Others might not know it, but to the giant electric eel this place had plainly become a superb hunting ground. In ordinary times, lying in ambush for a hundred years might not bring one a single top-grade prey—especially one at the Sea-Rending Stage—yet here they were everywhere. Its deep purple lightning was devastatingly lethal besides, arriving in an instant with no chance to react. To it, this place was simply a land of plenty.
However, after the giant electric eel had swallowed a dozen or so prey in succession, the situation finally changed. A human cultivator bearing a giant sword fixed its eyes on it, and a colossal, sky-covering pressure followed. Its earlier ease and delight had come only from striking unseen; now things were different.
Sensing the danger, the giant electric eel met it head-on with a deep purple arc as thick as a bucket—not only instant, but near the speed of light. Unless one could foreknow and predict it, there was no dodging this move at all; one could only take it head-on.
The human master neither dodged nor evaded, letting the deep purple arc strike his body—yet his true qi shield flared once and vanished, and blocked it outright!
Then, backhanded, he drew the giant sword from his back. With a sudden sweep, a dreadful sword qi boomed down upon the giant electric eel's head—and the whole process left not even a flight trajectory, making it even more untraceable than the deep purple arc.
Struck on the crown by that indestructible sword qi, the giant electric eel straightaway suffered a silent loss, a shallow sword scar left upon its head!
Though it was no grave wound, it still roused its ferocity. With a low roar, deep purple arcs spread from its body in every direction; wherever they passed nothing seemed amiss—by the look of it, they merely dissipated into the air.
The human master watched this with some wariness, but before he could react, a bolt of lightning deep purple to the point of blackness came crashing down from the sky, piercing his true qi shield in an instant. In that single stroke, a top-tier powerhouse above the Sea-Rending Stage was struck straight into charred coke!
Wei Zhao was utterly stunned by the astounding sight. He had long since tasted the terror of the giant electric eel; that battle beneath the sea with the Five-Venom Flood Dragon had darkened heaven and earth, and its fearsome strength was beyond doubt. Yet none of that was as shocking as what he had just seen—a black bolt descending from the heavens to smite a being of the same tier dead. This was simply the legendary heavenly punishment!
More precisely, it was likely far more terrifying even than heavenly punishment. At the very least, however mighty heavenly punishment might be, it could never smite a Sea-Rending Stage master dead in one blow—still less a being above that stage.
After one black bolt smote the human master dead, the giant electric eel was given no respite, for in that very instant three beings of the same tier fixed their eyes upon it.
A woman in white seated on the ground playing the zither; an ancient serpent demon bearing nine heads; and a top-tier sea beast of unknown kind—each one a being above the Sea-Rending Stage. Now, because of the commotion just past, all had fixed their eyes on the giant electric eel. Perhaps out of wariness, these three had, most unusually, chosen to join forces and surround it.
Zither Requiem, Blood Pupil, Nether Venom—these dreadful killing arts, terrifying merely to behold, now bombarded the giant electric eel in turn! (To be continued..)
