บท 415: Chapter 219 Deepsea Devil Whale King: Qin Xiao Cannot Deceive Me_2
Purple, black, red, golden—all were present.
But, Tang San knew that Qin Xiao's strength could not be judged by appearance alone.
"The first to strike gains the advantage; the last suffers the consequences!"
With this thought flashing through his mind, Tang San took the initiative to attack.
The Nine Absolutes of the Azure Sky!
Break!
With his move, he unleashed one of the most powerful attacks amongst the Nine Absolutes of the Azure Sky.
He raised both hands, lifting the Hao Tian Hammer, and a shadow of the Hao Tian Hammer as large as a mountain appeared behind him, smashing down towards Qin Xiao.
"Let's see whose hammer is the more formidable one," Tang San said.
Moved by the challenge, Qin Xiao's Soul Rings flickered. He reached out and grasped, and a giant hammer wrapped in golden thunder appeared in his hands.
Then, without any flourish, he swung the golden Thunder Hammer in his hands, striking it heavily against Tang San's Hao Tian Hammer.
Boom!
Their collision erupted with a deafening noise.
The dazzling light forced people to involuntarily shut their eyes rather than face it directly.
The shadow of the Sky God Hammer shattered, and the golden Thunder Hammer dissolved into a sky full of lightning.
Both Tang San and Qin Xiao were thrust back hundreds of meters by the force of the blow.
It seemed to all that the match was evenly met at this strike.
But, even if the world thought so, Tang San did not.
"I used a Divine Artifact," he thought.
"Yet Qin Xiao did not use any Divine Artifacts; he merely released a soul skill!"
Tang San's mind raced.
Suddenly, he was overwhelmed with a deep sense of defeat.
The two had just exchanged blows for the first time, yet the outcome was immediately apparent.
At the same time, he began to think about retreating. Since the victor had already been decided, he felt there was no need to persist any longer.
However, Qin Xiao had no intention of letting him go, and in the next moment, he charged forward, his body wrapped in golden thunder.
Between his palms, thunder kept gathering—undoubtedly, a direct hit would be earth-shattering.
"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"
Seeing this, Tang San repeatedly executed his techniques.
His body instantly split into over a dozen shadows, scattering in all directions, all to evade Qin Xiao.
Humph, quite slippery! Seeing this, Qin Xiao employed the art of teleporting, continuously smashing through the illusions.
In the face of absolute strength, all fancy tricks are worthless.
"Found you!"
Finally, Qin Xiao locked onto Tang San's true form and teleported without hesitation in front of him.
"Qin Xiao, do not go too far," Tang San said.
Even a man of clay has a limit to his patience, let alone Tang San, who had ascended to godhood.
Cornered by Qin Xiao's aggression, he unyieldingly launched a counterattack.
Boom boom boom!
The two unfolded a fierce duel.
On Sea God's Island, Poseissi's eyes widened as she tried hard to follow the contest between Tang San and Qin Xiao.
However, she realized her efforts were in vain because the speed of Qin Xiao and Tang San was simply too fast; no matter how hard she tried, she could not see clearly.
...
Devil Whale Sea Territory.
The Deepsea Devil Whale King emerged from the seabed, gazing distantly toward Sea God's Island and shuddering uncontrollably.
"He has become a god; the inheritor chosen by the Sea God has ascended so swiftly!"
He mumbled in disbelief.
Now thinking about what Qin Xiao had said earlier, he felt somewhat relieved.
Lucky that I was not rash. Otherwise, facing a successor to godhood, plus Poseissi of Sea God's Island, I might have bitten off more than I could chew.
No.
More precisely, had I acted impulsively and caused a disturbance on Sea God's Island, the Deepsea Devil Whale King supposed that would have been a one-way trip.
"Hey, something's not right."
"Another powerful aura has emerged in the direction of Sea God's Island, even clashing with the new Sea God?"
Unable to see specifically what was happening on Sea God's Island, the Deepsea Devil Whale King could only rely on his vague senses to judge.
Who could have such formidable strength?
It seemed Soul Land was indeed a place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Pondering this, he suddenly laughed.
This was great news, wonderful news.
"Who cares who it is? If someone can eliminate the newly-anointed Sea God, that would be avenging me," he thought.
