Chapter 300: The Mermaid Princess’ Invitation
At the City of Bliss...
Qi Shaoxuan stood tall, his purple aura surrounding him.
Bi Xuanqing stood opposite him, badly injured. He quickly took the healing pills from his servant and consumed them without worrying about how much they cost.
For the Snake race, their galls were a vital point. When his gall was pierced through, he had already lost the battle.
A genius Nirvana demon was defeated by a Golden Core human cultivator? Bi Xuanqing had put shame on himself.
In comparison, Qi Shaoxuan won great honor for himself.
Although the ocean demons believed that looks should be the priority, they would still respect someone with plain looks if they were strong enough.
Furthermore, Qi Shaoxuan was considered to be handsome if not compared to Shen Tian.
Many female ocean demons blushed upon seeing Qi Shanxuan’s battle. He had proved himself to be the top cultivator in the five regions, excluding Shen Tian, who was one of his mental demons!
...
Qi Shaoxuan tried to force the blade out of his body and let his imagination run wild.
He felt that he should not be content with his current strength.
He believed that although he could not beat Shen Tian yet, he should have a higher goal as that would make him stronger.
He had to set his attitude right and not be defeated by Shen Tian mentally!
Otherwise, what Shen Tian said would come true. Whoever lost to him would never beat him in the future.
I, Qi Shaoxuan, will definitely defeat Shen Tian in the future!
Qi Shaoxuan was flooded with excitement, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood.
Puff!
He spat azure blood on a rock on the side and corroded it immediately.
Apparently, Bi Xuanqing’s attack was pretty strong. Not only was it hard to get rid of it, but it was also very corrosive.
Even Qi Shaoxuan had to rest for a few days before he could fully recover from it.
However, the prodigies by Bi Xuanqing’s side did not want to give up this easily, especially seeing that Bi Xuanqing was defeated.
If they left without doing anything, they would be in great shame.
A strong man walked forward and said, “The Purple Mansion Saint is strong indeed. I did not expect you to beat Bi Xuanqing!
“However, that’s not enough to fool around here in North Sea.
“I’m not going to bully you, but if you can survive my next ten hits, I’ll pretend nothing has happened today.
“Or else, you guys should leave North Sea! We do not welcome humans around here!”
He was a Giant Crocodile prodigy, and the aura he exuded was even stronger than Bi Xuanqing’s.
If the battle prowess Bi Xuanqing showcased in this fight now was 6,000 units, then Er Tongtian’s battle prowess was 10,000 units!
Also, unlike the Black Snake race, the Giant Crocodile race would not be affected by the Black Dragon race.
Thus, Qi Shaoxuan would have a difficult time fighting against him.
What’s more, Qi Shaoxuan was injured.
As such, it was not so easy withstanding ten of Er Tongtian’s attacks. He could lose if he did not defend carefully.
If he lost, not only could Er Tongtian regain the pride they had lost, but Qi Shaoxuan would also be the one carrying the shame now.
Although this big-sized crocodile looked stupid, he was rather scheming!
His plan was very well thought!
...
“What? You want to beat me in 10 moves? Stop dreaming!”
Qi Shaoxuan took a deep breath and picked up his Heaven’s Halberd.
At the same time, a hand blocked in front of Qi Shaoxuan, and Shen Tian said softly, “Don’t push yourself.”
He was wearing a pure white robe and stood in front of him.
Shen Tian put his hand on Qi Shaoxuan’s shoulder slowly.
Qi Shaoxuan felt the pain immediately and tried to struggle out of instinct. However, he stopped himself from doing that. He felt that Shen Tian would not harm him. Anyway, he could not do anything even if Shen Tian wanted to harm him.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk rotated slowly, and a stream of vitality rushed into Qi Shaoxuan’s body. The snake poison was purged instantly.
Simultaneously, Qi Shaoxuan felt the sword aura that he was trying to get rid of stopped in his body.
He took a few deep breaths, and the azure sword aura was forced out of his body,
A few hundred meters away, some rocks were cut in half.
