Chapter 264 A Great Defeat to Cang Yuan
Cangyuan's spiritual power swept across the battlefield. The Abyss Python King sank to the bottom of the sea, the Giant Squid floated above its head, and a giant whale floated belly up in the remaining water of the whirlpool.
In less than three minutes, all three sixth-tier beast kings were dead.
Meanwhile, Song Chen's spiritual energy fluctuations remained stable, and golden-purple arcs of electricity still danced on the edge of the Tianjun Blade, the blade remaining spotless and untouched by blood.
Cangyuan realized he had made a mistake.
It assumed that Song Chen had only recently broken through to the sixth rank and that his combat power wouldn't be too high.
It thought the deep-sea environment could suppress human performance, and it thought that with five against one, it could win no matter what.
All wrong.
"You..." Cang Yuan's voice came from his spiritual power, lacking the initial confidence and filled with disbelief and shock.
"You were only at Rank 5 when you were in Japan, how could you have broken through to Rank 6 so quickly?"
"This is none of your business. Go ahead and die."
Song Chen replied with a fierce expression.
Cangyuan's gills opened and closed violently, and he asked again, "There must be something on you."
"Yes, there is, but it has nothing to do with you."
As he spoke, Song Chen moved.
This time, the target is the last giant whale.
The giant whale was already retreating.
Its spirit was filled with fear; it had just watched as its companion was dissected and killed, piece by piece, along its veins.
In just a moment, Song Chen caught up with it.
The giant whale opened its mouth in despair, preparing to unleash its last wisp of psionic energy into a water cannon.
Song Chen squeezed inside before its mouth closed.
Three seconds later, a hole exploded in the whale's back.
Song Chen emerged from the gap cut by the Heavenly Blade, bringing with him a cloud of blood mist and shattered bones.
The giant whale's massive body began to sink, and the psionic energy fluctuations completely dissipated from its body.
Song Chen turned around and faced the abyss.
A man and a dragon confront each other in the deep sea.
The cliffs on both sides of the trench have been half-shaved off by the whirlpools, and the seabed is covered with rubble.
The corpses of the Abyss Python King, the giant squid, and two giant whales were scattered all around, and the blood spread in the seawater, forming a dark red mist.
Cangyuan didn't run away because it knew that running away from Song Chen was tantamount to handing its back to a master-level swordsman.
The fate of the Abyss Python King just now has shown that if you don't run, you can still fight; if you run, you'll just be chased and killed.
Its dark blue scales stood upright, a sign that the sea dragons were entering battle mode. The barbs on the edges of each scale were spread out, and its entire body became a moving mountain of knives.
Four bony claws simultaneously gripped the seabed rocks, carving four deep furrows into the basalt.
Seawater began to condense around it, layer upon layer, compressing it to almost a solid state.
The strongest defense of the Sea Dragon Clan: Deep Sea Heavy Water Armor.
"Human, I am Cang Yuan, the second son of the Sea Dragon King, and the commander of the East China Sea War Zone."
Its spiritual tone carried an ancient arrogance.
"You are not the first human to challenge the Sea Dragon Clan in the deep sea. The last one was Zhou Wangyue. He fought me for half an hour before being seriously injured and escaping."
"You won't be an exception."
Having said that, Cang Yuan made his move.
The deep-sea heavy water armor condensed six water shields around its body, each of which was formed by compressing a layer of high-pressure water with a density close to that of a solid.
It opened its mouth, and a ghostly blue light shone from its throat—the Water Dragon Cannon.
The Cangyuan's water cannon and the Ironbone Whale are not the same thing.
Ironbone Whale's water cannon uses water pressure to smash people, while Azure Abyss's water cannon uses highly compressed water-based psionic energy. When it hits a target, it not only has an amazing impact force, but it also explodes upon contact, injecting psionic damage into the target's body.
The first water cannon shot was fired.
The water dragon cannon has a diameter of over twenty meters and a psionic density so high that it creates a vacuum around the cannonball in the seawater.
Song Chen dodged to the side, the water cannon grazing his breastplate and striking the cliff behind him.
The entire cliff face was blasted open, creating a hole 800 meters in diameter. The shockwave shattered the surrounding basalt into fragments.
The second water cannon has arrived.
