Chapter 821 - 181: Turtle
Incinerating the sky, boiling the sea.
This grand spectacle is far more magnificent than being frozen over for miles.
After all, ice merely freezes, and against a nimble opponent, like Han Zhan’s "Gray Sparrow," such warships could easily escape.
With fire, it’s completely different.
What’s more, achieving this scene isn’t just possible with fire!
Jian Beifang stood resolutely on his warship, eyes closed.
In his right hand, he held a flame of crimson red, identical in color to the flames burning across this sea region.
His left hand was raised high, yet it shone with a beam of green light!
"The wind fans the flames."
"To set this entire sea region ablaze in such a short time, it can’t happen without the help of the wind."
"Now, those warships from the other two kings’ forces outside are in for a real treat."
As an observer, Han Zhan watched this scene with a sigh.
Jian Beifang’s Elemental Talent is indeed unmatched in this oceanic world.
No wonder the Three Kings had to join forces to slay him a century ago.
Within Saint-Teres Port, the flames spared no buildings or ships.
Outside Saint-Teres Port, however, the warships engulfed in the sea of fire were not so lucky.
Roaming tongues of fire burned everything.
The flags on the masts turned to ash, the masts themselves burnt and snapped in two, and the wooden framework of the hull began to crackle under the great fire.
The "Skull Splitter" was likewise not spared.
The crew aboard rushed out of the cabin one by one, the flames relentlessly scorching them, and in unbearable agony, they rolled across the deck.
Most critically, the fire was too intense for them to extinguish in time!
"I can’t take it anymore."
"I can’t take it anymore!"
With cries of anguish, some crew members could no longer bear it, leaping off the ship into the sea.
But the entire sea surface was ablaze, and he still had no escape!
Moreover, the burning consumed a massive amount of oxygen from the air, with thick smoke filling the air, making it hard to breathe for those crew members who were still alive.
The "Skull Splitter" is a heavy-duty warship, fully equipped for combat.
It has numerous heavy cannons, special tools, and even a terrifying ramming angle to destroy enemy ships.
But now, it hasn’t even seen the enemy’s shadow!
"Li Minghong! If you don’t act now, we’re all doomed!" Zhang Yi shouted angrily towards the direction of the "White Shark."
Aboard the "White Shark," Li Minghong, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes; in them, twin storm cyclones of pure white swirled madly.
"A fire attack?"
"Then let me show you what your fire can do against hurricanes and tsunamis!"
"Rise!"
With Li Minghong’s shout,
Suddenly, on the vast sea, dozens of tornadoes formed in an instant.
They carried with them great waves, sweeping mighty toward Saint-Teres Port.
Wherever they passed, the surging sea extinguished the flames on the warships, continuing forward to form overwhelming tsunamis.
The light in Jian Beifang’s hands gradually dimmed.
His Spiritual Value and Hunger Value were no longer sufficient to continue wielding these two talents.
Is this the end?
No, not yet!
A ship, unlike any other in color, was rushing against the incoming internal tidal flow toward the entrance.
That was the "Gray Sparrow"!
"Li Minghong of the ’White Shark’ possesses the ability of a Weather Mage, able to harness the wind and waves at sea."
"Even fire cannot completely resist the assault of wind and waves; this must be why the West King sent him."
"As former adversaries, the West King and the East King likely understand Jian Beifang more deeply than he himself does."
Aboard the "Gray Sparrow," navigating against the surging waves and wind, Han Zhan squinted and spoke calmly.
"However, they’ve misjudged one thing."
"The ability of a Weather Mage is indeed strong, but the ’Gray Sparrow’ conveniently has a Talent that counters it!"
As the "Gray Sparrow" appeared on the outer sea of Saint-Teres Port,
The tsunamis, which previously created gigantic waves, and the terrifying hurricanes that connected the heavens and earth, suddenly seemed to be extinguished all at once as if by some mysterious force!
The "Gray Sparrow’s" first mate, Gongyang Jin’s Talent Ability — Sea Navigation·Innate Overpowering!
During sea navigation, you gain a 90% boost to ship speed, a 90% increase in visibility, and a 90% reduction in sea wind and waves.
Thanks to this Talent Ability, the forty-plus hurricanes that Weather Mage Li Minghong had summoned using his Hunger Value and Spiritual Value shrank down to four or five when the "Gray Sparrow" entered this sea area.
Four or five hurricanes, four or five tsunamis, this scenario gave the feel of exerting all one’s strength for a decisive blow.
Expecting to hold back for something big, in the end, it released nothing but a fart.
On the other side, the "Skull Splitter," tasked with providing support, gained full speed, advancing toward Han Zhan’s "Gray Sparrow."
As long as this ship with its peculiar abilities is neutralized, they can continue to suppress Jian Beifang.
But one can only say, the ideal is lofty.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The "Skull Splitter" hadn’t even entered its firing range yet, and the opposite "Gray Sparrow" had already completed five volleys under the loading of the Unparalleled Cannon Princess.
A total of fifteen Special Shells simultaneously hit the "Skull Splitter’s" hull.
Renowned in the Central Sea Area for its thick defense and high damage reduction of 60%, the "Skull Splitter" was blasted to smithereens.
Instant annihilation!
Witnessing this scene, the sea fell into a dead silence.
Li Minghong’s previously anticipating gaze was utterly transformed into shock and horror.
"This has got to be a joke?!"
Only one person was not stunned.
Having replenished, Jian Beifang lifted his hands again, this time both hands radiating a light blue glow.
Representing the extreme cold of frost, once more, after the flames that incinerated the sky and boiled the sea, the sea surface was frozen!
"Run!" Realizing the situation was irredeemable, Li Minghong reacted swiftly.
He abandoned those ships belonging to the East King behind him, leading his remaining fleet of warships to retreat to the rear sea area.
He raised a hand, as the wild wind howled past his ears, the newly hoisted sails accelerating the ships with the wind’s help, hastily leaving this sea area.
Jian Beifang’s freezing speed could not catch up to these agile and swift warships, it could only freeze the ships that couldn’t escape in time into ice sculptures.
Seeing that about twenty to thirty of the West King’s warships, with the help of Li Minghong’s wind, were about to leave this battlefield.
At this moment, directly below Li Minghong’s "White Shark" fleet, the sea, originally deep and dark, seemed even blacker.
That was a shadow outline too immense to fathom.
The next second, a scene that shocked everyone to their core appeared.
From beneath the sea, a gigantic abyssal maw surged skyward, swallowing thousands of acres of seawater in an instant, along with over twenty warships on the sea surface, including the "White Shark"!
Chen Yuan widened his eyes, gazing there, and exclaimed in astonishment:
"Is that a — Turtle?!"
