Chapter 149: Eliminating Demons

Princess Nishang, this noble princess from the mermaid tribe, has shown unparalleled talent and strength since she was young. Her eyes, like the most dazzling gemstones in the deep sea, sparkle with wisdom and courage, just like the bright stars in the night sky.

Her figure is light and graceful, like a fairy dancing in the water, elegant and agile, which makes people intoxicated.

However, today, Princess Nishang is facing an unprecedented challenge. Outside the territory of the mermaids, a huge, hideous monster suddenly appears. This behemoth is huge, with rough and thick skin, emitting bursts of stench, and its eyes are flashing with evil and greedy light.

It ruthlessly trampled on the innocent creatures around it, and seemed determined to completely conquer the entire territory of the mermaids and take it for itself.

Faced with such a terrifying threat, Princess Nishang stood up fearlessly and stood firmly at the forefront of the tribe. Her eyes were firm and sharp, full of a sense of mission and responsibility. She knew clearly that she was shouldering the responsibility of protecting the tribe and defending her homeland. No matter how difficult and dangerous it was, she would never retreat.

As the situation became increasingly tense, Princess Nishang decisively used her best magic. She raised her jade hand lightly, and the surrounding water elements instantly became restless, and then quickly gathered into sharp water arrows, rushing towards the monster like arrows from a string. These water arrows drew colorful arcs in the air, like meteors across the sky, dazzling.

However, surprisingly, the monster was indifferent to this round of attacks. Its skin was as hard as a rock, and it easily defeated the water arrows one by one. Princess Nishang couldn't help but be shocked. She never expected that this monster would be so powerful.

However, she did not shrink back from the fear. On the contrary, her fighting spirit became stronger and stronger, and she vowed to defeat this powerful enemy. She took a deep breath, concentrated her energy, and summoned the endless mana in her body again, preparing to cast a more powerful magic.

This time, Princess Nishang put all her efforts into summoning the power of the gods that had been dormant in the depths of the ocean for a long time. As she chanted, mysterious spells rang out, and the air around her seemed to tremble.

Suddenly, a huge column of water appeared in the sky, like a giant dragon descending from the sky, with unparalleled momentum, heading straight for the hideous and terrifying monster. The water column was like a towering mountain, and also like a surging ocean, with such a huge momentum that it seemed to submerge the entire world.

However, facing such a powerful attack, the monster was not moved at all. It raised its head to the sky, let out a deafening roar, and suddenly burst out with an indescribable powerful aura. This aura swept in like a hurricane, instantly smashing the seemingly invincible water column into pieces.

Princess Nishang's face turned pale as paper. She could clearly feel that her magic power was draining away at an alarming rate. However, she did not give up. Instead, she gritted her teeth, struggled to support her body, and continued to cast more powerful spells.

For a moment, all kinds of brilliant lights flashed in her hands, forming strange and spectacular scenes. These spells were either as powerful as thunder or as gentle as the breeze, each of which contained endless power and mystery. However, despite Princess Nishang's best efforts, the monster remained standing and even emitted a faint contemptuous smile.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not subdue the monster. She felt her heart filled with despair, but she knew she could not give up. She was not only fighting for herself, but also for the future of the entire mermaid race.

At this time, all the warriors of the merman tribe rushed forward. They held weapons in their hands and bravely moved forward, wanting to help Princess Nishang fight the monster together. However, the monster seemed to have endless power, and no matter how they attacked, they could not cause any harm to it.

Just when everyone was feeling desperate, a figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone. It was Lu Xiuyuan, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, not taking action rashly, but carefully observing the monster's weaknesses and attack methods.

He was holding a fine steel sword, the blade flashing with cold light, revealing an indestructible aura. His eyes were firm and sharp, as if he could see through all illusions. He looked deeply at Princess Nishang, as if conveying some kind of message to her, and then rushed towards the hideous and huge monster without hesitation.

Lu Xiuyuan's speed was as fast as lightning, and his figure was like a gust of wind, shuttling between the monsters and the crowd. His movements were light and agile, as elusive as a ghost.

The sword in his hand flashed with a frightening cold light, and every time he swung it, it brought up a sharp wind blade. Those wind blades were like sharp blades, ruthlessly cutting the monster's body, making bursts of harsh friction sounds.

Lu Xiuyuan's attacks were precise and fierce, and each of his swords went straight to the monster's vital parts. His swordsmanship was as natural and smooth as flowing water, without the slightest delay or hesitation. Under his sword, the monster's defense was easily torn apart, and blood splattered everywhere.

However, the monster was no pushover, it had great strength and tenacious vitality. Despite being severely injured, it still pounced on Lu Xiuyuan frantically, trying to tear him apart. Facing the monster's fierce counterattack, Lu Xiuyuan did not retreat a single step.

He responded to the monster's attack calmly and skillfully used his swordsmanship to resolve the crisis. His steps were flexible and varied, sometimes he dodged sideways, sometimes he jumped into the air, making it impossible for the monster to get close.

However, the monster seemed to have no feeling, it still stood there, unscathed. Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel frustrated: Did he fail like this? No! He must not give up!

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and continuously gathered the mana in his body into the sword in his hand. As the mana was injected, the sword began to emit a dazzling light, as if it contained endless power.

Lu Xiuyuan held the sword tightly, with a flash of determination in his eyes. He suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the monster like an arrow. In mid-air, he raised the sword high and used all his strength to chop the monster's head fiercely.

There was a loud bang, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, deafening. The sword collided with the monster's head, instantly bursting out with unparalleled power. At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world was shaking.

Then, a shocking scene happened. The monster's head exploded under Lu Xiuyuan's sword, turning into a gorgeous blood flower. The blood flower splashed like a fountain, dyeing the surrounding sea water red, forming a shocking picture.

The bloody smell filled the air, making people sick. But Lu Xiuyuan was not frightened by this horrific scene. He stared at the monster's corpse and confirmed that it had completely lost its vitality.
