Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 576 Water Ghost
The deeper you go into the Siren's World, the stronger the pressure and the more powerful the strange spiritual energy becomes.

The fish demons moved constantly, like a school of fish.

Fishmen and blue-skinned sirens live on special underwater islands.

The ancient river ruins are located on an island in the water.

Unlike fixed areas on land, these islands in the water are constantly moving, making them extremely difficult to find. Fortunately, the information provided by Tyrannical Blood is quite detailed.

Just as Zhou Leng was getting ready, before he could continue swimming, a group of martial artists appeared in the distance, fleeing in panic. They were wearing sharkskin diving suits and using freestyle swimming techniques to desperately paddle away.

There were fifteen or sixteen of these people, and behind them was a massive, dark army of sea monsters, numbering over a thousand.

Zhou Leng remembered that there was a "Demon Slayer Camp" trial in the Western Sea Demon City, so he secretly infiltrated the sea monster world to hunt down sea monsters.

I was supposed to go to the Demon Slayer Camp, but I've been so busy that I haven't been able to go yet.

Looking back now, I feel a little regretful.

Zhou Leng deactivated his transformation, swam to their vicinity, put the underwater microphone in his mouth, and loudly asked, "Are you from the Demon Slayer Camp?"

The innate martial artists who fled in panic either nodded or used their vocalization devices to transmit their voices.

"Run! We might not be able to escape. The enemy has many Grand Innate Realm experts who are using us as prey to train their ordinary Grand Innate Realm water demons!"

"You are... Bone Forging Innate Realm cultivators?"

True liquid, blood shock, bone and muscle forging, great innate ability.

Zhou Leng had only been forging his bones for about half a year, but now, mentioning it evokes a sense of profound change.

"Yes! You should leave now!"

Zhou Leng swam straight over.

Upon getting close, he said, "I'll cover your retreat, you all retreat."

"Huh?" The dozen or so people were stunned, staring at the masked man in front of them.

There were no expensive underwater combat suits, just close-fitting shorts, a hood, and a magic pouch.

There wasn't even an expensive underwater propulsion device.

Each of them has an underwater booster.

Just as they were about to persuade him, they saw the masked man begin to swim out. He was empty-handed, yet his speed far exceeded theirs, and even far surpassed that of many sea monsters.

shuh...

A dark shadow flashed by, so fast they couldn't believe it.

The fastest swimming fish underwater travels at about 40 meters per second.

Sirens possess underwater talents, but they still face strong seawater resistance. Under normal circumstances, the speed of an ordinary Great Innate Siren can only reach about 120 meters per second.

But the speed of the person in front of me is clearly over 150 meters per second.

Is it a human or a monster?

Before they could react, Zhou Leng charged into the swarm of sea monsters.

The sirens were overjoyed, and with shouts they charged forward.

A swift sailfish demon took the lead, its huge, sharp beak stabbing towards Zhou Leng.

Zhou Lengming clearly had little leverage in the water, yet he easily dodged it.

Just as the sailfish demon brushed past him, his right fist slammed straight out.

boom!
The seawater burst open, and countless white bubbles churned.

The seawater near Zhou Leng's right fist instantly boiled.

With a single punch, the energy transfer in the underwater environment is minimally lost, and the bubble pulsation effect maximizes the power.

Before Zhou Leng's right fist could even touch the sailfish demon's body, the seawater in front of him formed a terrifying jet and impact.

The sailfish demon, which was nearly twenty meters long, exploded in two instantly, and blood filled the air.

Its huge fish eyes stared out as it slowly rolled over, belly up.

Their pale blue bodies, like two tattered rags, drifted further and further away in the water.

"A master!" The trial participants of the Demon Slayer Camp immediately understood.

"Thank you so much, expert!"

The trial participants fled for a while, hesitated, discussed it, and decided that they couldn't let the experts fight alone, so they swam back.

Then, they saw an unbelievable scene.

