<h4>Chapter 1237: Chapter 1234: Senior, Please Spare Me</h4>


    Under the moonlight, the previously calm sea surface suddenly surged with giant waves, like a thousand galloping horses, emitting a deafening roar.


    Soon after, in the dark sea.


    Thick tentacles emerged from the water, resembling the arms of a demon from the deep sea, each as thick as a millstone, covered in slippery, slimy mucus, emitting a nauseating stench.


    These tentacles iled wildly in the air, like starving beasts, ferociously lunging at the small boat where Xu Wendong was located.


    The small boat swayed precariously among the waves, as if it could be swallowed by the immense force at any moment.


    "I’ll handle this!"


    Ling Yun spoke up, just as she was about to take action, but was stopped by Xu Wendong.


    "I brought you out to rx, leave this matter to me." Xu Wendong said with a smile.


    In an instant.


    Countless blood-red vines roared out from his body, although only as thick as a wrist, under the moonlight, they emitted a metallic sheen.


    Especially the red leaves on them, resembling sharp des.


    Puff puff puff!


    Countless vines immediately entangled the tentacles, restraining them in mid-air.


    "Get over here, you wretch!"


    Xu Wendong roared furiously, his voice thunderous, causing the surrounding sea to explode instantly.


    "Spare me, senior!"


    Apanied by a terrified scream, a gigantic octopus emerged from the sea, its body entirely ck, exuding a stench, and covered in blood-red sores.


    This was a sea demon of the Great Ascension Initial Stage, the overlord of this sea area.


    However.


    Its cultivation level was insignificant in front of Xu Wendong.


    "Ugh!"


    Upon seeing this sea demon, Ling Yun almost vomited bile.


    Even Xu Wendong felt intensely nauseous, swearing never to eat grilled squid again.


    "Tell me, where is the Sea Bamboo?" Xu Wendong asked.


    The reason he drew out the sea demon with his blood was to have it reveal the location of the Sea Bamboo, as it was crucial for cultivating the Doppelganger Technique.


    The sea demon said in a panic, "To the west, a hundred thousand miles away, there is an Emerald Bamboo Ind, and the sea bamboo lives in the seabed around Emerald Bamboo Ind!"


    Xu Wendong said, "Thank you!"


    "The little demon takes its leave," the sea demon said, quickly diving into the sea, feeling a strong sense of post-fear.


    Although it was the overlord of this sea.


    It had a premonition.


    If Xu Wendong wanted to kill it.


    It would surely be killed in an instant.


    "Why are the sea demons always so hideous?" Ling Yun’s face looked very weary, seemingly disgusted.


    "What do you mean by that?"


    Xu Wendong put away the small boat, taking Ling Yun up into the sky, flying directly towards Emerald Bamboo Ind.


    Flying over the endless ocean is an extremely unwise maneuver.


    After all, many powerful sea demons live in the ocean.


    But for Xu Wendong and Ling Yun, they couldpletely navigate the inner sea at will.


    With their cultivation levels, they absolutely feared no sea demons in the inner sea.


    However, entering the Chaotic Star Sea would require some caution.


    Even with both of them having the Mahayana Peak Cultivation, caution would still be warranted in the Chaotic Star Sea.


    After all, that ce is home to beings stronger than those in the Mahayana Realm.


    Ling Yun said, "In recent days, I’ve also seen some sea demons, for some reason, those sea demons all have blood-red sores."


    Xu Wendong frowned slightly. If things were indeed as Ling Yun said, then there was something amiss.


    However.


    As to the cause, he didn’t have the mind to ponder over it at the moment.


    What he needed to do now was find the Sea Bamboo, and then look for Blood Coral and White Jade Pearl; as long as he could find these three rare spiritual medicines, he could cultivate the Doppelganger Technique.


    One hundred thousand miles is a distant journey for mortals, but to Xu Wendong and Ling Yun at the Mahayana Peak, it’s not considered far.


    Before sunrise, they reached the Emerald Bamboo Ind the sea demon had mentioned.


    From afar, they saw an ind of vibrant green.


    Lush bamboo grew on it.


    The vibrant green ind sharply contrasted with the blue sea, offering a pleasing sight to the eyes.


    The area of Emerald Bamboo Ind was notrge, inhabited by many seabirds.


    When Xu Wendong and Ling Yunnded on the ind, the seabirds all took to the skies, disappearing in no time.


    "Wait here for me, I’m diving into the sea to find Sea Bamboo!" Xu Wendong said to Ling Yun, and then dived into the sea.


    The sea was very clear, and there were many fish, shrimp, crabs, and shellfish living among the reefs by the shore, appearing colorful.


    Xu Wendong ignored those seafood, instead releasing his Soul Force, ultimately detecting traces of Sea Bamboo at the seabed.


    Sea Bamboo appeared just like ordinary bamboo, only living in the sea. Although it never saw sunlight throughout the year, it was exceptionally lush.


    After spending more than half an hour, Xu Wendong found the desirable Sea Bamboo, and just as he was about to collect it.


    Suddenly.


    A two-meter-long sea snake darted out from the sea bamboo grove, entirely green, seeming to blend with the color of the bamboo.


    It had a pair of scarlet eyes and was also covered with blood-red sores, exuding a stench.


    This sea snake possessed a Mahayana Peak Cultivation, with surprisingly terrible strength.


    Moreover.


    Its speed was particrly fast.


    Describing it as swift as lightning was no exaggeration.


    "Scram!"


    Seeing the sea snake attacking, Xu Wendong punched.


    However, this was underwater.


    He couldn’t unleash his full strength—his punch stirred the sea into a boil, but the sea snake effortlessly dodged.


    Soon after, it appeared behind Xu Wendong, opening its powerful jaws, revealing sharp fangs, and viciously bit into his shoulder.


    The sea snake initially thought it could kill Xu Wendong.


    But it was shocked to find.


    Upon biting.


    It was like biting into a piece of hard ck Iron.


    This gave it a sense of foreboding, knowing it had encountered a formidable opponent today.


    Without further thought.


    The sea snake instinctively loosened its hold, preparing to escape.


    But just then, Xu Wendong’s roar sounded: "Damn it, you think a beast like you can hurt me?"


    Before his words ended, he decisively reached out his right hand, grabbed the sea snake’s head, and then rose into the air, appearing above Emerald Bamboo Ind.


    "Spare me, senior!" the sea snake screamed in terror, utterly despairing; it never expected this human’s physical body to be so frightening.


    Xu Wendong casually flung the sea snake aside, then checked the spot where it had bitten him. Thankfully, there was only a shallow bite mark, the skin wasn’t broken.


    Xu Wendong looked at the trembling sea snake, snorting coldly: "I can spare your life, but you need to answer a question for me."


    The sea snake hurriedly said, "Please, senior, just ask."


    Xu Wendong slightly narrowed his eyes: "Why do you have blood-red sores all over you?"
