Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

"By the way! Chen Qi, where are we going next!"

At this moment, Little Crow touched his chin and said:

"In the recent danger, I had an epiphany! Soon, I'll be able to produce the Great Sage Potion!"

Next... Chen Qi thought about it.

He wanted to defeat the Ember Beast and Ada, and the first thing was Little Crow's Great Sage Potion.

Besides that, there's the Fourth Rank Occupation Card.

Currently, in the crack-sparse Sea Flower City, the only way to obtain a Fourth Rank Occupation Card is through Daphne and the Thorn Family.

He doesn't have much time left; the more he delays, the more likely danger can be contained.

Daphne... Chen Qi pondered.

Although Daphne was also tracking her, her force is the only one possessing Fourth Rank Occupation Cards.

He has to take the gamble... Chen Qi said:

"Find a place first, then contact Daphne."

"Daphne!"

Little Crow exclaimed.

Is Chen Qi crazy!

That's a Fifth Rank Transcendent! Their strength and spirit can no longer be described in human terms!

A Fifth Rank Transcendent cuts down people like cutting vegetables!

Even if Chen Qi is the most enchanting among enchanting demons, facing a Fifth Rank Transcendent won't do any good!

"Chen... you're truly a madman... but I'm a pirate now too!"

Little Crow twirled her hair with her finger:

"Once the plan is finalized, tell me, okay."

Though unwilling to admit it, Little Crow now didn't mind being used by Chen Qi, and even has a tiny bit of enjoyment.

After all, work is work, no matter where it's done.

Little Crow stretched lazily:

"At least for now, it's safe."

At this moment, Little Crow suddenly heard a ticking sound and swiftly turned to look at the corner of the alley.

In the corner of the alley, there's a man lying there motionless.

A tramp?

Little Crow wondered in his heart.

Suddenly, the man twisted his limbs like a puppet, creaking and charged towards Chen Qi.

"Vaku Vaku (Master! There's an enemy!!)"

"Watch out! Chen!"

Little Crow screamed.

Sharp blade qi drew a straight flower of blood from her neck.

"Blade Slash!"

A scarlet figure flashed out from the shadows, slashing Little Crow's chest.

If Water Elf One hadn't jumped in time to block the blow, Little Crow would now be in two pieces.

However, the attack was far from over!

A scarlet warning popped into Chen Qi's mind.

[On this road of forging legends, the shadows of the past won't let you go, like a hungry wolf scenting his prey, he found you.]

[However, this is the past's history, where your strength compared to his is negligible, like the ants on the ground!]

[Perhaps he once regretted why he didn't end you in the cradle sooner, sooner!]

[And now, this world has given him this once-in-a-lifetime chance again!]

[Acquire special mission: Survival.]

[Mission Description: Survive for one minute under the pursuit of another traveler, 'Blood Hunter'.

Mission Reward: Cracks evaluation enhancement, receive extra treasure chest reward at settlement.]

"Found you!"

The Blood Hunter's eyes burst with beastly red light and drew his second long blade from his waist, slashing forward.

Burst! Holy Light Skill! Chen Qi drew his Black Blade, daringly taking Blood Hunter's strike.

Clang!

The massive power gap jolted Chen Qi's arm in pain.

The enormous blade qi whipped by, carving dozens of meters of cracks on the street.

No less than two pedestrians died on the street immediately.

"Help!"

"Hunter Association! Save us!"

"Guards! There is a Fourth Rank Legend! There's a Legend attacking!"

The entire street immediately plunged into unprecedented panic.

The Blood Hunter ignored the crowd's wails, gently turning the 'Blood Blade' in his hand.

This is the knife he's proud of, capable of absorbing blood to greatly enhance the weapon's power.

Unfortunately, he has yet to upgrade the knife to the 'Unique Crack Item' level.

But even so, compared to his taboo weapon, Chen Qi's Black Blade is too fragile.

Even blocking this strike, the Black Blade has already developed massive cracks.

In the real world, the two of them are evenly matched.

But just as the crack's hint said, this will be pure numerical domination.

"What's your crack mission?"

Chen Qi asked while drinking the potion from his waist.

"To kill my former enemy. Once he kills him, he might also advance to Sixth Rank and become Divine."

