Tycoon War God

The night was vast. A yacht sped swiftly forward across the rolling waves of the ocean.

”Senior, that island is called Death Island. Although it is close to Harbor Island, no one dares to develop it.” On the yacht, Wan Xiong stood behind Lin Mu, his demeanor respectful.

”So close to Harbor Island, yet no one dares to develop it. It seems this island is far from simple,” Lin Mu said with a slight smile.

”Exactly!” Wan Xiong said gravely. ”Because there are Sea Beasts around the island. Their strength is so immense that even I am no match for them.”

”Sea Beasts?” Lin Mu was slightly startled, then nodded. ”It seems this island truly is far from simple.”

At that moment, Wan Xiong pleaded, ”Senior, we can’t go any further! Ahead is the territory of that Sea Beast. Any human who steps inside is doomed!”

BOOM!

As soon as Wan Xiong finished speaking, a towering wave surged up in the distance, hurtling toward the yacht.

”Not good, the Sea Beast has discovered us!” Wan Xiong’s complexion changed drastically. He nearly lost his footing, staring in terror at the distant churning water where something seemed to be lying in wait for them.

”What is there to fear?” Lin Mu asked. ”What Sea Beast? It’s nothing more than a matter of a single sword strike.”

But Wan Xiong insisted, ”Senior, that Sea Beast is truly formidable. Even if you are in the Divine Communion Realm, you might not be able to defeat it.”

”Who said I am in the Divine Communion Realm?” Lin Mu replied with a slight smile, looking at the now-blurry island in the distance. ”Speed up.”

”We can’t!” Wan Xiong shook his head. ”That Sea Beast is extremely terrifying. If we go any further, it will definitely find us. We won’t survive.”

”Forget it,” Lin Mu said, shaking his head. ”Since you are afraid, just wait here for me.”

”Senior, are you going to...”

Before Wan Xiong could finish, he witnessed a shocking sight: Lin Mu leaped up and plunged into the rolling sea.

To be clear, they were so close to the island that the water churned incessantly, with waves rising tens of meters high. Even as a Grandmaster, Wan Xiong would not dare to make such a jump.

In the next instant, Wan Xiong’s mouth gaped open.

He saw a figure amidst the countless splashes, hands clasped behind his back, calmly walking on the waves. The turbulent water became as tame as stepping stones beneath his feet.

”Such incredible skill!” Wan Xiong exclaimed in admiration before shaking his head. ”But against that Sea Beast, even the greatest skills are useless.”

”After all, how can the human race possibly be a match for a Sea Beast in the ocean?”

On the ocean’s surface, Lin Mu walked calmly upon the waves.

The fierce sea wind howled like blades, strong enough to split a person’s skin. Yet Lin Mu remained composed, strolling as if through a leisurely garden.

BOOM! BOOM!

Just then, the sea’s surface churned, and massive waves surged toward him, carrying enough force to shatter city walls.

On the yacht, Wan Xiong’s face turned pale as he debated whether he should flee alone. It’s over! Lin Mu is terrifying, but that’s far better than facing the Sea Beast. Against that creature, there’s absolutely no hope. If I hadn’t run so fast last time, I would’ve lost my life here.

On the ocean’s surface, Lin Mu watched the towering waves approach, then simply tapped his toe.

BOOM! BOOM!

The entire ocean seemed to tremble. Then, to Wan Xiong’s horror, the surging waters instantly calmed.

”How is this possible?” Wan Xiong’s eyes bulged, his face a mask of disbelief.

ROAR!

At that moment, a roar powerful enough to tear eardrums echoed out. The water’s surface exploded as a colossal figure, three stories high, rose from the depths.

”The Sea Beast!” Wan Xiong cried out. Without hesitation, he began to turn the yacht around to flee.

Just then, a formidable and terrifying presence descended. Wan Xiong froze, turning his head back with his mouth agape in shock.

On the vast ocean, a gargantuan creature stood, exuding a tyrannical aura. Its enormous eyes, like lanterns, were fixated on him.

Run! It was the only thought in Wan Xiong’s mind. Lin Mu, Spirit Stones... he had stopped thinking about any of it. Facing that senior, there was at least a glimmer of hope for survival. But being targeted by this Sea Beast meant certain death! Moreover, since the Sea Beast has set its sights on me, it must mean that senior is already dead! My only option is to run! As far away as possible! And never come back!

However, Wan Xiong was horrified to discover he couldn’t move. He looked down, his face filling with panic. At some point, tentacles had wrapped around the yacht, holding it fast. As far as he could see, the water was filled with countless disgusting tentacles.

”Am I, Wan Xiong, going to die here?” A look of despair appeared on his face.

”Wretched beast, you’re courting death!”

Just as despair consumed Wan Xiong, an indifferent voice suddenly resonated. Its power was so immense that it drowned out the roar of the sea.

The next moment, a figure stood atop a thousand-meter-high wave.

It was Lin Mu!

Wan Xiong stared blankly at the sight, the shock in his eyes refusing to fade.

He wasn’t dead! He actually survived!

But bitterness touched the corners of Wan Xiong’s mouth. So what if he isn’t dead? Facing the Sea Beast, he’s still going to die!

ROAR!

Just as he’d thought, the colossal, octopus-like Sea Beast became enraged when it saw an ant-like creature standing taller than itself. With a roar, it raised a tentacle and thrust it at Lin Mu like a sharp arrow, moving so fast it made the air shriek.

”Punishing Immortal Sword Qi!” Atop the wave, Lin Mu simply extended a finger and tapped lightly.

The tentacle broke apart, inch by inch, spraying a rain of blood and seawater from the sky.

ROAR!

The Sea Beast roared in pain, its fury exploding. The next moment, dozens of tentacles rose into the air and lashed out at Lin Mu.

”Too weak!”

From afar, Wan Xiong heard Lin Mu’s voice.

Then, a bright flash of sword light appeared.

In rapid succession, the tentacles were severed, splashing into the sea.

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!

The Sea Beast went into a complete rage. It thrashed its body wildly, stirring up towering waves. Half of its body breached the surface as it tried to utterly destroy Lin Mu.

”Since you wish for death, I shall grant it!” Provoked repeatedly by the Sea Beast, Lin Mu was now enraged as well.

He extended his hand. ”Sword, come!”

Thunder boomed in the heavens, and a bolt of lightning shot down, landing in Lin Mu’s palm. He now held the Dragon Tamer. An earth-shattering Sword Intent erupted from him.

Wielding the Youlong Sword, Lin Mu was like a Sword Immortal descended to the mortal world. He unleashed a strike.

A massive burst of Sword Qi erupted from the Youlong Sword, causing Heaven and Earth to change color for miles around.

”Slash!”

With a single strike, the Sea Beast was instantly split in two.

But that was not all.

A colossal trench, ten thousand meters long, was carved into the ocean’s surface, and the water could not close over it for a long time.

This single strike seemed to have cleaved the entire ocean in half.

He had slain the Sea Beast and cleaved the very ocean with his sword! Wan Xiong could only watch, so shocked he was speechless.
