Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 278 The Unlucky Demon Whale King

"Get out of the way!"

Ye Liangchen immediately shouted to Shui Bing'er and her group, otherwise they would all fall into the sea if they were hit by the water column.

"Swish..."

Shui Bing'er, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others flapped their wings rapidly to avoid the water columns while increasing their flight altitude.

The Demon Whale King is 200 meters long, so large that its reaction speed cannot keep up with the speed of the group's flight. It has to go around in a big circle to turn around.

"Humans, don't think that just because you have the ability to fly, you can escape this sea."

"Huff huff..."

Frustrated by his missed attack, the Demon Whale King opened its mouth wide, took another deep breath of seawater, and began to gather its strength, preparing to spray a second jet of water.

"Sister Yue'er, the Vast Ocean Protective Shield."

"Dragon Abyss Boat, here we come."

Ye Liangchen transmitted his voice to Shui Yue'er to activate the defensive skill of the Heart of the Sea God, and at the same time handed the Dragon Abyss Boat over to her.

"Everyone, come closer and hold hands."

Shui Yue'er immediately used her spiritual power to summon the Heart of the Sea God, inputting soul power to activate the Vast Ocean Protective Shield.

"Buzzing..."

The Vast Ocean Universe Cover emitted a tremendous blue light, enveloping Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, and their group before falling into the sea and disappearing from sight.

Seeing that Shui Yue'er and the others were safe, Ye Liangchen decided to lure the big fish away from this area, otherwise Shui Bing'er and her group would not be able to leave this sea area in the Dragon Abyss Boat.

"That's the aura of the sea god."

The blue light emitted by the Vast Ocean Universe Cover attracted the attention of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"Demon Whale King, do you still want to eat us now?" Ye Liangchen stood in the air, looking at the big, clumsy fish on the sea surface with a provocative expression.

"So what? Do you think your companions can escape these waters? After I devour your companion, I might even achieve the position of Demon God."

"Splash... splash..."

"Bang bang..."

The Demon Whale King used its enormous body to churn the seas, trying to force out the people hidden within the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

"Ouch! What happened?"

"It feels like the seawater is shaking."

When the Demon Whale King stirred up the seawater, the people hiding in the seabed were not having a good time. Although they were protected by the Vast Ocean Universe Shield and would not be injured, the powerful currents made them sway very uncomfortable.

"I wonder how little Chen is doing?" Shui Yue'er was very worried about Ye Liangchen's safety as she manipulated the defensive skill of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

"With Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena still by Brother Ye's side, can he still fly?"

"No, I have to go out and help Brother Ye."

Jin Ling'er was very anxious and kept saying she wanted to go out and help.

"That's right! Let's go out and help too. The more people there are, the more strength we'll have." Feng Xiaotian, Jin Yue'er, and the others couldn't sit still any longer.

"Calm down, everyone. If we go out, we'll only be a hindrance to him. He's staying up there to distract the Demon Whale King."

"He has a soul tool that can hold living people, so there's no need to worry about him not being able to fly."

Shui Bing'er suppressed the crowd's impulse, then took the Dragon Abyss Boat from Shui Yue'er's hand and used her soul power to activate it, making it larger.

"Everyone come in and get ready."

"Moon, hold on, otherwise the Dragon Abyss Boat might not be able to withstand the onslaught of the waves."

Shui Bing'er instructed everyone to board the Dragon Abyss Boat, ready to go out and search for Ye Liangchen at any time.

"Sister! Don't worry! The Vast Ocean Protective Shield skill only requires 10% of my soul power to last for 12 hours." Shui Yue'er was not worried about her soul power.

"Master, please don't let anything happen to you!" Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, Jin Yue'er and the others clasped their hands together, praying that Ye Liangchen could escape alive.

"You absolutely mustn't get hurt. I want to become a god with you, and then get married and have children!"

Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling and the others prayed in their hearts that the little guy would be safe and sound.

Seeing that the Demon Whale King was searching for Shui Yue'er and her group, Ye Liangchen decided to lure the big, clumsy fish away from this area.

"Xie Yue, Yan, don't resist. I'll put you two into my Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch."

Ye Liangchen took out his Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch and put the two guys inside.

