The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 1039 Slaying Monsters

Zhao Chen "invested" in You Fei for two reasons. First, he noticed that the girl had met him twice by chance, and her name contained the character "Fei," which suggested a connection between them. Feeling a connection, he casually placed his bet.

Secondly, he had a vague feeling that the girl's luck was a bit abnormal, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong, so he left a mark as a way to "mark" it.

As for verifying the effect of "playing the role"? That's just an excuse... Zhao Chen, who has reached his current level in less than a year of cultivation, obviously doesn't think that the ladder of supernatural powers can hold him back for long.

Therefore, Zhao Chen quickly put the matter out of his mind...

Of course, he had no choice but to "throw" it, because the sea had indeed become quite dangerous. He had only been flying for an hour when he was attacked by two sea monsters.

Although the attacking monsters were not powerful, only equivalent to the "magic power" level, this was still far beyond the normal level.

After all, his flight route was a planned, normal route, and theoretically, he might not encounter an attack even after making a dozen or so round trips...

"No wonder the East China Sea Navy commander didn't have the energy to deal with the princess. How many monsters have slipped through?"

"Fortunately, there shouldn't be many truly powerful ones..."

When Zhao Chen expressed his feelings, he had already flown to Deer Island, the outermost island of Yingzhou.

At the speed of the "Crane Fairy," it would normally take less than half a day to reach the destination, but because of the constant attacks, the journey took a whole day. It wasn't until the sun was setting that he finally saw the coastline of Deer Island.

—This island is guarded by a "Commander of Soldiers," whose powerful military might deters any sea beasts or monsters from approaching.

After successfully landing on the island, Zhao Chen didn't rush to find a hotel to rest. After all, his last visit was rushed; he only had time to sample the local deer meat before going to "drink" with Danfei, and didn't have time to explore the scenery.

Speaking of which, because of its strategic location and unique economic products, Kashima was not controlled by any powerful clan or sect, but was directly governed by the outer sect of the Daoxian Sect, whose headquarters were located not far from the port area.

Zhao Chen deliberately avoided this area and, before it got completely dark, went to another county town on the island that was mainly for tourism. Along the way, he also enjoyed many gardens and buildings that were very different from those in the mainland of Great Xia.

Of course, it's also essential to investigate the prices of various commodities and goods.

However, just as he had chosen a hotel located on a high rock on the coast and was about to check in, he routinely used his divine sense to survey the surrounding environment when he suddenly noticed a slight fluctuation of magical power coming from a very distant point in the southwest sea.

Zhao Chen's heart stirred slightly, and he immediately extended his divine sense in that direction with all his might. As a result, he saw that the protective formation on the "Seeking Immortals" ship that he had once been on was broken by a humanoid monster that was at least twenty or thirty meters tall.

Because that location was off the course and outside the vigilance range of Kashima's "commander-in-chief," no one else noticed anything unusual.

If Zhao Chen's divine sense hadn't been stronger than that of other cultivators of the same level, and hadn't extended it as much as possible, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

We were in the same boat after all. If I hadn't seen it, that would have been fine. But since I encountered it, there was no reason for me to stand idly by.

Zhao Chen immediately transformed into the appearance of "Young Master Wang," and then used the "Myriad Manifestations" supernatural power to condense the highest achievement of the Wang family's branch technique "Ethereal Sword Song," the "Ethereal Formless Sword." He then merged with the sword, transforming into a streak of light and shooting towards the "Seeking Immortals"! Although sword escape is not suitable for traveling, its short burst speed is unparalleled, and only a very few supernatural powers can compare to it.

In particular, Zhao Chen's swordsmanship level far exceeded his own cultivation level, and he had mastered many top-notch sword techniques, so he arrived above the ship in an instant.

Meanwhile, although the monster attacking the "Seeking Immortals" had broken through the protective array, it still failed to capture Captain Bai Xue's "Cloud Peak Gale Palace"—even though the magnificent palace was now full of cracks and could collapse at any moment.

Seeing this, Zhao Chen did not hesitate at all. With a flash of his sword, a blood moon rose above the monster's head, illuminating it with wisps of crimson light.

This is his own modified version of the second move of the Falling Star Divine Sword Scripture, "Taiyin Erosion Realm," replacing "Black Moon" with "Blood Moon." Although the ability to deprive the five senses is weakened, it gains the power to deprive reason!

This monster is intelligent, not only because it is humanoid, but more importantly because of its deliberate act of keeping the "Seeking Immortals" outside the Kashima restricted area.

Compared to monsters with brains, it's obviously easier to deal with them by relying solely on instinct!
Furthermore, Zhao Chen had imbued the "Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True Ones" supernatural power into the "Moonlight," making it "voluntarily" go "mad" first as a sign of respect.

The monster was initially caught off guard and even felt the "moonlight" was close to it, but it quickly came to its senses and realized that danger was approaching. Its body suddenly lit up with light, and its hands spread out to form a red vortex. The center of the vortex spun faster and faster, and it even tried to absorb the moonlight of the "blood moon".

Even so, it did not "think" of attacking Zhao Chen, who had combined his body with the sword.

This also gave Zhao Chen the opportunity to continue casting spells at his leisure.

Suddenly, the light on the monster dimmed, as if it had been bound by something.

A supreme divine power, "Demon King's Binding"!
After probing that the monster's combat power was comparable to a high-grade divine ability, Zhao Chen naturally dared not be careless. Therefore, after using "Demon King Binding Body", he formed a sword array and added the amplification effect of "Starry Night Stop", completely trapping it inside.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Chen used his strongest killing sword move to date against the immobilized humanoid monster – "Yao Hua's Demise and Revelation of Glazed Glass".

This is a sword strike of "Tongfa". Even if it is launched with a fourth-grade divine flying sword, its power is extremely terrifying. In particular, Zhao Chen deliberately broke the balance of Yin and Yang contained within this sword strike, weakening "life" and strengthening the profound meaning of "destruction".

With this single sword strike, a crack first appeared on the monster's head, then spread downwards, slicing through its writhing, fascia-covered body. Countless tiny sword lights scattered and danced across its entire body, shredding its body, soul, magic power, and the source of power shining in its chest...

Without a sound, this colossal creature, tens of meters tall, turned to dust and merged into the ocean waves.

Although the sword's ultimate technique did leave it some chance of survival, and it itself possesses the characteristic of "immortality," it is unknown when it will be "resurrected."

After all, its tiny particles, once shattered, have been scattered by the seawater, and without external help, the chances of them "reuniting" by chance are extremely slim.

"It's a pity that the 'Double Dragon Scissors' are with the clone, otherwise there would be no need for such trouble."

With a sigh in his heart, Zhao Chen separated his body from the flying sword, his clothes fluttering as he descended into the air, step by step walking onto the "Seeking Immortals".
