Chapter 788: Maple Leaf Dragon

The battle soon began. The once clear sky suddenly darkened with clouds. The disciples of Bibo Tianhai Pavilion, with the aid of extraordinary artifacts, soared through the sky, manipulating lightning to attack the giant octopus hidden beneath the water.

Thunder roared, cannon fire continued, and the deafening sounds filled the air. With each strike, huge splashes erupted on the sea surface, causing the surrounding ships to sway violently in the waves.

Seeing the fight in the distance, the crew of the Baiyoumu gathered at the bow of the ship, looking on.

“Should we go help?” Aitexi looked at the scene of intertwined lightning and flames, then turned to ask Lolan Hill.

“Wait a moment. The situation is too chaotic now. Rushing into the fray would disrupt Bibo Tianhai Pavilion’s strategy,” the young lady shook her head. Besides this reason, she also understood the pride of the major sects. Perhaps they wanted to solve this giant sea beast on their own.

After several rounds of cannon fire, although the giant octopus’ tentacles were blown up, its underwater body was hardly affected. The lightning and thunder attacks from the sky also inflicted limited damage.

This was the wonder of the sea. In such an environment, many skills and methods effective on land might not be useful.

Looking at the giant octopus, whose form could be vaguely seen in the water, Hai Biqing frowned. He also realized that the current attacks were ineffective against it.

“Retreat the warships! Summon the Blue-scaled Sea Dragons!”

As his order was issued, the warships below began to turn around, gradually moving away from the giant octopus. Just as the deep red giant octopus swam after them, disciples of Bibo Tianhai Pavilion descended from the sky. Nearly half of them began to emit dazzling azure light.

These figures then transformed into blue sand-like particles before abruptly condensing into physical forms. Dozens of blue-scaled sea dragons dived into the water, attacking the octopus. Each dragon was about 60-80 meters long, all disciples who practiced the Dragon Sequence at Bibo Tianhai Pavilion.

The blue scales of these dragons had a white base that darkened towards the edges. On the scales’ axis, there were protruding hard ridges. If caught by such a dragon, one would likely suffer severe wounds even if not killed.

In the vast ocean, this giant octopus, over 300 meters wide and with tentacles extending over 700 meters, was entangled and strangled by 14 Level 6 Blue-scaled Sea Dragons. Almost every tentacle had several dragons coiling around it, reaching towards the head. The octopus’ body was torn apart by the sharp claws, leaving a bloody scene.

Bibo Tianhai Pavilion, residing in the richest Longquan Bay, had more than 30 True Disciples at Level 6 or above. Today, they mobilized most of them.

Watching the intense scene, Lolan recalled her experiences in Zhaoye Palace. Before the incident in the Ximu Mountain Range, Zhaoye Palace had only eight True Disciples. Afterward, several fell, and even with her guidance and assistance, they barely recovered to ten.

Due to three geniuses paving the way, the subsequent disciples of Xiangyu Sect found it much easier to cultivate. Now, they have over 20 True Disciples at Level 6 or above.

This was still the case for major sects. If it were other ordinary sects, like the ‘Silver Seed Village’ and ‘Black Robe Palace’ that the young lady had seen in the Cut Lightning Seven Continents, none of them would have more than three True Disciples at Level 6 or above. Even smaller sects, like ‘Bamboo Mountain Academy’, might have only Level 5 True Disciples as leaders.

Cultivating in the Extraordinary Sequence in the new era was not easy, but Lolan Hill’s surroundings were mostly rare geniuses, which made her gradually forget the world faced by ordinary people.

In the eyes of ordinary people, a Level 8 monster was like an irresistible natural disaster, capable of destroying everything.

Boom—

A blood-red splash exploded on the sea surface, followed by a dragon leaping out of the water, ready to leave. But in the mist, a tattered red tentacle reappeared, wrapping around the dragon’s tail and pulling it back into the water.

In a short while, the situation in the sea had reversed.

Although these dragons had caused some damage to the octopus, its robust recovery ability prevented them from killing it immediately. Instead, as the battle continued, over a dozen dragons became infected with a strange poison, turning red. Blood froth and blood constantly oozed from their mouths and gaps between their scales, further staining the sea red.

“Damn!” Watching this scene, Hai Biqing cursed under his breath and extended his right hand, aiming directly at the sea.

As he swung his hand down, a massive, silent shockwave struck the water, instantly compressing it and transmitting the force into the giant octopus. Its crimson head trembled like a bag before returning to its original state.

Taking advantage of the octopus’ momentary confusion, the few dragons in the water escaped the control of its tentacles and returned to the warship. These True Disciples practicing the Dragon Sequence, upon transforming back into human form, writhed in pain on the deck, still exhibiting strange red patterns. Blood continuously oozed from their mouths and skin.

“This isn’t good,” Lolan Hill said, her expression growing serious.

She hadn’t expected so many Level 6 True Disciples couldn’t defeat this octopus. Knowing that these major sect disciples could fight and suppress Level 7 monsters alone, she didn’t expect such a significant difference just due to one rank gap.

Or perhaps it was the disadvantage of naval combat; geographical conditions had too great an impact.

Should she step in herself? Just as Lolan Hill was about to join the fight, a small figure flew in front of her.

“Let me go, Sister Lolan,” Yeling said excitedly, her eyes gradually turning into crimson dragon eyes.

“Alright,” Lolan nodded.

“Yes!” With Lolan’s consent, Yeling felt elated. Regardless, she knew Lolan would be behind her if she lost. This was her chance to fully test her new abilities.

Dragons were powerful and combative. During this period, with the awakening of her dragon blood, Yeling urgently wanted to unleash her desire to attack.

Roar!

An astonishing dragon roar echoed across the sea, followed by a huge dragon over 160 meters long forming in the sky. It had branching antlers resembling tree roots, displaying alternating colors of red and green. The scales covering its body resembled autumn maple leaves, transitioning from green to red.

The base of the scales was a deep green, while the tips turned vivid orange, then bright red, like the fiery clouds at dusk.

This dragon with wings on its back soared high, its limbs evenly distributed on its sides. Its muscular and graceful form exuded a sense of speed and strength combined.

Watching the maple leaf dragon dyeing the sky red, Lolan Hill also took off, following behind.

This was the first time she saw Yeling transform into a dragon. She hadn’t expected that this usually spoiled and lazy little girl would look so cool when transformed.

Now, it was time to see if this little guy could fight. Or rather, should be called a big guy now.

(Sneezing constantly, feeling weak, headache, oh no)
