490 Battling The West Sea sea monsters

Liu Chuchu retreated with all her might, but the seahorse's silver spear stabbed forward faster than she was able to retreat!

Right at this moment, a blue film of light appeared before Liu Chuchu.

The two Gundams had entered the fray!

Boom!

The spear collided with the Ionic Deprivation Protection Formation with a resounding boom.

Energy exploded forth, and the spear was ultimately able to pierce through the film of blue light.

However, that moment of delay was enough for Liu Chuchu to escape to a hundred meters away. She drew her bow again as a series of pink arrows shot forth.

The arrows were extraordinarily quick, leaving the seahorse no time to dodge.

A huge barrier of water rose before the seahorse at this moment.

Boom boom boom!

The arrows created a series of splashes on the barrier of water.

However, the barrier remained as resolute as a steel board, keeping all the arrows at bay.

An elderly yet calm and collected voice sounded, "Oh? Does she have some helpers?

"You won't be able to escape anyway. My golden stone space is ready and this will be your final resting place!"

A huge sea turtle flew over to the seahorse's side before landing with a thump. It then spat out a golden stone, which flew into the air as golden light burst forth.

Immediately afterward, An Lin and Liu Chuchu were both instantly engulfed within a golden space five hundred meters in radius.

"Wow! What a huge tortoise! This tortoise is much bigger than any I've ever seen!" Tina stared up at the sea turtle with astonishment.

An Lin pursed his lips. "That's a sea turtle, not a tortoise!"

"Ohhh, what did it say just now? Why can't I understand it? Is that sea turtle language?" Tina asked with curiosity on her face.

"That's Tai Chu Language." An Lin rolled his eyes.

"Lies! What we're speaking now is Tai Chu Language!" Tina retorted with her hands on her hips.

An Lin shook his head. "You don't know sh*t! What we're speaking now is the Ancient Man Language!"

Tina opened her mouth but did not rebut An Lin's statement. After all, An Lin's vast experience and knowledge made her feel like an ignorant hillbilly in comparison, so she decided to trust An Lin on whatever he said.

Liu Chuchu had also discovered the little fairy beside An Lin. They were still conversing in an unknown language in this dire situation, and she was starting to panic a little. "Mr. An Lin, we're trapped in this golden stone space. If you can't battle, I won't be able to hold on, even with the help of those two silver mechanical puppets!"

Just as she said this, the two Gundams were blasted into the ground by the lightning seahorse, while the huge sea turtle was flying toward Liu Chuchu.

"Don't worry, you still have the little fairy to help you out," An Lin said as he consoled her.

"Little fairy?"

Liu Chuchu turned to look at the tiny fairy who was around the size of a mosquito.

"Go, Little Na, now is the time for you to shine!" An Lin announced.

Whoosh!

The sea turtle spat out a wave of water toward An Lin and Liu Chuchu, which quickly expanded into a massive wave over a thousand feet tall before crashing down upon them.

"Holy Judgement—Astra Holy Slash!" [note to editor: Astra is appropriate, it's not a misspelling of astral.][a]

Tina raised her arms high into the air as a silver longsword flew into the sky with unbridled sharpness, which made the space around it tremor, before slashing down upon the huge wave!

The silver longsword parted the huge wave with boundless might before continuing onward to the sea turtle.

An expression of shock appeared on the sea turtle's face, and it instantly withdrew its head into its shell.

Boom!

The terrifying sword projection crashed into the turtle shell, where it left a deep mark before knocking the sea turtle several hundred meters back.

Liu Chuchu widened her eyes in shock, and even the seahorse that was preparing to attack was given a fright.

This tiny fairy… she was so powerful!

An Lin nodded with a content expression. Tina was a lot stronger now compared to when she battled An Lin.

Tina had just returned from slaying the demonic dragon at that time, and she had to cope with the curse within her body. Even then, she was still able to exhibit power comparable to a cultivator at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage. Now that she was fully recovered, her strength naturally also received a boost.

Liu Chuchu's eyes burned with renewed hope as she turned to Tina. "Little fairy, can you hold off these two sea monsters for ten seconds while I prepare a spell technique?"

