Chapter 681: Come for a Hug

"More than a year's time..."

"You actually went from Level 93... to Level 96..."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's voice was filled with fury and shock.

Layers of Purple light flickered across its body, as if it were about to transform back into human form.

"Freeze!"

But just at this moment, a majestic woman's voice rang out in everyone's ears.

"Whoosh!"

Without giving the Deep Sea Demon Whale King any time to react, countless currents of water rose up from all around the island.

In an instant, they swept over, wrapping around and solidifying the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body, which was hundreds of meters long.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's hideous whale head froze in mid-air, its giant, cavernous eyes blinking; it was clearly caught off guard by this turn of events.

"Who... is it..."

Feeling the extreme binding effect contained within that water pressure, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King knew it could not break free in a short time.

Its angry gaze swept across every direction: "Who... is... launching a sneak attack?!"

"It is I."

A faint woman's voice came through, and everyone looked over subconsciously, only to see a water-blue figure with a long ponytail slowly rising into the air.

Everyone was a bit dazed, because this person did not seem to be any of the Title Douluo of Sea God Island that they were familiar with.

Who is she...

"You are..."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King sensed the powerful pressure she was gradually emitting and instinctively felt that things were looking bad.

"Hum, hum..."

Soul Rings began to rhythmically rise beneath her feet.

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black... Red!

The terrifying Soul Ring configuration, along with the roughly ten-foot-long Scepter that suddenly appeared in her hand, made everyone's gaze tremble.

They finally knew who this was...

"Poseixi! You are Poseixi! How could you be here!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared in disbelief.

"It's High Priest! High Priest has come to save us!"

The island was filled with jubilation and fanaticism.

"As expected of the Goddess of the Sea, these guys forgot my contribution in an instant..."

Qin Jian curled his lips, and while everyone's attention was focused on Poseixi, he silently recovered the remaining soul power from his Ring Fusion.

There was still enough strength for one strike...

"Deep Sea Demon Whale King..."

Poseixi's majestic voice pierced through people's hearts: "Attacking Sea God Island with the intent to destroy Haishi, you have crossed my bottom line."

At this moment, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had already recovered from its initial shock and had made a judgment on the current situation.

"Poseixi, if you had attacked me with full force just now, perhaps I would have been heavily injured and fled by now, but you chose to bind me instead..."

It sneered: "Do you still intend to keep me here? Just by relying on you... you all..."

It looked at Qin Jian again, its sneer so obvious: "Just by relying on you all, can you do it?"

"Since I have appeared, I naturally will not do useless work." Poseixi's expression was cold.

Everyone looked at her with extremely expectant eyes, but she looked at Qin Jian.

Those gazes were somewhat confused, but they also followed her lead and focused on Qin Jian.

Qin Jian smiled.

He knew what Poseixi meant; it was, what do we do next?

But he only smiled slightly and opened his arms: "Come here for a hug."

Deep Sea Demon Whale King: "???"

Everyone: "???"

Poseixi: "???"

"Don't be ridiculous."

The way she touched her forehead with a slight pout caused jaws to drop all over the place.

"I'm not being ridiculous, a hug can solve it."

Qin Jian was unhurried; in reality, his power had not finished accumulating.

"Really?"

Poseixi was suspicious and hesitant.

The group of people on the island didn't know what expression to show, but the Deep Sea Demon Whale King felt relieved: "If you are counting on him, then you will be disappointed. After fighting me head-on, how could he possibly still have the strength to kill me."

"Hum!"

Just at this moment, Qin Jian finally finished accumulating his power.

Half an incense stick of time had already passed, and there wasn't much time left!

He decisively stepped on the void and suddenly flew toward Poseixi: "Come."

Poseixi's cheeks burned bright red all at once.

At such a serious moment of battle, having to hug a man was truly a bit much for the High Priest to handle, especially with all those strange gazes below focused entirely on her.

But Qin Jian came before her without a word and pulled her into his embrace.

"Hum, hum."

The vibration of the martial soul made Poseixi understand instantly what this was.

"Us? A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

This was something she had never expected.

No wonder Qin Jian was so confident.

With their strength, executing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill would certainly allow them to infinitely touch the threshold of a god, and slaying the Deep Sea Demon Whale King would be absolutely no problem.

"Roar! ——"

Sensing the martial souls slowly merging on Qin Jian and Poseixi, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King panicked.

It had fought both Poseixi and Qin Jian separately, so it naturally knew their strength; judging by the exponential growth of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, if it took this blow...

It would really die!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King erupted with all its might, violent shockwaves flashing continuously within Poseixi's Binding Water Domain.

"Not good!"

Poseixi's pupils constricted: "Its energy has expanded much more than a few years ago; it will break free in less than half an incense stick of time!"

"We are almost ready too..."

Qin Jian's eyes opened.

"Boom! ——"

A curtain of sea crashed into the sky.

It was like a wing hanging from the heavens, connecting the boundary of sea and sky.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Sea-Sky Sword Curtain!"

The figures of Qin Jian and Poseixi both rose into the sky curtain, standing proudly in the clouds like gods of the sea and sky.

"Sea-Sky Sword Curtain, First Slash!"

Qin Jian's right hand was raised high, and he brought it down toward the direction of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body!

"Clang! ——"

It was as if the entire sky had slashed out a sword; the water-blue sword curtain, like a horizontal cutting ray, slashed down instantly.

"Awoo roar! ——"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out an earth-shattering, painful roar.

A hideous bloodstain appeared on its back, deep enough to see bone.

The color of blood dyed the water domain that bound it red.

"Sea-Sky Sword Curtain, Third Slash!"

But this Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Qin Jian and Poseixi was not just a single strike; before the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could even catch its breath, three more sword curtains slashed down.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, a river of blood cascading like a waterfall.

The terrifying Sea Soul Beast that had brought doom to Sea City Island just a few incense sticks of time ago was actually heavily injured in these few short slashes!

"Roar ahhh!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King went completely insane.

A deep red blood glow intensified on its body.

And at this moment, nine sword shadows had already appeared on the Sea-Sky Sword Curtain.

Clearly, Qin Jian's final wave of nine slashes was about to fall.

"Careful! It's going to self-destruct!"

Poseixi's pupils suddenly constricted: "No, it's half; half of the energy in its body is rioting, it must be planning to use this to break free from the control!"

Qin Jian's face turned slightly pale.

These final nine slashes had also drained his strength.

"It's too late..."

The power of these nine swords was too great, and gathering momentum would take a moment, but the Deep Sea Demon Whale King below had burned its bridges and had already resolutely detonated half of its energy.

"Boom! ——"

The blood-colored light source spanned ten miles, the blinding radiance illuminating the sea surface far and near.

A half-crippled, blood-colored whale shadow leaped out from the center of the explosion, charging toward the ocean at extreme Speed, looking as if it were about to escape...
