An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

Chapter 598 Hiding

Why do these sea creatures keep attacking the Azure Dragon Upper Spirit Academy?

Xu Fu was now certain that they had not come for the magical creatures, otherwise they would have gone to Hundred Flowers Island.

"Could they be being manipulated by someone?"

Xu Fu considered one possibility, but looking around, he saw only densely packed fish on the sea, not a single person in sight.

"Everyone! Stand back!"

While Xu Fu was still pondering the reasons, he suddenly heard Du Xian loudly remind him.

Xu Fu looked up abruptly and saw a "small mountain" rising from the previously calm sea.

Large amounts of seawater rushed onto the shore, stranding countless fish and shrimp.

As the tide receded, a huge crab shell was revealed, resembling a small island crashing onto the shore.

"Crab Demon King!"

Xu Fu cried out in surprise.

"You recognize him?" Du Xian asked with a serious expression as he approached Xu Fu after hearing his voice.

"We've fought before, but..."

"But what?"

"It wasn't this big back then!"

Xu Fu looked at the crab king's shell, which was more than twice the size of the one he had seen last time. If it weren't for the hole he had made on it before, he would have thought it was a different crab.

The Crab King, spitting out white foam, slowly climbed onto the beach.

The crab demon king trampled the fish and shrimp stranded on the beach, crushing them until their intestines were torn apart, but he didn't care at all and just kept crawling forward.

Before they could even stand up straight, a huge crab claw slammed down towards Xu Fu and Du Xian.

The two did not confront each other directly, but instead split up and dodged.

The crab claws slammed onto the beach, and everyone felt a sudden tremor beneath their feet, as if the entire island had been shaken by the Crab Demon King.

"A ninth-grade demonic beast!"

Du Xian made that judgment based on just one strike.

The students who had been hesitant when they heard Du Xian's order to retreat now looked fearful and quickly fled back into the magic array.

Du Xian took out a magic artifact and shut down the magic array. He knew very well that cultivators below the eighth rank were powerless against a ninth-rank demon beast, and staying would only increase the damage.

Xu Fu naturally wouldn't back down, and even when he heard the words "ninth-grade demon beast," he wasn't too nervous.

So what if he's a ninth-grade demon beast? He killed a dragon with his bare hands!

What's more, this one in front of him was his defeated opponent.

The Crab Demon King seemed to recognize Xu Fu as well. Unlike the other sea creatures, he did not attempt to attack the island's protective formation, nor did he pay attention to Du Xian, whose aura was surging. Instead, he charged straight toward Xu Fu.

Xu Fu was still wondering why this crab demon king didn't walk sideways like other crabs when its huge claws swung down.

"what!"

This time, Xu Fu didn't dodge. He wanted to test the Crab Demon King's strength, so he attacked with a move called "Tiger Descending the Mountain".

"Wow... huh?"

Everyone was amazed by Xu Fu's "high skill and great courage," but before the exclamation could end, Xu Fu was already sent flying and landed far away in the sea.

"Junior brother!"

Du Xian shouted, about to rush to the rescue, when he discovered that the Crab Demon King was heading towards the other students in the magic circle.

After hesitating for a moment, Du Xian cursed fiercely, turned around and rushed towards the Crab Demon King.

Xu Fu didn't come to his senses until he fell into the sea. He clenched his slightly numb fists and thought to himself, "Impressive."

He hadn't expected the Crab Demon King to be so incredibly strong, far surpassing the strength of the dragon he had killed.

Fortunately, Xu Fu had a strong physique, and this attack only made his arm feel sore and numb, and his blood and qi surge. If it were an ordinary cultivator, he would probably have been crushed to pieces long ago.

Xu Fu paused in the sea for a moment, and just as he was about to swim upwards, he suddenly heard a strange sound.

The sound came from ahead, like someone whistling.

Xu Fu had dived underwater many times before, but he had never heard such a sound before.

Xu Fuyun strained his eyes to look ahead, but could only see a dense, dark mass of fish.

Unable to figure it out, Xu Fu swam forward in the direction of the sound. Before he had swum a few strokes, he suddenly heard the tone of the voice change and become rapid.

Immediately, all the large fish that had been gathered on the shore turned around and rushed towards him.

Xu Fu was shocked and quickly threw a punch.

After all, Xu Fu's cultivation and strength were undeniable. Even if it was difficult to exert force in the sea, dealing with a few fish was still quite easy.

Xu Fu killed or knocked out almost every fish with each punch, and soon his surroundings were filled with large fish floating belly up.

However, these big fish, just like the giant crabs on the shore, have no idea what fear is.

More and more fish gathered together and rushed towards Xu Fu, like a "flood" surging in the sea, instantly "submerging" Xu Fu's body.

Xu Fu looked at the seemingly endless stream of giant fish and began to feel a little anxious. After all, there was still a ninth-grade crab demon king on the shore that he hadn't dealt with yet, so he couldn't waste his spiritual energy here!

Xu Fu leaped upwards, using the fish carcass for leverage, ignoring the surging school of fish, and withstood the impact of the large fish, bursting out of the sea in just a few moments.

With a flap of his wings, Xu Fu took flight.

Even after Xu Fu escaped from the sea, many large fish refused to give up and even leaped out of the water to try to bite him.

But Xu Fu's Wind and Thunder Wings were far superior to those of a few clumsy fish. In the blink of an eye, he was already more than ten feet away.

Xu Fu flapped his Thousand-Mile Wings and flew forward, his eyes flashing with intelligence as he searched his surroundings.

He suspected that someone was controlling these sea creatures, and that person was probably hiding in the sea.

However, Xu Fu could no longer hear the strange sound after leaving the sea, and he would probably have to return to the sea to find the source of the sound.

Xu Fu glanced at Du Xian, who was dealing with the Crab Demon King.

Even though Du Xian was a ninth-rank supreme being, this ninth-rank crab demon king was no pushover, and Du Xian could only rely on his agile movements to entangle with him.

The Crab Demon King was also unable to do anything about Du Xian for the time being.

Seeing that Du Xian was not in immediate danger, Xu Fu decided to "capture the leader first" and then retrieved Qianli Yi before falling back into the sea.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the water, Xu Fu heard that strange sound again. While the fish were still behind him, he hurriedly swam toward the direction from which the sound came.

At the same time, Xu Fu activated his Spirit Fire Eye and tried his best to look ahead.

"Ok?"

A large fish came into Xu Fu's sight.

There are many fish in the nearshore waters at this time, and this fish doesn't look particularly special from the outside.

But under Xu Fu's spiritual fire vision, he could clearly see the figure of a person in the mouth of this fish.

"You little rascal! You're really good at hiding!"

Xu Fu hadn't expected this person to be so cunning, hiding inside a fish's belly; no wonder he couldn't find him. Xu Fu cursed inwardly, then leaped out of the sea once more, urging his Thousand-Mile Wing forward.

When they rushed over, they found that the big fish had already disappeared.

Xu Fu used his spiritual fire eye once again and discovered that this time, the big fish had cunningly hidden itself among the school of fish.

With the fish blocking the view, even the Spirit Fire Eye couldn't clearly pinpoint the location of the large fish.

Countless large fish swarmed beneath the surface of the sea, forming a huge shadow, like a giant beast about to burst out of the water.

Xu Fu hovered in mid-air, took a deep breath, and rapidly gathered spiritual energy in his palm, eventually condensing it into a giant wind blade.

"upbraid!"

With a roar, Xu Fu slashed out fiercely with the wind blade in his hand.