“What? How is that possible!?”
Bi Xuanqing looked at everything in disbelief. He was so angry that he started coughing blood again.
His race specialized in assassination, and long-distance attacks were what they were good at.
Most of the time, when the Snake race attacked their opponents, they would inject the aura and poison into them. Even if they missed the vital parts of the body, they could deal constant damage over time.
When the poison and sword aura took effect, the Snake race would launch an attack again. This would usually finish off the target instantly.
Although Qi Shaoxuan was Black Dragon Island’s human partner—thus, he did not really plan to kill him—the combo attacks would defeat Qi Shaoxuan for sure.
If Qi Shaoxuan had not landed the attack on Bi Xuanqing now, the outcome of the battle would still be uncertain.
Even though Qi Shaoxuan had won the fight just now, he had been badly injured.
He could hardly block ten attacks from Er Tongtian with the poison and sword aura still residing in him.
What did this Divine Firmament Saint do?
He put his hand on Qi Shaoxuan’s shoulder, and the sword aura was expelled!
Even Qi Shaoxuan’s blood became red in color, showing that the poison was purged too.
Shen Tian had destroyed all the plans Bi Xuanqing had!
He felt worse than losing to Qi Shaoxuan now!
...
“Thank you, Brother Shen.”
Qi Shaoxuan was full of surprise. He knew that Shen Tian was very good, but he did not expect him to be this powerful.
Even the Snake race’s most challenging attack was not a problem to him!
I’m indeed not Brother Shen’s match!
“Brother Qi, you already won one battle. Leave this crocodile to me.” Shen Tian looked at Qi Shaoxuan’s forehead and patted him on his shoulder. “Or else, they will not respect me either.”
Upon seeing the smile on Shen Tian’s face, Qi Shaoxuan was very encouraged.
To be frank, although Qi Shaoxuan was very proud, he knew how good he was. He would not overestimate himself.
Er Tongtian’s cultivation and power surpassed Bi Xuanqing’s. Even if Qi Shaoxuan was in his best form, he might not be able to beat this crocodile.
Not to mention that he was badly injured just now.
So what if he did survive ten of Er Tongtian’s attacks? It did not prove anything if he did not defeat him.
If it’s Brother Shen, he has the chance to beat this crocodile!
Qi Shaoxuan nodded slowly.
“Brother Shen, be careful.”
...
“Seems like you are stronger than the one just now?
“Hmmm, you look handsome too. All pretty boys should be damned. I should crush guys like you!”
Er Tongtian looked at Shen Tian from head to toe and started shaking his head vigorously. He clearly had some bad memories with pretty boys.
“For your case, ten moves won’t be enough.
“You are too handsome, it has to be 100 moves! I will beat you senseless!”
Er Tongtian took out his giant knife and pounced at Shen Tian. His strong and fierce aura was like a hungry crocodile in a flood!
Qi Shaoxuan frowned. To be honest, Er Tongtian was way stronger than what he was expecting.
He looked stupid, but he was much stronger than Bi Xuanqing when it came to battle.
It was only a knife, yet it had the power to cut through everything.
At least, Qi Shaoxuan believed that he had to reach the Nascent Soul stage before he could beat this crocodile.
Or else, his odds of winning would not be high at all.
The giant knife cut through the void, and a gigantic crocodile avatar appeared. One could feel its killing intent from hundreds of miles away.
The waves crashed against Shen Tian’s body. His body burst in the waves and transformed into countless illusions.
A pair of golden wings appeared on his back, and it looked very glorified.
At the same time, a jade whip with a red lily on it appeared in his right hand.
The Divine Devouring Vine and Hurricane Lily looked very lively with the seawater.
He dodged it?
Er Tongtian roared and rushed forward again.
The huge waves appeared again, much more intense than the previous ones.
Er Tongtian was lucky they were not inside the City of Bliss, or he would face a huge sum of fines.
“Slow, your attacks are too slow. I’m really disappointed.”
The golden illusions flickered around in the void and dodged every attack.
