The battle between Ren Xiaoyao and Ao Lie has entered a fierce stage. Both sides have tried their best, and the surrounding sea area has been turned upside down.

The sea water that was originally deep and quiet, like a blue scroll, was now like a pot of boiling water, surging crazily.

Huge waves rose and fell one after another, hitting each other and making deafening sounds, as if the sea was roaring in pain for this fierce battle.

Over the sea, there were dark clouds, thunder and lightning, and streaks of lightning pierced the dark sky, illuminating the entire underwater world in flickering light, adding a bit of tension and terror to the atmosphere.

Although Ao Lie was scarred and covered with wounds of varying depths, Black Blood continued to seep out of the wounds and dyed the surrounding seawater red, but as a strong man Martial God Realm, his fighting spirit was not broken.

His huge dragon body was constantly hovering in the air, and its black scales shone with a cold and strange light in the dim light of the seabed, like countless sharp cold blades.

The blood-red eyes were still burning with blazing angry flames, and the flames seemed to burn the entire underwater world.

He opened his big mouth and let out an earth-shaking roar. His voice was full of unwillingness and deep hatred for Ren Xiaoyao. This roar echoed in every corner of the seabed, causing the surrounding seawater to tremble violently.

Immediately afterwards, he waved his claws violently, and the surrounding seawater was instantly controlled by a powerful force, forming a huge water blade. The water blade flashed with cold light and flew towards Ren Xiaoyao with a fierce momentum.

Ren Xiaoyao Although there is not much spiritual power left, and his body is exhausted from the previous battle and has multiple injuries, his eyes are still as firm as iron.

He knew very well that at this critical moment of life and death, if he relaxed, he would be doomed and become an innocent soul on the bottom of the sea.

He quickly used the remaining spiritual power in his body to display a golden shield. The shield shone faintly but firmly on the dark seabed, as if it were the last star of hope in the night sky, trying to resist the terrifying attack of Ao Lie.

The water blade collided fiercely with the shield, making a dull sound. The powerful energy fluctuations were like turbulent undercurrents, causing the surrounding seawater to boil instantly. A large number of bubbles emerged from the seawater, making a "gurgling" sound.

Ren Xiaoyao gritted his teeth, feeling the tremendous pressure coming from the shield, which seemed to crush his body.

He knows that such a passive defense is not a long-term solution. He must find opportunities to give Ao Lie a fatal blow in order to reverse this unfavorable situation.

At this moment, there was a gap in Ao Lie's attack. Ren Xiaoyao's sharp eyes like an eagle instantly caught this opportunity. He flashed and appeared behind Ao Lie like a ghost. He was so fast that he even left a faint afterimage in the water.

A sharp Sword Qi was condensed in his hand. The Sword Qi flashed with a cold light, and with Ren Xiaoyao's determination to win, it stabbed towards Ao Lie's huge dragon body.

Ao Lie sensed the danger behind him, and his huge body quickly twisted to avoid it, causing the sea water to become even more chaotic due to his movements.

However, Ren Xiaoyao's attack speed was too fast. Sword Qi still left a deep scar on Ao Lie's dragon body. Black Blood slowly flowed out of the wound like ink and spread in the seawater, dyeing the surrounding seawater black.

Ao Lie roared in pain, his voice full of anger and unwillingness, and his body trembled violently, as if a mountain was about to collapse.

Ren Xiaoyao seized the opportunity and launched another attack. A series of Sword Qi shot towards Ao Lie like meteors. Sword Qi whizzed past in the air, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

Ao Lie resisted desperately, waving his huge dragon claws, and the surrounding seawater formed water walls under his control, trying to block Ren Xiaoyao's Sword Qi.

But Ren Xiaoyao's attacks were as continuous as a violent storm, making it difficult to resist.

Finally, under the fierce attack of Ren Xiaoyao, Ao Lie could no longer hold up. The huge dragon body fell heavily to the bottom of the sea, stirring up huge splashes of water and sand. The surrounding seaweed and corals were shattered by the powerful impact.

