"Lu Zheng, I can sense multiple strong auras ahead" Themur said.
Lu Zheng opened his eyes and released his own Sea of Consciousness before nodding: "It seems like a fight"
"Should we avoid it?" Themur asked licking his lips. He knew that during fights between martial practitioners, there were always casualties and as a beast, eating those casualties was the greatest joy.
"Yes" Lu Zheng replied. "There are many types of people in this world and most of them aren't sane. Our battle strength is still nothing before the powers of this world and we can't afford to make enemies at every turn"
Themur nodded in understanding. Lu Zheng's thoughts were wise.
He swiftly turned to avoid the fight ahead.
As they flew, the sight of a colossal beast entered their range of vision.
It was a large octopus-like beast the height of many story buildings. A bright shiny mirror shined on its forehead.
Fifteen martial practitioners with various cultivation bases surrounded it and were engrossed in fighting the large beast.
Although it was outnumbered, the beast held the upper hand. Its massive tentacles would slither around to strike the martial practitioners and inflict numerous injuries on them.
The beast was also very injured.
~A rank six beast! Who are these people?~
Lu Zheng and Themur watched on curiously as they maintained a safe distance from the fight.
"Come on you guys! Persevere!" One of the martial practitioners yelled. "We can't let it run loose"
"You want my darling mirror right!?" The beast bellowed. "You land walkers dared to disturb my slumber, you will all die!"
Lu Zheng sensed the aura of the beast and knew that the human side would definitely lose. They were already on their last legs.
"Let's go" Lu Zheng said to Themur.
"No one shall escape!" The beast roared as one of its tentacles slithered towards Lu Zheng and Themur before slapping at them.
"Shit!" Lu Zheng cussed. He had underestimated the attack range of the beast.
Themur and Lu Zheng were sent flying many metres away but they were relatively unharmed.
"We mean no harm. We were only passing by" Themur tried to explain but was cut short by the beast.
"You are land walkers. I despise land walkers! Die!" The beast's tentacles slithered from below and grabbed Themur and Lu Zheng as it began to squeeze them.
"Aargh!" Lu Zheng groaned as a dozen Fire Dragons manifested above him and attacked the tentacle grabbing them.
"Swoosh!"
Thick jets of water shot out of the pores on the tentacle, eliminating the Fire Dragons at once.
They had not even left a single scratch on the tentacle.
The fifteen martial practitioners were all dead and Lu Zheng and Themur were the last prey of the sea beast.
"Hnng!" Lu Zheng was in serious pain as he controlled many drops of Vermillion Blood to fly out of his body.
As soon as they flew from his body, they were consumed by the mirror on the beast's head.
The sound of chains breaking could be heard as the mirror flew into the sky.
"My mirror! You are also after my mirror! Die!" Water rose from the sea and condensed into a small mass of water.
The aura of death was already dawning on Lu Zheng.
The small mass of water shot towards Lu Zheng with a great speed, threatening to kill him and Themur.
The mirror mid-air shined brightly and the clouds above it in the sky began to rotate and collect.
The day turned dark and only the mirror could be seen but no one was paying attention to it.
The sea beast was hell bent on ending Lu Zheng and Themur's life.
"Pzoooom!"
A gut wrenching sound could be heard as a beam of crimson light formed from the surface of the mirror and struck the sea beast immediately.
The crimson light caused the sea level in this area to instantly decrease as water evaporated instantly.
"What the…"
