Chapter 308 Using Oneself as Bait to Annihilate the Enemy Again

High above, the Silver Swordfish King and the Iron Lancefish King cruised the skies, their massive bodies like two floating islands.

The Silver Swordfish King was covered in mirror-like silver scales that shimmered dazzlingly under the sunlight. Its body was elongated, with sword-shaped fins resembling unsheathed sharp swords, fierce and bleak.

The Iron Lancefish King, on the other hand, was covered in hard black scales, like a warrior clad in iron armor. There was a long spike on its head, akin to a gigantic iron lance, straight and unyielding, emanating an indomitable fighting spirit.

Both were late-stage Fourth Order Sea Kings with substantial strength and intelligence. They held revered statuses within the Sea Clan, being among the elite.

"Old Iron, that Fairy Qingtan seems to be in a bad spot. How about we get closer and finish her off earlier? A human prodigy like her must taste delightful," said the Silver Swordfish King.

"Brother Sword, humans are the most cunning. Who knows if she's just pretending? If she's waiting for us to approach and then suddenly counters with a Mind Immobilizing Spell, we'll be in big trouble," replied the Iron Lancefish King.

"Old Iron, you have a point. We can't fall into the same trap as that stupid lizard. Let's wear her down with long-range attacks. I refuse to believe she can keep using that escape technique indefinitely.

I've heard of that Fairy Qingtan, the top of the Human Race's Hundred Flowers List. Though she doesn't look good to me, capturing her alive and humiliating her before eating in front of the humans would be quite amusing."

"Brother Sword, let's not. It's better to get rid of such a dangerous enemy as soon as possible. Look, her distance in using the escape technique is getting shorter, and her breath is getting weaker. She'll be done for soon."

Below them, Yu Qingtan, sensing that the two Fourth Order Sea Kings were not taking the bait, was also getting annoyed. By this time, Yu Qingtan had traveled thousands of miles away from Jinfu Immortal City, with no human cultivators around. She decided to stop pretending and show her true colors.

She put away the temporary identity plaque from the Cangqiong Sword Sect and bolstered her Mid-Nascent Stage with "Love's Protection" before executing the Dao Technique Bleeding Thousand Miles, instantly appearing above Brother Sword and Old Iron.

"Spirit Fixation!"

In just two words, like a devil's chant, they echoed in the ears of Brother Sword and Old Iron, and they found themselves unable to move.

"Ao~ Ao~"

Two six-colored water dragons surged from the gaping mouths of Brother Sword and Old Iron, bursting forth from their brains.

These were the Canglan Water Dragon Breaks unleashed by the Falling Curtain Sword. Although still named after water, they contained all the Paths that Yu Qingtan had comprehended, including the Third Level Way of the Five Elements, Path of Time, Space Path, Path of Power, and Path of the Sword; the Second Level Path of Blood; and the First Level containing the Path of Sound, Path of the Soul, and Path of Chess.

In addition, the technique also integrated the Soul-Purging Bewilderment, making it the strongest move Yu Qingtan could execute at that moment.

Under this attack, the two immobilized Fourth Order Sea Kings, Brother Sword and Old Iron, had their heads blown open, blood and flesh scattering, while their inner cores were deliberately preserved, although devoid of any soul.

Two late-stage Fourth Order Sea Kings were once again killed by Yu Qingtan, even instantly. They might have had many powerful techniques they never got a chance to use before dying so frustratingly.

After collecting the spoils, Yu Qingtan plunged into the sea, all the while using the Reincarnation Mantra to disguise herself as a Nascent Soul True Lord from the Extreme Path Demon Sect.

Soon she found the large forces of the Sea Clan retreating into the sea. It seemed that the Human Race had repelled this wave of the Sea Clan's invasion.

While "Love's Protection" was still in effect, Yu Qingtan went on a frenzied harvesting of the lives of the Sea Clan.

After about half a quarter of an hour, the Sea Clan dispatched three Fourth Order Sea Kings to attack Yu Qingtan. Not wanting to reveal too much of her strength, she clashed with them twice and then pretended to be overpowered before escaping the battlefield with Bleeding Thousand Miles.

Bleeding Thousand Miles did not have any distinct external features, so she did not worry about being recognized. As "Love's Protection" was about to expire, Yu Qingtan immediately escaped back to the walls of Jinfu Immortal City.

Seeing Yu Qingtan return unscathed, Jia Siwen, Venerable Jingxi, and Venerable Yuanzhuo all breathed a sigh of relief. If it wasn't for Yu Qingtan sending a message to Jia Siwen before fleeing, saying she had a way to escape, Venerable Jingxi might have contacted the Venerable already.

By now, the Sea Clan's army had already retreated, and the floodwater beneath the city walls had also receded. Cultivators were cleaning up the battlefield, collecting the corpses of the Sea Clan.

Yu Qingtan swept her Divine Sense and found Xiang Yiyi and the others all safe and sound. She was just about to go to them when a figure suddenly appeared in front of Yu Qingtan and casually erected a Soundproof Formation.

"Qing Tan, long time no see!"

"Brother Wu Di, long time no see!"

The person was none other than Wu Di, the Invincible Venerable of the Cangqiong Sword Sect.

He was also present at this battlefield, or rather, it was because Invincible Venerable Wu Di was at the Fojian Sect's battlefield that the Wendao Sect's supporting cultivators came here.

"Glad you're okay. What about those two Fourth Stage sea fish?"

"I slaughtered them!" Yu Qingtan said indifferently, as if she had squashed two ants.

"Qing Tan's strength is formidable; Wu Di is impressed!"

The Invincible Venerable didn't know whether to believe her or not.

"Brother, Fairy Qingtan is just at the Late Stage of the Golden Core, and she could already counterattack a late-stage Fourth Stage Sea Clan.

I remember when you were at the Late Stage of the Golden Core, you exerted all your efforts and only managed to kill a mid-stage Fourth Stage Demon King, nowhere near as impressive as her.

Brother, don't lose to Fairy Qingtan ten years from now; then your destined partner will surely fly away.

But no worries, Ah Ji will still care about Brother."

Invincible Venerable Wu Di's Artifact Spirit Ah Ji was sharing her opinion in his mind, but sadly, Invincible Venerable Wu Di still ignored her.

Venerable Wu Di and Yu Qingtan exchanged a few inconsequential sentences before she excused herself, saying she needed to rest, and Venerable Wu Di naturally did not stop her.

A person like Invincible Venerable Wu Di would naturally not express any sweet nothings. Yu Qingtan had no interest in love and emotions, so their conversation seemed rather insipid.

But the fact that Invincible Venerable Wu Di took the initiative to talk to Yu Qingtan ignited gossip among the onlookers.

Their bet was known to the higher-ups of both sects.

"Venerable Yin, does Invincible Venerable Wu Di have feelings for Fairy Qingtan?" Venerable Yuanzhuo, the Sect Master of the Fojian Sect who was out of the loop, asked Venerable Jingxi.

"Probably so, don't you think they're well matched? Just now, when Fairy Qingtan was being chased by two Fourth Stage Sea Kings, Wu Di Venerable burst forth, displaying divine might. He left six of the ten late-stage Fourth Stage Sea Kings attacking him dead and four heavily wounded, prompting the Sea Clan to retreat. What do you think Wu Di Venerable meant by that?"

Venerable Jingxi showed a mysterious smile and spoke lightly. However, the details of their bet were a private matter between the two and thus not something he would discuss with Venerable Yuanzhuo.

"I see," Venerable Yuanzhuo said, displaying a look of sudden realization.
