Oscar's eyes widened in horror. Ning Rongrong covered her mouth while trembling violently.
Tang San's pupils contracted sharply. Meanwhile, Qian Renxue merely glanced at the remains indifferently.
Then she sighed lightly in disappointment.
"How utterly boring…"
She lazily lifted the Seagod Trident and began filing her fingernails against one of its sharp edges.
Clink… clink…
The sound echoed strangely within the blood-soaked hall.
"You should at least struggle a little after I choose you."
Sob…
Ning Rongrong finally broke down completely.
Tears streamed down her face as she stared at the scattered remains of Dai Mubai.
The metallic smell of blood mixed with the grotesque scene before her made her stomach churn endlessly.
Oscar stood beside her stiffly, not even daring to breathe loudly.
His entire body had gone cold. He had a terrifying feeling that if he made even the slightest unnecessary movement, the smiling woman before them would casually tear him apart as well.
Tang San slowly clenched his fists. The veins on the back of his hands bulged slightly.
At this moment, he finally understood something.
In his memories, although Spirit Hall had been ruthless and ambitious, they still followed certain rules. Even when Bibi Dong had killed him in the future timeline, she had permitted his companions to retrieve his corpse for burial. Without that chance, he would never have obtained the opportunity to resurrect later.
However after defeating Spirit Hall in the future, Tang San had erased their legacy completely and stained their reputation for ten thousand years in the future.
But all of his future achievements relied upon one condition. His enemies had still behaved according to reason.
Yet the Qian Renxue standing before him now…Was completely different. Her actions carried no logic.
She was like a lunatic capable of doing anything on a whim.
That was what truly terrified Tang San.
Because against such an enemy, many of the methods and confidence he possessed from his future memories suddenly seemed useless.
Qian Renxue looked at Tang San quietly. Then she suddenly asked a question out of nowhere.
"You must have been very satisfied with the strength you reached."
Her voice sounded soft, almost curious.
Qian Renxue slowly raised a finger and pointed toward him.
"But now…"
"That strength suddenly seems meaningless, doesn't it?"
Tang San's pupils contracted. The next instant—
An overwhelming pressure descended entirely upon him.
Crack!
The ground beneath Tang San shattered instantly.
His knees slammed heavily into the floor.
Even with both divine inheritances protecting him, he could barely resist the terrifying force crushing down upon his body.
Tang San gritted his teeth so hard that blood leaked from the corners of his mouth.
Yet Qian Renxue merely observed him as though she were watching an insignificant insect struggle pointlessly.
Tang San suddenly felt a chill run through his entire body.
Just as Tang San felt the shadow of death closing around him, two foreign divine powers suddenly erupted from within his body.
One carried the endless vastness of the ocean. The other radiated overwhelming slaughter and killing intent.
The terrifying pressure instantly spread throughout the underground hall.
Blue and crimson divine light intertwined together as two silhouettes gradually materialized before Tang San.
The phantoms of Sea God and Asura God appeared before everyone, with divine energy of oceanic authority and slaughter emanating from their figures.
Sea God glanced at Tang San before speaking with a calm expression,
"I had a hunch Tang San would encounter danger after returning to the continent."
Then he turned slightly toward Asura God.
"See? I was correct, Asura."
Asura God immediately scoffed.
"You had a hunch?"
His crimson eyes narrowed slightly.
"We both deliberately left behind divine intents overflowing with enough energy to unleash a full-powered strike."
His tone became colder.
"Moreover…"
Asura God slowly shifted his gaze toward Qian Renxue. She stood there quietly, appearing to listen to them with interest.
"It was already predictable that a certain mouse would target Tang San after he returned from your Sea God Island."
The underground hall fell silent for a moment.
Then—
"Hahaha!"
Qian Renxue suddenly burst into laughter. She pointed the Seagod Trident toward the two gods while laughing uncontrollably.
"You gods are truly amusing."
Her golden eyes curved slightly.
"Didn't the two of you just crawl out from the burrow named Tang San yourselves?"
"Just like mice."
The expressions of both divine intents darkened immediately.
Sea God's divine energy surged violently. Oceanic pressure filled the surroundings as he coldly exclaimed,
"Insolence!"
"Return the Seagod Trident!"
As he spoke, he secretly activated the hidden authority he possessed over the divine weapon.
However—
Nothing happened. The trident remained firmly in Qian Renxue's hand without moving even slightly.
Sea God's pupils shrank faintly.
Meanwhile, Asura God let out a mocking snort.
"Poseidon."
"It seems you are losing your touch."
The next instant, his divine power condensed rapidly.
A crimson sword formed within his grasp, overflowing with slaughter intent capable of shaking souls.
Poseidon also gathered divine energy.
An azure trident manifested in his hand as endless ocean waves roared faintly around him.
The atmosphere instantly became incomparably tense.
Even Tang San could feel the terrifying destructive power hidden within those two divine intents.
Yet Qian Renxue merely watched them with a smile. Then golden divine energy slowly began spreading around her body.
Her smile widened gradually.
"Now…"
"Now this is more like it."
It seemed that at any moment, an earth-shattering clash between gods would erupt.
However—Just as the divine powers were about to collide—
Pop… pop… pop…
Qian Renxue's body suddenly transformed into countless colorful dream bubbles that floated gently through the air before disappearing one after another.
The underground hall instantly became silent.
Only the corpses and blood remaining everywhere proved that everything moments ago had been real.