Cangyuan doesn't fire single shots, but in bursts. Its gills can simultaneously absorb psionic particles to replenish its energy, and the water dragon cannon's firing rate far exceeds that of human psionic turrets.
Song Chen stopped dodging. He raised his sword and unleashed the seventh strike of the Seven Heavenly Thunder Slashes.
The crimson-gold sword energy and the water dragon cannon collided in the seawater, and the center of the explosion created a vacuum sphere with a diameter of 100 meters.
Song Chen entered from the edge of the vacuum sphere, and Fuyao led him around the area with the strongest impact of the explosion, appearing on the left side of Cangyuan.
The Heavenly Blade slashed towards the joint of Cang Yuan's left forelimb.
Cangyuan did not dodge. Its left forelimb was covered with heavy water armor. The blade energy of Tianjun Blade only cut three meters before being blocked by the water layer.
A depth of three meters is nothing to the 1,100-meter-long abyss; it doesn't even break its skin.
Cangyuan's counterattack arrived simultaneously.
Its tail swept across, its speed unimpeded underwater.
Song Chen raised his sword to parry, but the force from the tail of the blade was transmitted to him through the blade, sending him flying. He tumbled in the sea for hundreds of meters before regaining his footing.
Song Chen's hands went numb. If it weren't for the cushioning effect of the Northern Darkness Armor, the force of that tail strike would have broken at least three of his bones.
The Sea Dragon Clan is indeed quite capable.
Cang Yuan gave him no chance to breathe. The six heavy water shields simultaneously dispersed, transforming into thousands of water needles that pierced Song Chen from all directions.
Each water needle is only the thickness of a finger, but its psionic density is high enough to pierce through an S-class battle armor.
This is the most insidious killing move of the Sea Dragon Clan, with no blind spots.
Song Chen spread out the lightning field.
The thunder from the heavens exploded in the deep sea, creating a spherical electric field that vaporized all the water needles.
The high-pressure water needles turned into steam within the lightning field, with bubbles surging and obscuring the perception of both parties.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Cangyuan changed its position, swimming from the bottom of the sea trench to the top, occupying a high position, and recharging the water dragon cannon in its throat.
But Song Chen's Eye of Truth could see through the bubbles, and he found Cang Yuan's weakness.
Under the Eye of Truth, the body structure of the Sea Dragon Clan reveals a complete path of spiritual energy circulation, with all water-based abilities ultimately converging at the gills.
The six rows of gills are the organs through which the Sea Dragons extract psychic energy, and also the hub for the circulation of psychic energy.
If one of Cangyuan's gills is damaged, half of his water-based abilities will be lost.
Song Chen burst out of the bubble, and Fuyao carried him in a spiral trajectory, dodging the three water dragon cannons fired by Cangyuan.
His speed underwater exceeded 2,000 kilometers per hour. His master-level control over the water flow allowed him to make instantaneous changes of direction at high speeds, turning left, right, rolling, and diving. Each change of direction caused Cang Yuan's predictions to fail.
He crawled between the first and second rows of gills on the right side of the abyss.
This position is a blind spot for Cangyuan's attacks.
The sea dragon's tail couldn't reach, and its limbs couldn't bend in.
Cangyuan sensed the danger, its gills snapped shut, and the bony spikes on the edges popped outwards, attempting to crush Song Chen.
Song Chen underwent surgery before the bone spur closed.
Pure golden blade energy erupted from the Heavenly Blade, pouring into the depths of the gills and impacting in reverse along the spiritual energy channel, blasting open the layers of spiritual energy extraction tissue inside the gills.
Cangyuan let out a heart-wrenching roar, and simultaneously sprayed out dark blue blood from the three rows of gills on its right side.
The operation of the water-based superpower was interrupted at that moment.
The heavy water armor on Cangyuan's body began to disintegrate, and the six water shields scattered into ordinary seawater.
It shook its head frantically, trying to shake Song Chen off.
Before Song Chen was thrown out, he stabbed her again inside the gills.
The golden blade energy poured into the depths of Cangyuan's gills, blasting all the way to his chest cavity through the spiritual energy channel.
The roar of the abyss turned into a howl, its body began to convulse uncontrollably, and its tail thrashed wildly in the seawater, smashing the cliff walls of the sea trench to pieces.
But it did not die.
The vitality of the sea dragons far surpasses that of other sea beasts.
