Looking at Xue Qinghe in front of him, Qi Ling couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions. This guy was once the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire! If he hadn't gone astray, he might very well still be the king of the Heaven Dou Empire.
But now it's too late to say anything. Xue Qinghe has already chosen this path and is reaping the consequences. Qi Ling can do now is see him off.
Then, Qi Ling cleared the way, eliminating all the Ghost Clan in front of her, and arrived in front of Xue Qinghe with the Dragon Maiden. As if sensing Qi Ling's arrival, the countless tentacles around Xue Qinghe's body also waved and attacked Qi Ling.
Qi Ling swung the Demon God Halberd, and a blood-red ripple severed all the tentacles. He then said to the Dragon Maiden, " Dragon Maiden, prepare to attack."
"Yes, Master," the Dragon Maiden replied.
Qi Ling had no idea how the Dragon Maiden planned to act. He originally thought that the Dragon Maiden would use some kind of teleportation array to seal him and Xue Qinghe in another space.
But at this moment, Qi Ling realized that he was wrong, and very wrong at that! He also felt that his imagination still needed improvement.
The Dragon Maiden, who had never made a move before, revealed her strength for the first time! Dragon Maiden body seemed to transform into a vortex-like force field, the internal power structure of which remained unseen by anyone.
Immediately afterwards, an enormous dragon head, covered in pink scales, emerged from the vortex, filling the entire world and leaving everyone present utterly astonished.
Even Qi Ling was speechless with shock, because the dragon head that the Dragon Maiden had transformed into was already much larger than when she had transformed into a dragon body, which was simply unimaginable!
Such a colossal being required no other means of manipulation; she opened her enormous mouth, faced the unknown mass on the ground, and swallowed it whole.
When Xue Qinghe saw the Dragon Maiden's true form, even though he had lost his original consciousness, the intense fear of death made him struggle, but to no avail, and he was swallowed whole by the Dragon Maiden.
It seemed that these countless tentacles were no more than eating a grilled octopus for the Dragon Maiden; they posed no difficulty and had no effect whatsoever.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, the Dragon Maiden reverted to her original appearance, playfully wiping her mouth as if to say, "Thank you for the meal."
"Huh? Why are you all looking at me? What happened?" the Dragon Maiden asked the others.
" Dragon Maiden, won't you get indigestion if you eat that thing?" Qi Ling couldn't help but ask. "After all, it doesn't look like normal food at all."
The Dragon Maiden laughed and said, "Oh, Master, even if I'm not picky about food, I wouldn't eat this kind of thing, would I? I'd feel nauseous for three days and three nights."
"I didn't eat that guy; instead, I sent him to another world and sealed him away temporarily. Once you, Master, completely seal the passage, this guy will no longer have any effect. At that time, I will release him again, and then you can deal with him."
Qi Ling breathed a sigh of relief, while the Dragon Maiden continued, "Master, you'd better hurry and set off! Do you see that hole that's leaking evil energy? That's the entrance to the Underworld."
Qi Ling looked in the direction the Dragon Maiden had indicated and indeed saw a hole with a diameter of two meters. Moreover, as the evil energy leaked out, the size of the hole seemed to be gradually expanding.
Without hesitation, Qi Ling rushed towards the cave entrance. He wanted to make sure there was no danger there before letting Bibi Dong come with him.
But just as Qi Ling was about to rush into the cave, suddenly, a long sword came slashing towards Qi Ling's face. The sword was incredibly fast and the force was astonishing, seemingly intended to kill her with one blow.
Unfortunately, the opponent was Qi Ling. Even though he didn't have time to swing his Demon God Halberd to block the attack, Qi Ling still managed to reach out and grab the weapon with his left hand, thus blocking the blow.
Then, Qi Ling frowned and had to step back. She looked at her hand, where a clear wound was visible, and blood was flowing out of it.
Strangely, there seemed to be a trace of decaying energy emanating from her wounds, constantly eroding her body! Fortunately, once her blood flowed out, Qi Ling's own power completely eliminated this decaying energy.
Even though she was caught off guard, the fact that the opponent could injure her so easily was enough to demonstrate their strength. Qi Ling couldn't help but look at the opponent.
From the cave entrance, a long sword was slowly extended, and then the owner of the sword arrived in this world.
It was a tall man, dressed in very simple clothes, with an eerie gray skin and bulging muscles all over his body, showing considerable strength.
But what is surprising and terrifying is that this person's body is very human-like, but his face is completely different from that of a human. It is a hideous and eerie face that inspires fear in anyone who looks at it, ugly and bizarre.
After appearing, this Ghost Clan guarded the cave entrance behind him, seemingly preventing Qi Ling from going to the Underworld through it. This clearly indicates that their purpose was to widen the cave entrance and then travel to the Douluo Continent world.
Qi Ling frowned. Although the guy in front of her was strong, he was far from being her match. But if she got entangled with such a fearless guy, it would take a lot of time.
But what Qi Ling lacks most right now is time. With every second that passes, the Underworld's erosion of the Douluo World intensifies. And as the Dragon Maiden said, when this erosion reaches a certain level, this world will become part of the Underworld, and it will be too late for her to stop it.
Since that's the case, then the only option is to finish this quickly and use all her strength to defeat the opponent in front of her! But just as Qi Ling was thinking this, suddenly, Tang San blocked her way from behind.
"Big brother, leave this guy to me. I'll handle him!" Tang San said firmly. "I won't let you down, big brother. I'll definitely be able to take care of him smoothly!"
Qi Ling wanted to decline, but she also knew that her most important task now was not to stay here and fight, but to go to the Underworld to close the passage there and end this battle!
Since that's the case, the enemy here can only be left to Tang San and his group. So Qi Ling patted Tang San on the shoulder and said, " Xiao San, this guy is yours to handle. Be careful!"
Tang San nodded to Qi Ling, then covered himself with the Sea God Divine Armor, Wings of the Sea God, which had been fully evolved, spread out on his back. At the same time, a sea-blue God Ring appeared behind him.
At the same time, Tang San produced his own divine weapon, the Sea God Trident. With each swing and movement, it seemed as if waves were surging, carrying astonishing power.
