Lu Hao used his mental power to test the fathead fish, but it couldn't penetrate it at all. It was definitely a peak-level fish. Only a fellow peak-level fish could block Lu Hao's mental power probe.
Lu Hao's probing was discovered by the fathead fish, which then attacked him.
Lu Hao unleashed a slash, and a four-petaled lotus flower appeared in the void; he held nothing back.
The blade struck the fathead fish with a loud bang. Lu Hao swept his mental energy over it; the previous strike had shattered the fish's shell and damaged its internal parts, but had not fundamentally harmed it. The fathead fish then charged towards Lu Hao at lightning speed.
This fathead fish is quite powerful; it's not just at the peak of its strength, otherwise it would have been seriously injured by Lu Hao's attack.
Faced with the attack from the fathead fish, Lu Hao quickly retaliated with his sword, knocking the fish's tail back with a single strike.
The fathead fish attacked again the next moment. This guy had lived in the Forbidden Sea for too long and was too agile. Lu Hao had no choice but to defend himself. Now, neither of them could do anything to the other. The fathead fish's burst of power was slightly less than his, but its defense was too high. Its defense and combat power were incomparable to other monsters of the same level.
In other words, Lu Hao's God-Slaying Blade was a ninth-grade divine weapon; otherwise, it might have broken first. If it were a divine artifact, it would probably have been able to cleave through the fathead fish's defenses in no time. Lu Hao tried to use his mental power, but the effect of mental power was greatly weakened in the Forbidden Sea, and it had no effect on the fathead fish at all. It couldn't even break through the fathead fish's defenses. This fathead fish didn't use mental power to attack at all; it only covered its body with mental power to form a protective barrier.
And so began a protracted battle between the man and the fish. Both wanted to kill the other, but neither could do it all at once, so they slowly wore each other down.
Five hours later, Lu Hao was somewhat numb. A full five hours had passed, and he had tried every method he could think of, but it was like punching cotton – completely ineffective. After five hours of fierce fighting, the fathead fish had only suffered minor damage to its shell and some minor injuries. Lu Hao wasn't always able to dodge its attacks either, getting hit from time to time. Fortunately, Lu Hao's Nine-Forged Golden Body was still quite strong, and the fathead fish hadn't inflicted any serious injuries on him. Both sides were almost questioning their existence; they had never encountered such a resilient fish (or person) before. This evenly matched situation, with no way to break the deadlock, was incredibly frustrating.
Left with no other option, Lu Hao immediately left the battlefield and headed elsewhere. If he couldn't afford to offend them, he could at least avoid them. Fortune changes every thirty years—
It won't take thirty years. Wait three months, until he reaches his peak. If he encounters this big fish then, it will be a matter of one cut. Getting entangled with this fish now is a waste of time.
The fathead fish didn't chase after it. It was a bit tired after fighting for five hours. It originally thought that since this two-legged creature was so small, it could be eaten as a snack. But it turned out that this little guy was quite powerful.
We've wasted so much time; we might as well have gone and eaten some other big fish.
After breaking away from Fathead Fish, Lu Hao knew his own limitations. Dealing with martial artists who had just entered the pinnacle of martial arts was not a problem, but against someone like Fathead Fish who had been in the pinnacle for a long time, it would be difficult. He could fight to a draw, but if he encountered a strong person in the pinnacle, such as Zhang Tao before, or others, Lu Hao would be completely outmatched and would have no choice but to run away.
Looks like I'm still not strong enough. I can't even beat a fish. How am I supposed to raise a cat? I can't let the cat do the fighting.
Lu Hao continued exploring the Forbidden Sea. After encountering another top-tier demonic beast, Lu Hao did not rush to fight. After all, he was still a bit lacking in the skills of a top-tier demonic beast, let alone a top-tier demonic beast. So, he could just face a ninth-grade demonic beast. He could kill a ninth-grade demonic beast instantly and quickly gain kill points.
Once I reach the pinnacle, it will be the time for these pinnacle monsters to die.
On the other side, at Mount Kuocang, Gong Juanzi said, "This cat is hungry! I want to eat! If you don't give me food soon, I'll starve to death!"
The gray cat said, struggling to move on the ground.
"Didn't you just eat two fake divine monsters a few days ago?"
The illusory figure said helplessly.
"How many days ago was that eaten? One day, two days, three days—ten days, a thousand days, ten thousand days?"
"Ten thousand days have passed, Gong Juanzi. This cat hasn't eaten for ten thousand days. This cat is starving to death. This cat wants to eat."
The gray cat counted on its paws, and then it started crying, as if it had really been abused.
Gong Juanzi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot at this moment.
Damn it, which bastard taught Cangmao to do math? Who told it that three days later is ten days, and ten days later is a thousand or ten thousand days?
It's been less than a month and thirty days since the last time, and that guy Cangmao, when will a true god ever feel hungry?
I just had a craving!
"Sigh, I'll find you another fake divine beast. After you eat, go to sleep and stop causing trouble," Gong Juanzi said helplessly.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and get it done, I'm starving!"
Upon hearing this, Cangmao immediately stopped crying, stood up, and said, "I'm looking forward to what I'll get to eat this time."
"Why----"
Gong Juanzi sighed. This guy—
When he fled back after the North-South war ended, the cat was still snoring, which almost made him furious.
We agreed to get there as soon as possible, but even after everything was over, he still hadn't woken up.
But it's good that way. The cat didn't go and fell asleep, which is why everything has been peaceful. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened.
"Azure Cat, a new major trend is about to unfold. Can you sense the Chosen One?"
Gong Juanzi muttered, "Huh? What, the chosen one of heaven? Gong Juanzi, are you stupid too? Don't tell me you don't want to find food anymore? No, no, hurry up and find some food for this cat."
"The gray cat rolled around and said."
"Stupid Cat"
Gong Juanzi cursed under his breath and looked towards the outer edge of the boundary. There was an old man who was a fake god cultivating outside, trying to break through the destiny of the human race.
What was the significance of the human martial artist that Cangmao brought back earlier?
Gong Juanzi shook his head; he didn't know, and he didn't want to know.
He just wanted to live peacefully here and weather this great upheaval. As for becoming an emperor, he never dared to dream of it. He knew his own situation; the chances of him succeeding in vying for the throne were zero. Moreover, there were too many hidden things in the Three Realms, all sorts of schemes and spies. Becoming an emperor was no easy feat for anyone. He had seen this clearly back during the North-South War, which is why he became what others called a deserter while others were fighting.
Strange, why is the Forbidden Sea so calm today? There aren't even any false gods around.
