Chapter 848: Chapter 636: The Death of Tu Ji
“No, squad leader, this is too dangerous!!” Cang Xu heard the Fishman youth wanting to linger and immediately blurted out a denial without thinking.
But the Fishman youth’s attitude was far more resolute than his.
“Cang Xu, you know me.”
“I could never abandon Xiao Guai!”
“He calls me Dad, and he’s still waiting for me there.”
“Ask yourself, which father can easily give up their child?”
Cang Xu understood the Fishman youth very well; he had no doubt about the Fishman youth’s resolute determination at this moment.
But he couldn’t yield!
So, he earnestly advised, “Squad leader, staying here is a fight for life and death.”
“Now, there are two Holy Domain-level formidable enemies launching a raid. Zhou Zhang alone finds it difficult to resist, and even with the Snow Pear Octopus Holy Beast, it cannot change the situation.”
“The reason is simple, this is the stronghold of the Charming Blue Sect, and they will inevitably lose the initiative while defending.”
“Even if we assume, for arguments’ sake, that the two Holy Domain opponents don’t break in, it’s fine. They only need to keep active on the perimeter to cause Zhou Zhang immense trouble, firmly pinning down her attention.”
“Also, now that the Ocean Nest is destroyed, Mei Lan god’s arrangement is no longer effective. Staying here, you might face Holy Domain-level scrutiny.”
“Even if those two hostile Holy Domains can’t make a strike here, they can conduct remote attacks.”
“The recent strike has already sufficiently demonstrated the severity of the situation!”
“The Ocean Nest has now become the most dangerous perilous land!”
The Fishman youth shook his head: “Xiao Guai…”
Cang Xu intervened: “Sir, sometimes we must make necessary choices and sacrifices.”
“You are our squad leader. If you die trying to rescue Xiao Guai, what will happen to the rest of us?”
Cang Xu had hit upon the Fishman youth’s concerns.
The youth was indeed worried about this aspect.
But after thinking for a moment, the Fishman youth still shook his head, staring deeply at Cang Xu, “Cang Xu, I remember you also have a son. If today you were in my position, and your son was in Xiao Guai’s situation, what would you do?”
Cang Xu: “…”
The Fishman youth’s words rendered him speechless.
The Fishman youth smiled and patted his shoulder, his smile full of comfort, but his tone became very firm: “Now I command you, Cang Xu!”
“Continue piloting the Deep Sea Monster Fish, escape first, and always be ready to pick me up.”
“Once I resolve the issue with Xiao Guai, I’ll leave this place.”
Cang Xu’s face darkened, and he resolutely refused: “Sir, if you do not leave, how could I escape? Let me stay with you…”
“No, if I fall, someone needs to take care of the aftermath. You are the only candidate.”
Sighing deeply, the Fishman youth continued, “I know this isn’t a rational decision.”
“But I can’t do it!”
“I would rather risk myself than abandon Xiao Guai without any effort!”
“You’ve already done so much for him. Without you, he wouldn’t have escaped the Mysterious Monster Island.” Cang Xu sighed and vowed, “I will absolutely not sail away with the ship.”
“The Deep Sea Monster Fish, although only Golden Level, can still resist some against Holy Domain attacks.”
“It can increase your survival chance, sir.”
“I would rather commit suicide now than sail away with the Deep Sea Monster Fish.”
The Fishman youth opened his mouth to speak, but Cang Xu immediately stopped him: “Squad leader!”
“Just like you’re determined to rescue Xiao Guai, my resolve is the same as yours.”
“I heed your command, and I will depart now.”
“Time is of the essence, Xiao Guai’s situation demands haste. Sir, don’t delay any longer!”
The two communicated not by speaking but through spiritual waves.
The principle can be referenced to duelists’ remote communication, except duelists must rely on the God of Duels, rely on Anqiu, and expend their Divine Grace, Divine Power to achieve this.
Fishman youth and Cang Xu, facing each other, needed not expend these.
Spiritual communication was very convenient; although they exchanged many words, in reality, only a moment had passed.
Cang Xu swiftly left the ship alone, while the Fishman youth ordered the Tower Spirit to keep sailing the Deep Sea Monster Fish further in. He himself immediately entered the prayer chamber, with an extremely anxious and tense heart, conducted another remote communication.
Divine Arts – Perceive Believers.
Divine Arts – Divine Power Channel.
Divine Arts – Divine Artifact Control.
Divine Arts – Plotted Deception Technique.
Divine Arts – Distortion Filter!
Using all five Divine Arts at once put a tremendous mental burden on him, and the consumption of both Divine Power and Spirit aspects was exceptionally severe.
The Fishman youth didn’t know how long he could hold out, he just put all his might into striving!
Da Dou and others were in extremely precarious situations!
The big guy couldn’t sense the Fishman youth’s gaze, anguishing inwardly.
The Earth Element Main God’s Divine Art formed a gigantic earth spike mid-air, crashing down towards the big guy!
But in Tu Ji’s perception, it was Hong Zhu who became a target for the massive earth spike.
“No, this is my only clue!!!” Tu Ji yelled frantically.
He paid such a huge price to capture Hong Zhu, only to end up failing?
He couldn’t accept it!
He was a member of the Blood Light Sanction Court, with unwavering faith, ever since he joined, devoting himself wholeheartedly, ignoring the risk to his life, fully pursuing Undead Mages, never showing a bit of slack, never hesitating a bit.
