201. Chapter 201: Gravely Injured Escape

Endless seawater shot towards him, and Qianxunji felt waves of danger rising within his body.

Qianxunji had no doubt that if he did not use his second martial soul, this move of the Sea God could turn him into a hornet's nest, blasting his body into atoms in the air.

Although he wouldn't die, he couldn't lose his dignity.

After all, even among Title Douluo, each rank increase creates a huge gap in strength, let alone after becoming a god, where each additional rank makes the strength difference enormously large.

Qianxunji is only rank 111, while the Sea God is an old Divine Abode of rank 139, a full 28 ranks apart.

Moreover, the Sea God is the strongest among midday first-rank Divine Abodes, indicating that his soul power is far richer than that of ordinary Divine Abodes, and the power of his soul skills far exceeds that of other first-rank Divine Abodes.

It seems only the killer's mace will do.

Qianxunji's sharp eyes locked onto the Sea God as he said disdainfully:

"Sea dog, are you giving me face?"

"I've laid my cards bare, no more pretending!"

"Hmph!" the Sea God snorted coldly, then said coldly:

"Qianxunji, with death at your doorstep you still dare to spout wild talk; it seems you want to regain your last shred of dignity?"

"Sorry, I'll make you die an ugly death, leaving not even a trace of your corpse."

Countless seawater had already closed in within ten meters of Qianxunji, wrapping him in layers; in less than a breath, he would be shot into a hornet's nest.

"Chaotic Azure Lotus!"

Qianxunji gave a cold shout, raised his left hand, and a azure lotus blossom appeared from his palm, floating above his hand.

The next moment, the azure lotus burst forth with a azure light, enveloping Qianxunji within.

This azure circular light formed a thin protective shield, so thin it seemed it could collapse at any moment.

Seeing Qianxunji's thin outer layer of azure circular shield, the Sea God felt pity for him and said lightly:

"Ah, you might as well stop your desperate resistance; I'll still leave you a whole corpse. What use is that thin layer?"

However, when each drop of seawater struck the azure shield, it was directly blocked,

"How is that possible?"

The Sea God was instantly shocked and disbelieving, staring at what unfolded before his eyes.

He never expected that the defense formed by Qianxunji's second martial soul could actually block his attack.

Know that each of his seawater drops equals a strike from a first-rank Divine Abode.

And with so much seawater, any first-rank Divine Abode within it would be unable to block it.

This is why he is an invincible existence among first-rank Divine Abodes of the first rank.

But Qianxunji has only just become a god, and is only rank 111; how could he block this strike?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

The Sea God's expression turned grim as he exerted all his divine power with all his might, controlling the countless seawater in the sky to shoot toward Qianxunji.

He simply didn't believe Qianxunji could block such endless attacks.

"Boom… boom… boom…"

In the sky, each droplet of seawater was like a divine sword striking Qianxunji's azure shield above him, and the sky continuously rang with deafening booms.

Yet, despite the endless seawater assault, Qianxunji's thin azure shield showed not a single ripple, blocking every attack.

Qianxunji raised his left hand, and the Chaotic Azure Lotus floated above his palm, emitting a faint azure light.

"Thud… thud…"

Qianxunji moved, lifting the Chaotic Azure Lotus with his hand, walking step by step toward the Sea God.

He walked very slowly, yet each step covered a hundred meters; three steps brought him to within one meter of the Sea God, standing face to face.

At this moment, the Sea God realized his ninth soul skill could not kill Qianxunji, so he ceased the attack; his formerly composed, confident gaze vanished, replaced by panic and terror.

The Sea God gazed warily at Qianxunji before him and asked:

"What martial soul is this?"

"Chaotic Azure Lotus." Qianxunji replied lightly.

The Sea God asked again:

"What is the name of the soul skill that emitted the protective shield from the Chaotic Azure Lotus just now, and why is its defense so abnormal?"

"There is no soul skill; it is merely the light it emits. Because it is abnormal, it is abnormal." Qianxunji explained like an old man to a studious traveler.

Although he spoke so lightly, his own people know his own affairs.

After all, he is only rank 111 while the Sea God is rank 139; just now he fully powered the Chaotic Azure Lotus's defense to block the Sea God's strongest divine technique.

Even with his abundant divine power, plus drawing heavenly and earthly energy by emulating the cosmos to quickly restore divine power, the massive divine power consumption of the Chaotic Azure Lotus means he cannot sustain it for long.

Therefore, he deliberately appeared relaxed as he approached the Sea God, causing him to cease the continued use of his ninth soul skill.

Otherwise, if the Sea God continued to use his ninth soul skill, Qianxunji's divine power supply would fall short of the Chaotic Azure Lotus's consumption, leaving him unable to block the endless attacks and ultimately defeated.

Thus, upon reaching the Sea God's presence, he directly dispelled the azure shield emitted by the Chaotic Azure Lotus to restore his internal divine power.

Yet, all this in the Sea God's eyes made him think Qianxunji was too strong, no longer regarding the Sea God as worthy of attention, bringing immense pressure and fear.

Suddenly, the Sea God clenched his fist and launched a punch toward Qianxunji's head.

Its speed was like lightning.

He was old and crafty; everything he had just said was meant to paralyze Qianxunji, make him let his guard down, discard the azure shield, so he could succeed in a sneak attack.

However, just as the fist was about to strike Qianxunji, he controlled the Chaotic Azure Lotus to position it before his head.

"Bang!"

The Sea God's heavy punch struck the Chaotic Azure Lotus, which burst forth with intense azure light, shaking violently.

"Crack!"

"Ah!"

All that could be heard was a crack, then the Sea God's painful wail.

The Sea God's fist was twisted and deformed, blood pouring out.

Qianxunji looked at the ambushing Sea God and angrily said:

"You sneak attack, you deceive—even a rat would be ashamed!"

Then he controlled the Chaotic Azure Lotus, smashing it directly onto the Sea God's head.

Seeing this, the Sea God hastily raised his other hand to block above his brain.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

All that could be heard was a crack, and the Sea God's arm instantly bent and deformed.

Immediately after, the Chaotic Azure Lotus violently smashed again toward the Sea God's head.

Seeing this, the Sea God used all his divine power to protect his head.

"Boom!"

"Ah!"

With a boom, the Sea God again let out a bone‑piercing wail.

On his head, a stream of blood flowed down.

Qianxunji did not stop, continuing to control the Chaotic Azure Lotus to repeatedly smash the Sea God's head.

"Boom… boom… boom…"

Each time it fell, a deep, muffled roar sounded.

"Let you, this sea dog, pull a sneak attack."

"Let you, you bastard, have no martial ethics."

"Let you be high and mighty."

"Let you scheme against me."

"Boom… boom…"

The Sea God's head was smashed, blood flowing, his brain near bursting; knowing he was no match for Qianxunji, he circulated all his divine power and shot off into the distant sky.

After all, he was a rank‑139 level‑1 Divine Abode, his speed greater than Qianxunji's present speed, so his escape was still easy.

"Qianxunji, wait for me—I will come back!"
