Chapter 233: Slaying the Deep Sea Demon Whale King
"Hey, boy, you came here alone? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
Above the sea, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King fixed its gaze on the moon-white figure in the sky.
At the same time, it was wary of its surroundings.
Although the ocean was vast and offered few hiding places, this group of people couldn't possibly have come alone.
Furthermore, it was night, and ambushes were likely ten thousand meters in the air.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was wary. Even with Gu Han's disdainful gaze, it remained unenraged. Instead, it spoke probingly.
"To be honest, I came here secretly, intending to spar with you, Senior."
Gu Han, of course, wouldn't tell him the truth. His sword energy surged, and the air around them grew incredibly cold.
"Haha, boy, don't think you can challenge me just because you have the Snow Emperor's spirit ring."
The Snow Emperor's Three Unrivaled Skills were renowned in the spirit beast world. Almost every hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast had heard of the Snow Emperor's fame, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was no exception.
The moment Gu Han unleashed his Emperor Palm, he knew Snow Emperor had likely been hunted down.
As for why it wasn't a sacrifice, it was simply because the group hunting him was too formidable. Even with Snow Emperor's strength, she was likely in grave danger.
"Then give it a try."
Gu Han displayed his unwavering brilliance. Under the moonlight, his dark blue longsword appeared incredibly mysterious, its edge gleaming with a faint, cold light.
Using the moonlight as his sword, Gu Han slashed down hundreds of crescent-shaped sword energies, each one carrying terrifying piercing power.
"Interesting, I'll play along."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King gave a bloodthirsty smile. It wasn't that he was cruel, just that he looked a bit ferocious. He hadn't actually done anything evil; at most, he'd just eaten too much.
He transformed into human form, harnessing the power of the sea and combining it with his terrifying spirit power to create a massive sphere of energy.
The sword energy and energy spheres collided, canceling each other out and transforming into a cloud of ice shards that fell into the sea with a faint glow.
"Sixth Spirit Skill: Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin."
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
An endless rain of swords descended, controlled by Gu Han, pursuing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King as it continuously shifted above the sea.
"Sure enough, he's still on guard,"
Gu Han's brows furrowed slightly. He might have the advantage, but in reality, the opponent simply wasn't focusing on him, wary of a sneak attack from Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi.
But then, a smile curved his lips.
He had long anticipated that the opponent's character wouldn't fight him. Now, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was following their plan, and under Gu Han's careful guidance, it was heading towards the island reef where they had ambushed him.
The rain of swords fell on the sea, forming various irregular crystals, which looked magnificent in the moonlight.
"This kid's level is only newly promoted, yet his attack power is so formidable. Humanity truly has many talents."
Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King hadn't actually engaged Gu Han, in a few probing attempts, he had discovered that the opponent's attacks had extremely strong penetrating power. Unless countered with offensive attacks, defensive skills were almost equivalent to standing still and taking a beating.
Glancing back at Gu Han, he saw him standing atop a longsword, countless flying swords emanating from his body, seemingly endless.
How could this kid have so much spirit power?
A kid barely level 95, unleashing such a massive soul attack—a normal Titled Douluo would have been depleted of it long ago.
Yet, this kid showed no sign of fatigue; instead, his attacks intensified.
"Monster!"
Cursing silently, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King continued to increase his speed, intending to fight and retreat. He wouldn't stay in the fight until he was sure the enemy was alone.
"There seems to be an island reef a hundred miles ahead. Let's test it out. If no one comes to help, we'll finish this kid off there."
At this thought, a murderous intent flashed in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes.
While he might be calm, that didn't mean he was impervious to temper. He'd been chased and attacked by a group of human Titled Douluo for so many days while sleeping soundly. It would be a lie to be calm. If the enemy wasn't outnumbered, he would have killed them long ago.
"Boy, follow me if you dare."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King turned and slapped out with a mighty palm of spirit power spanning a hundred meters, shattering a large number of flying swords.
Gu Han's eyes shone, and he activated the spirit bone in his right arm. His five fingers formed claws, and he swung out five dark golden claws, instantly tearing through the spirit palm.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was shocked. He actually possessed the spirit bone of a Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, and it was a hundred thousand years old.
The sea churned up, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King transformed into his true form, opening his bloody maw and unleashing his devouring power.
The terrifying suction swallowed the Dark Gold Terror Claw and countless swords into his stomach, the powerful suction pulling Gu Han in.
Immediately, Gu Han sheathed his sixth spirit skill, and his seventh spirit ring illuminated, unleashing his martial spirit true form.
"Such a powerful devouring force."
