Shi Lingling’s startled cry made Ling Feng pause; he turned his head and glanced at her.

Seeing the fear in the girl’s eyes, Ling Feng knew those Royal Warriors must be very formidable.

Sure enough, at this moment the Lord of the Blue Sea also spoke, turning his head to Ling Feng and saying, "In the end we still alerted Lv Wujang. These soldiers are all his elite subordinates, they’ve come straight for us!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Alright then, since that’s the case, we can only face them head‑on!"

Ling Feng said, then looked at those few hundred soldiers and shouted, "Hey, you’ve been waiting here a long time, huh?"

"Swoosh!"

Just as he finished asking, a flash of white light streaked across the sky, and a figure dropped from above, landing in front of Ling Feng.

The newcomer was a man in a tight black outfit, with a lean face and sharp eyes.

After landing, he looked over Ling Feng and Amaterasu’s outfits, then asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Could it be you’re not from my Blue Sea Continent?"

"That’s right, we came from another world!"

Ling Feng nodded, then looked at him and asked, "You’ve made such a big show coming here—got business with me?"

"The one who was mining Tiger Crystal Stone before, and drove off the Guardians—that was you, right?" the other man asked.

"Yeah."

Ling Feng nodded, then grinned and said, "So? You guys came to settle the score with me?"

"To dare invade my Blue Sea Continent—no matter who you are, you must die!"

The man in black nodded, a cold gleam flashing through his eyes. "Prepare to die!"

As soon as the words fell, a gleaming long blade appeared in his palm and came chopping straight at Ling Feng’s face!

"You really just start swinging, huh!"

Ling Feng let out a cold snort and immediately pulled out Kai Tian to counterattack!

"Boom!"

Their weapons crashed together, producing a thunderous bang!

Then Ling Feng was surprised to find that the other party’s weapon actually hadn’t shattered!

With how fierce Kai Tian was, that was practically impossible!

At the same time he felt the tiger’s mouth of his hand go slightly numb, clearly sensing the other man’s strength.

This guy’s cultivation wasn’t low—at least above the Nascent Soul Realm, higher than him!

The reason they’d fought to a draw was only because of Ling Feng’s special constitution. If it had been someone else of the same realm, even if they didn’t get chopped to death, this one strike would have been enough to shake them into vomiting blood.

The two of them both took a step back. Ling Feng narrowed his eyes, while the man opposite just let out a derisive snort. "I thought you’d be something impressive. So this is all you’ve got?"

As soon as he finished, the long blade in his hand came hacking over again!

But right then, a crisp shout rang out. Amaterasu’s figure appeared in front of Ling Feng, blocking him as she said, "I haven’t even made a move since I got here. Leave this one to me!"

With that, her body flared with a burst of white light!

"You—!"

The man in black froze, immediately halting his steps.

The divine might radiating from Amaterasu’s entire body stirred a surge of fear in his heart, and his gaze instantly flickered.

But Amaterasu didn’t give him a chance. White light flashed in her palm as she suddenly reached out and grabbed toward him!

"Not good!"

The man cried out, his body instantly arching backward to fall, then he rolled across the ground in a flurry, tumbling until he was over ten meters away.

After that, he stood up and shouted, "All of you, attack together!"

"Courting death!"

Seeing that the other side still refused to give up, Amaterasu barked angrily and her body slowly rose into the air.

When the few hundred soldiers charged in with blades raised, her long hair suddenly flew out, and a powerful radiance burst from her entire body, shining so bright the men couldn’t even open their eyes.

Cries of alarm erupted in the crowd, the soldiers all clutching their eyes, no longer in any state to attack.

But Amaterasu had clearly held back; she wasn’t trying to kill these people. So after the flash of intense light, the soldiers all fell to the ground, wailing in pain, yet not a single one of them died.

"There’s nothing left for us to do here. I don’t want to hurt more innocents. Withdraw."

Amaterasu hovered in midair and spoke calmly.

In that moment she truly looked like a descending goddess—her holy face devoid of any emotion as she stared blankly at the beings on the ground.

Unexpectedly, even after she’d displayed enough power to cow them, that man in black still stood up, rubbed his eyes, and said, "You want us to retreat? No way. Today, you must die!"

"You can’t even open your eyes and you’re still talking big?"

Ling Feng let out a cold laugh and asked mockingly.

"We might be done, but there’s someone stronger!"

The man shouted, groped at his waist, pulled out some kind of object, then yanked the cord on its tail. A burst of firelight exploded!

A streak of fire shot straight into the sky, then burst in midair into a massive fireball.

Ling Feng watched with interest, chuckled, and asked, "What, you’re calling in reinforcements?"

"You’ll be laughing for about two seconds more!"

The man in black still couldn’t clearly see his surroundings, squinting as he spoke.

"Fine, at worst you call Lv Wujang over."

Ling Feng shrugged, looking completely unconcerned.

But he’d barely finished speaking when the dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed. A beam of green light flashed from the distance and in the blink of an eye was already close!

Ling Feng’s heart stirred. Don’t tell me that guy really came himself?

He turned to look at the Lord of the Blue Sea and discovered there wasn’t the slightest hint of excitement on the latter’s face. Ling Feng couldn’t help asking, "Why are you so calm?"

"That’s not him, just his deputy." The Lord of the Blue Sea said flatly.

"No wonder."

Ling Feng nodded and watched as that green light landed, turning into a man with a deathly pale face.

The man’s gaze was gloomy as he walked over at an unhurried pace. He didn’t even look at the soldiers on the ground, instead staring straight at Ling Feng. "You’ve got some nerve."

"Cut the nonsense. You here to kill me too?" Ling Feng asked.

"You really think our Blue Sea Continent has no one?"

The pale‑faced man narrowed his eyes and flipped his palm. The soldiers on the ground suddenly vanished, as if he had taken them into some place.

Only the man himself was left on the scene. Seeing this, Ling Feng seemed to understand and laughed. "Looks like your strength’s not bad. You can unleash some seriously destructive attacks—otherwise you wouldn’t have pulled everyone out of the way."

"That’s one of the last things you’ll get to say in this world."

The pale‑faced man gave a cold laugh, and a white radiance suddenly surged in his palm.

"Careful, this guy’s attacks are very strong!"

The Lord of the Blue Sea tossed out a warning, then immediately grabbed Shi Lingling’s hand and entered the Jade Token Space.

At the same time, the Ghost Dragon’s massive body suddenly manifested!

The pale‑faced man froze; the white light in his palm instantly smashed down toward its head!

"Boom!"

The Ghost Dragon’s dragonflame spewed from its mouth and collided with that white light, and an extremely powerful shockwave erupted on the spot!

Deafening noise, violent winds—the stones on the ground were all shaken up and blasted away by the shockwave.

The range of this shockwave was immense, spreading out for nearly a full kilometer.

Even Ling Feng was nearly blown away by it.

A moment later, Ling Feng opened his eyes and saw that the Ghost Dragon’s figure was nowhere to be found in front of him. He instantly flew into a rage!
