Chapter 698 – One Has to Die, the Legend of the Ink Sea (1/2)

“Like what I said. You’ll die ahead of me. Even this woman doesn’t hold high hopes for you!” Li Qingshan suddenly laughed and sneered at Mo Yu again.

Mo Yu said flatly, “Today, regardless of whether I survive or die, you will definitely die. However, there’s no need for the dragon king to take action personally.”

They both happened to be rather unconvinced over Gu Yanying’s judgement. Mo Yu obviously did not think he would die. It was the exact opposite actually. He was still holding back, and he was prepared to overwhelm and kill Northmoon as long as Gu Yanying did not obstruct him.

Li Qingshan believed that once he killed Mo Yu, all he had to do was conceal his aura properly and go back to being a Scarlet Hawk commander, and that would be enough. No matter how powerful the Dragon King of Ink Sea was, where was he supposed to find him? His only worry was that Gu Yanying might sell him out.

Both of them happened to look at Gu Yanying at the same time. The resolve in their eyes went without saying. They wanted to continue this battle until someone died.

“Foolish men!” Gu Yanying brought her hand to her forehead and sighed. She shook her head. “Alright. Since you insist, I definitely won’t be interrupting this battle.”

Gu Yanying chose to back away, moving away from Calm Wave lake. She spectated from the pavilion on the mountain to the western bank of Calm Wave lake, expressing her absolute neutrality. As a White Hawk commander, she should have been overjoyed to see two powerful Daemon Commanders become wrapped up in internal strife. She had already lived up to her responsibility to them by speaking up and telling them to stop.

“Big sis, they don’t want to stop?”

In the pavilion, Si Bao leaned on the railing and gazed into the distance, lifting up her thick brows slightly. A battle on such a level was extremely rare in this day and age.

“They’re not going to stop until someone dies this time.”

Gu Yanying nodded. She, who had always been so graceful and unworried, was quite solemn right now. Although she had never planned on becoming lovers with anyone, more friends always guaranteed a larger network she could access. Whether it was Mo Yu or Li Qingshan, they were both very important to her.

“Big sis, you don’t have to worry. According to my observations, it’ll end in a draw at most. Without using any abilities, Mo Yu can’t even touch a hair on Northmoon, which really makes me question how he cultivated. He has actually already reached Daemon Commander, and he’s just a mess of strength.”

Si Bao calmly analysed her observations from their clash earlier. She was skilled with actual combat, and her words were convincing. To her, this battle would end in neither victory nor defeat at most.

“You underestimate the two of them too much. Mo Yu still has a chance to kill Northmoon, but once he fails, Northmoon will kill him. Northmoon thinks he can escape the dragon king’s pursuit, but he won’t be capable of that.”

Gu Yanying leaned on her hands and the railing, gazing at the two figures on the horizon.

“Really? I’ll have to take another look… If it really does end up like what you said, big sis, then you won’t be able to make use of them!” Si Bao smiled.

“Yeah, all I can do is make use of you.”

Gu Yanying extended her hand to pinch Si Bao’s nose. She was only joking when she said she would make use of them. Over these years of contact, she personally believed she had not let down any of them. If it were just being used one-sidedly, why would they maintain their relationship? It was not like they were idiots.

She would help neither this time. She felt very much at ease.

“This time, she won’t be able to save you,” Mo Yu said flatly.

“Yeah. Originally, she could have saved you this time, except you’re not clever enough.”

Li Qingshan smiled. If Mo Yu had agreed to a ceasefire, he would not pursue a battle relentlessly, basically doing it for Gu Yanying’s sake. He would hope to not actually push the Dragon King of Ink Sea over the edge, where he would come out in person to hunt him down. However, Mo Yu was clearly determined to kill him, so he would definitely use this opportunity to bring this to an end.

As he spoke, he smoothed all of his thoughts, like smoothing out every single ripple on the surface of the lake. Against Mo Yu who could appear anywhere, he actually closed his eyes like that.

Here!

His mind rippled slightly and developed an obscure feeling. Li Qingshan suddenly struck out, punching out diagonally towards his right back.

Mo Yu had just shifted there, prepared to launch a sneak attack and disturb Li Qingshan, but he never expected a fist to flow over the moment he appeared. He was unable to dodge in time at all.

With a great boom, the punch landed right on Mo Yu’s chest. Even the air split open, becoming riddled with cracks. Mo Yu’s body could already be regarded as tough among Daemon Commanders, but Li Qingshan’s iron fists were unstoppable. He had still been blown away viciously, his chest rupturing and becoming riddled with vicious wounds. However, there were no organs inside, only a pitch-black liquid like ink that had been stirred up viciously into a mess.

Li Qingshan was about to go after him, but Mo Yu had already teleported several hundred meters away. He stared at him in doubt and surprise and thought, Was it luck?

Si Bao let out an interjection of surprise as she spectated the battle. She saw it very clearly. Northmoon’s punch did not land out of luck; instead, it was filled with confidence. Had he grasped the patterns of Mo Yu’s movements during the battle? But that did not seem too likely.

Gu Yanying explained to alleviate her doubts, “Didn’t I tell you before? He has the ability to obscure the heavenly secrets and avoid being divined, which also means he can carry out some divination.”
