Chapter 1336 Regent's Crisis
Regent has lost its biggest trump card.
The dimming of the Water Stone greatly reduced her combat effectiveness on land.
In areas where water is scarce, Regent's combat abilities are reduced by at least 30%.
She held the Fish Dragon King, who had transformed into a juvenile form, tightly in her arms, took a deep breath, and with a clenched fist in her left hand, a large amount of water element surged in, transforming into a trident.
Some of the water elements transformed into a water sphere, which floated in front of Regent.
"Xiao Mi, I'm the one who dragged you into this. Promise me you'll live well."
Regent wiped the crimson blood from her face, glanced back, and saw that the gloomy sky behind her had been half-stained black and red by the terrifying evil aura.
It seemed as if countless vengeful spirits were howling within it.
Lijing understood that Zhongliwu had caught up.
She carefully placed the Fish Dragon King into the water sphere, removed the Water Stone, tied it to the Fish Dragon King's tail, then with a fierce expression, she forcefully struck the water sphere with her trident, sending it away.
"We must live! We absolutely must live!"
Regent glanced resolutely at the water sphere that had flown far away, gripped the trident in her hand tightly, and layers of water covered her body, transforming into a suit of armor.
"I am the Little Mermaid Princess, and the blood of an indomitable mermaid flows through my veins."
"I may die, but I will fight to the death."
"For the glory of the merfolk, O Palace of Rebirth, please guide your people!"
Regent forcefully planted the trident into the ground, her knuckles turning bluish-white from the excessive force, and the scales on the back of her hand shimmering.
She cut the skin on her palm, and the blood seeping from the wound merged into the trident, forming ancient incantations within it. A large amount of water element boiled, turning the surrounding snow and ice into lakes.
In the middle of the lake, a huge mermaid pattern lit up, and the hundred-meter-wide lake surface arched like the back of a giant beast awakening, as if a giant was turning over in the lake.
Suddenly, jets of water shot into the sky, intertwining in the air to form a giant mermaid statue.
The giant mermaid only has blurry facial features, but it holds a trident with ancient patterns in its hand. As the patterns gradually light up, a strong aura of killing intent is also gradually born.
"Mermaid Secret Technique! Mermaid Colossus!"
A few streaks of crimson suddenly appeared beneath Regent's pale face as she commanded the giant mermaid to swing its massive trident, unleashing a huge crescent-shaped storm of killing intent from its halberd.
He vanished in a cloud of energy, traveling thirty thousand miles!
Before her, vengeful spirits lunged forward, baring their fangs and claws, while behind them, evil clouds carried the Grim Reaper.
"Did you think you could escape by playing some tricks?"
Zhongli Wu laughed maniacally and raised his hand towards Lijing.
Suddenly, thousands of skeletal phantoms surged from the sleeves of his black robe, each skull's eye socket pulsating with green flames, transforming into an evil cloud that pierced through the murderous aura that had turned into a storm.
This caused a deafening clang of metal to suddenly resound across the far north, the enormous sound transforming into a visible sonic boom that instantly swept across the ice peaks a hundred meters away.
"Boom!!"
With a loud crash of collapsing ice, the ice peak slowly split in two and crashed to the ground.
Three more bloody gashes appeared on Regent's face, and blood flowed down her slender neck into her armor.
Zhongli Wu's eyes flashed red, and the Grim Reaper's scythe in his hand trembled slightly, bursting out a terrifying black light.
The black light melted the space in an instant, like the hand of death, trampling through layers of space as it swept away into the distance.
Lijing instantly guessed Zhongliwu's intention: this human's target was Xiaomi!
"Don't even think about it!"
Regent pulled out the trident, which swept up the heavy seawater and rose into the sky, while the giant mermaid statue behind her brandished the trident.
"An overconfident ant!"
Zhongli Wu snorted coldly, and his aura surged once again.
The overwhelming malevolent energy transformed into a scythe, its blood-red light soaring into the sky, like a demon that wreaks havoc on the human world, carrying heavy blood-red light as it slashed down towards the giant mermaid statue.
A terrifying killing intent and malevolent aura swept in like a storm, destroying everything in its path.
The glacier seemed to have had its colors stolen, and in the blink of an eye, only a deathly gray remained, all vitality shattered under the impact of the malevolent energy.
Regent's face turned deathly pale, and her legs began to tremble involuntarily.
She was facing the terrifying Grim Reaper!
The terror was beyond description; the sky and earth changed color, and the ground collapsed and rocks split.
Zhongli Wu was very experienced in combat. He controlled the Grim Reaper to quickly strike a point on the giant mermaid statue, while a large number of evil clouds carrying vengeful skeletons rushed towards Lijing.
Regent could only manipulate the giant mermaid statue to resist while simultaneously creating huge waves to shatter the vengeful spirits and skeletons.
The giant mermaid statue only lasted a few breaths under the scythe of death before huge cracks appeared.
Regent swayed, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
Zhongli Wu tilted his head slightly, as if sniffing the bloody smell in the air.
"How wonderful!"
"You will definitely create the best work!"
Zhongli Wu laughed maniacally, his body surging with murderous aura, within which faint red lightning twisted and writhed.
The giant mermaid was continuously struck down, and when the Grim Reaper's scythe struck for the thirteenth time, its left arm was severed in one blow.
