Chapter 366: Ice Witch: Where’d This Little Black-Haired Brat Come From?
Chen Qi warned:
"Witch Lady, be careful of your back."
Behind? The Ice Witch pursed her lips and turned around.
Whoosh!
The Azure Beast suddenly exerted force, flashing by like a meteor.
Fourth-tier movement technique, Instant Flash—a super high-speed movement completed in the blink of the Ice Witch's eye!
In the space of a breath, the Azure Beast's figure was already standing behind the Ice Witch.
His thick right arm suddenly swelled, gripping a rusted longsword that ignited with scorching deep blue fire:
"Witch! Today, this place will become your grave!"
"After you die! I will devour your spirituality and reach a higher rank!"The Azure Beast could feel that the Ice Witch's current spiritual energy field, like his own, was a frail saint-level spiritual energy field!
Undoubtedly, this was the best opportunity to kill her. Once missed, he would never have another chance.
Moreover, the Azure Beast's beastly instinct read unprecedented fear from the Ice Witch's eyes at this moment!
This must be the Ice Witch fearing his power!
"Slash!"
The Azure Beast roared wildly, already envisioning the scene of the Ice Witch being torn to pieces.
The Ice Witch looked at the Azure Beast before her, her eyes shifting slightly.
Boom!
The Azure Beast merged completely with his longsword and flames, slashing downward with one strike.
Qi Transformation. Blue Fire Descending Sun!
The speed of this strike had already surpassed the speed of sound, its cutting sound alone like the wailing of countless demons!
Boom!
The ground instantly shattered into pieces, the blazing blade like a meteor falling from the sky!
However, the moment the longsword approached the back of the Ice Witch's neck, it rapidly became coated with layer upon layer of ice crystals, then slowed down bit by bit.
The world around the Ice Witch seemed to enter slow motion.
Facing this surging wave of blue fire, the Ice Witch gently extended her index and middle fingers.
Crack!
The Ice Witch easily caught the burning blade between her fingers.
"!!!"
The beastified Azure Beast froze.
Empty-handed blade catch!
His Qi Transformation had been so simply resolved!
Impossible—his beastly instinct had clearly sensed fear just moments ago!
If she could defeat him so easily, why was she afraid?!
The Ice Witch's crimson eyes examined the Azure Beast before her, tilting her head in confusion:
"Little puppy, who are you?"
Where did this fifth-tier strength, saint-level monster come from?
And where had the Dragon Tamer King, who should have appeared here according to the prophecy, gone?
The current situation completely contradicted what fate had indicated.
The Azure Beast lowered his head, staring blankly at the Ice Witch before him.
The Ice Witch blinked, seemingly trying to recall who he was...
The Azure Beast gritted his teeth.
Back when he was resurrected by the navy laboratory and about to become a deep sea calamity surpassing saints, it was the Ice Witch who injured him, turning him into a wandering ghost of the sea!
He should have become this sea's new god!
One could say, aside from the Deep Sea Hunters, the Ice Witch was his second mortal enemy!
This fear couldn't possibly be fake... The Azure Beast suddenly roared:
"Roar!"
Without hesitation, he erupted with even greater power!
In the space of a breath, the Azure Beast's eyes began flashing with scorching lightning!
In an instant, his body transformed, his figure swelling dramatically. Flesh and bone were consumed by azure thunderous fire, replaced by a form transcending the mundane—
A monster completely enveloped in blazing flames!
Cup Release. Beast of the Deep Sea!
In that moment, his body seemed to merge with the deep sea—extremely cold and overwhelmingly powerful!
Blazing thunder and lightning converged into a giant blue beast!
Facing the Ice Witch in his most primitive form!
The Azure Beast pulled out his longsword, roaring wildly as his figure flashed like a hundred blue lightning bolts, like a blue tsunami, like a raging beast, launching an attack against the Ice Witch!
Whoosh!
Chen Qi watched this scene quietly.
Normally, all of the Azure Beast's release techniques required low health to activate.
Yet, boundless rage had allowed him to activate release in his normal state!
Facing the Azure Beast's fury, the Ice Witch lazily, casually raised her right hand.
Whoosh!
The Azure Beast's furious roaring state instantly froze with countless ice crystals forming at the palm of the Ice Witch's hand, stopping completely!
Slap!
"Who exactly are you? Never mind, it's not important anyway..."
The Ice Witch raised her head and gave a light flick of her hand.
Slap!
