Chapter 1319: Tricked Again!

"Hmph, Lanchi, you have lost all the face of my Sea Giant race."

"Watch me closely."

"Watch how I crush this ant to death!"

In the chaotic battlefield.

A Sea Giant race Cultivator crossed a distance of over a thousand zhang in the blink of an eye, appearing beside Lanchi, then, without the slightest reduction in speed, approached Wang Jianqiang in an instant.

Their domineering voice rang out in Lanchi's ear.

Lanchi was as silent as a cicada in winter, not daring to even draw a full breath.

On one hand, it was because they knew they had committed a grave error by accidentally killing a fellow clansman; on the other, it was because of the newcomer's status within the Sea Giant race.

Although they possessed remarkable talent, reaching the Integration Mid-Stage in less than a thousand years of cultivation, they could be considered a genius within the Sea Giant race.

But even among geniuses, there are levels.

The person before them, looking across the entire Integration Stage of the Sea Giant race, was ranked in the top fifteen in terms of talent and strength.

They were absolutely incomparable.

In front of such a person, their meager talent was not worth mentioning at all; how could they dare to retort?

Whoosh!

The moment the words of that Integration Stage Perfection Sea Giant race Cultivator fell, they were already less than fifty zhang away from Wang Jianqiang.

They looked at Wang Jianqiang indifferently, their gaze devoid of the slightest ripple.

It was just like looking at a piece of prey destined to die.

"Ant-like thing, you have caused the deaths of two of my Sea Giant race's heaven-gifted talents; you should be proud of yourself."

"Go to hell!"

Their tone was cold and calm as they slowly extended their palm and reached forward.

Wang Jianqiang, whether he had failed to react or was scared silly, did not flee at the first moment when faced with the attack from this Integration Stage Perfection Cultivator.

"Knowing that death is certain when facing me, you aren't running anymore?"

"You do have some self-awareness."

The attacking Integration Stage Perfection Cultivator sneered, their palm reaching forward without the slightest hesitation.

Just at this moment.

Wang Jianqiang, who had not made a single move, suddenly acted.

He waved his palm.

A pitch-black bead flew out, appearing before the Integration Stage Perfection Cultivator in the blink of an eye.

This bead was precisely one of those Disposable Magic Treasures he had seized from Mingyan back then.

It was powerful enough to blow a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator to death.

"What is this?"

The Integration Stage Perfection Cultivator frowned.

Out of an instinctive contempt for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, they did not dodge at the first moment.

Instead, full of confidence, they grabbed that bead.

Intending to crush it.

However, the next moment, before they could exert any force, the bead automatically exploded.

Boom!

The terrifying power instantly raged outward.

This Integration Stage Perfection Sea Giant race Cultivator could not even let out a sound before being torn apart by the force of the explosion; their Nascent Soul shattered into dots of Spiritual Power filling the sky before it could even manifest.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for slaying one Integration Stage Perfection Cultivator, Origin Essence +4."

The instant this Integration Stage Perfection Cultivator fell, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out in Wang Jianqiang's mind.

Hearing this voice, Wang Jianqiang's expression turned joyful.

As expected!

The system had undergone a new update.

A sliver of his consciousness instantly entered his mind to check the Attribute Panel.

"Origin Essence: Can accelerate the fusion of the Nascent Soul and the Primordial Spirit."

Accelerate the fusion of the Nascent Soul and the Primordial Spirit?

Upon reaching the Integration Initial Stage, the Nascent Soul is only initially fused with the Primordial Spirit, and isn't the entire cultivation content of the Integration Stage meant to make the Nascent Soul and Primordial Spirit completely fuse?

In other words.

This Origin Essence is similar in function to a Primordial Spirit Origin Fragment.

It is a treasure that can accelerate the cultivation of Integration Stage Cultivators!

Just as Wang Jianqiang felt joy over the system's update, Lanchi had already fallen into a stupor.

That was the top genius of their Sea Giant race.

Just like that, blown to death?

Although Disposable Magic Treasures powerful enough to blow a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator to death were precious, they were not something Lanchi had never seen before.

But all things in heaven and earth must abide by balance.

Normally, to trigger a Disposable Magic Treasure of this power, even if not a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator, one would at least need to be at the Integration Stage Perfection level.

Yet that bead only required a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator to trigger it!

This was the most astonishing part.

Such a Magic Treasure is far more precious than other treasures of the same power!

I never expected the Mermaid Princess to value this person so much, even being willing to give him such a precious treasure!

Lanchi cast a glance at the battlefield in the center of the fray without changing his expression.

A Nascent Soul Stage cultivator could not possibly obtain such a precious Magic Treasure.

After thinking it over, it could only have been a gift from the Mermaid Princess.

Immediately after.

A wave of lingering fear washed over his heart.

Fortunately, the other party had not used this bead to blast him earlier; otherwise, he would likely have capsized in the gutter.

At the same time.

The surrounding battle also stalled due to the massive fluctuations caused by the bead's explosion.

Everyone looked toward the site of the explosion with faces full of astonishment.

"Bastards!"

"Kill this ant!"

After a moment of silence, several Sea Giant cultivators were the first to react.

The next moment.

The few of them simultaneously abandoned their respective opponents and charged toward Wang Jianqiang.

Although that Disposable Magic Treasure was powerful, such a precious item—for a mere Nascent Soul Stage cultivator to possess one for self-protection was already astonishing.

They did not believe Wang Jianqiang had any more on him.

Furthermore.

Even if he did, they were not afraid.

Although that Disposable Magic Treasure could be activated by a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, the weaker the strength, the more time it clearly took to activate such a Disposable Magic Treasure.

This time gap was enough for them to dodge with ease.

The reason their clansman had been blown to death earlier was simply because he had been too careless.

Seeing the few Sea Giant cultivators charging toward Wang Jianqiang with murderous intent, the surrounding Mermaid Clan cultivators hurriedly called out warnings with anxious faces.

They wanted to provide support, but they were all tightly entangled and unable to break free for the moment.

Wang Jianqiang withdrew his consciousness from his Soul Sea.

His gaze fell upon the several tall figures rapidly approaching.

He suddenly waved his palm.

An Array Disk flew out, turning into specks of Spirit Light that merged into the void.

The several Sea Giant powerhouses charging over were startled, an inexplicable sense of foreboding rising in their hearts.

"That Array Disk doesn't seem simple."

"Retreat quickly."

One of the Sea Giant cultivators hesitated for a moment and spoke.

The other Sea Giant cultivators heard this and nodded cautiously.

Immediately after.

The few of them retreated at high speed.

However, just as they were retreating rapidly, Wang Jianqiang suddenly turned and fled in another direction.

The few of them stopped in their tracks, their expressions turning ugly.

"Damn it, we were tricked by him, chase!"

With faces full of rage, they erupted with their full speed and continued to pursue Wang Jianqiang.

Yet, not long after they had given chase.

A wave of power suddenly emanated from the surroundings, and immediately, a light screen suddenly appeared, enveloping them within it.

"This is the Array formed by that Array Disk from earlier!"

"This Array wasn't fake; it was lying dormant in the void and only activated when we arrived!"

"We... have been played again!!"
