How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Hong Li raised an eyebrow as she looked at the storage bag hanging on Han Liu's body. Inside was only a spirit stone. After activating it, Hei Xiaolong's anxious voice came from inside.

"Quick, quick, Master can't hold on any longer!"

"..."

Infuse spiritual energy again.

"Quick, quick, Master can't hold on any longer!"

"call……"

Hong Li let out a long breath and glanced to the upper right. A strange-looking creature was rushing towards her.

"I'm not familiar with this one."

With a flick of the spear, it pierced through him.

Hong Li raised an eyebrow: "So, there really are creatures whose blood is green?"

Looking into the distant mist, the Unwavering Divine Power caused his eyes to gleam with a faint red light. With a single glance, he not only saw through the mist and the dark clouds in the distance, but also saw through the very essence of the mist.

Superpower: Deep Sea Fear

Quality: blue

Effect: Envelops the area in mist, isolating the senses of cultivators at the Golden Core stage and below. The effect is greatly enhanced when the area is above the ocean.

Synopsis: The rising mist from the sea swallows the lighthouse's glow.

"And this still won't let me come sooner..."

Hongli shook her head, turned and went into the cabin: "Elder Yao, there's a little flying fish over here..."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 209 You say there are undercurrents of conspiracy and intrigue, but why do they keep trying to take advantage of the protagonist...?

On the sea, a giant ice floe floated, and disciples of the Five Elements Sect stood on it, looking solemnly ahead.

On the ice behind them lay their fellow disciples, who were unable to move, receiving basic first aid to ensure they wouldn't die from excessive blood loss.

As for healing or stamina-replenishing pills, they are only used to keep someone going when they are really about to give up.

Most of the pills are prioritized for use by disciples who are still able to fight, since they are now the backbone of the entire team.

Beneath the ice layer was also solid, filled with countless sea monsters that resembled both humans and fish, attempting to break through the ice from below and breach the defenses.

Before they could even react, the rapidly spreading ice froze them inside, taking their lives.

Around the ice layer, there are ice walls that are hundreds of meters high, resisting the invasion from all directions.

Of course, the sea monsters' attacks couldn't be so scattered; they must have had a focus, which was the area that the Five Elements Sect disciples were focusing their defenses on.

Hei Xiaolong stood at the forefront, watching the sea monsters swarm onto the ice and instantly freeze to pieces, and couldn't help but frown.

Of course, not all sea monsters are cultivators; in fact, most sea monsters are not as physically strong as humans in the Body Tempering Realm.

In battles of lower to mid-level difficulty, their only advantage is their numbers.

In the hands of elite disciples like Hei Xiaolong, a large number of them could be wiped out with a wave of their hand.

But it is precisely this enormous number that has kept them here, unable to focus on anything else.

To be honest, Hei Xiaolong had never seen such a brutal scene before: the sheer number of lives sacrificed to build up the enemy was something he had only heard of in ancient war stories.

If he had just arrived here, he might have been panicked and at a loss in the face of this situation.

But after these days of trials, he was finally able to treat these sea monsters with a normal mindset.

However, deep in his eyes, there was still a profound anxiety and worry.

I don't know if the cold wave will be able to return to the sect safely, nor do I know if the message requesting support will be able to get back, and even if it is, whether the sect will send reinforcements, and whether the reinforcements will arrive in time...

What was supposed to be a simple exploration of ruins has turned into this...

Hei Xiaolong looked at the dark clouds in the distance, from which came waves of terrifying energy that sent chills down his spine.

He knew that was the real main battlefield, the key to whether they could return alive.

but……

Even when faced with an insurmountable enemy, Hei Xiaolong has no intention of simply resigning himself to fate.

Not only them, but even the disciples of the Rolling Wave Sect in the distance were fighting with all their might, riding the waves.

However, they were unwilling to cooperate with the disciples of the Five Elements Sect. Perhaps in their view, the disciples of the Five Elements Sect would not only be unable to help, but would also become a hidden danger.

It is an undeniable fact that the disciples of the Rolling Wave Sect can exert more strength on the ocean than most Five Elements Sect cultivators of the same level.

