"My esteemed sirs! Might I trouble you for a moment?"
Zhu Yu, currently being pulled rapidly through the ocean by a white ape via an iron chain, worried about his future.
His mediocre alchemy skills would soon be exposed, and he dreaded what they would do to him then.
"Esteemed sirs, you may not know, but my alchemy skills are only average within the Dan Xin Sect. I have a junior brother who is a renowned alchemy genius throughout the entire Lu Kingdom's immortal cultivation world.
When he refines third-tier pills, every furnace is guaranteed to produce one top-grade pill.
If you are interested, I can lure this junior brother here to refine pills for you specifically..."
Zhu Yu pondered if he could trick these two white apes, perhaps using it as an opportunity to escape.
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the white ape.
"Enough nonsense! Keep up!"
The white ape, at the Nascent Soul stage, was fierce. It whipped him twice with the chain, causing Zhu Yu to tremble and dare not speak further.
Even Xiao Fei couldn't resist kicking Zhu Yu's backside.
"You imbecile!"
Xiao Fei still had an outstanding transaction for Green Marrow Jade to complete. However, after leaving the auction, they felt they were being followed, forcing them to leave Black Flood City.
Hundreds of miles outside Black Flood City, a giant octopus caught up to them.
"Why must you three friends depart in such haste? Pray, wait for this old man."
Zhang Luo had been secretly searching since receiving news of the Kun Peng, but had found nothing for decades.
He had harbored suspicions upon encountering Fei Yu, who had disguised himself at the auction, and now he had to pursue them to verify.
Zhang Luo flew in front of the group, revealing his mountain-like massive form and blocking their path.
"What exactly do you want?"
Huang Feifei was furious and stood in front of Xiao Fei.
"Heh heh heh! Nothing much. Just hand over this fish, and you may leave."
The giant octopus extended a tentacle as thick as a water bucket, reaching for Fei Yu, who was hiding behind Xiao Fei.
Seeing an opportunity, Zhu Yu secretly prepared to escape. But at that moment, a familiar voice echoed in his mind.
"Zhu Yu, you useless fool, don't even think about escaping! Fight with us, and we'll have a seafood feast tonight!"
Upon hearing this voice, Zhu Yu almost cried.
"Finally, I've found the organization!"
After transmitting his voice, Xiao Fei personally removed the restrictions on Zhu Yu, fed him a healing pill, and slipped him a magical artifact.
Zhu Yu accepted the artifact, began to recover his mana, and familiarize himself with it.
Meanwhile, Huang Feifei had already engaged the giant octopus in battle.
In the ocean, the giant octopus held a distinct geographical advantage, forcing Huang Feifei into a defensive stance, barely holding on and in grave danger.
Xiao Fei then took out a bow and arrow, channeling his mana into it. A spiritual energy arrow instantly took shape.
"Swoosh!"
The spiritual energy arrow shot out, piercing one of the giant octopus's large tentacles and creating a bloody hole.
The blasted hole looked terrifying, but for the octopus's massive size, it was merely a minor injury.
However, it did grant Huang Feifei an opening, relieving her from the passive defensive situation.
On the other side, Zhu Yu was still recovering his strength and had not yet made a move. Fei Yu remained in his three-foot-long carp form, observing from a distance.
Xiao Fei's first arrow was successful. He then continuously drew the bowstring, shooting arrows whenever Huang Feifei and the giant octopus created an opening, thus restraining the octopus's power.
The coordination between the two momentarily allowed them to fight the giant octopus to a standstill.
Just then, a white sword light suddenly rose from above Zhu Yu, who had been standing dazed, and slashed towards the giant octopus.
The white light sliced through, severing one of the giant octopus's tentacles. A large amount of blue blood sprayed out, dyeing a vast expanse of the surrounding sea blue.
"Damn it, to dare sever one of my limbs, I will make you pay!"
The giant octopus was enraged. It racked its brain, unable to comprehend why this human slave, who had only just been purchased, would not seize the chance to escape but instead fight with all his might.
An octopus has nine brains, three hearts, and eight tentacles. For every severed limb, its overall strength decreases by half a percent.
Just as the giant octopus was injured and in a weakened state, Huang Feifei's flying sword struck.
"Ah!"
Another octopus tentacle was severed at the root.
The two severed tentacles writhed wildly in the seawater as Xiao Fei unleashed his full power.
A five-colored lightning ball, the size of a millstone, instantly appeared before him and shot towards the giant octopus.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar echoed from the seabed. Surrounded by five-colored lightning, the giant octopus thrashed wildly, its entire body trembling from the electrical shocks, rendering it immobile for the moment.
Before the first ball of lightning dissipated, Xiao Fei launched his second, then his third, fourth...
Since continuously eliminating a large number of demonic seeds and ridding the immortal cultivation world of a menace, Xiao Fei's greatest gain had been the growth of his Golden Thunder Spirit.
The Primordial Divine Thunder, now summoned using the Thunder Spirit, had long surpassed the power of a Golden Core.
Taking advantage of Xiao Fei's lightning attack that had immobilized the giant octopus, Huang Feifei and Zhu Yu unleashed their techniques again, with several attacks striking the giant octopus simultaneously.
The giant octopus's massive body was torn apart at that moment.
Almost simultaneously, three Nascent Souls flew out from the giant octopus's mangled body, heading in three different directions.
In this sudden turn of events, Xiao Fei only managed to unleash one Primordial Divine Thunder, hitting one Nascent Soul.
Huang Feifei also only managed to kill one Nascent Soul.
As for Zhu Yu, after unleashing two desperate ultimate moves, he was already so exhausted he could barely stand and was incapable of launching another attack.
Seeing the giant octopus's Nascent Souls about to escape, Fei Yu finally moved.
Fei Yu's body surged forward at an incredible speed, instantly surpassing the speed of sound, pursuing the fleeing octopus Nascent Souls.
However, Nascent Souls could use teleportation, making their speed no less than Fei Yu's, perhaps even slightly faster.
But Fei Yu did not give up. He opened his mouth, and a water arrow shot out, piercing the fleeing Nascent Soul ahead.
Fei Yu then sucked with his large mouth. The Nascent Soul, just killed and its spiritual energy yet to dissipate, was drawn into his mouth and swallowed in one gulp.
Thus, a hegemon of the ocean met its demise, leaving behind only a pile of scattered octopus limbs as proof of its existence.
Xiao Fei and Huang Feifei quickly collected the giant octopus's corpse.
As for Zhu Yu, having unleashed his ultimate moves with full force twice, he was now completely drained and unable to help in any way.
After swallowing a Nascent Soul, Fei Yu seemed to be too full, his belly now white and upturned.
Xiao Fei pocketed a blue demon core and, with a casual gesture, collected Fei Yu into his space. He then helped Zhu Yu up and swam away into the distance.