"Hmm, even if we can't wipe out that guy from the Sea God, dealing a heavy blow would suffice. Afterwards, I'll sneak off to Sea God's Island, and in one gulp... swallow that crippled Sea God..."
The Deepsea Devil Whale King's heart had already begun to brim with endless daydreams.
The more he thought about it, the more enticing it seemed.
Not to mention, if he could swallow the Sea God and refine and absorb the godhood, he was one hundred percent certain he could ascend to godhood.
"Wait, something's not right. Why are they getting closer to me?"
The Deepsea Devil Whale King keenly sensed two powerful auras drawing nearer and nearer to him.
"No, I can't show myself anymore."
"To stick one's head out is to get shot, and humans are no trivial matter. If the two of them don't determine a victor and redirect their hatred toward me, that would be a problem."
Deeply aware of the stakes involved, the Deepsea Devil Whale King immediately decided to retreat.
With a violent flick of his tail, his massive head dove down, burrowing directly into the sea.
At the same time, he couldn't help but mumble in his heart, wondering when the Plane Will would arrange for him to have a feast in the Demonic Plane.
Hmph.
When I get back, I'll swallow all of you gods.
However, what the Deepsea Devil Whale King didn't know was that Qin Xiao, the spokesperson for the Plane Will he trusted so implicitly, had already arrived in the Devil Whale Sea Territory.
Even less could he imagine that the successor of the Sea God he so desperately wanted to swallow was Qin Xiao himself.
...
"Ptooey."
"Bad luck, the Hao Tian Clan's secret methods are still so powerful even after becoming a god."
Above the sea territory, Qin Xiao couldn't help but spit.
After Tang San used Ring Explosion, his combat power skyrocketed by several times in an instant.
Having repelled Qin Xiao, he again deployed the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, a Tang Sect technique, instantly creating hundreds of illusions, scattering in all directions.
That's right.
He was running away...
And he wasn't dragging his feet at all.
"You might escape for now but not forever. Next time we meet, I will surely kill you," Qin Xiao said coldly to the void.
Of course, this was no vain boast.
After all, he hadn't inherited the position of Sea God nor did he possess any of Sea God's memories. The power of the Sea God was still somewhat unfamiliar to him, a bit clunky to use.
But it wouldn't take long for Qin Xiao to get used to it, and his strength would surely surge.
"Why not take care of the Deepsea Devil Whale King while I'm at it?"
Looking at the sea below, Qin Xiao murmured to himself.
But after some thought, he decided to give up on this idea for now.
He believed that Tang San, having fled, would become even more cautious. Chances are he might pull another stunt, possibly opening up other channels between the Demonic Plane and Soul Land again, which would undoubtedly lead to massive suffering.
Qin Xiao was no saint, nor did he have any intention of protecting Soul Land.
But there were many people in this world that he cared about, and he couldn't let anything happen to them.
"Let's leave it for now. After all, the Deepsea Devil Whale King is not a weak combatant, and he has reached an agreement with me, willing to be at my command. The free fighter can be spared for now," he decided.
"After I deal with the affairs of Sea God's Island, I'll find Plane Will again and ask for some leaves to transport more people into the Demonic Plane."
With this in mind, Qin Xiao withdrew his gaze and returned to Sea God's Island.
After all, he was now considered the Sea God, capable of commanding countless members of the Sea Tribe and Sea Soul Masters. If Tang San really intended to wage a war between planes, these Sea Tribe members and Sea Soul Masters would also be a force to reckon with.
...
Splash.
Not long after Qin Xiao left, large waves surged again on the sea surface.
The Deepsea Devil Whale King, over two hundred meters long, resurfaced, drawing in a sharp breath.
"Sss..."
"Is this the taste of a god? Delightful!"
His eyes showed intoxication.
He even fantasized about what it would be like to devour the real Sea God. Would it be the ultimate crunch?
But, as time went on, something felt off to him, "Why does the lingering scent of the Sea God seem familiar?
It feels like I've encountered it somewhere before..."
The Deepsea Devil Whale King tried hard to recall, and after a moment, an image surfaced in his mind.
It was none other than Qin Xiao.
"Him?"
"No, that's impossible. He's the vessel for the Plane Will, how could he be the new Sea God? The two are in conflict at every turn!"
The Deepsea Devil Whale King refused to accept this reality.
Or rather, he was thoroughly convinced by the tale Qin Xiao had spun previously.
