Chapter 346: Confrontation Outside the Island
Bo Saixi wasn't weak.
And Han Li hadn't planned to kill her outright.
After all, this was Poseidon's territory. A bit of punishment was fine, but truly killing her would be an outright slap in Poseidon's face. No matter what, she was still his earthly representative.
The moment Bo Saixi felt the overwhelming force press down on her, she had already reinforced herself with soul power. And Han Li, despite his aggression, didn't go as far as to break through her defenses using divine power.
So while his attack looked brutal, the reality was that all he had done was mess up her hair and robes. Her carefully maintained, beautiful face wasn't even scratched she simply looked completely humiliated.
In the end, the disgrace far outweighed the actual damage.
For a brief moment, as her face was smashed into the stone steps, Bo Saixi was utterly stunned.
She had been a genius since childhood, had completed the divine trials, and had become the undisputed ruler of Sea God Island. She had never lost a battle against someone of her level.
Even against Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, she had always held the advantage thanks to her home ground.
And yet today, at the very moment she considered herself to be the closest human to divinity
She had been beaten by a junior.
In her own domain.
Before the future successor of the Sea God.
In front of the Sea God Temple.
She couldn't accept it.
"You bastard! You're dead!"
A venomous shriek erupted from the ground, and as she spoke, the stone steps and plaza around her shattered. She had unleashed her full power.
"Oh no, I'm so scared."
Han Li's voice was laced with mockery.
He ignored her struggles entirely.
Her raging soul power was devastating the mountain's peak, but no matter how much she thrashed, she could not break free from Han Li's grasp.
"Aaahhh !"
Her furious, half mad screams echoed through the wind.
She was drowning in rage, flailing like a helpless animal and yet, her hands and feet never even came close to touching Han Li.
"Angry, are you?"
Han Li's expression turned dark.
"I gave you a chance to keep your dignity."
He had expected her to be troublesome. That was why he had forced Poseidon's hand beforehand, allowing Ye LingLing to gain her divine inheritance early.
But even with all those precautions, this old hag still ended up in his way.
The stronger Han Li became, the more uneasy he felt. Lately, his irritability had only worsened. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken so much to Qian Daoliu about backup plans.
With his own people, he could still restrain himself.
But Bo Saixi?
She had simply been unlucky.
If this had happened under different circumstances
With that face and that body, Han Li wouldn't have minded sitting down for a charming conversation. He liked older women, after all.
For someone like him who neither hid his desires nor held back his strength Bo Saixi was exactly his type.
On the Douluo Continent, experience and maturity were actually an advantage.
But right now?
He was furious.
And to him, she was nothing more than an obstacle.
"Lord Poseidon won't forgive you…!"
Bo Saixi's voice rang out once more.
Of course, few could remain rational in such a situation even less so for someone like her.
"Oh? Then why don't you use that empty head of yours to think "
Han Li grabbed a fistful of her long blue hair, his divine power binding her completely as he lifted her into the air.
" just how did we get this divine inheritance?"
His smile was mocking.
Bo Saixi's eyes flickered with something unspoken an emotion he had seen before.
Bibi Dong, when she was at her lowest, used to mutter to herself in the Pope's Hall with that same look.
Why do you people keep pushing me?
Why can't you just follow the rules and do your job?
Han Li grinned.
It was a bright, almost innocent expression.
But to Bo Saixi, it looked utterly demonic.
He wasn't some saint. From the moment he had understood what kind of world he was in, he had been suppressing himself.
Every step forward had been cautious, every decision made with calculated fear.
If this were the Naruto world, he might have already awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan from sheer mental strain.
The truth was
He had always been filled with rage.
And so, in front of Qian Daoliu's utterly dumbfounded stare
Han Li tossed Bo Saixi slightly into the air
And with a single, lightning fast motion, he drove his right knee into her stomach.
The moment she was airborne, her bindings had vanished
But Han Li was too fast.
She barely had time to reinforce her abdomen with soul power before she was launched from the mountain, turning into a streak of light flying toward the sea.
Han Li wasn't completely out of control.
If he had destroyed Sea God Mountain, how was Ye LingLing supposed to complete her trials later?
Time was everything.
"Master Uncle, take care of LingLing for me."
Just as Bo Saixi was sent flying, Han Li vanished in a flash, giving chase.
But not before raising a hand to stop Qian Daoliu, who had instinctively prepared to follow.
Qian Daoliu was different.
This wasn't something he should be involved in.
His identity was too special.
And more importantly
What was about to happen was not something he needed to see.
Because no matter what, this was a woman Qian Daoliu had once liked.
Even Han Li… still had enough consideration for that.
