Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 902 481: Bijou Sea (Part 2)

In the Bijou Sea, weather shifts as erratically as a child's whims, utterly without pattern.

Still, Xiaoqi appeared utterly deflated—no demon beast aura detected after so long.

He dipped his head a bit, eyeing Chen Xuan who looked asleep, hesitant to wake him.

A deep sigh escaped him!

Then he pressed on with the hunt.

"Little guy."

Chen Xuan smirked silently to himself; demon beasts weren't that simple to spot. The Bijou Sea sprawled immensely, and even abundant beasts wouldn't litter every corner.

Half a day passed!

From drowsy haze, Xiaoqi's eyes flew wide open.

Next instant, whoosh—he darted from the Double-winged Celestial Ship!

Hundred meters off, a sea beast at last surfaced, merely Late-Stage Profound Realm.

"Come out!"

Fingers formed into sword by Xiaoqi, sword qi poured like rain on the lurking demon beast.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Seawater boiled wildly across a kilometer span.

Mighty sword qi drove waters aside, birthing vacuum whirlpools.

Before Xiaoqi loomed a dark fish-like sea beast spanning dozens of meters.

Already marred by deep wounds.

Fist-wide gashes riddled its huge frame, blood spraying in thick jets.

"Roar!"

Badly struck by Xiaoqi yet unyielding, the sea beast unleashed savage fury, tail lashing with dread aura at him.

"Hmph!"

A disdainful snort from Xiaoqi.

Hand reached out unhurriedly; dwarfed utterly by the beast's colossal tail.

Chen Xuan's eyes snapped open then, gaze steady and worry-free on the clash.

Merely a Late-Stage Profound Realm sea beast.

Xiaoqi failing against it? Utter nonsense.

"Boom!"

Thunderous blast rang out as Xiaoqi seized the tail one-handed, midair stance firm against all the beast's roars and thrashing.

Sword qi pierced the sea beast's midst next.

No chance for reaction.

Dozens-meter body cleaved neatly in two.

Blood showered from skies like rain, sea turning blood-red below as severed halves plunged down.

"Dad, how was it?"

Pride shining, Xiaoqi zipped back aboard the Double-winged Celestial Ship for acclaim.

"That sea beast's just Profound Realm strength. Expecting Dad's praise for that?"

"Oh!"

Eyes dimmed in letdown, praise hopes dashed.

"Alright, little guy!"

Chen Xuan rose steadily, hand beckoning the sea beast's fall spot.

"Bang!"

Beast's head erupted from waves, hovering aloft.

"Dad will grill sea beast meat for you!"

"Ah... Great!"

Joy exploded in Xiaoqi; Dad's grilled fare divine, sampled just once or twice amid endless duties.

"Greedy cat!"

Fond gaze from Chen Xuan, fingers dancing in air.

Sword qi diced the sea beast.

Quickly portioned by Chen Xuan, inner essence trimmed to man-sized hunk.

Moments later!

Tempting fragrance filled the ship.

"(╯▽╰) Smells amazing~~ Dad... Can I eat it now?"

Eyes locked hungrily on Chen Xuan, Xiaoqi gulped hard.

"Slap!"

Chen Xuan rapped his noggin, "Not ready! What's the big rush?"

"I'm hungry!"

Pout on Xiaoqi, fixated on meat suspended over fire.

Chen Xuan flipped the sea beast meat steadily.

For uniform cooking.

But suddenly his flip paused, brows furrowed then eased casually: "Fate's brought us together, come share a bite."

Confused glance upward from Xiaoqi.

"Someone else?"

No reply from Chen Xuan; puzzled, Xiaoqi probed surroundings.

Empty!

"No one's here."

Mutters with pout.

"Um... smells delicious."

Sudden booming voice rang into Double-winged Celestial Ship.

"There is someone?!"

Burly middle-aged man barged aboard boldly, ignoring glowing barrier, seating opposite Chen Xuan.

"Young friend's skills impressive, smells delicious!"

Drooling hard, eyes glued to airborne tumbling meat like first-time sight.

"Sizzling sound..."

Meat hissed crisply, oil droplets gleaming along texture.

Oil veered mid-drop from ship, drifting to man's face.

Finger outthrust, oil caught, savored in mouth.

"Mm... very fragrant!"

"Young friend's skill truly remarkable; grilled meat before, but none like this."

"Of course!"

No modesty from Chen Xuan here.

Learned from past-life barbecue master.

Lacking spices only, slightly imperfect.

Sea beast meat crisped outside, Chen Xuan fingered sword qi at tip, scoring half-inch gashes.

Salt sprinkling followed.

Seawater-derived salt next.

Grains melted instantly into meat.

"Why is that?"

Man queried, baffled.

"It helps marinate the meat better."

Chen Xuan eyed him briefly, salted on, "Common knowledge!"

"Uh—"

"Common knowledge?"

Man muttered, shrugged: "I certainly wouldn't know."
