The battle between the Half-Saint level warship and the Half-Saint Evil Corpse continued unceasingly for roughly two hours.
Under the attack of the Half-Saint level warship, the Half-Saint Evil Corpse suffered heavy damage.
Its corpse was bombarded by the Fire Dragon Formation and the Earth Martial Saint Light Cannon to the point that it was tattered and torn, and a crack appeared, threatening to split apart at any moment.
“Quack!”
The Half-Saint Evil Corpse gave a strange cry and suddenly, flew into the water, reaching the bottom of the Half-Saint level warship.
The Half-Saint’s light in the corpse’s body rapidly absorbed the aura of the heavens and earth, pumping out the aura within a hundred mile radius, transforming it into a holy force, and surprisingly, it slowly lifted the Half-Saint-class battleship up.
The Market Realm warriors on the battleship only felt their bodies gradually rising, flying towards the sky, getting closer and closer to the clouds.
A female Market Realm warrior, with a pale face and trembling legs, said in shock, “What’s going on”
It was true that a Half-Saint level warship was able to rely on formations to stand on the ground and fly, however, everyone knew that this Half-Saint level warship had already digested a large amount of spirit crystals. How could there be any excess spiritual energy left to run a flying formation?
It must have been an external force that lifted the battleship up.
“Gimme!”
Zhang Ruochen immediately summoned the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, squeezed the hilt with one hand, and stabbed the sword on top of the metaphysical iron deck, the tip of the sword penetrating half a foot deep.
He held onto the hilt of the sword and steadied his body.
At the bottom of the battleship, the Half-Saint Evil Corpse used both arms with vigour and threw the Half-Saint level battleship out.
The Half-Saint level battleship quickly flipped in mid-air and, with a rumble, crashed into the top of that one rocky island, then, once again, it tumbled around and crashed into the sea.
“Gulp!”
The Half-Saint level battleship continued to sink as seawater surged over, squeezing the light shield formed by the Great Ship Protector Formation.
On the third level cabin, a wrinkled array master immediately transmitted a voice to Situ Fenglan, saying, “Lord Situ, the first set of ship-guarding great array has been shattered by the Half-Saint Evil Corpse. The second set of ship-guarding great formations has also been severely damaged. Now, what to do?”
Situ Fengli’s face was calm and cold, still unperturbed by the change, and said, “That Half-Saint Evil Corpse, has also suffered heavy damage, put all the Spirit Crystals into it, inject them into the Earth Martial Saint Light Cannon, and duel with it.”
The Earth Martial Sacred Light Cannon, was also an attacking battle weapon forged by the Divine Engineering Department, and only needed to put light-attributed spirit crystals, into it, to erupt into an attack that was comparable to a Half-Saint level.
Of course, such a forbidden weapon could only be used in the Ruins Realm battlefield, specifically to deal with the strongest of the Ruins Realm natives.
“Quack!”
The Half-Saint Evil Corpse’s entire body was wrapped in a blood cloud as it rushed into the water.
Its face was hideous, and with a pair of bony hands, it struck forward, once again attacking towards the Half-Saint level battleship, wanting to pierce through the second set of ship protection formations.
Right at this moment, the Earth Martial Sacred Light Cannon had also gathered enough power to strike a bright pillar of light, striking towards the Half-Saint Evil Corpse.
“Boom!”
The two powerful forces collided together.
The Half-Saint Evil Corpse was struck through by the pillar of light, and its body immediately shattered, with a bang, pieces of rotting flesh and bones flew out and turned into pieces.
At the same time, the battleship’s second escort formation was also shattered by the Half-Saint Evil Corpse’s final blow.
Although, the ship-guarding great formation had cancelled out the vast majority of the power before it shattered. However, an attack at the Half-Saint level, even if it was just an aftershock, was still quite terrifying and not something that an ordinary Market Realm warrior could withstand.
“Poof!”
“Poof!”
A large swathe of Market Realm warriors of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, unable to withstand that devastating wave of attack, had their bodies shattered and blood flowed outwards like a stream, merging with the seawater that surged into the battleship.
A few moments later, the entire sea area, became completely red, emitting a strong bloody aura.
Just a single strike had caused more than half of the Market Realm warriors to die and sink to the bottom of the sea, it was truly tragic to the extreme.
Of course, there were many who survived and swam to the surface.
Their hearts were still beating furiously, their faces were pale, their vests were chilled, and they were gasping for air, with a feeling of having survived.
The strike of the Half-Saint Evil Corpse had also shattered the Half-Saint level warships.
Among them, the hull of the ship, which was made of metaphysical iron, sank to the bottom of the sea. The wooden hull fragments, on the other hand, floated up and floated on the surface of the sea.
Zhang Ruochen rushed out of the water and landed on top of a larger fragment of the ship that was more than thirty metres long, standing upright and looking quite dashing.
His body was still clean and dry, dripping with water.
Afterwards, Huang Yichen, Ao Xinyan, and the Orange Moon Star Envoy flew out of the water one after another, landing behind Zhang Ruochen.
Ao Xin Yan’s face, a little white, said, “Seeing a Half Saint level attack, I realise how worthless my current cultivation is.”
The Orange Moon Star Envoy gave a cold smile and said, “If you don’t become a Saint, you’re just an ant after all.”
Huang Yichen also had palpitations in his heart, saying, “Fortunately, the final strike of the Half-Saint level warship killed the Half-Saint Evil Corpse, otherwise, all of us would probably have died here.”
