Chapter 193: Shameless!

Chapter 193: Shameless!

After finding out where the Sea Princess tribe's territory was, Du Qianjue and Xue Linglong made no attempt to conceal their presence, boldly flying through the air. Yet no soul beast dared to attack them. Even the most mindlessly aggressive soul beasts trembled and cleared a path for them upon sensing their aura.

The pair smoothly made their way deep into the Ice Sea, their powerful presence causing panic among the Sea Princess tribe. The tribe's leader, a 600,000-year-old Sea Princess, broke the surface to confront them as soon as Du Qianjue and Xue Linglong stopped. She had thought they would pass through her tribe's territory without much fuss as others did. Despite their rather disrespectful flaunting of power, she was willing to overlook it considering their strength, fearful of suffering a significant loss in a direct confrontation.

She hoped for peace, but it turned out that Du Qianjue and Xue Linglong had come specifically for her.

"What brings you two to the territory of the Sea Princess? Such a grand entrance suggests ill intentions," the Sea Princess leader said, her face clouded with a grim expression. Her tribe were followers of the Sea God! Who would dare trouble the Sea Princess tribe in this vast ocean?

Even though her power was inferior to Du Qianjue and Xue Linglong, the Sea Princess leader still felt confident, believing that they wouldn't dare attack her tribe.

"You know we mean no good, yet you dared to come alone to meet us?" Du Qianjue was genuinely surprised, his expression comical.

She's too brave, isn't she?

Du Qianjue gave the Sea Princess leader a thorough look, touching his chin in thought.

"What are you looking at?" Xue Linglong asked curiously.

There didn't seem to be anything unusual about the Sea Princess leader. Her upper body was that of a typical human beauty, and her lower half was a golden fish tail that swayed slightly in the air. Besides her body being covered only with shells and seaweed at strategic spots, there was nothing peculiar, right?

"I'm wondering if she stayed in the water so long her brain got soaked," Du Qianjue bluntly stated.

Xue Linglong couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The Sea Princess leader's face turned green, her aqua blue hair standing on end in anger.

"Human! You're courting death!" The Sea Princess leader roared, her soul power fluctuating violently as if she was ready to strike at any moment.

"Humph, the one courting death is you!" Xue Linglong snorted coldly, her face instantly turning icy. The terrifying aura of a supreme 800,000-year-old beast overwhelmed the Sea Princess leader, who had only 600,000 years of cultivation, making it hard for her to breathe and worsening her already ugly expression.

"Are you Xue Di? I recognize your aura. Why are you attacking me with a human?" The Sea Princess leader gritted her teeth.

Du Qianjue clicked his tongue.

Didn't you treat Xue Di with no respect when you met Huo Yuhao in the original story? How come you're all twisted up now?

Look at this pitiful act, anyone would think Xue'er and I are bullying you!

What? Are we really bullying her?

Well, no matter, she deserves it.

"Why are we targeting you, don't you have any idea?" Xue Linglong said with a sly smile, her hand tightening around a frosty blue sword that appeared in her grasp.

"Such a simple question, yet you, a tribe leader, ask it. Too naïve."

Seeing Xue Linglong conjure the Emperor Sword, the Sea Princess leader panicked. The infamy of Xue Di's three ultimate moves, especially in the regions near the Far North, was well known.

Xue Di was intent on killing her!

"Xue Di, I worship the Sea God! If you kill me, the Sea God will not let you or the human beside you off!" the Sea Princess leader warned desperately, trying to conceal her inner turmoil.

"Don't worry, in a few years, your Sea God will be joining you," Du Qianjue said with a sneer, his three pairs of wings unfolding behind him.

"What?!" The Sea Princess leader was shocked.

Such arrogant and blasphemous words!

Before she could react further, Du Qianjue tore through space to appear behind her, delivering a crushing Emperor Punch - World Breaker directly to her back. The Sea Princess tribe was not known for their physical robustness; they were adept in elemental and mental abilities, and their physical form was extremely frail.

Caught off-guard by Du QianJue's words, she took the full brunt of his unreserved Emperor Punch - World Breaker to her back, almost bursting her heart.

Still, the characteristic elemental disintegration blast severely injured her, causing her to spit out blood with internal organ fragments, her powerful aura plummeting.

"How dare you sneak attack... Shameless!" The Sea Princess leader's face turned pale with a sickly flush, blood dripping from her mouth.

"This is a battle, a fight to the death! Who's talking about martial virtue here? Big guy, answer the question!" Du Qianjue scoffed disdainfully, looking at the Sea Princess leader as if she were a fool, which only infuriated her further.

But the Sea Princess leader knew she had no chance today. Already unable to overcome the two, now she had been sneak-attacked and severely injured by Du QianJue, likely leaving her no chance to escape.

"Damnable…" As the situation deteriorated, the Sea Princess leader's eyes filled with despair, yet she was not ready to give up without a fight.

"So you want to kill me for this human man to obtain my soul ring?" she sneered madly. "Since you want my soul ring, I will not let you have your way!"

Hearing her words, Xue Linglong was startled and instinctively raised her sword to strike, but Du Qianjue stopped her.

Du Qianjue pulled Xue Linglong behind him, intrigued by the Sea Princess leader's suddenly intense aura and the increasingly unstable soul power fluctuations within her.

She planned to detonate her soul core and self-destruct, which would leave no soul ring or soul bone behind.

"You want to self-destruct, to make us leave empty-handed?" Du Qianjue asked with a twisted smile, his expression suddenly turning cruel. "Go ahead, self-destruct. Once you do, I swear in my rage I'll slaughter your entire Sea Princess tribe to extinction!"

"Spurt—" Frightened, the Sea Princess leader immediately stopped her raging soul core, spewing a mouthful of blood skyward and bellowing, "Shameless!!!"
