on General Kan Qiao’s flagship were electrocuted to death. Numerous devices exploded, creating billowing smoke.
Flames began to burn and quickly spread along the hull.
“Put out the fire, put it out fast!!”
“We’ve got a leak, my god, the hole in the hull is too big.”
“The warship is sinking!”
“Where is the medical team? Save people quickly!”
Even the first officer’s strenuous commands couldn’t salvage the situation.
The Navy’s warship, having clenched onto the Justice Pirate Group, began sinking just as it was about to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
The Deep Sea Monster Fish didn’t target General Kan Qiao, as the Navy Rear Admiral was fully armed with rapid speed, which didn’t guarantee a hit rate.
But striking the Navy flagship inflicted massive casualties, drastically reducing the pressure of the pirate ships in battle.
Such a choice was wise and secure.
General Kan Qiao only glanced back at his flagship for a moment before quickly refocusing, locking on to the Fishman youth once again.
He was not surprised. The Navy intelligence had already revealed the existence of the Deep Sea Monster Fish.
Nor was he particularly agonized over the loss of Navy lives on the flagship.
In war, people die!
As a fierce general seasoned in battle, Kan Qiao had long abandoned any hesitation; now, he just wanted to kill the Fishman youth and secure victory.
Golden Fighting Spirit surged rapidly from the thrusters on his back, and like a rampant elephant, Kan Qiao charged straight at the Fishman youth.
Once again the Fishman youth deployed his Flowing Blade Combat Skill, stretching both arms out to his sides.
He didn’t dodge or evade but charged at Kan Qiao as well, dragging two slender Dual Flow Blades behind him.
Boom!
The two collided like bolts of lightning, and then brushed past each other.
Their Fighting energy clashed, exploding into towering waves of water.
“So hard,” noted the Fishman youth, his blades shattered. But the next instant, he once more conjured two new Dual Flow Blades.
Silver Fighting Spirit couldn’t exist independently from the body, so the Flowing Blade Combat Skill was actually quite ingenious. It used the water current as a carrier for Fighting energy, simulating the might of Golden Fighting Spirit when separated from the body.
Most importantly, in the deep sea, there was an endless supply of water; the Fishman youth didn’t fret about his Dual Flow Blades being shattered.
As long as his Fighting energy wasn’t depleted, he had unlimited Dual Flow Blades.
“So fast!” Meanwhile, General Kan Qiao also exclaimed in amazement.
During that last collision, he hadn’t managed to strike the Fishman youth at all; instead, he had received two cuts.
One cut on his neck, another on his back.
Bang.
A faint sound. General Kan Qiao’s left-side thruster suffered a minor explosion and was split by the Fishman youth’s blade.
It seemed that this piece of mechanical armor prioritized function, its defense slightly lackluster.
General Kan Qiao’s heart sank.
He immediately understood the Fishman youth’s tactical intention.
“Again!” General Kan Qiao turned to face his opponent once more.
But as soon as he turned around, his pupils involuntarily contracted.
The Fishman youth had already charged up to him, only a dozen steps away!
General Kan Qiao swiftly held his great sword vertically in defense, as Golden Fighting Spirit burst forth.
Clang!
The Fishman youth moved as swiftly as lightning, brushing past General Kan Qiao again.
The Dual Blades viciously struck Kan Qiao’s sword handle, scattering the gathered Golden Fighting Spirit into a dazzling golden spray.
“His speed has increased,” Kan Qiao’s eyes twitched, he swiftly realigned his Fighting energy, almost instantaneously turning around.
But this time, the Fishman was less than ten steps from him!
Clang!
Another brush past in their exchange of blows.
The surging water flows, generated from their rapid movement, made the force even stronger.
“His speed increased again,” Kan Qiao finally showed a trace of shock.
Golden Level was already fast, but the Fishman Divine Son’s speed was even faster, far surpassing their initial exchange, and what was more terrifying—his speed continued to increase.
The Light and Thin Fate Fighting Energy technique!
Once the user of this Holy Domain Level Fighting Energy constantly employed it, their speed would continuously increase, but the drawback also became apparent—their defense would continuously weaken.
For the Fishman youth, this manifested in his scales rapidly thinning and becoming brittle.
However, at the same time, the recovery speed of the Light and Thin Fate Fighting Energy was also fiercely increasing!
It was as if he had been accumulating Fighting Energy in the underwater whirlpools during his previous cultivation. Now, although there were no ready-made ocean currents, when the Fishman youth zipped through the water at high speed, didn’t the still water, relatively speaking, become an uninterrupted stream?
“He can get even faster!” After several more exchanges, General Kan Qiao was actually suppressed in place, forced into a passive defense.
In terms of speed, the Golden Level Navy vice admiral was no longer at an advantage against the Fishman youth.
“Underwater combat allows him to fully exploit his advantage in speed,” Cang Xu thought as he saw the Fishman youth charging again; General Kan Qiao finally began to counterattack.
He let out a low roar, unleashing a Combat Skill in advance.
Horizontal Blade Slash!
A formidable burst of Golden Fighting Spirit surged like a wall, sweeping across.
Derived Combat Skill—Dual Flow Blades crossing.
