Shi Tianchuan nodded upon hearing the words, his eyes filled with admiration.
Even uttering a single word was enough to reveal a composed state of mind and unwavering confidence in facing the challenge—such unfathomable self-assurance was beyond his imagination.
Even if other powerhouses harbored doubts, none dared voice them at this moment.
This matter was of grave importance, concerning the fate of all living beings in the East Sea.
Logically speaking,
they should have prepared meticulously and comprehensively for an unprecedented bloody battle.
However,
since Master Yi had spoken thus, and they had already pledged to follow his lead, they could only comply and wait.
The hall fell into silence as gazes met, the atmosphere thick with tension.
Shi Tianchuan clasped his fists solemnly, steadying the restless hearts around him.
"Esteemed colleagues,"
"Since this is Master Yi's strategy, we shall act accordingly, remaining steadfast to adapt to any changes and await the arrival of the Heavenly Dragon Merfolk!"
Hearing this, the seasoned elders snapped back to attention and clasped their fists in return.
"The island lord speaks wisely! Master Yi's strategy is brilliant!"
"Indeed, indeed! With the advantage of our island's terrain and Master Yi's assistance, we stand a chance against the Heavenly Dragon Merfolk tomorrow. Staying firm is the best course of action!"
"We shall follow Master Yi's plan!"
As the old-timers rose and bowed, reverence filled the hall.
The enigmatic Master Yi, exuding absolute confidence, remained seated like an unshakable mountain, further astounding the crowd. Anticipation for the impending battle stirred passionate declarations.
The female cultivators also gazed at Yi Feng with deep admiration, their eyes filled with reverence—all except Lu Caiwei, whose gaze flickered uncertainly.
The entire Black Island began to simmer with long-dormant battle intent!
...
The next morning.
By the mist-shrouded shore,
the tides surged violently as the sea level rose unnaturally by several zhang, as if driven by an indescribable force. The very essence of heaven and earth seemed to surge from the depths!
"Boom!"
Suddenly!
Terrifying waves towered dozens of zhang high, their thunderous roar echoing for hundreds of miles!
The monstrous tide swept over the coast, instantly submerging nearby villages and docks. The already perilous waves carried an extraordinary might, devouring and eroding the shoreline like molten lava, spreading relentlessly for dozens of miles.
In an instant,
screams erupted along the coast as cultivators fled like startled birds.
Layer upon layer of waves crashed forth, and from the sea rose a hundred-zhang-high surge!
The towering column of water was so terrifying that even the morning sun seemed to recoil, its light blotted out by oppressive dark clouds, as if heralding the arrival of something unimaginably dreadful!
With rolling dark clouds, the storm was imminent.
Atop the churning waves, a colossal shadow emerged, its mere presence beyond mortal comprehension. Lightning crackled within the clouds, creeping ominously toward the island.
Instantly,
the distant observers paled and transformed into streaks of light, fleeing in terror!
Inside the Black Island's grand hall,
Yi Feng and the island's powerhouses waited in solemn silence, tension thick in the air.
Suddenly!
Ripples distorted the void as a messenger bowed and clasped his fists.
"Reporting to Master Yi and the Island Lord!"
"Disaster approaches! The Heavenly Dragon Merfolk have arrived as promised, led by an invincible being whose might has already swept the coast. This subordinate has never witnessed such power!"
The shocking announcement sent the entire assembly leaping to their feet!
Pressure instantly engulfed the hall, all eyes turning to Yi Feng.
"Master Yi, what should we do?"
Despite their earlier bravado, facing the Heavenly Dragon Merfolk left the Black Island's leaders utterly daunted. Many female cultivators panicked, instinctively looking to Yi Feng as their pillar of strength.
Even Shi Tianchuan wore a grave expression as he clasped his fists.
Powerless against the Heavenly Dragon Merfolk and clueless about Master Yi's plans, they could only await his guidance with bated breath.
Before Yi Feng could speak,
a deafening roar echoed from above, as if descending from the heavens themselves!
"Shi Tianchuan!"
"We, the Heavenly Dragon Clan, have arrived as promised! Why do you not kneel in welcome?!"
The furious voice boomed like thunder, dripping with innate superiority and scornful disdain, further heightening the tension in the hall!
