This powerful force could drown the entire island and destroy any Mystic Thearch. However, it was not enough to harm a tier-eight mid-tier divine beast, much less the strongest existence of the same element.
The huge difference in strength was a chasm that was hard to bridge. No matter how many attacks there were, it would be of no use.
Tie Linggong, Yin He, Lü Yi, Liu Sanyue, and the others looked at Ling Xiao and company, who were safe and sound, and their expressions turned ugly.
They all exclaimed in their hearts, "The name of the new generation's prodigies is indeed extraordinary!"
Those mercenary groups attacked with all their might again, and countless energy blanketed the sky and earth again.
This time, Ling Xiao and company were already prepared, and they quickly flew up from where they were.
"Dragon Lady, protect Meiying!" Ling Xiao shouted, and the Golden Dragon Spear appeared in his hand. At the same time, he summoned the Golden Dragon Wolf King and charged towards one of the mercenary groups.
At this time, Ling Xiao's defense was fully activated. His physical body was comparable to a saint artifact, and he also had the high-grade saint artifact, the Golden Dragon Spear. He moved like the wind and attacked with his formless spiritual energy.
Before the mercenary group in that direction could touch Ling Xiao, more than ten of them had already fallen.
Ling Xiao fought with all his might, and the Tyrant Dragon Spear Art was even more powerful. A terrifying dragon roar shook the surroundings.
Even though the mercenaries of the Heavenly Venerables had joined forces, Ling Xiao had still managed to tear a path of blood through their ranks.
Ah!
The mercenaries didn't even get to see Ling Xiao's figure before they were blasted to death.
On the other side, the Dragon Lady did not attack. She only protected Luo Meiying and did not let her get hurt.
Luo Meiying did not want Ling Xiao to take the risk alone. She said to the Dragon Lady, "Go and help him. I can protect myself."
After all, she was a low-tier Mystic Thearch. Did she not even have the ability to protect herself?
In Ling Xiao's eyes, she indeed did not have the ability to protect herself. After all, there were many people here, and there were a few Mystic Thearchs eyeing her from the side. Her strength did not seem to have any advantage.
It was not that the Dragoness did not want to help, but she obeyed Ling Xiao's orders. She was only responsible for protecting Luo Meiying, so there was no need for her to help for the time being.
In the face of those attacks, the Dragoness just casually blasted them back.
She did not take the initiative to attack, but many people still fell at her hands.
Ling Xiao was in high spirits. With the Golden Dragon Spear in hand, he was like a dragon entering the sea, killing these mercenaries.
The few Great Mystic Emperors who were watching the battle from a distance grew increasingly gloomy.
"We must not let him continue killing. Otherwise, all of our people will die. This brat is too scary!" Lu Yi shouted.
These people were all elites in their mercenary groups. Every death was a heavy loss. What's more, they had lost dozens of people in just a few blinks of an eye. If this went on, even if they killed Ling Xiao, their mercenary group would only be left with the bald commander. What use would that be?
"That's right. We have to use the second plan. We have to kill this brat as soon as possible!" Liu Sanyue also responded with a livid expression.
Tie Linggong hesitated for a while and said, "Alright, then let's let this brat know how powerful we are!"
"We must let this brat die here!" Yin He said viciously.
Immediately after, they all summoned their spirit beasts.
They dared to lure Ling Xiao to Red Rock Island because they were 100% confident that they could kill Ling Xiao.
Apart from the joint attack of hundreds of Heavenly Venerables, they naturally had a backup plan.
Their backup plan was to rely on their powerful protective spirit beasts.
Although Lu Yi was only a middle-stage Mystic Thearch, his spirit beast was an eight-clawed cockroach fish. Its body was like a small hill, and it had big eyes and a sharp mouth. It looked very ugly, and its eight tentacles kept shaking and retracting as if it was showing off.
Tie Linggong's spirit beast was also an eight-clawed cockroach fish. It was a Giant Sea Shark. Its huge body looked very bloated, and its big mouth looked very ferocious. The fangs it showed were extremely sharp and bloodthirsty.
Liu Sanyue's spirit beast was slightly weaker, but its strength was still stronger than a low-stage Mystic Thearch like him. It was a striped snake python at the mid-stage of the seventh-stage. It had a bit of dragon might and was extraordinary. Its aura was not weaker than the eight-clawed cockroach fish or the Giant Sea Shark.
Yin He's spirit beast was her blue-crowned roc, which was a spirit beast at the same level as a flood dragon. It was already a low-stage seventh-stage spirit beast. Its blue crown was very eye-catching, and its long blue tail was also very beautiful.
The spirit beasts that the other Mystic Thearchs had summoned were also above the seventh-stage. One or two of them were even a level stronger than their masters.
Under normal circumstances, any martial artist's protective spirit beast would be at the same level as the martial artist, or one level lower. Some martial artists were especially lucky, and their spirit beasts would be stronger than themselves.
The latter type of martial artist either had their spirit beasts subdued by their elders, or their spirit beasts had encountered some good opportunities that helped them advance faster.
After all, there were not many people like Ling Xiao, who could make two divine beasts pursue him loyally.
However, the spirit beasts of the three mercenary team leaders were a level stronger than themselves. This was a little strange.
Why did this happen?
Of course, it had something to do with the environment of this sea region.
