Pretending To Be A Boss

It was as if the space beneath this deep sea was beginning to slowly collapse.

Tang Xian thought this scene probably resembled his duel with Nether Phoenix. But in reality, it was even more exaggerated.

The obsessive entity of Nether Phoenix, without the boost of the Underworld Gorge, was not as powerful as Junlin.

The bodies of Junlin and Red Emperor were extremely formidable and terrifying. In the battle in the Divine Sea, they both seemed unbound by gravity, clashing on the seabed at times, and leaping to more than a hundred yards into the sky at other times.

So swift was their speed and so vast their range that only Tang Xian could keep up with every detail of the battle.

As the entire battlefield continued to collapse, it seemed that both Red Emperor and Junlin had noticed.

After hundreds of mighty clashes of power, they started to deliberately move upward—towards the deeper ocean zones.

Tang Xian and the sea demon immediately followed, the sea demon's face flushed with excitement, revealing a crazed look of thrill.

Such a level of combat had not been witnessed by it in hundreds of years.

It could not imagine that in this world, there was someone who could directly confront the Red Emperor.

This was what truly shocked the sea beasts.

The might of Junlin was beyond imagination. The intense back and forth seemed indecisive, but Tang Xian and some of the top sea beasts could see—

Junlin was suppressing the Red Emperor!

Their silhouettes parted several times, and the Red Emperor always seemed to retreat a bit further.

From the Divine Sea into the deep ocean areas, numerous sea beasts merely sensing the presence of Junlin and the Red Emperor, were already panicked and fleeing.

The fierce punches of Junlin and the blade-like flashes of its wings left the Red Emperor weary of defense.

Finally, unable to defend, the Red Emperor was pushed back over a hundred yards in a single breath.

With that retreat, Tang Xian saw the red mountain-like Ghost Corals of the deep sea area starting to shatter in succession.

The entire deep sea was enshrouded in red light, and the seawater was filled with the fragments of Ghost Coral.

[Retreat? Red Emperor, is this all you have? What a joke! Come fight!]

The domineering roar echoed through the deep sea zone, as Junlin, with the stance of a ferocious ghost in battle frenzy, became the existence feared in the hearts of all sea beasts.

For the first time, they witnessed the Red Emperor being driven back in direct combat.

The eyes of the Red Emperor sparkled with excitement, for it had not encountered such a powerful opponent in a long time.

"Just warming up. Now it's time to get serious."

The red voice charged once more, as energy of red hue gathered on Red Emperor's body, emanating from the depths of the Soul Crystal.

This time, Tang Xian felt as though he saw a knight bearing a blood-red lance, ready to pierce through his opponent.

At the same time, a smile formed on the corners of Junlin's mouth.

This is truly a battle worthy of me! Utterly exhilarating! Utterly exhilarating!

It leapt up, swinging its fists to meet the enemy.

Black energy coiled around its body like a black tyrannosaurus charging at its opponent.

This assault, compared to the previous continuous exchanges, appeared much slower.

But just as Nether Phoenix felt like a mountain was bearing down upon seeing Tang Xian's iron fist coming towards it, Tang Xian, from a distance, also saw the tangible momentum formed by the terrifying power within Red Emperor and Junlin's bodies at that moment.

The blood-red lance pierced through the tyrannosaurus!

Red Emperor shouted, and the sound was like thunder falling from the ninth heaven.

Junlin's body also seemed to be impaled, the lance having penetrated the tyrannosaurus, yet the tyrannosaurus did not stop!

[Thrilling! Thrilling!]

Red Emperor's fists went through Junlin's abdomen, but Junlin didn't defend, instead pouring even more tyrannical power onto the Red Emperor.

The two figures parted once more.

This time, like two meteors going in opposite directions, Junlin, once surrounded by black mist, was now flickering with red light, crashing heavily from the deep sea zone down to the Divine Sea zone.

Red Emperor was not faring any better, its mask shattered, revealing a ferocious face, its body once shimmering with red light, now entwined with black fog.

Two figures, one red and one black, fell from the deepest parts of the deep sea zone back into the Divine Sea area.

The originally violent battlefield did not calm down with the descent of the two figures.

For the bottom of the great sea trembled violently due to the intense impact.

...

...

On the surface of the Hungry Sea.

Tang Xiaojiu was watching the expanse of sea shimmering with faint red light, with Tang Feiji by her side, and Yuan Wu and Tang a little behind, intently watching the two young contestants.

Although Tang Xiaojiu and Tang Feiji were ostensibly the strongest combatants, their behavior always made Yuan Wu and Tang somewhat concerned.

"Uncle Feiji, there are so many fish," Tang Xiaojiu pointed at the school of fish leaping not far from the sea surface and said.

Tang Feiji frowned. Wasn't it very normal to have many fish in the sea? This child was always making a big fuss over nothing.

As a mature adult, he appeared quite unruffled.

Then, Tang also noted:

"Big fish, many. Waves, very rush."

Yuan Wu nodded; he had noticed it too.

They had been waiting here for several days, ever since Tang Xian went down to the sea for his task, they had been doing nothing on the surface.

Yuan Wu was alright; he would occasionally return to Baichuan City to update some information.

But observing for several days, the group felt that the Hungry Sea was very perilous. The sea appeared more turbulent here than elsewhere.

Fish schools would also emerge from time to time.

But today's situation was truly unusual.

"Are those the sea beasts from the deep sea? Why would they come to the shallow areas?" Yuan Wu looked towards Tang Feiji.

He was unsure, and now, it seemed, Tang Feiji, being the older member of the children's team, had a better understanding of the sea beasts.
