High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

After surviving the tribulation, Chen Yuan returned to his residence.

Although his appearance had returned to normal, the tingling sensation from being tempered by lightning still flowed in his blood, making him feel incredibly comfortable.

"Cool!"

He stretched.

The Celestial Robe transformed back into clothing, and with the Spirit Gathering Pearl hanging from his waist, he walked to the side hall of the main hall and sat down.

Zhao Wenyuan quickly served hot tea.

"Sir, you made quite a commotion just now! We felt it even inside the manor, and the entire Dragon Abyss Mountain was shaking!"

Chen Yuan smiled.

"Just stretching my muscles."

The torrential rain had stopped due to the influence of the ninth-tier thunder fruit, and the dark clouds gradually dispersed, revealing a corner of the starry sky.

immediately.

Upon seeing Chen Yuan return, the shadowy figure that had flown back onto his shoulder suddenly yawned.

"Boss, what's for dinner?"

Chen Yuan glanced at it.

"Didn't you just eat?"

The shadowy figure licked its lips.

"That's afternoon tea; we haven't had dinner yet."

Chen Yuan shook his head; this guy's stomach was a bottomless pit.

But after raising them for so long, he's gotten used to it. Anyway, with his current financial situation, he could easily afford to raise a few more Shadows.

He casually put the 100,000 spirit crystals that Lin Wei had personally delivered during this period into his infinite storage space and said.

"Okay, I'll take you to Luodu City for a meal later."

Shadow's eyes lit up.

"Long live the boss!"

......

at the same time.

The East China Sea of ​​the Great Xia Kingdom.

About 300 kilometers from the coastline, a huge chasm is suspended in the air above the sea.

The crack is irregularly shaped, about 100 meters long and several hundred meters wide, with its edges shimmering with an eerie blue light.

A dense, otherworldly aura continuously poured out from the cracks, mixing with the mist on the sea surface to form an eerie, misty area.

This is the large cave that appeared three days ago.

The Dragon Warriors named it "Raging Waves Cave".

At this moment, a fierce battle is taking place below the Angry Wave Cave.

Countless corpses, both human and alien, floated on the sea.

Blood stained a large area of ​​the sea, turning an eerie dark red under the moonlight.

Human defenses were built on several islands about ten kilometers away from the Heavenly Cave.

These islands were originally deserted, but in the past three days, the Longwu Division's naval engineering team worked day and night to build temporary fortresses, gun emplacements, and defensive formations on them.

Flames soared into the sky above the defense line.

Countless warrior armies are engaged in fierce battle with alien races emerging from the sea.

Those alien races were called the "Sea People".

They come in all sorts of strange shapes; some look like fish-men, some like shrimp and crab spirits, and some like a combination of an octopus and a human.

But what they have in common is that they all come from the sea.

Sea creatures generally have stronger physical bodies than human martial artists, especially in terms of defense. At the same level, it is very difficult for human martial artists to break through the scales of sea creatures.

But humans have formations, firearms, and teamwork.

at this time.

The island's gun emplacements were spewing fire wildly, and large-caliber armor-piercing shells exploded among the sea creature army, each one taking the lives of several sea creatures.

The warrior army relied on defensive fortifications to engage in close combat with the sea creatures that rushed close.

Swords clashed and cries of battle shook the heavens.

In the sky above the most intense area of ​​the battlefield, two figures are colliding violently!

Each collision unleashed a terrifying shockwave, blasting the seawater below into giant waves tens of meters high!

One of the figures had his beard and hair standing on end, and he held a blue longsword. Every time he swung his sword, a sharp sword aura tore through the sky!

It was Lin Zuyao!

His opponent was a massive, early-stage ninth-tier sea creature.

The sea creature resembled a giant, upright-walking shrimp, covered in a dark red shell, with its two enormous pincers waving with a whooshing sound.

This ninth-tier sea creature is currently in very poor condition.

The carapace was covered with sword marks, and blue blood kept seeping from the wounds.

One eye was blinded by the sword energy, leaving only a bloody hole.

His breathing was disordered, and he looked utterly disheveled.

On the other hand, although Lin Zuyao was also a little out of breath, his momentum was high and he became more and more courageous as he fought!

"You beast! Today is your death day!"

With a roar, Lin Zuyao unleashed his cyan sword, which transformed into countless sword shadows that enveloped the sea creatures!

