Chapter 182 New Mission, Severely Weaken the Invading Enemy_1

Tang Chen, who had drawn the Asura Devil Sword, exuded an overwhelming aura.

The murderous energy soared to the skies.

Even so, Bossi still stood firmly in front of Qin Xiao.

With her actions, she made her decision clear—she would not let anyone pass!

Seeing this, Tang Chen's pupils shrank, and he said coldly, "Bossi, I gave you a chance. It was your own incompetence. Don't blame me for being heartless now."

As his voice faded, he had disappeared from the spot, the Asura Devil Sword in his hand burgeoning with a red sword aura over ten meters long, slashing towards Bossi.

The terrifying might seemed to cleave both Qin Xiao and Bossi into two halves.

"You retreat first. You are no match for Tang Chen at this moment,"

spoke Bossi to Qin Xiao, her back facing him, before she fearlessly met the Asura Devil Sword.

Qin Xiao saw a gigantic figure, towering thirty to fifty meters high, appearing behind Bossi.

He held a massive Trident in his hand.

A majestic and dignified aura that looked down upon all beings washed over him.

Qin Xiao's mind trembled fiercely twice.

Sea God!

The name surfaced in the depths of Qin Xiao's heart.

Of course, this figure was not the true Sea God, but Bossi's Martial Soul.

It was also the origin of the Sea God Douluo title.

The moment this phantom appeared, the pressure brought on by Tang Chen lessened by a great deal.

Seizing this opportunity, Qin Xiao subconsciously retreated a hundred meters.

"Boom boom boom!"

The waves surged, and the sword aura split the sky.

The battle between Bossi and Tang Chen was undoubtedly terrifying.

The Sea Pillar Guardians on the Sea God's Island were dumbstruck.

Let alone joining the fight, they estimated that with their Cultivation Levels, just approaching the battle circle of Bossi and Tang Chen would leave them either dead or severely injured.

Even the strongest among them, the Sea Dragon Douluo, had a pale complexion and clenched his fists tightly.

All he could do was to anxiously watch from the sidelines.

In the midst of the battle, only Qin Xiao waited for the right moment, ready to deliver a deadly blow.

He was somewhat confident he could inflict certain injuries on Tang Chen but was unsure of the price he would have to pay.

In the next moment, Qin Xiao saw the enormous Sea God's phantom wield the Trident in its hand and fiercely clash with Tang Chen, who held the Asura Devil Sword.

The resulting waves were hundreds of meters high, enough to eclipse the sunlight.

Darkness seemed to descend upon the world!

Everyone's heart uncontrollably leapt.

Crash!

Unexpectedly, numerous fine cracks suddenly appeared on the vast Sea God's phantom, and then the cracks began to glow. The massive phantom shattered into pieces with a thunderous explosion.

And Bossi's figure plummeted straight into the sea.

"It broke!"

"Great Priest."

On the Sea God's Island, the faces of the many Sea Pillar Protectors changed simultaneously, and without a word, they dashed out of the Sea God's Island to aid Bossi against Tang Chen.

But at that moment, Tang Chen's divine might was unparalleled; with a turn of the Asura Devil Sword in his hand, the terrifying sword aura swept across, and the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians were no match for him, forced to retreat in disarray.

Even the Sea Horse Douluo had a bloody and terrifying wound on his chest.

"Pitiful efforts against the great, so overestimating your own abilities!"

"The legacy left by the Sea God, it's nothing much after all."

"Once I've dealt with Bossi and Qin Xiao, I'll take care of you,"

Tang Chen said, glancing at the Seven Sacred Pillar Protectors with undisguised contempt.

In his eyes, only Bossi and Qin Xiao barely deserved his attention.

"Wait, where is Qin Xiao?"

Tang Chen suddenly sensed something was amiss—Qin Xiao had disappeared.

He looked around and couldn't find Qin Xiao anywhere.

"Could it be that kid has run away?"

Tang Chen frowned, and upon reflection, it didn't seem impossible.

Bang!

The waves churned as Bossi burst through the surface of the sea, standing in mid-air, confronting Tang Chen from afar.

Looking at Bossi, with her torn red dress and skin marked by flowing blood, Tang Chen smiled, "Bossi, do you see? The person you're willing to give your life for has abandoned you. Is your sacrifice still worth it?"

"I really can't understand what's so good about that kid that makes you willing to protect him at the cost of your own life. Do you regret it now?"

Bossi shook her head slightly, "For the faith in my heart, I have no regrets."

After speaking, she thrust out her golden scepter, now with fine cracks, like a spear once again.

At the same time, she prayed in her heart, 'Qin Xiao, you have to hurry. I can't hold on much longer.'

Indeed.

Qin Xiao was no longer there.

Before leaving, he had informed Bossi of his destination.

...

Elsewhere.

Qin Xiao had already arrived at the small island in the center of the circular sea area.

However, Qin Xiao was not there for a trip down memory lane.

Just outside the Sea God's Island, while Bossi was battling with Tang Chen, he discovered that the fifth trial was: [To pull out the Sea God's Trident.]

Qin Xiao remembered that in the original work, Tang San's seventh trial was this very task. Now, facing him, it had been brought forward by two trials.

Yet Qin Xiao could also somewhat guess that the early arrival of this task was likely related to Tang Chen's appearance.

The Sea God was not dead but not present in this world. When Bossi began frantically invoking the Sea God's power, the Sea God must have realized the crisis unfolding upon Sea God's Island and naturally sought a countermeasure.

Qin Xiao speculated that letting him pull out the Divine Artifact, the Sea God's Trident, was the Sea God's strategy for breaking the deadlock.

He also conveyed his thoughts to Bossi in secret, and after receiving her agreement, he took advantage of the chaos of the battle to come here.
