On the Land

Chen Luo suddenly summoned all the seafood to gather on land.

Who would dare disobey the Sea King’s request?

The seafood creatures were waiting for Chen Luo when they suddenly noticed that he appeared with a pale face and unsteady steps.

How could the Sea King be so weak?

Hong Deng exclaimed in surprise, "Sea King, what happened to you?"

The Sea King of the past was always full of energy and had a rosy complexion. Now, he looked as if he had rewarded himself a hundred times over.

Chen Luo spoke, his voice surprisingly hoarse.

"Are you loyal to me?"

Hong Deng was worried about Chen Luo’s condition, but Shu He Turtle was the first to speak.

"I am the most loyal to the Sea King. Anyone who tries to harm the Sea King will have to step over my dead body first."

Bei Bei, standing next to Chen Luo, said softly, "I will serve the Sea King for the rest of my life."

Hong Deng couldn't bother with jealousy, "Without the Sea King, there would be no me."

Although the seafood creatures were surprised by Chen Luo’s condition, they still expressed their loyalty.

"My loyalty to the Sea King is as bright as the sun and the moon."

"You are our king, and we are all your subjects."

Chen Luo appeared weak on the surface, but inwardly, he was laughing.

He would know who was truly loyal soon enough.

Chen Luo looked listless and said in a hoarse voice, "Among my servants, there is a traitor. She took advantage of me at a crucial moment, stole my divine power, snatched away my artifact, and even wants to hunt me down."

"If I’m not mistaken, she will be here soon. You must hold her back for me, give me an hour, and I will be able to recover my divine power."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice filled with icy killing intent rang out.

"Sea King, your death is at hand."

In the distance, a rapidly approaching figure appeared, clad in purple armor and wielding a purple sword that shimmered with an eerie light.

It was Hai Ji.

At this moment, if Jiang Chuxue hadn't helped to restrain Hai Ji, Chen Luo feared he wouldn't be her match.

Jiang Bao coldly shouted, "Who is this? How dare you be so presumptuous?"

One of the creatures, who had seen the sea god Bai Hao, said in shock, "I think I’ve seen that armor before, and those shoes too."

The seafood creatures thought, with so many King-level beings here, what was there to fear from just one person?

A group of zombies was watching from not far away, but there were only a few dozen of them.

There was no need for all the zombies to come; those who watched would naturally tell the others when they returned.

Hai Ji approached.

The seafood creatures saw Hai Ji, completely enveloped in armor.

A cold and grim aura emanated from within.

Although they felt some fear in their hearts, the seafood creatures didn't have a clear understanding of Hai Ji’s power at this point, so they weren’t too afraid.

A very small number of them rolled their eyes, wondering what they were thinking.

Hai Ji spoke with an icy tone that chilled to the bone, "I only seek to kill the Sea King. The rest of you, if you don't want to die, get out of my way."

Some of the seafood creatures turned to look at Chen Luo, who had a pale face and was panting.

Could it be that his divine power had really been stolen by this mysterious person?

Hong Deng twisted his face, trembling with anger, "How outrageous! Insulting the Sea King and wanting to kill him! Everyone, attack together and buy time for the Sea King to recover his divine power!"

Under Hong Deng’s command, all the seafood creatures gathered their attacks and launched them at Hai Ji.

For a moment, a dazzling array of attacks from various elements flew towards Hai Ji.

Nearly two hundred King-level beings attacking at once was quite a spectacular sight.

Next to Da Zhuang, Jing Ji felt his whole body go weak at the knees.

The sky was roaring, the earth was shaking, and space was twisting.

Even a Sovereign-level being would surely die if struck by so many attacks.

This was why the seafood creatures were still relatively calm.

But to everyone’s shock, the mysterious person was only pushed back a short distance by the shockwaves from the attacks.

Clanging and banging sounds rang out as the dust settled, revealing Hai Ji standing unharmed in the sky, without a single crack in her armor.

The seafood creatures were stunned.

"How is this possible?"

"It seems the Sea King’s divine power really was stolen. Otherwise, how could she have such defense? No wonder it's the Sea King’s artifact."

