Chapter 30 The Final Kick
At noon, the entire fishing grounds fell into an eerie silence.
The merfolk gathered in twos and threes, and on the surface, nothing seemed amiss.
But those in the know all had an undisguised tension in their eyes.
Today, we may live or die.
Gu Shenyan sat cross-legged beside the stone pillar, closing his eyes to rest.
The weight of the six shackles made every breath incredibly difficult, but he had grown accustomed to the feeling.
The power within is gathering and ready to be unleashed.
Blood was boiling, spiritual energy was surging, and every inch of skin was screaming for battle.
【Water Control (Spiritual Grade, Lower Level)】
[Proficiency Level: Beginner (99/100)]
Just one last step away.
It was just one step away from victory.
This kick can only be delivered when life or death is at stake.
At noon, the sunlight was at its brightest.
Footsteps could be heard outside the formation.
Two cultivators dressed in gray-blue Taoist robes, carrying spirit boxes, were slowly walking towards the southwest corner.
They walked and chatted casually, looking relaxed, clearly unaware of anything amiss.
In the fishing grounds, several elders, including Cang, suddenly moved.
"what!"
A heart-wrenching scream echoed across the fishing grounds.
It is Cang.
The old merman suddenly bled from all seven orifices and his body convulsed violently, as if he had suffered some kind of excruciating pain.
"Oh no! A merman is going to die!"
"Quickly! Report this to the higher-ups!"
"We haven't bled them dry yet; we can't let them die on their own!"
Attracted by this sudden turn of events, the two cultivators quickened their pace and hurried toward the scene.
It's now!
Lan gave the order.
Thirty elite soldiers, like arrows released from a bow, charged towards the weak point in the southwest corner.
Gu Shenyan rushed to the front.
Although he was fast, the restraint of the shackles made every movement extremely difficult.
The feeling was like carrying six mountains while swimming in water, requiring tremendous effort to move forward even an inch.
But he gritted his teeth and desperately activated his water-controlling supernatural power.
The transparent barrier was right in front of me.
He could clearly "see" that in the southwest corner of the barrier, an extremely fine crack was slowly expanding.
The crack was only the size of a fist, and it was constantly changing, disappearing in an instant.
Twenty breaths!
You only have twenty breaths!
Gu Shenyan took a deep breath of seawater and quickly formed hand seals in front of him.
Those were the hand seals taught by Cang, which could maximize the activation of the water control technique.
"Freeze!"
The seawater within a radius of five zhang (approximately 10 meters) surged in with difficulty.
The suppression of the six shackles was too terrifying. The water, which should have been as easy to control as an extension of its own arm, was now like a frozen block of ice, requiring several times the effort to move even an inch.
But Gu Shenyan did not give up.
He bit his tongue, and his blood spurted out, merging into the water.
Stimulated by the essence and blood, the water finally began to converge at an accelerated pace.
They spun, compressed, and solidified in the air...
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a water cone!
The cone was about three feet long, completely transparent, and its tip gleamed with a dangerous, cold light.
"break!"
Gu Shenyan let out a loud shout.
The water cone slammed into the weak point of the formation.
"clang!"
It sounded like the clanging of metal.
The transparent barrier trembled violently.
The fist-sized crack actually began to expand under the impact of this force!
Half a foot, one foot, two feet...
The crack was tearing wider and wider, and it looked like it was about to break open a gap big enough for someone to pass through!
But at that very moment...
"Monster, how dare you attack the formation!"
The two cultivators had already realized what was happening.
They roared, their hands forming hand seals as they each unleashed their magical weapons.
One of them unleashed a flying sword.
The sword was entirely blue, about three feet long, and gleamed with a cold light in the sunlight.
The sword flashed like lightning, aiming straight for Gu Shenyan's face!
Another person made hand gestures and chanted incantations.
"disease!"
Three fiery serpents appeared out of thin air, baring their fangs and claws as they lunged at Gu Shenyan.
The fire serpent was entirely crimson, its eyes gleaming with an eerie light.
Although formed by magic, it is lifelike and exudes a heart-pounding heat.
Water and fire are incompatible!
This move is specifically designed to counter water manipulation techniques!
At the critical moment, Gu Shenyan made a crazy decision.
He neither dodged nor used water to defend himself.
Instead, he suddenly raised his arms and held the shackles on his wrists horizontally in front of him!
"Well done!"
The flying sword and the fire serpent simultaneously struck the shackles!
"boom!"
The immense impact traveled through his entire body through the shackles.
Gu Shenyan spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.
But the shackles trembled violently under the impact of this terrifying force!
"Buzzing..."
The shackles made a piercing clanging sound.
They were originally magical artifacts used to suppress the supernatural powers of demons, and what they feared most was the direct impact of human spiritual energy.
The two cultivators intended to kill the monster with a single blow, but they did not expect that the monster would use its shackles to withstand the attack.
Even more unexpectedly...
"Snap!"
The shackles had developed cracks!
"this......"
The two cultivators' expressions changed drastically.
Gu Shenyan felt the suppressive force on his wrist suddenly weaken, and he was overjoyed.
"it works!"
He frantically activated his water manipulation technique, concentrating all the water he could control in the surrounding area into his right hand.
At this moment, he had almost regained half of his original strength!
Although the shackles were still suppressing him, the fact that they were only partially removed caused his strength to surge!
"Again!"
He charged towards the two cultivators.
Seeing this, the cultivators thought the monster had gone mad and intensified their attacks.
Flying swords, fire snakes, lightning, ice spikes... all sorts of spells poured down.
But Gu Shenyan always used shackles to block them!
"Boom boom boom!"
Once, twice, three times...
With each attack it withstands, the shackles crack one more time.
The monks finally realized what was happening.
"Oh no! This monster is doing this on purpose!"
"It's using our power to break the shackles!"
"Stop! Use binding magic instead!"
But it was too late.
"Snap!"
The suppressive force has decreased dramatically!
Gu Shenyan felt that of the six mountains that had been pressing down on him, only two remained!
Although it is still heavy, it is a world of difference compared to before!
"Hahaha……"
He looked up at the sky and laughed.
Laughter echoed in the sea, carrying a sense of unbridled joy.
The two cultivators were deathly pale.
They knew something bad had happened.
Sure enough, Gu Shenyan suddenly opened his arms wide.
The seawater within a radius of ten feet surged in wildly.
The water flowed like soldiers responding to a king's command, rushing to converge.
They spun, compressed, and solidified in the air... In the blink of an eye, they transformed into a water tornado!
The tornado was several meters high and as thick as a stone pillar, spinning wildly on the seabed and emitting a deafening roar.
The surrounding merfolk were all intimidated by this power and instinctively retreated.
Even Lan's eyes widened.
Is this Ze's true strength?
"break!"
Gu Shenyan let out a loud shout.
The waterspout slammed into the weak point of the formation.
boom!
The deafening roar shook the heavens.
The transparent barrier trembled violently, and the crack was finally torn open completely by the impact of this terrifying force!
The crack was over ten feet wide, and through it, one could even see the open sea!
"Hurry up!"
Lan gave the order.
Thirty merfolk surged toward the crevice like a tidal wave.
Their eyes burned with the fire of hope, and they rushed madly toward freedom.
One, two, three...
