"Whoosh!"
A vast shadow broke through the sea, spreading across ten miles. Several clusters, resembling living clouds, dispersed in large swathes before tightening and swirling repeatedly around.
At the same time, a series of bizarre cries pierced the air, so jarring that it made one want to cover their ears in annoyance.
"Sea Mouse? Sea Dog? How can there be so many!"
As the shadow emerged from the water, Ye Kai caught sight of their true forms.
Sea Mouse.
These were not ordinary rodents but ferocious beasts from the Rodent Clan of the sea. They resembled the two three-meter-tall black-scaled beasts that had just appeared, highly skilled in water-based magic, born to chase fish and pursue flying birds through the ocean.
Their sheer numbers were so vast that no one bothered to observe or collect them; they could almost be considered an environmental menace of the sea.
The shadows in the air were all over three meters tall, yet they had mouse-like heads with sharp snouts and long whiskers. Their pitch-black bodies featured membranous wings akin to those of a soaring eagle beneath their forelimbs and ribs.
However, among this group of Sea Mice, there was also a fifth of them that were Sea Dogs. They bore a similar appearance to the Sea Mice but had dog-like heads and exuded an even more ferocious aura.
This group of sea beasts occasionally dove into and leaped out of the water, soaring and then descending, their cacophony of strange cries making it unbearable to listen to.
Individually, these low-tier Sea Beasts might not be strong, but in such overwhelming numbers, even high-tier monsters would think twice before engaging. If Ye Kai were alone or encountered them before reaching the Core Formation stage, he would indeed have no choice but to flee in defeat.
As for now!
Looking at the multitude of Sea Mice and Sea Dogs spread out before him, a cold smile appeared on Ye Kai's face. Standing at the bow of the White Jade Pavilion Ship, he took a sip of red wine and calmly spoke, "What business do you all have in intercepting me?"
"Me?"
"Could it be a certain tribe's Royal Family?"
With two loud bangs, two middle-aged men with shifty eyes burst out from the Sea Surface, followed by four or five figures, some brutal and others exuding a menacing aura.
Suddenly, the group of demons saw Ye Kai and the numerous flying machines around him, their expressions changed drastically. Upon closer inspection, they gasped in shock.
"Ancient creations, hidden Sect?!"
"Do you recognize this person?"
"Heart Illusion Artifact Sect, Puppet Path!!!"
Ye Kai's heart stirred. Could this group be mistaking the flying machines for some kind of metallic puppets?
Puppets?
If his Combat Robot were to appear now, it might just fool them into thinking it was some Ancient Legend or something similar.
However, it seemed that the demon group did not hear Ye Kai's question. Even when they saw hundreds of flying machines, they merely boasted about what they knew without paying any attention to the so-called ancient puppets.
"Boom!!!"
Ye Kai smiled lightly and then extended a finger. With a loud bang, an Azure Blue Beam shot out and exploded in the midst of the Sea Urchin Group, sending up a spray of water dozens of meters high. A dozen Sea Mice and two Sea Dogs were caught off guard and instantly blown to pieces.
Feeling the group's indifferent attitude, even WIKI became a bit angry and decided to take matters into its own hands by firing a shot.
"Damn human brat, kill him for me!!"
Before him, the dark mass of the Sea Urchin Group suddenly parted, and a cacophony of shrieks erupted from the Sea Mice and Sea Dogs. At the same time, a black cloud exploded, revealing a short old man out of thin air.
This man stood less than three feet tall, dressed in a black, fuzzy garment resembling Sea Mouse fur. His face was sharp and thin, with sparse but long and pointed whiskers, complemented by a pair of long rodent-like teeth, making him look like a living humanoid rat.
Such a visage was unforgettable, as if he had a label stuck to his forehead that directly identified him.
A Golden Core Stage Sea Mouse Demon!
"Brat, hand over the Nine Essence Dew. If I'm in a good mood today, I might not feed you to my little ones."
"Oh, and don't forget the Seal; hand that over too!"
The short old man twirled his sparse whiskers as if suddenly realizing something important. However, everyone present understood his true intentions.
"Nine Essence Dew?!"
"The Seal?!"
Ye Kai raised an eyebrow. Although he didn't know what they were, it was clear that these were coveted items for more than a dozen Golden Core Stage Sirens. They must be extraordinary. With this thought in mind, he waved his sleeve nonchalantly and said, "If you have the ability, come and take it!"
"Haha! You won't shed tears until you see the coffin. A mere Heart-Moving Stage human cultivator really thinks he's something special?! I've lost count of how many like you I've killed in my lifetime."
The old monster cackled a few times and waved his arm as if summoning his treasures to surge forward.
"Wait!"
At that moment, a dark cloud hovering nearby suddenly burst open, revealing a refined-looking middle-aged man.
The man appeared to be in his thirties or forties, with a gaunt face. His loose robes did not make him look graceful; instead, they seemed somewhat comical. However, for some reason, his head of black hair was meticulously styled, shining brightly and neatly.
Yet, from his shoulders to the tips of his fingers, his arms were completely covered in a chilling bone armor. Each bone piece appeared translucent and white as high-quality jade, emitting a faintly unsettling cold light.
Behind him stood a White Bone Phantom Banner, and at his waist hung a bone whip.
As soon as he appeared, both the large rat from earlier and the other ferocious beasts—Sea Mice and Sea Dogs—scattered in panic.
Then, the middle-aged man with the bone armor on his arms suddenly moved. A massive bony claw reached out, ghostly flames flickering between its fingers, obscuring the sun.
He looked at Ye Kai and smiled coldly. "I am Bone Gate's Heartless Real Person. I see you are young yet possess remarkable cultivation. If you hand over the methods of the Heart Illusion Artifact Sect's Puppet Path, I will spare you. Otherwise, I will surely extract your soul and refine your essence, imprisoning you within the White Bone Phantom Banner for eternity."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Kai rolled his eyes dramatically. Above them, beams of eerie blue light began to illuminate the sky.
If you're going to fight, then just fight; stop dragging it out.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The Constant Energy Rapid-Fire Cannons unleashed a barrage that effortlessly shattered the enormous bony claw. Not only that, but they also did not spare the surrounding Sea Mice and Sea Dogs.
Tidal waves dozens of meters high surged forth, mixed with endless blood rain that fell down, startling all the hidden creatures nearby. They fled a thousand meters away in confusion.
In an instant, twelve hundred Sea Mice and over three hundred Sea Dogs were decimated under the relentless fire of the Constant Energy Rapid-Fire Cannons. In no time at all, large areas of the sea surface were stained red with blood.
Nearly seven hundred Sea Mice and over two hundred Sea Dogs had all turned into a rain of blood, leaving the demon tribe in a state of panic.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Following that, hundreds of Azure Blue Beams lit up the sky. In the blink of an eye, aside from a few Sea Mice still emitting mournful cries, only six Golden Core Stage Sea Witch Generals remained.
Ye Kai smirked lightly and asked, "Do you want more?"
