Not to mention that, ever since the sea snake, the guardian spirit beast of the Vermilion Fruit, appeared, it saw the crowd. Although its intelligence was not high, it knew that they were here to compete for the spirit fruit that it had guarded for a thousand years. It immediately rushed towards the crowd in anger. At the same time, its body that was as hard as diamond rampaged through the crowd, directly killing more than ten cultivators who did not have time to react.
At the same time, the sea snake opened its huge mouth and swallowed or bit to death the cultivators who did not have time to escape. Immediately, blood rained down in the sky, dyeing the clear seawater red. The scene was extremely tragic. Some of the cultivators who were bitten into two by the sea snake did not die immediately. At this moment, they let out sharp screams that made people's scalps go numb.
Chu Lingyun and the old man were far away, so he didn't receive the sea snake's attack. However, when he saw this miserable scene, he was also shocked. A chill rose from his heart. Chu Lingyun only felt a chill from head to toe, and his original desire to fight for the Vermilion Fruit completely dissipated after seeing the sea snake's might.
The four to five hundred cultivators were caught off guard by the sea snake and suffered heavy losses. However, they were all monsters who had cultivated for hundreds of years. Their minds were firm. After the panic just now, they quickly organized their resistance.
Under the organization of their respective sect masters, the people of Penglai Immortal Sect and Yama Sect surrounded the sea snake and controlled their magic weapons to fight. As long as the sea snake rushed in a certain direction, the disciples in that direction would escape far away, while the other disciples took the opportunity to control their magic weapons to attack the sea snake. For a time, the sea snake's unparalleled power only killed a few loose cultivators.
After the rogue cultivators rebelled under the organization of some respected people, although the sea snake was still roaring fiercely, they did not achieve any results after everyone stabilized their position.
If the sea snake were to face any of the cultivators alone, even if it was a master of the Shang Qing Realm, the sea snake would be invincible. However, this kind of one-on-one battle would obviously not happen here. Although everyone could not compare to the sea snake, if one could not compare, what about ten, a hundred, or a few hundred?
Under the siege of 400 to 500 cultivators, although the sea snake was invincible and killed one or two cultivators from time to time in the following battles, it did not kill many cultivators. Its injuries were also a bit more serious. If it were not for its tough snakeskin, it would have been killed by now. Even so, the sea snake was covered in wounds. Every time it collided and bit in the air, it was not satisfied with its bravery just now.
When everyone saw Sea Serpent's appearance, how could they not know that he was just an arrow at the end of its flight? They were extremely excited, and the magic treasures in their hands danced even more hurriedly. The light on the magic treasures also instantly flourished, and dazzling rays of light and colorful lights that filled the sky attacked Sea Serpent at the same time, as if it was the end of Sea Serpent.
As a ferocious demon beast, the sea snake seemed even crazier when it was on the verge of death. Its snake head hissed, hissing, hissing, hissing. While roaring, its body spiraled upward. The wind and clouds rose, and the waves surged. The rising body of the sea snake suddenly turned and rushed toward the place with the largest number of people. It kept moving forward, ignoring the magical equipment behind it.
" Not good!" Seeing the appearance of the sea snake, the old man beside Chu Lingyun cried out in alarm. Chu Lingyun also knew that the sea snake was fighting back at the brink of death. For some reason, a feeling of sympathy for the sea snake suddenly rose in his heart.
Just because a cultivator coveted the spiritual fruit, he had to kill the demon beast that had guarded the spiritual fruit for thousands of years. To put it nicely, it was a cultivator killing the demon in passing. To put it bluntly, what was the difference between killing and robbing? Thinking up to here, Chu Lingyun no longer had any thoughts of snatching the Vermilion Fruit.
He still couldn't do this kind of killing or killing demons to steal treasures. Perhaps he thought that he was killed by greed in his previous life. For a moment, he felt that his previous life was so similar to the sea serpent. Wasn't the sea serpent's dying counterattack the same as his previous life's dying self-explosion?
While he was thinking about this, the sea snake had yet to rush into the crowd. The magic treasures in the air had already hit its body. The sea snake let out a near-death scream. Blood flowed out of its thousand-foot-long body like a waterfall. It flew into the sea and dyed it dark red.
However, the sea snake was so determined at this moment. Even when it was on the verge of death, it still charged towards the crowd with an indomitable will. Finally, the moment it closed its eyes, it saw the cries of the crowd and the corpses falling into the sea like rain. Perhaps it had no regrets anymore. Finally, its huge snake body fell into the sea weakly.
At this moment, Chu Lingyun's entire body was tense, and his heart was surging. He was only worried about the sea snake's dying madness, and a surge of hot blood rushed into his heart. He did not see the crowd's exclamations, nor did he see the hundreds of cultivators who could not dodge in time die under the sea snake's dying attack. His gaze paused on the sea snake's powerless body.
If it fled into the sea, wouldn't it be able to escape with its life?
What was it? Why was it so determined?
Was it because he couldn't bear to part with the spiritual fruit that he had guarded for a thousand years?
No? No, Chu Lingyun seemed to have seen through the heart of the sea snake. It was the pride that existed in its heart since its birth, and the heart that was unwilling to be bullied that made it so determined to make its enemies pay the price even if it died.
An uproar woke Chu Lingyun up from his agitated state of mind. Just as everyone was about to fight for the spirit fruit and the sea snake's body, a sage-like old man suddenly appeared in the field. In the instant when everyone was thrown into chaos by the sea snake's attack, he caught them off guard and picked up the three Vermilion Fruits, as well as the Vermilion Fruit's spirit root.
In an instant, the old man appeared in front of the sea snake's body. A wooden staff appeared in his hand. Treasure light flowed, and he easily killed the cultivators who rushed down to fight for the sea snake's body and took the sea snake's body.
The situation changed in the blink of an eye. The old man seemed to have entered his own garden and easily collected everyone's results. His sage-like appearance was revealed in front of everyone.
"Patriarch Qing Kong!" Upon seeing the old man's appearance, all the cultivators were shocked. Wasn't this the previous sect master of the Penglai Immortal Sect? They didn't expect the legend to be true. He really didn't die. Everyone now knew why the old man could easily kill the person who stole the body of the sea snake. Who was the other party? In their hearts, Patriarch Qingkong was a peak that they could never climb.
In an instant, the cultivators who were originally furious did not dare to say anything else. Even the people from Yan Luo Sect did not dare to say anything. Instead, they respectfully greeted Qing Kong, who only nodded lightly.
At this time, Chu Lingyun was stunned. Wasn't that Qing Kong the old man who had just been chatting with him? However, when he saw Qing Kong's actions, Chu Lingyun's good impression of him instantly collapsed. Everyone's reaction made him realize that the cultivation world was indeed the survival of the fittest. It had actually reached such a degree.
