"Who am I?"
Hearing this, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King laughed maniacally. "Hahahaha, hahahahahahaha!
"Poseidon's lapdog, and you actually dare ask who I am!"
"When you're dead, go ask Poseidon yourself!"
Blue electric arcs surged across the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's entire body. The sky itself seemed to darken because of his mood.
"Die!"
Countless blue-purple orbs of light condensed around the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
Under his control, they shot densely toward the Sea Princess.
"Mental Protection."
Facing the orbs that were nothing more than afterimages, the crown above the Sea Princess's head flickered lightly.
A ring-shaped "glass shield" appeared, blocking the incoming light orbs.
Bang, zzzzt—the sounds came from the shield.
It was the sound of water and lightning burning against each other as they touched the barrier.
"Dual water and lightning attributes, dual soul core soul beast…" The Sea Princess's pupils widened, an expression of disbelief on her face. "You… you're the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!"
"Who knows!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King did not answer her question. He knew full well that talking too much led to mistakes.
Last time, because he ran his mouth, he was nearly cleaved in two by Tang Chen's Asura God Sword.
This time, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King would not be careless.
"Damn it."
Seeing that the other party did not deny it, and in this sea region, the only soul beast hostile to her was him.
Besides the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who else could it be?
"Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, you actually betrayed soul beasts to help humans!"
"Do you have any shame before soul beasts?"
"I have shame for your spicy Gobi desert!" The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King suddenly appeared right in front of the Sea Princess and swung a fist packed with compressed soul power.
BOOM!
The Sea Princess's mental barrier shattered under absolute power.
Seeing this, the Sea Princess quickly retreated.
She continued using mental power and seawater to condense a gigantic sword.
This hundred-meter-long greatsword, as if receiving an order, ruthlessly stabbed toward the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
"Get lost!"
Hundreds of thunder orbs arranged themselves into a ring.
This was a move Ning Rongrong had taught him. When he fought Di Tian before, he was slightly inferior because his skills couldn't compare to Di Tian's, not because his cultivation was lower.
Before Ning Rongrong came, she had already calculated the proportions and told him that this method could unleash even stronger techniques.
And the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was certain this move would work.
It was also the first time he was using it.
"Soul Skill — Lightning Summoning"
"Biri biri — Railgun!"
The lightning released from the ring-shaped thunder orbs gathered in front of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King at a special frequency. In an instant, a blue-white beam shot out from the hollow center of the ring.
The hundred-meter-wide railgun tore through the sea surface and, in the blink of an eye, swallowed the Sea Princess's ice greatsword.
"Not good."
The Sea Princess released her mental power, distorting space and barely dodging the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's attack.
Looking at the terrifying beam that nearly split the ocean in two, the Sea Princess swallowed hard.
"Damn it, didn't Bo Saixi say the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was heavily injured and hadn't recovered?"
"How can he be this strong!"
To reclaim Vast Sea City, when Bo Saixi and Tang Chen contacted her, they said they had already severely wounded the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and asked her to bring a large force to help.
Bo Saixi and Tang Chen's goal was simple: kill him if possible, severely injure him if not.
But they had to ensure that afterward, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King could not come out to cause trouble.
This damned Deep Sea Demonic Whale King—was this what "heavily injured" looked like?
He was brimming with energy. He didn't look injured at all. This was simply ridiculous!
During the continuing battle, the Sea Princess was not someone who could be taken down easily. In the exchange, she did indeed discover that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's spirit was in a weakened state.
This was probably the injury Bo Saixi had mentioned!
After learning of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's wounds, the Sea Princess switched to mental-type attacks that were effective against spirit, and for a moment the balance of battle actually returned to the center line.
Compared to the Sea Princess's anxiety, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was equally anxious.
The Sea Princess worried about her two daughters, while the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King worried that Bo Saixi and Tang Chen in Vast Sea City would arrive at any moment.
As for Ning Rongrong saying there was no need to fear those two, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King only listened politely.
His life was his own; boasting belonged to others.
So the quicker he finished off the Sea Princess and reported back, the better.
However, both sides pulled at each other and reached a stalemate. For a time it became mutual attack and defense; neither could advance further to threaten the opponent.
On the other side.
Going back slightly in time.
The moment the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King sent the Sea Princess flying and chased after her to fight.
Liya and her elder sister quickly reacted, wanting to help their mother.
"You're not going anywhere."
A white ray of light instantly descended, and the surrounding space rapidly distorted.
"Your Highness, careful!"
Seeing that Liya and her sister had not noticed the attack from the sky, the hunched old man suddenly leaped up, placing himself behind the two girls, and at a speed visible to the naked eye returned to his original form.
"Sword Skill — Subspace Slash"
"Chii—"
Crimson blood filled the air. The old man who had turned into a gigantic turtle spat out a mouthful of blood; his ten-meter-wide turtle shell was covered in dense cracks.
"Prime Minister Turtle!"
Liya and her sister cried out in shock.
Dense cracks spread across Prime Minister Turtle's body. He turned his head with difficulty.
"Your Highness, you must protect yourself."
"This subordinate…" Before he could finish, Prime Minister Turtle's body, shell included, suddenly exploded. A mist of blood filled the air.
"That's the first one." An indifferent voice sounded again. "Since the mermaid clan has interfered, there is no need for it to continue existing."
"You… you—I will never forgive you!"
Golden light flashed from the crown atop the elder sister's head.
"Calm down!"
The punk-style youth and the chubby youth appeared together beside the two princesses.
"Evil Spirit Orca King, how am I supposed to calm down! That was Prime Minister Turtle who watched me grow up!"
The elder sister was furious; even toward the Evil Spirit Orca King brothers, she showed no courtesy.
"Hmph, I'm not your subordinate; you can't order me around."
"But if you fight like this, you're only courting death!"
The punk youth looked up. There should have been three people, but now only Ning Rongrong was in the sky.
The other soul master who had slaughtered a massive number of sea soul beasts seemed to have vanished; not even a trace of presence could be felt.
Even so, the punk youth's gaze was sharp; he had no choice but to suppress his emotions.
Watching Prime Minister Turtle's soul bone and 100,000-year soul ring being slowly absorbed by the pagoda in the opponent's hand, the punk youth spoke:
"Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda—you really are from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan."
"As far as I know, only Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong possess the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
"You're not Ning Fengzhi, so…"
"Hmph, Evil Spirit Orca King, is it?" Ning Rongrong's gaze was cold. "You seem to have come looking for revenge. It's because of the Evil Spirit Orca King soul ring we took back then, right!"
"But it doesn't matter anymore. Whether it's you or the soul beasts from the ice sea, all of you will die here today."
Even if the Sea God himself came, it would be the same.
