Chapter 1810 - Phoenix
As Poseidon finished speaking, a gust of wind exploded beneath Lin Qiye's feet!
The deck of the exploration ship was instantly torn to shreds. Surging waves rolled around him. Beneath that wild dancing Crimson Cloak, a pair of bloodshot eyes stared死死ly at Poseidon!
"You… want to try??!"
In the heavens above, the slumbering Six-Winged Seraph suddenly opened its eyes!
Blinding golden light ignited once more within its gaze. Vast divine might pressed down, weighing on the hearts of all Olympian Gods, making them feel as if they couldn't breathe.
Poseidon frowned. He hadn't expected the Seraph to still have residual power after that strike… But he was certain the Seraph absolutely couldn't unleash the same second strike. Even if it did, the four of them as Chief Gods could block it together!
"What? Let's see if your sword is faster… or if I kill them faster?" Poseidon狰狞ly spoke.
As his palm seized the air, the waves near the cage instantly halted, transforming into thousands of thin water needles that hovered around the cage. With just one thought from Poseidon, these water needles could precisely shoot down every human in the cage!
These remaining thousands of people were Lin Qiye's weakness—also Poseidon's leverage to control the people of Great Xia!
"That bastard Poseidon!!"
Inside the golden cage, the members of the [Phoenix] Squad wore grim expressions!
"If you want to kill, then kill! Using us to threaten the Commander—what kind of Sea God does that??"
"No… it doesn't seem like he's trying to threaten. He just wants to kill us to boost the morale of the Olympian Gods!"
"This is bad…"
Cao Sha turned to look back. Beyond the panicked, huddled crowd, a figure covered entirely in scabs sat silently before the gate, head bowed, motionless.
Since yesterday, Xia Simeng seemed to have been in that position, in the same posture, without moving.
"Team Leader…?" Cao Sha called softly.
Clink——
A metallic clinking sound rang out as a Coat of Arms fell from Xia Simeng's body, rolling to the side.
That figure propped one hand against the ground and slowly, unsteadily rose from the dried blood pool. Pale arms gradually regained color. Gold hair tangled with blood and grime was pushed aside, revealing a虚弱yet stubborn maiden's face.
"Poseidon… that idiot knows nothing about the Night Watch?" Xia Simeng hoarsely cursed.
Seeing the Coat of Arms that had fallen from Xia Simeng, Cao Sha stared in shock for a moment, his eyes narrowing!
"Team Leader, you…"
Xia Simeng barefoot, left a bloody footprints with each step, walking to the edge of the golden cage. Dark red scabs covered her entire body,触目惊心.
The storm raged across the sea surface, blowing the maiden's matted hair into tangles. A wisp of golden flame suddenly ignited from within the scabs, directly setting the hair ablaze, like a ball of golden fire fluttering in the wind!
Xia Simeng slowly spread both arms wide, proudly overlooking the distant Olympian Gods, word by word:
"Today… this old lady will show these见识shortsighted foreign gods… what 'As long as Great Xia endures, [Phoenix] lives forever' means!!"
Swoosh——!!!
All the scabs on Xia Simeng's body burst open simultaneously. Blood transformed into golden flames that surged outward, instantly engulfing her figure!
In the astonished gazes of the [Phoenix] Squad members, the golden sea of flames wrapped everyone inside the cage. Scorching light flowed through the gaps in the cage's railings, igniting the sea below!
Witnessing this sudden异变, Poseidon's heart sank!
Without time to think, he directly controlled the thousands of water needles around the cage, firing them all at once. But before they could touch the golden sea of flames, they all evaporated away!
In everyone's sight, a clear phoenix cry rang out from the sea surface. Flowing golden fire spread to both sides, like a pair of spreading phoenix wings, blocking out the sky!
The phoenix's wings flapped. Its massive body directly slammed into the inner wall of the cage with a thunderous roar!
This collision didn't break the cage, merely causing the golden railings near the gate to twist and deform slightly… But immediately, the second strike followed!
The fire phoenix trapped inside the golden cage smashed against the railings like mad, churning the flame-covered sea below into chaos.
The next moment, a miraculous sword light descended from the sky, directly tearing an opening in the cage's surface. The golden flames seized the opportunity to tear it wider.
A clear phoenix cry echoed. A massive fire phoenix burst out of the golden cage, breaking through the storm to soar into the skies. Its free wings gleamed brilliantly beneath the dark clouds!
The phoenix breaking free from the cage directly stunned the Olympian Gods present. They never imagined these people would escape in such an unimaginable way from beneath their布置!
Poseidon's chest heaved剧烈ly. He had just been planning to boost the gods' morale with this cage, and now it had been broken… This was无疑a slap in their face!
He roared, slashing the Trident in his palm!
Under the drive of terrifying divine power, the Trident transformed into a beam of light streaking across the sea surface. seawater疯狂向两侧翻涌. The entire sea area was cleaved apart by this single strike!
At the moment that light was about to strike the phoenix, a deep red shadow streaked across the emptiness. Two long blades simultaneously left their sheaths!
One blade snow-white, the other black-gold. The two blades fiercely crossed against the Trident that cleaved the sea. Lin Qiye's暴怒eyes blazed like fire. The tremendous force churned, forcibly intercepting the strike mid-air!
Blinding sparks scattered. A thunder-like roar echoed beneath the heavens!
"KILL——!!!"
Lin Qiye's voice was like a signal. The next instant, all the figures on the exploration ship leapt up simultaneously!
Gray wings unfurled in the storm. Shen Qingzhu expelled a cigarette from his lips. A wisp of flame traced through the air before him, instantly evolving into a fire tornado that swept across the entire strait, raging wildly between the mountains!
Wu "Old Dog"'s eyes flickered with radiance, as if he'd become a different person. He raised the stone ocarina. Its melodious notes drifted顺着狂风, soaring into the distance.
Master Chen, Shao Pingge, Chen Han, Guan Zai, and Wu Quan charged into the strait's airspace, rushing directly toward the surrounding Lesser Gods. Endless rays of divine power flashed. The entire battlefield fell into chaos.
Hum——!
The Trident that Lin Qiye had blocked hummed, automatically flying backward. But before it could travel far, it abruptly halted mid-air.
Invisible threads extended from Lin Qiye's fingertips, tightly wrapping around the Trident's surface. No matter how Poseidon drove it, he couldn't move it back even half an inch!
Above the surging sea, Lin Qiye gripped his twin blades, coldly speaking,
"Did you think… you could still take it back?"
