Chapter 423 - 349
Ten kilometers away, a several-meter-long azure eel swam slowly at the bottom of the river.
Inside the giant eel was a huge cavity where four people were sitting.
Among them was Qiong Ying, who had disappeared from the Solid Rock Prison with the Scattered Spirit Lock on her hands and feet.
A woman with green hair and an arrogant expression, Trish, said coldly, “Didn’t get caught by the Knight Order, but got caught in the south? The organization even ordered us to rescue you, Qiong Ying. How laughable.”
Qiong Ying, with a calm expression, said, “They sent out a Radiant Moon Level right away. The people of the Great Flame Country are much smarter than those idiots up north who queue up to die.”
“Smart?” Bain, a small man next to her, laughed, “If they were smart, would they transfer you out? Would they be so easily taken down by my Water Dream Miasma? Compared to Qiguang, these people are far inferior.”
The last of the four, a burly man with a single tuft of red hair on his head, grinned but said nothing.
However, Trish sneered mercilessly, “With the element of surprise and the help of the fog dissolving the Water Dream Miasma, Bain, if you couldn’t handle those people, you might as well leave the organization.”
“Trish, you…”
“What about me?” Trish turned her head, her sharp eyes staring directly at Bain.
Bain’s tone choked, his face shifting unpredictably.
At this moment, the burly man with the tuft of red hair laughed loudly, “Don’t argue. We’re all on the same side. This smooth operation is thanks to Bain, isn’t it?”
Trish glanced at him, then looked away, crossing her arms indifferently, “That’s true.”
Bain used the Water Dream Miasma, employing the river fog as a medium to trap everyone in an illusion. Only then could they easily rescue Qiong Ying.
Although Bain felt a little stifled, since Levinton had spoken, Bain grunted and said no more.
Qiong Ying thought for a moment and suddenly said, “There are a few people who have some strength.”
“Some strength?” Trish asked casually, “How do they compare to us?”
“They can fight.”
“Oh?”
This piqued the interest of not only Trish but also Bain and Levinton.
Trish said lightly, “If your rescue mission hadn’t been of such high priority, I would have liked to meet them.”
As soon as Trish finished speaking, Qiong Ying suddenly sensed something and looked up at the high altitude above the river.
There was a gathering of spirit light, and a silver door suddenly appeared in mid-air from which a young man holding a long saber emerged.
As soon as the young man appeared, the black light on the long saber surged, and he slashed downward.
A huge black line flashed and disappeared. Instantly, waves rose, and the river’s flow was cut off!
The giant azure eel underwater couldn’t decelerate in time. Its head was sliced open before exploding into water elements.
“Damn it, what the hell!” Bain broke out of the water, cursing loudly.
Trish and the others followed, stepping onto the water’s surface.
They all looked at Su Yuan in mid-air, as well as the slowly dissipating Space Gate behind him, with some surprise.
“Caught up so quickly?”
Trish scrutinized Su Yuan. Though disdainful, she knew that Bain’s Water Dream Miasma would have put her to sleep for quite a while if she had fallen for it.
“And there’s also the Space Transfer skill. Qiong Ying, is this one of the people you mentioned?” Trish asked Qiong Ying.
Qiong Ying responded, “Yes.”
Trish’s eyes showed a cold smile, and she nodded slightly.
Su Yuan looked down at the people stopped underwater and said slowly, “Everyone, this is the end of the line.”
Bain shouted, “You woke up from my Water Dream Miasma so quickly. You’re quite impressive. But I didn’t expect you to come here alone?”
Su Yuan smiled, “I’m responsible for the escort. Since the prisoner escaped, I naturally have to come and take them back.”
Bain, as if hearing a joke, snorted, “Just you?”
Trish said coldly, “Stop talking nonsense. If you want to fight, just do it.”
Bain glared at her, “Fine, I’ll handle him alone. But I want 80% of the mission reward.”
Trish said indifferently, “Finish him, and it’s all yours.”
Levinton laughed, “I have no objections. But Bain, if that’s the case, you’ll have to rely entirely on yourself. Be careful~”
Bain snorted, “Just watch!”
Saying this, Bain raised his hands. The river and sea surged violently. A massive sea beast with barbed spikes leaped out of the water, biting at Su Yuan!
Su Yuan watched the fierce head snap towards him, remaining calm as if he had no intention of dodging.
The next moment, the sea beast bit into Su Yuan. But its massive body exploded layer by layer, disappearing in an instant.
The sea surface was calm again, as if nothing had happened.
Bain saw Su Yuan’s silver eyes, similar to the World Tree Leaf, and raised an eyebrow, “Easily saw through my illusion, did you? Impressive.”