"No problem, Pavilion Master." Xie Yue and Yan nodded in unison.

"Buzzing..."

After putting the two burdens into his magic pouch, Ye Liangchen's legs were finally freed, and he felt as light as a swallow.

"Master, are we going to die today?"

Hu Liena wrapped her arms and legs around Ye Liangchen's waist, her eyes filled with seductive allure as she asked, "But being able to die with this devilish man isn't so lonely."

"Swish..."

Hu Liena then activated her external soul bone, and a long fox tail appeared from behind her, tightly binding the two of them together.

"Die my foot!"

Ye Liangchen only then realized that he had a fox spirit clinging to his back, but it wasn't a big problem.

"Swish..."

Without the weight of Xie Yue and Yan, Ye Liangchen's flight speed increased several times, and he immediately soared into the sky at a height of a thousand meters.

"Hu Liena, is this an external soul bone?"

Feeling something furry wrap around his waist, Ye Liangchen touched it and found it quite smooth.

"Master, please...please don't touch my tail."

When her tail was grabbed, Hu Liena couldn't help but tremble, feeling incredibly excited.

"I'll distract that big fish. Hu Liena, hold on tight, don't fall in."

Ye Liangchen flew forward to buy time for Shui Yue'er and her group, otherwise they would have to stay hidden in the water and would be unable to escape this area.

"Don't worry! I'll never let go, even if it kills me."

Hu Liena smiled, loosened her grip on the external soul bone tail, quickly moved from behind Ye Liangchen to the front, then tightly hugged him, activating the external soul bone tail again to entangle the two of them tightly.

"Hu Liena, are you testing my willpower?"

Watching Hu Liena's actions, Ye Liangchen thought: You're using this to test your cadres? Which cadre can withstand this kind of test?

"Hehehe...! My Lord, how am I? Am I pretty?"

Hu Liena smiled charmingly, thinking: You saw me naked during the Soul Master Competition, I can't just let it go like that. If I don't teach you a lesson, where will this saintess's face be?

Hu Liena knew that this guy was destined to become a god in the future, and if she wanted to become a god, the only way was to cling to his coattails and take off.

"Splash... splash..."

"Humans, you've infuriated me!"

Just then, the Demon Whale King on the sea below circled the area but couldn't find any trace of Shui Yue'er and her group, as if they had vanished.

"I have to lure that big fish away, Hu Liena, are you scared?" Ye Liangchen asked.

"What's there to be afraid of? With the Pavilion Master here, I have nothing to fear!"

Hu Liena felt incredibly safe at that moment; fear simply didn't exist for her.

"You're a vixen."

"Hehehe...! Thank you for the compliment, Pavilion Master."

Hearing Ye Liangchen call her a fox spirit, Hu Liena was very excited. This was clearly a compliment on her beauty!

"Swish..."

"Hey! You big, dumb fish, come and chase me!"

Ye Liangchen flew to the sky in front of the Demon Whale King, shouted loudly at it, and then quickly flew away into the distance.

"Human, don't think you can escape my grasp just because you can fly. How long can your soul power last?"

Ye Liangchen of the Demon Whale Dynasty chased after them, stirring up waves.

"Demon Whale King, I have Soul Power Pills, which can replenish my soul power at any time."

Ye Liangchen swallowed several Soul Power Pills to quickly replenish his Soul Power. As he flew, he looked back at the big, clumsy fish.

"So what? Human, I'm going to have you today."

"Roar..."

Just then, the Demon Whale King let out a huge roar, the sound waves carrying a mental attack, trying to knock Ye Liangchen unconscious.

"You big idiot, trying to use psychological tactics on me? Are you kidding me?"

Ye Liangchen immediately launched a soul attack, breaking through the Demon Whale King's mental attack.

"ah…"

Hu Liena was lying in Ye Liangchen's arms when the two powerful mental forces collided, knocking her unconscious. Her external soul bone tail disappeared, and her hands loosened.

"Holy crap! That was close!"

Ye Liangchen reacted quickly, grabbing Hu Liena and then taking out a rope from his soul tool to tie her to himself.

"You big idiot, your mental attacks are ineffective against me!"

