Chapter 360: Cunning Scorpion (18)_1
All the women were startled, and Chu Qin slightly raised his head, "Whoever it is, get out here!"
"Hmph, you bastards, having killed two Great Elders of the Holy Spirit Cult one after another, now perish here!" the voice continued.
Chu Qin didn’t waste any more words, his pupils turned faintly white. Unfortunately, although his clairvoyance remained, he could not use his spiritual power, and so for the moment, Chu Qin could not locate the source of the voice.
"If you’ve got the guts, come out and face me!" Bai Yingying roared angrily.
"Hmph, dealing with you lot doesn’t require me to personally take action!" the voice replied, "Let’s have the children of the Demon Emperor entertain you!"
The moment the voice fell, the sea water surrounding Chu Qin and the others began to churn, and one after another, massive sea soul beasts emerged from all around!
One could see that these sea soul beasts were shrouded in a red mist, somewhat similar to the scent emitted by the viscous poison source Chu Qin had acquired before.
Clearly, these sea soul beasts had all been corrupted by the poison of this mysterious Elder!
"Hell Rush!"
Zhu Zhuqing was the first to strike, darting out like lightning, splitting the closest sea soul beast into pieces. But in that very instant, an extremely dense gas spread from the body of that sea soul beast, causing Zhu Zhuqing to faint on the spot. Fortunately, Chu Qin was quick to act; he teleported to Zhu Zhuqing’s side, caught her, and used his Soul Power to disperse the gas!
"Be careful, these sea soul beasts all carry toxins!" Su Jindai’s eyebrows furrowed as she spoke. At this moment, Liu Erlong leaped up, and the soul rings under her feet lit up—purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red, red—nine soul rings in total.
Indeed, Liu Erlong, who was about to complete the ultimate seventh trial, had also advanced to the level of a Titled Douluo!
Immediately after, a super fiery dragon burst forth from the palm of Liu Erlong!
In a flash, Liu Erlong’s fiery dragon engulfed a giant sea soul beast and reduced it to ashes.
However, the toxins on the sea soul beast’s body still hadn’t burned off, and upon seeing this, Liu Erlong quickly retreated from that space.
"Hahaha, my poison cannot be resolved by ordinary attacks!" the Elder’s voice laughed, "Either you get eaten by these sea soul beasts without a bone left, or perish from my poison!"
"Then you, are far too confident in yourself!" Chu Qin said with a faint smile, then he made a slight movement with his palm.
In an astonishing moment, the sea suddenly parted, leaving only a single column of water around the spot where Chu Qin and his companions were. The sea water all around them was instantly drained away, and the sea soul beasts attacking them were pushed outwards by Chu Qin’s power, unable to get in no matter how hard they tried.
"What, you can actually control the power of the sea!" the mysterious Elder’s voice said, showing obvious surprise.
"There’s a lot you don’t know!" Chu Qin smirked slightly, his body floating in the air, "Sea Control Technique, Full Power!"
As soon as Chu Qin used this move, one after another, columns of water surged from the sea at a rapid pace, almost instantaneously covering all the surrounding space.
"Ah!" Under Chu Qin’s nearly omnipresent dense attack, the Holy Spirit Cult Disciples hiding in the dark were still hit. About dozens of people were struck by Chu Qin’s columns of water, directly thrust into the high sky!
The leader was an elder in a white robe with a somewhat thin build. The words spoken earlier had come from this Elder’s mouth.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp cold light shot from Chu Qin’s hand, the Frost Giant Sword directly aimed at the Elder’s body!
However, just in the nick of time!
A blue light descended in front of the Elder.
Within that blue light, a figure appeared. This person had sea blue hair and though his face looked somewhat aged, his body was very robust. His towering figure, over two meters tall, was encased in blue armor, making him look exceptionally sturdy!
What was most striking were the Elder’s eyes, one of which was blind!
With ease, the Elder reached out with his palm and Chu Qin’s Frost Giant Sword was blocked in front of him!
"Demon Emperor!" Upon seeing the blue-haired elder, the skinny Elder and the Holy Spirit Cult Disciples seemed as if they had grasped a lifeline!
