Stealing a March, Stealing a March

Tang Chen has now lost consciousness, and Qian Daoliu, as Tang Chen's best friend—or at least that's what he thinks—naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch him perish at sea.

Six golden wings unfurled behind him, catching Tang Chen. He looked at Ye Qinghe, hesitatingly saying, "Fellow Daoist Ye, Soul Master sparring emphasizes fair combat. Attacking from behind... isn't that a bit..."

Ye Qinghe, abandoning his previous gentle demeanor, said in a deep voice, "Fairness? What is fairness? Tang Chen's Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, is primarily based on strength, while my Azure Qingming Needle Martial Soul, paired with the Azure Netherworld Sword, is primarily based on speed, emphasizing surprise and a fatal blow. If I were to abandon my Martial Soul's speed advantage and use the needle to directly withstand his hammer, that would be the greatest unfairness. Besides, I have already shown mercy; otherwise, he wouldn't have had a chance to Ring Detonation."

"This..." Qian Daoliu felt that Ye Qinghe's words made some sense, but it did not conform to the chivalrous spirit he had always adhered to, and for a moment, he did not know how to refute them.

Bo Saixi stepped forward and said, "Ye Fan is right. Giving up one's own advantages to fight is not only disrespectful to the opponent, but also unfair to oneself."

"Great minds think alike." Ye Qinghe clasped his hands in a fist salute to Bo Saixi.

A gentle smile bloomed on Bo Saixi's noble face as she said, "Brother Ye, it's my turn."

"Please." Ye Qinghe smiled.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Qian Daoliu had no choice but to take Tang Chen out of the battle circle, using his Angel Soul Power to heal Tang Chen's injuries while watching the battle.

"Bo Saixi, watch out!"

Nine Soul Ring— Soul Ring, purple, purple, black, black, black, red, red, red—burst out, but none of them lit up. Ye Qinghe waved his hand, and instantly, tens of thousands upon tens of thousands of cyan threads descended from the sky, locking onto and attacking Bo Saixi.

This is the second-stage skill of the Azure Realm: Rain of Pear Blossoms.

Even though Ye Qinghe had suppressed his cultivation to the Peerless Douluo, he still unleashed an attack that was virtually flawless.

Seeing this from afar, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but smile bitterly. His opponent hadn't lied; he had indeed held back. Faced with such a fast, fierce, and overwhelmingly powerful attack over a wide area, Tang Chen, as a weapon Soul Master, was simply unable to defend against it.

Or, to some extent, the Qingming Needle can be considered the nemesis of the Clear Sky Hammer.

Tang Chen's loss was not unjust.

"You actually called me 'girl,' don't you know you're much older than me?"

Compared to Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi's focus was on Ye Qinghe's phrase "Bo Saixi girl".

Her pretty face flushed red, but her speed in striking was by no means slow.

Faced with Ye Qinghe's devastating Rain of Pear Blossoms, a weapon capable of wiping out groups of enemies, she unleashed nine Soul Ring —eight black and one purple—and raised her right hand. Her fifth Soul Ring lit up, stirring up the seawater below and creating a massive seawater barrier in front of her.

This is her Fifth Soul Skill: The Sea God's Summoning, All Beasts Join Us.

The blue silk threads were completely blocked by the seawater barrier, but soon, Bo Saixi's expression changed, because the seawater barrier melted and disintegrated after blocking the blue silk threads.

"This is definitely not an ordinary Innate Domain; it actually contains the same evil-dispelling effect as the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar's domain, but it's several times stronger."

After a series of crisp popping sounds, the seawater barrier was completely breached. Bo Saixi decisively called upon the power of the ocean, and more seawater surged from the surface. Although it was still being disintegrated and dissolved, the seawater was endless.

For a moment, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

"The ability to summon the power of the ocean does have some merit."

Ye Qinghe nodded inwardly, exerted force with his left hand, and five pure white halos appeared on his arm.

The Ice Dragon King's Left Arm Soul Bone's first skill: Mystic Ice Dragon Soaring!

Ice Dragon King's Left Arm Soul Bone Second Skill: Frozen Domain!

roar---

A terrifying dragon roar, capable of tearing apart the heavens and earth, resounded.

Under the influence of the freezing domain, a large amount of ice-attribute energy converged and was added to the Xuanbing Dragon Soaring, instantly forming five nearly thousand-meter-long ice dragons.

Before this giant dragon, both Ye Qinghe and Bo Saixi appeared incredibly small; even the dragon's whiskers were thicker than theirs.

"What kind of Soul Skill is that?"

Such a spectacular scene was so powerful that even the Sea Soul Master far away on Sea God Island could feel the terrifying force of Ye Qinghe's attack.

"This is beyond what can be described as Soul Skill."

Bo Saixi gasped, her expression more solemn than ever before. She had thought she was invincible in the ocean, able to endlessly summon the power of the sea, but she never expected that her opponent could also summon ice-elemental energy.

At the same time, her heart couldn't help but begin to flutter.

As the High Priestess of Sea God Island and the Great Enshrined of the Sea God, she has been a favored daughter of heaven since the moment she awakened her Martial Soul. No one can keep up with her pace, so she has always longed for someone to walk alongside her, or even surpass her.

Having witnessed Ye Qinghe's strength, she, who had an extreme admiration for power, instantly felt a sense of being conquered.

"Mystic Ice Dragon Soars, Go!"

Ye Qinghe waved his hand, and five giant ice dragons roared as they lunged at Bo Saixi under his control.

"Seventh Soul Skill: True Form of the Sea God"

Faced with this attack, Bo Saixi decisively activated her Martial Soul Avatar, summoned the true form of the Sea God, and called upon all the ocean power she could summon to resist it with all her might.

The towering, thousand-meter-tall Sea God Phantom instantly enveloped Bo Saixi. A phantom scepter appeared in the Sea God Phantom's hand, and the two swung the scepter, spinning in a circle. However, they only managed to deflect two ice dragons. Of the remaining three ice dragons, two bit into the arms of the Sea God's true form, while the last one simply bit into Bo Saixi.

Bo Saixi instinctively closed her eyes. Just as she thought she was about to be devoured by the frost dragon, Ye Qinghe's voice rang in her ears, "Miss Bo Saixi, you flatter me."

Bo Saixi looked up and saw that Ye Qinghe had appeared at the top of the last giant ice dragon head, looking down at her from above.

Looking around, the entire area within a thousand miles was Ice Seal, except for a hundred meters around Sea God Island.

Just then, Ye Qinghe was facing away from the sunlight.

Bathed in sunlight, Ye Qinghe's image was magnified infinitely at this moment, to the point that he seemed like a god in Bo Saixi's eyes.

She said somewhat absentmindedly, "I lost."

Ye Qinghe nodded, then snapped his fingers, and the Ice Seal sea area returned to its original turbulent state.

Seeing this, Qian Daoliu secretly shook his head. The gap was too great. Although they were both Peerless Douluo, he and Tang Chen were no match for Ye Fan.

Even in one-on-one situations, Bo Saixi was able to defeat them.

There's no need to compete anymore.

At this moment, Tang Chen had awakened under the healing power of Qian Daoliu's Angel Soul Power.

"You're awake. Ye Fan won. He won against all of us."

Qian Daoliu frankly admitted that he was no match for Ye Fan.

"Hmph, attacking from behind, that's nothing special." Tang Chen snorted coldly, full of resentment.
