Yi Feng was just about to ask Shen Ying about it when suddenly a brilliant light lit up the sky. Bai Ze’s body emitted a blinding light, which like the rays of a blazing sun, immediately dispelled the surrounding darkness. Yi Feng’s chest relaxed as the pressure from the aura pressing him vanished.
The light from Bai Ze’s body grew increasingly brighter until suddenly he underwent a startling transformation. His body, which had been clad in snow-white robes turned into that of a huge beast. Its fur was of the purest white and it had a shiny horn on his head. It crouched forwards on its limbs and leaped straight at the black wyrm in the sky.
“Oh, it’s that white furball!” exclaimed Shen Ying as she gawked at the great white beast in the sky.
“…” Yi Feng’s mouth twitched. What the hell was a furball? Seeing no way to conceal the matter any longer, he explained, “This divine beast is Spirit Master Bai Ze. He has been living in my Yi Family’s Myriad Beast Peak for ten thousand years, defending the three Azure worlds from invasion by Mirage Sea beasts.”
“Oh,” Shen Ying nodded. With an innocent look, she asked, “Are there any others?”
“Huh! Huh?” Yi Feng was confused. What others?
“Hmmm… Others that are suitable for eating.”
Yi Feng: “…”
What she means is suitable for beast control, right? Yes, I’m sure that’s what she means!
Yi Feng gave her a friendly warning, “Divine beasts aren’t easily controlled by humans.”
“I don’t mean…” She did not want to control beasts, she just wanted to eat them.
Shen Ying was about to explain what she meant when the beast and wyrm that had been locked in combat finally descended from the clouds. Standing at opposite ends of the sky, both had changed back to their human forms; just that the wyrm still retained characteristics of its animal body— he was clad in a black robe and had a horn on his head. His face was covered in black stripes and his body emitted a black Q similar to that enveloping that windbag from the pagoda.
“Demonic aura!” Yi Feng exclaimed, looking with disbelieving eyes at the black figure in the sky. “He’s a Demonic Wyrm… He’s not a spirit beast, he’s a demon beast!”
“Demon beast?” Shen Ying was confused. Was this a tribe or an alliance?
“Bai Ze!” Before she could ask, the Wyrm Demon suddenly spoke. Glancing at Bai Ze with a menacing expression, he sneered, “I didn’t expect you to enter the Mirage Sea.”
Bai Ze frowned and his face darkened. After a while, he acknowledged the other coolly, “Demonic Wyrm.”
“So you still remember me,” The Wyrm Demon laughed coldly as the murderous intent in his eyes intensified.” In our previous encounters, you were on land, so I couldn’t defeat you. Now by coming here, you deliver yourself to your enemy. Just as well, I can pay you back for the injuries you caused me ten thousand years ago.”
“You’re not my match,” Bai Ze said while still wearing that cold look.
“We’ll see!” Snorting coldly, he suddenly waved his hand. The sea water beneath his feet bubbled and seethed, and suddenly, huge black figures broke through the water surface.
Now they could see clearly that these creatures were all high level spirit beasts, and all of them were floating on the sea behind the Wyrm Demon, like a huge army of spirit beasts.
“Marines,” said Bai Ze, frowning.
“Beast Tide!” Yi Feng was also shocked when he saw the whole sea packed with spirit beasts.
He had not expected the Demonic Wyrm to summon such a huge beast tide army, and that all of them were Marines.
Cultivators usually sought to contract spirit beasts that lived on land. Marines, which had more restrictions, were deemed unsuitable for contracting. Moreover, they made poor warriors on land. But it was a different story when they were in the sea; the Mirage Sea is obviously their natural battle ground.
“Hahaha…” The Wyrm Demon laughed arrogantly.” Bai Ze, even if you’re a Divine Beast, there’s no way you can overcome my marine race army. Besides…” He paused for a moment, sweeping his gaze over to Shen Ying and Yi Feng. “Weren’t you always protective of humans, refusing to let the beast tribes come close to land? I wonder if you can still protect these two cultivators when we start our battle?”
Bai Ze frowned. Then with a wave of his hands, he conjured up thousands of lightning bolts, which he directed towards his opponent.
“Hmmph!” The Wyrm Demon snorted coldly. Demonic aura immediately emanated from his body, warding off the lightning bolts. Glancing down at the Marines, he ordered with a wave of his hand, “Kill them!”
Boom! A gigantic surf rolled up from the sea until it covered half the sky. Waves upon waves of marine race spirit beasts charged towards the two.
Bai Ze’s face changed. He transformed once again back to his original form. His body emanated a dazzling white light. He emitted a suppression aura in a bid to prevent the Beast Tide from advancing. However, that proved useless. This army of Marines, who were clearly under the influence of the Wyrm Demon’s demonic aura, forged on regardless.
“Shen Ying…” Bai Ze wanted to fly over to her side but the Demonic Wyrm once again blocked his way.
Today was not his lucky day! Yi Feng’s face turned pale, and he quickly summoned his spirit sword and gripped it tightly in his hand. Then he turned to face the dense waves of spirit beasts that were advancing towards them.
The Beast Tide was about to wash over them. Their ears were filled with the maniacal laughter of the Wyrm Demon, “Hahaha, I’m going to cut you into a thousand pieces…”
“Director, please lend me your sword.” Before the Wyrm Demon completed his sentence, Shen Ying suddenly reached out and took the spirit sword from Yi Feng.
“Huh?” Before Yi Feng could react, he felt his collar tighten, then his feet left the ground, and he found himself suddenly behind the sword. At the same time, Shen Ying stood in front of the sword.
“Sect Master Shen…”
As Yi Feng opened his mouth to speak, Shen Ying shouted at the top of her voice, “For the alliance!”
With that, she thrust the sword out and a long beam of light shot out at great speed towards the Beast Tide. Earth and sky seemed to be cleaved in two by the beam. Then came an ear-splitting, cracking sound. The entire army of ferocious spirit beasts were collectively severed at their waists. The bisected torsos fell into the sea like dumplings into a pot, creating huge waves that dyed the entire sea red.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Beast Tide was eradicated!

Yi Feng: “…”
The Demonic Wyrm: “…”
Bai Ze: “…”
Was this… Sword Qi?!
With her usual calmness, Shen Ying twirled the sword in her hand and pointed it toward the wyrm in the sky. Cocking her head at him, she asked, “How many pieces did you say?”
“…”
(இдஇ)
Demonic Wyrm: Mama, I want to go home!

Two minutes later…
The sea was a bed of calm.
“It’s afternoon already, time for our meal.” Shen Ying nudged a certain someone still in a
Daze.” Director, don’t you provide food on your tours?”
“Huh? Huh!” Yi Feng turned to glance at her but his eyes were still unfocused. The look on his face seemed to say: Who am I? Where am I?
“Hai, forget it!” Shen Ying felt shortchanged; she thought she would get to eat good meals on this trip. Apparently Yi Feng was not as savvy as the masochist’s father. As she sighed, her eyes alighted on the severed animal body parts on the shore that had been washed up by the tide.
Suddenly a bell rang in her head.
Huh?
“So much… seafood!”
