High in the sky, on the back of a falcon, Lin Ce looked at Yu Jiu, who was enveloped in bubbles.
At this moment, Yu Jiu, who was encased in the bubble, desperately opened his mouth wide, trying to say something, but he couldn't make a sound at all.
Perhaps it wasn't that she couldn't make a sound, but rather that her voice was blocked within the bubble's range and couldn't be heard by Lin Ce outside the bubble.
The bubble looked thin and fragile, as if it could burst with the slightest touch.
However, Yu Jiu, trapped inside the bubble, struggled desperately, pounding on the inner wall of the bubble from the inside, but to no avail.
The bubble only looks fragile.
With the strength of a seventh-grade martial artist like Yu Jiu, even a thick stone wall could be shattered with a single blow.
However, the sharp, crisscrossing energy struck the inner wall of the bubble, but it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, failing to exert any effect whatsoever.
The bubbles gradually drifted away.
Lin Ce had already gripped the spear tightly in his hand.
He could tell that the bubbles themselves were not harmful to human life.
Based on previous information, it's possible that it's simply a being trying to separate itself from others.
Clearly, the unknown being has some kind of relationship with Yu Jiu and does not intend to harm her.
But Lin Ce still made a decisive move.
He doesn't care what others plan for him; he never intends to be led by the nose by others.
"Buzz~"
High in the sky, his body emitted continuous vibrations.
Every inch of his flesh and blood shone brightly at that moment.
Although he did not reveal his brilliance due to his flawless body, at this moment, his strength as an innate martial artist had already been pushed to its limit.
The spear in his hand trembled incessantly.
A blazing aura emanated from the gun and permeated the air.
"Boom!"
The spear thrust out, its intense aura almost forming a phantom of a dragon.
Like a fire dragon leaping out, the tip of the spear landed on the outer wall of the bubble.
It's hard to imagine that simply pricking a thin and fragile bubble could produce such a huge commotion.
The airflow became erratic, and the bubble burst open, freeing Yu Jiu, who landed back on the falcon's back.
"Interesting. A mere sixth-grade Xiantian cultivator possesses such astonishing combat power."
A gentle, soothing voice rang out at that moment.
Lin Ce looked over and saw that the illusory figure that had appeared in the air had now become solid.
His facial features can now be clearly seen.
She was a woman of stunning beauty, whose age was impossible to discern, yet her brows seemed to carry a hint of the vicissitudes of time.
"Little Jiu, you actually brought human martial artists here. Don't you know the risks involved?"
Her gaze fell on Yu Jiu.
"You...you know my name?"
Yu Jiu's mind was completely blank; she was still in shock from what had just happened.
"Of course you told me. As a half-merman, don't you know that in front of half-mermen, your opponent has no secrets at all?"
Yu Jiu was startled, vaguely recalling that he seemed to have heard some strange sound just now.
That should be a method similar to "Sea Mirage Sound," but it is far more powerful and bizarre than what I have mastered.
Unbeknownst to them, the other party had also gathered a great deal of information.
Lin Ce also stared at the figure with a solemn expression.
Compared to Yu Jiu, he had much more information hidden in his heart.
He absolutely could not accept it if someone were to take it out of his hands.
However, Lin Ce believed that he had not yet fallen into the illusion created by the other party.
Having used skill points to upgrade "Sea Mirage" to a higher level, his resistance to similar methods naturally far exceeds that of Yu Jiu.
"Who are you?"
He asked the figure a question.
Didn't Xiao Jiu tell you?
The figure smiled slightly, “Among your human race, there are predecessors whose martial arts skills are much stronger. You can think of me as a predecessor like that among the half-mermaid race.”
"Of course, that's not important."
The figure's gaze gradually turned cold. "The important thing is that my existence should not be known to human martial artists. What do you think I would do to you now that you happen to know this?"
The implied meaning in this sentence is not difficult to understand.
Yu Jiu's expression changed drastically.
"Senior...he came at my request, please show leniency..."
However, such requests did not have much effect.
"So why did you ask a human warrior for help? How could there be such a harmonious relationship between half-demons and humans?"
"For your sake, I won't interfere further, but whether he can escape from this tornado is up to fate."
As soon as the words were spoken, the solidified figure suddenly exploded, and specks of light rained down in the air.
Lin Ce instinctively blocked with his spear, but he was clearly too slow.
Fish Nine on the Falcon has completely disappeared.
Below, a rain of pale blue light surrounded Yu Jiu, carrying her as she sank into the water.
Lin Ce's face was gloomy.
By this point, he was fully aware that the gap in strength between himself and his opponent was simply too great.
Once the other party gets serious, you won't even have the ability to protect the people around you.
"Huh?"
As his gaze drifted, a soft spot of light caught his attention.
On the falcon's back, there was a bead, more lustrous than jade, floating in the air.
"What's this?"
Sensing a strange power emanating from it, Lin Ce didn't have time to think too much and simply put it away.
Because a feng shui tornado has arrived.
"You should run for your life first. We'll meet again when we have the chance."
He blew a short whistle sharply, sending the falcon soaring into the sky, while Lin Ce himself leaped downwards.
He pushed the "Shadow-Sweeping Wind Leg" to its limit at this moment.
Having mastered the ninth level of this martial art, ten figures instantly appeared, mimicking the previous "Stopping the Wind Footwork" technique, and actively plunged into the wind tornado, running at top speed along the direction of the gale.
However, the method of "stopping the wind" had clearly led it to an irrecoverable state.
Lin Ce also encountered the same situation.
Within the tornado, endless streams of water rushed in, transforming into incomparably sharp vortex blades that slashed directly at him.
Lin Ce's face was ashen; he would not sit idly by and wait for his death.
With a flick of his spear, he unleashed the "Crimson Dragon Spear Technique," thrusting it towards the oncoming vortex of blades.
"Boom boom boom~"
When the spear came into contact with the water, boundless power erupted, producing a deafening roar.
The intense force of the gunshot clashed with the chilling water, creating a misty atmosphere.
The vortex cutter wheel was broken.
But these are just a few cutting wheels.
The tornadoes all around seemed to be sharks that had smelled blood, and they all swarmed in, with even more water whirlpools within them.
The area within several hundred feet around Lin Ce had become a hellish realm.
Deep underwater, Yu Jiu sensed this scene and was stunned.
"You actually took the opportunity to leave him a 'mermaid pearl'. If you put this pearl in your mouth, you can walk on water as if it were flat ground. It's a pity that he may not know how to use it. Even if he does, it will be useless against my Wind Dragon Tornado Blade Formation."
Beside her stood a figure with an indifferent expression on her stunningly beautiful face.
"He is doomed. Remember not to give away mermaid pearls lightly in the future. This is related to your own resources. Wasting too much of it will not benefit your future progress."