The sea creature brandished its pincers and desperately tried to defend itself, but the wounds on its body continued to multiply.

Suddenly it crossed its pincers and let out a piercing hiss!

hum...

A strange power erupted from it!

Lin Zuyao's expression changed, and he retreated rapidly!

But the force was too fast, and it struck him instantly!

"snort!"

Lin Zuyao groaned as he was forced back hundreds of meters, his blood and qi churning within him!

Once he regained his footing, he saw that the sea creature had already turned and fled towards the direction of the Raging Wave Cave!

"Humans! I will remember this grudge!"

As the sea creature fled, it turned back and roared, its voice filled with resentment and venom!

"Once I recover from my injuries, I will raze the coast of your Great Xia to the ground! I will ensure you never have peace again!"

It was covered in blood, blind in one eye, and its shell was full of cracks. It staggered as it fled, looking like it might fall from the sky at any moment.

He looked extremely disheveled.

Lin Zuyao watched the figure about to disappear back into the Heavenly Cave, his heart filled with intense struggle.

If you let it escape back, it will be difficult to kill it again!

The interior of the Heavenly Cave is dominated by alien races. In some Heavenly Caves, human martial artists are even suppressed upon entering. The Raging Waves Heavenly Cave is one such example.

Moreover, once it hides deep within the cave, it becomes impossible to find!

But......

Suddenly, the scene of Chen Yuan in the Netherworld Cave a few days ago flashed into Lin Zuyao's mind.

He crippled the Netherworld Demon Lord, a peak ninth-tier demon, with a single punch, and killed him with a few shots!

And Chen Tianling and his group stormed into the Heavenly Cave and slaughtered all the alien races!

The scene, the momentum...

Thinking of this, Lin Zuyao felt a surge of passion.

He, Lin Zuyao, is also a martial arts saint!

Why should we only watch as Chief Chen and his colleagues make contributions?

The sea creature before us is already severely injured, and the battle report from the Dragon Martial Division clearly states that only the aura of this ninth-tier alien race has been detected inside the Raging Waves Heavenly Cave.

Even if there are other, stronger beings, they are probably being restricted by something and unable to act!

It's done!

Lin Zuyao gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes!

"Trying to escape? Don't even think about it!"

He raised his wrist and quickly gave the order into the communication ring:

"I am temporarily transferring command to Deputy Commander Han Wanli! Everyone, hold the line and await my slaying of this fiend!"

A hurried voice came from the other end of the communication ring:

"Elder Lin! We must not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Zuyao had already turned off the communication.

He gripped his cyan longsword tightly, and with a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and chased after the sea creature!

In front.

The "severely injured" sea creature noticed the figure chasing behind it and a strange smile appeared on its lips.

The smile vanished in an instant, and given its blood-soaked and wretched appearance, no one noticed it.

It staggered and crawled into the crack in the sky.

Lin Zuyao followed closely behind and plunged in as well!

......

Inside the Heavenly Cave.

This is a gray and hazy world.

The sky was an eerie dark blue, and beneath my feet lay an endless expanse of sea.

The seawater was dark black and emitted a faint, putrid smell.

Occasionally, huge skeletons rise from the water, the remains of some unknown creature.

As soon as Lin Zuyao entered, he felt a suffocating aura enveloping his entire body. The otherworldly rules inside the Heavenly Cave did indeed suppress human martial artists.

But he was prepared.

As the spiritual energy within his body circulated, the oppressive feeling immediately lessened considerably.

"Where did that beast go?"

Lin Zuyao scanned his surroundings and quickly spotted a disheveled figure fleeing on the sea ahead.

It was that ninth-tier sea creature!

It fled slowly, staggering, looking as if it might collapse at any moment.

A hint of excitement flashed in Lin Zuyao's eyes.

"Chase!"

He shot out and chased after that figure!

The distance is getting closer and closer.

500 meters.

Three hundred meters.

One hundred meters.

Fifty meters!

Lin Zuyao gripped his longsword tightly, his spiritual energy surging wildly within him!

This sword will kill it!

Just as he was about to make his move.

The fleeing sea creature suddenly stopped.

It turned around, and the disheveled expression on its face had completely disappeared, replaced by a strange smile.

His injuries are healing rapidly.

His blinded eyes grew back, the cracks on his carapace disappeared rapidly, and his aura began to surge!

His voice was hoarse and harsh.