Shen Tian’s laughter annoyed Er Tongtian, but he could not do anything.
The crowd was surprised by how fast Shen Tian was.
As a human,
Shen Tian, a mere Golden Body Perfected One human, was way too fast. His speed even surpassed Bi Xuanqing’s.
Bi Xuanqing was a Nirvana demon, and being fast was what the Black Snake race was proud of.
However, his speed was no match for Shen Tian!
With such speed, he was almost undefeatable.
“Stop hiding around, fight me properly! You are just a turtle hiding in a shell! Come fight me properly!” shouted Er Tongtian.
At the same time, the Turtle Prince felt very offended.
Why? What’s wrong with being a turtle! Did I offend you in any way?
If I could win against this reptile, I would kick his ass and teach him the power of turtles!
...
Swoosh!
Just when Er Tongtian was very angry, an azure whip slashed toward him.
“Don’t make me laugh. It doesn’t hurt me at all!”
Er Tongtian snorted after the whip hit him. He extended his hand and tried to grab the Divine Devouring Vine.
Then, the red Hurricane Lily on Divine Devouring Vine started to turn white.
The Divine Devouring Vine went through Er Tongtian’s hand, and the white flower became red again.
The azure Divine Devouring Vine smacked Er Tongtian’s face squarely.
Smack!
A slash mark was left on Er Tongtian’s face, and it looked hilarious.
Ouch!
Er Tongtian’s eyes were full of tears now!
“Wahhhhhh, damn you human! How dare you to destroy my handsome face!” Er Tongtian roared and hit the Divine Devouring Vine with his knife.
The void started cracking around the knife.
The Divine Devouring Vine let the knife hit it without dodging. However, it took no damage at all.
The red Hurricane Lily was now white in color again. Shen Tian quickly pulled the vine back and moved to Er Tongtian’s back.
He whipped with the vine again!
Smack!
Just as before, there was another mark on Er Tongtian’s face.
The two slashes made an ugly cross on Er Tongtian’s face.
Er Tongtian was shamed with anger.
He charged at Shen Tian and tried to fight him in close range.
However, Shen Tian had been training his speed from the start as he believed speed was everything in battle. Thus, Er Tongtian was way too slow for him. He could kite Er Tongtian easily.
Smack!
Smack, smack, smack!
Smack, smack, smack, smack!
Two more additional crosses were added on Er Tongtian’s face.
...
Qi Shaoxuan was getting more and more excited as he watched the battle. He felt very proud at the moment.
As for the ocean demons, they were utterly embarrassed. They could not bear to see how shameful Er Tongtian was.
As for Bi Xuanqing, his hatred toward Qi Shaoxuan was completely gone. Instead, he was even thankful to him.
It’s so fortunate that this Purple Mansion Saint stood in when I tried to challenge the Divine Firmament Saint just now.
Although I’ve lost the battle, Qi Shaoxuan took severe damage too.
It was not that embarrassing.
If I was kited like Er Tongtian, it would be a disaster!
He cannot touch Shen Tian at all!
Sss, it must be so painful!
Bi Xuanqing was secretly hoping for Er Tongtian to maintain this state so that nobody would talk about the battle he had just now.
The upcoming weeks’ gossip would be centered around Er Tongtian!
“Damn you! You forced me into this!” roared Er Tongtian, his eyes bloodshot.
Golden spots began to appear around his body—those were the divine acupoints he had.
This was a Nirvana demon’s real power. The Nirvana stage allowed the cultivators to consume a huge amount of energy and fill their divine acupoints.
This would give the cultivators huge power!
Fractured limbs could be reconnected if one had enough divine acupoints. Even if beheaded, one could still recover instantly!
It was said that some prodigies had countless divine acupoints, and no one could kill them at all.
Even if it was only a drop of blood left, they could still revive completely.
Compared to Qi Refinement cultivators, Godfiend practitioners had better survivability.
Unless the soul was destroyed completely, it was very hard to kill such a practitioner.
...