Ye Liangchen flapped his Wind and Thunder Wings, circling continuously in the sky.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"You're just a lowly human Soul Master, how could you possibly possess such powerful spiritual energy?"

When the Demon Whale King saw that his mental attack had been directly broken by Ye Liangchen, he suddenly doubted his own existence.

"Demon Whale King, although your cultivation is infinitely close to a million years, that's all from devouring other soul beasts. You're just an ignorant, foolish fish, unaware of the vastness of the heavens. Do you even know that there are other life-bearing planets beyond Douluo Star...?"

Ye Liangchen knew that this big fish had only lived for about 30 years and all it did was eat and sleep, just like a pig.

"Human, what exactly are you?"

The Demon Whale King was puzzled as to why this human boy, who was not even at the Soul Saint level, had such strong spiritual power and knew so much.

"You big idiot, I'm a cheater." Ye Liangchen chuckled.

"Cheater? I don't care what kind of cheater you are, I'm going to take you down today."

The Demon Whale King didn't know what "cheat code" meant; he only knew that this human boy possessed great potential, and that if he devoured him, he would surely become a demon god.

"roar…"

The Demon Whale King's enormous body leaped from the sea surface, its blood-red maw opening wide as it lunged at Ye Liangchen.

"A pure heart remains undisturbed even if the sky collapses, its tranquility endures through the ages, and its spirit is serene and at peace..."

Ye Liangchen flapped his Wind and Thunder Wings to evade the opponent's attack, then used his soul to transmit a message to the Demon Whale King, asking him to use the "Ice Heart Technique" to paralyze the opponent and see if it would be effective.

"Bang…"

The Demon Whale King missed its target and fell into the water, creating huge splashes that spread outwards in waves.

"Human, what kind of incantation are you reciting?"

Upon hearing the incantation spoken by Ye Liangchen, the Demon Whale King immediately felt its profound mystery, and the violent aura emanating from its body instantly subsided.

"Want to learn? I'll teach you." Ye Liangchen smiled mysteriously.

"Alright! Then tell me, I'm listening." The Demon Whale King stopped the pursuit and let Ye Liangchen continue reciting the incantation.

"A pure heart remains unperturbed even when the sky falls..."

"Click...click..."

"Bang...bang..."

While chanting the Ice Heart Mantra, Ye Liangchen flew to a point a hundred meters above the Demon Whale King's left side. Taking advantage of the Demon Whale King's momentary lapse in attention, he suddenly took out a Barrett sniper rifle and fired two shots at the Demon Whale King's left eye.

"Awooo...! Human, you are despicable and shameless."

The armor-piercing explosive round struck the Demon Whale King's left eye, blasting it open and rendering it completely blind. Another armor-piercing explosive round penetrated the skull through the eye socket, creating a gash the size of a washbasin, from which blood gushed forth, staining the seawater within a radius of several hundred meters red.

"Awooo...! Human, who exactly are you?"

The sudden turn of events terrified the Demon Whale King. This weak human had actually used a strange weapon to severely injure him. What use were his millions of years of hard work in cultivation?

"Demon Whale King, I told you I'm a cheater, don't be my enemy, but you wouldn't believe me. Now you're satisfied!"

Ye Liangchen is now certain that even a god cannot withstand the attack of a Barrett sniper rifle. Now that this big fish is blind, let's see how arrogant it can still be.

While you are sick, I will kill you.

"Bang bang..."

Ye Liangchen fired two more shots at the exhaust vent on the back of the Demon Whale King, blowing it to pieces.

"Ah...! Human, you're asking for death, Demon Whale Domain."

The Demon Whale King knew he was doomed today, and even if he died, he would take this person down with him.

"Buzzing..."

Blue light erupted from the Demon Whale King, forming blue energy that attempted to solidify this space.

"Soul attack".

"Whoosh..."

Seeing that the blue energy had such an effect, Ye Liangchen immediately launched a soul attack. An invisible sword emerged from between his eyebrows and shot into the Demon Whale King's soul sea, followed by a chaotic massacre.

"Aaaaaah...! No..."

