Xie Xiyan slid down the wall, supporting himself on one knee with his greatsword. He looked at the enormous beast in front of him with a disdainful smile, wiped the faint trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, and slowly stood up.

The sea monster before them was enormous, with a head like a fish but a long snake tail covered in thick scales. It had a long horn on its head and blood-red eyes.

Upon seeing this, Ling Xuzi and Yun Qingyi both widened their eyes and hid behind the rocks even more.

Ling Xuzi didn't even dare to peek out, only revealing his eyes, and whispered, "My good disciple, I believe in you."

Xie Xiyan ignored him, picked up his sword and walked towards the sea beast again, his figure elegant and unrestrained.

In an instant, on this only open space, two figures, one large and one small, were locked in a fierce battle. Lights of various spiritual and unfamiliar powers flew everywhere, and the two were locked in a hard-fought fight.

The surrounding rocky areas were not spared either.

Yun Qingyi unleashed another beam of spiritual energy, causing a boulder to fall. Just as she dodged to the side, she was nearly hit by another rock.

Ling Xuzi wasn't in much better shape. Although he was a soul being, physical damage didn't affect him much, but the magical damage that followed the physical damage was making him suffer.

Having dodged another ball of spiritual energy, Ling Xuzi could no longer contain himself and shouted angrily, "Hey kid, don't go too far! If you're going to fight, can't you fight properly?!"

Xie Xiyan was completely unaware and continued to do as he pleased, swinging his greatsword and leaping to slash at the sea beast.

The greatsword struck the sea monster's back, its sturdy scales making a piercing sound. Then came the afterimage of the sword swinging down, landing on every part of the sea monster's body, probing its weak points.

Looking at Xie Xiyan, who was agile and fast as a shadow, Yun Qingyi swallowed and quietly used her stealth technique to approach the dragon egg.

Hiding behind a rock closest to the dragon egg, Yun Qingyi quietly observed the battle. Seeing Xie Xiyan fighting fiercely with the sea beast, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began to circulate her internal energy.

I plan to wait a while, then grab the dragon egg in one go and slip away.

……

Xie Xiyan swung his heavy greatsword, slashing at almost every part of the sea beast, trying to find its weakness.

But instead of finding it, they also angered the sea monster.

Seeing this, he showed no fear whatsoever; instead, his eyes gleamed with excitement, a wild and unrestrained smile playing on his lips. He stood tall, wielding his heavy sword in his left hand and summoning his divine sword in his right, and began to attack the sea beast once more.

The level of madness is absolutely off the charts.

Seeing this scene, Yun Qingyi, who was secretly practicing her cultivation technique, swallowed hard and wavered in her resolve to snatch the dragon egg.

But seeing the dragon egg shimmering with blue light, he became determined again.

This is a dragon egg! A divine beast! He actually wavered just now, what a sin!

Moreover, she had disguised herself, not only changing her face shape and appearance, but also using some tricks to make her height appear different. Besides, this disguise technique was published by her master, so what was there to be afraid of?

Thinking this through, he focused on waiting for the right opportunity.

Xie Xiyan's high ponytail had somehow come loose, with long strands falling to her waist and fluttering with the surrounding energy fluctuations.

His already exceptional appearance was enhanced by a beauty that made him seem almost otherworldly. He seemed tireless, his immense spiritual power slashing at the sea beasts with each strike of his twin swords, his movements ghostly and swift as a phantom.

Finally, amidst the roar of the sea beast, Xie Xiyan thrust his sword into its eye again. His gaze was cold and clear; he had finally discovered the sea beast's weakness.

This weakness is extremely cunning; it's a small, dark black spot in those blood-red eyes that's almost invisible unless you look closely.

Having discovered the weakness, Xie Xiyan did not hesitate and once again plunged his sword into the sea beast's eyes.

Yun Qingyi's eyes lit up. Now!

Taking advantage of Xie Xiyan's focus on the sea beast, Yun Qingyi's figure flashed past, took the dragon egg, and tried to leave.

But for some unknown reason, the moment my hand touched the dragon egg, time seemed to stand still.

Xie Xiyan stared in astonishment at the figure that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, while Yun Qingyi was also slightly embarrassed as their eyes met directly.

But a moment later, time returned to normal, and Yun Qingyi vanished without a trace.

The sea monster, struck in a vital spot, fell to the ground.
