This scene truly horrified the Merman! He instinctively wanted to withdraw his pressure, but a strange suction force held him firmly, seemingly… not even letting go of his spiritual energy!
The sudden abnormality finally caused his pupils to widen in shock. He struggled with all his might to break free from this power, but to no avail…
Until a moment later, the spiritual energy fluctuation abruptly stopped!
At this moment, the defensive formation had become a colossal ball of spiritual energy, filled with solidified spiritual power!
The next second, a colossal force surged forward, directly blasting away the Merman who was attached to the defensive formation…
Following this was a cold and powerful voice! With an unstoppable sharpness!
"Ice Freeze Thousand Miles!"
Instantly, an astonishingly vast white light roared out, rapidly spreading in all directions with absolute power. The sky-shattering frost, mixed with pure ice-element spiritual energy, sealed off all the Mermen! Including the Merman with the golden-green fish tail!
For the first time, the vast seabed was covered with a thick layer of ice, and a large area was enveloped! Freezing everything in that moment…
The Mermaid Queen was shocked! She looked at her in disbelief. This aura and absolute control over spiritual energy were beyond even her mother.
The Merman clan was shocked! They had thought that her frequent retreats during her fight with the Merman, with almost no room to retaliate, had already sealed her fate. They never expected her to have such a move! Instantly crushing the situation!
The Merman clan's eyes widened even further as they stared at her position, completely encased in ice! The expression of disbelief on their faces was frozen in horror…
Everything happened too suddenly. By the time Jin Bao'er landed, she was kneeling on the ground, her face pale! The life source from the Sprite Tree branches began to rapidly soothe her body, and the suffocating discomfort quickly subsided.
At this moment, she had to be grateful for Long Li Xing's foresight! The branches of the Sprite Ball were simply heaven-defying treasures!
Just then, a faint cracking sound reached her ears, startling Jin Bao'er into looking up abruptly. Her gaze fixed on the position of the Merman with the golden-green fish tail. The thick ice layer made it impossible for her to see the Merman inside…
But… the gradually cracking ice layer was undeniable!
"Retreat! Quick, retreat!"
In an instant, her expression changed. She turned and roared at the Mermaid clan, then quickly retreated and erected a defensive formation. All the Mermaids reacted quickly and dodged…
"BOOM!"
The next second, a deafening roar echoed, shaking the entire seabed. The thick ice layer was actually shattered by the impact! Countless sharp ice shards flew through the sea, then floated upwards…
When everything settled, where the Merman with the golden-green fish tail had been frozen, a man with a half-gold and half-green fish tail appeared. He was propped up by his tail, panting heavily on the ground, with several bloody marks on his body, looking utterly disheveled!
But that familiar handsome face still caused all the Mermaids to panic!
Jin Bao'er was also stunned! The power she had just exerted was almost one hundred percent of her strength. This person had the same cultivation as her, so logically, he should have been completely suppressed. But… in just a few minutes! He broke free?
Truly powerful!
A flash of excitement crossed her eyes! It would be even better if they could fight on land! After all, fighting in water was too inconvenient.
"As expected!"
A complex and impressed tone came from behind her. She turned to look at the Mermaid Queen, only to see her staring directly at the Merman opposite, her expression solemn.
"You are the child of my brother and that woman, right? The identical twins from back then!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Mermaids looked over in shock, and their expressions slowly changed…
Jin Bao'er: "..." So there's more to the story?
Perhaps sensing the confusion in Jin Bao'er's eyes, the Mermaid Queen explained!
"I once had a brother who fell in love with a human woman and they had twins. But this had never happened in the Merman clan before. According to prophecy, these two children might become enemies of the Merman clan in the future, so they were secretly executed…"
"However, one of the children was entirely human, while the other was half-Merman and half-Mermaid, with a truly bizarre appearance! Because they were unsure which one would become the enemy of the Merman clan in the future, both were secretly executed!"
However, how could the children who were secretly executed grow to this extent today? It was likely someone deliberately sent them away!
The Merman on the ground heard this and suddenly let out a laugh! His face was filled with sarcasm and killing intent.
"You're disappointed that I didn't die, aren't you? The noble Merman clan, as rumored, can't even defeat a half-breed like me! Hahaha! A bunch of losers!"
Jin Bao'er's body stiffened. Looking at that face, so familiar yet filled with extreme sarcasm… she finally understood why Lou Yun, at only a little over a hundred years old, was already a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!
That guy must have inherited the Merman clan's talent! But his body inherited his human mother's!
Otherwise, she could hardly imagine why these two people were so similar!
While she was pondering, the Merman had already stood up from the ground, his peak Soul Transformation stage pressure surging forth, carrying full killing intent and hatred…
However, although Jin Bao'er had recovered her strength under the nourishment of the Sprite Tree branches, fighting in water was extremely difficult! She found it hard to defeat this guy!
"Your Majesty… please retreat with your people first!"
The Mermaid Queen was startled. Noticing the determination in her eyes, she slowly nodded. She turned and instructed all the Mermaids to not retreat for now!
The Merman sneered at this scene, his disdain for the Merman clan deepening!
At this moment, a young man walked over and handed her the pink pearl from his neck… his eyes filled with worry and trust!
"This is a protective charm my mother gave me. I hope it can protect you too!"
After saying this, he shoved it into Jin Bao'er's hand and turned to run!
Jin Bao'er had no time to refuse. In her hand was a pearl the size of a baby's fist. Its pink color was beautiful, and it faintly exuded the aura of the Merman clan…
Although she never believed in protective charms, she now prayed that she could at least escape if she couldn't win later!
A large group of Mermaids passed through the transparent barrier into a dark area of the seabed, then quickly swam to the surface, revealing their heads. For them, who hadn't breathed fresh air or seen sunlight in nearly two hundred years, their emotions were complex!
The next second, the sea surface suddenly began to churn, as if some monster was wildly stirring the seabed, stirring up colossal waves!
They instantly thought in their minds that the two were fighting!
Only such powerful beings could cause the sea to be so vast and magnificent.
At the bottom of the sea…
Two figures fought fiercely, their battle inseparable. From time to time, astonishing balls of spiritual energy erupted, fiercely smashing into the surroundings of the magnificent palace, shattering the incredibly sturdy palace and emitting deafening roars!
