Chapter 243 243: Infinite Tomb of Soldiers · Heaven Burying Slash!
Accompanied by Ji Huai's voice echoing through the air, a golden pillar of light shot up into the sky.
Countless weapons fell from the sky like rain, then plunged into the depths of the ocean.
"Servant, there is no place for you to take action here."
Dalaisai put away the water mirror he held in the sky and looked towards Ji Huai, not far away, clad in metallic armor, without the slightest bit of panic due to the latter's arrival.
Within the instance portal, he had already witnessed Ji Huai's Spirit Descent.
It had to be said that Ji Huai's Spirit Descent was unique and warranted his esteem.
But this was the ocean. How could those weapons falling from the sky threaten him, the Tide Demon Lord, as they sank into the sea?
As he lifted the White Bone Long Spear in his hand, countless sea demon beasts emerged beneath the surface at Dalaisai's feet.
The moment the White Bone Long Spear pointed at Ji Huai, the sea demon beasts summoned from the surrounding waters pounced towards Ji Huai in an instant, with dozens of them being Fifth Rank demon beasts alone.
"Play with these little things!"
Said Dalaisai, as his gaze returned to Qin Chuan.
In his view, it was this man who was equally matched with him that posed the real threat.
"Your strength is considerably greater than Daile described," said Dalaisai, raising the White Bone Long Spear, a surge of azure light erupting from his eyes, "If your power came from any other attribute, I might have faced the possibility of defeat."
"But unfortunately, your power comes from water."
"Half-demons have an affinity for attributes second only to the Crystal Clan. Using the same series of Extraordinary Power in front of a half-demon is a huge disadvantage that cannot be compensated for by tools or equipment."
"The warm-up ends here." Dalaisai's lips curled into a wicked smile, "Next, I'm going to thoroughly enjoy this battle."
"You sure talk a lot," said Qin Chuan, gripping the Dragon Slayer Blade tightly, his eyes flickering with a cold light.
He was about to strike when suddenly his expression changed, and he stepped back half a step.
"Infinite Tomb of Soldiers—"
"Clang—"
A clear ring of a blade resonated through the heavens and earth, instantly sweeping towards Dalaisai, the massive blade severing the world, the sharp intent that erupted in a flash split the ocean open, revealing a seabed hundreds of meters deep, while also cleaving a crack in the sky and the clouds.
Numerous sea demon beasts were sliced apart by the residual Sword Force, and at the end of the bloody path carved open, the armor-clad Ji Huai slowly lowered a blood-soaked hand, his expression exceptionally calm.
"Heaven Burying Slash!"
Dalaisai's expression changed instantly. His figure explosively retreated, narrowly dodging the slash, but his body was still lined with countless cuts in the wake of the Sword Force.
Just as he was about to take action, Qin Chuan had already appeared next to him like a phantom.
The full-force strike of the Dragon Slayer Blade heavily landed on the White Bone Long Spear that Dalaisai had hastily raised. In the next instant, a terrifying force exploded, blasting Dalaisai, who had been pushed back to the portal entrance by Ji Huai, into the instance portal!
Without any hesitation, Qin Chuan followed closely into the portal, confronting the gradually steadying figure of Dalaisai, moved forward in a few flashes, and raised the Dragon Slayer Blade high.
Just as he was about to initiate Time Stop, Qin Chuan's expression shifted slightly.
He decisively slashed down, watching Dalaisai, who was directly bisected into two halves and turned into two streams of water, his face growing somber.
In the void, the infuriating voice of Dalaisai echoed.
"This ends today, let's battle another day."
Without a second word, Qin Chuan stepped out of the instance portal, looking out at the calm battlefield outside the portal, he couldn't help but turn to Ji Huai, "Mr. Ji, did you see where that guy went?"
"I only saw him being chased by you into the portal," Ji Huai pressed one hand over his other, which had stopped bleeding, and his expression tensed upon hearing the question, "He's not in the portal?"
Qin Chuan shook his head slightly.
The Transcendents who were observing the battle from a distance had just arrived at this moment. After hearing the conversation between the two, they exchanged glances.
"All Transcendents with detection abilities, immediately scan the surroundings," Su Yuanshan ordered in a deep voice.
Moments later, everyone returned without success.
Qin Chuan's expression grew grave.
After discovering that the Daile who had entered the instance portal was merely a water-formed doppelgänger, he realized that the chances of finding the other party were extremely slim.
That guy, even being forced into the instance portal, was just a ruse.
"I'll go destroy the portal first, you all be careful in case Daile comes back with a vengeance outside the portal," Qin Chuan said, before turning and entering the portal once again.
Comparing finding Daile with destroying an instance portal that could elevate to S-rank at any moment, the latter was, of course, more important.
Ten minutes later, Qin Chuan's figure flashed and reappeared outside the instance portal, which rapidly collapsed and vanished.
The A-rank instance portal, Toxic Gas Lake, was successfully destroyed.
The Transcendents who witnessed this scene cheered, but when they thought of the now-traceless Daile, a persistent shadow loomed over their hearts.
-----------------
In a secluded town within the borders of The Sun Never Sets, a large number of Transcendents surrounded an opened portal, their faces taut, ready for battle.
After an unknown period of waiting, a graceful figure flashed into existence outside the portal.
Immediately after, the portal that had been open for several hours rapidly collapsed and disappeared.
The C-rank instance portal that had opened in The Sun Never Sets was successfully destroyed.
The guarding Transcendents quickly breathed a sigh of relief, and the crowd of onlookers excitedly shouted the name "Zefina."
Zefina, clad in light armor and wearing a short skirt, with her spirited golden short hair fluttering in the wind, smiled and waved at the crowd before sitting in an arriving Phantom car.
As soon as the car door closed, Oriel, hidden inside, pounced excitedly, her deep blue eyes sparkling like stars, "That was amazing!"
"Flaya, don't use this as an excuse to take advantage of me," Zefina pushed Oriel away, her expression a mix of resignation and amusement, "How's the situation over there?"
"A video was just sent back, do you want to see it?" Oriel said with a smile, picking up a laptop from next to her and placing it on her lap, "I haven't had a chance to see it myself; let's watch it together."
Zefina gestured for her to play it, and soon the footage of Qin Chuan's intense battle with Daile appeared before the two women.
The video ended after Daile was blasted into the instance portal.
In the car, Zefina and Oriel fell into silence.
"So, this is the power of Spirit Descent..." Longing appeared in Zefina's eyes as she watched, "Flaya, now you see how unwise it is to oppose him, right?"
Oriel shrank a little, "Who could have thought that guy would be so abnormally strong and able to counter my Talent."
"You made the same mistake as Erik, but fortunately, due to the uniqueness of your Talent, you were able to retreat unharmed," Zefina said as she stroked Oriel's smooth long hair, "Take the opportunity to extend an olive branch and see if we can coexist peacefully with him."
"Alright," Oriel agreed, hugging Zefina's arm and swiping on her phone for a moment before her expression turned to surprise, "This battle footage seems to have already been leaked online."
"The perspective is different from our video, and it's clearer than ours."
"Hey? It even captured Luo's face!"
Zefina looked at the video playing on Oriel's phone with interest.
"Now, things are getting more interesting."
