148: Chapter 148: Encirclement Counterattack 148: Chapter 148: Encirclement Counterattack “Fine, then I shall fulfill your wish.” In the midst of speaking, Poseidon suddenly moved, disappearing instantly.
Ailina’s eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Compared to Poseidon’s strength, she was far too inferior.
As a Main God, none was easy to provoke.
Hence, slaying a god, that absolutely counted as a shocking major event.
Ye Shikai stood by Ailina’s side.
In this kind of battle, Ailina only needed to be responsible for holding back Jialong which was enough.
Everything else was too forced for her.
On the other hand, Ye Shikai also made a move.
His body flickered quickly like a flash of light, clashing fiercely with Poseidon.
The two of them were like shadows colliding with each other.
This was a battle between two Main Gods.
Generally, unless there were deep-seated grudges, Main Gods would not fight to the death.
Firstly, the strength of Main Gods were closely matched; if one side fought desperately, it would mostly end in mutual destruction.
If others were to profit from their duel, that would definitely be unwise.
Secondly, Main Gods were deeply entrenched in their own territories which made them local tyrants.
Here, it was very hard to completely eliminate a Main God’s power.
Currently, both Ye Shikai and Poseidon were out of their own territories which offered a perfect dueling environment.
However, Poseidon had set an ambush here, clearly aiming to trap Ye Shikai subtly.
Jialong saw that Poseidon and Ye Shikai had already reached a white-hot stage in their fight and wanted to join, to gang up against Ye Shikai.
However, he was immediately blocked by Ailina’s long whip.
Ailina, no longer her usual flippant self, now sported a firm expression with her only belief being to protect Ye Shikai.
As the two fought fiercely, it puzzled everyone that Belos, standing aside, was just indifferently watching the intense fight, without a hint of wanting to help.
“Belos, aren’t you going to make a move?” Poseidon, having exchanged hundreds of rounds with Ye Shikai and slightly at a disadvantage, looked coldly at Belos.
The strength of the Netherworld King was well known among them.
Although Poseidon was strong, if the battle continued, he likely wouldn’t be a match for Ye Shikai.
Even a centipede dies but never falls down stiffly; Poseidon might fight Ye Shikai for a long time, but he had no intention to drag the battle out.
He was determined to eliminate Ye Shikai immediately, to remove future troubles.
Ye Shikai snorted coldly.
Although what Poseidon was doing wasn’t wrong in seeking help rather than stubbornly choosing to suffer, as a Main God, asking for help was indeed very embarrassing.
But Poseidon’s opponent was Ye Shikai after all.
Belos stared at Ye Shikai like a venomous snake, ready to strike opportunely.
The intense stare was unsettling, demonstrating the terrifying aspect of Belos as a top-tier assassin, which was true for all assassins.
Striking unexpectedly with the heaviest blow, even those stronger than assassins had to be cautious, never knowing what tricks they might pull.
Ye Shikai divided a bit of his attention, always observing every move of Belos.
A Main God teamed with a master assassin was a frightening combination.
Even if he could dodge Poseidon’s strong attacks, he still had to be wary of the blades from Belos’ shadows…
Finally, Belos made a move.
Ye Shikai noticed it immediately and in a blink, Ye Shikai felt a sense of crisis behind him.
Dodging quickly, a dagger missed its mark.
Ye Shikai, as the Netherworld King, was the fastest among Main Gods; this kind of trick could be easily dodged.
However, Ye Shikai also understood that this was just Belos’s appetizer.
Sure enough, Belos swiftly turned his body, and two throwing knives shot out.
Ye Shikai unleashed his Inner Strength.
If it were just ordinary dagger throws, the daggers would definitely be shattered by the Inner Strength.
But Belos had infused considerable Inner Strength into these two throwing knives.
Ye Shikai increased the speed of his Inner Strength circulation, deepening it instantly to block the flying knives.
Poseidon, seeing this, wouldn’t miss such a rare opportunity.
With a Sea King Fist, he directly aimed it at Ye Shikai.
This move had been used by Jialong against Ye Shikai previously, but compared to the real Poseidon’s Sea King Fist, Jialong was merely scratching the surface.
The power of the Sea King Fist was immense.
Ye Shikai would not be foolish enough to meet it head-on.
Fortunately, having learned from Jialong’s Sea King Fist last time, Ye Shikai already knew its weaknesses.
He immediately neutralized the power of the Sea King Fist.
Poseidon was rather surprised that Ye Shikai easily cracked the Sea King Fist.
Perhaps he didn’t know that it was Jialong who acted rashly, allowing Ye Shikai to figure out how to counter the move.
Poseidon circulated his Inner Strength, concentrating it in both fists.
Double Sea King Fist.
As the Main God, Poseidon had an in-depth understanding of the ultimate skills of the Sea King Palace.
The Inner Strength fluctuations of this Double Sea King Fist were more than double the original, and its power was not just several times greater.
Ye Shikai dodged, and the force of the fists directly hit the house behind him, turning a multi-story building into flat rubble instantly.
Even Ye Shikai was somewhat wary of such terrifying destructive power, and Belos, upon seeing this move, also furrowed his brows, seemingly deep in thought.
The move missed, and Belos immediately followed up with an attack.
Their exchange of moves, one hard and one soft, left Ye Shikai somewhat overwhelmed, unable to find an opportunity to counterattack, only managing to dodge and defend as best as he could.
After dozens of rounds, Ye Shikai leaped onto the top of a house, with Poseidon and Belos flanking him from front and back.
“Hades, today you will surely die.
Give up your resistance,” Poseidon pointed at Ye Shikai and shouted.
Are you so certain that I would have no precautions and let myself be ambushed by you both?” Ye Shikai revealed a sinister smile.
During the recent exchanges, he had held back some of his true strength to create the illusion that he couldn’t overcome his foes.
“What do you mean?” Poseidon’s expression changed slightly, immediately sensing that something was amiss.
“Where are the warriors of Netherworld Palace?” Ye Shikai circulated his Inner Strength and bellowed loudly.
His voice, strengthened by the Inner Strength, sounded exceptionally robust.
As soon as he finished speaking, an astonishing scene unfolded.
Poseidon’s men immediately discovered dozens of people behind them, each looking ferocious and brimming with murderous aura.
Indeed, Ye Shikai had earlier secretly sent a message to Jeddon, and it only took the people from Netherworld Palace a few minutes to arrive.
The division of Netherworld Palace that Ye Shikai established in Huaxia finally came into play, and this counter-encirclement took everyone by surprise.
Three dark figures swiftly invaded the crowd, and upon closer inspection, it was Wild Wolf, Short-nosed Crocodile, and Jeddon.
At that moment, they were like War Gods, slaughtering anyone in their way as they cleared a path to Ye Shikai’s side.
