Chapter 623: Heart of the Deep Sea
Ye Fei ignored the look Wenren Qi gave her that seemed to say, "Are you a monster?"
Mu Jingshen gripped the pill tightly: "Alright, we will do our best to hold off the Netherworld Ghost and buy you more time."
Ye Fei solemnly said, "Remember, your goal is to hold off the Netherworld Ghost, not to kill it. Therefore, there is no need for a fierce battle. Just circle around it. Your own safety is the most important thing."
Mu Jingshen and Wenren Qi exchanged a glance, seeing trust in each other's eyes.
Since we're going to cooperate, we have to completely entrust our backs to each other.
The four had almost finished discussing their battle plan and were ready to begin their operation.
Ye Fei and Huang Rongyu hid in a relatively secluded corner.
Mu Jingshen drew the Shattered Void Sword from its sheath, deliberately emitting fluctuations of spiritual energy.
The slumbering ghost of the underworld keenly sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the seawater. Its four eyes instantly opened, and several long, thin, crimson tentacles began to waver, stirring up wave after wave of surging tides.
Wenren Qi raised his hand, and dense black spiritual energy condensed in his palm. With a cold expression, he waved his hand, and the dark spiritual energy swept across the Netherworld Ghost with a whoosh!
The ghostly figure swayed its body, using the buoyancy of the water to lightly evade Wenren Qi's attack, and then swung its tentacles to strike the two of them.
Mu Jingshen swiftly swung his sword, the blade carrying icy energy, and slashed one of the tentacles off!
The ghostly Mingchen let out a shrill cry, the sound waves were so intense and ear-piercing that Wenren Qi and Mu Jingshen couldn't help but cover their ears.
With a "whoosh," the ghostly spirit Mingchen seized the opportunity to sweep its tentacles toward the two of them again. Mu Jingshen reacted quickly, his body bursting with ice-type spiritual energy, freezing everything in its path!
"Walk!"
Mu Jingshen gave a cold shout, and Wenren Qi nodded. The two figures swiftly swam towards the outside of the cage.
The Ghost of the Underworld was furious. These two damned humans dared to challenge its dignity on its territory!
It wants to seize them, dig out their spiritual roots, and drain all the spiritual energy from their bodies!
The ghostly figure of Mingchen swayed its enormous, transparent body, following Mu Jingshen and Wenren Qi like a swimming fish.
As the sounds of battle faded into the distance, Ye Fei, who was hiding in a corner, made a gesture to Huang Rongyu, and the two of them immediately slipped into the cave.
The cave wasn't particularly deep; it only took about ten steps to reach the end.
An irregularly shaped, water-colored object emitting a faint glow floats quietly in a cradle formed by seaweed. Beneath it lies a black stone with gold undertones, seemingly there to hold the object in place.
Ye Fei could feel a warm, moist aura emanating from the object.
Unlike the equally gentle wood-based spiritual energy, this is a purer power.
Huang Rongyu closed his eyes. This thing gave him a very comfortable feeling, like flowing water surrounding his body, gently soothing every part of his body.
"This is... the Heart of the Deep Sea?" Ye Fei blinked.
“Indeed.” Boundless voice echoed in my ears, “The Heart of the Deep Sea, a peerless treasure coveted by countless spiritual masters, though not a divine object, is comparable to one.”
Ye Fei looked at Huang Rongyu and said, "Rongyu, the Heart of the Deep Sea is a treasure of the water, and you are a water-type spirit master, so perhaps you can pick it up."
“Alright, I’ll give it a try.” Huang Rongyu didn’t refuse. He strode over and spread his five fingers toward the Heart of the Deep Sea—
Before the fingertips even touched it, a powerful force swept outwards from the heart of the deep sea!
