Ji De didn’t expect Lan Xiaoni to be able to escape from the grasp of its spatial seal. As a feeling of astonishment washed over it, the little blue fish had already crashed into its body.

Boom!

The tremendous force of impact even caused the void to shudder.

A devastating air stream erupted as the fish crashed into Ji De’s back.

Ji De’s back caved in as a result of the strike, and its bones and flesh tore loudly as it fell toward Lan Xiaoni. A mouthful of green blood spluttered from its mouth.

Although her attack had hit it, there was no hint of satisfaction on Lan Xiaoni’s face.

She had initially planned on penetrating Ji De’s body with a single strike. However, she didn’t anticipate that the little blue fish’s full-power strike would only cause Ji De some minor injuries.

One had to realize, it was a rare chance to catch Ji De off guard and defenseless.

Not only was Ji De not furious after being hit by Lan Xiaoni’s attack, it even started to chortle heartily. “Such shrewd attacks. I like it! However… my strength is beyond your wildest imaginations. You’ll never be able to defeat me. How about you surrender!”

After saying this, Ji De took the initiative and charged toward Lan Xiaoni!

Lan Xiaoni glowered at Ji De with her beautiful eyes. She waved her hands, and the little blue fish flew back to protect her. She kept retreating as she fought, and she was defending more than she was attacking. It was clear that she was already on the back foot.

An Lin, who was watching from behind the barrier, was rendered speechless by this sight.

This boss is blatantly trying to seize Lan Xiaoni; this has got to be illegal, right? Isn’t it going to consider the spectators’ feelings?

“Hahaha… Stop resisting! If you want to resist, then resist on the bed!”

Ji De brandished its silver harpoon, and every strike that it launched sent a hundred-meter long harpoon projection toward Lan Xiaoni.

Lan Xiaoni was indeed powerful, and she also possessed immortal tools such as the little blue fish and white ball. However, it was still a massive struggle for her to fight against a supreme being of the Return to Void Stage.

The battle hadn’t been going for long, yet she was already in an extremely precarious situation. There were two gashes on her slender arms, and her sleek blue fishtail had also been punctured by Ji De’s harpoon.

On the other hand, Ji De became increasingly ferocious as it fought. Its dominance over Lan Xiaoni was especially clear.

Detestable! I definitely can’t lose here!

This is my best opportunity; I definitely can’t lose!

A ferocious look appeared on Lan Xiaoni’s face as she retreated, and she viciously cut open her wrist.

No blood dripped down. Rather, her blood was manipulated by some mysterious force, and it formed a helix around her arms.

“Spirit Fish Divine Blood Mystic Technique—Dance of the Fish Dragon!”

Boom!

An extremely powerful crimson glow streaked out from Lan Xiaoni’s arm.

Even An Lin’s expression changed when he sensed the overwhelming power of this attack.

Lan Xiaoni flapped her tail, and her body advanced rather than retreated. Her right hand was clenched into a fist, and it looked as though a crimson divine dragon had coiled around her arm. Then, she threw a dragon-like punch!

A deafening dragon roar reverberated through the skies, and its boundless divine might caused heaven and earth to shudder.

In fact, even the void was fractured by the devastating might of the fist.

Ji De’s expression changed drastically, and it held its arms up to defend against Lan Xiaoni’s attack.

Boom!

A terrifying collision erupted. At the same time, some peculiar hiss and rupturing noise also sounded.

An Lin was astounded. “She’s a member of the Spirit Fish Clan, yet she’s actually able to use such pure dragon power!”

Ji De howled in pain. Its extremely sturdy arms had been shattered by Lan Xiaoni’s devastating punch, and its body was also sent flying backward.

Boom!

Ji De’s backward momentum was only stopped when it smashed into its own throne.

“Did I succeed?”

After using a mystic technique, Lan Xiaoni’s aura became especially weak. Her breathing was labored, and she stared intently at where Ji De had landed.

“Cough…”

After sputtering out a few mouthfuls of blood, Ji De stood up with great difficulty.

