Chapter 306

However, before anyone could react, Until Hong Zun, who was below, shouted angrily.

They were only able to enter the array thanks to the Bone-Burial Pill and the Heaven-Annihilation Array.

The Bone-Burial Pill concealed their bone age, and the Heaven-Annihilation Array sealed their cultivation, allowing them to enter the offshore camp.

And now, Qingshi had undone the Heaven-Annihilation Array, meaning they could no longer enter the camp; staying in the East Sea, even with Saint Realm Perfect Completion cultivation, would definitely lead to a dead end.

No matter how strong you are, how many Demon Kings can you fight? Three, or five?

But there were at least dozens of Demon Kings in the East Sea, and because he couldn't enter the array, Qingshi had nowhere to run and no chance to return to the Eastern Continent, making his death certain.

At this moment, the usual playful expression was gone from Until Hong Zun's eyes, replaced by anxiety and worry, and he couldn't help but curse madly in his heart.

"What a damn idiot, a fool; I really want to slap you to death. What do we do now?"

Until Hong Zun was truly anxious, while on the other side, the Crab King, having been repelled, regained its senses and looked at Qingshi standing before it, its eyes filled with shock.

"Qingshi..."

It then turned its head to look below, its expression turning gloomy.

"Until Hong Zun..."

Even the Peak Master of the Divine Jianfeng had come; the Crab King was deeply shocked.

In that case, the Divine Jianfeng had clearly come prepared; could it be that the Daoyi Sect had sensed something?

Meanwhile, Qingshi turned his head to look at Until Hong Zun.

"Quickly take the disciples back; I will block them here."

"Go to hell, can't you tell me before you do something?"

Facing Qingshi's words, Until Hong Zun didn't even think before cursing angrily.

He naturally knew that Qingshi had undone the Heaven-Annihilation Array to protect the disciples' retreat, but what would happen to him afterward?

Until Hong Zun's eyes were red, but Qingshi smiled slightly.

"At a time like this, you still want to scold me?"

"I..."

"Alright, take the disciples back; don't forget you are the Peak Master of the Divine Jianfeng."

Qingshi had traded his own life for the chance for everyone to retreat; hearing this, Until Hong Zun gritted his teeth, looked at the surrounding Divine Jianfeng disciples, and finally said in a deep voice.

"Old thing, wait for me."

After saying this, he prepared to lead the disciples back toward the camp.

Seeing the Divine Jianfeng disciples about to leave, the Crab King let out an angry roar and launched another attack.

"Want to leave? Did you ask me?"

"No need to ask you."

The next second, Qingshi acted, repelling the Crab King once more.

With only Demon King Realm minor completion cultivation, the Crab King was naturally no match for Qingshi, who was at Saint Realm Perfect Completion.

But this was only temporary; once the other aquatic Demon Kings returned, Qingshi would surely die.

Looking back repeatedly at Qingshi's retreating figure, Until Hong Zun felt immense grief.

Don't let their usual bickering fool you; that was just a sign of their close relationship.

Clenching his fists, Until Hong Zun shouted loudly.

"Old thing, don't die; wait for me."

He had already decided that once he sent the disciples back to the camp, he would return; even if he died, he would not leave Qingshi alone to face the aquatic Demon Kings—if they were to die, the two brothers would die together.

Hearing the shout from behind, Qingshi laughed.

"Old drunkard, how many years have we known each other?"

"Can't remember, a few thousand years, I suppose."

"Do you still remember what you called me when we first met?"

Hearing this, Until Hong Zun fell silent, his mind involuntarily recalling their first encounter.

Back then, although Qingshi was a rogue cultivator, his strength was not weak; they had fought over a spiritual herb, and Until Hong Zun, who had just joined the Daoyi Sect, was beaten half to death by Qingshi.

But it was precisely because of this that they became acquainted, and back then, Until Hong Zun had always called Qingshi "Brother Qing."

Scenes of the past flashed by; Until Hong Zun had almost forgotten these things, but looking at Qingshi, who was once again facing the Crab King, Until Hong Zun finally spoke.

"Brother Qing..."

Hard-clashing with the Crab King, the smile on Qingshi's face grew even happier as he replied.

"Brother Hong."

In the past, if Qingshi had called him that, Until Hong Zun would have exploded, but this time, Until Hong Zun nodded in response.

"Aye..."

Just like when they were young.