Qian Daoliu let out a long breath and glanced at Ye LingLing, whose eyes were sparkling with excitement, before closing his own.
Since things had already come to this, it was best to let the younger generation handle it.
Han Li wasn't the only one chasing after Bo Saixi. The Seven Sacred Pillars had also reacted the moment they sensed their High Priestess unleashing her soul power at the mountain's peak, immediately rushing toward the scene.
They had already been wary of Han Li's group from the beginning.
Part of it was the natural distrust sea soul masters had toward outsiders. Another part was because they were from Spirit Hall. And judging from how their High Priestess had behaved earlier, it was clear that her stance toward these visitors wasn't particularly friendly either.
Unfortunately, before they could even reach the top, they saw Bo Saixi flying through the air.
They weren't powerful enough to tell that she had been kicked, but that didn't matter they were determined to assist her.
From the damage at the mountain's peak and the raging sea below, it was obvious a battle had broken out.
Even if they weren't strong enough to be of much help, not intervening wasn't an option this was about loyalty.
Meanwhile, in the surrounding waters, the Demon Spirit Great White Sharks had also picked up on the commotion. Their reasoning was much simpler if the High Priestess was fighting, they had to assist her.
They were, after all, the sacred beasts of the Sea God. More importantly, they depended on Sea God Island for their survival.
The High Priestess had fought off the Demonic Tiger Whale tribe countless times on their behalf. For that, they would never forget their debt.
Han Li's strike had looked brutal, but in truth, he had held back. If he hadn't, Bo Saixi would have been blown apart on the spot.
Even after taking the hit, she had regained a sliver of clarity though just barely.
She had sensed divine power from Han Li's attack.
But she simply assumed he had hidden his abilities well and had struck her while she was unprepared.
After all, she hadn't even used divine power yet.
As the force of his blow weakened, she initially planned to counterattack immediately.
But then she realized they were still within Sea God Island's boundaries.
She couldn't go all out here.
Han Li, on the other hand, had already caught up to her.
With that in mind, Bo Saixi chose to keep flying toward the open ocean.
A little further out, she could unleash her full strength.
She would make him pay for humiliating her.
And so, the situation turned… odd.
Bo Saixi, having been launched into the sky, now took the lead, flying ahead.
Han Li, in no apparent hurry, trailed leisurely behind her.
And behind him, the Seven Sacred Pillars and Demon Spirit Great White Sharks were frantically trying to catch up.
Of course, Han Li was fully aware of his pursuers.
But he didn't care.
The stronger one became, the less of a threat small fry posed.
Forget him even if Qian Daoliu had been in his place, those people wouldn't have been worth a second thought.
They were nothing but a burden, a problem that could be erased with a flick of the wrist.
If anything, it was better this way.
Now, all of Sea God Island's so called "top forces" were gathered in one place.
For the sake of his future peace of mind, he would shatter their arrogance today.
A good dog doesn't block the road.
To Poseidon who was already preparing to ditch this place and use faith power for investment opportunities these people barely held any significance.
At best, they were cattle, cultivated for their faith.
Above the ocean, Bo Saixi pushed her flight to its limits, activating her domain permissions and swiftly erecting a barrier around Sea God Island.
Despite her growing madness, her instincts from a century of rule still told her to protect the people there.
Han Li scoffed when he saw this.
So she did remember her duties as High Priestess?
Well, that was fine.
It saved him the trouble of holding back.
He wasn't some bloodthirsty maniac. He had no interest in dragging innocent bystanders into this.
It was just that… people tended to act more righteously when they weren't personally affected.
Once the entire island was sealed within the barrier, the two of them had already reached the open ocean.
Perhaps because she didn't want the people of Sea God Island to see her disgrace, Bo Saixi had even taken the time to adjust her appearance, wiping away the disheveled look from earlier.
However, her killing intent had only grown stronger.
That wasn't something she could hide from someone who wielded the Killing God Domain.
She didn't attack immediately.
Instead, she gathered her strength.
Beneath the calm ocean surface, Han Li could feel the currents shifting, turbulent and chaotic.
Behind him, the Seven Sacred Pillars and the Demon Spirit Great White Sharks were drawing closer.
From an outsider's perspective, it looked as though he was completely surrounded.
"So, this is your chosen battlefield?"
Han Li stood atop the ocean's surface, his posture completely relaxed, leaving countless openings.
He knew exactly what she was waiting for.
And he was curious to see what she would try next.
"For your disrespect toward the Sea God… accept your judgment!"
Now that the Seven Sacred Pillars and Demon Spirit Great White Sharks had reached their positions, and Qian Daoliu hadn't followed
Bo Saixi's lips curled into a cold smile.
She raised her golden scepter and pointed it directly at Han Li.