Ao Lie was lying on the bottom of the sea, his breath was weak, his chest was heaving violently, his eyes were full of unwillingness and despair, and his once arrogant majesty was now gone No Existence.

Ren Xiaoyao looked at Ao Lie lying on the bottom of the sea, and he did not feel the slightest relief in his heart.

He knew that although the battle was temporarily over, the crisis had not really been resolved.

His body was also exhausted, with multiple injuries, and blood kept flowing from the wounds, dyeing his clothes red.

At this moment, a strong vibration suddenly came from the seal on the seabed, as if a powerful and Mysterious Power was awakening.

A ray of Dazzling Light bloomed from the seal, and the light was so intense that the entire seabed was illuminated, making it almost impossible to look directly.

Ren Xiaoyao looked at the seal with vigilance, his eyes full of caution.

I saw a figure gradually emerging from the light. It was a man wearing a dark blue robe. The robe was embroidered with complex and exquisite sea patterns. Against the light, it looked like a flowing undercurrent of the deep sea.

His face was cold and majestic, and his skin had a cold sheen, like jade that had been soaked in the cold water of the deep sea for many years. His long silver hair fluttered freely in the water, like a smart sea snake, and every strand of hair seemed to contain Mysterious Power.

His eyes were like the deep abyss of the ocean, glowing with an icy cold light, making people look intimidating, as if just looking at each other would lead to them being sucked into the endless Dark Abyss.

The whole body exudes a suffocating, powerful and mysterious aura. The aura is like a whirlpool in the depths of the sea, deep and extremely oppressive. Under the influence of this aura, the surrounding sea water unconsciously recedes to all sides, forming an invisible vacuum zone.

"A mere ant is running wild in my territory. Is it a sin?" Sea Marquis's voice was low and cold, as if coming from Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice at the deepest part of the sea, carrying an unquestionable pressure from a superior. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Ren Xiaoyao's heart hard, and the surrounding seawater trembled violently because of the sound.

He raised his chin slightly, and his eyes showed a kind of arrogance that looked down on everything, as if Ren Xiaoyao was just an insignificant little insect that could be easily crushed to death.

Ren Xiaoyao was shocked. He could clearly feel that the strength of the person in front of him was unfathomable. He seemed to be on the same level as Heavenly Venerate and was far beyond what he could compete with.

But he quickly calmed down, straightened his body, looked at Sea Marquis with firm eyes, cupped his hands and said, "Senior and junior all have reasons for their actions. This Ao Lie attacked me for no reason. If I don't resist, I will die. I hope senior can see clearly that I did not intend to cause trouble in senior's territory."

Ren Xiaoyao's voice is calm and powerful. Although he is nervous inside, he does not show any timidity on the surface and is neither humble nor arrogant.

Sea Marquis snorted coldly and glanced at Ren Xiaoyao with his eyes like cold sharp arrows. The eyes seemed to penetrate Ren Xiaoyao's body and reach deep into his heart, making Ren Xiaoyao feel a bone-chilling chill.

Sea Marquis sneered, "Ao Lie is a noble Dragon Palace. Even if he wants to take your life, it's not your turn for a humble human being to cause trouble in my territory. You acted wantonly on the bottom of the sea today and turned this water upside down. What crime should you deserve?"

When Sea Marquis spoke, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, as if he was laughing at Ren Xiaoyao's overestimation of his abilities.

Ren Xiaoyao secretly calculated in his heart that he must never let Sea Marquis know his true purpose of coveting the mineral resources, so he calmly said, "Senior, junior and Ao Lie used to know each other. There has been no enmity in recent days. We just met by chance in this sea area, but he suddenly took action against me. The situation was critical at that time, and I had no choice but to fight with him in order to protect myself. I had no intention of destroying this water area. I hope that the seniors are also keeping an eye on the juniors to save their lives."

Ren Xiaoyao was unhurried and his words were well-founded, showing his helplessness without losing his dignity.

Sea Marquis's eyes flashed with even stronger disdain. He waved his hand gently, as if he was driving away a disgusting mosquito, and said, "Huh, don't use clever words. I have been guarding this sea area for many years. What the hell?" People have never seen it. You, a little human being Martial Artist, can fight so fiercely with Ao Lie, you must have evil intentions. You must get out of here immediately today, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Sea Marquis's voice was full of threats, and the aura around him became stronger and stronger. Under his pressure, the seawater formed huge and terrifying whirlpools, as if the sea was roaring for his anger.

