Chapter 33: Rescue!

  Five people knelt on the ground, Qin Yi pointed with one finger, whooshing sounds, five true energies condensed into shape and stood on the ground.

  Witnessing this scene, Wu Peng and others admired Qin Yi even more. They released their true energy, which could be achieved by anyone in the Jie Ti realm, but being able to condense true energy into a shape that lasted for a long time was impossible unless one's Jie Ti realm had reached its peak!

  Just thinking about being able to be brothers with a genius like Qin Yi made them feel quite proud.

  "I am Qin Yi!"

  "It's me, Wu Peng!"

  "I am Zhao Jing Sheng!"

  "I promise!"

  "I have returned!"

  "Today we make a vow, to become brothers. We don't ask for the same year, month and day of birth, but we ask for the same year, month and day of death. From now on, we'll share good fortune together, and face difficulties together. If anyone breaks this oath, may they be struck by five thunderbolts, cut by ten thousand swords, suffer all kinds of torture and die!" The five men spoke in unison, loudly.

  Facing the misty waves, the five of them knocked their heads three times and then stood up. Each person felt that they were filled with strength inside.

  "Alright, let's set off! As long as we work together with one heart, we'll definitely return with a full load!" said Qin Yi.

  "Yes, let's go while the other disciples haven't gone deep yet." Wu Peng held his immortal sword and leaped towards the nearest dark reef.

  Misty Bay, vast and boundless, located at the entrance of the ocean, in a remote area, with fog lingering all year round, hidden reefs and strange creatures everywhere. It is unknown how many ships have gone missing here, nor how many cultivators seeking treasure have lost their lives here.

  Because it was at the entrance to the sea, the seawater wasn't very deep, and there were numerous reefs and islets crisscrossing everywhere, which could be used as footholds and walkways; otherwise, with Wu Peng's group strength, they wouldn't have been able to move about freely.

  Five people walked along the reef, gradually deepening into the foggy bay, with faint white smoke and eerie shadows all around, as if there were ghosts lurking nearby.

  But with five people doing their respective jobs and having brothers by their side, they were no longer afraid.

  An hour later, night fell, the sky was as black as ink, the stars twinkled, and the moon hung in the sky like a huge silver plate.

  The temperature around also drops sharply with the moon rising high in the sky, becoming cold.

  The air exhaled by several people all condensed into white frost.

  Wu Peng and others were all in the Refining Bone realm, with robust physiques, but still had to rely on swallowing elixirs to maintain their body temperature and resist the cold.

  Only Qin Yi had a thick and pure aura covering the surface of his body, surging and swirling like a thin layer of armor, which could completely resist the cold.

  Other cultivators would rather save their true energy if they could, but Qin Yi's true energy was like a vast ocean, and he wasn't afraid of exhausting it.

  Looking at Qin Yi standing proudly on the reef, Wu Peng and others felt envious while also being proud of having such a brother, without any jealousy.

  "Hush, someone is approaching." Qin Yi's mind stirred, his true energy flowing out from the soles of his feet and into the water's surface, spreading out in a circle of about three hundred steps.

  A figure like a flash of lightning suddenly accelerated at the moment when Qin Yi reminded everyone, splitting the water surface and making a loud whooshing sound.

  "Roar!"

  A loud roar, like a beast howling, bursts open the sea water, and a huge figure suddenly rises from the water, casting a ferocious black shadow in the moonlight. The seawater is lifted into the air, like a heavy rain falling down.

  "It's a merman!" Wu Peng exclaimed.

  This fisherman's aura alone is beyond comparison with those they previously slaughtered!

  He stood at a height of over two zhang, majestic and powerful. His body was covered in armor woven from seaweed and coral, his skin a deep green color. His arms and thighs were as thick as small water buckets, with well-developed muscles that burst forth with explosive power.

  The body of the fish man had taken on a human form, but its head was still that of a fish with sharp teeth, yellow-green eyeballs rolling with thick mucus, staring fixedly at Qin Yi and the others. Its mouth full of sharp teeth chomped up and down, making a sound that made people's teeth ache.