The giant was injured, and Regent coughed up a mouthful of blood. Before she could react, Zhongli Wu seized the opportunity and shattered the giant wave with a palm, turning it into countless water droplets that evaporated.
The malevolent energy seized the opportunity to enter, polluting the water elements and corroding the giant mermaid statue.
"That's it? I haven't even used my full strength yet!" Zhongli Wu laughed wildly, the malevolent energy that had invaded the mermaid giant's body was like two giant parasites, biting a crack in its neck.
Death slowly raised his scythe and placed it against the neck of the giant mermaid.
Regent was no longer able to control the giant mermaid statue that had been corrupted by evil energy.
Centered on the giant mermaid statue, the area within a radius of dozens of miles has been surrounded and invaded by malevolent energy.
The giant mermaid statue, made of water element, has been invaded by evil energy and turned dark red, resembling a huge bloody pustules.
The glacier was shattered by the residual force, triggering an avalanche, but then disappeared silently amidst the malevolent energy.
"Sha"
Regent knelt on one knee, biting her lip tightly, but she couldn't swallow the metallic taste in her mouth, and could only let the blood spill onto the grayish-white water.
The latest novel is first published here!
"Am I going to die...?"
Without further hesitation, Regent raised her right hand and pressed it against her heart.
If she was destined to perish, she would rather self-destruct than be captured by Zhongli Wu and turned into a vengeful spirit.
Meanwhile, in the distance, the bloodthirsty hand that had flown out earlier folded back, and a ball of water was caught in its hand. It was the very ball of water that contained the Fish Dragon King.
"Little Mimi!" Regent's eyes widened in fury as she let out a piercing roar.
Zhongli Wu threw the Fish Dragon King at Lijing; he wouldn't let go of such a top-tier soul beast.
Since we've already captured them, these two soul beasts are going to die anyway, so we might as well play with them a little longer and increase their despair. That way, the vengeful spirits we create will be even stronger.
"Even if you self-destruct, your soul will not escape my grasp!" Zhongli Wu's face was full of ferocity, and with a flick of his left hand, the Holy Spirit Flag was already in his grasp.
The Holy Spirit Banner emitted an eerie red light, attracting wisps of evil clouds that coalesced into a gigantic black skull.
A malevolent magic circle appeared in the skeleton's hand, ready to strike down on Regent and the Fish Dragon King.
Regent's eyes dimmed as she took off the Water Stone and held it in her hand.
She seemed overconfident, believing that she could move freely across the sea just because she held the Water Stone in her hands.
Even if I can't win, I can run away!
The confident words she spoke to the Mermaid Queen back then still echo in Regent's mind.
"I'm sorry, Mother, I've broken my promise."
Regent held Fish Dragon King Xiaomi tightly in her arms, her eyes filled with tears. "I'm sorry, Xiaomi, it's all because of my arrogance that I've dragged you down."
Regent wiped away her tears and gripped the Water Stone tightly in her left hand.
Self-destruction is now the only way for her to unleash her indomitable roar.
Lijing planned to detonate the Water Stone as well; even if she died, she would tear a piece of flesh from Zhongliwu's body!
"Mother Queen, I want to be your daughter again in the next life! Little sister, remember to be obedient from now on."
After saying the apology, Regent felt a great weight lifted off her shoulders, gripped the Water Stone tightly, and glared angrily.
Zhongli Wu was well aware of Lijing's little scheme, but he wasn't afraid.
"Perfect, the flesh and blood of that ichthyosaur can temporarily replenish my losses." Zhongli Wu controlled the burning of his soul power flames to a smaller extent.
The black skeleton roared and slammed the magic circle in its hand down.
Black and red evil energy and lightning gave rise to irregularly shaped spikes within the magic array. Upon seeing these terrifying spikes, numerous vengeful spirits immediately let out mournful howls and fled quickly, as if they were some kind of terrifying thing.
"Feel honored to be my offering!"
Zhongli Wu was about to crack a triumphant laugh when he suddenly caught a glimpse of snowflakes falling from the sky.
Snowflakes? Didn't I already activate my domain?
Not to mention snowflakes, even the fierce winds of the frozen plains, capable of tearing through protective soul power, cannot get in.
The next moment, a sudden turmoil and warning arose in his mind.
Zhongli Wu's combat instincts, derived from his Super Douluo form, immediately shifted his body into a dodging posture, while simultaneously drawing a large amount of soul power to transform the evil clouds into a giant skull shield.
Just before Lijing self-destructed, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a silver light piercing through the black clouds that blocked the area for hundreds of miles, like the dawn breaking through the heavens and earth.
"You unfilial son! Go back and copy advanced mathematics one hundred times as punishment!"
A red light shone beside Regent and pulled her into an embrace.
Regent was on high alert and instinctively wanted to resist, but she caught a familiar scent in her nose, the safe scent that haunted her dreams.
The warmth dispelled the chill, and the intense heat caused the tears that had been welling up in Regent's eyes to burst forth uncontrollably.
"Master! Ahhhhhh!!!"
Like a child who had done something wrong, Lijing tightly hugged Ye Nanxiao's waist with one hand and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Ye Nanxiao gently rubbed Lijing's round head, his face bearing a gentle smile, but the murderous intent in his eyes was enough to make the heavens and earth change color. (End of this chapter)