Even though Gu Han was now extremely powerful, he was still forcibly pulled towards the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's devouring power, demonstrating the terrifying power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"Haha, boy, are you taking my devouring power well?"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King laughed provocatively. However, he didn't let his guard down. This was a test. If the ambush had been following him from high above, they would surely not care about this boy's life or death.
However, after a while, he found that no attack had been launched, which made the Deep Sea Demon Whale King feel a little uncertain.
"Could this boy really be so young and impulsive that he sneaked out?"
"No, that's not right. There's definitely something wrong. We need to take another look."
With this thought, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King continued to increase the suction force.
Gu Han realized he couldn't break free from the suction force by his own strength, so he activated his ultimate escape technique: Teleport.
In a flash, Gu Han flashed across a thousand meters, freeing himself from the terrifying suction.
"This kid can actually teleport that far!?"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was slightly surprised. It had seen teleportation skills before, but this was the first time it had seen a distance of at least four or five hundred meters.
"Hmph, running that far must consume a tremendous amount of spirit energy. I wonder how long you can hold out."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King opened its maw and unleashed a torrent of crimson lightning. The terrifying torrent carved a vast trench in the sea, sending raging waves.
Gu Han narrowed his eyes slightly and teleported again, moving over three hundred meters in an instant, avoiding the terrifying attack.
This kind of linear attack, as long as it didn't lock onto or block space, was easy for Gu Han to dodge.
"So strong!"
Gu Han panted, feigning the imminent exhaustion of his spirit power. In an instant, he swiftly fled on his sword, fleeing towards the island reef area.
"Boy, this ocean isn't one you can just come and go as you please."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was now certain the boy had escaped alone; otherwise, given his terrifying attack, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi would have been out long ago.
Thinking back to the days he'd been hunted by these humans, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's face suddenly revealed a cruel smile.
"Hey, I'll collect some interest today."
Immediately, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King transformed into a streak of rainbow light, swiftly pursuing Gu Han.
Gu Han's Hundred Thousand Years Ice Phoenix right leg bone activated, instantly increasing his base speed by 200%. He transformed into an icy blue streak of light, sweeping across the sea.
Two streaks of light, one red and one blue, moved at breakneck speed, chasing him from behind.
Their speed was so rapid that they reached the island reef area in less than an incense stick of time.
Gu Han paused, and as the ninth spirit ring beneath his feet illuminated, the moonlight seemed to brighten considerably.
"Ninth Spirit Skill: Open Heaven!"
The sky ripped apart as a massive sword burst forth, slicing through the heavens. Its icy aura pierced the bones, freezing space and time. The sword descended with incredible speed, arriving in front of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in an instant.
"No!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King exclaimed in shock.
He hadn't expected this young man to still have the energy to unleash his ninth spirit skill. Everything happened so suddenly that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King only had time to deploy ten layers of spirit power to create a massive energy shield.
Boom!
The giant sword instantly pushed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King onto the reef.
"Ah..."
"Ninth Spirit Skill, Angel's Glory!" x2
"Ninth Spirit Skill, Myriad Abyss Sacred Halberd!"
"Ninth Spirit Skill, Divine Phoenix Destruction!"
"Ninth Spirit Skill, Heavenly Wind Purification!"
Five terrifying attacks instantly merged with Gu Han's ninth spirit skill. Because they were preparing spirit rings for Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi held back. Otherwise, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King would have been doomed by this wave.
"Ah, I won't accept this!!!"
Gu Han watched as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's luck vanished, and he roared. "Senior Sister!!"
A humming sound echoed through the air, and Bibi Dong, clad in dark golden armor, soared high into the sky, the evil divine sword in her hand unleashing unparalleled might.
"Eighth Spirit Skill, Evil God Killer Whale Slash!"
With this strike, Bibi Dong drew upon nearly all of her spirit power, striking without reservation.
A dark golden sword energy, stretching hundreds of meters, shattered all attacks, including the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's weakened defenses.
Under the attack that ignored the defense below the god level, the tough skin of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was useless.
The sword light slashed down, splitting the body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in two, and then cut an entire straight line of islands and reefs in half, cutting the sea into a thousand-meter-deep trench that would not heal for a long time.
At the same time, Qian Daoliu's eyes were completely covered by golden energy, and the stone skin of the six-winged angel statue in the enshrined hall fell off, transforming into a holy angel.
"Angel·Judgment!"
As Qian Daoliu pointed his holy sword, a sacred light fell from the sky. This attack was only aimed at the soul of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"Ahhh, I hate it!!!"
The soul of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King howled with resentment, and then his soul was shattered under the judgment of the angel's divine power.