  "Roar!" The fish-man let out another furious roar, and with a sudden swing of his tail, he slapped the water's surface, whipping up waves as high as three men. His arm rose high into the air, holding an iron anchor weighing over 1,000 catties, its surface covered in rust spots. As it swung through the air, it emitted a low rumbling sound like thunder, and then suddenly came crashing down towards the crowd.

  This fishman's power has probably already reached the pinnacle of the Bone Forging Realm, Bone Forging Ninth Layer!

  "Seeking death!" Zhao Jing Sheng brandished his knife and charged forward, the blade flashing like a shooting star. With a loud clang, sparks burst forth as the heavenly-grade treasured knife sliced through the iron anchor in an instant.

  A huge iron anchor flew into mid-air.

  However, Zhao Jing Sheng originally only had a Bone Refining Boundary of five layers, which was four layers lower than the fishman. Receiving this intense collision, the precious sword in his hand almost fell out, and fresh blood spurted from the tiger's mouth as he retreated over ten steps, his face flushed red, with a sweet and fishy smell coming from his nose and mouth.

  The fish-man took a step back, immediately stabilizing his body, let out a loud roar, jumped high into the air, grabbed the iron anchor in mid-air, and was about to slam it down on everyone's heads once again.

  "Harm my brother, go to death!" Qin Yi let out a loud roar, and with a loud crash, the rocks beneath his feet turned into powder. His body moved as fast as lightning, with an aura of thunder and lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived above the fish man, slapping down with one palm.

  The air around made a "zip" sound, forming a whirlwind, the iron anchor made a "clanking" sound, and in the blink of an eye, it was stirred into a tangled mess, then transformed into an iron disc.

  Boom!

  The cyclone followed Qin Yi's palm, heavily hitting the iron plate, like the trampling force of an ancient southern barbarian giant elephant, driving the iron plate, like a falling star, to strike the fish man's head.

  A dull thud, the fish-man's head exploded like a watermelon, splitting into four or five pieces, the entire head was smashed into his neck, smashed into his lung cavity, smashed into his abdomen, dragging the whole body down, tearing the fish-man's massive torso in two from the waist, the lower half smashing into the ground, a torrent of blood, like a small fountain, gushed up from underground, the upper half nearly minced meat, floating on the sea sponge, the surrounding seawater was all dyed ink black.

  One move knocked out the ninth layer of the Bone Refining Realm, and it was done with bare fists. Qin Yi's strength once again left everyone in awe.

  Wu Peng reached out with his sword and gently poked at the upper half of the fish person's body, causing a crystal nucleus the size of a child's fist to fall into his hand.

  This demon core emits a demonic aura, and under the moonlight, it releases an eerie glow. Its purity and precision are more than ten times higher than those small demon cores collected earlier!

  "This crystal core can be directly exchanged for some merit points." Wu Peng said, looking at Qin Yi.

  "Hmm, put these away first, we still have more than 20 days, we can gather more crystal nuclei." Qin Yi said.

  "Yes, with Qin Yi brothers here, our collection speed will certainly be much faster than other teams." Zeng Xuanxin was overjoyed.

  Qin Yi smiled and did not deny it, but he knew that his team was unlikely to be the first, as Luo's team had overall strength that surpassed his own.

  To become stronger, the top priority is to completely melt the Huangquan Xiriandan in the heart.

  Qin Yi touched his chest and suddenly saw a glimmer in the corner of his eye. He looked at the corpse floating on the surface of the water and saw something shining with a faint light.

  With a swipe of his claw, the Fisherman's corpse split open, and a jade token flew into Qin Yi's hand.

  "It's the waist card of our Tiān Shèng College students!" Wu Peng exclaimed.

  "The jade token is brand new and hasn't been eroded yet, apparently this disciple was swallowed not long ago." Qin Yi looked at the waist token with yellow characters on it, apparently the deceased was also an outer disciple.

  "There's more inside!" Xu used his sword to stab again, and another token appeared before everyone's eyes.

