Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1354

While the million-strong Imperial Guards of the Han Dynasty were locked in fierce battle with tens of millions of golden tuna demons, Liu Fuxing's sons Liu Fujin, Liu Fusheng, Liu Fuzhao, Liu Fuxing, Liu Futian, and Liu Fujiang, and his daughters Liu Fuxin, Liu Fuyue, and Liu Fujing, were all restless and urged their father, Emperor Liu Changxu, to volunteer for the battle.

"Your son requests permission to fight; I humbly beg Your Majesty to grant it!"

Liu Changxu, with a broad smile, instructed:
"Go, but be careful and don't let your guard down!"

"My child obeys!"

After receiving his father's approval, Liu Fujin led his younger siblings to charge towards the swarm of tuna demons.

Because Liu Fujin and his companions possessed cultivation levels far exceeding those of ordinary Imperial Guards, they displayed terrifying and irresistible strength the moment they stepped onto the battlefield, causing large numbers of tuna demons to perish at their hands.

Looking at his sons and daughters fighting fiercely at sea, Liu Changxu did not show much joy on his face.

In his view, his children's cultivation levels ranged from the lowest, with the lowest being the Nascent Soul stage and the highest, even reaching the Void Refining stage. It was only natural that they would achieve such results in dealing with these second and third-tier fish demons.

Although he did not attach great importance to the war, he paid close attention to his children's performance on the battlefield.

If Liu Changxu noticed anything unsatisfactory about his children, he would silently keep it in mind, intending to point it out to them one by one after the battle was over.

However, since the individual strength of the tuna demons was generally not strong, Liu Changxu did not find many obvious problems in his children.

In stark contrast to Liu Changxu's attitude, the mothers of these children were more worried about their children's safety. When they saw their children being attacked by fish demons, they even wished they could personally join the battle to protect their children.

Because the number of tuna monsters was so large, the battle lasted for a full day and night before it came to an end.

The vast majority of the tuna demons were killed by the Imperial Guards, with only a small number managing to escape. Countless tuna demon corpses floated on the sea.

In order to win this victory, the Imperial Guards paid a heavy price. More than 3,000 Imperial Guards soldiers died heroically, and the number of wounded was as high as 70,000 to 80,000.

The main reason for such heavy casualties was that there were simply too many tuna monsters.

If these fish demons were any stronger individually, the Imperial Guards would likely have suffered even greater losses.

Despite the heavy losses in this battle, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard still regarded it as a major victory and cheered for it.

The flesh of the tuna demon is extremely delicious and contains rich spiritual energy. Cultivators often eat tuna meat to enhance their qi, blood, and magical power, hence its price is very high.

This battle resulted in the slaying of a considerable number of tuna demons, which was a substantial fortune for Da Han Xian.

After the battle, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard began to collect the corpses of the tuna demons on the sea and put them into the inner space of the Ruyi Escape Shuttle, which was specially used to refrigerate the corpses of demons.

However, because so many tuna demons were killed this time, even the inner space, which had a large area, was quickly filled.

Seeing this, Liu Changxu simply ordered that the tuna demon corpses that could not be contained be distributed as rewards to the Imperial Guard soldiers who participated in the battle.

The soldiers of the Imperial Guards naturally supported the Emperor's decision, and the morale of the soldiers who received the rewards was immediately boosted.

After distributing the spoils, Liu Changxu piloted the Ruyi Sky-Escape Shuttle, carrying the Imperial Guards, and once again ventured into the depths of the Boundless Sea. Utilizing the powerful seabed detection capabilities of the Ocean Mirror, Liu Changxu soon discovered a seventh-tier top-grade Azure Lobster lurking tens of thousands of feet below the seabed.

Seeing that it was a seemingly weak lobster, Zhao Qi'er volunteered first:

"Your Majesty, please leave this lobster demon to me!"

"Sure, but be extra careful!"

Liu Changxu said:
After receiving Liu Changxu's permission, she instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning and sped toward the lobster's hiding place.

The two sides quickly engaged in a fierce battle.

However, to everyone's surprise, this seventh-tier top-grade lobster was far more powerful than anyone imagined.

Even with all her might, Zhao Qier could only manage a draw with it, resulting in a stalemate where neither could gain the upper hand.

Seeing this, Yang Yuxuan, Su Yue'e, Zhao Qingxia, and Dong Xue all volunteered to fight alongside Liu Changxu, offering to help Zhao Qier kill the green lobster.

Liu Changxu smiled gently and said to the four women:

"Don't worry. I believe that Qi'er can definitely defeat that lobster with her own strength!"

In Liu Changxu's eyes, this seventh-tier top-grade lobster was an excellent opponent to hone Zhao Qier's skills. This time, he led his wife and children out to sea not only to hunt sea monsters, but more importantly, to train their cultivation and combat abilities.

As expected, as the battle progressed, Zhao Qi'er's advantage in spiritual treasures gradually became apparent, while the Azure Lobster's lack of supernatural abilities became evident, allowing Zhao Qi'er to gain the upper hand in the battle. Her offensive became increasingly fierce, and she eventually succeeded in killing the seventh-tier top-grade Azure Lobster.

However, the battle was exceptionally fierce, lasting from dawn until nightfall. The intense back-and-forth fighting even triggered a massive tsunami. Zhao Qi'er, the victor, was also injured in the process.

However, in Liu Changxu's view, compared to Zhao Qier's gains in this battle, this price was insignificant and entirely worthwhile.

This battle with the lobster not only allowed Zhao Qi'er to accumulate richer practical experience, but also significantly improved her understanding of supernatural powers and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Liu Changxu believed that as long as Zhao Qier could spar with more opponents of the same level in the future, she would soon be able to meet the requirements for breaking through to the Tribulation Stage.

Thus, the subsequent demon-hunting operation once again transformed into a journey of trials and tribulations for Liu Changxu's wife, children, and the Imperial Guards.

Whenever Liu Changxu discovers a high-level sea monster lurking in the seabed using the sea-penetrating mirror, he will arrange for his wife and children, whose strength is similar to that of the sea monster, to go and fight it.

Of course, if Liu Changxu were to detect a large group of sea monsters gathering, he would decisively send out the Imperial Guards to attack.

Thus, Liu Changxu led his wife, children, and a million Imperial Guard soldiers in a five-year-long demon-hunting operation deep in the Wuji Sea.

Despite the long duration of the operation, neither his wife and children nor the soldiers of the Imperial Guard grew tired of the demon-hunting mission.

There's no way around it; their gains from this demon-hunting operation were simply too great, yet the price they paid was minimal. How could this not fascinate everyone?