The Blood Hunter replied:

"However, Whale Father's task is above even the task of the crack, and above the false hatred."

Upon seeing Chen Qi, the Blood Hunter unusually said a lot of words.

If he can't clear the crack, he will also die.

After killing Chen Qi here, he's afraid he will never have another chance to kill his past enemy, that unreachable foe.

Whale Father saved him, and he must repay Whale Father, even at the cost of his life.

"..."

The Blood Hunter drew the three blades at his waist:

"Black Hunter, I must offend you."

[You have taken the Deep Sea Demon Medicine...]

[You have taken the Shark Transformation Potion...]

Chen Qi downed all the potions made by Little Crow in one breath, his muscles tensed, and his strength erupted forth.

In the Witch Sea, a single person can take on the navy's monsters alone!

He is now like someone who's just left the newbie village, hasn't even defeated a slime, and is about to challenge the Demon King!

Now, he must rely on Little Crow's potions to battle the Blood Hunter in front of him.

Chen Qi discarded the potion bottle, initiating the attack.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Both sides clashed, creating thousands of rippling waves!

Unlike potions made by Fen, the potions made by Little Crow were packed with lethal doses!

Soon, his body reached its limit, bursting with unprecedented strength.

"Waku waku (Master! I come to aid you!)"

Water Elf One leapt up, charging toward the Blood Hunter.

With the Holy Light Skill borrowed from the Holy Light Knight... Chen Qi found an opportunity and slashed at the Blood Hunter's waist.

"Ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora!"

To protect its master, Water Elf One exhausted all its spiritual power, repeatedly unleashing powerful Water Bomb Fists!

The airwaves from their battle directly upturned all the vendors' stalls along the street!

Clang!

[Traveler, you have completed the task! Under the Blood Hunter's blade, you successfully endured for one minute!]

"Phew..."

Suddenly, the Blood Hunter ceased his aggression, stopped his blade in hand, and took a step forward, sheathing the Blood Blade.

Black Hunter, you're a formidable foe indeed... The Blood Hunter took a deep breath.

In just ten days, at this moment, Chen Qi could actually face him head-on.

Uncertain if without the constraints of the crack, in the real world, who would win, him or Chen Qi.

"Phew..."

The Blood Hunter closed his eyes, massive sword energy bursting from his body.

"Blade Release..."

However, no matter how strong Chen Qi is, under the restrictions of crack rules, he is ultimately just a Third Rank, a Third Rank Transcendent.

Facing the release of a Fourth Rank Transcendent, he has no room for resistance.

Farewell... The Blood Hunter twisted his blade.

Swoosh!

In an instant, all the people on the street turned into blood flowers, becoming the fuel for his released liberation!

The scarlet gale whipped across everyone, leaving hundreds of wounds on Chen Qi and Little Crow's bodies.

Chen Qi took a deep breath, contemplating how to escape.

Undoubtedly, he now lacks the strength to withstand the release head-on.

A petite figure, bracing against the gale of release, charged forward.

And at this moment, Water Elf One rushed out again.

"Waku waku (Master! Don't worry!)"

Water Elf One's eyes were filled with unprecedented determination.

It was the Master who saved it, who nurtured it, made it a big brother!

The Master saved it!

Now, it's time to save the Master!

"Number One..."

Chen Qi froze entirely.

Now, only Number One could block the Blood Hunter's release.

But even Water Elf One, facing the focal release from the Blood Hunter, might die!

"Blade Release. Scarlet Tidal Wave!"

The Blood Hunter stepped forward, swung his arms with all his might, thunder flickering, creating a hundred-meter-deep pit on the ground, slashing the last cut towards Chen Qi and his companions.

The scarlet sword energy, like a kilometer-long serpent, instantly turned the entire street into ruins!

"Farewell..."

The Blood Hunter said with relief, his task, at last, was nearing completion.

"Waku waku (Water Elf Wall!)"

The Water Elf closed its eyes, expanding its body, turning itself into a shield to block the release, like a scarlet tidal wave.

Boom!

"Hmm?"

Water Elf One was startled; why didn't it feel pain?

Could it be that its strength had surpassed its master's! Water Elf One widened its eyes, only to find before it stood a woman in silver armor!

"State your name."

Daphne blocked the Blood Hunter's release with a single finger.
