The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Chapter 337: Chapter 336: Rising to Cloud Sky

Lin Bai knew well that in the sea, it was impossible to defeat the giant beast.

With the giant beast watching, Lin Bai did not even have the ability to flee.

However, if he left the water, the outcome was yet to be determined.

The reason why the giant beast was powerful was because of its vast body and the power to control the current. In the water, it could use the strength of the ocean to suppress Lin Bai.

It just so happened that it was Lin Bai’s first time in the water, and he was not accustomed to underwater combat.

Now in a battle with the giant beast, although his sword skill was still powerful, he felt bound by the power of the vast ocean. If he could return to the land, Lin Bai could use his powers freely with all cylinders firing.

It just so happened that the giant beast was a water creature. Once it was on land, its combat power would surely plummet.

At that moment, the situation of the enemy being strong and me weak would turn into me being strong and it being weak.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Bai decisively headed for the surface.

Underneath the thousand-foot depth of the sea, Lin Bai, like a bolt of lightning, darted to the water’s surface.

The giant beast behind him was unstoppable, swinging its huge body in pursuit.

Despite the giant beast’s tremendous size, its speed was not slow at all.

Lin Bai had to sprint a kilometer in three breaths, but the beast only needed one flick of its tail to catch up.

A large body did have its advantages.

The giant beast’s large body shot up from the deep sea, like a cannonball pushing the water flow to hit Lin Bai’s body.

Roar——

An earsplitting roar echoed, transforming the roaring water flow into sharp arrows, striking on Lin Bai’s back.

"Pfft——"

Lin Bai spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

At this moment, his wounds reopened, staining the sea water red.

Lin Bai shot a deadly glance back at the relentless giant beast and coldly said, "If you have the guts to continue chasing me, wait until we’re out of the water, and I’ll kill you."

"Go on!"

The Feng Lei Divine Wings swiftly unfolded, and Lin Bai’s speed did not decrease as he rushed up to the water’s surface.

To Lin Bai, who had the Feng Lei Divine Wings, the distance of a thousand feet seemed very close.

But at this moment, Lin Bai felt as if it was the ends of the earth, too far away.

Roar——

The giant beast roared again, opening its huge mouth, compressing the sea water inside, and violently spouting it out. The powerful water pillar was like a sharp arrow in the sea that could pierce the sky.

It roared and struck Lin Bai.

"This can’t be good!"

Lin Bai swiftly dodged, trying to move horizontally to the left by a kilometer, but he was injured by the aftermath of the water column.

With one spit, he vomited a mouthful of fresh blood mixed with shattered internal organs into the sea water.

Looking at the fragments of his internal organs in the water, Lin Bai’s face turned pale.

"Keep going!"

Lin Bai did not slow down and continued to dash to the water surface.

Lin Bai was now very clear that he could only defeat the giant beast if he rushed to the water surface. Otherwise, he would be a sitting duck under the water.

Roar——

A roar of anger came.

The sound wave made Lin Bai’s skin burst open.

"Keep going!"

Lin Bai’s eyes were red, as he desperately resisted the dread of death, the fear of death, the shadow of death, hell-bent on getting out of the water.

Fresh blood continually spurted from his body.

Lin Bai’s speed was incredibly fast, transforming into a red streak of light, rushing from the dark and lightless depths of the thousand-foot waters.

Why was the light red?

Because Lin Bai’s blood had colored the light red.

Roar——

Another roar came.

Now, whenever Lin Bai heard a roar, it felt as if he was hearing Yama’s roar.

Whoosh——

The water constantly rolled back, compressed in the giant beast’s mouth.

Spewed out, a pillar of water that could break the sky, once again attacked.

After Lin Bai desperately avoided it, he continued to rush to the water surface.

At that moment, the giant beast seemed to understand Lin Bai’s intentions - it knew Lin Bai wanted to leave the water.