The room fell deathly silent.
Observing the fear in their eyes, Yi Feng only grew more excited.
The Heavenly Dragon Merfolk truly lived up to their reputation! To dominate the Seventy-Two Islands with such arrogance, they must be extraordinary indeed!
This time, death is surely guaranteed!
Yi Feng immediately waved his hand.
"Let's go!"
With his commanding stride, the Black Island faction mustered a shred of courage, gritting their teeth as they followed closely behind!
By the time the dozens of figures stepped out of the hall,
the sky was already choked with roiling dark clouds!
Amid the lightning-streaked heavens, countless figures loomed, each radiating terrifying pressure—especially the towering merman at the forefront, whose presence sent tremors through the crowd!
The merman stood several zhang tall, with a human head and a muscular fish-like body, crackling with lightning. Like a deity descending, he gazed down at the ground with undisguised contempt, as if beholding mere ants.
His aloof demeanor exuded an invincible aura!
His very presence on Black Island seemed a privilege for mortals.
Even Shi Tianchuan clenched his fists in awe at the sight.
"Master Yi..."
"That leader is the Heavenly Dragon Merfolk's Guardian General, a trueblood of their lineage. Though not of royal descent, he possesses their bloodline power, making him incomparably formidable. His status is exalted—I’ve only seen him a handful of times."
The whispered words sent a deeper wave of dread through the crowd!
Nervous glances darted about!
"The Guardian General himself has come?!"
"How do we face this?"
"Master Yi, what should we do?"
While the powerhouses quaked with fear, Yi Feng was thrilled.
Finally,
a worthy opponent has appeared!
Time to test their mettle—action first, questions later.
Slowly drawing his Primordial Greatsword, Yi Feng curled his lips into an eager grin.
"Let's wreck them!"
Before the stunned crowd could react,
he had already shot into the stormy skies, charging alone into the lightning-filled clouds!
The move was too sudden.
Not only were the Black Island faction caught off guard, but even the Heavenly Dragon Merfolk never imagined a human would dare attack them!
The Guardian General blinked in surprise.
Before his disdain could fully form, overwhelming sword light engulfed him, splitting him in two with a look of horror frozen on his face—unable to believe what had just transpired!
One strike, and the general was no more.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Horrific snapping sounds echoed as terror spread through the clouds!
Yi Feng had become a god of slaughter!
In a flurry of blades and shadows, thousands of Heavenly Dragon Merfolk were cleaved apart like vegetables. Their fleeing figures stood no chance against the deadly sword beams, leaving only anguished wails to pierce the heavens!
"Stay away from me!"
"Mother—!"
"Run! Run now!"
In mere moments,
the Heavenly Dragon Merfolk were utterly routed, their earlier arrogance replaced by the helplessness of livestock awaiting slaughter.
Everything happened too fast!
The dozens of Black Island powerhouses, led by Shi Tianchuan, stood dumbfounded below, nearly petrified on the spot as gasps of shock filled the air!
Who had ever seen the Heavenly Dragon Merfolk like this?
Who could have imagined they'd meet such an end!
Tsk tsk.
No wonder Master Yi had been so composed, never revealing any strategy.
Turns out,
his confidence stemmed from unrivaled power.
This was the source of his unshakable calm!
In the face of absolute strength, everything else was trivial!
This time, they'd truly latched onto a formidable ally!
Witnessing Yi Feng's awe-inspiring display of power, the members of Black Island were filled with burning passion. Summoning their courage, they joined the fray, sealing off the surrounding heavens and earth. The one-sided slaughter unfolded before their eyes, filling the entire island with triumphant pride!
At last,
Yi Feng had cut down every last invader from the Heavenly Dragon Merman Clan, leaving only a single trembling fishman alive.
Shi Tianchuan and the other titans glared with fury, no longer hiding the hatred in their eyes.
"You damned creature, your day has finally come!"
"After lording over us for tens of thousands of years, death is too good for you!"
"Master Yi, we beg you to hand this fishman over to us. We will carve him into a thousand pieces to avenge the souls of our fallen heroes!"
Surveying the seething crowd as they bowed in reverence, Yi Feng slowly raised his hand.
"Patience. Let him live a little longer."