The Azure Beast's face looked as if it had been slapped by a giant.
Both had fifth-tier weakened spiritual energy fields, so why could the Ice Witch completely overpower him?
Whoosh!
The Azure Beast flew out like a fired cannonball, thrown ten thousand meters away, rolling across the ground to create a terrifying fissure, disappearing from everyone's sight, writhing and convulsing painfully on the ground!
With just one slap, the beast's blood stained this silent land.
The Ice Witch gazed into the darkness ten thousand meters away without any extra expression, as if she had merely swatted away an annoying insect.
Amid the intense sounds of battle, Fen slowly opened her tired eyes.
So this is what a true legend is like... Chen Qi couldn't help but admire as he watched the scene.
Judging solely from spiritual energy fields, there was almost no difference between the Ice Witch and the Azure Beast.
Yet with equivalent spiritual energy fields, the Azure Beast was completely suppressed, completely overpowered, with no ability to fight back at all.
This was the gap in skill... Chen Qi took a deep breath.
On the Witch Sea, the Ice Witch had acted many times but rarely suffered setbacks.
Vast knowledge, ruthless methods, unparalleled power, a young girl's appearance with white hair and red eyes, a voice both cold and gentle!
Compared to the clumsy Flower Witch, this was the nightmare in the eyes of countless people on the Witch Sea, the true witch.
Watching this scene, Chen Qi felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted, breathing a long sigh of relief in his heart.
The Ice Witch was probably the first legendary figure he had truly encountered in this world who could influence history and rewrite it!
The Ice Witch's appearance meant that in the Great Sea Coffin, no one could stop their progress anymore.
Witnessing with his own eyes the legend celebrated for centuries on the Witch Sea... Chen Qi couldn't help feeling some excitement in his heart.
The Ice Witch's knowledge could be enough to become my teacher... Chen Qi stood up, preparing to introduce himself.
However, the next second, the Ice Witch aimed her palm at Chen Qi's forehead again.
A cold magic circle instantly materialized!
In that moment, Chen Qi felt like a crimson "DANGER" character had inexplicably appeared above his head!
It was killing intent, from a fifth-tier saint...
The Ice Witch smiled slightly:
"Little one, that fleeing creature is already a walking corpse."
Walking corpse... Chen Qi was stunned.
In the Ice Witch's eyes, had the Azure Beast already died?
The Ice Witch gently shook the lantern in her hand and asked:
"Answer me, why are you here? And how did you get here?"
Regarding Chen Qi, the Ice Witch had too many questions in her heart.
Under the Ice Witch's will, countless ice crystals immediately appeared on Chen Qi's body.
In just the blink of an eye, Chen Qi's body was restrained by the Ice Witch, completely unable to move.
Ice Condensation Technique—could lower the temperature and slow time around enemies.
Chen Qi spoke with difficulty:
"I..."
In the Ice Witch's eyes, all deep sea humanoid monsters deserved death!
The Ice Witch's ruthless nature wouldn't give him time to hesitate.
However, the next second, Chen Qi's completely stiff body inexplicably felt a wave of warmth.
It was Fen's body heat.
Although in the prophecy, the Ice Witch had seen Fen countless times before.
After waking up again over a decade later, when the Ice Witch saw Fen, her eyes couldn't help but soften:
"Fen..."
"Teacher, his name is Qi, he's someone important to me now, and also my future... partner..."
Fen dragged her severely injured body, struggling to approach and press against Chen Qi's side:
"He's not a deep sea monster, he's just someone infected with Sea Beast Disease, an adventurer!"
Fen explained urgently while coughing up blood, afraid her teacher might harm Chen Qi.
Aren't you two getting a bit too close? A flicker of confusion passed through the Ice Witch's pupils as she commanded:
"Fen, stay away from that monster."
The Ice Witch intended to send Fen away, then examine Chen Qi's body.
However, Fen, who usually obeyed her, ignored her words this time.
She used her small hand to stroke Chen Qi's face.
"Teacher, he really isn't dangerous at all! And he won't harm us—"
Then, Fen stood on her tiptoes, rubbing her soft cheek against Chen Qi's cheek, and touched the Ember's Touch behind him:
"Teacher, look, there's no problem at all..."
Thank goodness Fen is here... Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
The Ice Witch's expression remained completely unchanged.
Wait, something feels off...
Chen Qi sensed something amiss.
Under Fen's persuasion, the Ice Witch's spiritual energy field suddenly surged, even surpassing what she had shown against the Azure Beast!
