Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1466: Chapter 1202: Collapse

Although Li Zhirui had been quite gentle before, when it truly came to a fight, he was unbelievably ruthless!

”Slash!”

With a loud shout, countless wooden swords flew out of thin air, slashing down on the Water Devil.

The Water Devil snorted disdainfully at this sight, not taking the attack seriously at all, merely activating a layer of defensive spiritual energy with a wave, and then surging forward towards Li Zhirui with its mana.

But its underestimation soon cost it dearly!

Those seemingly fragile wooden swords easily shattered that defensive layer, and if not for the Water Devil’s quick reflexes in adding another layer of defense, it would have been defeated in a single round, possibly even threatening its life.

This blow made it no longer dare to underestimate him, starting to take this battle seriously.

However, Li Zhirui did not want to waste time, each strike was lethal, giving his opponent no chance to breathe.

And this was with him concealing his true strength, only using late-stage Independent Immortal power to fight, otherwise, that Water Devil would have died on the spot!

Even so, it wouldn’t be able to struggle for much longer.

A few other Individual Immortal Realm Water Devils saw the bad situation and immediately joined the fight to help, finally giving the initial Water Devil a brief moment to breathe.

”Hmph!”

Seeing so many Water Devils join the battle, Li Zhirui sneered disdainfully, his mana swirling inside him, the boundless seawater rising in waves, in the blink of an eye forming a devouring force as if the earth and sky were roaring, rushing towards the group of Water Devils with a stance of swallowing them all.

”Damn it!”

A chill of fear ran through the Water Devils, facing this divine power, they didn’t dare to face it head-on, retreating rapidly into the distance.

As for those Mortal Realm Water Devils nearby? Their survival depended on their luck.

But their luck didn’t seem too good, otherwise, they wouldn’t have come to trouble the Li family and encountered the hidden strength of Li Zhirui.

Moreover, they had met a group of cowardly leading Water Devils, if they had united, they could have withstood that great wave, considering Li Zhirui hadn’t used the power of the Realm of Human Immortality.

Ahhh—

For a time, the sea surface was filled with wails and screams, countless Water Devils didn’t even have time to escape before being swallowed by the enormous waves.

When the waves receded, who knows how many corpses of Water Devils floated on the nearby sea, with hardly any intact remains!

”How can this cultivator’s power be so terrifying? Is he really just an Independent Immortal?!” The voice of that Water Devil trembled as it spoke.

They asked themselves, even if they used all their might, they couldn’t unleash such a terrifying divine power.

Moreover, Li Zhirui’s aura remained full and steady, clearly not his ultimate move.

No Water Devil could answer this question, now they only thought about how to survive, as for the orders from the Sea Clan? They wouldn’t care that much if their lives were at stake!

This was also a flaw of such a large power like the Sea Clan.

Arrogance, overconfidence.

Of course, the Sea Clan had strong power to back it up.

But sometimes, accidents happen, like now!

They encountered a Li family far stronger than the data the Sea Clan collected more than a hundred years ago, even though they dispatched many Individual Immortal Realm Water Devils, it wasn’t enough against the rapidly growing Li family.

Especially since Li Zhirui didn’t want to expose his power, otherwise, he alone could prevent these Water Devils from returning alive.

And the Water Devils fighting Xiaoqing and others were also affected, their hearts wavered in the desire to seize this sea territory.

This was evident in the diminished strength of their attacks.

As for those Mortal Realm Water Devils fighting in the distance, they didn’t even need to be mentioned, many directly collapsed mentally and even chose to turn and flee.

”Hahahaha...”

Xiaoqing couldn’t help but laugh as she saw this, saying, ”You dare to invade my Li family’s territory with such weak skills?”

The Water Devils blushed with embarrassment, but being at a disadvantage in strength was an undeniable fact, leaving them unable to argue.

Now they could only hope to leave alive, then report this matter, making the Sea Clan pay more attention to the Li family, and afterwards, send more of their kin, otherwise, this sea territory wouldn’t be worth considering anymore.

Fortunately, Li Zhirui and the others didn’t press too hard, after all, if truly pushed to the brink, there could be significant casualties on the Li family’s side as well.

But they didn’t let them leave unscathed either, those who ran early could be let go, but those who were a step behind had to leave with some marks.

A battle that came fiercely, initially expecting to be fought to a brutal end, thus came to a temporary and anticlimactic conclusion.

”Jiu, do you think they will come again?” Da Qing asked thoughtfully.

Li Zhirui pondered for a moment, then easily said, ”Of course they won’t give up so easily, but the Sea Clan likely can’t send many more Independent Immortals to deal with us, not to mention we are not easy to deal with.”

We must know, in the entire near-sea area, the Li family only occupies a very small part, most of it is controlled by the Cave Abyss Sect, the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Yumen He Family, and the Xiaxian Sect, and two to three-tenths of the sea area is occupied by various Immortal Dao influences, big and small.

And these forces could tie up eighty percent or even more of the forces the Sea Clan could mobilize!

As they say, it’s good to be under the shade of a big tree, so Li Zhirui wasn’t worried about the Sea Clan’s subsequent reactions, with the current strength of the Li family, they could fully handle it, or even resolve it.