Although Er Tongtian could not reach the stage he could revive from a single drop of blood, he was considered a very powerful Nirvana practitioner.
He initially did not plan to use this power as he felt it would not be honorable even if he won with this power.
The opponent was already one level weaker than him, and he used his full strength to win? He would be a laughingstock!
However, Er Tongtian was badly beaten by Shen Tian.
It would not be a shame if he was shameless!
“Domain of Crocodile God!” Er Tongtian roared, and the divine acupoints on his body started to connect together.
The acupoints formed a Crocodile God avatar in the void.
He had controlled the entire void around them with the Crocodile God avatar.
“I have already locked the void around here. Let’s see what else you can—”
Smack!
Another whip mark appeared on Er Tongtian’s face.
The Domain of Crocodile God did not really help him at all...
“You are pushing your luck!” Er Tongtian roared again and converted the avatar into an armor.
He covered his head fully with many layers of this armor.
Whether it was useful was one thing—at least, he had concealed all the markings on his face.
At the same time, the divine acupoints in his hand glowed and grabbed the Divine Devouring Vine.
This time, the vine did not manage to escape.
“Hehe, I’ve got you!”
Er Tongtian used all his strength and held on to the Divine Devouring Vine.
At the same time, Er Tongtian’s tail extended to a few thousand feet and attacked Shen Tian.
Upon seeing that Er Tongtian’s tail was right in front of him, Shen Tian smiled.
The void behind Er Tongtian cracked, and another azure vine appeared!
Er Tongtian was restrained in an instant and was pulled toward Shen Tian.
It seemed like he had no way to struggle out.
He lost?
He lost so easily?
A commotion broke out. The crowd was shocked by how strong Shen Tian was.
Not only was he handsome, but he was also ridiculously powerful!
If possible, they would like to make Shen Tian their human partner too!
Just as everyone thought that the battle was over, the tables turned.
A cunning glint flashed in Er Tongtian’s eyes, and he roared again.
He burst with immense power!
The Divine Devouring Vine binding him snapped because of his strength.
At the same time, Er Tongtian transformed into a giant golden crocodile and pounced at Shen Tian.
His jaw had locked on Shen Tian.
The range was too close, and there was no time for Shen Tian to dodge!
“Brother Shen be careful! This is the Crocodile race’s ultimate technique, Death Spin!”
Ao Wu tried to remind Shen Tian, but he was too late. Er Tongtian was already in front of him.
This giant golden crocodile could easily swallow a small bungalow!
What was more important was that the void had been frozen at that moment, and most of the evading arts could not work.
Shen Tian did not dodge. Instead, golden light surrounded him, and he started to grow.
In a blink of an eye, he transformed into a golden giant of a few thousand feet too!
He grabbed Er Tongtian’s jaw firmly and stopped the attack.
Shen Tian moved a few steps back due to the impact.
The impact was so powerful that the surrounding rocks shattered into dust, and the ground cracked beneath them.
“You want to stop my Death Spin? Human! You made the wrong choice!”
Er Tongtian smirked, and his body started to spin rapidly.
Shen Tian’s body was forced to spin from the force of the crocodile’s body.
If Shen Tian did not let go in time, the torque would tear his arms into pieces.
...
Shen Tian remembered the encyclopedia he had read before in his precious life.
As everyone should know, a crocodile was very dangerous as it would start to spin around after it had bitten its prey.
Because of the centrifugal force, the spin could easily break the prey’s body and cause a nasty wound.
He did not expect that the Giant Crocodile race would use such a scientific attack in this cultivation world.
Although this crocodile attack was strong from Shen Tian’s understanding, it was easy to counter too.
He just had to spin in the same direction as the crocodile!
As long as he could spin faster than the crocodile, he could easily snap its head off!
Shen Tian believed that this method was very scientific too. Thus, he started spinning too. Both of them were spinning faster and faster. They were so fast that the audience would not even see them clearly anymore.
They were all shocked by how fast Er Tongtian was getting—this speed was more than doubled compared to two weeks ago!
