Chapter 370 Backstab
"Make a covenant?"
A bad premonition crept into the heart of the Mermaid King. She felt a strong malice coming from the young man. Even she felt a little frightened and terrified. She vaguely saw her not-so-glorious future.
"You make a covenant with me with your three souls and six spirits. From now on, your life and death will be in my hands."
Feng Qing'an did not hide or deceive anything, but his words, when heard by the Mermaid King, were as chilling as the cold wind blowing from the Netherworld, piercing his bones.
He disdains any concealment or deception. His advantage lies in this. Unless the Mermaid King can pull out an earthly immortal ancestor to serve as his backer, he will have no chance of turning the tables.
"That's impossible."
The Mermaid King flatly refused without even a second thought when asked about the condition of signing the contract with her soul. She could not tolerate herself falling into such a situation.
"You have no other choice. If you want to save your tribe, you have to sacrifice everything!"
Feng Qingan looked down at the mermaid queen whose face changed drastically. At this moment, he looked like a playboy who bullied men and women and was rampant in the village.
However, what he relied on to be domineering and tyrannical were not tall and burly servants or ferocious and brutal dogs, but a group of Kuns that were tens or even hundreds of miles long and had ancient bloodlines.
And the one being bullied by this dandy young man was not a delicate and weak woman from a good family, but a human-immortal who possessed a body a thousand feet in size and could, wield the trident in his hand, cause a world-destroying natural disaster that swept across a million miles of sea.
"If you don't want to, then I will have no choice but to completely wipe you and your people from this vast ocean. Remember, all of this is caused by your people. This is a disaster you brought upon yourself, so you can't blame others."
Feng Qing'an raised his hand and waved it forward gently. All the big Kuns swimming around the oldest big Kun under his feet rioted. The many big Kuns that were already wreaking havoc on the ruins became even more unscrupulous.
The spiritual light from the exquisite and ingeniously crafted Mermaid City suddenly dimmed and was swallowed up by the huge shadow. An atmosphere of despair filled the sky above the Mermaid City.
"stop!"
Seeing his subjects being slaughtered, even the most tyrannical and overbearing king could not tolerate this scene. After all, his ambitions also have to be realized by his subjects. How can a king who does not even have a subject be called a king?
The mermaid king not only shouted but also took actual action to stop the attack. She swung the golden trident in her hand that was shining with brilliant fairy light.
Billions of tons of sea water were mobilized. Even though it was located deep under the sea, huge waves that swept across the sky were still set off on the sea surface. Under the sea surface, this terrifying water flow was transformed into a stream, which blasted towards the bottom of the sea from top to bottom.
The endless seabed mountains were shaking, and billions of aquatic creatures were fleeing frantically. This was a blow that was enough to shock the world. Any existence, even immortals in the same Dongxuan realm, would never dare to take it head-on in the seabed, and would only avoid its sharp edge.
However, the target of this mermaid king is neither the immortals nor the kings of the same level as her, but the big Kun who possesses ancient blood and can even be traced back to Kunpeng.
But this is not the end yet. The aftermath of the attack is so wide that it is enough to overthrow a city. However, she can only target a single big Kun.
boom!
Under the guidance of the trident wielded by the Mermaid King, a terrifying blow that was enough to cause a thousand miles of sea to break and sink was all poured onto a giant Kun. However, even though his most proud magical power successfully hit the target, there was no joy or smile on the face of the king.
Because she could clearly see that facing this attack that he had been building up for so long, the big Kun that he had locked onto was clearly capable of breaking free.
But not only did it not break away, but it took the initiative to meet her attack, using its huge body to block her forbidden magical power.
After the raging waves and rapids had all dissipated, the Mermaid King was somewhat shocked and angry to see that his full-strength attack had only resulted in a bloody pit on the giant Kun's body that was dozens of feet deep and several miles long and wide.
If this happened to a creature in other realms, it would at least be a serious injury with broken bones, but when it happened to this big Kun, it was just a piece of skin broken.