Its arms had already disappeared. However, its body squirmed around for a bit, and its dark-gold figure gradually shrunk down in size. At the same time, two new arms slowly grew out of its body.

Just like a malleable ball of dough, Ji De squished two arms out from its “ball of dough” body.

“Phew, that was dangerous. If you managed to hit my heart, I truly might have died.” Ji De glanced at Lan Xiaoni, and its aura started to increase drastically again. By the looks of it, it was still able to battle.

“How can this be…”

Lan Xiaoni stumbled backward, and a look of despair fell across her pale face.

Her Dance of the Fish Dragon technique had exhausted almost all of her energy. However, it was still unable to kill Ji De. How was she supposed to keep fighting?

“What’s wrong? Do you want to continue fighting? I’m ready when you are…

“It’s also fine if you don’t want to fight. You can choose to ‘play’ with me instead. Hehehe…”

A sinister smile stretched across Ji De’s face, and the tentacles on its chin swept through the void nimbly. As if teasing her, it even hooked its tentacles at Lan Xiaoni.

Lan Xiaoni’s petite body shuddered. Disgust, terror, helplessness…

All kinds of negative emotions started flooding into her mind.

For some reason, that figure suddenly drifted into her mind at this moment. That unforgettable figure that had given her a strong sense of security…

“Blizzard Formation!”

Lan Xiaoni suddenly let out a soft cry. She waved her hands through the air, and countless drops of water transformed into deadly snowflakes. The snowflakes gathered to form a devastating blizzard that crushed down toward Ji De.

“Useless tricks!” Ji De clapped its hands together, and the blizzard was instantly shattered by a tremendous force.

Then, it saw the Spirit Fish Clan princess—who was still fierce and overbearing just a moment ago—turn around and flee.

That’s right, Lan Xiaoni had switched into escape mode!

“An Lin, save me!”

Lan Xiaoni repeatedly screamed for help as she sprinted toward An Lin.

An Lin: “…”

“Just then, which retard said that only those with noble blood could enter?” An Lin sneered. “Who said that only they were worthy of the treasures and such was the decision of fate?”

“It was me! I’m the retard that you speak of!” The rims of Lan Xiaoni’s eyes were red, and tears of remorse trickled down her cheek.

An Lin: “…”

Is it really okay to admit that so readily?

“Block her for me!” Ji De roared.

The dozens of sea monsters that rested on the two sides of the wooden bridge suddenly started moving. They all turned toward Lan Xiaoni and started casting spell techniques toward her.

Powerful spell techniques rained down and enveloped the entire wooden bridge.

A blue figure jumped out from the explosions and continued sprinting toward An Lin. Her raven-black hair billowed behind her back, and a suit of ice-blue armor covered her smooth and delicate skin.

The white ball was responsible for defending against the sea monsters’ attacks, and the little blue fish was responsible for holding Ji De back. The journey of Lan Xiaoni’s escape was especially difficult.

However, An Lin didn’t show any signs of wanting to help her. Rather, there was a playful look on his face. “You uttered those words toward me, yet you want me to come to your rescue now. If I fulfill your demand, then won’t it be embarrassing for me?”

“What on Earth do you want?” Lan Xiaoni’s fishtail was almost struck by Ji De’s harpoon, and she sprinted even quicker.

“Call me papa!” An Lin chuckled.

“Papa, save me!” Lan Xiaoni screamed.

An Lin: “…”

“You actually shouted it so readily… Don’t you feel any shame? Don’t you feel any guilt?” An Lin was deeply stunned.

“I know that you’re not my father anyway. I’m merely humoring you!” Lan Xiaoni arced her body, and she just barely managed to dodge another one of Ji De’s attacks.

An Lin: “…”

Humor me? This was the first time that he had heard such a refreshing and honest answer.

This mermaid princess is this scared of death?

Lan Xiaoni’s face became paler and paler. It was evident that she was already on the verge of collapsing.

Soon after, she charged through the blue water barrier and leaped toward An Lin.

“Papa, save me!”
