Chapter 248: Spirit Descent Again

Hearing Dàlái Sàyī's words, Qin Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Younger sister?

A figure instantly appeared in his mind.

Qin Chuan tightened his grip on the saber and said, "So you want to avenge her?"

"Revenge?" Dàlái Sàyī seemed to have heard something funny, he laughed, "Suppressing her arrogance is a good thing; why would I seek revenge?"

"Oh~ I understand." Dàlái Sàyī hehe laughed, "You think that 'killing' my sister in the instance means killing her actual self?"

"No no no, completely wrong." He shook his head, "The instance actually…"

"Spirit Descent·Water-Chanting Throne."

Qin Chuan's voice was indifferent yet carried a chilling fighting spirit, instantly interrupting Dàlái Sàyī's words.

Accompanied by a azure light pillar shooting up to the sky, the huge wave surging from the sea surface extended upward, quickly converging into a throne woven from water currents.

Seated upon the water throne, Qin Chuan raised his hand and pointed.

The mighty water surged upward in an instant, falling from the firmament, spinning rapidly like a grindstone, sweeping toward Dàlái Sàyī on the sea surface.

"You, you must be the real one, right?"

"Not letting anyone finish their words…" Dàlái Sàyī spoke gloomily, in an instant the corners of his mouth curled into a wild arc, his azure eyes surging with overwhelming fighting spirit, the white bone spear in his hand viciously stabbed toward the sea surface, "But I like it!"

"Boom!!!"

The calm sea surface instantly speared a hundred-meter-long water trident, its sharp prong thrusting straight at the rapidly spinning huge wave in the air, accompanied by a grating sound and intense roar, the trident and wave instantly shattered, turning into countless splashing water droplets.

"But…" Dàlái Sàyī raised a hand, and in the moment he clenched it, the myriad water droplets gathered, forming hideous demonic beasts that charged toward Qin Chuan.

"In front of me, the Tidewater Demon Lord, using water—aren't you being overly arrogant?!"

Looking at the water beasts lunging at him, Qin Chuan's expression remained blank, azure light flickering in the depths of his eyes, he slowly lifted the "core" of the Kasakaban in his hand.

Moon Halo 10th-grade attribute Cangzong, activated.

The Kasakaban's "core," taking effect,

Attribute control increased, 240%!

In an instant, Qin Chuan forcibly seized control of all the water beasts.

Seeing the water beasts turn and charge toward himself, Dàlái Sàyī's eyes showed not the slightest fear, but rather full excitement.

"Somewhat interesting."

Azure light burst all around him, Dàlái Sàyī's form instantly changed—his lower half turned into a fish tail, while his scales transformed into a set of deep-blue battle armor across his body.

One of the Half Demon Clan's trump cards, demonification.

He hurled the white bone spear with all his might toward the water beasts, shouting loudly.

"But still not enough!"

Every water beast that touched the white bone spear instantly exploded; amidst a series of booms, the spear pierced toward Qin Chuan's face as if entering an uninhabited realm.

"Clang——"

With a clang of metal, Sàlāsī's Slay Dragon Blade flashed in, precisely striking the spear's prong; the heavy force exploded, and amid the rising momentum, the detached white bone spear was knocked flying.

Before Qin Chuan could act to seize the opponent's weapon, the white bone spear had already vanished midair, reappearing in Dàlái Sàyī's hand.

"Whoosh——"

In a sound of breaking wind, a water bullet suddenly shot from the sea beneath Dàlái Sàyī, and as the spear returned, it headed toward his face at a treacherous angle.

"Is that all your trick?" Dàlái Sàyī's face showed a hint of disdain as he casually caught the water bullet; the next instant his expression changed slightly.

At the moment he caught the water bullet, five water-flow marks suddenly appeared on his body. The mighty water surged toward the marks in an instant; after confirming the marks could not be easily erased, Dàlái Sàyī grinned, "Now that's more like it."

He hesitated not, raising the spear and hurling it heavily at Qin Chuan again; streams of water split into myriad forms, under his control turning into fierce killing techniques.

After demonification, Dàlái Sàyī's control over water flow greatly increased; Qin Chuan, with his attribute control maxed, no longer had a chance to continue seizing the opponent's water flow control.

"Pop~"

Qin Chuan snapped his fingers, an azure halo centered on the water throne rippled in the void, instantly sweeping toward Dàlái Sàyī.

Upon contact with the halo, Dàlái Sàyī's expression shifted slightly, his body uncontrollably blasted into the air, and his demonified state was instantly dispelled.

Fifteen water-flow marks instantly appeared on Dàlái Sàyī's body.

Qin Chuan pointed a finger, countless water bullets shot from the sea surface, instantly shooting toward Dàlái Sàyī.

At the same time, Qin Chuan's eyes flashed with sharp light, having already readied himself to unleash the Void Severing Abyssal Flow Slash at any moment.

However, Dàlái Sàyī's reaction speed was equally swift.

A cerulean light burst from the pendant on his chest, instantly allowing Dàlái Sàyī to recover from being blown away.

Purify! Dispel negative effects!

Having demonified again, Dàlái Sàyī raised his hand; the flying white bone spear returned to his grip, and as he fiercely swung it, nearly a hundred surging currents instantly exploded in midair.

Roaring sounds echoed nonstop; the water currents shattered in the impacts, and around the two combatants' battlefield ever thicker water mist formed.

"Hum——"

Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Qin Chuan decisively triggered the Void Severing Abyssal Flow Slash.

Azure water lines instantly burst from Dàlái Sàyī's body, yet at the same instant his body completely turned into water flow, directly mitigating most of the damage from this certain-to-hit slash, allowing him to stand virtually unharmed in his original spot.

Qin Chuan's expression slightly tightened.

Realizing he could do nothing against this water-type opponent in reality, he couldn't help glancing with his peripheral vision toward the open instance entrance.

If he could force this guy into the passage…

His Time Stop could then be used.

Thinking this, he actively stepped down from the water throne, one hand gripping the Slay Dragon Blade, the other clutching the "core," and charged toward Dàlái Sàyī.

"Not bad." The corner of Dàlái Sàyī's mouth gradually turned ruthless, his white bone spear gripped tightly, he met the charge head-on without dodging.

At the moment the spear and the Slay Dragon Blade collided, the rapidly exploding water flow and the clang of metal resounded without cease.

In the astonished gazes of onlookers, two figures collided repeatedly at a speed hard to discern, and the battle zone also began to gradually shift.

Under Qin Chuan's deliberate control, the two gradually approached the instance entrance!

「Clang—」

Blocking the opponent's water blade head-on, Qin Chuan delivered a powerful, heavy horizontal slash that sent both the white bone long fork and Dalai Saiyi, who was gripping it tightly, flying tens of meters.

While instantly recovering his own injuries with the characteristic of ceaseless flow, Qin Chuan glanced at the instance entrance just a few meters behind Dalai Saiyi, his eyes flashing with sharp light, and quickly stepped forward.

「I say… your purpose is too obvious. 」

Dalai Saiyi planted his feet, raised the white bone long fork high, and slammed it down onto the sea surface, kicking up a hundred-meter-high wave that knocked Qin Chuan back, all while a teasing glint appeared in his eyes.

「You think I'll give you a chance to use the instance talent? 」

In the next instant, a low, deep voice sounded.

「Spirit Descent: Boundless Soldiers' Tomb! 」——
