The Peerless Tang Sect’s Sun and Moon Glory

Another early morning, Xu Zihuang, who was sitting cross-legged on the Demon Whale, had finished practicing all night.

The Magic Whale is not a large ship and cannot anchor to hold its position.

Drifting with the wind and waves on the sea one night, he was brought to the junction of the offshore area and the deep sea area. With the Golden Eyes Martial Spirit, he can easily judge these through the changes in the color of the sea water and the internal currents with his subtle observation skills.

After sailing on the sea for more than a month, his clothes and face were still spotless. There is absolutely no fatigue and vicissitudes after a long sea voyage.

Looking at the rising sun, Xu Zihuang took a deep breath, tied his long black hair behind his back with a hair tie, and then took out the map of this sea area from the storage soul guide.

Judging by comparing the sea chart and the direction of the rising sun, he should be in the southern waters of the Star Luo Empire. After sailing further west for a while, you will enter the southern waters of the Sun and Moon Empire.

The powerful sea soul beasts living in the deep sea restricted the development of the two imperial navies.

Neither the Sun Moon Empire nor the Star Luo Empire are very good at naval battles. But that doesn't mean they don't have any measures at sea. Both sides have a navy stationed where they meet in the southern sea. It's just that the navy is not large enough. It has roughly the strength of a soul engineer group of 500 people.

Relatively speaking, the navy of the Sun and Moon Empire is stronger. Although it is not as good as the top soul mentor group at the level of the Protector's Hand of the Sun and Moon Empire, the advantages in soul guidance technology are there after all.

This navy in the southern part of the Sun and Moon Empire is called the Nanhai Soul Engineer Group, and its leader is a powerful eighth-level soul engineer. There are four hundred-meter-level ships under his command, and there are even more small escort ships.

The ship is equipped with many powerful soul guides, and its combat effectiveness is considerable.

The reason why Xu Zihuang knew this very well was because Wang Yao and the others had carefully inquired about the detailed information of this South China Sea soul mentor group.

The original Nanhai Soul Engineer Group was actually led by his father. However, after Xu Tianran and his son came to power, they quickly replaced them with their cronies.

Moreover, he learned from Keke not long ago that Orange is currently training in this South China Sea soul instructor group. With his outstanding commanding and combat capabilities, he has repeatedly made military exploits in the battle against sea soul beasts, and has now reached the rank of captain in command of nearly a hundred soul mentors. With such a captain, there are only five people in the Nanhai Soul Instructor Group, and their status is second only to the division leader of the Nanhai Soul Instructor Group.

In order to avoid trouble, Xu Zihuang planned to bypass the navies on both sides in this sea area where the offshore and deep sea meet. Afterwards, take a large ship from Haiyue City, the southern city of the Sun and Moon Empire, to Yueshu Island.

Starting from the southern waters of the Sun and Moon Empire to Yueshu Island, it will take at least nearly half a month to sail, and it will go deep into the sea.

He has basically completed the purpose of going to sea to experience this time, so there is no need to venture into the sea alone again. Perhaps encountering a powerful sea soul beast was secondary, mainly because his sailing experience was not that rich.

Navigating around the continent at least has the coastline as a reference, but if you go deep into the sea, it is not easy to identify the direction.

Xu Zihuang carefully determined the position before lowering the sail. The sea breeze blew on him, stirring a few strands of purple hair on his forehead and temples.

The sailing conditions at sea are indeed a bit rough, but he has never been harsh on himself when it comes to daily needs.

Today’s breakfast is still made from local ingredients. A few casually caught sea fish are boiled in clean water into a sweet white soup and served with some fresh vegetables. With the development of soul guidance technology, today's storage soul guidance devices can completely store ingredients while maintaining their freshness.

The staple food is pan-fried salmon. Looking at the endless deep blue sea and tasting delicious food, the boring mood seems to be relieved a lot.

While eating breakfast, Xu Zihuang released the soul shield to avoid several sea soul beasts whose cultivation level was above eight thousand years but not ten thousand years. The distinction between offshore waters and deep sea waters is not just based on the depth of the water. The most obvious difference is that the sea soul beasts living there have different levels of cultivation.

The main cultivation levels of sea soul beasts that operate in offshore waters are generally at the hundred-year or thousand-year level. But once you get close to the deep sea, including the sea area where the offshore sea and the deep sea meet, you may encounter a ten thousand year soul beast.

These sea soul beasts, whose cultivation level is less than 10,000 years, have limited perception ability after all, and they did not detect the existence of the Demonic Whale and Xu Zihuang.

After sailing for about an hour, he officially entered the southern waters of the Sun and Moon Empire. Just as he was changing direction and preparing to land at Haiyue City, a coastal city in the south of the Sun and Moon Empire, a sea soul beast with a cultivation level of about five thousand years suddenly entered the range of his mental perception.

