Chapter 367: Croak! The Ice Witch is Invincible Across the World!
I wonder how long it would take for the Ice Witch to kill the severely wounded Azure Beast... Chen Qi thought to himself.
The Ice Witch curled a faint smile at the corner of her lips, as if seeing through all of Chen Qi's thoughts. She placed her hand on her chest and answered the question in his heart:
"The reason I didn't choose to pursue that fleeing beast earlier was because I hadn't finished warming up yet.
Rest assured, I am invincible."
Invincible... Chen Qi's heart skipped a beat.
After saying this, the Ice Witch turned around and strode forward.
Chen Qi and Fen glanced at each other, then followed behind the Ice Witch as they headed toward the entrance of the Witch's Coffin.
As they walked, Fen suddenly leaned close to Chen Qi's ear and whispered quietly:
"Don't be afraid. Teacher might seem a bit arrogant and cold on the surface, but she's actually very easy to get along with - a very gentle, gentle, and elegant, elegant person..."
I know... Chen Qi's ears tingled slightly, his face blushing a little as he nodded.For someone as powerful as the Ice Witch, arrogance was inevitable.
After all, the Ice Witch could become the top choice in player polls and rank first in the Witch Sea popularity charts purely through her strength.
In player forums, with all the extensive fan creations mixed in, it was difficult to properly understand a character.
However, the Ice Witch was one of the few characters that Chen Qi understood deeply.
The Ice Witch was a typical ice queen type, work-oriented character. Although there were some foolish fan creations in player forums that portrayed her as an old woman who spoke in riddles all day, or as a silent, emotionless girl.
In reality, the Ice Witch was serious yet gentle, powerful yet kind, elegant yet witty.
Like Palu, the Ice Witch was one of the few serious people in the New Sun World.
One could say that the term "witch" was tailor-made for the Ice Witch.
However, under such strict education from the Ice Witch, she actually managed to raise someone like Fen, this goofy witch... Chen Qi's eyes flickered, a trace of doubt flashing through his mind.
Perhaps this was the gentleness beneath the Ice Witch's cold exterior... Chen Qi thought to himself.
The heavily scarred Fen, her face still red, continued whispering:
"Oh, I'll tell you secretly - teacher likes sweets. When the time comes..."
"Fen..."
The Ice Witch swallowed and interrupted their conversation:
"Do you have black tea?"
Chen Qi answered for Fen:
"Not at the moment, but Witch-sama, after we get out, I can make some for you. My first-tier profession is Chef, I can prepare premium black tea for you..."
"It doesn't matter, I don't really want to drink it anyway, it's just for passing time."
The Ice Witch said coldly.
"..."
Chen Qi remained silent for a moment.
The Ice Witch probably isn't the type to be tsundere like Fen, right...
Probably not, more likely she just doesn't like the tea I brew... Chen Qi looked at the Ice Witch's elegant back and nodded helplessly.
Outside, Palu was still struggling against the Blackfin Crew, and the Azure Beast was only severely injured.
The crisis wasn't resolved yet... Chen Qi stopped his random thoughts and quickened his pace.
......
On the ice plain.
The entire ground was shaking!
"Kill them all! Kill them all before night falls!"
"Kill for me! Kill! Kill!"
"Kill them all, and we'll become the new legends in this battle!!!"
The members of the Ice Demon Pirates and the Blackfin Crew pirates had become entangled, engaging in a desperate final battle.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
This battle would determine the future of the entire sea.
Therefore, everyone participating in this battle was elite among elites. The entire battlefield was chaotic, with hundreds of master-level figures entangled together!
And in the center of the battlefield, one red and one black figure stood out particularly prominently!
Every time these two figures clashed, they left hundred-meter-long afterimages and spiritual energy shockwaves in the air!
Explosions erupted one after another!
Cracks after cracks suddenly split open across the entire ice plain's surface.
They were precisely the Ice Demon Pirates' captain Palu and the Blackfin Crew's Black Death Doctor, two powerful figures!
Both of them were already riddled with wounds, with little spiritual energy remaining.
And now, their battle was reaching its conclusion!
Success or failure, life or death, king or slave - all hinged on a single thought!
At the final critical moment, the Black Death Doctor curled a smile at the corner of his lips, with rotting pustules bubbling up one after another on his decaying skin:
"Release. Black Death Plague!!!"
The Black Death Doctor struck out with what appeared to be a soft palm strike!
Countless black rats with human faces instantly crawled out from the black blood vessels on his arm, rapidly expanding and gathering into a massive ten-meter-tall swarm of rats!
Densely packed black rats instantly covered Palu's entire body, gnawing at his flesh.
Boom!!
Qi force burst!
Palu took a deep breath, erupting with powerful spiritual energy to shake off the rat swarm covering him!
However, it was already too late.
The plague poison meant instant death upon contact.
"Damn it, ugh..."
After Palu burst his energy, an indescribable nausea surged from his stomach, his internal organs churning violently.
He was forced to vomit out a large piece of black flesh.
The dice above his head was spinning rapidly, eventually landing on two points.
