"Hehe, wouldn’t that be even better? Once they are both exhausted, we can reap the benefits without lifting a finger~" The enchanting Spirit Maiden laughed, her beauty unmatched.
"Hmph, I’m afraid by then we might be left with nothing at all."
The Phoenix remarked coldly.
The Spirit Maiden rolled her eyes at her and replied charmingly, "Oh? But from what I see, that reckless guy is clearly at a disadvantage. Phoenix, can’t you see that much?"
The Phoenix snorted coldly, folded her arms, and remained silent. She watched the two figures engaged in fierce combat, their sizes vastly different, with her delicate brows furrowed.
Just as the Spirit Maiden had said, the blue figure fought for a while but gradually fell into the water. The furious North Nether Divine Fish let out bursts of shrieks, relentlessly pursuing, diving into the depths to unleash a frenzied chase of the figure. In an instant, the water’s surface became turbulent, splashing waves towering like water walls several meters high. The entire icy pool was like a stampede of ten thousand horses, with thunderous roars resonating in their ears.
"Foolish one, daring to harbor ambitions against the North Nether Divine Fish alone, I spit!"
The short man glanced at the enchantress dismissively and spoke with disdain.
Within the icy pool, Su Chen wielded his short blade, channeling Beast’s Qi Energy to flee swiftly. Behind him, a violently parted path of water marked his escape, as the gigantic North Nether Divine Fish pursued with jaws wide open, determined to swallow Su Chen whole, a terrifying momentum that struck fear into the heart!
Although Su Chen aimed for the North Nether Divine Fish, who would have guessed it was hiding within the black void? He thought it would only be slightly stronger than himself, but after just a few exchanges, he was left powerless, forced to escape in embarrassment. The North Nether Divine Fish was not only violently tempered and powerful but also astonishingly fast. Its massive, black-striped tail whipped fiercely, instantly propelling it dozens of meters forward. Its gaping jaws revealed rows of serrated teeth that glinted eerily within the dark, cold water.
Su Chen glanced back, and the North Nether Divine Fish was only a dozen meters away. In just two more seconds, those sharp teeth might sink into his body, tearing out a bloody wound!
Facing death, would it not be better to perish together than to die humiliatingly while being hunted?
He suddenly turned, gripping the short blade fiercely in both hands. His legs twisted like a spiral, propelling him furiously towards the gaping maw of the North Nether Divine Fish!
The Beast’s Qi Energy surged within, eventually enveloping the short blade, forming a flame-like blue light. As Su Chen hurled himself into the abyss, the blue light slashed a bloody path inside the black body of the North Nether Divine Fish!
The North Nether Divine Fish’s body convulsed suddenly, its tail thrashing against its spine in pain. Its blood-red giant eyes showed terrifying streaks of veins. Its mouth gaped to the extreme, releasing an incredibly wrenching scream!
Its body thrashed, surfacing from the depths, then soared into the air from the water’s surface. The commotion sent the pool water shooting skyward, creating vortices and a shower of splashing water akin to a snowfall of goose feathers!
In the darkness, Su Chen felt his short blade pierce a gas bladder, followed by a surge of foul-smelling dark blue liquid spraying out! He tasted a drop, and his mind suddenly sparked with a thought: could this blue liquid be the legendary Profound Water?
With that in mind, he immediately opened his mouth to consume the liquid greedily, fearing that this precious Profound Water might go to waste. Only when the Profound Water ceased to spout from the bladder did he activate the Canghen Crystal, storing the bladder along with the remaining Profound Water inside a goatskin water pouch before sealing it in the crystal. By now, the North Nether Divine Fish, writhing in agony, had become utterly exhausted, lifelessly floating on the water’s surface. Its gallbladder was ruptured, and without Profound Water, how could it possibly survive?
Staring blankly at the massive corpse on the water surface, the four were dumbfounded for a long moment. Everything happened too suddenly; they didn’t even get a chance to tidy up the aftermath—the battle had already concluded.
"Did that guy kill the North Nether Divine Fish?"
The Black Crow stared wide-eyed at the water, asking in disbelief.
"Yes, and it took him barely ten minutes to do it."
The burly man’s face was somber as he spoke. Yet, if one could hear his heartbeat, they would surely notice how rapidly it pounded!
The once collected and composed enchantress Spirit Maiden now wore a slightly pale face, unable to utter a word. A Spirit Beast of at least fourth level was unexpectedly defeated in an instant by someone who appeared to be a mere youth—that was a staggering shock! Moreover, it was a North Nether Divine Fish with Profound Water, whose power was certainly not inferior to an ordinary fifth-level Spirit Beast!
"Hmph, reap the benefits without lifting a finger, Spirit Maiden, can you do that now?"
The Phoenix’s eyes and brows turned icy, each word piercing the Spirit Maiden’s heart like a knife.
She looked at the water with a complicated expression and suddenly exclaimed: "Look over there!"
All four turned their gaze towards the water, seeing a vortex-like blue light bursting forth from the body of the North Nether Divine Fish. A strong radiant glow filled the air in an instant, with columns of water rising skywards due to an inexplicable force, circling the mysterious figure in rapid, dazzling sprays, forming an extremely spectacular scene!
"Damn, that kid isn’t dead yet."
The burly man’s voice turned sinister, his eyes on Su Chen filled with murderous intent.
"To kill the North Nether Divine Fish single-handedly, even with the four of us combined, we likely wouldn’t be his match." For more chapters visıt 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵
The Phoenix spoke lightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on the figure as if undergoing some kind of transformation.