He folded his arms in front of his chest, leaned back slightly, and looked aloof, as if the entire underwater world was his private domain, and the existence of Ren Xiaoyao was an affront to his majesty.

Ren Xiaoyao felt a little unwilling. He knew that the seabed veins contained rich resources, which would greatly help him improve his strength. It was what he dreamed of. But he also understood that he could not resist Sea Marquis at this time, otherwise he would only be dead.

He took a deep breath and said, "Senior, junior is just a Martial Artist who is struggling to move forward on Cultivation Path. He only wants to improve his own strength. This time with Ao Lie fights for self-protection. I have no ill intentions towards this water area, and I hope that my senior can give me a chance to practice here for a period of time. If necessary in the future, I will definitely do my best for my senior."

Sea Marquis sneered, folded his hands in front of his chest, leaned back slightly, his eyes were full of ridicule, and said, "It's just you? Are you worthy of serving me? I think you covet something on the bottom of the sea. I don't care what your purpose is, you must leave today. Otherwise, don't blame me for crushing you to ashes!"

Sea Marquis's voice was full of unquestionable determination, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, like a sharp blade, making people shudder.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Ren Xiaoyao up and down, as if he was examining a worthless piece of garbage.

Ren Xiaoyao knew in his heart that his true purpose might have been guessed by Sea Marquis, but he continued to defend, "Senior, this junior doesn't know anything about the bottom of the sea, so how can he covet something? I just want to find a quiet place to practice and improve my strength. I hope senior can trust me."

Sea Marquis waved his hands impatiently, with extreme boredom in his eyes, and said, "Stop talking nonsense! I have made up my mind. If you don't leave, I will take action!"

Sea Marquis's whole body suddenly burst out with a powerful momentum, which was like a raging tsunami, rushing toward Ren Xiaoyao. Ren Xiaoyao felt as if he was in the center of the storm, oppressed by the powerful force and could hardly breathe. Around his body, the sea water surged crazily, forming a huge waterspout, trapping Ren Xiaoyao in it.

Ren Xiaoyao Seeing Sea Marquis being so aggressive, he knew in his heart that it would be futile to continue arguing.

He gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his body and the unwillingness in his heart, and said, "Senior, I admit defeat today."

After saying that, he turned around and swam hard towards the sea. Every movement seemed so heavy, as if he was carrying huge pressure.

However, as soon as Ren Xiaoyao turned around, a fierce look flashed in Sea Marquis's eyes.

He snorted coldly, waved his right hand, and a dark blue water wall instantly rose in front of Ren Xiaoyao, blocking his way.

On the water wall, mysterious runes flickered, exuding a heart-stopping power, as if announcing that Ren Xiaoyao's journey forward would be extremely difficult.

"Haha, I really want to leave, that's ridiculous!"

Sea Marquis's voice was cold and full of oppression, echoing on the bottom of the sea.

His expression was playful.

Full of fun.

Almost at the same time, Ao Lie, who was lying dying on the seabed, suddenly had a glimmer of schadenfreude in his originally gloomy eyes.

He held on to his broken body and let out a low roar. The voice was full of hatred for Ren Xiaoyao and the pleasure of adding insult to injury.

Around his body, the seawater began to surge, gradually condensing a powerful force of water.

Ao Lie waved his claws vigorously, and a huge wave of water rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao. Although the speed was not as fast as before, the momentum of risking one's life was terrifying.

As he launched the attack, he let out bursts of strange laughter, as if he was laughing at Ren Xiaoyao's predicament and his inability to escape today.

Ren Xiaoyao felt Ao Lie approaching behind him and blocked by the water wall in front, and his heart tightened.

But he did not panic, and turned around quickly, condensing spiritual power in his hand and turning it into a dagger that shone with light.

He knew that he had no choice but to fight.

