Chapter 500: Chapter 254: Battle with the Light Fish

"Baron, please draw your weapon, or else when I bring you back, don’t say I launched a surprise attack."

Under the scrutiny of the glowing fish, Lu Hong withdrew his inspecting gaze and then summoned the Blood Holy Sword from within his body.

The glowing fish, upon seeing this blade, showed a hint of a smile as if to say: Indeed.

"Do you recognize this sword?"

"Of course," the glowing fish didn’t bother to conceal his knowledge and spoke openly: "This is the extraordinary weapon created from the division of the War God’s Divine Weapon. It shone brightly in the wars against the Hell Demons. Although it is a split entity of a Divine Weapon, it is no less powerful than any weapon held by a Heavenly God."

"It seems you’re quite familiar with the War God?" Lu Hong did not know the origins of the glowing fish, but the fish’s words were enough to raise his guard.

"It’s so-so, not me, but the Sea God is familiar," the glowing fish said with a smile: "The Sea God had many spars with the War God, but unfortunately lost every time. After the Sea God transformed into the sea, the War God also disappeared in the Star Sea, hence, as an inheritor of the Sea God, I have always been unable to fulfill my master’s last wish. Today, I hope you could give me a chance, Baron, to prove the strength of my Sea God inheritance against the warrior profession!"

"I can do that." Since the glowing fish had put it that way, Lu Hong had no reason to refuse: "However, I still have many questions, and I hope you can clarify them, glowing fish."

"We can talk about everything after we fight."

As soon as the words fell, the glowing fish, holding a golden trident, attacked Lu Hong.

Lu Hong was no weakling either. The Blood Holy Sword split into two, and he lashed out with both blades.

The glowing fish was a strong combatant full of skill and technique, aware that Lu Hong had not yet advanced to Third Transition, he did not take advantage of his superior Magic Power rank but focused mainly on close combat.

In an instant, the two exchanged more than dozens of moves on the calm sea.

The glowing fish had a very unique way of attacking. He was not of the Naga race; he had no multiple arms, but he could flexibly fold his two hands backward. This feature allowed him to deliver unexpected moves in combat. Initially caught off guard, Lu Hong took a beating but gradually found a way to counter after becoming familiar with the glowing fish’s technique.

"Kill!" With a thrust, the glowing fish swept away Lu Hong’s twin swords, raising thousands of layers of waves and lunging at Lu Hong.

After hundreds of exchanges, the glowing fish finally used his Skill.

"Blood Transverse Sky!" Lu Hong was not about to be outdone, and a Blood River slashed across the sky.

The roaring Blood River collided fiercely with the waves, unleashing a huge impact force that churned the waters and shifted the color of sky and sea.

"Good!" Realizing Lu Hong’s blood volume was not weaker than his own Magic Power, the glowing fish stopped holding back, releasing all of his Magic Power.

"Hey, hey, you’re playing dirty!" Lu Hong felt the pressure mounting as the Blood River showed signs of collapsing under the glowing fish’s assault.

"I will suppress my level to Second-Transformation Peak, I won’t take advantage of you," the glowing fish explained before increasing the output power of his Magic Power again.

"Fuck?!" It was Lu Hong’s first encounter with a Magic Power reserve that could surpass his own at the Second-Transformation Peak stage. This Sea God inheritor indeed had some tricks up his sleeve.

In the blink of an eye, the Blood River was completely broken by the waves conjured by the glowing fish.

Lu Hong simply dodged the opponent’s Skill, endured the backlash from the Blood River, and since it was a contest of ultimate Skills, he naturally refused to admit defeat.

Taking a deep breath, he gathered all the power of his blood and Qi back into his heart.

A powerful heartbeat exploded above the surface of the sea.

The glowing fish quickly discerned the power of this Skill and hurriedly dragged his trident across the sea, following a beautiful arc, countless waters condensed and refined into a massive shield in front of him.

By the time the glowing fish had done all this, Lu Hong’s Skill had arrived.

"Blood Qi Shockwave!"

A blood-red nuclear bomb erupted suddenly on the sea surface.

The immense force turned the water into a huge cavity, and thousands of waves rippled outward.

The glowing fish, behind the mighty shield, resisted Lu Hong’s Skill attack.

But the next second, the glowing fish sensed something wrong and quickly lifted his trident horizontally in front of his head.

Clang~

Lu Hong’s Holy Sword broke through the shield and struck the trident.

The glowing fish struggled to defend but was still continuously pushed back by Lu Hong, smashing into the seabed.

"Quick reflexes," Lu Hong did not pursue, knowing the opponent was from the sea tribe, who might have special techniques in the water; rashly chasing into the sea was not wise.

Staring at the sea surface, a strong Magic Power fluctuation emerged faintly.