Just now, he noticed the gaze of the Earth Element Main God, indeed hesitated. But this hesitation was merely based on the thought – would retreating in time be more beneficial for me to hunt the Undead Mage?
Upon consideration, he decided it wasn’t.
So, he still joined the battle, willing to amputate and self-destruct to rendezvous with Da Dou.
Now, facing the personal strike of the Earth Element Main God, his emotions surged within him, never put death to heart, directly leaping up.
He leapt into mid-air, his body forming a large X, head held high and chest out, blocking above “Hong Zhu” (the big guy).
Boom!
The next moment, the earth spikes fell, but did not hit Tu Ji, landing instead beside him.
Instantly, the ground shook like an earthquake, the violent shockwave causing the earth to roll like massive waves. Nearby, Da Dou, the big guy, and others were all fiercely tossed away.
The Main God of Earth Elementals once again surged Divine Power, forming a series of Earth Spikes aimed at the big guy.
Tu Ji fell abruptly, landing in front of “Hong Zhu” (the big guy).
The sharp Earth Spikes halted abruptly, the tip of the nearest spike only a centimeter away from Tu Ji’s nose.
The entire audience was shocked.
Tu Ji was drenched in sweat, his face covered in blood, looking increasingly insane: “Hahaha.”
“I’m from the Blood Light Sanction Court, and this action is to hunt down the Undead Mage!”
“To eradicate the Undead Mages, nearly all gods have signed an alliance. Collaborative effort is a basic provision, even for the God of Earth Elementals, killing me would be considered breaking the alliance!”
Tu Ji shouted, explaining and encouraging himself simultaneously.
After saying this, he glared fiercely at the surrounding Golden Level Earth Element Bodies.
These Earth Element Bodies had already surrounded them again.
Their expressions were complicated.
Tu Ji, this madman, actually risked his life to block the line of fire for a clue.
Yet, he succeeded!
The Main God of Earth Elementals actually stopped attacking.
God, this world is too crazy!
But the next moment.
Whoosh.
The Earth Spike closest to Tu Ji suddenly shot forward aggressively.
Tu Ji opened his mouth in laughter, without even a chance to react, it was instantly filled by the Earth Spike.
The sharp Earth Spike protruded from the back of his head.
As Tu Ji died, his entire body’s fighting energy burst out, but to no avail.
One just saw a flash of golden fighting spirit, easily suppressed by the immense Divine Power of the Main God of Earth Elementals!
Tu Ji—perished!
The battlefield fell silent, everyone once again dumbstruck.
The Divine Power of the Earth Elementals slowly dispersed, the Earth Element Bodies awoke as if from a dream, letting out deafening cheers.
In their view: Tu Ji, this madman, was easily crushed by their own deity.
In the eyes of Da Dou and the others: Tu Ji was too crazy, actually confronting a Main God directly! Even with an alliance, what does it matter to a Main God, breaking it once?
So, Tu Ji died!
Like a small ant, with no chance to resist at all.
And in the eyes of the Main God of Earth Elementals, who he killed was not Tu Ji, but the big guy!
With a sense of satisfaction, the Main God of Earth Elementals gradually retracted its Divine Power.
In the Deep Sea Monster Fish, the Fishman youth was exhausted to the point of collapse.
He knelt on the floor, his hands also supporting him, only this way could he remain upright.
To maintain the previous five divine colors, the Fishman youth broke through his limits, draining himself dry.
His entire body ached, his vision blurred, and his mind throbbed with pain!
The “Mermaid’s Fairy Tale,” the Divine Artifact, was already thrown aside. The Pearl Bubble inside the shell only had five or six left!
To suppress an existence like the Main God of Earth Elementals, the “Mermaid’s Fairy Tale” was also drained. Almost all the Pearl Bubbles collected before were consumed!
“I-I succeeded!”
“I succeeded…” An incomparable sense of achievement filled the Fishman youth, making his body and mind float, exhilarated.
“But I still have to hold on, little guy is still surrounded by the Earth Element Body army!”
The Fishman youth refocused his attention, casting his gaze concernedly.
After Tu Ji’s death, the Earth Element army’s morale soared, indeed continuing to besiege Da Dou and the others.
“What to do?”
“I’m barely maintaining Believer Perception and Divine Power channeling now, can’t use a third Divine Art!”
Ice-cold despair filled the Fishman youth’s heart.
The big guy was placed in the enemy’s fulcrum, with no external assistance!
On the other side, after leaving the Deep Sea Monster Fish, Cang Xu was escaping with all his might.
“Ship ghost?!” Along the way, he unexpectedly discovered the ship ghost.
The ship ghost was sealed by Zhou Zhang, like an ordinary person.
And a sea beast, used as a sacrifice, had broken free, in a frenzy, about to crush the ship ghost.
Cang Xu’s heart moved, immediately casting an Undead Magic to save the ship ghost.
“Quick, come with me, Master Ship Ghost.” Cang Xu grabbed the ship ghost’s arm, ready to continue fleeing.
The ship ghost showed slight surprise, but with a smile stopped him: “A bit unexpected, yet not really.”
“In any case, I’m very glad.”
Cang Xu sighed: “Let’s not talk about this now, Master Ship Ghost.”
“We must leave quickly.”
“No, there’s no need.” The ship ghost remained unhurried, “I’m now quite interested in the Ocean Nest. If you dare, send me there.”
Cang Xu: “?!
He stared at the ship ghost, disbelief shaking his body and mind.