Ao Xin Yan frowned and said, “I don’t know what other dangers we’ll encounter ahead, and without the shelter of the Half-Saint level battleship, we definitely won’t be able to reach the Blood Spring Sea Trench. I think it’s better to return to Divine Turtle Island first.”
It wasn’t just Ao Xin Yan who had such thoughts, after experiencing the calamity just now and surviving the Market Realm warriors, a large portion of them were scared by the ferocity of this sea, and already didn’t dare to move forward, only wanting to return to Divine Turtle Island immediately.
Although the Xuanwu Inheritance was unattainable, it was not as important as one’s own life.
Zhang Ruochen’s ears twitched as he looked towards the white misty sea and solemnly said, ”Trying to retreat back is probably not an easy task. I seem to have heard something, swimming in our direction.”
“There is indeed something wrong, the temperature of the seawater, it seems to be getting higher and higher.”
Huang Yichen’s gaze, fixed on the water surface, began to mobilise his true qi, releasing his protective heavenly astral, carefully on guard.
The seawater became hotter and hotter, and a wisp of white water vapour, bubbled up.
“Gulong!”
In the next moment, the seawater completely boiled and bubbled up.
A red shadow, swam quickly through the water, and suddenly, with a clattering sound, a monstrous fish, more than ten metres long, rushed out of the water, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, and biting towards the Ruins Realm warrior on a piece of battleship debris.
That one monstrous fish had crimson scales, a huge head, and sword-like sharp teeth.
On its back, there was a pair of long feathers, each of which looked like a flame, emitting a high temperature that could melt steel.
It resembled a fish, a bird, and a beast.
It was precisely because, it had a pair of flame feathers, that it swam in the water and boiled the seawater.
Seeing the red monstrous fish’s huge mouth, the five Market Realm warriors on the battleship fragment immediately took out their True Martial Treasure Weapons, some using their battle swords, others using their heavy blades, and continuously attacked.
However, the red monstrous fish’s defence was quite astonishing, even when an eighth rank True Martial Treasure Weapon struck its body, it was unable to pierce through its scales.
One of its flaming feathers swung past one of the Market Realm warriors of the Heavenly Extremity Realm’s Minor Extremity Position, and a particle of sparks landed on that one Market Realm warrior’s body.
“Giggle!”
That one Market Realm Warrior’s body, immediately burst into flames, and miserable screams emanated from his mouth.
A moment later, his body, turned into a ball of black ash, and even the sixth rank True Martial Treasure Artifact grade battle armour he was wearing, melted into iron.
Aside from that eighth rank True Martial Treasure Artifact ranked battle sword, a Heavenly Extremity Realm Market Realm warrior died just like that, without even a single bone left.
“This is this is a monster?”
“Everyone, run away, once you get caught in the flames from its body, even True Martial Treasure Weapons will melt.”
The other four Market Realm warriors, wanted to escape, however, the red monster fish’s speed was astonishing, flying low in the air, catching up with them in a flash.
The red monster fish was still ten feet away from them, and the battle armour on their bodies was roasted red by the flames, becoming very hot.
Dead!
Just when the four Market Realm warriors thought they were in trouble, suddenly, above their heads, a sword light, flew past.
“Pfft!”
That sword light, which drew an arc in the void, released a sharp sword qi that chopped into the neck of the red monster fish, tearing open a foot-long gash.
The red monstrous fish let out a miserable scream, and with a pair of huge eyes, it looked towards Zhang Ruochen, who was controlling the flying sword.
A mere human actually dared to injure it.
Enraged, the red monster fish no longer paid attention to the four Market Realm warriors and flapped a pair of flaming feathered wings as it flew towards Zhang Ruochen.
“A sword from the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword actually failed to sever its neck, its defence power exceeds that of the Red Cloud Python Jiao.”
Zhang Ruochen stood straight on top of the battleship debris, one hand behind his back, the other hand cupped into a sword technique, and across the void, he mobilised the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and stabbed down towards the red monster fish’s wound.
Even if the red monster fish had a strong defence, it could not block the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword after all.
“Wow!”
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword stabbed into the red monster fish’s body, severing the major artery in the red monster fish’s neck before it flew back with a slice of blood, hovering above Zhang Ruochen’s head.
The red monster fish landed on the surface of the water, its mouth let out a “croak”, struggled for a moment, and gradually, the flames on its wings went out, completely dying.
Those four Market Realm warriors looked at the floating corpse of the red monster fish, and then looked at Zhang Ruochen, who was standing not far away, and only after they were sure that the red monster fish was dead did they finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Many thanks to Zhang Ruochen.”
The four Market Realm warriors hurriedly bowed to Zhang Ruochen to show their gratitude.
In their hearts, they were very emotional, they were all at the same Heavenly Extreme Realm cultivation, Zhang Ruochen was too powerful than them, and with two easy swords, he killed the red monster fish, the number one on the Heavenly Ranking List was indeed not a false name.
Zhang Ruochen just nodded gently, and then he harnessed the wind from the sea and flew up lightly, landing beside that one red monster fish, and his feet landed and stepped on the surface of the water.
A circle of tiny ripples spread out from where his feet were.
Zhang Ruochen stared at the body of the red monster fish, carefully sizing it up, and said to himself, “It really is a Red Trevally Beast.”
