Infinite Bloodcore

Chapter 302: Section 90: Feng Yao

“If I’d known it would be like this, I would have gone straight to the Divine Temple.”

The effect turned out to be far beyond the youth’s expectations.

The youth, elated, swam swiftly back to his original location and mutated back into the brown-scaled hustler.

Soon, he received a conscription command and rushed to the battlefield alongside Man Ying.

The three clan leaders had already rushed over and were shouting at the five-headed serpent, attempting to communicate and wake its consciousness.

No use!

The five-headed serpent itself was a sea beast, with limited intelligence, a greedy nature, and ferocity.

Before the youth’s stealthy maneuver, it had also drunk wine, muddling its brain even further.

Now, it had been ambushed, its body was injured, and the intense pain continuously drove it into a frenzy.

“What on earth is happening?”

“It’s the murderer who did it, he triggered the explosion, hoping to blow up our esteemed five-headed one!”

“So vicious, so malicious, the murderer wants to destroy Sea Eye City!”

The three clan leaders trembled with rage, utterly furious.

Bang, bang, bang.

The five-headed serpent took large strides, charging through the city, crushing many stone houses under its weight as if they were brittle toys collapsing swiftly.

Its maws wide open, some spewed venom, others flashed with lightning, while yet another revealed ferocious steel teeth.

“Honored five-headed one, please calm down!” A follower of the Evil God cast divine light, illuminating the five-headed serpent.

The next moment, the serpent’s massive tail swept through, slamming the follower to his death, his body flying far away.

Blocks of houses collapsed, a large amount of dust and sand rose, obscuring Sea Eye City behind the five-headed serpent.

Combat Skill—Barbaric Charge!

The Barbarian Fish Clan leader donned Heavy Armor and rammed headlong into the five-headed serpent’s body.

The serpent took a small step back, then one of its steel-jawed heads descended from above, snapping shut and producing sparks even underwater.

At the critical juncture, the leader of the Barbarian Fish Clan was pulled away by the current.

The one casting the spell was the leader of the Silver Hook Clan.

Meanwhile, the leader of the Poison Arrow Tribe circled outside, continuously opening his mouth and shooting poisonous arrows.

The arrows struck the five-headed serpent and looked like toothpicks sticking out of its body.

The serpent, facing resistance, became angrier and set its main target on the three clan leaders.

The clan leaders were only of the Silver Level and were quickly at a disadvantage against the Gold Level, angry sea beast, growing more disheveled.

The Fishman youth followed behind Man Ying, standing in the distance, watching the battle silently in astonishment.

Despite suffering such a violent explosion and serious injuries that caused unstoppable bleeding, the five-headed serpent could still fight so aggressively.

“The mother of this five-headed serpent is a Holy Beast, its bloodline is extraordinary. Whether it be defensive power, Recovery Power, or endurance, all are incredibly formidable.”

The stronger the five-headed serpent was, the more destruction it caused, and the happier the youth’s heart grew.

“All three clan leaders are of the Silver Level, unable to match the Gold Level five-headed serpent. They are clearly restricted, bound by the serpent’s status and backing, unable to truly harm it.”

The youth, as the instigator, felt suffocated on behalf of the three clan leaders.

Crack!

A lightning bolt struck towards the Poison Arrow clan leader.

The Poison Arrow clan leader was on guard, immediately swimming to the side.

But who could have anticipated the lightning suddenly changed direction, following him and hitting him squarely.

The Barbarian Fish and Silver Hook clan leaders hurried to help but found the other four heads of the serpent lunging at them.

They could only retreat, leaving the Poison Arrow clan leader behind.

The Poison Arrow clan leader, hit by the electric shock, paralyzed, helplessly watched a gaping maw swallow him whole.

This scene immediately triggered screams of horror from the Fishmen.

“Save the Clan Leader!” The Fishmen from the Poison Arrow Tribe bravely stepped forward, charging at the five-headed serpent.

The five-headed serpent spat three streams of venom in quick succession, poisoning hundreds of oncoming Fishmen of the Poison Arrow Tribe on the spot.

“Don’t act rashly!” The Silver Hook Clan Leader roared, trying desperately to take command of the situation.

However, after losing the leader of the Poison Arrow Tribe, the two remaining Silver Level Transcendents were even less of a match for the five-headed serpent.

“Could it be that today is the day Sea Eye City falls?” Man Ying murmured to himself, his gaze lost upon the battlefield.

Even he had lost the will to fight, much less the other Fishmen.

“`

If it had been a Golden Level Fishman, perhaps the destruction wouldn’t have reached this magnitude. The Silver Transcendent was not dealing with a Golden Level powerhouse, the Dragon-man youth had defeated the Golden Hook brothers.

“`

“`

The critical issue was that the creature destroying Sea Eye City was a five-headed snake.

“`

“`

Such a Gold Level sea beast was massive in size and particularly good at using its strength to oppress the weaker, causing wanton destruction.

“`

“`

As Sea Eye City was on the brink of ruin, a spell suddenly descended from nowhere, turning the water into a tight magical binding that ensnared the five-headed snake.