The Ice Witch's killing intent intensified!
Has the "DANGER" above my head gotten bigger... Chen Qi's heartbeat quickened.
"..."
The Ice Witch restrained her impulse.
She had originally thought that Chen Qi and the Azure Beast were both substitutes for the "Dragon Tamer King" in fate.
But now it seemed this person had a very good relationship with her disciple!
How could her adorable disciple be like this? How could she be in contact with a humanoid monster tainted with deep sea power?
And why was this deep sea humanoid monster here?
The Ice Witch's icy expression rarely showed confusion.
Watching Fen stroke Chen Qi's cheek with her small hand, the Ice Witch's rationality was struck by a powerful impact once again.
This impact was difficult to describe with simple words.
If forced to make an analogy, it was like a single-parent law enforcement officer working on the front lines.
The officer risks life and limb fighting criminals every day, working hard to earn money to support the family, sending their hard-raised, well-educated daughter to the best university, hoping she would one day start a family and career, becoming an outstanding talent.
However, on the day the daughter returns home after finishing university.
The officer sees their daughter has brought home a little punk with pirate tattoos, smoking a big cigar, wearing crocs, with a criminal record full of offenses!
The key point is, when the officer prepares to teach this little punk a lesson, their daughter uses her body to protect this little punk, being all lovey-dovey right in front of them.
And for the Ice Witch, Chen Qi was this utterly detestable little punk!
Bang bang bang!
The always calm and collected Ice Witch, within just half an hour of resurrection, had suffered two massive blows to her life.
But fortunately, the Ice Witch was a professionally trained witch!
The Ice Witch stared at Chen Qi and said elegantly:
"I understand, that's enough, Fen."
"Teacher, he really isn't dangerous!"
Fen excitedly seized this rare opportunity, saying to Chen Qi:
"Qi, ah, open your mouth—"
The restrained Chen Qi subconsciously opened his mouth.
Fen inserted two fingers into Chen Qi's mouth, smiling as she said:
"See, Teacher, he's not a monster at all, and he doesn't bite~"
Enough... The Ice Witch snapped her fingers, separating the two and canceling the control over Chen Qi.
Chen Qi moved his joints again, breathing heavily.
Although the Ice Witch was ruthless, she wasn't someone who killed indiscriminately. As long as he didn't cause trouble, she wouldn't easily attack him.
The Ice Witch continued:
"Fen, you have three minutes to explain what happened."
"Okay."
Fen was especially excited to see her teacher and briefly recounted Chen Qi's story and the Blackfin Crew's situation to the Ice Witch.
Isn't the frequency of "Qi" appearing in your story a bit too high... The Ice Witch closed her eyes, pondering for a moment:
"You mean, this little punk saved me?"
The Ice Witch looked at Chen Qi before her in confusion.
From the scene, it seemed she had been sleepwalking for some time.
Fen nodded, smiling as she answered:
"Yes, Teacher, without Qi, you'd still be lying in the coffin right now!"
"..."
Lying in a coffin? The corner of the Ice Witch's mouth twitched.
According to Fen's story, without Chen Qi, she wouldn't have been able to wake up at this moment.
Fen, please stop talking... Chen Qi had a vague sense of foreboding.
In Chen Qi's original plan, he had intended to use politeness to improve the Ice Witch's favorability.
But from the moment Fen pressed against him, the Ice Witch's subtle killing intent hadn't stopped!
"I understand..."
The Ice Witch first suppressed the questions in her heart and extended her hand to Chen Qi:
"Hello, first time meeting, my name is Angela, you can also call me Witch."
After speaking, the Ice Witch tilted her head in confusion, examining Chen Qi from head to toe.
Angela... Chen Qi took a deep breath and shook the Ice Witch's hand.
Although on the forums, the Ice Witch was ranked first in popularity on the Witch Sea—an icy girl, countless players' "daddy," a white-haired red-eyed little cutie.
In reality, with the first contact with this ice-cold face, such an overwhelmingly powerful existence, it was inevitable to feel nervous.
After shaking hands, the Ice Witch reminded:
"Fen, remember elegance."
"By the way, aside from that soon-to-die beast, there's also the Blackfin Crew's fleet outside?"
Chen Qi said softly:
"Yes, Witch Lady..."
Hearing this news, the Ice Witch raised her proud head, a playful villainous smile curling at the corner of her mouth:
"Come with me, I'll make the Blackfin Crew understand what a true legend is."
