The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2276: Chapter 2276: Is That Terrifying Creature About to Emerge?

For three months, Carson Flores had been feeling the essence of the Sword Talisman through imitation, learning how to create it, and understanding the rules it framed.

Carson gained a lot from it.

The lines of this Sword Talisman didn’t appear complex, but the true core was not in these delineations, but in the surging spiritual power within and its operating rules.

Mountains, rivers, seas, the sun, moon, and stars, all have their rules of operation, and this Sword Talisman was no different.

Carson spent a lot of time and finally understood the operational rules of this Sword Talisman, but he felt there was still more to learn from it.

It was like a master’s casual work falling into the hands of a newcomer, offering numerous learning opportunities, and not limited to this piece alone but extending to more through its content.

Carson felt that fully comprehending this Sword Talisman might take a very long time, but the current situation clearly wasn’t suitable for him to quietly meditate any longer.

Not to mention, to comprehend the Sword Talisman, it had to be in a ”working” state, and to make it so, Crimson Mad needed to constantly struggle against it, triggering the Talisman’s suppression, which brought enormous pain to Crimson Mad.

In a normal state, as long as Crimson Mad did not resist, the Sword Talisman wouldn’t operate, so Crimson Mad wouldn’t suffer attacks from the violent Sword Intent. Though pinned here, it would not be too painful. But once resisted, the endless Sword Intent would act like countless sharp swords rampaging inside, a sensation of being pierced by ten thousand swords—far too intense there.

Six months!

To allow Carson Flores to decode this Sword Talisman, Crimson Mad had been incessantly struggling, enduring the Talisman’s suppression for a full six months. Since Carson had now found the key point to breaking the stalemate, he would naturally not let him continue suffering.

”I’ve already found a way to break the Sword Talisman, are you ready?”

Crimson Mad asked excitedly and doubtfully, ”Really, you’re not lying to me?”

Carson smiled and replied, ”Whether I’m lying, won’t you know once we try?”

Crimson Mad urged eagerly, ”Then hurry and try it, why are you asking me?”

Carson explained, ”In the process of breaking the Sword Talisman, it will certainly generate resistance. As the Talisman operates, the pain you endure will naturally increase, possibly even more severe than the past few months; you’ll have to endure it...”

Crimson Mad took a deep breath: ”Even more painful, how am I supposed to endure that?”

Carson helplessly said, ”Perhaps if that one were to be present, they could easily break the Sword Talisman and set you free. But don’t forget, I’m only a Heavenly Immortal, not even a Great Land level, and this Sword Talisman is from a super strong entity, suppressing a very powerful you...”

Crimson Mad was speechless. Although he didn’t want to endure the pain, he had no other choice.

After waiting so many long years, finally, someone destined appeared who could set him free, so what if it hurt more?

The physical pain was nothing compared to the long, lonely years of spiritual agony.

”Bring it on.”

”Alright, hold on!”

Carson floated in the void in front of the Sword Talisman, waved his arm forward, and a sharp Sword Qi shot out, directly aiming at the center of the Sword Talisman.

The Sword Talisman, upon facing the attack, suddenly burst with momentum, and its bright light intensified several times, along with the endless Sword Intent and fierce Sword Qi capable of destroying everything.

However, these Sword Intent and Sword Qi, though like a tsunami wave, did not attack Carson, because he stood in a dead-angle position of the Sword Qi release.

This position was not fixed; it would change with the Sword Talisman’s internal operations. Carson understood these changes, hence he could stand in the right place at the right time.

It was like a safe island in a raging sea. Standing on this island, no matter how big or high the surrounding waves were, they wouldn’t threaten the safety of those on the island.

The fierce Sword Qi rushed into the Sword Talisman and struck a subtle node.

The Sword Talisman trembled sharply, the Sword Qi became increasingly violent, yet Carson remained unruffled, leisurely maneuvering in the Sword Qi River, continuously launching one Sword Qi after another into the Sword Talisman.

Each Sword Qi would hit a key node, and after each attack, the vibration of the entire Sword Talisman would increase a bit.

Meanwhile, Crimson Mad, suppressed by the Giant Sword, let out a tragic howl filled with pain. The terrifying aura spread wildly in all directions, frightening the magical beasts in the waters to flee frantically, some even escaping to the water surface and then flying into the sky.

They were terrified!

Born of Crimson Mad, they were extremely sensitive to his aura. When Crimson Mad was in great agony and went berserk, they felt as if the apocalypse had arrived.

Above the water, there floated several Flying Boats, not very large, which belonged to portable Flying Boats. On these boats were numerous cultivators from Green Bird City, Mount Lingmiao, and the White Magpie Sect, including Orion Watson, Wyrella Holt, and Virelia Jaramillo.

Though Orion Watson and others had infiltrated several times, they were unable to reach the bottom due to the obstacles posed by magical beasts. However, for several months, Crimson Mad had been enduring enormous pain and occasionally caused quite a commotion.

Although far apart, Orion Watson and others, being Great Land Immortals, sensed that there was likely a powerful beast in this ocean, and this beast was probably connected to that Giant Sword.

This beast was still alive!

What exploration could be more important than venturing here?

Not to mention, just that Giant Sword was enough to make one drool.

Over the past six months, many strong ones from the three sects gathered together, trying to explore the waters, but there were simply too many magical beasts, and the underwater Demonic Qi heavily suppressed their powers. The shift was unfavorable, so they couldn’t deal with the beasts and break through their defenses.

While the many strong ones discussed on a Flying Boat, suddenly they felt a terrifying tremor from the depths of the water, a response stronger than any tremor they had felt before!

Before they figured out what had happened, countless magical beasts emerged from the water, flying swiftly into the sky and escaping into the distance as if chased by an Evil Ghost.

This scene shocked them, for among the fleeing beasts were many they had fought against and knew their fearsome battle power, yet now, even as fierce as they were, they fled in panic, not even bothering to attack the numerous Flying Boats hovering in the air.

Their gaze once again fell on the turbulent water surface, a single thought arising in everyone’s mind.

Wasn’t that terrifying thing about to emerge below?