Ao Lie's water wave came with majestic momentum, Ren Xiaoyao quickly dodged sideways, and at the same time displayed a wind blade, trying to disrupt the attack trajectory of the water wave.

The wind blade roared and cut into the water waves, but it only slightly shifted the direction of the water waves and could not completely stop it.

The water waves brushed against Ren Xiaoyao's body, causing a sharp pain and leaving a purple mark on his body.

When Sea Marquis saw this, a contemptuous sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He formed a seal with his hands and muttered something in his mouth, and the water wall instantly turned into countless sharp water thorns, flying towards Ren Xiaoyao. Ren Xiaoyao's eyes flashed, and his body was like electricity, flying through the water thorns.

His body twisted flexibly and skillfully avoided most of the water thorns, but there were still a few water thorns that rubbed his body, leaving traces of blood, and the blood instantly spread out in the sea water.

Ren Xiaoyao knew very well that he couldn't be passively beaten like this, so he saw the right opportunity and rushed towards Ao Lie.

When Ao Lie saw Ren Xiaoyao taking the initiative to attack, a trace of madness flashed in his eyes, and he waved his dragon claws, and the surrounding seawater condensed into water whips again, whipping towards Ren Xiaoyao.

Ren Xiaoyao skillfully avoided the attacks of several water whips and swung his dagger, leaving a deep scar on Ao Lie's dragon claw.

Ao Lie roared in pain and controlled the water whip to dance even more crazily. A powerful stream of water rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao, driving him back repeatedly.

The moment Ren Xiaoyao retreated, Sea Marquis struck again. When he put his hands together, the surrounding seawater solidified instantly, forming a huge ice prison, trapping Ren Xiaoyao in it.

The ice prison exuded a biting chill, and Ren Xiaoyao felt that his body was gradually freezing and his movements became sluggish.

But Ren Xiaoyao did not give up. He mobilized the remaining spiritual power in his body and circulated it in an attempt to melt the ice prison.

Around his body, golden light gradually lit up, competing with the coldness of the ice prison.

At the same time, Ao Lie launched another attack. He took a big gulp, and the surrounding seawater quickly gathered into a huge water ball, and then slammed towards Ren Xiaoyao in the ice prison.

At the critical moment, Ren Xiaoyao shouted loudly, and the golden light suddenly burst out, shattering the ice prison.

He took advantage of the moment when Ao Lie's water ball hit him, dodged, walked around behind Ao Lie, and stabbed Ao Lie's back with his dagger.

Ao Lie let out a scream, shook his body a few times, and almost fell down again.

Sea Marquis was furious when he saw Ao Lie was injured.

He raised his hands high, and the seawater on the entire bottom of the sea began to surge wildly, forming a huge whirlpool.

Ren Xiaoyao was struggling in the whirlpool. His body was pulled by the strong suction force, and he was in danger of being swallowed by the whirlpool at any time.

Ren Xiaoyao gritted his teeth, concentrated his mind, and performed his unique skill - "Void Flash". His body disappeared instantly and appeared on the edge of the whirlpool.

He knew that he was unable to fight anymore and must escape as soon as possible.

So, he used his spiritual power again, turned into a stream of light, and rushed towards the sea at high speed.

Ao Lie looked at Ren Xiaoyao who was about to escape, and felt unwilling to do so.

He endured the pain and spoke to Sea Marquis in a weak but urgent voice, "Master Sea Marquis, this son is extremely cunning. If you let him go today, he will become a big trouble tomorrow. Not only did he hurt me so much, but he also dared to run wild in your territory. If you don't kill him, it will be difficult to show your majesty, and it will be even harder to convince Dragon Palace and the creatures in this sea area!"

As Ao Lie spoke, he glanced at Sea Marquis's face, his eyes full of eagerness for Sea Marquis to take action.

Sea Marquis frowned slightly after listening to Ao Lie's words, with a trace of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

He naturally knows the potential of Ren Xiaoyao, and letting him leave may indeed cause some trouble.

But he was a little disdainful of completely following Ao Lie's advice. After all, in his heart, Ao Lie was also a loser.