Er Tongtian is indeed a talented demon!
He has our respect!
...
Ao Wu started to worry as he witnessed the insane spin.
He snorted, “Er Tongtian! Brother Shen is our Black Dragon Island’s most honorable guest! How dare you try to kill him!?”
Qi Shaoxuan held his Heaven’s Halberd tightly too.
If Er Tongtian did not stop soon, he would interfere with the battle and save Shen Tian no matter what the cost.
Even the demons started worrying about Shen Tian.
They knew the power of Death Spin.
Whoever got hit would end up in an unsightly situation.
It would be okay if the opponent was not good-looking.
However, it would be a waste if a handsome man like Shen Tian was killed by it.
Finally, the two of them stopped spinning.
Shen Tian sent the giant golden crocodile away. It stared into the blank space and stumbled two steps back before kneeling on the ground.
Ouuu! It started vomiting vigorously!
...
“What happened?”
Ao Wu looked at Er Tongtian with countless questions at the tip of his tongue.
The two of them reverted back to their normal size, and Shen Tian looked perfectly normal.
Ao Wu was even more puzzled.
Isn’t that Death Spin? Why does Brother Shen look like nothing happened?
I’ve never heard of any Giant Crocodile throw up after using Death Spin!
What exactly happened? Who’s the one winning?
As for Shen Tian, he was secretly dissing the encyclopedia he had read before.
What kind of nonsense is this? Spin with the crocodile? Then its head could snap off?
Ridiculous!
Er Tongtian’s Death Spin was super fast, and there was no way he could have countered that by spinning even faster!
He should spin the other way instead!
Shen Tian walked up to Er Tongtian and patted him. “Brother, are you okay?”
Er Tongtian stared at Shen Tian fiercely. “You think you’ve won? I’m not defe—”
Ouuu!
Before he could finish the sentence, he started vomiting again.
Shen Tian said, “I know you are not defeated. It’s just that I’m very curious about your Death Spin. Can you use it again, please?”
Use it again? Are you making fun of me?
Er Tongtian ground his teeth.
I will never forgive this human!
Since you are making fun of me, I’ll... I’ll just let you laugh... Ouuu!
I won’t spin again! Never!
Ouu! I will be the first crocodile to die from its own spinning if I use it again!
...
As Er Tongtian was throwing up, a comforting melody came from the City of Bliss.
Soon, a pleasant singing voice accompanied the melody. The song was sung in an ancient language, and it was rather mysterious.
Most people felt that their Spirit Qi was restoring while listening to the song.
All the negative feelings in their minds were dispersed too!
It was a song from heaven!
Everyone looked at the source of the song. It was the Heavenly Music Parlor’s top floor, where the Mermaid Princess, Yu Pianxian, lived.
The Mermaid Princess was very popular as she was considered to be the best princess of the century. She had many admirers from all of North Sea’s ocean races.
Many demons spent huge sums of money just to enjoy her singing.
Many even refused to eat just to think of her after seeing her face.
“Sister Pianxian is getting even better with her singing.”
Ao Wu’s eyes were wide open. “Brother Shen, I think she is trying to seduce you.”
Shen Tian, “...”
Qi Shaoxuan, “...”
Although I think you are right too, you are my contract partner! Can you side with me?
Why don’t you think she is trying to seduce me instead? Am I not good enough for her?
Ahhhh! Maybe I’m a fake Dragon Knight!
...
As the music continued to play, the tense atmosphere was getting better.
No one wanted to disturb this beautiful song.
A slim Mermaid came out of the Heavenly Music Parlor with a golden invitation in her hand.
Although she was wearing a veil, she could not hide her captivating eyes.
She approached Shen Tian and fixed her eyes on him.
“The Mermaid Princess invites the Divine Firmament Saint to her place.”
The song ended, and everyone heard what the Mermaid said.
They looked at Shen Tian with envious looks.
However, Shen Tian was not surprised at all. He smiled slightly instead.
Here she is! Hehe. I can make a fortune again!
