Chapter 249

With Ji Huai's voice echoing, a golden pillar of light shot up into the sky.

Countless weapons rained down from the sky like rain, then sank into the sea.

"Servant, there's no room for you to act here."

Dalaisai put away the water mirror propping up the sky, looked at Ji Huai in metal armor not far away, and showed no panic at all despite his joining.

Inside the instance tunnel, he had already witnessed Ji Huai's Spirit Descent.

One must admit, Ji Huai's Spirit Descent has its unique merits, enough to make him pay a bit more attention.

But this is the sea; those weapons falling from heaven sink into the sea—how could they threaten him, the Tide Demon Lord?

As he raised the white bone long fork in his hand, countless sea demons beneath his feet poked their heads out.

The moment the white bone long fork pointed at Ji Huai, these sea demons summoned from the surrounding waters lunged at him in an instant—among them, dozens were fifth-rank demons alone.

"Let's play with these little things!"

Saying that, Dalaisai's gaze turned back to Qin Chuan.

In his view, the guy before him, whom neither could best the other, was the true threat.

"Your strength is considerably greater than what Dailai described." Dailasayi raised his white bone trident, azure light bursting from his eyes, "No matter what attribute your power comes from, I could possibly lose."

"But unfortunately, your power comes from water."

"Half-demons have an affinity second only to the Crystal Clan; when facing a half-demon, using the same type of extraordinary power puts one at a huge disadvantage that cannot be made up for by equipment."

"Warm-up ends here." Dailasayi's mouth curled into an arc, "Next I will properly enjoy this battle."

"You really talk a lot." Qin Chuan gripped tightly Salas's Slaying Dragon Sword, his eyes flashing with a cold, dark light.

He was about to make a move, but his expression suddenly shifted, and he retreated half a step.

Infinite Armory Tomb·

Clang—

A clear, resonant sword cry rang through heaven and earth, instantly sweeping toward Dailasayi; a huge blade split heaven and earth, and in an instant the sharp intent that burst forth unfolded the sea, revealing a seabed hundreds of meters deep, while simultaneously piercing the sky, cleaving a gap in the clouds.

Countless sea monsters were torn apart by the residual blade aura; at the end of the blood‑soaked path, Ji Huai, whose armor had fallen away, slowly lowered a hand drenched in blood, his expression utterly calm.

Heaven‑Burying Blade!

Dailasayi's expression changed instantly; he barely managed to explode backward to dodge this blade, yet countless blood marks instantly appeared on his body from the blade's aura.

Just as he was about to act, Qin Chuan had already appeared ghost‑like at his side.

The Slaying Dragon Sword, swung with full force, came down heavily on Dailasayi's hastily raised white bone trident; in the next instant, terrifying power exploded, blasting Dailasayi—who had been forced back to the tunnel entrance by Ji Huai—into the instance tunnel!

Without hesitation, Qin Chuan followed closely into the tunnel, watching Dailasayi's recoiling motion gradually come to a stop; he flashed forward a few times and raised his Slaying Dragon Sword high.

As he was about to activate Time Stop, Qin Chuan's expression twitched slightly.

He hesitated not, chopping down; watching Dailasayi split directly in half, turning into two masses of water, his expression darkened.

In the void, Dailasayi's immensely aggravating voice echoed.

"That's enough for today; let's fight again another day."

Qin Chuan said nothing, stepped out of the instance tunnel entrance, looked at the calm battlefield outside, and couldn't help but look toward Ji Huai, "Instructor Ji, did you see that guy?"

"I only saw him being driven into the tunnel by you." Ji Huai placed one hand on his other hand that had stopped bleeding; hearing this, his expression tightened, "He isn't in the tunnel?"

Qin Chuan shook his head slightly.

The distant observers who had been watching the battle happened to arrive just then; after hearing their conversation, they exchanged bewildered glances.

"All present detectors, immediately scan the surroundings." Su Yuanshan said in a low voice.

After a moment, everyone returned empty‑handed.

Qin Chuan's expression grew solemn.

After discovering that the Dailasayi who entered the instance tunnel was merely a water‑clone, he realized the chances of finding him again were extremely slim.

That guy, even being forced into the instance tunnel by them was a disguise.

"I'll go destroy the tunnel; you lot watch out for Dailasayi making a comeback outside." After saying that, Qin Chuan turned and entered the tunnel once more.

Compared to searching for Dailasayi, destroying the tunnel that could at any moment be upgraded to S‑rank is obviously more important.

After a dozen minutes, Qin Chuan flickered and appeared outside the instance tunnel; the tunnel entrance quickly collapsed and vanished.

The A‑rank instance tunnel, Silent Poison Lake, was successfully destroyed.

All the extraordinary beings who witnessed this scene cheered, yet thinking of the missing Dailasayi, a lingering gloom weighed on their hearts.

——

In a remote town within the Never‑Setting Nation, a large crowd of extraordinary beings gathered around an opened tunnel entrance, faces tense, standing ready.

After an unknown wait, a graceful figure flashed and appeared outside the tunnel entrance.

Immediately afterward, the tunnel entrance, which had been open for several hours, rapidly collapsed and vanished.

The C‑rank instance tunnel that had Descended upon the Never‑Setting Nation was smoothly destroyed.

The extraordinary beings guarding outside immediately exhaled in relief, while the distant onlookers cheered even more excitedly, shouting the name "Zefina".

Zefina wore light armor, a short skirt, her lively gold‑short hair swaying in the wind; she smiled and waved at the onlookers, then stepped into an approaching phantom vehicle.

Just as the car door shut, Olielga, who had been hiding inside, lunged forward, her azure eyes seeming to glitter with stars—'Fantastic!'

"Freyja, don't take advantage." Zephina pushed Olielga aside, her expression somewhat helpless, "How's the situation over there?"

"The video just came back—do you want to watch?" Olielga laughed, picking up the laptop from beside and placing it on her lap, "I haven't had a chance to look yet, perfect timing to watch together."

Zephina gestured for it to be opened, and soon the footage of Qin Chuan and Dalarasay's fierce battle appeared before the two women's eyes.

After Dalarasay was blasted into the dungeon passage, the video ended.

Inside the car, Zephina and Olielga fell silent.

"This is the power of spirit descent..." Zephina's eyes shone with longing. "Freyja, you now know how foolish it is to oppose him, right?"

Olielga shrank back at the words, "Who would have thought this guy's power is so monstrous, and it can even nullify my talent?"

"You made the same mistake as Ailikete; fortunately, due to the special nature of your talent, you managed to escape unharmed." Zefina stroked Aolierjia's smooth long hair, "Find an opportunity to release kindness, see if you can peacefully coexist with the other side."

"Okay." Aolierjia hugged Zefina's arm, opened her phone and swiped a few times, then her expression changed in surprise, "This battle clip seems to have already been exposed online."

"The angle is different from our video, and it's even clearer than ours."

"Huh? They actually captured Luo's front face!"

Zefina glanced with interest at the video playing on Aolierjia's phone.

"Now things are getting more interesting."