Moreover, just as her emotions emerged, the rolled flesh and blood began to heal and regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye, and most of it was healed in just a few breaths.
This is the strength of creatures with ancient blood. The source of life is so powerful that it is comparable to the vast ocean. There is no need to use any magical powers. It is enough to make any human immortal retreat and not want to provoke them.
Even though she was born with extraordinary talent and her practice had been smooth sailing, the Mermaid King, who had always been arrogant, had to admit that under normal circumstances, even she would not provoke such a being.
The only way she could think of to defeat such a being was to engage in a fight, using her ultimate magical powers and the best magic weapons to slowly drain the opponent's life essence, but the time it would take would be years.
If necessary and without any other choice, the Mermaid King is willing to bite the bullet and deal with such a powerful enemy.
But the current situation is that she has no choice at all, because there is not just one such Kun, but a group of them, and this group of Kun is destroying the Hanhai Dynasty that she has spent countless efforts to build.
Not to mention months and years, he didn't even have three months or three days. It would even take only three hours, and all the foundation that she had spent more than a hundred years to complete would be destroyed in an instant.
"What a feeble counterattack. Are you going to take action too?"
He saw the first confrontation between the Mermaid King and Da Kun, and even the fact that Da Kun didn't make any defense and directly took the attack with his body. As a result, Feng Qing'an acted as if he had taken the attack himself and asked arrogantly.
The person he was asking about was not the Mermaid King, whose eyes were filled with despair and had become somewhat sad, but the powerful Mermaids who had come from all over the place and were at the Profound Realm level.
Looking at the current situation, they had already started to have doubts in their minds. Even though they had gathered together, no one dared to take direct action like the Mermaid King.
If one cultivates to their level, one can live for 1,500 years. If one has special bloodline, perhaps his lifespan can be doubled. With such a long and blessed life, why would they be willing to sacrifice their own lives for the continuation of their clan?
The world is so big, and there are more than just mermaids. Even if they were extinct, as long as they could preserve their bodies and escape to another place, they could still become kings and rule over a region.
"This matter has nothing to do with me, I don't want to get involved!"
Being questioned by a human with such a weak aura , a mermaid immortal immediately expressed his position without any surprise on his face. The situation was stronger than the person, so he had to bow his head. His life and property were more important.
"I wonder if you would be willing to let me leave?"
"What do you think?"
Feng Qingan asked back with a smile.
"It seems that Your Excellency wants to kill them all."
The mermaid immortal who spoke first ignored the Mermaid King's ugly look and the murderous intent that was about to become reality, and a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes.
"If I let you go, wouldn't I have to let them go too? If I let all of you, the strongest mermaids, go, I won't be able to sleep peacefully from now on."
Feng Qing'an sighed and showed helplessness on his face, as if he was forced to do something that was not his own decision.
"It seems..."
Another mermaid spoke first, a cold look appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand and a pitch-black spear that seemed to be able to swallow all the light appeared in his hand. The moment it appeared, it was like a peerless ferocious beast out of its cage, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.
"I haven't finished talking yet. Why are you so anxious? It's not like there is no room for change. If you really don't want to conflict with me, you can swear by the way of heaven to serve me like a dog or horse under my command. In this way, you will always be by my side, and I will feel at ease."
Feng Qing'an looked calm, as if he was saying something that was a matter of course.
"I am a natural-born noble, and I am already eight hundred years old. I have never been sent on any mission, and I have lived a life of luxury. I do not intend to change anything for the rest of my life. If you are so inclined, I will fight to the death."
But which immortal here was not born extraordinary? When they heard a young man with such a weak aura asking to take them in as his subordinates and not even putting them on a relatively equal footing, how could they be willing to do so? Everyone reacted quite violently, and some even showed an attitude of fighting to the death.
"Your Excellency, are you really going to leave us no room for maneuver and force us into a desperate situation?"
