"How do you have one of the Sea Race's top Spirit ranked treasure?!"
Xue Sha smirked, "Oh this? Heh, it's just something the lords decided to lend me until I successfully claim the throne"
He raised the mirror over his head with one hand.
Shua!
The surrounding seawater churned and thick water attributed qi flowed into the mirror. The amount was so vast that Sheng Tian felt a bit threatened, and it seemed like it won't stop anytime soon.
Sheng Tian raised his sword over his head, "Heavenly Asura Sword Slash!"
A 30 meter tall red and blue sword appeared and Sheng Tian brought it down with all his strength. Xue Sha's eyes constricted as he felt the life threatening aura contained in the sword.
"Block him!"
The 6 sea people were too petrified to listen, and they were immediately eviscerated. However, their attempts to keep themselves alive brought a few extra seconds for Xue Sha to make a hand seal.
"Rise!"
As if bewitched, the huge fish beast lunged in front of Xue Sha. It opened its reeking maw and shot out a condensed pillar of water at Sheng Tian's attack.
BOOM!
The shockwaves ripped across the seawater and sent sharp wind blades in all directions. This was enough to weaken Sheng Tian's attack for Xue Sha to survive.
Swish!
The same could not be said for his pet however, as it was cut in half and sent falling down back to sea.
Splash!
The sea was turned partially red and many weaker magical beasts quickly swam to the corpse of the dead fish. A huge fight broke out over the flesh of the beast.
Finally, the Pure Ocean Mirror had fully charged and condensed 29 figures made of water. Their appearance solidified and the aura at the level of the 12th Foundation erupted from them.
Sheng Tian frowned and sent a voice transmission to Long Chen. He felt slightly threatened as each and every one of those figures were Heaven's Favorites.
'Who are they?'
Long Chen's expression was grim, 'Those are the projections of every expert that ascended from the entire sea race. Each of them left a bit of their soul and blood in the Pure Ocean Mirror and will remain until they die'
'So they are still alive, guess that's more problems for me to clean up in the future'
Suddenly, 27 of the figures dissipated, much to Xue Sha's astonishment.
Seeing this, Long Chen relaxed, "So you only have partial ownership of the Pure Ocean Mirror. Only your ancestors are willing to help you"
Sheng Tian breathed a sigh of relief, "Whew! So it's only 2 huh?"
Xue Sha grit his teeth, "So what? My 2 ancestors are more than enough to take down a few pieces of trash!"
"Go! Kill them!"
The two Blood Finned Shark ancestors lunged at Sheng Tian. Long Chen dashed forward at this moment and blocked one of them.
"You take care of the other one! These projections won't be able to come back for a while after being killed!"
Sheng Tian nodded in response and faced a middle aged man with purple skin and short spiky hair. He was shirtless and Sheng Tian could see that his skin was like rough sand and a few scales appeared here and there.
"Raging Sea Thunder!"
Without warning, the man launched a bolt of red lightning at Sheng Tian. It started spreading apart, forming spider web patterns in the sky.
"Tsk, even fish can use lightning now? Ether Spirit Body!"
Sheng Tian's body turned see through and he used the Illusory Snake Steps to quickly close the distance between him and the projection.
Meanwhile, the disciples had managed to fight the sea people to a standstill, with neither side suffering a casualty.
Long Chen was in an intense battle with a skinny man wielding a silver spear. He controlled 3 swords that flew through the air and harassed the fish man with fast and dangerous attacks.
Swish!
With great expertise, Long Chen split the fish man's spear in half.
Not wanting to lose out, Sheng Tian quickly closed the distance between him and his opponent. He passed right through the sea of lightning and made it right in front of the man.
"Soul Splitting Needle!"
With a shout, dozens of light needles formed and shot at Sheng Tian's ethereal body. However, right before they hit, Sheng Tian completely disappeared.
The projection was stunned and looked left and right when suddenly...
"Flowing Phantom Draw Sword!"
Swish!
In one fluid motion, Sheng Tian beheaded the man who was still too confused to register what had happened. His body then disintegrated into wisps of light that flew back to the Pure Ocean Mirror.
"You bastard! What have you done!?"
Sheng Tian smirked, not at Xue Sha but at Long Chen, who was still dealing with his opponent.
A few moments ago, when Sheng Tian was about to be hit with the needles condensed by the projection's soul, Sheng Tian used the Spirit Phantom Steps to disappear from sight. The technique temporarily removed his aura, and that was how he had managed to kill the man without much resistance.
Seeing Sheng Tian already finished with his fight, Long Chen decided that it was time to stop playing around. He made distance with the projection who was held back by several flying swords and made a series of hand seals.
"Golden Spirit Bell!"
An illusory gold bell appeared in front of Long Chen. Taking a deep breath, he punched the bell in the direction of his opponent with all his might.
Bang!
A condensed sound wave shot towards the skinny man who was still trying to deal with the swords.
"Argh!"
Blood spurted out of his 7 orifices as he fell slowly in the direction of the ocean. Right before he hit the water though, his body dissipated just light Sheng Tian's opponent did.
"N-no... This can't be!"
"Our great ancestors lost?"
Seeing their ancestors die, those from the Blood Finned Shark race despaired. Taking advantage of their loss of morale, the Sky Sword Sect disciples quickly changed into a sword shaped formation.
"Charge!"
"Kill them all!"
The most depressed one right now was none other than Xue Sha, who boasted that he will one day claim the throne of the Blood Finned Shark Race.
He grit his teeth, "Just you wait! I'll get my revenge soon!"
And with that, he ran with all his might.
Sheng Tian tried to chase after him, only for Long Chen to hold him back. He looked at Long Chen's hand which was holding a jade slip.
"I think we aren't the only ones being attacked"