Even the siren would find it hard to believe.

A human, with a speed and agility surpassing even that of a primordial sea monster, wreaked havoc among the fish.

With a single punch, the seawater trembled, bubbles churned, and no fish could withstand his direct, powerful blow.

This person didn't use any special moves, just a simple punch, and the surrounding seawater seemed to obey his commands like soldiers, cooperating with his offense and defense.

All water-based spells become extremely weak when they get close, and most of them dissipate immediately.

Those trial participants originally wanted to help, but in the end they could only watch helplessly as Zhou Leng slaughtered everyone in his path.

At first, there were only bone-forged sirens, then muscle-bound sirens appeared.

Finally, the three-headed Great Primordial Fish Demon made his move while cursing.

A turtle demon, a sailfish demon, and a blue-skinned sea monster.

The Great Innate Fish Demon is indeed extraordinary.

An ordinary fish demon couldn't withstand a single punch from Zhou Leng.

Those three are much more powerful.

With one punch, the seawater churned, his body tumbled, and he instantly lost consciousness.

Two punches later, his body shattered.

Three punches, and he's dead.

Zhou Leng collected the fish meat from the turtle demon and the sailfish demon, and tore the blue-skinned sea monster in half.

The fish scattered and fled frantically in all directions.

Before the group of demon-slaying warriors could say anything, the expert disappeared from sight and could no longer be found.

"This guy is amazing! Even grandmasters can't be this relaxed and at ease underwater."

"This person should be a Grandmaster."

"No way."

"This person didn't use any internal energy from beginning to end. To be able to reach this level in the water using only his physical body, he must be at least a Grandmaster."

“That’s right. Even a Grandmaster with high-level internal energy can have this kind of destructive power without using true energy, but they can’t be this agile.”

"Let's go, it must be some grandmaster passing by." "Unfortunately, we didn't kill that murloc leader. The spell mark is still there, so the trial failed."

"There's nothing we can do, we're just too unlucky."

As they talked, they swam outwards.

After chasing the sea monsters for a while, Zhou Leng continued swimming in the water according to the map.

Not long after they swam, a giant shadow, a kilometer long, approached.

Upon closer inspection, it is an island in the water, resembling a giant whale in the ocean, slowly moving with the ocean currents.

On the island, some fish-people live.

Zhou Leng had some knowledge of sea monsters. Sea monsters on small islands were generally at the innate level, while grandmaster sea monsters often lived in larger places.

Zhou Leng had wanted to enter the world of sirens since he was a child, and he hadn't had enough of killing just now, so he rushed straight towards the island in the water.

Of the more than a thousand fishmen, the strongest was only a Great Innate Realm cultivator.

Before long, Zhou Leng slaughtered all the fishmen, took away a large amount of pearls, gems and other sirens' specialties from the fishmen's treasure vault, and continued on his way.

Zhou Leng continued his journey, and upon encountering a sea monster, he killed it without hesitation.

They traveled and killed their way through the land.

If you walk the dark road too often, you'll eventually run into a ghost.

On the twelfth day, after slaying a group of three thousand fish, Zhou Leng continued onward. Unexpectedly, the remaining fish encountered three sea monster masters.

The three siren masters were furious when they learned that humans had ventured deep into the siren world, and they headed straight for Zhou Leng.

One of them was a high-ranking Grandmaster Sea Demon.

The three-headed siren master traveled at near-sonic speed underwater and soon spotted Zhou Leng in the distance.

"Human boy, stay here!"

The senior master spoke broken Mandarin.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Leng turned around abruptly and saw three enormous sea monsters charging towards him, resembling three towering mountains in the sea, with white trails flowing behind them.

Zhou Leng stayed in the water and silently activated the translation function of the underwater speaker.

Then, turn on the Demonic Wristwatch, find the photo of the Blood of Tyranny, and play it aloud.