Xu Zihuang looked up to the west with a feeling, and saw several dazzling golden light spots reflected on the sea in the distance.

What reflected the golden light spots were pieces of dark brown scales. The texture of the scales was smooth and transparent, with strange golden textures inside. A total of thirteen scales overlapped to form a whole tortoise shell.

The owner of the tortoise shell is a turtle-like spirit beast with a sharp head like an eagle's beak.

"Tortoiseshell?" Xu Zihuang raised his eyebrows in surprise as he looked at this turtle-like soul beast.

In the memory of his previous life, Xu Sanshi's seventh soul ring was fused with a golden tortoiseshell that had a hundred thousand years of cultivation. The golden tortoise shell is not an existence that can affect the luck of the entire Star Dou Forest like the auspicious beast of the emperor, the three-eyed golden leopard, but it is also known as an auspicious beast, and is an emperor-like existence among tortoise soul beasts.

According to legend, this golden tortoise shell has the inheritance of the golden bloodline among soul beasts. They are not as hostile to humans as other soul beasts. Instead, they are close to human soul masters who have great luck. In ancient times, it was a symbol of auspiciousness.

And even if it is just an ordinary tortoise shell, its status among turtle soul beasts is extraordinary.

The tortoiseshell tribe has been able to adapt to both the ocean and the land environment at the same time. Xu Zihuang is not surprised that there is a tribe in the ocean.

But the tortoiseshell turtle in front of me is really special. The golden lines on the back mean that it has a trace of golden blood.

This hawksbill turtle swam quickly on the sea surface, its mental fluctuations were a bit chaotic, and it looked like it was avoiding danger. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Xu Zihuang, and their eyes met.

Xu Zihuang did not take action against the tortoiseshell. He is not someone who takes pleasure in killing. As long as it is not a sea soul beast that actively attacks it, he will usually not take action at will.

Besides, this tortoiseshell turtle didn't have any value for him to take action. The scales on the back of the tortoiseshell are very valuable. They are the best in decorative collections and are highly sought after by nobles. But from his perspective, it was nothing.

The tortoiseshell seemed to sense that Xu Zihuang had no ill intentions towards it, so it retracted its head and continued to swim hurriedly towards the deep sea.

Not long after the tortoiseshell left, a warship appeared in Xu Zihuang's sight again.

This warship is fifty meters long and twenty meters wide. The hull is wrapped in a thick layer of iron-gray iron armor. There is also a soul cannon placed on the deck.

At this time, there were dozens of people standing on the deck. The leader was a young man in his twenties. The young man is less than 1.8 meters tall and his figure cannot be called strong. His skin is dark and wheat-colored, but his hair is half white and half red, giving people a very weird look.

The young man pretended to be aloof, crossing his arms across his chest and looking ahead. Noticing the Magic Whale and Xu Zihuang standing at the front of the Magic Whale, a hint of surprise appeared in his cold and arrogant brown eyes, and then he snorted disdainfully.

If you go deep into the sea alone, you either rely on your own strength or you have a brain problem and you don't know how high the sky is and how high it is. In his opinion, Xu Zihuang is obviously the latter.

A young man who looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old had a soul master-level cultivation level that was unparalleled. Not everyone can be like him, with a benign mutation in his martial soul, and his talent has made him stand out from his peers since childhood.

A lean, middle-aged man with dark skin came to the young man's side. The appearance of a middle-aged man with a flat nose and small eyes is hard to compliment. But his aura was the deepest among the people on the deck, and the others respectfully made way for him.

Jin Hong, a lean man, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the distance as sharply as an eagle. After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and reminded in a deep voice: "Young leader, the tortoiseshell has escaped to the deep sea area. If you continue to chase, you may encounter danger. Go and join the leader first. The leader has given instructions in advance, this This mission is extremely important and there cannot be any mistakes."

The young man sighed inexplicably.

"I know, Uncle Jin. It's just a pity. I originally wanted to use the scales on the back of the tortoise turtle to make a chart covering the entire Yuenan Islands and give it to grandpa. In this case, there is nothing I can do, but I can't be so white. Let’s take a trip.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand.

A sturdy young man behind him showed a cruel smile with understanding, took out a dark metal barrel from the turret on the deck and handed it to the young man.

The young man raised the barrel with a smile, filled it with a fixed soul cannon and aimed it at the Demonic Whale, but the coldness and jealousy deep in his eyes were frightening.

"Things that are an eyesore should disappear from this world. If you want to be resentful, then resent the injustice of this world. A waste with only a good skin is not qualified to live in this world."

Jin Hong did not say anything to stop the young man, as long as it did not affect the overall situation.

Crocodile Cheng is the only grandson of the leader of their Demon Crocodile Pirate Group. Even with his status in the Demon Crocodile Pirate Group, it is difficult to say anything.

