The game between people is often very complex, involving intrigue and open schemes, as well as strategic maneuvering and deceptive tactics. There are many ways to judge a person, but in the face of natural combat, strength and on-the-spot reaction determine everything.
Prince Consort Fei is a formidable man, capable of enduring for twenty years without revealing his strength, concealing his abilities right under the nose of someone like Xiao Mingyue, and seizing opportunities to turn the tables at crucial moments. By any measure, he is an extremely capable individual. However, in the present situation, he is indeed not as clever as the giant octopus before him.
Countless tentacles spread out, rendering his previously confident Southern Brightness Li Fire useless. His own firepower was limited, while the opponent's flesh was inexhaustible. How could he not have imagined that the opponent would use this method to evade his flames?
What should I do? What should I do?
Clearly, the other party wouldn't give it time to consider. Its surging tentacles were like a storm, and the Heavenly Ghost Octopus obviously knew that as long as it swallowed the creature in front of it, it would have no natural enemies!
"No!!"
The flames erupted again, engulfing Prince Consort Fei completely as he tried to escape, but the enemy had already laid everything in place; how could they let him get away?
After forcibly using flames to break through a portion of the sea of flesh, Prince Consort Fei discovered in despair that endless tentacles had already spread all around him. He glanced back at the sneering Yuchi Feihong. Had this guy already noticed?
Has he gone mad?
"If I die, Chen Qing will be next!" Prince Consort Fei roared.
Yuchi Feihong simply didn't bother to reply. He dared to do this because he had absolute confidence in Chen Qing. He believed that as long as Chen Qing had enough time, no matter how terrifying this giant octopus became, he would definitely have a solution!
"It's up to you now, my lord!"
In a blur, Yuchi Feihong felt a gentle stream of water envelop him. A relieved smile appeared on his lips, but he was too tired to even open his eyes.
Murong, standing to the side, stared at the person in astonishment.
Clad in dragon-scale golden armor, wielding a trident that gleamed with cold light, and with her long, flowing black hair, she instantly understood what the former number one war god of the West Sea truly meant.
"He has a good subordinate," Ao Zhen said softly, gazing at the bloodied and mangled Yuchi Feihong.
At this moment, Yuchi, enveloped by the elemental power of the Ao Zhen Water, was practically a lump of rotten flesh. She didn't know how he had managed to endure such injuries.
Murong remained silent. Princess White Jade once said that Yuchi Feihong possessed Steel Bone Physique and an even stronger will, making him a first-rate hero. She had underestimated him in the past, and that she had been mistaken.
"You all seem to trust Chen Qing a lot," Ao Zhen sighed, looking at the sea of fleshy whiskers. "It seems you believe that given time, he can solve any problem."
"Because that's always been his behavior." Murong Yunji said earnestly, "I'm not his subordinate, but since I've known him, I've never seen anything fail him. No matter how troublesome I thought it would be beforehand, he could always solve it. So I think Yuchi Feihong thinks so too!"
"Really?" Ao Zhen laughed upon hearing this, "Then he really is a reliable man, but I'm afraid this time it might be a bit risky."
Murong frowned, followed the other person's gaze, and was about to retort, but immediately froze.
Because Chen Qing has disappeared!!
The crystal that originally sealed Chen Qing disappeared along with Chen Qing, leaving no trace.
Where are the others?
"They were taken away."
By whom?
"I don't know." Ao Zhen shook her head. "He disappeared as soon as I woke up. I don't think he disappeared on his own. After all, his subordinates were in grave danger. If I hadn't intervened in time, they would probably be a pile of mangled flesh by now."
"How could this be?" Murong Yunji suddenly looked at the Yaksha next to her, Yaksha also completely dumbfounded.
Its attention was focused ahead; how could it have imagined that Chen Qing would be taken away?
Moreover, the person who took Chen Qing away was probably no ordinary person. The Yaksha clan are natural guards, and their sense of smell and perception are almost unmatched in the world. Even if their attention was completely drawn to the battle ahead, the person who could take Chen Qing away without making a sound must be a formidable figure!
Murong Yunji was completely stunned when she heard this. Yuchi Feihong risked his life to buy time, but while time was being bought, Chen Qing had disappeared.
"What do we do now?" Yaksha asked, somewhat uncertainly.
"Do it according to the original plan!" Murong said through gritted teeth.
"Oh?" Ao Zhen smiled and looked at Murong Yunji: "Are you sure?"
"I don't know what accident Chen Qing encountered, but I know that as long as we follow his plan, we won't go wrong!"
"Is that so?" Ao Zhen nodded. "In that case, let's follow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ao Zhen transformed into a streak of white light and cleared a path ahead. The blades of his trident were as dense as a storm, instantly shattering the countless tentacles in front of him!
