Chapter 209: It's My Turn to Take the Stage
Anyone with discerning eyes can see that there is something extraordinary about Hong Li possessing the Sea Monster Divine Ability.
This is not something that can be explained simply by luck or chance. The Sea Monster Divine Ability is a secret that is not passed down lightly, and it is the core of the Sea Monster heritage.
With such a Divine Ability, how could they possibly give it to an outsider?
Even if they did, it would definitely be with malicious intent.
However, based on these alone, it is not enough to define the Water Monster as colluding with the Sea Monster.
The relationship between the Sea Monster and the human race is a special one, both stable and fragile.
It is stable because both sides have equal strength, and the closer their strengths are, the more difficult it is for conflicts to arise, as both sides will handle their relationship with caution.
Under multiple constraints, the two sides will achieve a delicate balance.
But once this balance is broken, the consequences will be severe.
The human race and the Sea Monster Race are already the two strongest forces in this world. Once they start fighting, there will be no one to mediate.
Therefore, unless it reaches an unbearable point, both sides will maintain rational restraint, set aside disputes, and coexist peacefully.
For example, when Sea Monsters come ashore and secretly capture some humans as servants, or when human cultivators go into the sea to capture Merfolk.
In such minor frictions, both sides turn a blind eye.
Both sides condemn these lawless individuals together, and then go about their business as usual without causing any major disturbances.
But once the Sea Monsters interfere in the internal conflicts on land, then the problem becomes serious.
Are the Sea Monsters interfering in the land's internal conflicts to support puppet forces and gradually take over the world?
This kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable to the human race.
And precisely because it is unacceptable, it is particularly difficult to define.
Even if someone learns the Sea Monster Divine Ability, or if a Sea Monster actually appears on the battlefield, as long as they don't reveal their identity as a Sea Monster, they won't easily be defined as interfering in the internal conflicts.
Once defined, humans must retaliate, and at that point, the war will be uncontrollable.
That's why Red Carp Monster King is so confident.
As long as she controls herself, the human race has no way to deal with her.
Undoubtedly, the Sea Monster Race is the most powerful force in the world.
Even Miao Yin has to admit this.
But she can't bear the mockery of her own unique skills.
Is she, such an elegant fairy, here to be a stepping stone for others?
First, she was entangled by the Water Monster, and then her sound attack was broken. She has become nothing more than a background character, which only fuels Miao Yin's anger.
However, she is no match for Hong Li.
Hong Li is shameless and even more powerful.
Miao Yin is on the verge of despair. She can't win in a fight, nor can she out-insult Hong Li. Being humiliated in front of so many fellow cultivators makes her face turn red and white with anger.
"What's wrong? Have you run out of tricks? With just this little ability, you should surrender!"
In this battle, Red Carp Monster King has the upper hand in terms of momentum.
But in terms of actual results, the human race is leading.
The Water Monster's vine monster was struck by lightning summoned by Miao Yin and killed, while several humans on the human side were injured. They couldn't withstand the competition of the two sound attacks and suffered heavy injuries, but no one died.
However, the remaining fighting power of the Water Monster Race is still intact, while most of the Divine Ability experts on the Dragon River Alliance side have passed out.
Only a few experts from the major sects can still remain conscious, but they have lost their ability to fight.
Now, Hong Li doesn't even need to gather her subordinates. She alone can annihilate everyone present.
The condition is that Miao Yin doesn't run away.
So, Hong Li deliberately provoked her.
Sure enough, Miao Yin was infuriated and had no intention of running away.
However, her methods were almost exhausted, and she had consumed a lot of spiritual energy. Using the same methods again now would not only be undignified but also unsustainable.
In front of so many people, if she were to run away, where would it leave the face of the Celestial Melody Pavilion?
Even though she had very little true essence left in her body, she would fight to the end!
Zhang Chi looked at this scene and knew it was not good.
The more prestigious one's sect is, the stronger their sense of collective honor.
Although there are many ways to live, Miao Yin chose the most likely to result in death.
"This woman is too stubborn, we can't have her," Zhang Chi secretly evaluated, and then saw Long Yan also leap to Miao Yin's side with her sword.
During their sound attack battle earlier, only Long Yan managed to completely avoid it, and now she can fight again.
So, she stood beside Miao Yin.
Two stubborn girls.
At the same time, the Divine Ability experts who stayed behind in the Profound Heart Sect also rushed to support them, but it would still take some time.
And this little time could be fatal.
Although Long Yan has a treasure in her hand, she is still one realm lower than Hong Li, and there are plenty of ways for Hong Li to kill her.
"Do you want me to take action?"
"No need."
"What if they die?"
"Even if they really die, I won't let you take the risk. Your importance in my heart is not something they can compare to."
Zhang Chi's words were decisive and unquestionable.
Gu Youyou, upon hearing this, felt a mix of emotions.
She felt a little happy emotionally because Zhang Chi said she was the most important.
But with a slightly higher IQ, she felt that Zhang Chi was simply heartless.
That's the person who called you sister over and over again?
Whether it's about big sister or little sister, you don't care when something happens.
However, Zhang Chi's heartlessness and lack of righteousness have been going on for a while. It's just a matter of getting used to it, there's nothing much to comment on.
Gu Youyou thought for a moment and asked, "How can you be sure that they won't have any trouble?"