It turned out there hadn’t been any sea beast. Bain had only created an illusion.
But Su Yuan saw through it easily with the “True Vision” effect from his All-Knowing Vision in the Transformation Realm.
At that moment, Su Yuan raised his blade and slashed again, another deep black line slicing through the void beside Bain.
This attack’s power, Bain had felt before. Water light swirled around him as he quickly dodged to the side.
As the black line passed, even the sea it touched was annihilated, leaving a momentary cut in the water.
Dodging, Bain’s expression grew more serious. He didn’t dare let Su Yuan attack freely anymore and immediately began sealing. The river below emitted a strong azure light.
“Piranha!”
Bain shouted softly. The water surface surged as countless azure piranhas with blood-red mouths burst out, numbering at least hundreds, flooding towards Su Yuan!
“All illusions?” Su Yuan was a bit surprised.
In Su Yuan’s All-Knowing Vision, these piranhas were all illusions.
Logically, after seeing through the previous illusion, Bain shouldn’t use such an obvious illusion again.
Unless he was confident this illusion would work.
Activating All-Knowing Vision fully, Su Yuan quickly discovered other subtle energy within the piranhas.
“So they’re different.”
Su Yuan quickly sealed, summoning a Frost Giant Dragon from the Gate of Hell.
Levinton in the distance rubbed his chin, smiling, “He knows summoning? Interesting.”
Trish said, “Just a master-quality Ice Dragon, still cannon fodder.”
As the Frost Giant Dragon appeared, a Hexagram Barrier formed beneath its feet, shooting countless ice crystals—an Ice Crystal Explosion!
Endless ice crystals blasted out, destroying countless piranhas below.
But the stream of piranhas was endless. Under the surging fish, the Frost Giant Dragon couldn’t kill them all.
Soon, many piranhas broke through the bombardment, biting into the Frost Giant Dragon, and their numbers grew.
The Frost Giant Dragon showed signs of pain. Though barely injured, it struggled in mid-air as if being gnawed.
“Roar!!”
The Frost Giant Dragon roared in anger and directly unleashed Frost Sky Freeze Kill, clearing a large area of piranhas.
But it was only temporary. More piranhas swarmed, quickly covering the Frost Giant Dragon.
In Su Yuan’s senses, the Frost Giant Dragon’s aura weakened. With a mournful cry, it fell from the sky into the sea.
Bain laughed loudly, “Illusion is reality, and reality is illusion. Kid, die for me!”
Hundreds of piranhas swarmed towards Su Yuan like a locust storm.
“Just illusions, yet they killed the Frost Giant Dragon. That must be the effect of that strange energy—soul power, right? Interesting.”
Su Yuan watched the fish swarm without panic.
“It also confirms that these illusion creatures with soul power can be hit by normal attacks. That makes it easier…”
Su Yuan focused, and a surge of black flames erupted from beneath his feet, enveloping the area.
The swarming fish melted instantly in the black fire.
“Strong flames!” Bain was shocked, “But on this great river, no matter how strong the flames, I’ll extinguish them!”
Bain crouched, thrusting his hands into the water as his vast Star Power poured in.
Instantly, the river within a kilometer radius shook intensely, far more than before.
“Secret Skill, Whale Fall!”
Bain shouted. The water surface glowed brightly. The river swirled violently, and a hundred-meter-long blue whale leaped high, swallowing Su Yuan in one gulp!
This blue whale leaped several hundred meters, drawing an elegant arc before falling back to the water.
Even Trish and the others in the distance looked serious at this move.
Whale Fall, an incredibly unique Water Element Epic Skill Bain had luckily obtained.
Summoning a blue whale from the deep sea, leaping from the water and returning to it.
Above water was the primary world; below was an unknown deep sea.
Thus, during the blue whale’s leap, everything it swallowed and took back to the sea would be taken to an unknown deep sea, forever adrift and lost!
Once swallowed by the blue whale, completely sealed by the deep sea power, no displacement or substitute skills could be used, more effective than Sky Lock Golden Cicada.
To counter this move, the best method was not to be hit. Otherwise, it was nearly certain death.
Seeing Su Yuan swallowed by the blue whale, Trish said indifferently, “A finishing move right away? Too dull if it’s over already.”
As the blue whale was about to fall back into the water, it suddenly let out a pained sound.
“What’s going on!” Bain was shocked. He had killed several enemies with Whale Fall, never encountering this situation before.
Trish and the others frowned, unable to imagine what caused the blue whale to make such a sound.
But they soon found out.
A tens-of-meter-long Black Flame Long Saber pierced through the blue whale, cutting it open.
Then, a black giant like a demon god ripped the blue whale apart, emerging to stand on the sea.
It was the Void Evil Manifesting Saints!