However, when he thought of Ren Xiaoyao's attitude of daring to resist him, the murderous intention in Sea Marquis's heart gradually rose.

"Humph, I guess you still have some knowledge. If this kid is not eliminated today, he will definitely be a trouble in the future."

Sea Marquis said coldly, and then he quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered words, and the seawater on the entire seabed began to vibrate violently.

On the sea, huge waves rose into the sky, as if they were about to tear the sky apart.

Sea Marquis's whole body exuded an even more terrifying aura, and his eyes flashed with ghostly light, tightly locking on the fleeing Ren Xiaoyao.

"Today, you cannot escape even if you have wings!"

Sea Marquis roared, and a dark blue beam of light shot out from his palm, chasing Ren Xiaoyao like a bolt of lightning.

Ren Xiaoyao felt the terrifying aura behind him and was horrified.

He tried his best to speed up and escape, his spiritual power running wildly, trying to get rid of this fatal beam.

However, Sea Marquis was too powerful, and the speed of the beam was extremely fast, gradually approaching Ren Xiaoyao.

At the moment when the beam was about to hit Ren Xiaoyao, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly performed a mysterious Movement Method, twisting its body in the air and narrowly avoiding the frontal attack of the beam.

But the beam of light grazed his body and still left a deep scar on his body. Ren Xiaoyao groaned, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his body shook a few times in the air.

Ao Lie saw this scene, with a proud smile on his face, "Haha, today is the day you die! Let's see where you can escape!"

Although Ao Lie was in unbearable pain, the joy in his heart when he saw Ren Xiaoyao being injured made him temporarily forget the pain.

Sea Marquis saw that the blow missed, and the killing intent in his eyes became even stronger. He took action again, and this time, countless water arrows shot out from the sea water, shooting towards Ren Xiaoyao like a heavy rain. Ren Xiaoyao continued to dodge the attacks of water arrows in the air, and several more Dao Wound wounds were added to his body. Blood kept flowing, dyeing the sea water around him red.

Ren Xiaoyao groaned secretly in his heart, knowing that he was facing an unprecedented crisis today.

But there was still a hint of unyielding in his eyes, and he secretly swore in his heart that even if he died in battle today, Sea Marquis and Ao Lie would have to pay the price.

In the end, Ren Xiaoyao relied on his tenacious will and superb Movement Method to find a chance to survive the water arrow attack, successfully broke through the obstruction of Sea Marquis and Ao Lie, and escaped towards the sea.

Sea Marquis and Ao Lie looked at the direction in which Ren Xiaoyao was leaving. Sea Marquis snorted coldly, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes. Ao Lie collapsed on the bottom of the sea, his eyes full of hatred and helplessness. He kept cursing Ren Xiaoyao, thinking about how to take revenge in the future.

Sea Marquis turned to look at Ao Lie, his eyes full of disgust, as if he was looking at a useless waste. He waved his hand, and a stream of water swept up Ao Lie, preparing to take him back to the Dragon Palace for disposal.

This underwater world, after experiencing this underwater world and experiencing this fierce battle, gradually returned to calm, but everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm, and a greater crisis may be waiting for Ren Xiaoyao and this sea area.

Sea Marquis took Ao Lie back to the Dragon Palace's healing place.

Ao Lie lay weakly on the huge coral bed. The wounds on his body were slowly healed by being soaked in the Dragon Palace's special healing liquid, but the hatred in his heart did not diminish at all.

He looked at the gloomy Sea Marquis and spoke again, "Master Sea Marquis, Ren Xiaoyao will definitely look for ways to improve his strength. We must find his traces as soon as possible and eliminate the roots. I heard that he seems to have plans for the seabed mineral veins. Maybe we can set up an ambush around there."

Sea Marquis nodded slightly, with a glint of thought flashing in his eyes, "Huh, if he really has an idea about the mineral vein, it would be a good opportunity. However, the environment around the mineral vein is complicated, and there are many Mysterious Power Guardian, he is a little human Martial Artist. Even if he has great abilities, he will not be able to succeed easily. But we cannot take it lightly. You need to take good care of your injuries first, and I will arrange for people to lay a dragnet around there."