One of the immortals spoke up, and it seemed that he did not want to actually fight. After all, the strengths and weaknesses of both sides were clear at a glance. If a war really came to pass, he could only find a way to send his true soul into reincarnation. All the practice and everything he had in this life would be gone in the blink of an eye.
"Well, seeing that you are so determined, I am not a bloodthirsty person."
Feng Qing'an sighed softly, seeming a little helpless, and seeing this, the cold and serious expressions of many mermaid immortals suddenly eased a little.
"Then I will give you a chance. If you still can't grasp it, you can't blame me."
"Please give me your instructions!"
"To be honest, I have no interest in you. I am somewhat interested in this girl, but she seems to prefer death to submission. Therefore, whoever of you can make her submit to me can leave here, and I will not pursue the matter."
Feng Qing'an pointed at the mermaid queen, whose face turned pale and even began to close slowly, unable to bear to see her subjects suffer.
But when he heard Feng Qing'an's words, the Mermaid King's eyes suddenly opened, and golden divine light burst out from her eyes, like two divine swords, piercing Feng Qing'an, as if to split him in half.
However, the one who reacted most intensely was the mermaid queen. In comparison, the other mermaid fairies looked at each other with slightly strange expressions, but then they suddenly realized that they had reached an agreement with their eyes.
"Is what you said true?"
"I will never break my promise."
Feng Qingan swore solemnly, pointing to the sky,
"If I tell a lie, I will be punished by God!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the mermaid immortals changed color. The one with the biggest change in expression was naturally the mermaid king. She looked with mixed fear and anger at those immortals of her own race who had originally surrendered to her and expressed their willingness to obey her orders. The anger in her eyes had already turned into reality.
Although they didn't say anything at this moment, the silent changes in their positions had already made their intentions clear.
"Your Excellency, do you mind if we use some bloody means?"
Several mermaid immortals surrounded their king, and their auras became one, sealing off heaven and earth and cutting off any possibility of escape for their mermaid king. After doing this, they did not forget to ask Feng Qing'an for advice.
"As long as you can give me a living one, I don't mind if you use any violent means. After all, at your level, no matter what you lose, you can grow it back, right?"
Feng Qing'an folded his arms and smiled, and then he watched the wonderful show below with great interest.
"I have treated you well, yet you treat me like this today!"
"Your Majesty, today's disaster was entirely caused by your failure to discipline your subordinates. We have only suffered an unprovoked disaster. Now we are just trying to protect ourselves."
"Yes, I think what your Excellency said is correct. All the disasters are caused by your carelessness. In order to protect the continuation of the tribe, please make a small sacrifice."
"presumptuous!"
Although she is a woman, she has a vision and mind that is in no way inferior to that of men. She also has all the ambitions and desires of a powerful lord. How could the Mermaid King endure such humiliation?
As a result, a fairy war within the mermaid tribe suddenly broke out. At this time, all the big Kuns retreated, leaving enough battlefield for the mermaids to kill each other.
Feng Qing'an watched this fight with great interest. The outcome was already determined. Even though the Mermaid King had amazing talent, he was the one with the highest cultivation level among those present.
But as the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. There is no essential gap between her and those mermaid immortals. They are all at the same level.
Immortal power is just a matter of more or less. She can fight two or even three at once, but no matter what, she can't fight five at once.
She had a magic weapon, but these mermaids could also gather together two or three magic weapons. She had no advantage at all. The fight only lasted half an hour before the king showed signs of decline.
Just after an hour, the Dharma body that was over a thousand feet tall was shattered, revealing the true body of the mermaid that was only about ten feet tall.
I have to say that this is a female mermaid with stunning appearance. Her upper body is extremely similar to that of humans. Needless to say, she is as glorious as autumn chrysanthemums and lush as spring pines, and she is absolutely stunning.
Even though the golden-scaled fish tail on the lower body had nothing to do with humans, it still had a unique beauty that made Feng Qing'an unable to resist wanting to touch it.