The most important thing is that in the perception he has developed over a long time, killing is simply an ordinary thing.

As the soul power was stimulated, the barrel of the gun in Gu Cheng's hand began to tremble slightly. A strong black halo circulates on the surface of the barrel.

"Boom -" a violent roar sounded, and a dazzling black light burst out from the metal tube, shooting out towards the Magic Whale.

However, the young man standing proudly on the Demon Whale did not show a frightened expression as he imagined, and the indifference in his deep purple eyes seemed to be invisible mockery.

What Crocodile Cheng saw next was four balls of blue flame spitting out from behind the Magic Whale at the same time, actively facing the ball of black light at an astonishing speed.

At the critical moment, Xu Zihuang tiptoed, and the fusiform Magic Whale sank deeply into the sea.

The black light also hit the sea surface, and the sea surface with a radius of nearly 100 meters stirred up waves tens of meters high, and strong winds swept over.

The blue light passed through the sea water and formed a solid trace of light. The attention of everyone on the deck was attracted by the Magic Whale moving through the sea.

Jin Hong seemed to sense something and raised his head suddenly, his eyes focused.

The reaction ability to avoid the fixed soul cannon head-on is not something that all soul masters can possess. He realized that the young man in front of him might not be simple.

The rest of the people also followed Jin Hong's gaze. I saw a young man with black hair and purple eyes floating down from the sky, landing firmly on the railing in front of the warship deck, his voice was cold.

"The Demon Crocodile Pirate Group, Crocodile Cheng, right?"

Xu Zihuang actually recognized Crocodile Cheng from the beginning. It's not that there is anything special about Crocodile Cheng that deserves his attention, but that he has an amazing memory. As long as he has seen him once, it is basically difficult to forget him.

Moreover, Crocodile Cheng's facial features are too obvious.

Seeing the calmness and calmness in Xu Zihuang's eyes, the veins on Crocodile Cheng's forehead twitched slightly. Anyone who is familiar with Crouching Cheng knows that their young leader is on the verge of breaking out.

Several pirates from the Demon Crocodile Pirate Group showed their fierceness and were about to take action, but were stopped by Crocodile Cheng.

"you know me?"

Crocodile Cheng looked at Xu Zihuang coldly, and Xu Zihuang avoided his attack, which made him feel rebellious. If Xu Zihuang hadn't recognized his identity and made him confused, he would have crushed him to death.

In this sea area, no force dares to openly oppose their Demon Crocodile Pirate Group. Even the officials of the Sun and Moon Empire have nothing to do with them.

Xu Zihuang smiled calmly,

"None of this is important. You just need to know that none of you can leave here alive today." His voice was very calm, completely stating the facts.

"Boy, are you looking for death?! Who do you think you are?!" Gu Cheng's face turned cold, and his brown eyes changed drastically at this moment. One eye pupil turned into ice blue, and the other turned into fiery red.

Two yellow, two purple and one black, five optimally matched soul rings rose instantly from his feet, and the breath of extreme cold and heat swept outward from his body.

A huge two-headed snapping turtle phantom appeared behind him. One head was ice blue and the other was fiery red.

Ice and fire two-headed snapping turtle. This is Crocodile Cheng's martial spirit.

Dozens of pirates behind Crouching Cheng also released their own martial souls. Their soul power cultivation levels ranged from two-ring great soul masters to five-ring soul kings, and their martial souls were also all kinds of strange. But the vast majority are sea soul masters.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. There is no doubt that as long as Crocodile Cheng gives the order, they will step forward and tear Xu Zihuang into pieces without hesitation.

But before they could make any other moves, their eyes were filled with panic.

Black, black, black, black, black, red. Every time a soul ring appeared from Xu Zihuang's side, the look of fear in their eyes would become even more intense. Especially when they saw the strange blood-red soul ring, their breathing seemed to have become stagnant.

The middle-aged man Jin Hong, who was originally calm, also changed his expression drastically.

However, the next moment he saw strange silver ripples covering a large area of ​​​​the sea including the warship. Except for him and Crocodile Cheng, everyone exploded into a ball of blood mist.

"Bang, bang, bang--" The dull sound of a human body exploding sounded on the deck, and blood even splashed onto Crocodile Cheng's cheek. He was a little unaware, and his face was bloodless.

Jin Hong just reacted and wanted to gather his soul power to release his martial soul to resist, but he was wrapped around his body by a golden and silver tentacle emerging from the void.

Even though he was a soul saint, he had no ability to resist this tentacle. The golden lines on the tentacles flickered, and he felt that his soul and consciousness were about to be crushed by the terrifying force of the explosion.

Xu Zihuang landed on the deck and walked step by step in front of Crouching Cheng.

"who do you think You Are?"