"Has the Holy Spirit Cult already become this insignificant?" The elder known as the Demon Emperor said with a faint cold sneer.
"The soul beast aura of this person, how terrifying!" At this moment, Bai Xiuxiu, Wang Qiu’er and Xiaowu exclaimed in unison, alarmed.
"Soul beast aura?" Chu Qin and the ladies were all slightly taken aback.
"Lord Chu Qin, if I’m not mistaken, this is the close sea overlord that should have stayed in the Demon Whale Sea Area, the Deepsea Devil Whale King!" Bai Yingying said with a focused gaze.
"It seems to be the case!" Chu Qin said with joy rather than shock. He then remembered that the Deepsea Devil Whale King had another identity, the current Sect Hierarch of the Holy Spirit Cult, that is, the Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult!
No wonder the Holy Spirit Cult’s people would appear near the Soul Land’s sea area, most likely connected to the Deepsea Devil Whale King!
At this time, the gaze of the Deepsea Devil Whale King fell on Chu Qin, his remaining pupil dilated with a tinge of fear, "It’s you!"
The Deepsea Devil Whale King recognized Chu Qin at a glance, the human who had once struck him with a blow that had scared him away from the Demon Whale Sea Area.
"Deepsea Devil Whale King, I didn’t expect you to hide here!" Chu Qin said with an indifferent smile, "So, you are the Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult!"
"Hmph, a mere human, it was because I disdained to act against you last time, do you really think I was afraid of you?" the Deepsea Devil Whale King replied coldly, "Fine, last time you struck me with one sword and dared to pursue and kill my disciples of the Holy Spirit Cult, I will let you understand the power of the sea overlord!"
"That’s exactly what I wanted!" Chu Qin said with a light smile. He had already set his sights on the Deepsea Devil Whale King, this luscious piece of meat, the 990,000-Year soul beast’s Soul Ring and soul bone!
"little white, Er Long, protect Xiaowu and the others!" Chu Qin turned to Liu Erlong and Bai Yingying.
"Understood!" Both women nodded in unison.
Immediately, Chu Qin jumped off little white’s back, unfurled his eight-winged soul bone, summoned his Azure Dragon Martial Soul and arrived above and in front of the Deepsea Devil Whale King.
"Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart with glittering jade: First is strength! Second is speed, third is soul, fourth is control, fifth is attack, sixth is enhance, seventh is the true body of the Seven Treasure!" Ning Rongrong initiated her attribute enhancements without delay.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong had not only completely mastered the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart but also reached a soul power level of seventy-four!
In addition, Ning Rongrong’s sixth and seventh Soul Rings were hundred-thousand-year soul rings, which means her attribute enhancements were now fully comparable to the apex, Ning Fengzhi, the world’s number one support-class Soul Master at his peak!
Simultaneously, Ye Lingling also added the Dragon Blood Amplification to Chu Qin.
Just like Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling’s soul power was at level seventy-four!
With the support of these two Soul Masters, heralded as the world’s number one in the support class, Chu Qin’s Soul Power surged at this moment, and in an instant, his momentum reached the realm of an Ultimate Douluo!
"Ultimate Douluo, huh? Still not enough in the eyes of me!" the Deepsea Devil Whale King sneered dismissively.
No sooner had he spoken than he placed the palms of his hands inward, in front of his chest on either side.
The next second, as his soul power continuously poured out, a pitch-black void that emitted no light at all coalesced within his clasped hands.
When that black hole appeared, an extreme suction force spread from within the Deepsea Devil Whale King, the surrounding seawater was frantically sucked into it, and the air too began to spark with red flames, as if ignited by the massive energy.
"Abyss of the Demon!"
With a roar from the Deepsea Devil Whale King, countless black beams spread out from within the black hole, resembling chains sweeping horizontally towards Chu Qin!
Seeing this terrifying strike, Liu Erlong and Bai Yingying instinctively shielded Chu Qin’s companions, retreating to the rear!
"Fourth soul skill: Nine Dragons Chant of Blood!"
