"Senior!"
The Dragon King was shocked. He was truly panicked this time. He had come to gamble on the future, not to commit suicide together with his opponent.
His desperate stance was actually just an attempt to scare his opponent, to let them know he had the ability to kill him, and then force them to hand over their Dao Fruit.
He knew that this ruthless person had schemed against several officials and possessed at least several Dao Fruit. Although none of them were top-tier Dao Fruit, for him, obtaining just one would be enough.
That was all he wanted. Even if the other party had only gritted their teeth and produced a single Dao Fruit in the end, he would have considered backing down. But he never expected the other party to flip the table like that!
"Please wait, senior, we can discuss this."
"What right do you have to discuss this with me?" Shen Ling sneered repeatedly. How could she not see that the other party was deliberately coercing her?
But who does he think he is? Does he have the right to threaten me?
It was just a dish on the table back then. If I were to be forced to take out my Dao Fruit by something so lowly, my former compatriots would laugh their heads off if they knew!
"Senior, do you truly intend to perish together with me!" The Dragon King's expression turned fierce. "Though you can be reborn, if you die this time, you will likely be forever barred from the position of Heavenly Venerable!"
"Let's die together." Shen Ling sneered again, "You dare to say that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, towering flames erupted, their light as bright as the sun on earth, illuminating the entire Jiangnan. Moreover, the immense power did not destroy Liuzhou, but rather exploded within the formation.
Its energy did not diffuse at all, but surged and burned within the formation. The energy that erupted in an instant was so astonishing that the entire population of Liuzhou was instantly blinded by the crimson light!
Two people spying from the East Sea in the distance gasped in shock.
"As expected of Heavenly Venerable, even in decline, his abilities far surpass those of ordinary people," the head guard's voice rarely carried a hint of awe.
The King of Qin coldly glanced over there, considering whether he should try to take advantage of the situation, but given the current circumstances, he really didn't dare.
Both the Dragon King and the Heavenly Python are top-tier King Level. If even they lose, then my presence would be nothing more than an afterthought.
Bang!
Suddenly, a fragment in the King of Qin's hand shattered.
The two men's eyes narrowed. That was the contract crystal between the West Sea Dragon King and them. If this thing broke, there was only one possibility: one of them would die, and the contract would be void!
He was not at the King Level, yet he was able to kill King Level being, Heavenly Venerable. He truly deserves to be the ruler of the mortal realm!
Before they could even react in surprise, they sensed something watching them from a distance.
The two exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, fled wildly towards the East Sea!
Not only did the opponent defeat the Dragon King, but she's also still alive. Having obtained the Dragon King's body, she'll likely recover to her Heavenly Venerable level in no time. Being noticed by her is not a good thing; the East Sea is currently too weak to withstand the onslaught of Heavenly Venerable!
"What disgusting bugs!"
Inside the grand formation, Shen Ling's face was deathly pale. The spiritual energy required to destroy the Blazing Yang Grand Formation was astonishing, and she was now almost completely exhausted. Most importantly, without the Blazing Yang Grand Formation, even if she had recovered some of her Heavenly Venerable abilities, without Blazing Yang Grand Formation, her strength would not be much different from that of an ordinary King Level cultivator.
Those two disgusting bastards forced me to take this step; they truly deserve to be torn to pieces!
At this moment, within the great formation, the enormous flesh and blood of the Heavenly Python were condensed to the extreme. Almost at the instant of its death, she used her profound blood magic to refine its essence. However, its body was still too large, and the massive flesh and blood, carrying a strong stench, swirled in the sky, making Shen Ling's face turn pale.
However, the harvest was not bad; two King Level Blood Essence Stone are not so easy to find in this era when spiritual energy has just been opened up.
On second thought, exchanging the Blazing Yang Grand Formation for it doesn't seem like a bad deal, but the problem is that the crisis isn't completely over yet!
"Clap clap clap clap!"
Sure enough, before he could finish refining, a crisp round of applause came from not far away.
"As expected of our Shen Family's ancestor, he was truly formidable!"
The person who arrived was none other than Shen Er!
"As expected of my descendant," Shen Ling laughed, "You've really kept it well hidden. You've used everyone. Even that old mudfish from the West Sea probably didn't expect you to have such a big appetite, did you?"
"You flatter me, Ancestor," Shen Er said with a smile, stepping forward.
"But I'm very curious," Shen Ling looked at the other person, "You used the Ghost King's True Body, which should have been extremely taxing. How could you recover so quickly? And what makes you think you can defeat me?"
"Our ancestor was truly remarkable. I am naturally far inferior to him. But after expending so much energy just now, does our ancestor still have any strength left?"
"I didn't," Shen Ling shook her head, but then smiled and said, "She did."
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar figure emerged from the still-burning flames.
Who else could it be but Chen Ying?
Shen Er's expression darkened upon seeing this. "I thought that the spell you used just now could only guarantee your own safety, but I didn't expect it could also protect her!"
"Looks like you really didn't intend to let her live." Shen Ling smiled and looked at Chen Ying, saying, "Am I right? Little girl? Human nature..."
Chen Ying's eyes were bloodshot, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She walked step by step in front of Shen Ling, staring intently at Shen Er: "Why?"
"A true man is born between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long!" Shen Er's voice was icy cold.
The last vestige of warmth in Chen Ying's heart was completely extinguished. "The Lord has treated you well!"
"So what?" Shen Er said coldly, "The matter of the Mirror Demon proves that it wasn't him who gave us charity, but rather that we were capable of getting to where we are today. He just knew in advance and tried to win us over. And once we're no longer of use, do you think our fate will be any better?"
You must always believe that he is different from us!
"You deserve to die!" Chen Ying's eyes flashed crimson, and the dark clouds in the sky that had not yet dispersed began to churn rapidly, with rolling thunder shaking the heavens and the earth!
Shen Er frowned and took a slight step back.
"You seem to have overlooked one thing. Chen Ying's Azure Dragon Technique's most powerful element is lightning, and that old mudfish from the West Sea also used thundercloud techniques to conceal the giant python's body. This was practically setting the stage for her."
As Shen Ling's voice rang out, Chen Ying was already floating in the sky, seemingly under her control as the rolling thunder roared.
"At this moment, even in terms of direct power, she is no less than the Dragon King himself. What do you have to do with me?"
"Is that so?" Shen Er lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up with a strange smile on his face, "I told you before that you were a scheming green tea bitch, but unfortunately, many people still didn't believe me, and ended up falling for your trick, didn't they?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Ling's face showed fear for the first time.
Because the voice that came out of Shen Er's mouth at this moment was a woman's voice!
"It's you!!!"
