Chapter 981: Keep moving forward, one year has passed.

Ten days later, the sky was clear and the sea was sparkling, as if countless tiny gold flakes were jumping.

Su Chenyin was wearing a hibiscus-colored gauze dress, and her long hair like a waterfall danced freely in the wind.

At this moment, she was standing at the bow, quietly closing her eyes and feeling the caress of the sea breeze.

At this quiet moment, the calm sea surface suddenly and violently churned without any warning.

The sea water rolled like boiling water, splashing high waves.

In this turbulent sea, black shadows are looming.

At first, there were only a few of these shadows.

But in the blink of an eye, their numbers increased, emerging from the deep sea like black ghosts.

These shadows approached the spirit ship rapidly, at a speed that was jaw-dropping.

"Oh no, a sea monster is attacking!" Su Chenyin suddenly opened his eyes and shouted loudly.

Her voice was like a thunderclap exploding in everyone's ears, instantly breaking the silence on the boat.

Everyone rushed out of the cabin and looked at the sea with nervous expressions.

There were rough waves on the sea, and suddenly, a group of huge sea monsters broke out of the water.

Their bodies were like ferocious sea fish, rough and hard, and their scales were glowing with a dark light, as if they were a curse from the dark abyss.

Its fangs were exposed, emitting a chilling aura, as if it was going to devour everything.

"This is a cursed black-scaled fish." Rong took a breath of cold air, "Their scales have a bone-corroding black curse that will cause them to rot if touched. What's even more terrifying is..."

Before he finished his words, the sea surface exploded and dozens of huge shadows broke out of the water.

Those monsters were at least ten feet long, with backs like rugged reefs. Ink-colored venom constantly seeped out from the gaps between their dark scales, and bursts of purple smoke rose when they fell into the sea.

They opened their huge mouths covered with barbs, and a foul smell accompanied by black spells rushed towards us, which condensed into the shadow of the word "death" in the air.

Lan Xuan suddenly turned into a blue light and rushed out, holding a spear in his hand: "Master, don't worry, these are just some small fish and shrimps!"

A blue light burned around him, and the rune on the tip of the spear collided with the black spell of the cursed black-scaled fish, causing a deafening roar.

Su Chenyin formed seals with her jade hands, and golden runes appeared in front of her: "Lan Xuan, be careful of their group attack!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the three cursed black-scaled fish suddenly accelerated, and their tail fins slapped the water surface, creating a black water wave wall dozens of feet high.

Dense black scales shot out from the waves like hidden weapons, instantly corroding the deck into charred holes wherever they passed.

Lan Xuan laughed loudly, and his spear danced out thousands of spear shadows: "Well done!"

The green flames surged three feet, burning all the black scales to ashes.

He leaped up like a ghost, and the tip of his spear pierced the throat of the black-scaled fish in front.

The monster shook its head in pain and swept its huge tail towards it, but Lan Xuan dodged it by leaning sideways and then stabbed it in the left eye with a gun.

“Ah——” The cursed black-scaled fish let out a deafening scream, and black blood gushed out like a fountain.

What was strange was that after the blood fell to the ground, it turned into hundreds of black-scaled fish that were over a foot long and pounced on everyone with bared fangs and claws.

Everyone took out their magical weapons, and lights of various colors collided with the black fish.

For a moment, the deck was filled with flames and explosions.

A golden blade of light condensed from Su Chenyin's fingertips, and he moved lightly among the school of fish.

Every time the light blade passed by, the small black fish would let out a shrill scream and then disappear in a wisp of green smoke.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a cursed black-scaled fish quietly circling behind the spirit ship, its huge mouth opened wide, as if it was going to bite the entire ship in half.

"Be careful!" Jun Yijue suddenly appeared, and a dazzling white light burst out from his left hand.

He snapped his fingers, and a golden talisman flew through the air and hit the monster's jaw.

The cursed black-scaled fish raised its head in pain, and its huge body slammed heavily back into the sea, creating huge waves that almost capsized the spirit ship.

Lan Xuan seized the opportunity, concentrated all his strength and stabbed the spear into the heart of the first cursed black-scaled fish.

The cursed black-scaled fish fell to the ground with a loud bang, and its huge body stirred up thousands of waves on the sea.

Seeing this, the other cursed black-scaled fish actually made strange whimpering sounds, and then planned to attack Lan Xuan in a group.

Lan Xuan snorted disdainfully and instantly transformed into Xuanwu's true form.

The huge tail swung violently in the air, directly blowing countless cursed black-scaled fish away.

The cursed black-scaled fish slammed heavily onto the sea surface, splashing water dozens of feet high.

When the other cursed black-scaled fish saw this, a hint of fear flashed in their originally ferocious eyes.

But driven by their survival instinct, they were unwilling to give up and tried to launch an attack.

Lan Xuan took a deep breath and released the power of the ancient mythical beast Xuanwu.

This pressure was like an overwhelming force, spreading rapidly in all directions.

The originally turbulent sea surface suddenly became calm under this pressure.

"This... this is the breath of the ancient mythical beast Xuanwu!" The leading black-scaled fish screamed in horror.

After hearing these words, the other cursed black-scaled fishes trembled all over as if they were struck by lightning.

They stared with wide eyes, looking at Lan Xuan in front of them in disbelief, with expressions of despair on their faces, as if the end of the world had come.

They looked at each other, and then knelt on the sea at the same time, surrendering to Lan Xuan.

"Master Xuanwu, please spare my life!"

"We are so blind that we have offended you, my Lord, and all the distinguished guests. Please show mercy and forgive us!"

"Please forgive me, Master Xuanwu!"

The cursed black-scaled fish begged for mercy in unison, their voices filled with fear and pleading.

The cries for mercy echoed on the sea for a long time, as if even the sea was infected by their fear.

Lan Xuan stood on a high place, overlooking the group of cursed black-scaled fish, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

"I'll let you off this time," Lan Xuan's voice was cold and contained a hint of warning, "If you do it again, I won't let you off easily!"

When the cursed black-scaled fish heard these words, they nodded quickly as if they had been pardoned.

“Also, tell those things under the sea that the people on this ship are protected by my ancient mythical beast Xuanwu,” Lan Xuan added, “If they dare to act rashly, don’t blame me for being rude.”

"Yes, sir, we will definitely pass on the message." The cursed black-scaled fish nodded in response.

Fearing that Lan Xuan would change his mind, they turned around quickly and fled the sea as fast as possible.

They disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if they had never appeared.

After dealing with the cursed black-scale fish, everyone cheered.

Su Chenyin looked at Lan Xuan who had turned back into a little boy, his eyes full of relief.

She walked over and gently touched his head, smiling, "Lan Xuan, it's all thanks to you."

Lan Xuan raised his head and a bright smile appeared on his face.

It replied with a smile: "Master, this is what I should do. With me here, these sea monsters can't cause any trouble!"

The spirit ship continued to sail in the endless sea, and time passed quietly without anyone noticing.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
