BXBX NOVEL Chapter 145
Chapter 145
Beyond the domain of the Mermaid Clan, the sea creatures had already initiated their havoc. While the methods employed by these serpent beings were basic, they proved effective in dealing with the natural geographical setup. Their strategy was to ravage the nearby area completely. As for the Northern Territory practitioners, if they truly intended to breach the Elemental Magnetic Barrier, one way was to excavate the Mangkang Mountain.
The lowest point of Mangkang Mountain stood thousands of meters high, making it a massive undertaking. However, it could still be achieved if the Northern Territory had united their efforts and dedicated a significant amount of time. The natural geographical formation of Mangkang Mountain would naturally be disrupted in the process.
Nonetheless, even if the Northern Territory practitioners were well-provisioned and had no better alternatives, they would still not embark on such a task. Even for immortal cultivators, digging up a mountain that stretched for tens of thousands of miles and reached heights of thousands of meters was no small feat. Moreover, once they initiated the excavation, the Elemental Magnetic energy would become unstable, affecting the entire Northern Territory.
The Elemental Magnetic Barrier was something that even Nascent Soul cultivators were reluctant to tamper with. Even if they dug into the mountain, a minor mistake could result in significant loss of life and injuries. This situation could be manageable. The large number of sea creatures causing destruction nearby could be repelled with the Earth Spirit Pearl.
According to the principles of the Five Elements, Earth counters Water, and this natural geographical formation primarily harnessed the power of Water. The mermaid’s expression showed a slight frown. Although she had reached the Nascent Soul stage, she lacked the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator. The serpent beings outside, along with the sea creatures they brought, included Fourth-order sea creatures, which were unquestionably formidable.
“They probably don’t have Nascent Soul cultivators,” Li Su concluded. “Among these individuals, there likely aren’t any Nascent Soul cultivators or their aura wouldn’t be like this.” “If you reveal yourself now, will they leave?” Li Su inquired. The mermaid responded, “I don’t know, but I have a feeling they probably won’t leave so easily.” “There are many powerful individuals among them. If they come in, I won’t be able to handle them right now. Let me restore my cultivation, and in at most a month, I’ll be able to deal with them,” the mermaid requested once more, hoping that Li Su could help her recover her cultivation.
Li Su momentarily contemplated and said, “Open the grand formation, and I’ll go out to deal with them.” “The strongest among them might have reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage,” the mermaid said. “Don’t worry, if I can’t handle them, you can close this place off again,” Li Su replied. As they spoke, Li Su dismantled the surrounding formations swiftly. The mermaid was surprised at how rapidly Li Su accomplished it.
Witnessing Li Su’s confident demeanor, she finally opened the exit of the grand formation. “Be cautious,” she cautioned. Once the grand formation was opened, Li Su dashed outside. “Huh? A human?” The leading serpent person outside spotted Li Su and his expression turned icy. Li Su emerging from the formation likely meant that he had already taken control of this place. “I’ve already secured this location. You do no need to waste your efforts,” Li Su said nonchalantly.
The leader of the serpent people hesitated and evaluated Li Su’s strength. The current sea clans were not as formidable as they used to be and were not as dominant when facing humans. “This is our territory, belonging to the sea clans,” he finally spoke, unwilling to yield. “Is it?” Li Su responded. Li Su snorted softly and suddenly attacked.
Countless beams of light pierced through the seawater, heading directly for the leading serpent person. The serpent person, upon seeing Li Su’s assault, yelled angrily and instantly unleashed his magical weapon.
“Boom!”
The surrounding seawater violently trembled, and the serpent person’s face turned pallid. He quickly brought out a shield and blocked the attack. An intense vibration followed, causing the serpent person to stagger backward.
“Plop”
When he regained his footing, he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was greatly alarmed. He was already at the Ninth Layer of the Nascent Soul stage, with a robust physique. However, Li Su had just attacked with what seemed like weaker energy, yet he managed to make him cough up blood. How could this human be so formidable?
The serpent person leader harbored a sense of reluctance but understood that Li Su was incredibly powerful and commanding. Continuing the fight would only result in more suffering for his group. Additionally, they were not far from the Northern Territory, and he couldn’t be certain if this human had reinforcements. “Let’s go!” he declared, and the snake people retreated. The leader felt reluctant but had no choice but to withdraw. Leading a sizable group with numerous sea creatures and other snake people was irrelevant if they couldn’t defeat Li Su. Seeing the snake people depart, Li Su chose not to pursue and returned to the grand formation.
“Thank you!” Bai Ling, the mermaid inside the formation, had witnessed what had happened when Li Su intervened. “No need. They might come back, so you should recover as quickly as possible. I’m leaving now. Perhaps we’ll meet again,” Li Su said. He didn’t linger and promptly departed since he had allowed her to recover her cultivation. This time, he had gained quite a bit, justifying his decision to bring her out. He had been away for some time, and it was time to return and continue his development.