An Lin acted as Tina's interpreter, and Tina nodded after hearing Liu Chuchu's request. "I'll do my best."

Liu Chuchu took a deep breath as a sharp gaze returned to her eyes.

She slowly drew her pink longbow, and an extremely powerful aura slowly began to build around her body.

The seahorse knew that it couldn't allow Liu Chuchu to unleash whatever technique she was preparing.

Tina materialized a white holy light sword before charging toward the seahorse.

"Piss off!" the seahorse roared as lightning exploded forth around its spear.

Tina pursed her lips as the sword projections from her light sword created an impenetrable net around herself, thereby keeping the seahorse's attacks at bay.

Three seconds later, a pink energy arrow had already fully materialized. However, the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth was still flowing relentlessly into the arrow as its hue became darker and darker while its energy fluctuations continued to increase in strength.

An Lin turned toward Liu Chuchu with astonishment on his face. He felt like he was looking at a legendary bird soaring through the skies while it stared down upon its prey.

At this moment, Liu Chuchu appeared completely different from her previous sorry state. She had transformed into the perfect huntress, as if she were a death god that was standing above the heavens, ready to harvest her opponents' lives at a moment's notice.

As expected of a student that was able to enter the University Famous Persons Register. She was the most powerful cultivator within her cohort, and she was certainly living up to her name now.

Whoosh…

Ten seconds later, a small, crimson arrow appeared in the center of the pink energy arrow and its tip glowed with a fearsome crimson light.

"Divine Technique—Bloodline-Tracking Demonic Arrow!"

The arrow pierced through the air upon Liu Chuchu's light cry.

The pink arrow glowed with crimson light as it tore through the air at terrifying speed toward the seahorse's head.

The seahorse reacted extremely quickly as lightning exploded forth around its body, and it instantly moved several hundred meters to the side.

Whoosh!

The pink arrow suddenly diverted from its original course to fly toward the seahorse's head again while the crimson light flashed.

A chill ran down the seahorse's spine as an extremely fearsome sense of impending doom enveloped its entire body.

"Begone!"

It roared as lightning exploded forth from its silver spear before stabbing out toward the arrow. The spear flew and stabbed forward at alarming speed; it was on a collision course with the arrow.

However, right at this moment, the arrow suddenly disappeared.

"An illusion?" The seahorse blinked in confusion.

Thump!

In the next instant, its head exploded into a cloud of blood mist, and the fearsome power within the arrow shredded its consciousness into oblivion.

Red-veined patterns then began to spread throughout the seahorse's body like a system of blood vessels.

Boom!

The seahorse's body exploded into an even larger cloud of blood mist.

An Lin's eyes widened in shock. What kind of f*cking archery technique was this?

Could it be spatial skip? But how could she unleash a spatial skip technique before reaching the Return to Void Stage?

But then again, An Lin himself was able to tear through space with his Realm-Piercing Nail, so it was understandable that Liu Chuchu was capable of something similar…

Liu Chuchu's features paled slightly after unleashing that arrow, and her eyes surveyed the battlefield before her in confusion. "Huh? Where's the sea turtle?"

An Lin faltered slightly as well upon hearing this. "True, where IS the sea turtle?"

Not only was the sea turtle gone, but the golden barrier had also disappeared.

Liu Chuchu looked around one last time before pursing her lips in disdain. "It escaped. What a cowardly turtle…"

Several dozen kilometers away, a sea turtle was quickly retreating into the distance with a golden stone in its mouth.

"Two mechanical puppets, one powerful fairy, and one ultra-powerful archer… Our chances of securing victory are less than fifty percent. Both of us would die if we lose the battle.

"If we escape at the same time, there is a thirty percent chance that the seahorse would die and a twenty percent chance that I would die.

"However, if I escape on my own, I would have a hundred percent chance of survival… It's a no-brainer…

"Developing some fortune-telling skills is the key to a long life!

"Don't worry, Brother Seahorse, I'll avenge you someday!"

The sea turtle's voice reverberated throughout the air as its huge body disappeared into the clouds above.