The Fishman youth raised the Flowing Blade in front of himself, and his whole body, like a bomb, slammed into the golden wall, pushed backward by the immense Fighting Energy, his speed drastically dropping.
After Kan Qiao executed this move, his Golden Fighting Spirits significantly diminished, and his energy clearly weakened.
His body was rapidly recovering energy.
The jet on his back once again expelled Golden Fighting Spirit, propelling him like an arrow shot straight towards the Deep Sea Monster Fish.
“What a fierce warrior!” The Fishman youth couldn’t help but praise internally.
If it were someone else, or even the Fishman youth himself, the choice at this moment would be to retreat thoroughly and leave the underwater battlefield to fight on the ship.
But General Kan Qiao, fierce and brave by nature, showed no intention of backing down, facing the difficulty head-on and going after the trouble on the Deep Sea Monster Fish.
Deep Sea Monster Fish was extremely important to the Justice Pirate Group. It housed several Divine Artifacts within it, including the spirits of Mei Lan God and the Feathered Snake God.
Moreover, it was the only Golden Level demon energy ship in the Justice Pirate Group, fast in sailing, adept at hiding, equipped with a wide-ranging Magic Device for detection. Capable of underwater travel, it was the primary reliance for the Justice Pirate Group in their current escape from the Empire’s pursuit, and it could not afford to fail.
Seeing Kan Qiao lunging forward, Cang Xu on the Deep Sea Monster Fish was startled and hastily maneuvered the Alchemy Ship to evade backward.
However, the Deep Sea Monster Fish’s agility was far inferior to that of Kan Qiao, and it could not pick up speed in comparison.
Although both were Golden Level, the Deep Sea Monster Fish was restrained by Kan Qiao; with point against area, he could definitely sink the Alchemy Ship.
In the crisis, Cang Xu immediately took control.
The fish eyes of the Deep Sea Monster Fish erupted with beams of light, enshrouding Kan Qiao, causing his speed to plummet.
Then, the Deep Sea Monster Fish opened its mouth, revealing another Golden Cannon.
Deep Sea Monster Fish—Water Pressure Cannon—Vortex Bomb.
The Golden Level bomb was fired in front of Kan Qiao and exploded violently on impact.
After the blast, a temporary underwater whirlpool formed at the original position. The whirlpool’s rapid flow temporarily entrapped Kan Qiao.
The Fishman youth took advantage of the situation and charged straight into the whirlpool.
The Fishman God’s Divine Bloodline gave him an extraordinary perception of water currents, and his previous arduous training made him even more experienced. He was like a son of the sea; the whirlpool became his aid, boosting his speed significantly, making him seem ghostly!
Kan Qiao could only fend for himself for a moment.
The Flowing Blade of the Fishman youth seemed to assail him simultaneously from all directions, attacking his head, arms, chest, back, waist, and legs.
The Golden Fighting Spirit had barely surged when it was scattered by the strikes.
More and more wounds rapidly appeared on Kan Qiao’s Battle Armor. The mechanical creation began to disintegrate.
Kan Qiao’s face turned grave as he intended to use an explosive Combat Skill to shatter the underwater vortex.
But the Fishman youth knew what he was planning and preemptively deployed a Combat Skill—Red Scale Frenzy!
The Fishman youth’s attack speed and strength increased again.
For a moment, he seemed to be able to slash with dozens of blades.
Slice, slice, slice!
Chop, chop, chop!
The twin Flowing Blades, infused with Silver Fighting Spirit, swirled around Kan Qiao, and due to the extreme speed of the blades, a sky-full of sword light formed, coming at him like the surge of silver tides.
Kan Qiao’s pupils constricted, his heart filled with a chilling sensation, being suppressed by the Fishman youth to the point where he couldn’t use any Combat Skill!
Bang.
The Mechanical Battle Armor on his body was shattered completely and fell apart.
Crack.
The hilt of his greatsword, riddled with damage, finally gave way and was cleaved into two pieces.
“I can go even faster! I can go even faster!!” The Fishman youth, passionate and exuberant in spirit, was at the peak of his fighting will.
At this moment, his scales were thin and brittle, like pieces of paper, and if Kan Qiao hit him, it would result in a serious injury, if a blade struck, he would be cut in two.
More and more gashes appeared on Kan Qiao’s body, blood spurting wildly, while the consumption of Golden Fighting Spirit was intense, and the recovery speed couldn’t keep up with the battle’s demands.
“I’m going all out!” Kan Qiao completely gave up defense, relying on his body’s instinct and looked towards the forward-left.
He had chosen the correct direction.
Enormous warning bells sounded in the heart of the Fishman youth!
Derived Combat Skill—Instant Flow Blade!
The next moment, the Fishman youth disappeared from his original spot, and when he appeared, he was already more than ten meters behind Kan Qiao.
Kan Qiao’s desperate counterattack failed, and his neck was severed by the Combat Skill, his head swiftly separating from his body in the underwater whirlpool. Gushes of fresh blood spewed out, rapidly staining the surrounding seawater red.
“Did the lord win?!” Cang Xu, on board the Deep Sea Monster Fish, witnessed this scene, his usually indifferent expression now replaced by shock.
With a silver body, he had cut down Gold!