Watching them nimbly weave through the waves, each one more like a siren than the last…

A disciple of the Rolling Wave Sect sneered, slammed his hands together, and the surrounding seawater seemed to solidify, forming walls of water that pressed towards the large group of sea monsters in the center!

"Boom!"

After the water walls collided, they exploded into waves, which then transformed back into invisible seawater.

However, those sea monsters that could withstand even the pressure of deep water were squeezed into meat patties by this wall of water.

The disciple of the Rolling Wave Sect smiled smugly, when a giant shark leaped out from behind him and swallowed him whole.

The giant shark also turned into seawater and disappeared, leaving behind patches of blood that spread outwards.

A powerful sea monster looked at the disciple of the Rolling Wave Sect whom he had successfully ambushed, smiled smugly, and then had his head pierced by a water arrow.

Hei Xiaolong: "..."

Taking a deep breath, Hei Xiaolong looked behind him, where his senior brothers and sisters, each with a determined expression, nodded in agreement.

With them covering for each other, they would definitely not let their fellow disciple be injured by an attack that appeared out of nowhere.

"..."

At the very back, the Earth Tribe disciples clung to the ice, quickly creating a path away from the battlefield.

Behind them, wounded fellow disciples were being dragged along by huge straw beds, following closely behind.

"Whoosh!"

Clusters of flames exploded, reddening the faces of the fire disciples while also frantically scorching and devouring the surrounding thick fog.

They discovered that the fog seemed to only block perception and was not inherently aggressive.

Roads at sea were being rapidly opened up.

"Hurry up, those behind, catch up."

"Lift them together, but don't jostle too much, or it will worsen the wounds."

"What are you, a member of the Fire Department, doing loitering around in the back? Go ahead and scout ahead!"

"That's enough, that's enough. Tell Xiaolong and the others to retreat again."

"..."

"Have we gotten quite a distance from the battlefield again...?"

Hei Xiaolong took a deep breath and shouted, "Everyone, get ready!"

"boom!"

The massive ice layer suddenly burst open, transforming into countless ice spikes that pierced towards the charging sea monsters, exploding into clusters of blood.

"kill!"

One of the Gold Department disciples raised his hand, and a dozen or so Gold Department disciples raised their arms. A sharp silver light flashed, and they gathered into a silver-white tiger phantom, which rushed towards the sea monster in close succession!

The seawater mixed with blood, and the seemingly endless swarm of sea monsters was instantly wiped out.

After all, this is a world of cultivation. No matter how many mortals there are, if they cannot be truly utilized, a powerful cultivator can wipe them all out with a single area-of-effect skill.

Unfortunately, although the disciples of the Jin tribe launched a swift attack, the power of their attack was far from enough to annihilate the sea monsters.

Soon, the cleared sea area was once again crowded with countless sea monsters, causing the Five Elements Sect disciples to curse inwardly. Had these guys come out in full force?

Taking advantage of the time it took for the sea monsters to regroup, Hei Xiaolong and a group of Five Elements Sect disciples quickly retreated, covering more than ten miles in the blink of an eye, before turning around again.

The water department disciples, who had been waiting in ambush, made hand seals, and a giant wave hundreds of meters high suddenly rose up.

Crimson vines swam across the water's surface, strangling and killing countless sea monsters while simultaneously draining their life force.

The disciples of the Wood Department withdrew the vines, their originally cold gazes softening as they looked at Hei Xiaolong. They raised their hands, and strands of green vines pierced into Hei Xiaolong's back.

The immense energy nearly burst Hei Xiaolong apart, but he already had a way to release it.

Hei Xiaolong stretched out his right arm, pressed his left hand tightly against his right arm, and his eyes flashed with a light blue light.

Earth-level supernatural power: Glacial Heavy Water!

In an instant, the ice spread, freezing not only the giant waves stirred up by the water disciples into thick ice walls, but also condensing countless sea monsters in front of them.

"Click, click..."

The sirens struggled frantically.

However, the rate at which the ice breaks apart is far slower than the rate at which it freezes.