The beast also seemed to comprehend that it had an absolute advantage underwater, but once it left the water, it would not rule that domain anymore.

Realizing Lin Bai’s intention, the beast let out an angry roar and accelerated in no time, making a beeline for Lin Bai from a kilometer behind him.

And then...

Lin Bai’s eyes were fixed on the sky above. Finally, he saw the sunlight broken by the sea surface.

"Come on then!"

"Come!"

"If you dare, keep coming!"

Spotting the sunlight, Lin Bai screamed in desperation, as if he had seized a life-saving straw.

The Dantian Qi, Gold Spirit Vortex, and Fire Spirit Vortex in his body began to spin in unity. Inside Lin Bai, it was as if a prehistoric giant beast was awakening, continuously increasing his speed.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Bai broke the water surface.

But Lin Bai didn’t stop.

The speed of the Feng Lei Divine Wings shot Lin Bai a kilometer into the sky.

A kilometer...

Ten kilometers...

Ninety kilometers...

Meanwhile, the giant beast behind Lin Bai emerged from the water as well.

Its massive body, propelled by the force of leaving the water, also took flight.

On the other side...

The Poison Dragon Island Master, injured and exhausted, had no choice but to surface to heal his wounds.

But as the Poison Dragon Island Master surfaced and began to heal, the surface of the water started to tremble violently. Huge waves swept up from all directions.

"What’s happening?" The Poison Dragon Island Master looked shocked. The Poison Dragon Beast on his shoulder sent a danger signal. Its snake-like eyes stared into the distance as its body shivered in fear. This feeling was akin to the terror of seeing royalty.

Just as the Poison Dragon Island Master was befuddled with fear...

He noticed - at least 10,000 miles away on the water surface - a red lightning bolt shooting out of the sea and going straight into the sky.

"Such speed! This is at least equal to the Divine Elixir Realm!"

When Poison Dragon Island Master saw this kind of speed, he screamed in shock.

Immediately after, a huge entity followed the red lightning and entered the sea surface.

"My, my, my God!"

When the Poison Dragon Island Master saw this monstrous entity, he was so scared that his eyes were about to pop out of his head. His body shivered, his hairs standing on end. The Poison Dragon Beast on his shoulder was even more scared and hid behind him.

Looking at this monstrous entity that emerged from the sea, its appearance, larger than a whale by tens or even hundreds of times, blocked out the sky and the light from the sun, moon, and stars.

"My God!"

"My God!"

The mind of the Poison Dragon Island Master was blank with shock, his endless shrieks echoing around him.

"Is this... a giant beast?"

The appearance of an ancient different beast, a prehistoric giant beast, utterly overturned the Poison Dragon Island Master’s understanding of demon beasts.

This creature was too big. How could there be such a massive demon beast?!

"Wait, this giant beast is chasing that red lightning. But why does that lightning seem so familiar..."

"That’s... Lin Bai!"

The initially dazed eyes of the Poison Dragon Island Master slowly turned into shock.

"The giant beast is chasing after Lin Bai!"

After recognizing Lin Bai, after brief struggle, Poison Dragon Island Master tackled the horror with a hardened gaze and clenched teeth, and darted towards Lin Bai’s direction.

The Poison Dragon Island Master remembered that he was the one who had sought out Lin Bai, telling him that they would need to work together on their journey through the Lost Sea, that they must seal the gap together.

He was the one who asked Lin Bai to suppress his grudges, saying that no matter how big they were, they could settle the scores after sealing the gap.

He was the one who asked Lin Bai to exert all his efforts to help Sha Tongtian seal the gap.

He was the one who asked Lin Bai to temporarily give up searching for the Spiritual Spring Sea and just focus on sealing the gap.

Now, Lin Bai was putting his all into leading away the giant beast for the team.

He had to save Lin Bai, despite being covered in injuries and his power reduced by a fifth. But he still had to go!

Because, they had agreed to work together in the Lost Sea, to give their all!
