"Pu pu pu pu pu!"
The once-calm blood-red sea surface was no longer calm at all. Countless figures shot upward toward the open sky like reverse-flowing meteors, and as they streaked across the sky, they churned up straight columns of water behind them — like dragons bursting from the sea, an extraordinary spectacle.
"Boom!"
However, people had still underestimated the ferocious beast's power. Just as everyone reached the sky above, a violent suction force erupted from within the sea, and in its wake, a massive vortex appeared on the surface of the blood-red ocean.
The vortex churned and rumbled as it spun, its area still expanding as it went, churning the blood-red seawater into utter chaos.
Moreover, the vortex didn't just whip the sea's surface — its tremendous suction force blanketed the sky above as well.
"Uwaaah~~~~~~"
At that moment, even though people were hovering in midair, none could escape the powerful suction rising from the depths of the sea. Every last one of them was bound by the force and began plummeting downward, dragged one by one into the churning water.
In an instant, all manner of wailing and desperate screams rang out, one after another. Faced with the ferocious beast's overwhelming power, everyone was terrified — the composure they had shown before was long gone.
"Boom!"
But just when things looked dire, a deafening crack of thunder suddenly erupted from the sky. At the same time, a hundred beautiful figures materialized in midair — it was Yafei and her contingent.
"How dare you, vile creature, cause havoc here still! Today, I will see you brought to justice!"
Yafei's robes fluttered in the wind as her imposing aura radiated outward. Though her seductive charm remained undiminished, a sharp, heroic edge now graced her brow — though what onlookers perceived as heroic resolve, Chu Feng recognized as sheer ruthlessness. It was clear that this island lord's fiancée was no ordinary character; she was a truly formidable one.
"Heavenly Attraction Formation of All Things!"
Suddenly, Yafei bellowed, and above her head, a colossal silver vortex rapidly expanded. The moment the silver vortex appeared, a tremendous suction force surged outward, pulling every person who had already fallen into the sea back up, depositing them safely atop the silver vortex hovering in midair.
"Remarkable skill." Even Chu Feng was startled upon seeing this. It wasn't a defensive barrier technique — it was a martial art. But he had to admit, the martial art Yafei had unleashed was indeed more powerful than the vortex the ferocious beast had created.
In the blink of an eye, Yafei had used this technique to draw everyone present into the silver vortex that stood suspended in the sky, placing them all in safety.
"Boom!"
Just as Yafei had rescued everyone, the center of the vortex in the sea suddenly exploded, and a figure burst out from it in a shower of debris.
It stood over two meters tall, its entire body draped in water weeds. Its blood-red eyes blazed brighter than lanterns, radiating endless malice — and Chu Feng recognized it at a single glance: this was the creature that harvested cultivators.
"Oooooooh~~~~"
The moment the ferocious beast appeared, it let out an unearthly roar. A wave of violent aura erupted from its body, condensing into a semi-transparent blade that was part sword, part drill. Several meters long and still rapidly expanding, it shot straight toward Yafei.
"A fifth-level Martial Lord? Then you've already lost."
Sensing the aura the ferocious beast emanated, Yafei was not the least bit afraid — instead, she smiled with delight. As a fellow fifth-level Martial Lord, she appeared to possess absolute confidence that she could defeat the creature.
Facing the blade forged of martial power that hurtled toward her, Yafei remained composed and unhurried, not bothering to counterattack. Only when the blade reached right in front of her did she extend her delicate, porcelain-white hand and grab hold of the razor-sharp edge that crackled with immense martial power.
