Chapter 41 A Giant Whale Devours the Sea
Xiao Huan Island
The island is sixty or seventy miles long, but the spiritual vein is only a few miles long. It is a barren island with little spiritual energy under the jurisdiction of Kui Xing Island.
There is a small town of mortals on the island, with hundreds of residents who usually live within the range of a small protective magic array.
Now, monsters from the outer sea have invaded the inner sea, and the mortals here are hiding inside, no longer daring to go out to fish.
Han Li's cave dwelling is located in a small mountain on the east side of the island.
"Damn it, what kind of broken formation is this?"
"We five brothers have been working together for so long, and we still can't break through?"
A shirtless, masked man wielding a hand axe-like magical weapon angrily shattered a rock on the island.
"Third brother, what's the rush? If we can't break through, we can't break through. Anyway, the task that Jiyin Island gave us is to keep an eye on this place."
Once the owner of this cave returns and is captured, the formation can naturally be broken.
Another masked man, wielding a curved sword, patted his brother on the shoulder.
"Hmph, if you ask me, the owner of this cave has most likely run away. A Foundation Establishment cultivator being targeted by Extreme Yin Island is most likely doomed."
"We're just wasting our time by staying here and watching."
The man holding the round shield sat dejectedly on the ground.
"Yes, that little bit of spirit stone reward isn't even enough for our eldest brother to buy pills."
The man holding a bow and arrow stood behind the group, stealing glances at the eldest brother who was sitting to the side with his eyes closed, seemingly resting.
"You guys just don't have a long-term vision."
If we can't break this formation, do you think other Foundation Establishment cultivators can?
These past few days, Second Brother, go and spread the word that there are the remains of a Core Formation cultivator here.
"If we attract a few more Foundation Establishment cultivators, we can ambush and kill them, and then we'll get the spirit stones, right?"
The eldest brother, who was resting with his eyes closed, had only one eye; the other was blind.
"Yes! Big brother is right! How come we didn't think of that? Big brother, you're awesome!"
The man holding the bow and arrow hairpin hurriedly tried to flatter him.
Seeing how good he was at taking pictures, the other shirtless men were not to be outdone and began to compliment the one-eyed man.
"Alright! Stop flattering me. Third brother, go to that nearby mortal town and bring back a few mortal women."
"Since we're just idling around here anyway, we might as well have some fun."
The one-eyed man waved his hand.
"Alright! Big brother, just you wait and see, I'll grab the freshest girl for you right now."
The third-born man, grinning lewdly, was about to head to the ordinary people's town.
"B-Big brother, is this really going to work? The rules of the Star Palace forbid cultivators from wantonly harming mortals."
Seeing this, the second brother hesitated for a moment and cautiously offered a reminder.
"Huh? Second brother, are you questioning my decision?"
The one-eyed eldest brother glanced at the second brother.
"No! No, brother, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried that if the people on Kui Xing Island find out about this, they might surround and arrest us."
The second son quickly explained.
"Kui Xing Island? Hmph, a month ago, Elder Miao of the Six Linked Halls of Kui Xing Island died, and Elder Gu was also captured and taken away by the people of Xing Palace."
There is no island master on the entire Kui Xing Island, so who has time to care about the lives of ordinary people?
Second brother, as long as the five of us brothers join forces and form an array, which Foundation Establishment cultivator can escape?
Even if a Core Formation cultivator came, they would still be injured if they took our Giant Whale Swallowing the Sea attack head-on.
Besides, where would a Core Formation cultivator come from in such a remote place?
The one-eyed elder brother patted the second brother on the shoulder, signaling him not to worry too much.
Just then, as the third brother was about to fly towards the mortal town on his hand axe, he saw a small boat flying towards them from the sky.
"Big brother! Big brother! Three people are coming!"
The third brother quickly landed and reported to the one-eyed elder brother.
"Oh! Brothers, it seems the owner of this cave has returned?!"
"Quickly, get into ambush. Wait for them to come down, then attack together and form a defensive formation to take them down."
The one-eyed leader was the first to conceal his presence, hiding behind a boulder.
The others also took cover and lay in ambush.
At that moment, a small boat slowly flew in from the distance.
This flying boat is Han Li's Divine Wind Boat, and the three people on board are Han Li, Qu Hun, and Qing Feng, who came to capture the Gold-Eating Insects.
"Interesting, Brother Han. There are five Foundation Establishment cultivators near your cave. Are they your friends?"
