Wu Shattered Star River

True to their reputation, Niu Tou and Ma Mian were professional assassins, choosing their moment perfectly.

Jiang Han, along with Zuo Yiyi and Xiong Jingjing, had just jumped into the sea. The explosion of the warship above them startled all three, and they stared blankly at the scene unfolding in the air.

Niu Tou and Ma Mian were only a few yards away from Jiang Han, a distance they covered in an instant.

Both of them used their divine abilities, one even employing a water-based one. The seawater around Jiang Han surged, pulling his body into the air, ensnaring him within a dragon formed of water.

The other released a dark-attribute divine ability, and Jiang Han felt a sudden darkness descend, obscuring everything.

A martial artist, only at the eighth level of the Profound Nether Realm, facing the assassination of two Sea Shattering Realm seventh level killers.

His attention was already diverted, and suddenly his body was pulled into the air, his vision turning pitch black. Anyone in that situation would be shocked and at a loss.

Jiang Han was alarmed and somewhat flustered. However, the numerous bloody battles he had experienced over the past year had given him far more practical experience than Zuo Yiyi, Qi Bing, and the others.

He hesitated for only half a breath before disregarding everything else and releasing his Dragon Roar divine ability.

He didn't have many options. Releasing the Suanni beast would have been the best choice, but it would take time for it to emerge.

Moreover, once out, the Suanni beast might not be able to react in time.

He could also use the Heaven-Rank defensive divine talisman that Jiang Lang had given him, but the problem was that it would take time to retrieve and activate the talisman.

Teleportation was an option, but his body was currently entangled by seawater, and whether he could teleport away was questionable.

Therefore, he chose to entrust his life to the Dragon Roar divine ability. He had refined many soul-nourishing pills, and he felt that his spiritual body had strengthened considerably.

Would the Dragon Roar divine ability's power be enhanced? Could it affect these two enemies? He didn't know; he could only gamble.

"Roar—"

Jiang Han's roar shook the heavens and the earth, startling the hundreds of people nearby, who thought a giant beast had emerged from the seabed.

Niu Tou and Ma Mian had already reached Jiang Han's side, one wielding a dagger and the other a longsword, stabbing towards Jiang Han's back and neck respectively.

The sudden change caught Zuo Yiyi and Xiong Jingjing off guard. Qi Bing's body exuded a chilling aura, and Jiang Lang held a divine talisman in his hand, but they were clearly too late to provide assistance.

"Hiss, hiss…"

Jiang Han's roar caused Niu Tou and Ma Mian's bodies to stiffen, their eardrums splitting, and they felt dizzy.

Their attacks paused for a moment, but only for a breath. Their eyes reddened as they roared and continued to thrust their swords and daggers towards Jiang Han.

It was this one breath that saved Jiang Han's life!

Jiang Lang, not far away, was also dizzy, but he had already launched his divine talisman. A stream of light shot out, striking Jiang Han, and a protective barrier materialized around his body.

"Bang!"

Niu Tou and Ma Mian's attacks landed on the barrier, causing it to tremble slightly, but it did not shatter.

They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with annoyance. It was actually a Heaven-Rank defensive divine talisman? This barrier could withstand at least a hundred attacks from the two of them.

"Jiang Han, release the Suanni beast!"

Jiang Lang's loud roar rang out, and another divine talisman appeared in his hand, transforming into a fire beast that swept towards Ma Mian.

"Buzz ~"

Jiang Han's war beast ring lit up, and the Suanni beast appeared out of thin air. As soon as it emerged, it roared and opened its mouth, spewing a mouthful of flames at Niu Tou.

"Whoosh!"

The seawater in front of the Suanni beast surged, and a water wall condensed to block the Suanni beast's path. The Suanni beast's flames struck the water wall, and steam billowed upwards, obscuring the sky.

"Escape—"

The surrounding martial artists didn't care about Jiang Han and the others' battle. Many were treading the waves, some were diving into the seabed, and others were taking out small boats. Hundreds of people scattered and fled.

The battle in the sky hadn't stopped, and sword and saber energies continued to cleave down, tearing massive ravines in the sea surface. The terrifying aura permeated the surroundings, making it difficult to breathe.

"Frost Domain!"

Qi Bing acted, quickly rushing over and releasing her Frost Domain divine ability.

Countless streams of cold air surged from her body, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, causing the sea surface to freeze rapidly.

"This…"

Ma Mian had just shattered the fire beast released by Jiang Lang when he suddenly felt a cold current surge towards him, stiffening his body and greatly reducing his speed.

He glanced at the terrifying battle in the sky and gritted his teeth, saying, "Niu Tou, let's go!"

Assassins usually aim for a fatal blow. If they fail, they will choose to flee immediately and look for other suitable opportunities to attack.

There were two super experts fighting above, and if they were accidentally hit by the sword or saber energy above, they would be torn to pieces instantly.

Most importantly, Jiang Han had a light shield formed by a Heaven-Rank divine talisman, making it impossible to kill him in a short time.

Qi Bing had released a strange divine ability, and Jiang Lang had taken out two more Heaven-Rank divine talismans.

The two didn't dare to continue entangled. They weren't afraid of being killed by Jiang Han and the others, but they were mainly afraid of being hit by the aftershocks of the super experts' attacks above, which would result in a very unjust death.

"Go!"

Niu Tou waved his hand, and seawater condensed into a giant palm, grabbing him and Ma Mian and quickly pulling them into the seabed.

Seawater formed a light shield around their bodies, and they rushed rapidly towards the seabed.

"Let's retreat too!"

Jiang Han didn't pursue. He didn't have water-based divine abilities and didn't dare to go into the seabed.

Jiang Lang's spatial ring lit up, and a small boat appeared, onto which he leaped. Jiang Han put away the Suanni beast and, pulling the Xiong Jingjing, who had been injured by his Dragon Roar divine ability, leaped onto the boat.

Niu Meng drank a few mouthfuls of seawater and was grabbed by Qi Bing, who brought him onto the boat. Zuo Yiyi staggered and climbed up. Jiang Lang activated the boat, quickly sailing away towards the north.

The boat's speed was decent, faster than a ninth-level Profound Nether Realm martial artist running at full speed, but much slower than a warship.

The group looked around warily, their hearts filled with lingering fear, each holding a weapon, ready to deal with any attacks from the seabed.

At the same time, they had to pay attention to the sky above, for if a sword energy flew down, they were afraid they would all be cut into pieces.

Fortunately, the two super experts above fought further and further away, and no sword energy flew towards them.

The two assassins in the seabed didn't chase after them, and they successfully escaped the battlefield.

None of the six spoke, still nervously watching their surroundings.

The warship they had been traveling on had exploded, and the merchants had all fled, so they obviously wouldn't have the opportunity to board a comfortable warship again.

They could only rely on themselves to drift on the sea, heading towards the distant Flying Immortal Island.

Traveling on the sea in a small boat, they could encounter sea beast attacks or attacks from other martial artists at any time.

Not to mention anything else, the attack by those two assassins just now made them feel inexplicable.

Jiang Han turned his gaze to Jiang Lang, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he asked, "People from the Joyful Union Sect?"

"I don't know…"

Jiang Lang's expression was somewhat unsightly. He scanned his surroundings, and said in a deep voice, "No matter what sect they're from, we're in big trouble this time."
