Chapter 538: 0538: Fall (9000 supplementary, requesting monthly ticket)
“Stop!”
With a wave of his hand, Han Fan manifested the realms of Spirit Island, green hills, and the White Mist Dragon behind him. Their cleansing light surged, enveloping the entire palace.
Immediately, amidst the sound of sword cries like a dragon’s howl, the flying sword in his hand continuously swelled, transforming into a streak of light that pierced the sky, dissipating the tornado.
One sword settles wind and waves!
This is the might of an Earth Immortal!
“This Fishman King, although he is at the peak of Fifth Level Professionals, his talents lie mostly in enslaving huge sea beasts…His head-on battle power is just average.”
Su Lu watched quietly from the sidelines, gazing at the scene unfold.
With the Thunder God and Han Fan laying siege, this Fishman King had no hope for survival.
This lined up with his inner expectations.
After all, he was a human being and naturally hoped for humans to dominate the world, a simple matter of personal bias.
If he hadn’t come this time, although this small adventure team wouldn’t have been wiped out completely –– Han Fan could have led them to escape –– the rise of the Fish People would have been unstoppable.
“Thunderbolt!”
Tony’s high-tech warblade in his hand was wound around with lightning, standing before the Fishman King.
For this Fishman King, he had no mercy, only wishing to chop him down as quickly as possible.
Whoosh!
The swipe of the blade only managed to break one layer of illusion, stirring up ripples like water waves.
“Over there.”
Zi furrowed his brow, and with a rumbling sound, numerous marble blocks at the palace entrance were lifted by telekinesis and transformed into long spears, blocking a semi-transparent figure.
The scales of the Fishman King turned almost transparent, much like a chameleon.
Upon seeing the marble long spears, its expression twisted angrily and it charged straight into them.
Thud! Thud!
Most of the sharp spear tips slid off its scales, with only a small number penetrating its line of defense. But it still managed to break out of the palace.
“Roar!”
The golden Fishman King let out an angry roar, with invisible ripples seemingly spreading through the seabed.
An enormous shadow sped towards the palace.
Resembling a giant crocodile, it was a Cretaceous-period Sarcosuchus with each tooth as large as a human. It even emitted a faint Dragon Might.
“Sure enough, it’s controlling sea beasts, we absolutely can’t let it escape!”
Gill appeared atop the palace, his robe shimmering with a blinding white light, “Forbidden Curse –– Ice Throne!”
Crack!
An extremely cold force started spreading.
A massive amount of sea water was instantly frozen into huge ice blocks, trapping the oversized Cretaceous Sarcosuchus in the center of an ice mountain.
Seeing this scene, the Fishman King broke through the palace’s membrane, plunged into the sea, and attempted to swim away as fast as possible.
It had already mobilized a large amount of its combat forces to besiege the human squad, leaving behind scarcely any giant Beast Emperors. They were no match for these pinnacle human professionals.
As soon as it touched the sea water, the scales on its body shone with a flickering light. Its legs merged to form a fish’s tail, enhancing its speed significantly.
“We can’t let it escape.”
Zi, Tony, and others chased after it, looking anxious.
“It won’t get away.”
However, even if the Fishman King was swift, it could not match teleportation!
After it sped forward for a while, it suddenly saw an invisible void ripple in front of it, forming a large gate. A human being walked out from it.
“The magnificent force of natural evolution, truly marvelous, producing not only intelligent species but also such formidable talents…”
With a touch of regret, Su Lu gazed at the Surfing Fish King, “Unfortunately… it’s not the time.”
If he ascended to godhood, perhaps he might spare the Fishman King’s life, considering such an exceptional individual is rare.
But now, this Fishman King already possessed the ability to threaten his ritual.
“Storm!”
Upon encountering Su Lu blocking his path, the Fishman King executed his extraordinary talents once more, forming a massive whirlpool that swept up the seawater.
The enormous storm did not harm anything.
Su Lu’s figure disappeared directly into the whirlpool.
By the time the Fishman King spotted him again, he was already before the Fishman King: “Child of the Ocean, experience the other side of the sea… Necromancy!”
The Fishman King’s ugly face drastically changed color.
It saw a series of eerie spirits, radiating from that human center, endlessly spreading out and enveloping it like a storm.
The forms of these spirits varied, eventually transforming into gigantic sea beasts like ancient dragons.
Opening their jaws wide, they suddenly turned into skeletons, bearing the death and resentment of the ocean floor accumulated over countless years, transformed into the most terrifying curse, enwrapping the Fishman King.
“You….”
It roared in anger, but its figure gradually stiffened.
A layer of gray surfaced on the scales of the Fishman King, spreading until it covered its entire body, transforming it into an ordinary marble statue.
Finally, the flame of life dissipated directly within the Fishman King’s pupils.
One Child of the Ocean, has fallen!
“It… Is it dead?”
Zi and Thunder God, who had arrived, couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
The Fishman King was strong!
If it were to fully utilize its own talents, with its control over hundreds of Beast Emperors, it would be unrivaled in Blue Star!
Even one on one, possessing the powerful control over storm power and scale defense, and more unseen mysterious abilities.
Tony estimated that he might not be able to kill it on his own, and would have to collaborate with Han Fan to ensure a complete kill.
But now, the Spirit King resolved it by himself?
“It’s just… why is it a statue?”
Tony regretfully slashed the statue of the Fishman King into pieces: “I was thinking about tasting this sashimi…”
“It… is it really dead?”
Zi concentrated, sensing the surroundings, fearing that this magical creature possessed some sort of deceitful ‘death-defying’ ability.
“Don’t worry, it is indeed dead.”
Su Lu glanced at his attribute column, the prompt of [XP+10000]was not fake.
‘Fifth level also has many types, this Fishman King was probably one of the strongest… unfortunately, it ran into me.’
In the world of the arcane, knowledge is power!
Although Su Lu himself is only fifth level, his mastery of the mystical arts could even be compared to some deities!
‘This way, the experience points required for advancing to the sixth level have been gathered, and over these years, I’ve already prepared the other rituals and materials… just waiting for the sixth Spirit Tide.’
He thought with a hint of expectation.
Most importantly, with the fall of the Mermaid King, the Sea Beasts would inevitably suffer a complete defeat.
He no longer had to worry about the possibility of hundreds of Beast Emperors attacking East City during his ritual.
“We… return to the battlefield!”
As Zi watched the scene, she had just relaxed, but her expression turned tense again: “Many of our colleagues still need our help!”
In her heart, she harbored great displeasure towards Bai Jing.
Although he was indeed the one who killed the Fishman King, he had completely changed over the years, cold and selfish… this time, he even stood by while many of their colleagues were attacked. It was ruthless.
Perhaps, she really needed to seriously consider Huang Minghao’s suggestion.