"I'm not sure about Miao Yin alone, but with Long Yan, there won't be any trouble for sure."
The Long family has only one descendant, Long Yi. How can he not keep a close eye on her?
It seems like she's venturing alone, but she probably has many treasures to protect herself.
Although Zhang Chi claimed to have successfully ambushed Long Yan before, it was because Long Yan had taken off her equipment and transformed into an ordinary person. Plus, Gu Youyou's attack methods were unpredictable, which led to the success.
Even if she succeeded, Zhang Chi might not really be able to kill Long Yan in the end.
Who knows if Long Yan has any life-saving items on her.
From this perspective, it's impossible for Long Yan to have any trouble.
Moreover, Long Yan has just become the acting palace master of the Dragon Transformation Palace. When the acting palace master goes out, wouldn't there be a strong Divine Ability expert by her side?
The Dragon Transformation Palace is not lacking capable people.
And since we haven't seen anyone from the Dragon Transformation Palace take action yet, it's obvious that they don't think there's any danger.
Since that's the case, what is there to worry about?
Gu Youyou probably focused her attention on watching the fight, which is why she didn't notice the followers of the Dragon Transformation Palace.
Zhang Chi deduced this purely, unlike Gu Youyou who relies on her strength to detect things.
He can't see anything, but he can be sure that Sixth Brother is squatting nearby.
Hong Li, on the other hand, doesn't care about these things. If she can kill Miao Yin, she can also kill the other ten or so Divine Ability experts who were stunned by the sound attack.
Normally, it would be impossible to trap so many experts. These experts are all diving in to save Long Yan and Miao Yin.
If she doesn't seize this opportunity, she may never encounter it again.
And cultivating a Divine Ability expert usually takes more than two hundred years. This battle can guarantee the glory of the Water Monster Race for two hundred years. How could she give up?
Even if she can tell that Long Yan is extraordinary, she has no fear in her heart.
"Since you're looking for death, I'll grant your wish!"
Behind Hong Li, a huge carp shadow appeared and slammed down towards Miao Yin and the others.
It seems like she wants to crush Miao Yin and Long Yan, but her real target is those who are injured and retreating or unconscious.
With this tail strike, at least half of the already injured Divine Ability experts will die.
But Long Yan and Miao Yin, the two tough kids, didn't expect Hong Li's diversionary tactic. One of them activated the Dragon Transformation and forcefully activated the treasure sword in her hand.
Both of them were giving it their all, blowing the sound of killing.
In this situation, neither of them intended to defend, but rather to attack to the end.
Truly stubborn to the extreme.
But they can also be considered partially at fault. Hong Li's main target of attack was not them, and they did not receive the greatest impact.
As the Divine Ability experts were about to die on the spot, the corners of Hong Li's mouth slightly curved upwards, but a figure suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
"Unmoving Bright King!"
After that person appeared, a ten-zhang tall giant shadow appeared behind them, raising its hand and gently lifting the tail of a carp.
The giant shadow trembled slightly but managed to catch this powerful strike.
The person who appeared on the battlefield was Wenren Li!
She had been hiding in Western State for a long time, unable to find a suitable opportunity to appear in public.
She knew very well that if she continued to hide, the people from the Wenren Family would eventually come knocking on her door.
It was dangerous for her to reveal herself, but if she gained enough fame, the Wenren Family would not dare to act recklessly.
However, she wanted to find the best timing to make everyone remember her.
Now was the perfect time.
Coincidentally, she also disliked the Red Carp Monster King, who could disrupt her plans. Her mood would improve as well.
Moreover, by helping others in a time of danger, how great of a favor was that?
Wenren Li, of course, would not suffer a loss. Her divine light shone upon the crowd, providing them with some simple treatment, before hastily saying, "Fellow Daoists, retreat quickly. I can't hold on for much longer."
She appeared as if she had a low cultivation level and was barely holding on. This would make people feel her efforts more deeply.
As Wenren Li had expected, those who were saved looked at her gratefully and quickly retreated.
At this moment, the reinforcements from the Profound Heart Sect also arrived, so Hong Li couldn't make any more moves.
"Who are you? Why are you ruining my plans!"
Hong Li almost gnashed her teeth. She had taken Long Yan's attack head-on and even Miao Yin's sonic kill, all to eliminate the other Divine Ability experts.
But the attack hit, and the person wasn't killed.
It made her so angry she wanted to vomit blood.
Hong Li did not recognize that Wenren Li was the person she had fought before. Today, Wenren Li wore a different mask, and the Divine Abilities she had used before were eerie and sinister, while today she was bathed in Buddha's light. How could she recognize her?
Wenren Li passionately declared, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I am a human cultivator. How can I allow a member of the Monster Race to act so arrogantly?
If you were openly dueling, it would be fine, but since you took advantage of others' unpreparedness to launch a sneak attack, then I, Wenren Li, have to intervene!"
Wenren Li's voice was as loud as Miao Yin's sonic attack.
Even those who couldn't see the scene could hear Wenren Li's voice. It was clear and pleasant, yet carried an air of authority.
Everyone couldn't help but be curious. Where did Wenren Li come from?
They had never heard of her before!
Hong Li was also very clever and realized that she had become a stepping stone for someone else's reputation. The flames of anger burned in her heart...
