If a large number of Bloodthirsty Swordfish had been outside the Cultivation Shell from the start, it would have been very conspicuous.
So the Bloodthirsty Swordfish had deliberately scattered, leaving only a few individuals to watch the Cultivation Shell Bai Sha was in.
When Bai Sha finally left, the Bloodthirsty Swordfish watching her would naturally alert the others quickly through the Dream Ruins.
Bai Sha had even spotted Jian Yun’s figure appearing.
But outwardly, she pretended to be completely oblivious, still swimming unhurriedly towards the edge of the Seven-Colored Shell.
Cool seawater flowed slowly around her body, accompanied by the ceaseless rushing sound of water.
As she swam outwards, an idea struck Bai Sha. She entered the communication interface, opened the Chat Section, and searched for information about the Bloodthirsty Swordfish Clan.
She had just been casually searching without much expectation, but she actually found a relevant post.
_How to View the Bloodthirsty Swordfish Clan Constantly Killing Demon Cultivators Who Practice the Raging Waves Art?_
Bai Sha opened the post.
The post first explained the origin of the Raging Waves Art. It said that before a Demon Core stage Demon Cultivator perished, they deliberately passed it on to five of their subordinates, only one of whom was a Bloodthirsty Swordfish.
After that Demon Core stage cultivator’s death, the five subordinates formed their own five clans and coexisted peacefully for a time.
But later, for unknown reasons—perhaps selfishness, perhaps some other grudge—the Bloodthirsty Swordfish Clan secretly acted, using ambush tactics to kill the Demon Cultivators of the other four clans. In this way, they ensured the Raging Waves Art became a technique exclusive to the Bloodthirsty Swordfish Clan.
The numerous replies in the post expressed condemnation and contempt for the Bloodthirsty Swordfish’s actions, but everyone could only condemn them in the Chat Section; no one would actually do anything about it in reality.
Looking at this information, Bai Sha gained a bit more understanding of the Bloodthirsty Swordfish Clan.
“It’s almost time to leave.”
Bai Sha pulled her attention back and looked ahead. She had reached the edge of the Seven-Colored Shell. She forcefully slapped her tail fin, slightly increasing her speed, and shot directly out into the sea.
The Bloodthirsty Swordfish behind her followed one after another.
Once she left the Seven-Colored Shell, combat would be permissible.
However, normally, battles wouldn’t occur too close to the Seven-Colored Shell, as it would attract the attention of too many Demon Cultivators inside. Too much attention could lead to unforeseen variables. So generally, if a fight broke out, it would happen further away.
It seemed the Bloodthirsty Swordfish were also unwilling to act immediately upon leaving the Seven-Colored Shell; they still followed from a distance.
Bai Sha discreetly glanced behind her, then continued on her way.
Before long, the Seven-Colored Shell was no longer visible behind her. Ahead of Bai Sha, a vast area of seagrass appeared.
This place was called Seagrass Slope. The lush green seagrass, each blade two to three meters long, grew closely together, filling the large area ahead like a seagrass forest.
Bai Sha swam through quickly, the current she stirred causing the seagrass to sway back and forth, startling the small fish and shrimp hiding within into fleeing.
Just then, Bai Sha sensed urgent water currents approaching from behind.
‘Can’t hold back anymore?’
Bai Sha turned around to look.
She saw one Bloodthirsty Swordfish after another rapidly slicing through the waves towards her, no longer bothering to hide their intent, their gazes fixed intently on her.
“Gurgle! Gurgle!”
Amid the rapidly flowing currents, over a dozen Bloodthirsty Swordfish charged up close, surrounding Bai Sha.
Looking at the many Bloodthirsty Swordfish, Bai Sha asked calmly, “What do you want?”
From among the Bloodthirsty Swordfish, Jian Yun swam out.
He was the largest among them, his blood-tinged body exuding a sense of pressure.
Bai Sha recognized him at a glance. He was just as she had seen in her first and third lives: arrogance in his eyes, a condescending attitude.
“Speak. Where did your cultivation art come from?” Jian Yun said coldly.
“Where my cultivation art comes from… what does that have to do with you?”
“Of course it does! This is the cultivation art of our Bloodthirsty Swordfish Clan!”
“Did the Bloodthirsty Swordfish create it?”
“Is that important?” Jian Yun’s gaze grew even colder. “Whoever created it, this art now belongs to the Bloodthirsty Swordfish Clan. Tell us clearly how you obtained this art, and I can let you die a little easier.”
He made no effort to conceal his intent to kill Bai Sha.
Seeing this, Bai Sha also stopped pretending. “Who kills whom is not yet decided.”
The moment these words fell from Bai Sha’s lips, Yu Ye, who had long been hiding among the many seagrass blades of Seagrass Slope, made his move.
“Crack!”
Accompanied by the emergence of a purple bolt of lightning, before Bai Sha could even see what happened clearly, the lightning had already appeared right beside Jian Yun. It struck him mercilessly.
Jian Yun would never have imagined an ambush here. Caught completely off guard, he was sent flying on the spot.
Before Jian Yun’s body could stabilize in the water, the lightning shot out again, chasing him and striking him with more lightning. Blinding arcs of electricity flickered incessantly over Jian Yun’s body, forcing a violent scream from him.
This sudden turn of events stupefied the other Bloodthirsty Swordfish.
Bai Sha watched this scene with sparkling eyes.
Within the lightning, a black Purple Horn Electric Eel materialized—it was precisely Yu Ye.
“Die!”
Yu Ye’s tone was utterly flat. Lightning surged from the purple horn on his forehead, transforming into a shockwave that blasted against Jian Yun once more.
Amid the blinding flash of electricity, Jian Yun’s body became charred black. An acrid burnt smell, uncontainable even underwater, spread as he was blasted to death on the spot.
After finishing off Jian Yun, Yu Ye turned his attention to the remaining Bloodthirsty Swordfish.
“Crack!”
He directly transformed into a bolt of lightning, shooting forward. Trails of electricity flowed as they rapidly landed on the Bloodthirsty Swordfish one after another, eliciting a chorus of screams.
In just the blink of an eye, all the Bloodthirsty Swordfish had been reduced to charred husks, sinking into the sea.
After eliminating all the Bloodthirsty Swordfish, Yu Ye, wreathed in lightning, appeared before Bai Sha.
“Miss Bai Sha, it’s all taken care of.”
As he spoke, Yu Ye also appraised Bai Sha.
Although they had communicated quite a bit, this was their first time meeting face to face, and Yu Ye was somewhat curious about her.
“Thank you very much. Now I have no more worries.” Bai Sha thanked Yu Ye, then added, “The fee for hiring a Late Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator shouldn’t be low, right? I’ll leave all the spoils of war from these Bloodthirsty Swordfish to you. Combined with the previous matter, from now on, sir, you won’t owe me anything anymore.”
