"Don't cross this line!"

Zhang Kui spoke casually, but his voice, imbued with mana, reverberated like muffled thunder throughout the entire coastal area.

The sea surface fell into an immediate silence...

Both sides, initially embroiled in conflict, halted.

The densely packed red eyes on the sea glared over with vicious malice, extremely terrifying.

Zhang Kui gave a cold snort, spat, and leisurely took a few sips from his wine gourd.

On the shore, the Chen family was dumbfounded.

"Hahaha..."

The man with the sinister gaze laughed so hard his face twisted, "This Zhang doesn't know his place, daring to be so arrogant. Today, he is destined to meet his end. Elder, we..."

He was speaking excitedly when he saw Zhang Kui on the sea notice something and turned an icy gaze in their direction.

The Chen family instantly felt chills all over.

"Hahaha..."

The blue-haired Sea Race youth, covered in blood from battle, laughed maniacally and mocked, "Heichi Yuan, you're usually so domineering, yet today you've been scorned by a human, tomorrow you'll definitely be the joke of the East Sea!"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Kui and said aloud:

"Cultivator of the human race, if you don't die today, you may serve under my East Sea Water Mansion."

Zhang Kui glanced sideways and said casually:

"You too, don't cross this line!"

Uh...

The blue-haired youth was rendered speechless, a flicker of anger in his eyes. He glanced at the Sea Demon Race, suppressing his words.

"Such audacity!"

Several massive shadows broke through the waves.

It turned out that a few Divine Travel Realm sea demons were hidden beneath the sea, each over six meters tall, with bodies that were either one-eyed, scarred, or covered in ghastly tumors, exuding ferocious auras.

The blue-haired youth was startled, his eyes uncertain, and he gritted his teeth, "Alright, so today was a trap to deal with me..."

With a wary look, he swiftly retreated, already thinking of leaving.

Just then, the blue-skinned Yaksha whispered something behind him, causing the blue-haired youth to relax and watch with a cold smile.

Meanwhile, on the shore, the Chen family members who had been trembling in fear and preparing to flee went stiff, then grinned happily.

A handsome man in white suddenly appeared, yawned, and sat on a rock, casually picking at his ear:

"Waking me from my sleep, I wouldn't have spared you, but it seems there's a show to watch."

The Chen family's elder quickly stepped forward, cupping his hands pleadingly, "Mr. Bai, today not only have sea demons come upon our city, but also that evil Zhang Kui is at our door. Our Chen family has long revered your grace, and we humbly seek your aid to save us."

"What are you afraid of!"

The white-clothed man sniffed, "The sea demons have pledged themselves to the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch, and have no quarrel with my Spiritual Sect. If the city falls, we can always build another, and none of you Chen family members will die."

"As for Zhang Kui, though there's someone in the sect defending him, today he seeks his own death, just hide for a while."

"Ah?"

Seeing the white-clothed man extricate himself from the situation, the Chen family looked disheartened, nodding meekly.

They turned back to the sea, gazing at the fierce sea demon army, feeling slightly reassured.

Mr. Bai's right, Zhang Kui might not survive today.

On the sea, the five Divine Travel Realm sea demons couldn't care less about anything else. As the Sea Race youth had noted, if they didn't establish dominance today, they'd become the East Sea's joke tomorrow.

Of course, Zhang Kui's Divine Travel Realm cultivation and that Heaven-Shocking Sword Qi didn't go unnoticed; exchanging glances, they swiftly unfurled a black tattered banner.

The long banner billowed in the wind, with a dreadful wind and blood evil soaring to the sky, vaguely showing a blood-colored snake fish with fangs swimming wildly.

This was their original plan to deal with the blue-haired youth, but to quickly kill Zhang Kui, they had to expose it prematurely.

Divine Artifact?

Zhang Kui was momentarily stunned, then a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

An Ancient Artifact with an Artifact Spirit can evolve continuously, known as a Divine Artifact.

Although this Blood Evil Black Banner couldn't compare to the human race's National Guardian Divine Artifact, its power was evident.

Most importantly, "Longevity" once again transmitted a sensation of hunger, indicating it too could be absorbed and fused.

Indeed, the sea is full of treasures!

Moreover, it's not just about these; aside from "Longevity," such self-nurtured Divine Artifacts, only those used by Mahayana Realm could harness without life-loss.

These few Divine Travel Realm sea demons controlling it together evidently had mastered a unique method.

This method was equally crucial for humans owning seven National Guardian Divine Artifacts!

The sea demons furiously activated the Blood Evil Black Banner, apparently unaware that Zhang Kui was eagerly waiting.

Buzz!

The Blood Evil Black Banner finally launched, transforming into a rolling blood cloud. The sea surface turned crimson, and in the blink of an eye, enveloped Zhang Kui.

"Hahaha..."

The Sea Demon who spoke earlier sneered, "This human cultivator is audacious enough to provoke my Sea Demon Race. Even though his cultivation in the Divine Travel Realm is not bad, it's just right to have the Divine Banner drain his essence blood."

Saying this, he gave a signal, and several other sea demons immediately surrounded the blue-haired young man, their eyes filled with bloodlust, "Xin Xunzi, don't think about escaping today, your turn will come soon enough!"

