The leading old Magician shattered into dust, the two behind him wearing expressions that suggested they had no time to react!

They had considered that they might attract attention from above and be attacked, but they hadn’t anticipated it would happen so abruptly.

Logically, the Ancient Worm should not have many Yakshas in its possession; to rapidly exterminate the Ancient Sorcerers above, it would likely strike where there were crowds.

As for those in the underground palace, who couldn’t escape for the time being, even if they were discovered, they shouldn’t have been targeted so swiftly.

But everything seemed completely different from what they had expected!

Casting Techniques were the classic moves of the Yakshas when slaying enemies at sea. With their immense strength, the Yakshas could, using their tridents made of special materials together with concentrated force, kill dragon whales from tens of thousands of feet away!

This was the trump card of the Yaksha King, typically reserved for critical situations because the force was overwhelming, activating a certain metal within the trident upon use, which would lead to its damage.

Indeed, the next instant, the trident that pulverized the leading old Magician also shattered to pieces.

"Really ruthless....."

Chen Qing quickly retreated using the Divine Wind Sorcery!

Now that the upper realm had gathered ninety percent of the West Sea’s Ancient Sorcerers, eliminating this group would allow Elder Shen to control the situation in the Dragon Palace.

If Chen Qing’s guess was correct, that fellow could control at most five Yakshas.

Facing these hundreds of Ancient Sorcerers, killing them all would be somewhat difficult.

Using such weapon-damaging Techniques should not be possible unless it was a critical moment. And yet, the moment that fellow sensed Chen Qing’s presence here, he didn’t hesitate to let his subordinates unleash their powerful moves!

Of course, the effect was within Chen Qing’s expectations, all this was part of his calculations.

Using his own blood to establish a contract for the Technique was not because he distrusted the old man’s Technique, but rather, he used the blood of the Ancient Worm to draw Elder Shen’s attention to his location.

He used the blood given by Princess Royale Siao Mingyue; to Elder Shen, Siao Mingyue was the greatest threat at the moment.

His immediate use of full strength to attempt a kill was only natural!

"Retreat!" The two Ancient Sorcerers didn’t hesitate to fall back, turning into a strange ink that quickly blended into the current and retreated.

Chen Qing then abruptly turned his gaze to the two Dragon Maiden’s Eyes that were blasted away.

Activating the Divine Wind Technique, Chen Qing also didn’t hesitate to invoke his last bit of faith power, enveloping himself in a force of thunder in an instant. In the next moment, he dashed towards the two Dragon Maiden’s Eyes at an incredibly exaggerated speed!

"Chen Qing?"

From a distance, looking at the guy swift as lightning, the long-absent Elder Shen furrowed his brow.

He thought it was that member of the Siao Family who had arrived, which startled him. After all, according to the distribution, that person should be in the Southern Sea; he almost thought his opponent had succeeded in Dragon Transformation and had immediately come to trouble him.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Chen Qing. What was this guy doing...?

The speed at which Chen Qing moved was so fast that even Elder Shen’s eyes struggled to keep up.

"Master..." spoke the Yaksha protecting him, "Those are the Dragon Maiden’s Eyes!"

"Oh?" Elder Shen’s eyes lit up. Good stuff! Memory served that the Dragon Maiden’s Eyes were among the top treasures of the Dragon Palace. The eyes would be preserved after every Dragon Maiden’s death, said to have the effect of creating top-quality white jade.

"Chase!" Elder Shen immediately ordered.

"But master, this side..."

At those words, Elder Shen frowned. The Dragon Transformation Objects in this palace had attracted a large number of Ancient Sorcerers.

He had searched quietly and found that ninety percent of the Ancient Sorcerers were gathered here.

Killing them would eliminate the biggest variable of the West Sea Dragon Palace.

If he let them go this time and some escaped, he feared it would be a long time before he could find such sneaky things again.

After all, many of these Ancient Sorcerers were even older than him, possessing numerous odd and ancient Techniques. If faced head-on, they were naturally no match for him, but if they hid, he might really be unable to find them.

"Old Five, Old Liu, and Old Two take care of this place. You and Ah Da follow me and continue the chase!"

"Yes, master!"

After the Yaksha responded, he immediately chased after Chen Qing with Elder Shen, turning into a bolt of black lightning.

And in the shadows, two streaks of black water rose rapidly, communicating with each other through their consciousness, "What’s the situation?"

"That kid seems determined to get his hands on the Dragon Maiden’s Eyes; he actually dares to continue pursuing those eyes even in this situation."

"So, what do we do? How do we handle this?"

"Handle this? Of course, we pursue!" one of the voices said irritably: "Elder Shen is dead, and the Dragon Maiden’s Eyes are gone. The only one who might know any clues is that kid. We must keep him alive at all costs!"

"Alright!"

The two streaks of black water suddenly shot towards the place where Elder Shen had vanished at an extreme speed.

Above the underground palace, a group of Ancient Sorcerers saw the killing god leave and screamed to flee, but the three Yakshas that remained would not let them escape easily.

Wielding their Tridents, they launched a massacre against the Sorcerers above!

Meanwhile, in the lower levels of the underground palace, Murong Yunji hid in the shadows...

Chen Qing, that guy managed to actually lead them away!

When she was about to make a move earlier, Chen Qing said he could lead them away. She thought he was joking, but he actually did it. The key thing was he not only led away those troublesome creatures below, but even Elder Shen from outside had been lured away.

Recalling the scene she had just witnessed, a desire to become stronger once again surged within Murong Yunji.

In the chase between Chen Qing and those monsters, she, the Prairie Wind King renowned for her speed, could not even make out their movements clearly. At that moment, she realized that either Chen Qing or Elder Shen could kill her in an instant.

She... didn’t even have the qualifications to face off against them!

She had always believed she could be among the top ten strongest in the world...

Now, it seemed she had been looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.

Sighing, Murong Yunji looked at the huge machine behind her and murmured, "You better not fail me, kid. Chen Qing has staked everything he has on you!"

--------------------------------

"What method is this guy using to be so fast?"

The pursuing Yaksha, eyes red with rage and veins bulging on its bulging muscles, still couldn’t catch up!

Anger in its heart mixed with disbelief, after taking over the Yaksha’s body, they could feel how strong they were. Facing an entire nation’s army by themselves, they were confident they could wipe them all out, it would just take some time!

Yet they hadn’t anticipated that despite their seemingly invincible bodies, they couldn’t catch up to that kid!

"I’ve seen this technique!" Elder Shen narrowed his eyes: "He used this power when he was dueling with Duke of Qin, Lumings. It startled me then; the kid I hadn’t taken seriously had such capability. Now I’m even more surprised, as he clearly hadn’t gone all out at that time!"

At this moment, Chen Qing was obviously faster than before. It was evident to him that the other party was not only using that strange thunderous power but had also employed the Divine Wind Technique!

Such a top-notch powerful being was likely ranked among the top two within the Human Race, truly adept at hiding his strength.

"But no need to worry..." Elder Shen murmured softly, "No matter how powerful he is, he can’t possibly be Transcendent. His body can’t sustain this force for long."

Sure enough, just as Elder Shen had finished speaking, Chen Qing’s outer body began to show fine cracks, with several spots even starting to bleed profusely!

Chen Qing frowned...

He had reached his limit!