Lu Hong activated Divine Eye and saw the glowing fish’s trident absorbing Magic Power from the sea water, condensing a huge water sphere.

The light fish finished charging its skill and broke through the surface of the sea to smash towards Lu Hong.

However, such speed was easily dodged by Lu Hong.

Would a skill that required charging be so simple? Certainly not.

Lu Hong wasn’t clear about the light fish’s methods, so he had to be cautious.

The water sphere that missed Lu Hong entered the clouds and then immediately burst open.

In an instant, the white clouds in the sky were suddenly tinged with a golden halo.

Torrents of thunder poured down.

These golden thunders, without exception, all targeted Lu Hong.

Lu Hong had no time to marvel at the opponent’s powerful skill as he constantly shifted and dodged throughout the sky, avoiding one thunder attack after another.

For those he couldn’t evade, Lu Hong would use the holy sword to defend.

As expected, when the lightning touched the holy sword, it clung to it tenaciously, which was undoubtedly the light fish skill’s final move.

"You’re very clever." The light fish burst out of the sea, its trident heading straight for Lu Hong’s chest.

Lu Hong lifted his sword to block.

In that split second, the light fish activated the thunder attached to the blade, creating a powerful explosion that forced Lu Hong’s sword to change direction.

It was only for an instant, but it was enough for the light fish to break through Lu Hong’s effective defense range.

"Damn it!" cursed Lu Hong under his breath, retreating repeatedly.

The trident stuck to the bone, and with the light fish’s charging speed already fast, this retreat didn’t create any distance, it instead made Lu Hong more vulnerable.

"Burst!"

Out of options, Lu Hong had to activate Blood Qi Shockwave again. Although not as powerful as the initial charged attack, it was enough to create a chance for him to save his life.

Facing this Blood Qi Shockwave, the light fish raised its hand and pressed down hard.

"Too bad." Seeing that Lu Hong had successfully escaped, the light fish didn’t pursue any further.

Lu Hong steadied himself, standing on the sea surface, "What was that move just now? It’s pretty powerful."

"Divine Slash Trio," the light fish replied. "It’s a pity that I’ve only barely mastered the first movement. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to get away so easily."

Mastering a Third Transformation Skill wasn’t easy, and even just a preliminary grasp of some top level techniques could take more time and experience than moving up a rank.

Don’t think that Lu Hong could casually use the ultimate moves of the Angry Blood Warrior and Great War Master, and still wield immense power. Those were the stored abilities sealed within the holy sword, which had little to do with Lu Hong himself. Once Lu Hong advanced to the Third Transition, it was estimated that he wouldn’t be able to use these moves.

"I still have many tricks up my sleeve; I just wonder if using them counts as cheating."

In response to Lu Hong’s words, the light fish laughed, "Me too, and suppressing my level really feels uncomfortable. Let’s just call it a day with the fight."

"Ah?" Lu Hong was startled, "Don’t we need to decide a winner?"

"I am at the peak of Third Transition, and even if I suppress my level to win, it would still be dishonorable. When you reach the same level as me, we can have a fair fight." The light fish’s gaze narrowed slightly as it looked towards the Naga Queen’s council hall, "Besides, the Naga Queen seems to be trying to investigate here. If you don’t leave now, I won’t be able to cover for you much longer."

"Hey, hey, I still have many questions for you!" protested Lu Hong, feeling like the light fish was abandoning him after use, even though they had agreed to chat after the fight.

"Don’t rush, there will be plenty of time. The queen has suffered severe injuries and won’t be able to call upon the sea creatures to attack the human empire again for at least three years. We’ll have a chance to meet again."

"Okay." Lu Hong collected the Blood Holy Sword and swiftly made his escape.

Once Lu Hong had gone far, the light fish retracted its golden trident.

The next second, the Naga Queen’s will descended upon that place, and a faint shadow looked down upon the light fish, "Why did you block my investigation?"

"Nothing much, just did something that shouldn’t be seen. Didn’t want to trouble Your Majesty," the light fish replied with a cavalier attitude, hands crossed behind its head.

"Light fish," the Naga Queen said, eyeing the opponent, "I don’t know where you’re from, but I hope you can stand with the sea creatures and consider their well-being."

"Of course, my Queen. I am one of the sea creatures, and of course, I hope for the prosperity and development of our kind."

The light fish’s response seemed agreeable, but in truth, he was skirting the issue, answering the Naga Queen’s deeper implications with evasion.

"You know best." However, the Naga Queen did not press further and withdrew her will.

Having seen off the Naga Queen, the light fish waved its hand gently, and the turbulent sea surface immediately calmed down. Compared to the Naga, this one seemed more like the true master of the sea, possessing absolute control!