Murong frowned, about to remind the other party that the Heavenly Ghost Octopus could regenerate, but the next moment he saw that the severed pieces of flesh were instantly frozen. He could see that the frozen pieces of flesh were struggling to regenerate, but under the power of freezing, it was obviously very difficult.
Perhaps this couldn't stop it, but it's clear that Ao Zhen's actions slowed down the other person's regeneration process.
Murong's pupils contracted. As expected of the true dragon of the West Sea, his experience was clearly much more seasoned than that of the newly-formed Prince Consort Fei.
"Walk!"
Ao Zhen quickly cleared a path, maintaining her offensive momentum while displaying astonishing speed. Murong, who had pushed her Divine Wind to its limit, felt like she was about to fall behind.
Ao Zhen glanced back at Murong and nodded slightly. A mortal confined to the gates of the Transcendent could actually use the Divine Wind Technique to such an extent. The potential of the human race was indeed not to be underestimated.
The Dragon Palace's initial use of the Dragon Transformation Channel and its recruitment of numerous elite human warriors to the Dragon Palace Dragon Palace a crucial factor in its dominance in the post-ancient era.
It remains to be seen what the fate of the Dragon Palace will be after this ancient rebirth.
Aww!!
In the distance, a deafening dragon roar echoed, clearly indicating that Prince Consort Fei had reached his limit!
"Help me!"
Ao Zhen didn't look back. For a man who only cared about his own health, dying like this was a slightly cheaper way to die, but it was still acceptable.
She remembered that on this Heavenly Ghost Octopus had to digest high-level creatures four times before it could devour them. It would first use acid to dissolve the scales, muscles, and then the bones. After Samsara through the intestines and stomach four times, the bone marrow would soften before it would start using the barbs in its stomach to pierce the spine and absorb the spinal fluid. The whole process was extremely painful, yet she could not die from it.
That feeling of being slowly digested is utterly despairing.
Honestly, if it were me, I couldn't find a more torturous way to do it, since I'm not really into tormenting others.
boom!!
Very suddenly, an incredibly dazzling red light erupted from the center, and the spreading flames forced Ao Zhen was already tens of thousands of feet away, to squint.
"What is that?" Murong and Yaksha both turned around with wide eyes, a deep-seated fear rising within them!
Just as she was about to turn around, Ao Zhen stopped her. "You'd better not turn around!"
Hearing the warning, Murong felt his restless mind freeze, and quickly asked, "Do you know what it is?"
" Red Lotus Karmic Fire, one of the most terrifying flames in the world!" Ao Zhen said coldly as he continued forward, "With life as its catalyst, as long as the world exists, the flame will never cease!"
"That's the Red Lotus Karmic Fire?" the Yaksha exclaimed in terror. "Your Highness, shouldn't we stop it?"
Yaksha didn't know much about it, but he had heard of it. He knew that it was an extremely dangerous thing, a cursed flame that, once ignited, could not be extinguished and would not stop until it burned all living beings in the world.
"There's no need to stop it," Ao Zhen said coldly. "The monster will naturally stop it."
"That monster?" Murong Yunji wanted to turn around, but forcibly held back. "How do we stop it?"
"It can stop the Red Lotus Karmic Fire just as easily as it stopped the Southern Brightness Li Fire!" Ao Zhen sneered, "They're both flames, do you think they're that different? Its tentacles can break off on their own, and it completely obeys the main brain's commands. When it encounters the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, it just breaks off and swims to the seabed where there are no living beings. Do you think that monster didn't notice that it had the seed of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire on it?"
"What an idiot! The Red Lotus Karmic Fire is terrifying, but if it could remain silent, how could it have been sealed away until today? You all felt it just now; the moment it appeared, that vigilance didn't come from the very core of your being?"
Both Murong and Yaksha nodded; they didn't even look behind them, yet they could sense the inexplicable fear emanating from them.
"The same goes for the Heavenly Ghost Octopus. Don't let its seemingly foolish appearance fool you; it's a cunning hunter. It sensed the flames from the very beginning, so during our first encounter, it deliberately retreated a step to make its opponent careless. If its opponent were in the sky, not in the sea, and wielding the Flames of the Red Lotus, they might have had some chance. But once they entered its encirclement, the fire they brought would never have a chance to burn again."
At this point, Ao Zhen chuckled and said, "I wonder who's behind him. It's really pathetic to have such a troublesome guy like him."
Murong: "."
"Your Highness, where are we going now?"
"According to Chen Qing's plan," Ao Zhen sneered, "Go find my dear father!"
