Chapter 1956: Sea Tribe Girl

"You truly have a lot of nerve. As an envoy of the Star Scars Empire, are you unaware that our Eternal Night Empire never deals with any other forces within the Ancient Martial God Dao? Deliberately displaying the symbol of another empire's glory on our territory is the gravest offense and desecration to our Eternal Night Empire warriors. Apologize immediately to the glory of our Eternal Night Empire, or you will bear all consequences yourself."

The leading Flood Dragon Sea Beast chieftain appeared to hold a high position within the squad; otherwise, he wouldn't dare address Xu Yang in such a tone. Xu Yang couldn't help but let out a chuckle at his attitude.

"Honestly, if you were a true dragon, I might actually spare you a glance. But you, a mongrel with impure blood, it would be wise to keep a low profile in my presence. Otherwise, I might inadvertently extinguish your life."

Xu Yang's words were certainly no bluff, as both sides were now on the verge of open conflict. The Flood Dragon chieftain, clearly offended by Xu Yang's arrogant demeanor, immediately issued a command. In an instant, the powerful sea beast warriors surrounding Xu Yang moved to strike.

Various beastly techniques were unleashed. Powerful ocean waves, imbued with unimaginable terrifying force, surged and engulfed Xu Yang.

Xu Yang's insight into water-attribute power had reached its peak. The sheer intensity of the pure power contained within these waves was enough to effortlessly destroy human martial artists below the Great Attainment realm. This level of force alone demonstrated that these sea beast warriors were indeed highly hostile towards outsiders.

Yet, even so, Xu Yang relished rising to a challenge and tackling truly thrilling situations. Since he had already decided to delve deep into the Eternal Night Empire to uncover the truth, no one could impede his progress.

Xu Yang shook his head helplessly, gazing at the surrounding torrents of surging mist. With just a gentle wave of his hand, the powerful Sea God's Domain immediately exerted an unimaginable effect. The massive Sea God totem behind him finally descended at that moment, and as its power was unleashed, all the surrounding water waves instantly vanished into nothingness.

The terrifying impact force embedded within the waves was like striking a sponge, completely nullified and vanishing without a trace.

"What!"

The sea beast warriors were completely dumbfounded; they had never before encountered an external invader possessing such terrifying control over water-attribute power. It was only after this display that the Flood Dragon Sea Beast commander, for the first time, gazed at Xu Yang with an unprecedentedly solemn expression.

"I didn't expect the Star Scars Empire to send such a formidable character this time. There must be some unknown secret. Everyone, heed my command! Even if it costs your lives, you must stop this individual! We absolutely cannot allow a powerhouse of this caliber to infiltrate our Eternal Night Empire."

The Flood Dragon let out a roar, then personally joined the fray. From behind him, a silver-gleaming sea trident thrust directly towards Xu Yang.

To give these creatures a harsh warning, Xu Yang made no further physical movements. Instead, right before all the sea beasts, he firmly gripped the tip of the silver sea trident with just two fingers.

The instant Xu Yang's fingers touched the silver sea trident, an invisible gust of wind suddenly erupted. Within the terrifying vortex created by this wind, an unimaginable power condensed, instantly sending all the surrounding sea beast warriors flying backward.

A colossal, hundred-zhang-tall surge of water, centered on Xu Yang, churned the sea wildly under the influence of his spiritual power.

"How about that? This is a grand gift I'm presenting to you diligent island guardians. My original intention was not to take the lives of you sea beasts, but anyone who wishes to impede my entry into the Eternal Night Empire's territory will find it utterly impossible."

Xu Yang's words were incredibly domineering. There were no overt physical movements from him, yet the surrounding water vapor and waves clearly obeyed his soul, constantly altering their state.

The massive vortex quickly isolated Xu Yang, the Flood Dragon chieftain, and all the surrounding sea beast warriors. The Flood Dragon chieftain, directly experiencing the overwhelming sweep of this mighty force, was so affected by Xu Yang's terrifying power that he began to doubt his very existence.

The Flood Dragon's meridians, from head to toe, were now all stretched to the verge of bursting by the terrifying power. Xu Yang deliberately refrained from striking a killing blow, consistently keeping the force at the absolute limit of what the creature could endure.

For the Flood Dragon chieftain, this dual torment of body and soul was far more agonizing than being instantly annihilated.

"Now, I only want one word from you: surrender to me and retract your previous disrespectful remarks. Then I can spare your life."

The Flood Dragon chieftain conveyed his refusal through his actions. He desperately wanted to utter a word, but under the suppression of this terrifying power, he was unable. He could only express his protest against Xu Yang's overwhelming might with a cold, defiant gaze.

"Do you truly believe the Eternal Night Empire's maritime borders are somewhere you can just come and go as you please?"

Just then, a profoundly potent spiritual energy suddenly appeared. Clearly, this newcomer possessed a more distinguished status and greater power than the Flood Dragon chieftain.

The moment this new opponent appeared, Xu Yang decisively lost interest in the Flood Dragon before him. He simply delivered a kick, sending its massive body flying away.

The Flood Dragon was quickly swallowed by the surrounding furious vortex. The one who had entered Xu Yang's sight, however, turned out to be a young girl of exquisite beauty.

Xu Yang had initially taken her for a human martial artist, but upon closer inspection, he noticed a massive tail fin growing from the girl's back.

This creature had transformed into a half-humanoid form; even Xu Yang couldn't discern what specific sea beast species it was. However, the strength it possessed could already rival a Martial Dao Grandmaster at the Great Attainment Peak Realm.

"Oh? Little girl, what is your identity? Are you, too, a commander guarding these maritime borders, just like the Flood Dragon I just kicked away?"

Xu Yang had just posed his question. Before the exquisitely beautiful girl could even respond, a large group of powerful sea beast martial artists appeared behind her, shielding her.

Xu Yang could tell at a glance that this new group of sea beast powerhouses, clad in black armor, were not merely border guards, but the girl's personal attendants. Almost every single one of them possessed strength no less than the girl's own, and their combined number was nearly a hundred!