The blue-haired Sea Race youth's eyes flashed with a dark light, and he kept silent with a sullen face, but couldn't help feeling a bit anxious in his heart. Yet, when he glanced at the surging blood cloud, he sneered, "You should be worried about your own treasures."

The sea demons were startled, quickly turned their heads, only to see that the blood cloud was like it was suffering from indigestion, sometimes expanding, sometimes bulging, causing them to tremble with fear.

On the shore, the previously nonchalant Mr. Bai also frowned, "This Zhang Kui is not simple, what's his background?"

Chen Family Patriarch looked a bit confused, "No one knows for sure, but the world rumors that he is an innate divine being who descended to earth."

Mr. Bai snorted, "Those are just the opinions of ignorant people. There's no such thing as divine beings in this world. Even if there were, they wouldn't come to humans. At most, he's a genius. How many years has he cultivated?"

The Chen Family Patriarch's eyes flashed with a hint of fear, tremblingly said, "When I first heard of him, he had just become a National Guardian. The first time I met him, he eliminated the Venerable Snake Demon. I heard... I heard he had only cultivated for three years..."

"What!"

Mr. Bai was astonished, followed by a moment of silence, "Tell me more about this innate divine being..."

At this moment, inside the blood cloud...

No doubt, this thing also has a similar space that can capture people like "Longevity."

However, its interior is shrouded in a hazy blood color, with a sticky pressure like the deep sea, and a hundred-meter-long gigantic sea serpent roaming around.

An ordinary cultivator entering would be instantly drained of essence blood by the space, then swallowed by the sea serpent, strengthening its own divine soul.

But swallowing Zhang Kui was akin to swallowing a poisoned pill, hard to swallow and even harder to spit out.

Zhang Kui, enveloped in Protective Golden Light, immune to all techniques, was chasing the sea serpent fiercely from heaven to earth.

Nearby, the Vine Demon held a black parasol to protect Fatty Tiger, eagerly waiting for Zhang Kui to offer some feed.

Boom!

The sea serpent let out a miserable cry as it was struck by a heavy punch, spinning its massive body and flying out, instantly transforming into a cloud of blood mist, only to be reborn in another place.

But as soon as it appeared, it hissed and squealed, grabbed mid-air by Zhang Kui using a Soul Capture technique, with a rolling wave of air from another heavy punch.

Zhang Kui dared not use Sword Qi, fearing it might damage the Blood Evil Black Banner. He resorted to such clumsy methods, but even though the artifact spirit was beaten miserably, with frightened eyes, it could always rely on Blood Evil to resurrect, with no reduction in power.

"Longevity, this Blood Evil is useless, right?"

Zhang Kui was a bit anxious, shouting at the Longevity Artifact Spirit Vine Demon holding a parasol. Time was precious, and he couldn't let those sea demons take away their divine artifact.

The Artifact Spirit Vine Demon first looked confused, then a spirit light flashed, it shook its head.

This was the first time the Longevity responded to Zhang Kui, unnoticed by anyone.

"That's good then!"

Zhang Kui's smile was cold, an ancient jade-like Divine Court Bell appeared instantly, followed by Tai Shi Dharma Aspect manifesting behind Zhang Kui, both forming hand seals simultaneously.

Crisis Resolution Divine Skill!

The Crisis Resolution Skill can dispel any witchcraft, evil qi, or curse. Although the Blood Evil is formidable, under the spreading of a clear spirit light, it rapidly faded like snow meeting the Scorching Sun.

Zhang Kui chuckled, once again seizing the sea serpent artifact spirit, driving a punch at it...

Outside, the sea demon controlling the divine artifact suddenly spewed blue blood, then under countless eyes, the blood-red cloud first turned white, then quickly shrank, revealing Zhang Kui's figure.

Zhang Kui wore a beaming smile, rolling down his sleeves, "Hey, you few salted fish, can you bring out more of these good things?"

The sea was in complete silence.

The blue-haired Sea Race youth was stunned,

The shore's evil spirit Mr. Bai was silent,

The Chen Family members were limp all over,

"Monster... Monster..."

"Ah!"

Several sea demons of the Divine Travel Realm went utterly mad, "Audacious human, dare to destroy my clan's treasures, full army assault, kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Get to the shore, kill all the humans!"

Boom!

The sea surface surged and surged, countless sea demons with terrifying scale armor roared madly, eyes glowing with blood, wrapped in huge waves, rushing like a Black Tide.

Onshore, Mr. Bai frowned,

"Things have gotten out of hand, let's go, this Sea Demon Race is vast in numbers, even if Zhang Kui is an innate divine being, he can't hold them all back..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Kui's eyes suddenly blazed with fierce light, he roared boldly:

"Damn you, just in time!"

Then, suddenly leaping into the air, he spun around, pinched a spell in his right hand and put it by his mouth, then took a deep breath, puffing his cheeks.

Swoosh~

Blood-colored Karmic Fire rolled out, spreading like a tide, half blood-red, half blue, turning all path-crossing sea demons to white ash.

Subsequently, the whole near-sea froze into solid ice, the countless huge waves transforming into towering ice spikes of varying sizes.

The sea surface fell into eerie silence, everyone alive, watching the slowly descending figure, with a chill overtaking their hearts...