The blurry image of the tyrannical blood was like a sharp sword, causing the three grandmasters to instantly stop their fins and stare blankly at Zhou Leng.

"I am a special envoy under the command of the great tyrannical bloodline, lurking among humans. What kind of demons are you?"

The three siren masters' expressions changed slightly.

"What evidence do you have?" the siren master asked.

Zhou Leng unleashed the Martial Spirit of Brutality, read the words aloud, and showed them to the others.

The high-ranking master also possessed a magical artifact, and after translating, he still hesitated.

So, Zhou Leng opened the Bloodthirsty Blood's WeChat Moments and recited poems.

After reciting only one and a half poems, the three siren masters looked at each other, turned around and swam away without saying a word, not even asking why they killed the siren.

What reason would it take for someone with the tyrannical bloodline to kill a siren?
The three masters swam to a distance and began to complain.

"What bad luck to have a subordinate with a tyrannical bloodline."

"Forget it, I can't afford to offend them."

"The way he reads poetry is just like the Blood of Tyranny. That person is definitely a lackey of the Blood of Tyranny, and he comes from the Siren Ancient Poetry Guard. Ordinary people can't fake it."

"I really can't stand it anymore. I don't want to endure one of the three great tortures of the siren."

"If you swim too much in the undercurrents, you'll eventually encounter a water ghost."

Zhou Leng traveled, killed, and plundered the sea monsters' wealth along the way.

No wonder I always heard that the Zhao family and the sea monsters were secretly trading together. Along the way, their average daily profit exceeded one hundred million.

Occasionally, when encountering a siren master, he would simply use his tyrannical blood as a shield.

The siren masters weren't fools. At first, they were all skeptical, but as soon as Zhou Leng started reciting poetry, they all reacted the same way: they turned around and swam away.

Zhou Leng later discovered the pattern. When he encountered a master again, he would reveal his identity, recite a poem, and the master would simply leave.

Later, Zhou Leng captured a sea monster and learned the truth from it.

Two years ago, a siren master insulted Tyrannical Blood's poems, openly criticizing them as fish excrement, saying that listening to his poems was equivalent to enduring one of the three great tortures of the siren.

Not long after, the Blood of Tyranny slaughtered his entire clan and then took him away.

Six months later, the siren master reappeared, but he had gone mad.

He cannot speak and has lost his mind, but he can recite the poems of the Blood of Tyranny in the original, untranslated, and perfectly in the Dragon Kingdom language.

He swam wherever he went, reciting his lessons as he wandered among the various races of the Siren world.

He didn't care what others did; he only recited poems.

But if anyone mocks his poems, he will suddenly attack and go on a killing spree.

After the killing, he acted as if nothing had happened, reciting poems of tyrannical blood.

He became the most successful warning of the tyrannical blood.

From then on, no one dared to criticize the poems of the Blood of Tyranny.

He named the most elite guard of the Tyrannical Blood the Ancient Poetry Guard.

After hearing this, Zhou Leng slapped the captured sea monster to death.

"Tyrannical Blood really is a lunatic. It's right to stay away from him as much as possible... Just to be safe, I'll memorize a few of his poems..."

After a series of close calls, we finally arrived at the island in the water on the map of Tyrannical Blood.

Once ashore, Zhou Leng searched among the seaweed-covered islands.

Before long, we found the entrance marked on the map.

Tyrannical Blood said that he had covered this intersection with a thick layer of seaweed.

But now, a large amount of seaweed has been torn off, revealing a corner of the entrance.

After pondering for a long time, Zhou Leng swam into the passage and traveled for dozens of meters in the narrow passage before a faint light appeared ahead.

Reach out and try to touch it.

Whoosh!
It was sucked in by a tremendous force.

Zhou Leng found himself in an abandoned square, his vision blurring between darkness and light.

The square collapsed, buildings crumbled, and weeds grew on the ground.

Not far away, a group of sirens all looked over.