"Human, you really did manage to catch up."

"You...you're faking your injuries! And your true cultivation level isn't even at the early stage of the ninth rank?!" A sense of alarm suddenly rose in Lin Zuyao's mind!

But it was too late.

........

Outside the Heavenly Cave.

The fighting continues on the island's defense line.

Deputy Commander Zhou Haishan is directing his troops to repel the attack of the dense sea creature army.

Several hours later.

A flash of light suddenly appeared at the crack in the Heavenly Cave!

A blood-covered figure burst out from inside and then plummeted straight into the sea!

"Elder Lin!"

Zhou Haishan's pupils suddenly contracted!

He flashed out and caught the figure in mid-air!

Lin Zuyao was covered in blood.

Its breath was extremely faint.

He had several deep wounds on his body that exposed bone, his left arm was twisted at an odd angle, and there was a bloody hole in his chest from which blood was gushing out.

If it weren't for the ninth-grade mid-level "Healing Pill" that Chen Yuan had given him during his visit, which kept him alive, he would probably have perished by now.

Zhou Haishan's heart sank.

"Elder Lin! Elder Lin!"

Lin Zuyao opened his eyes with difficulty, and his lips moved slightly.

"Withdraw...withdraw to the second line of defense...quickly..."

After saying that, his head lolled to the side and he fainted.

Zhou Haishan felt a chill run through his body.

He looked up at the crack in the sky.

A terrifying figure could be vaguely seen approaching from inside!

"Retreat! Abandon the first line of defense! Retreat to the second line of defense!"

He gave the order at the top of his lungs!

The voice just fell.

The true cultivation level of that sea creature at the crack in the Heavenly Cave was actually that of a mid-stage ninth-order sea race member!

It looked down at the panicked and fleeing human army below, a cruel smile curling at the corner of its mouth.

"kill."

boom!!!

More sea creatures surged out like a tide, and the once-solid defense line collapsed instantly!

......

late at night.

Longyuan Mountain, the Holy Venerable's Residence.

Chen Yuan didn't plan to sleep today; he was preparing to take Youying to Luodu City to stroll around and enjoy the nightlife.

He suddenly stopped at the entrance of the mansion.

The Holy Decree at his waist vibrated.

One, two, three, four, five.

Fifth!

Urgent message!

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow and picked up the Holy Venerable Token to examine it.

A light screen popped up, displaying an urgent battle report from the Dragon Martial Division to all the elders.

Chen Yuan's gaze swept over the area, and his brows immediately furrowed.

"Urgent Battle Report: Battle Situation at the East China Sea's Raging Waves and Heavenly Cave!"

"Elder Lin Zuyao, the thirteenth elder, underestimated the enemy and acted rashly. He was lured into the Heavenly Cave by the alien race and encountered an ambush by a ninth-level alien race."

"The Thirteenth Elder escaped with serious injuries and has been sent to the rear base for emergency treatment. He is not in immediate danger, but he is no longer able to fight."

"Due to the serious injury of the thirteenth elder, the first line of defense collapsed. Our martial arts army and naval forces suffered heavy casualties. The initial estimate is that the number of dead exceeded six thousand, and the number of wounded was countless."

"Current battle situation: The sea creature army has occupied the island of the first line of defense and is advancing towards the second line of defense."

"Sixth Elder Ning Yutang, who is currently stationed at Bibo Tianku in the East China Sea region, has been urgently dispatched to provide support. He is expected to arrive within an hour."

"Elders, please remain vigilant. If you encounter this situation again, do not underestimate the enemy or act rashly..."

After reading the battle report, Chen Yuan remained silent for a moment.

The shadowy figure on the shoulder peeked out and saw the contents of the light screen.

Its eyes widened.

"This... Old Man Lin was far too careless!"

Chen Yuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

He underestimated the enemy and advanced recklessly, was lured by the alien race, ambushed, and escaped with serious injuries.

The defensive line collapsed, and more than 6,000 people were killed... those were precious lives!

This happened in just a few days.

Chen Yuan shook his head.

"So eager to make a name for himself..."

He understood Lin Zuyao's feelings.

Having just broken through to the Martial Saint realm, he was full of vigor and high spirits. Seeing him wreaking havoc in the Netherworld Cave, he also wanted to make a great contribution and show his strength.

As a result, he was outmaneuvered by that alien pretending to be Tang.
