Chapter 1751 - 1748: Mantis Shrimp, Let’s Go!
Upon hearing the Dragon Girl’s words, Li Chen crossed his arms and said, "What, you don’t accept it?"
Caiyue reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her fur bristling instantly.
"Of course I don’t! Let’s go again!"
Before her voice had faded, her small palm struck the water fiercely, creating a rolling wave that rushed toward Li Chen.
Li Chen’s lips curved into a slight, serene smile.
"Since you don’t accept it, I’ll keep fighting until you do!"
As he spoke, Li Chen flicked his finger, sending out a Sword Intent that spanned across the rainbow, charging directly toward Caiyue.
Having fought Li Chen earlier, Caiyue was already aware of Li Chen’s terrifying mastery in Sword Dao.
Thus, she treated this sword strike with heightened vigilance, dealing with it cautiously.
However, unexpectedly, even with maximum alertness and caution,
she still fell into Li Chen’s trap.
There was nothing she could do, as Li Chen’s swordsmanship had reached an astonishing level, making it nearly impossible to defend against.
Perhaps an old monster like Star Cloud Ancestor, after living nearly a hundred thousand years, could use his experience for accurate prediction.
But for a newcomer like Caiyue, no matter how gifted, it was inevitable to fall prey to a seasoned veteran like Li Chen.
"Splash!"
Caiyue again was defeated by Li Chen, knocked into the water, splashing everywhere.
Still, she refused to yield.
Following were the second, third, fourth times...
And each time Li Chen defeated her, it was with a different approach, making her defeat feel rhythmic.
Even the proud and arrogant Little Princess of the Dragon Clan, Caiyue, had to accept defeat.
In the end, she simply stopped getting up, sitting in the water like a wronged little girl, with tears in her eyes as she cried:
"Boo hoo, you’re bullying me!"
Facing the tearful Caiyue, Li Chen showed no sympathy, coldly saying: "You refused to accept it yourself, don’t blame me!"
Seeing herself so wronged, not only did Li Chen not console her, he mocked her, which made Caiyue scream in frustration, causing the surrounding sea to feel turned upside down.
Suddenly, Li Chen’s expression froze slightly.
He sensed a powerful aura approaching.
If he guessed correctly, it should be the Clan Leader of the Black Dragon Tribe.
Although Li Chen hadn’t dealt with this Black Dragon, judging by his years of experience, the Black Dragon Clan Leader’s cultivation should have reached the Tribulation Crossing Third Level.
Besides, the Dragon Clan naturally possesses a strong physique.
This is also the sea area, his main battlefield.
Thus, even a cultivator of the Tribulation Crossing Fourth Level would find it hard to gain much advantage against the Black Dragon Clan Leader here.
Li Chen’s cultivation was only in the Late Stage of Mahayana, although he could use Meteorite Heart as a trump card to overpower Star Cloud Ancestor.
But Star Cloud Ancestor’s cultivation was only at the Tribulation Crossing First Level, ten combined wouldn’t match the Black Dragon Clan Leader.
If involved in a fight with the Black Dragon Clan Leader, even with his trump cards fully revealed, it would be hard to last more than three or five rounds.
Considering this, Li Chen hesitated no longer and immediately warned Li Mengjiao, Snow Princess, and others.
"They’re coming after us, hurry and go!"
After speaking, he paid no more attention to Caiyue, his silhouette transformed into a lightning bolt, fleeing into the distance.
Master Jingkong, Snow Princess, Li Mengjiao, and others, upon witnessing this scene, realized the seriousness of the situation.
Immediately, they exchanged glances without further words, exerting all their might, surpassing their speed limits, and fled desperately.
Li Chen and his companions had hardly left for long when they saw a fierce and unmatched black cloud forming on the horizon.
The black cloud pressed down on the city, seeming to suppress the entire sea.
Moreover, the previously raging sea suddenly dared not make even a ripple.
In an instant, the entire world fell into a deathly silence.
The previous minions couldn’t withstand such terrifying pressure and all dove into the depths of the ocean.
Momentarily, only King mantis shrimp and Dragon Girl Caiyue remained on the sea.
Caiyue looked at the oppressive black cloud, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.
"Uncle Black Dragon, why is he here?"
Before Caiyue’s words settled, a massive dragon with black Scale Armor tearing through the void appeared above.
When he landed on the water, he transformed into a human shape.
The Black Dragon Clan Leader looked at Caiyue and King mantis shrimp in surprise.
"Niece Caiyue, why are you here? Did you sneak out behind your father’s back again?"
Caiyue, feeling guilty like a thief, immediately pouted and said, "Uncle Black Dragon, the Dragon Palace is too stuffy. I just came out for some air!"
After speaking, she pleaded: "Uncle Black Dragon, please don’t tell my father about this. Otherwise, he’ll lock me in the Underground Palace and make me reflect!"
Faced with the proud and unruly Caiyue, the Black Dragon Clan Leader felt somewhat helpless.
Soon, his bulging dragon eyes noticed the heavily wounded King mantis shrimp and the rather disheveled Caiyue, he asked seriously: "Caiyue, what happened here? Did you just have a fight?"
Caiyue nodded, responding: "Yes, a Human Clan cultivator bullied me!"
Upon hearing this, the Black Dragon Clan Leader’s interest piqued.
"A Human Clan cultivator? What does he look like?"
Caiyue tilted her small head, thinking for a moment, and simply described Li Chen’s appearance.
After a brief consideration, the Black Dragon Clan Leader continued to inquire: "Have you seen any other members of the Dragon Clan?"
Caiyue was momentarily dumbfounded by the question, blinking her watery eyes, she asked: "Other members of the Dragon Clan?"
At this moment, King mantis shrimp interjected, saying: "Clan Leader, the sword held by that Human Clan cultivator seems to have a dragon’s presence!"
Hearing this, the Black Dragon Clan Leader’s eyes brightened, eagerly asking: "Are you sure?"
King mantis shrimp didn’t expect the Black Dragon Clan Leader to react so intensely and was initially startled.
Immediately, he nodded vigorously like a pecking chicken.
"Yes, I’m sure!"
"The Princess also fought with that Human Clan youth, she must have noticed this point too!"
After saying this, King mantis shrimp threw a pleading look at Princess Caiyue.
Only then did Caiyue remember, it was indeed true.
"Uncle Black Dragon, who is that person, and why does he have our Dragon Clan’s presence?"
After a brief deliberation, the Black Dragon Clan Leader said: "I’m not sure about that Human Clan youth’s specific background. I only suspect he may have killed some of our Dragon Clan members and imprisoned the Dragon Soul for his undisclosed agendas!"
Hearing this, Caiyue stamped her foot in fury, shouting angrily: "Shameless! Killing our clan members and having the audacity to say he just passed by, truly shameless!"
"Uncle Black Dragon, I know where he went. I’ll chase him back now, and this time, I won’t stop until I’ve skinned him!"
Upon hearing this, the Black Dragon Clan Leader urgently advised, saying: "Niece Caiyue, that human is treacherous, you might not be his match. It’s best to return home obediently. Leave chasing the criminal to me!"
Nonetheless, Shui Yue ignored the advice, saying: "Uncle Black Dragon, don’t worry, I’ll be careful!"
After speaking, she leaped onto the back of King mantis shrimp, shouting loudly:
"Let’s go, mantis shrimp!"