When it landed on one point, he would die!
And now, he had already used up all his 'dice' items, which meant he was no longer a cheater in the gamble, but just a pitiful person drifting with the current!
"Hehehehe, youngsters will always be youngsters after all..."
The Black Death Doctor forced his body upright and snapped his fingers lightly.
Instantly, Palu swelled up like an inflating balloon, with large amounts of black blood bursting from his pale skin!
Palu's legendary body, strong as steel, immediately collapsed.
The Black Death Plague utilized rats carrying special plagues to infect enemies.
This was originally a nation-destroying technique that only saint-level practitioners could master!
However, the Black Death Doctor had modified this technique through his knowledge. Even fourth-tier experts would instantly become disease-ridden patients just from touching the plague rats' skin!
Moreover, this plague poison affected not just flesh and blood, but also the soul.
"With your constitution, you'll die covered in black human-faced pustules in three minutes.
Your body will also become an experimental subject for researching the perfect plague."
The heavily wounded Black Death Doctor curled a mad smile, admiring Palu's despairing expression:
"What a pity, with your talent, if you hadn't opposed us, you might have someday stepped onto the path to godhood and become the ruler of these seas!"
"Unfortunately, it's us who will achieve great deeds and become the gods of the sea!"
Splash splash splash!
Palu's eyes grew vacant, his entire body like a melting candle, with chunks of flesh melting off one after another.
The 'Life-Extending Dice' above his head spun with difficulty.
Each life extension consumed massive amounts of spiritual energy.
His current spiritual energy could only support three more throws at most.
"Jin Li, the Ice Witch's secret..."
Palu's right eyeball also fell to the ground like melting wax.
In his blurry vision, he saw a vague black shadow holding a lantern and scythe appear before him, staring intently at him...
Death was approaching—
It seemed he would probably never get to see the Ice Witch, never verify the doubts in his heart, never fulfill the promise he made with Jin Li back then!
However, at this final moment of life, Palu stopped his 'life extension' and instead poured all his spiritual energy into a killing move!
"Release. Thousand Transformations Technique. Tiger Shark Fist!"
Dragging his crippled body, Palu charged before the Black Death Doctor.
His body suddenly transformed into the Navy Admiral Tiger Shark General!
Red steam appeared around Palu, massive waves of spiritual energy surged forth, and behind him, a vague tiger shark figure completely enveloped him!
Killing intent-filled spiritual energy gathered!
Even if he died, he had to buy time for Chen Qi and the witch, even if only for a single minute or second!
Palu replicated Tiger Shark General's technique, a tsunami-like tiger shark fist crashing toward the Black Death Doctor!
"Madman..."
The Black Death Doctor raised his arms to block. To release his ultimate technique, his spiritual energy was also nearly exhausted!
Even if he could block this attack, he would be crippled!
Boom!
However, the attack didn't arrive as expected.
What happened? The Black Death Doctor's eyes widened.
He saw that behind Palu, the burning Azure Beast had pressed down on Palu's shoulder!
"..."
Despair flashed in Palu's eyes.
A fourth-tier practitioner with exhausted spiritual energy had no chance of resistance before a Saint!
Even if the opponent was equally weakened, this was the gap between ranks.
The Azure Beast was a monster that didn't belong to his era!
Their spiritual energy fields weren't on the same level.
Palu was filled with regret. He had originally planned to follow the god in the B-tier dimensional rift who taught him D20, become a Saint, and only then handle this matter.
However, the various tragedies occurring in the sea had made him too impatient.
He had been too impatient.
If only he could have advanced to Saint before participating in this battle.
That way, his Ice Demon Pirates comrades wouldn't have to be buried with him... Palu's thoughts grew increasingly blurry, and with a loud crash, he collapsed.
Slap!
After pressing down on Palu, the Azure Beast casually tossed him aside.
The Black Death Doctor grinned:
"You came just in time..."
The Black Death Doctor looked around. Their Blackfin Crew possessed black whale blood, already beyond what ordinary Transcendents could match!
Under the devastation of the Black Sea Mammoth, the Ice Demon Pirates had been utterly defeated.
Whether they were adventurers who once carried dreams and courage, or those arrogant, bounty-breaking great pirates worth over ten million, they now lay scattered across the cold ground.
Some still had fatal arrows embedded in their bodies, others were slowly being covered by snow and ice, their twisted faces speaking of unwillingness and despair.
The entire Ice Demon Pirates had become playthings for the Blackfin Crew!
And the Blackfin Crew members hadn't even used the newest black blood potions yet!
Unfortunately, if not for the Black Hunter and the tentacle monster he brought, the Blackfin Crew might have achieved zero casualties!
Now, the only concern was the tentacle monster that had been fighting the Azure Beast but suddenly ran away for some reason.
The Black Death Doctor breathed a sigh of relief:
"Azure Beast..."
However, the next second, the Azure Beast suddenly grabbed his neck!
The Azure Beast lifted the Black Death Doctor high and roared:
"Hand it over!!!"
"Hand over the perfect black blood from the Fringe World!!!!!"
