Chapter 1803
by 林方方Chapter 1803 Phoenix
Poseidon’s voice fell, and a violent gust of wind exploded beneath Lin Qiye’s feet!
The deck of the exploration ship was instantly torn to pieces, surging waves rolled around him, and beneath that wildly dancing deep red cloak, a pair of bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at Poseidon!
“You… want to try?!”
In the sky above, the slumbering six-winged Seraph suddenly opened its eyes!
Dazzling golden light ignited again from its pupils, majestic divine might pressed down, weighing on the hearts of all Olympian gods, making them feel breathless.
Poseidon frowned, he hadn’t expected that after delivering that one sword strike, the Seraph would still have remaining power… but he was certain that the Seraph couldn’t deliver a second identical sword strike now, and even if it did, the four main gods together could block it!
“What? Let’s see if your sword is faster… or if I kill them faster?” Poseidon snarled.
As his palm grabbed at the air, the waves near the birdcage instantly stilled, then transformed into thousands of fine water needles, suspended around the cage. With just a thought from Poseidon, these needles could precisely kill all humans inside!
These remaining few thousand people were Lin Qiye’s weakness, and Poseidon’s leverage against the people of Great Xia!
“Poseidon, you bastard!!”
Inside the golden birdcage, the faces of the [Phoenix] team members turned extremely ugly!
“If you want to kill us, just do it! Using us to threaten the Commander, what kind of Sea God are you??”
“No… he’s not trying to threaten, he just wants to kill us to boost the morale of the Olympian gods!”
“This is bad…”
Cao Sha looked back and saw that beyond the panicking crowd, a figure covered in blood scabs was sitting silently in front of the gate, head lowered, motionless.
Since yesterday, Xia Simeng seemed to have been in that position, in the same posture, without moving.
“Captain…?” Cao Sha called softly.
Clink—
The sound of metal falling rang out as a badge dropped from Xia Simeng’s body and rolled aside.
The figure supported herself with one hand on the ground, slowly rising from the dried pool of blood. Her pale arms gradually regained their color, and she brushed aside her golden hair matted with blood, revealing a weak yet defiant young woman’s face.
“Poseidon… what the hell does he know about Nightwatchers?” Xia Simeng cursed hoarsely.
Seeing the badge that had rolled from in front of Xia Simeng, Cao Sha froze for a moment, his pupils slightly contracting!
“Captain, you…”
Xia Simeng walked barefoot to the edge of the golden birdcage, leaving bloody footprints with each step, dark red scabs covering her entire body, a horrifying sight.
The storm whirled over the sea surface, blowing her tangled hair into a mess. A golden flame suddenly ignited from within the blood scabs, setting her hair ablaze, like a golden fire swaying in the wind!
Xia Simeng slowly spread her arms, proudly looking down at the Olympian gods in the distance, and spoke word by word:
“Today… I’ll show these ignorant foreign gods… what ‘Great Xia never dies, [Phoenix] lives forever’ means!!”
Whoosh—!!!
All the blood scabs on Xia Simeng’s body burst open at once, blood transforming into golden flames surging out, instantly engulfing her form!
In the astonished gaze of the [Phoenix] team members, the golden sea of fire swept up everyone in the birdcage, intense firelight flowing through the gaps in the cage’s railings, igniting the sea surface below!
Seeing this sudden change, Poseidon’s heart sank sharply!
Without time to think, he directly controlled the thousands of water needles around the birdcage, shooting them all out, but before they could touch the golden sea of fire, they all evaporated completely!
In everyone’s sight, a clear phoenix cry sounded from the sea surface, the flowing golden fire spread to both sides like a pair of outstretched phoenix wings, covering the sky!
With a flap of its wings, the enormous body crashed against the inside of the birdcage, creating a thunderous boom!
This crash didn’t break through the cage, only slightly distorting the golden railings near the gate… but immediately after, a second impact followed!
The fire phoenix trapped in the golden birdcage crashed against the railings like a madman, churning the flame-covered seawater below into chaos.
The next moment, a miraculous sword beam descended from the sky, tearing open a gap in the surface of the birdcage, and the golden flames seized the opportunity to rip it open.
With a resounding phoenix cry, a massive fire phoenix burst out of the golden birdcage, breaking through the storm to soar in the sky, its free wings shining beneath the dark clouds!
The phoenix breaking out of the cage directly stunned the Olympian gods present. They never imagined that these people would escape in such an inconceivable way despite their arrangements!
Poseidon’s chest heaved violently. He had just wanted to use this birdcage to boost the gods’ morale, but in the blink of an eye, the cage was broken… this was undoubtedly a slap in their faces!
He roared in anger, hurling the trident in his palm!
Driven by terrifying divine power, the trident instantly transformed into a beam of light streaking across the sea surface, the seawater frantically surging to both sides, the entire sea area split by this strike!
Just as the beam was about to hit the phoenix, a deep red shadow flashed through the void, two long blades drawn simultaneously!
One snow-white, one black-gold, the two blades firmly blocked the sea-splitting trident. Lin Qiye’s enraged eyes seemed to burn with raging flames, and with terrifying strength, he forcibly intercepted the strike in mid-air!
Dazzling sparks flew, and a thunderous roar echoed beneath the sky!
“Kill—!!!”
Lin Qiye’s voice was like a signal, and the next moment, all figures on the exploration ship leaped up at once!
Gray wings spread in the storm as Shen Qingzhu spat out the cigarette from his lips. A wisp of flame traced before him, instantly evolving into a fire tornado that engulfed the entire strait, roaring and raging between the mountains!
Wu Laogou’s eyes flashed with light, as if he had become a different person. Raising his stone xun, melodious music drifted with the fierce wind.
Chen Fushi, Shao Pingge, Chen Han, Guan Zai, and Wu Quan charged toward the sky above the strait, heading straight for the surrounding lesser gods. Divine power flashed everywhere, and the entire battlefield fell into chaos.
Hum—!
The trident blocked by Lin Qiye hummed and automatically flew backward, but before it could fly far, it suddenly suspended in mid-air.
Invisible threads floated from Lin Qiye’s fingertips, tightly wrapping around the trident’s surface. No matter how Poseidon tried to drive it, he couldn’t move it back even half an inch!
Above the surging sea, Lin Qiye held his dual blades and spoke grimly,
“You think… you can take it back?”
