Ling Tian knew very well that the red energy was actually Ahri's demonic power!
Ahri released her demonic power, an energy sufficient to support her weight, allowing her to tread on water as if on land.
After more than ten seconds, the closest merman was only tens of meters away from Ahri!
Seeing Ahri, the merman revealed a ferocious face, its teeth looking particularly terrifying. It then brandished the steel fork in its hand and directly thrust it at Ahri.
The merman watched in disbelief as the steel fork in its hand pierced Ahri, yet it felt as though its weapon had struck empty air!
In the instant the merman was stunned, Ahri had already appeared behind it. With a raise of her hand, the Emei刺 she held directly pierced the merman's nape.
The Emei刺 was incredibly sharp, and combined with Ahri's monstrous strength, this strike directly pierced the merman's spine!
Ling Tian had told Ahri that these merfolk evolved from fish and their physical structures were different from humans, so it was necessary to research their weaknesses.
If they attacked something that wasn't a merman's weak point and couldn't kill the opponent instantly, it could lead to a dangerous situation. Ling Tian was no greenhorn; he understood this principle deeply.
Therefore, Ling Tian also reminded Ahri. Ahri naturally respected Ling Tian's opinion, so when she attacked, she directly used the Emei刺 to pierce the merman's spine.
Any animal, unless it's an invertebrate, would be in dire straits if its spine were severed!
This merman was no different. The sharp Emei刺 directly broke its spine, severely damaging its central nervous system. After struggling for a moment, it perished.
Just then, two other merfolk from the side rushed over. The steel forks in their hands thrust at Ahri from two different directions.
Ahri could tell that these patrolling merfolk were unusual. They seemed to have practiced combined attack techniques, their coordination so seamless that it achieved an effect of 1+1>2 in combat.
However, this time, Ahri did not dodge. She extended her hands, using the Emei刺 in each hand to block the approaching steel forks near their tips. Ahri then exerted force, causing the positions of the two steel forks to shift.
At this moment, the two merfolk and the sharks beneath them were charging forward with all their might. They hadn't expected their steel forks to have their directions altered by Ahri's technique of using minimal force to deflect immense power.
"Thwack! Thwack!"
The steel forks in the hands of the two merfolk pierced each other's chests, emerging from their backs.
The two merfolk looked at each other with expressions of disbelief. Soon, they perished, their dead fish-like eyes glaring, truly befitting the description now, with a very unsightly expression.
At this moment, the remaining two merfolk, driving their sharks, continued to charge at Ahri. Seeing this, Ling Tian quickly sent a message to Ahri.
"Ahri, if it's possible to capture these two alive, that would be best. If not, I need them intact. I want to dissect them and find out where their vital points and weaknesses are!"
"You want them alive? Easy!"
As she spoke, the two merfolk charged over. Ahri dodged the steel fork thrust by one of the merfolk, and in her hand, a crackling talisman had already appeared.
Ahri raised her hand and slapped the talisman onto the back of the merman's head.
"Sizzle!"
A large amount of electrical current was released from the talisman, causing the merman and the shark beneath it to convulse all over, almost smoking.
Ahri's figure flickered, and she appeared behind the other merman, repeating the process.
This merman was also rendered immobile by the lightning talisman in Ahri's hand!
After more than ten seconds, when all the electrical energy from the two lightning talismans had been released, two dead merfolk and several sharks lay on the sea surface!
Ling Tian then drove his small boat forward. He brought the complete bodies of the two merfolk to the side of the boat, then took out an ice talisman. The talisman immediately emitted a large amount of cold air, freezing the bodies of the two merfolk and the surrounding seawater. Soon, a massive ice coffin formed in the sea.
Ling Tian took a rope from his spiritual realm space, tied it around the giant ice coffin, and attached the other end to their inflatable boat.
As for the other corpses, Ling Tian didn't waste them. He directly collected the bodies into his spiritual realm space and then instructed his butler to dissect them.
After finishing everything, Ling Tian took out two wind-controlling talismans and attached them to the back of the inflatable boat. A strong wind howled, pushing the inflatable boat, dragging the giant ice coffin, towards the Ice Queen.
Although the Ice Queen was no longer anchored at its previous position, for safety, they had already agreed that the Ice Queen must maintain mobility to avoid becoming a target or being surrounded.
However, this did not pose a problem for Ling Tian, as the Sea Eagles circling in the sky had already informed Ling Tian of the Ice Queen's location.
The Ice Queen was currently sailing slowly on the sea at a speed of less than 10 kilometers per hour. The ship's main engine was not activated; instead, it was powered by an auxiliary electric engine.
The advantage of electric power was its low noise, making it less likely to expose their identity. Otherwise, if the ship's diesel engine were running, its noise could be heard from kilometers away.
At this moment, the entire exterior of the ship maintained light silence, with not a single light visible. It looked like a ghost ship drifting on the sea.
Although it was already late at night, many people on the ship were observing the sea conditions with binoculars and night vision devices, including several individuals with enhanced vision abilities.
Suddenly, someone spotted a small boat approaching and immediately reported it to Aurora and Captain Sven. The ship immediately entered a state of Level 1 alert.
However, it wasn't long before they discovered that it was Ling Tian and Ahri returning.
The inflatable boat approached the Ice Queen. The ship's small crane lifted the inflatable boat and the ice coffin onto the deck.
Aurora and the others hurried to the deck and met Ling Tian.
"Ling Tian, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Nothing much, we were attacked by a merman patrol!"
"Are you alright, Ling Tian? Are you injured?" Aurora asked with concern.
"Injured? How is that possible, with these things?
I didn't even have to make a move; Ahri handled them.
The fact that these merfolk could detect us from such a distance suggests they have some means of long-range sea monitoring, which is something we need to be wary of!"
