2567: Manifest

Manifest

As she regained her balance, she stood and examined the dozen or so sea monsters of various sizes that had appeared in the darkness around the boat. A burst of light appeared as the Blue Edge Sword manifested in her hand.2

"How dare insignificant sea demons provoke me!" She let out a snort. The fierce sword intent emerged with a sharp sound as she flipped the sword. As soon as the sword was drawn, the sea demons plunged to the surface of the ocean and began attacking from beneath the boat, as if attempting to knock it over.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang bang bang!"

The smashing sound came from the bottom of the boat with such force that it shook Feng Jiu, who was standing atop the boat. The boat swung violently, almost knocking Feng Jiu from the boat.

She discovered, with the aid of the night pearl's light, that the sea demons that appeared to assault the boat were not so-called fish monsters or anything else, but rather creatures between humans and demons. Several sea demons appeared to have hands and feet, resembling water ghosts in the sea. Several rushed forward and attempted to clamber aboard the boat, while others sat on the boat's side and pushed it deep into the sea.

Sensing the boat's movement and seeing the sea demons attempting to climb aboard, she swiftly turned her palm. With a whizzing sound, a flame shot forth and surged up towards the sea demons perched on the boat.

"Hiss! Aah!"

Screams and shouts erupted. The sea demons slid instinctively into the water beneath the blazing fire and did not dare to rise. The sea was calm for a while, just as those little sea demons vanished.

However, a massive force suddenly struck from the bottom of the sea and knocked the boat over. When the boat capsized, she immediately lifted her head and yelled in a low voice, "Reclaim!" 

The upturned boat shrank and fell into her palm as she sat on the flying feather and watched the sea demon emerge from the sea.

The sea demons emerged from the water, baring their teeth and brandishing their claws, their mouths letting out unpleasant neighing sounds. The sea demon's body was a dark blue colour that was extremely unsightly. She jumped down from the flying feather with a frown, slashing with the Blue Edge Sword.

"Whoosh!"

With a violent roar, the fierce airflow carried by the fierce sword intent slashed over and cut a crescent moon-shaped swath across the sea. It happened so quickly that the sea demons on the surface had no chance to submerge. The sea demons' heads were severed by the sword intent and sank into the depths of the sea.

"Hiss!"

The sound of hissing immediately erupted, piercing and harsh. Just one or two surviving sea demons looked on in amazement and hastily ran to the sea upon seeing that spectacle.

"Hmph!"

Feng Jiu snorted and tossed the small boat into the sea once more. She jumped back into the boat and continued to rest…

As if that blow had been too intimidating, the sea demons did not reappear in the following two days. Feng Jiu, who was adrift on the sea, was both calm and bored.

A few days later, the sun shone brightly at noon. There was a faint light of the sun reflected on the sea after the mist that pervaded the sea evaporated. For no apparent reason, a busy and bustling scene on the vacant sea appeared. 

Her eyes widened as she watched the sight, her heart raced, and she leapt to her feet.

"It's the Peng Lai Immortal Island!"