"Give it to me!!!!"
"..."
The Black Death Doctor's neck was instantly squeezed smaller by one circle, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at the Azure Beast before him.
He saw that the Azure Beast's body was already covered in wounds, his breathing had become extremely labored, and his previously calmed expression had once again turned utterly ferocious!
In that instant, the Black Death Doctor understood everything.
The Whale Father's mortal enemy, that legendary Ice Witch had been resurrected!
So quickly! No, I'm suffocating... The Black Death Doctor struggled to reach out and throw out a vial of potion from inside his clothes.
The perfect black blood potion was the Blackfin Crew's latest masterpiece, created by combining Little Crow's knowledge with the true black whale blood from the Fringe World - the strongest potion!
Unlike ordinary black blood potions, this potion had a 70% mortality rate even for legendary practitioners. This was the Blackfin Crew's ultimate technique!
Aside from the Blood Hunter, everyone who consumed this true black whale blood had died!
He never expected that the Azure Beast would know about this potion, nor that he would crave this insane potion!
The Black Death Doctor advised:
"Azure Beast-sama, with your current body, consuming ancient god blood will definitely lead to collapse!"
However, facing the Black Death Doctor's advice, the Azure Beast acted like a mad wild dog, without any hesitation, swallowing both the glass and the contents into his mouth.
Crunch! Crunch!
The Azure Beast at this moment was like a beast pushed to the extreme.
According to the Whale Father's intelligence, the resurrected Ice Witch should only have saint-level strength too, is she really that terrifying... The Black Death Doctor felt somewhat puzzled.
Boom! Boom!
After drinking the true black whale blood, the Azure Beast's eyes turned red, his entire spiritual energy field suddenly materializing into scorching blue flames.
The Azure Beast's fourth-tier and fifth-tier professions were originally monstrous, already containing extremely bloody and insane power, inherently incredibly powerful!
And the black whale blood was chaotic power from the Fringe World, itself filled with fury and disorder!
Instantly, the Azure Beast's spiritual energy field expanded, blue flames instantly covering the entire ice plain. All the Blackfin Crew experts stopped their actions at this moment!
This monster born in the Deep Sea Hunters era, having undergone navy secret experiments, and now resurrected at this time, was finally about to display his true strength!
"Everyone, retreat to our ships for shelter!"
The Black Death Doctor commanded.
The pirates echoed the call:
"Brothers! Board our new ship and enjoy the show!"
The new ship they referred to was Chen Qi's ship!
While Chen Qi was away, Little Crow had no combat ability whatsoever and could only hand the ship over to these pirates.
The bloodthirsty pirates didn't hesitate, dragging the defeated Ice Demon Pirates prisoners as they boarded Chen Qi's new ship.
Only this ship could withstand the shockwaves from the battle between the Azure Beast and the Ice Witch!
The bloodthirsty Blackfin Crew experts played with the water spirits on Chen Qi's ship while eagerly anticipating the great battle's outbreak!
"Hehe! Finally get to see the legendary witch!"
"Who do you think will win?"
"Is that even a question? The Ice Witch is invincible across the world!"
"The Azure Beast is definitely going to win. The Whale Father already said that the newly resurrected Ice Witch only has early saint-level spiritual energy field at most."
"Relax, everyone, don't worry. Even if the Azure Beast-sama is defeated, we'll be fine!"
"The Ice Witch is the saintess of the Winter Kingdom, she'll forgive all our sins and let us reach the goddess's kingdom!"
"But that Black Hunter madman probably won't let us off!"
"What's there to worry about? The Black Hunter can only obey the Ice Witch. The Ice Witch is a saint-like great existence!"
Being able to watch a battle between two saint-level figures - even if they died here, this journey wouldn't be in vain!
Whoosh—
Under the Azure Beast's massive spiritual energy, the sky-blanketing blizzard finally stopped.
In the distance, the light of a lantern slowly brightened.
The Ice Witch held the Daylight Lantern as she walked out from the Witch's Coffin, and behind her were precisely the witch and Black Hunter that the Blackfin Crew had been thinking about.
The Ice Witch scanned over the dying Palu on the ground, over the devastation across the ground.
Chen Qi frowned.
Even though they had defeated the Gunfire Queen Carol, the current situation was worse than he had imagined.
The Ice Witch's red pupils moved slightly as she calmly observed everything.
In her original memories, to save her, the Blood Blade Pirates and Fen had joined forces, with over two thousand one hundred people dying at the Great Sea Coffin, and two legends from the Blood Blade Pirates buried there.
Back then, the entire ice plain was littered with corpses, filled with cries of agony.
Indeed, fate was completely different now... The Ice Witch turned her head to look at the Azure Beast who had just consumed the true black whale blood.
The Azure Beast's heart was burning, erupting with saint-level power from his prime!
Moreover, the true black whale blood had appeared in the Witch Sea ahead of schedule. The black whale was more ferocious than prophesied... The Ice Witch looked at the tragic scene before her.
The Ice Witch shook the lantern in her hand and called out to all the pirates on the ice plain:
"Come at me together."