“`

“`

A Gold Level Fishman Shaman had floated up above Sea Eye City.

“`

“`

“It’s Lady Fu Bai!”

“`

“`

“Lord Five-Head is being controlled!”

“`

“`

“Truly worthy of being Lady Fu Bai, the only Golden Level Spellcaster in Sea Eye City for over a century.”

“`

“`

The Fishmen were thrilled and their morale surged.

“`

“`

However, the face of the elder Fishman Shaman Fu Bai grew progressively more pained, and her body trembled slightly.

“`

“`

Her condition was really deteriorating; each time she fought, she burned up her already scarce lifespan.

“`

“`

But at this moment, she had no choice but to fight.

“`

“`

Sea Eye City was not just the foundation—it was her home!

“`

“`

The five-headed snake roared furiously, struggling madly, but was still bound in place, unable to move.

“`

“`

Countless gazes of reverence, shock, and adoration focused on Fu Bai.

“`

“`

Compared to the five-headed snake, Fu Bai’s body seemed incredibly small, but it was this small body that unleashed a powerful spell to subdue the five-headed snake.

“`

“`

The current Clan Leader of the White-Eyed Clan immediately swam to Fu Bai’s side to act as her guard.

“`

“`

Fu Bai transmitted to him and the Barbarian Fish Clan Leader simultaneously, “I can only hold on for ten minutes.”

“`

“`

Both clan leaders’ faces changed dramatically.

“`

“`

Ten minutes?

“`

“`

That was far too short a time.

“`

“`

According to their understanding of the five-headed snake, it wouldn’t calm down without causing trouble for at least half a day.

“`

“`

“What should we do?”

“`

“`

“Let’s ask those Divine Officers to help; they share the same faith as us.”

“`

“`

After quickly consulting, the two clan leaders issued their orders.

“`

“`

Surviving followers of the Evil God immediately began casting various Divine Arts, landing them on the five-headed snake, but to little effect.

“`

“`

Time mercilessly ticked away, second by second.

“`

“`

Fu Bai transmitted again, “There’s only one choice now, release that person and let him subdue the five-headed snake!”

“`

“`

The faces of the two clan leaders changed once more.

“`

“`

Barbarian Fish scoffed, “Shall we ask that blasphemer for help?”

“`

“`

“This is our only chance. If he doesn’t help, we will have to abandon Sea Eye City,” Fu Bai said.

“`

“`

Barbarian Fish fell silent, unable to argue.

“`

“`

After a few breaths, his face turned the color of iron, but he agreed.

“`

“`

The leader of the White-Eyed Clan naturally followed Fu Bai’s plan, while the Poison Arrow Tribe, now led by an acting Clan Leader, also consented.

“`

“`

Once all three clans had agreed, Xia Bai was tasked with the duty and swiftly swam away, heading back to the depths of her own family’s fortress, into a secret prison.

“`

“`

The prison was affected by a spell that had expelled all water, filling it with breathable air.

“`

“`

She moved through the prison with ease, arriving to see a Human Race youth lying on the ground, fast asleep.

“`

“`

Scattered around the youth were empty wine jars, and both his wrists and ankles were bound by Magic Restriction Bracelets. From each bracelet extended iron chains embedded into the surrounding walls.

“`

“`

“Lord Feng Yao! Wake up, come on, wake up!” Xia Bai shook the youth’s body, trying to stay gentle in both tone and action, despite her anxiety.

“`

“`

The youth woke to reveal an exceedingly handsome face, his blurry, drunken eyes barely opening to show a star-like brilliance, “Ah, my beautiful Goddess, my beloved…”

“`

“`

Xia Bai felt a flush on her fishy face, “Lord Feng Yao, I am not a Goddess, look carefully, I am Xia Bai!”

“`

“`

“Oh, Miss Xia Bai, is that you? What, you want to hear more stories about the Holy Bright Continent?”

“`

“`

“No, not this time. I need your help. There’s been a huge explosion, the Divine Temple has collapsed, and Lord Five-Head has gone berserk. Right now, my great-grandmother has Lord Five-Head under control, but it’s only temporary. We, the three clans, have agreed to set you free, but please, intervene and bring Lord Five-Head to his senses!” Xia Bai spoke quickly, explaining the situation in a hurry.

“`

“`

“Oh? Something like that happened? Interesting! But I kind of don’t feel like leaving.” Feng Yao said with a smile, “It’s quite nice here, there’s wine every day, and I get to enjoy the charming delicacies of the Fishman race. Most importantly, this is the closest I’ve been to my Goddess.”

“`

“`

“Lord! If Sea Eye City falls, the Goddess you adore is sure to be angry.”

“`

“`

“Ah, indeed that’s true. Then I must act. Where’s my instrument?”

“`

“`

“Just get to the battlefield. Once you’re there, your instrument will surely be delivered on time.” Saying so, Xia Bai used her spellcasting to unlock the shackles on the Human Race youth Feng Yao.

“`

“`

Feng Yao regained his freedom, flicking his long hair with nostalgia, taking one last glance at the prison, and then left with a chuckling Xia Bai.
