The sea surface returned to calm, with only one ship left floating alone, as if nothing had ever happened. The four huge figures standing in the sea looked a little dazed.
"What did you see?"
"A toad demon from the netherworld..."
"It seems to have sunk to the bottom of the sea."
"Don't bother with the little demon from the lower world. Capture the mortal monk and bring him to heaven for punishment!"
Among the four giant figures, the one holding the Jade Pipa took a step forward, raising several feet of waves and approaching. As if sensing something, he let out a "Hmm?" like the echo of a bronze bell. He tilted his head to look to the side, and suddenly someone of the other three brothers who were traveling across the sea fell down in his sight, raising a huge wave of hundreds of feet, and disappeared into the water in the blink of an eye.
"Mo Li Hong!"
The giant figure holding the umbrella roared, swung his mountain-like shoulders, and reached out to grab the fallen figure. The next moment, the waves several feet high behind him broke open with a "splash", and a scarlet black shadow wrapped around his arm, dragging the whole person directly into the water. At that moment, the long tongue wrapped around his arm loosened, and lashed out at another giant figure like an iron whip. The opponent's Qingfeng sword blocked it, and the long tongue retracted into the surging and churning sea water.
The roll and the whip were completed in almost one breath. When it retracted into the water, a toad's cry rang out between heaven and earth, and the entire sea area was shaken and circular ripples spread out in all directions.
By the time the three men reacted, the sea surface bulged high, revealing a huge dark figure, which slowly stood up from the water, dragging a curtain of water.
Large amounts of water flowed down into the sea through the gaps between the dense bumps on its huge body, revealing a figure that was also as majestic as a mountain standing above the sea. Countless drops of water flowed across a pair of scarlet eyes on the toad's face.
"Catch my disciple, haha... You have to get past me first!"
The words came rolling in like thunder. The toad's huge mouth opened and closed, full of dense sharp teeth. A long tongue with saliva passed across the corner of the mouth. The frog's webbed feet slowly lifted up, stirring up a roar of wind and thunder, which shook the area within a radius of hundreds of miles.
"The evil fog rises, and Old Man He returns—"
The purple-black lumps that looked like countless mountaintops suddenly began to shake continuously, emitting purple smoke that filled the surroundings. Mo Lihong, who had been dragged into the water before, climbed up from the bottom of the sea, looked at the three brothers, turned around, and his expression became serious.
"I was mistaken. It turned out to be a demon king."
"Brothers, don't say too much. Now that we have met, let's bring them back together!"
Among the four giant shadows, Mo Liqing, who had a red face and a beard as thin as copper wire, pushed away the sea water and rushed forward. In his hand, there was a green sword with the word "wind" printed on it, which lit up. He swung it fiercely, and the trajectory drawn by the sword light turned black and turned into a strong wind. Before it blew to the other side, the huge toad opened its mouth, and the same strong wind whistled, and it directly sucked the black wind slashed by the opponent into its mouth. Its cheeks suddenly swelled up and down, as if there was a fight going on inside.
“Haha, you little demon from the lower world don’t know the true law of heaven and earth. This is the black wind talisman in my sword. There are thousands of divine weapons and sharp blades hidden in the wind. Not to mention you, a demon from the lower world, even the gods above wouldn’t dare to swallow it in one gulp like you did!”
Mo Liqing looked at the Qingfeng sword floating in his palm with the tip of the sword pointing upwards, his eyes flashing like lightning. He flicked his other hand, and the talisman lit up with fire. A red snake swam out, swallowing its tongue and pouncing towards the toad with bulging cheeks.
On the opposite side, the huge frog's webbed feet swung horizontally, snapping the red snake apart. The Toad Taoist chewed it hard, using his webbed feet to wipe the blood that seeped from the corner of his mouth.
"There is nothing in the world that I cannot swallow. It's just a gust of black wind. I'll give it back to you!"
As he was speaking, there was a sudden "Huh!" sound, and the toad opened its mouth. The black wind spurted out like saliva, hitting Mo Liqing's suspended Qingfeng sword. Amid the loud bang, the Toad Taoist raised his flippers.
"No matter how good the gods are, I will still beat them!"
The frog's flippers were raised high and slapped the sea surface below. A huge wave splashed up and cut vertically towards the four giant shadows on the opposite side like a spreading knife. The diffuse purple smoke also rushed to the opposite side along with the wave in an instant.
"How dare you, little demon from the lower world!"
Mo Lihong, who had just fallen into the sea in a panic, stood in front. He did not dare to open the Hunyuan Pearl Umbrella in his hand casually, but just held it horizontally in front of Mo Liqing. The moment it touched the waves and poisonous smoke, the tip of the umbrella deflected and pulled in another direction, and with a bang, it raised waves of more than ten feet in the distance.
The blast of air caused the surrounding sea surface to churn and roll. The four scholars hiding in the cabin of the swaying ship had woken up and were lying on the cabin door, staring in amazement. Even the old donkey who was crawling there motionless had his eyes wide open, unable to understand what kind of cultivation was required to engage in such a fight.
Huh~~
The Toad Taoist took a deep breath, looked at the four gods in front of him, then rushed out. No matter whether he won or not, he would delay Liangsheng for a while.
The next moment, it dragged its huge body and crashed to the other side like a collapsing mountain.
…
The moist air entered my nose, and there was a faint light flickering in the darkness.
Lu Liangsheng's consciousness gradually became clear. He gathered his thoughts and moved his cold fingers, feeling something wet and hard. Occasionally, a familiar hissing sound of "ji..." echoed in his ears. As he slowly opened his eyes, he saw a blurry figure crawling in the dim light, making a "pa pa" sound from time to time.
"You brought me in?"
The scholar's weak murmur was heard, and in the dim light, the crawling figure made another low "ji" sound, crawled towards this side, arched and stretched, looked at the dazed Lu Liangsheng, suddenly turned in a direction, raised the fish tail and swept it across his face.
The cold water stains made Lu Liangsheng's face wet, and he immediately became much more sober. He sat up, dragging his completely soaked robe. His head still felt a little swollen and painful. After seeing the mermaid in front of him who was looking at him with her head tilted, he raised his hands and saluted the other party. The latter also raised his hands and looked around.
Lu Liangsheng forced a smile, supported himself on the cold ground and looked around. It was dark and deep, with only a faint light in front of him. However, he still couldn't see the ground under his feet. It was as if he was in an infinitely extending void in a small world inside his body.
Thinking of the small world, he hurriedly sensed his body. However, he found that his perception had returned to the level of an ordinary person and he could not feel the existence of his cultivation or the demon pill at all.
"This should be Guixu... Dao magic is useless, so we can only move forward towards the light..."
Giving up the idea of mobilizing his magic power, Lu Liangsheng took a deep breath and walked towards the light step by step with wet steps. He believed that it would not be long before he arrived there.
'grumble?'
Seeing the scholar walking forward, the mermaid shook its seaweed-like hair, hissed vigilantly, tilted its head to look to both sides, paddled its arms timidly, rubbed its body against the ground, followed behind, chirping something incomprehensible to Lu Liangsheng.
The faint light still shone on the scholar's face. After walking dozens of steps, the surroundings were still as dark as before, and the light was still in the distance.