The Demon Whale King's massive body trembled violently as its soul suffered a devastating attack, and its Demon Whale Domain vanished as its soul was severely damaged.

"Human, stop now! I surrender."

"Splash... splash..."

The Demon Whale King felt like his head was about to explode, and he let out a wail. His massive body rolled and churned, creating huge waves that surged towards the surrounding sea.

"Swish..."

Ye Liangchen ignored his opponent and continued to launch a soul attack, torturing him until he had no power to resist.

"Eek...!"

Hu Liena was awakened by the roar of the Demon Whale King. Seeing that she was still alive, she felt extremely fortunate.

"My God! This... you actually killed the Demon Whale King?"

Hu Liena looked down and was immediately shocked, her small mouth forming an "o" shape.

At this moment, the Demon Whale King's soul was on its last breath, with only a sliver of consciousness clinging to its life.

"Swish..."

At this moment, the Demon Whale King's body stopped rolling. Ye Liangchen withdrew his divine sense sword and then landed on the opponent's massive body.

"Demon Whale King, you're out of luck today."

Ye Liangchen placed his hand on the Demon Whale King and, with a thought, directly put the creature into his game pet space. He planned to kill it completely when he became stronger, absorbing its spirit rings and spirit bones, or perhaps give it to Shui Yue'er. After all, the Demon Whale King was a spirit beast used by the Sea God as a test for his successors.

"Swish..."

Seeing a huge reef a kilometer away, Ye Liangchen flapped his wings and flew in that direction to get some rest.

"You...you actually killed the Demon Whale King?"

"You even managed to put that enormous Demon Whale King into a soul tool?"

Hu Liena felt like she was dreaming. A soul beast that was nearly a million years old had actually been killed by this young man and even put into his soul tool. What kind of operation was this?

"I tricked that big fish. While it was distracted, I used my magic weapon to sneak up on it and blinded its other eye. That's how I finished it off."

Ye Liangchen only managed to subdue this big, clumsy fish by using tricks. He thought the Limit Douluo was very strong, but he couldn't even withstand the Barrett sniper rifle.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. In the original story, Tang San could kill his way through this world using hidden weapons. The Barrett is an even more powerful weapon than hidden weapons, so there probably isn't any strong person in this world who could withstand it.

"My lord, you're amazing!"

Hu Liena looked at Ye Liangchen's handsome face, her eyes sparkling.

"My move is called 'Holding a Girl in My Arms,' which doubles the damage."

Ye Liangchen smiled, recalling that when he was dealing with the Demon Whale King, Hu Liena had been in his arms the whole time. Wasn't it true that holding a girl in your arms doubles the damage?

"Pfft...!" Hu Liena was immediately amused and giggled repeatedly, truly resembling a fox spirit.

"My teacher once told me that you are capable of anything, and today I've finally seen it for myself."

"Thank you for letting me experience such a thrilling journey. I have no way to repay you but to offer you a kiss."

Hu Liena was tied to Ye Liangchen at this moment. Smelling the fragrance on his body, she felt very happy. So she reached out and hugged his neck tightly, and then kissed him.

"Hey! If you keep doing that, we'll fall!"

Suddenly ambushed by this vixen, Ye Liangchen almost fell from the sky. This woman actually kissed him; was she planning to seduce him?

"With you here, even if I fall, I won't be afraid."

Hu Liena smiled charmingly, thinking: Anyway, we're tied together, what's there to be afraid of?

"Let's rest for a bit first, then we'll go look for Sister Bing'er and the others. I wonder how they are doing now."

After flying to Jiao Island, Ye Liangchen untied the rope and let Hu Liena get down from his arms. Then he released Xie Yue and Yan Ye from the soul tool.

"Master, are we safe?"

When Xie Yue and Yan Yi appeared and found Ye Liangchen and Hu Liena safe and sound, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course it's safe, otherwise how would you ever see the sunlight?"

Hu Liena had hoped to spend some quality time with Ye Liangchen, but now that two other people were acting as third wheels, she felt a little annoyed.

"What an oblivious guy! He pushed me away from his arms so quickly. Am I not beautiful?"

Hu Liena mentally complained, and when she looked at Ye Liangchen, a hint of resentment appeared in her eyes.