  "Was someone attacked?" Wu Peng looked at Qin Yi and asked, everyone was waiting for Qin Yi's response.

  Qin Yi has become the core of this small team.

  Qin Yi sank into thought for a moment, then said: "The waist card is brand new, it's clear that the battle has just ended not long ago. No matter if there are any survivors or not, we must hurry over. As fellow disciples of Tian Sheng College, we have no reason to abandon them!"

  Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard Qin Yi's words.

  Qin Yi finished speaking, and suddenly had an indescribable feeling, as if the dragon in the universe inside his body moved slightly. This feeling was very subtle, and when he wanted to carefully feel it again, the dragon remained suspended there, without a single movement.

  Time was pressing, and Qin Yi didn't have time to think too much. With a burst of true energy, he chased after the faint trail left by the fisherman, and the group weaved through the rocky reefs in pursuit.

  It didn't take long, just a meal's worth of time, and in a place less than ten miles away from where the crowd had just killed the fish man, a battle was about to come to an end.

  Eight full heads of fish people who have all stepped into the Refining Bone Realm are besieging four disciples of the Heavenly Sacred Academy, among whom there are even those who have reached the Blood Sacrifice Realm and the Marrow Sacrifice Realm!

  On the reefs and on the surface of the sea, there were floating corpses and blood-stained clothes. The rocks and seawater had all been dyed red with fresh blood, and the smell of gore filled the air, a ghastly sight to behold.

  Eight-headed fisherman, with strength that surpasses several people, each one seemingly a giant, holding an iron anchor or coral as hard as iron from the seabed, swinging it with a whooshing sound, air bursting with each strike, each blow carrying a force of over a thousand kilograms.

  With a loud crash, the iron anchor swept across, directly smashing one of the disciples into a pulp.

  Blood splattered everywhere, and immediately the fish-like creatures dived down, sucking up the blood with their mouths wide open. Their faces and mouths were filled with thick, fresh blood, shredded flesh, and even their eyeballs were smeared with bloody pulp, looking ferocious like evil demons from hell.

  The remaining three disciples were instantly heartbroken and lost the thought of resisting, previously relying on a will to survive, struggling to hold on, now that this breath was scattered, they became lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Under the moonlight, blood splattered and flesh flew everywhere, the scene was like a hell on earth, extremely tragic.

  Far away from this scene, Qin Yi's face was frosty, Wu Peng and others tightly grasped the weapons in their hands, their lips almost biting out blood.

  "These damned fish people, they actually dared to harm the disciples of our Tian Sheng College." Zhao Jing Sheng was extremely furious, his voice trembling with rage.

  Those merfolk at this moment are dropping their weapons and wrestling over the fresh flesh scattered all over the ground.

  "Brothers! Follow me up, kill them!" Qin Yi let out a low shout, shrinking his body to the size of an inch, and in the blink of an eye, he was already a hundred steps away.

  Wu Peng and others held weapons, with a murderous aura, closely following behind.

  Although there were only five people, at this moment, their momentum was no less than that of a thousand horses and ten thousand soldiers!

  A merman clutched a reef rock, licking the fresh blood on it like a madman, when he suddenly felt a black shadow approaching.

  The strong wind was piercing and biting, almost tearing apart its soul.

  The fisherman looked up in confusion, his turbid eyeballs containing a fist like thunder, like leopard claws, tearing through the air, making him feel terrified.

  The rock and the fish man's head were smashed by Qin Yi with one punch, blood and flesh formed a whirlpool in mid-air, and exploded with a loud bang.

  Qin Yi's arm sank into the fish man's body, his true energy boiling over like a thousand arrows firing at once, from inside to out, shooting the fish man's body full of holes, countless blood arrows bursting out, shaking the fish man's corpse ceaselessly.

  Bang!

  The true energy exploded, and the Fishman's broken body was torn into pieces, blown into an unknown number of fragments.

  A terrifying aura of a demon god was released from Qin Yi's body, like a violent storm, stunning the entire audience.