In fact, in this sea region, many powerful martial artists' protective spirit beasts were a level or even two levels higher than themselves.
This didn't mean that the spirit beasts in the sea were easy to subdue. It was just that there were a lot of spirit beasts in the sea, and the competition was more intense.
Although the sea region was incomparably vast, the truly powerful spirit beasts all had their own territory and viewed any opponent as food.
Therefore, there were many spirit beasts that were on the verge of death in the sea region. Many mercenaries on the sea were lucky enough to bump into these spirit beasts. Without much effort, they could subdue them. This was also the reason why the three mercenary team leaders could have spirit beasts that were of a higher level than them.
It was also because of this that they had enough confidence to lure Ling Xiao to the sea and had the confidence to make Ling Xiao stay here forever.
After all, two tier-seven high-stage spirit beasts were comparable to two peak-stage Mystic Thearchs. Even if Ling Xiao brought people over, he wouldn't bring many high-stage Mystic Thearchs, right?
Moreover, there were only three of them now. Wouldn't it be easy to deal with them?
If the dead Mystic Thearchs from the Gu Clan or Sha Tian knew that this was their plan in the Yellow Springs, they would definitely jump up from the ground and curse, "You are all a bunch of fools who were kicked by a donkey!"
If these few high-stage spirit beasts were enough to kill Ling Xiao, then Ling Xiao would already be on his way to the Yellow Springs.
"Everyone, disperse!" Lü Yigao shouted and commanded his Eight-Clawed Cockroach to attack first.
Tie Linggong, Liu Sanyue, Yin He, and the others also commanded their respective spirit beasts to disperse.
Ten tier-seven spirit beasts were comparable to the hundreds of Heavenly Venerates and sixth-grade spirit beasts in front of them.
Ten different spirit beasts flew into the sky and surrounded Ling Xiao. They glared at Ling Xiao angrily and shot out elemental attacks from their mouths.
The attack of a tier-seven spirit beast was incomparable to that of a tier-six spirit beast. Moreover, they could borrow more water-elemental spirit energy from the surroundings.
The tentacles of the Eight-Clawed Cockroach seemed to be able to extend infinitely as they wrapped around Ling Xiao. Even a peak-stage Mystic Thearch would find it hard to break free once he was entangled. The Giant Sea Shark opened its bloody mouth and tried to devour Ling Xiao. Its terrifying mouth was terrifying to look at. The snake python and the Roc waited at the side for an opportunity. The rest of the spirit beasts guided the surrounding waves to attack Ling Xiao. Countless waves came like tsunamis, crashing towards Ling Xiao. Their speed and strength were extremely terrifying. Even a high-stage Mystic Thearch would find it hard to deal with them.
Ling Xiao was only a high-stage Heavenly Venerate. No matter how fast he was, he could only dodge the attacks of the Eight-Clawed Cockroach and the Giant Sea Shark. He couldn't dodge the attacks of the other spirit beasts. Fortunately, his body was comparable to a saint artifact. Although his blood was surging from the attacks, it wasn't enough to cause him serious injuries.
However, he was worried that he would be caught by the Eight-Clawed Cockroach or devoured by the Giant Sea Shark. After all, these two were famous for their ferocity in the sea.
The Golden Wolf King's third eye didn't even have a chance to display its power before it was smashed by the waves and sent flying far away.
"Dragon Lady, hurry and save Xiao. He can't take it anymore!" Luo Meiying grabbed the Dragon Lady's arm and begged.
"Don't worry. Boss will be fine!"
The Dragon Lady wanted to help as well. However, she wouldn't act recklessly without receiving a voice transmission from her boss.
"If you're not going, I'll go!" Luo Meiying said indignantly. She wanted to fly towards Ling Xiao.
However, she was held back by the Dragon Lady. She couldn't leave even half a step.
"Haha, I told you that he would die in the sea. Even if there were a few more Ling Xiao, he would still die!" Tie Linggong laughed heartily.
This time, he was taking a huge risk to stand up for his junior sister. If Ling Xiao hadn't destroyed the Dark Water Sect that he used to be in, he wouldn't have gone against Ling Xiao.
"That's right. We are in charge here. So what if he is a genius of the new generation? He is a tough duck here, and we are the overlords of the sea!" Lü Yi agreed.
"Hehe, in this place, even a dragon has to coil up, a tiger has to crouch, and even a girl has to lie down!" Liu Sanyue sneered as she flew toward the Dragon Lady and Luo Meiying.
In his eyes, Ling Xiao was already a dead man. These two exquisite girls were also food on his plate. He couldn't wait to enjoy them.
Two of his subordinates went with him. He knew that these two exquisite girls were not easy to deal with.
"Boss, I will capture them for you to enjoy!" One of the low-tier Mystic Thearchs wanted to be the first to act. As he spoke, he formed a seal with both his palms. The surrounding seawater surged in from all directions.
Water Dragon Binding Prison!
The waves formed several huge water dragons that flew towards the two girls. They were not weak at all.
Just as the water dragons were about to surround the two girls, the Dragon Lady made her move.
Her seemingly petite fist had the power to break through the waves. With one punch, the water dragons were sent flying.
Bang!
The powerful fist force did not stop there. It flew towards the low-tier Mystic Thearch who had made the move.
Before that low-tier Mystic Thearch could react, the fist force pierced through his chest. His entire body flew far away like a cannonball. He died instantly.
