The sea water is very cold, just like a piece of ice, freezing cold.
As soon as Wu Chen entered the water, he was shivering from the cold. His old injuries had not yet healed, and his whole body was immersed in such icy sea water. One can imagine how painful it was.
“It’s so cold.”
Wu Chen quickly practiced his profound skills, and a stream of energy surged out of his dantian and flowed into his limbs, bones, and meridians, gradually warming up his body.
There are many difficulties to overcome in the sea water. Cold is just one of them. The bigger problem lies in breathing. Humans are not fish. It is impossible for them to breathe and swim in water like fish. There are many inconveniences.
However, Wu Chen is a cultivator after all, with powerful cultivation, and he can deal with various unfavorable conditions well.
Soon, Wu Chen adjusted his condition and was barely able to adapt to the underwater environment.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw a figure rushing towards him like lightning, as fast as lightning.
"It's that old fellow."
Wu Chen's face changed drastically. He didn't expect that the old man would actually go into the water. This was a bit beyond his expectations.
Since that old man is here, he naturally can't stay here anymore. Wu Chen is forced to move, swing his legs, change direction, and swim quickly to the deeper part of the seabed.
"This little bastard is really cunning."
As soon as Wu Chen left, Gu Batian followed closely. Looking at Wu Chen's figure, he smiled faintly. Their Yunlai Dynasty relied on the Yunlai Sea, and everyone in the country was familiar with water. He was no exception. This kid wanted to compete with him in the water, which was simply courting death.
With a swing of his legs, a huge splash of water was stirred up. Gu Batian did not hesitate and rushed down immediately. He would never give up until he caught Wu Chen.
"No, I can't continue to waste time with him."
Deep underwater, Wu Chen was swimming. He had been injured before and his strength was greatly reduced. Now he was in the cold sea water, and his physical and spiritual power were being consumed rapidly. If he didn't think of a solution, he would probably be completely finished.
"Boy, where are you going to run?"
From behind, Gu Batian was approaching quickly. No matter what happened today, he could not let this kid live. No matter where this kid escaped, he would surely die.
Looking at Wu Chen, Gu Batian slapped down with his palm. A powerful palm force burst out, and the surrounding sea water shook violently and exploded, just like a giant mine exploding.
Feeling the danger from above, Wu Chen's face changed drastically. Gu Batian's palm power was so overbearing that even a strong man at the second level of the True Martial Realm might not be able to withstand it with one blow, let alone him.
Bang!
A huge force acted on him in an instant. Wu Chen screamed and was shaken away. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and a sweetness in his throat. He couldn't help but spit out another large mouthful of blood. His body was even more injured and in more pain.
"Run, little bastard. Aren't you a very good runner?"
Gu Batian sneered. No matter how fast this kid could run, he would not be able to escape from his grasp.
Wu Chen fell into the water and had difficulty breathing, because he was in water. Every time he opened his mouth, a large amount of sea water would pour into his mouth. The sea water rushed into his mouth and entered his abdominal cavity, stirring up his body and making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Boy, this clan leader has no patience to tangle with you any longer, you better go to hell."
Gu Batian grabbed Wu Chen, his eyes full of cruelty. This kid killed his two sons, two younger brothers, and countless clansmen. It was too easy for him to be killed so easily. He once swore to make this kid experience all the tortures in the world and make him wish he could neither live nor die.
However, he was well aware of the kid's cunning. If he was not killed soon, there was no guarantee that he would not escape again. Therefore, it was better to kill him like this. After killing this kid, extracting his soul and burning it in the soul refining lamp would make him unable to live or die. Moreover, the pain would be more intense and more fierce.
Gu Batian slapped out with his palm, hitting Wu Chen's chest hard, almost shattering his chest.
Wu Chen's body shook, and severe pain spread into his mind, making his already confused consciousness clear again.
"Boy, are you finally awake?"
Seeing Wu Chen regain consciousness, Gu Batian was even more delighted. It was better if Wu Chen regained consciousness, so that he could torture this kid to his heart's content.
"Your body is quite strong."
Gu Batian smiled coldly, grabbed Wu Chen with his left hand, clenched his right fist, and punched out again.
“Crack!”
Several of Wu Chen's ribs were broken, and he opened his mouth and spurted out large amounts of blood. This kind of pain was so heart-wrenching that it was simply unbearable.
"No, I can't die in a place like this."
The remaining consciousness told Wu Chen that he must not continue like this. If he continued like this, he would definitely die.
But what else can he do now? He was badly injured and his strength was greatly damaged. He had no chance to fight back. Moreover, even if he could fight back, he would still not be a match for Gu Batian. Gu Batian's strength was too powerful, far beyond his imagination.
As for the Soul Seal Needle, this is actually a good idea, because the distance is so close, using the Soul Seal Needle is the best option.
However, he was in the water now, and his soul power was very fragile. Once he used it, he might be blocked by the surrounding sea water before he could touch Gu Batian.
Although the Soul Seal Needle is extremely powerful, the conditions for its use are extremely harsh. Normally, Wu Chen would not use it because it has no effect.
"This is?"
Gu Batian opened his eyes wide and looked at the clothes on Wu Chen. At this time, due to the continuous attacks and the soaking in sea water, Wu Chen's outer clothes were already tattered, revealing a shiny armor.
"Mid-grade spiritual armor."
Staring at the golden armor on Wu Chen's body, Gu Batian spoke word by word, with a surge of shock in his heart. A mid-grade spiritual armor is a priceless treasure. Even for powerful warriors like them in the True Martial Realm, it has a great effect. Wearing it can effectively enhance the body's defensive power and increase one's combat effectiveness.
No wonder this kid’s body was so strong. He had been fighting for so long but it still didn’t break. It turned out that it was because he was wearing a mid-grade spiritual armor.
"Hahaha, kid, you really surprised this clan leader. You actually gave me such a good thing."