Qingfeng asked with a smile, his hands behind his back.
"Five Foundation Establishment cultivators? I've been in seclusion here for many years and haven't made any friends."
Han Li frowned, and after a moment of doubt, his expression changed.
"Since they're not friends, then they're enemies. It seems that Jiyin Island isn't planning to let Brother Han go, and has actually sent out a guard team consisting of one late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and four mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators."
With his enhanced divine sense, Qingfeng swept across the area and exposed all five people lying in ambush near the cave to his perception range.
"One late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and four mid-stage cultivators."
Han Li considered it in his mind; both He Quhun and Han Li were at the Pseudo-Core stage.
In a head-on confrontation, they naturally wouldn't take these people seriously.
But at this moment, the five men had been lying in ambush nearby, having planned this all along.
If I had been careless and landed at the cave entrance only to be ambushed, there was a real chance that I would have been killed by those people.
"Big Brother's divine sense is indeed powerful; he was able to detect their ambush here."
Han Li cupped his hands in greeting.
"You're too kind, Brother Han. Shall we do it ourselves, or shall we?"
Qingfeng had absolutely no interest in fighting against the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
Because they are too weak, like ants, easily destroyed with a flick of the finger.
"I'll do it. Brother, you're a guest in my cave. How can I let a guest do it?"
Han Li glanced at Qu Hun, then stopped the Divine Wind Boat in mid-air and jumped off.
The instant he jumped down, he summoned the Green Radiance Sword and unleashed the Azure Origin Sword Light, shooting it towards the hiding places of the five people.
"We've been discovered! Form up!"
With a roar, the one-eyed leader sent five figures soaring into the sky.
They had worked together for years, and in an instant, each took their place.
The third brother, wielding an axe, stood to the east; the fifth brother, a burly man with a shield, guarded the west; the second brother, with a scimitar, stood to the south; the fourth brother, with a bow and arrow, occupied the north; and the one-eyed eldest brother, holding a dark blue steel fork, stood in the center.
"Ding ding ding!"
The cyan sword light was mostly blocked by the shield and axe blade.
Only a sliver of sword light grazed the left arm of the man with the scimitar, raising a cloud of blood mist.
"Damn it, fourth brother, shoot him!"
The second brother with the curved blade was furious.
The fourth archer nocked an arrow and shot, the arrow turning into a streak of fire that hurtled straight at Han Li's face.
Han Li swayed slightly, then suddenly accelerated and appeared in front of the second brother with the curved blade. The Azure Yuan Sword light he unleashed forced the second brother to retreat repeatedly.
On the other side, Qu Hun's burly body slammed into the shield-wielding brute like a cannonball, his fist slamming into the shield, causing the brute's fifth brother's tiger's mouth to split open and forcing him to stagger back three steps.
In the air, Qingfeng sat cross-legged on the edge of the Divine Wind Boat, took out a bag of roasted Five Spirit Melon Seeds from his storage bag, and began to eat them with relish.
"Tsk tsk, these five are quite interesting."
It contains all five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The eldest brother cultivates the metal arts, which are the most powerful in attack. The second brother uses wood arts and wields a curved sword as a magical weapon.
The third brother is skilled in fire magic, wielding a short, powerful axe. The fourth brother is skilled in water magic, using a ranged bow and arrow.
The fifth brother is an earth-based martial artist, skilled in using shields and magical artifacts for defense.
The five people formed a formation, with the five elements mutually generating each other. When the formation was turned, its power increased exponentially.
"It will still take Han Li and Qu Hun quite a bit of effort to take down these five thugs from the Giant Whale Gang."
Qingfeng ate sunflower seeds while watching the battle below.
Han Li and Qu Hun went all out, and in a two-against-five situation, they began to gain a slight advantage.
Upon seeing this, the one-eyed leader of the Giant Whale Gang began to direct his underlings to change formation.
The one-eyed leader raised his steel fork high, and the magical power of the other four surged into his body.
The steel fork magic weapon in his hand shone brightly with golden light at its tip, and then shot out a golden beam of light, shattering Han Li's cyan sword light into pieces.
Then, the five changed formation again, trapping Qu Hun in the middle and shouting in unison.
"A giant whale swallowing the sea!"
A gigantic, illusory whale formed from spiritual energy opened its massive jaws and swallowed Qu Hun whole. Then, without slowing its pace, it charged toward Han Li.