"Heh heh heh…"

Hai Ji chuckled coldly, waving the long sword in her hand. Several crescent-shaped, hundred-meter-long black sword energies shot toward the ground.

"Boom, boom, boom…"

The ground erupted in violent explosions.

Nearby seafood creatures were blown away, feeling a tightness in their chests.

And the unlucky Sea King was hit head-on, sent flying into the air, and then crashed to the ground, looking extremely disheveled.

It was the first time the seafood creatures had seen the Sea King in such a state.

Da Zhuang rolled his eyes, thinking, "Keep acting, keep acting. Do you think I don’t know you, big brother?"

Chen Luo was "painfully" speechless.

While the seafood creatures were still in shock, Hai Ji gathered a dark magic bullet and fired it at Chen Luo.

Chen Luo couldn’t dodge it.

Chen Luo never expected that, at the critical moment, Hong Deng would stand in front of him.

Hong Deng coughed up blood, seriously injured.

Hong Deng murmured, "I am the most loyal… I am the most capable…"

Chen Luo was stunned. "Hong Deng, you…"

Hai Ji clapped her hands. "Tsk, tsk, what a touching scene."

Hai Ji’s eyes suddenly turned cold. "Dark Barrier, Sea King, you will never escape."

Four extremely thick dark barriers appeared around them. Because the seafood creatures were gathered together, they were immediately trapped.

Chen Luo’s expression changed. He tried to encourage the seafood creatures, "Hold her back! I will recover my divine power soon."

"Her defense is strong, but her power is limited. At most, a few dozen will die, and we can resolve this crisis."

A few dozen will die?

It had to be said that some seafood creatures were very loyal and deeply trusted the Sea King.

A large octopus said, "Everyone, let's attack together!"

More than a hundred seafood creatures charged towards Hai Ji, wanting to restrain her. Even if they couldn’t break her armor, they could hold her down.

The majority of the remaining seafood creatures followed behind, but hesitantly, staying behind the others.

They were pretending to contribute.

The last of the seafood creatures stayed in place, examining the dark barrier around them, their eyes flashing.

Chen Luo narrowed his eyes, memorizing each of them.

Although Chen Luo directed this show, he still felt displeased seeing some of the seafood creatures' behavior at this critical moment.

Hai Ji laughed coldly, and a dozen dark eyes appeared, surrounding her.

These dark eyes were about ten meters tall, and their dark rays were far more terrifying than when she was at the King level.

A single volley would probably kill a King-level being.

The firepower was too intense, and the seafood creatures couldn't get close.

Jiang Bao roared, trying to approach Hai Ji under the cover of his companions, but Hai Ji punched him away.

The King level was far below the Sovereign level, but not to the point where a Sovereign could casually kill them.

To kill a King-level being, a Sovereign would still have to expend some effort.

Especially since Hai Ji didn't really want these loyal seafood creatures to die.

While the dark eyes attacked, Hai Ji continuously wielded her holy sword, the powerful sword energy repelling the seafood creatures.

One by one, the seafood creatures fell to the ground, seriously injured.

She was too strong. Even if they got close to Hai Ji, there was little they could do, especially since she had armor.

Even if a dark eye was destroyed, Hai Ji would quickly create another.

Hai Ji laughed wildly, growing more excited as she fought.

Slowly, she was moving from acting to fighting for real.

"Die, die, all of you die!"

Chen Luo was speechless. "Sister, restrain yourself a little."

At this point, based on Chen Luo’s observations, he could roughly determine which seafood creatures were truly risking their lives and which were pretending.

Some of the seafood creatures weren't even pretending and started attacking the dark barrier, trying to escape.

This included the usually gentle Bei Bei.

Hong Deng, supporting his injured body, roared, "Bei Bei, what are you doing?"

Bei Bei lowered her head and said nothing. "I just want to find someone to rely on. He's almost finished. Am I supposed to wait here and die with him?"

Chen Luo sighed. "Alas."

Shu He Turtle stealthily approached Chen Luo, revealing his hideous head. He grabbed the weak Chen Luo and lifted him up, shouting to Hai Ji in the air.

"I have captured the Sea King! I am willing to submit to you!"
