On Shimmering Star Lake, the tower ship sailed like the wind under the setting sun.

In just a quarter of an hour, the boat traveled over thirty miles, and in half an hour, it covered a hundred and twenty miles.

A total of nine hundred miles of waterway, which originally took a full ten days to traverse, could now be completed in less than four hours.

Everyone on the ship felt as if they were in a dream.

The tower ship sailed past the sunset, into the night, and headed toward the bright moon and the vast sky, vanishing into the vast waves.

On that Glazed Island, a thrilling battle was taking place.

The Shimmering Star Lake Water Monarch made a decisive decision, realizing that Chen Xu was not to be underestimated, he immediately abandoned any thoughts of further probing or opposing him.

After all, there was no real connection between them. Even if there had been some minor disputes earlier, they weren't actual deep-seated enmities and could be resolved.

But if he were truly stubborn and continued to oppose, it would not end well.

The Shimmering Star Water Monarch did not wish to put himself in an awkward and difficult situation and instead turned to target Chi Jie.

This person used sweet words to deceive and tried to tempt him into making enemies, so the Shimmering Star Water Monarch was angered by the trouble Chi Jie caused and wanted to make an impression in front of Chen Xu.

He watched the tower ship leave, and in an instant, used his water escape technique to reach Glazed Island.

Indeed, the Shimmering Star Water Monarch was exceptionally skilled at water escape techniques.

He usually resided in the water, and within Shimmering Star Lake, his speed was almost as swift as a ray of light.

When he went to see Chen Xu earlier, he hadn't used the water escape technique because it wasn't necessary.

He was there to test Chen Xu, not to be an assassin, so there was, of course, no need for water escape.

And now, as he entered the island with water escape, Chi Jie was still bleeding from his eyes.

He was frantically shouting, "Shi An, Liu Quan, you fools, why are you silent? Where are you hiding? Come out!"

Shi An and Liu Quan were the names of Chi Jie's two retainers.

Drip drop... drip drop...

The sound of water grew closer and heavier.

Chi Jie couldn't see anything, his frenzied expression mixed with an indescribable fear.

Apparently, he realized something.

Yet he stubbornly used harsher words to cover up his fear:

"You bastards dare to deceive this son of honor. Such rebellious behavior, not knowing one's place, when the day comes, I'll skin you and pull out your tendons... ah!"

In the dim sunset, a cold massive object swept in.

Drip drop... drip drop, the sound of water became heavier.

Chi Jie let out a scream, and was on the verge of sinking into a mysterious, indescribable, yet icily deep vortex. Suddenly, he bit the tip of his tongue.

In a flash of lightning, in a tense and crucial moment.

Bright red blood suddenly spurted out from his mouth like a rain of arrows.

The densely packed blood rain, in the moment like morning dew and lightning, sprayed onto the cold massive object around him.

Immediately, a deafening roar was heard.

"Aung—"

It wasn't a dragon's roar, nor a serpent's cry.

It was the Shimmering Star Water Monarch roaring in anger.

Hiss hiss hiss!

It turned out that Chi Jie's blood was unusual, carrying a highly corrosive force when it was sprayed.

That wasn't all; this corrosive force not only had a bone-penetrating aggressiveness against flesh and blood, but it also possessed a strange reversing ability.

It was this reversing ability that, once Chi Jie's blood touched the Shimmering Star Water Monarch's body, seemed to mystically open a peculiar passage—

The Shimmering Star Water Monarch immediately sensed that his demonic body seemed to have countless holes.

And all his cultivation, hundreds of years of demonic power, including his vast foundation, marrow, and bloodlines, at that moment, transformed into an invisible energy.

That invisible Primordial Qi gathered instantly, then, through the countless holes on his demonic body, surged out of his body, reversing.

Those invisible Primordial Qis were rushing toward Chi Jie!

Chi Jie was a peculiar individual.

Blood tears flowed from his eyes, fresh blood sprayed from his mouth, originally full of fear, frantic as he was.

Yet at this moment, he suddenly opened his arms as if embracing something in the air.

He quickly changed his expression, laughing smugly, "Shimmering Star Lake Water Monarch? Hehehe, so what? Just a little snake that happens to be a few feet longer, and it really thinks it's a dragon!

If it were a real dragon, why would it roam a little Shimmering Star Lake?

Real dragons belong in the vast seas!

Such a little snake, so useless, since it couldn't bring me Chen Xu, you might as well dedicate your bones, blood, and fortune to me.

Puh!"

Once again, his mouth poured out bright red blood in succession.

As more and more blood spewed out, the Shimmering Star Lake Water Monarch, with all his mana and methods, couldn't utilize them at this moment.

All he could do was tighten his snake body, extremely enraged.

"Chi Jie, the boy hides so deeply, hiss..."

Chi Jie spat blood, while from the top of his head and the soles of his feet, invisible threads like tentacles swiftly shot out.

He was merely the size of an average person, yet now, appearing in the sunset, the Shimmering Star Water Monarch in his true form was ten feet long.

Their size difference was enormous, yet the threads coming from Chi Jie's body were terrifyingly tough and firm.

Sinking the Shimmering Star Water Monarch's massive body with countless wounds, making it hard to struggle.

Chi Jie's eyes couldn't see, yet he spread his limbs, becoming more and more frantic in demeanor: "Little snake, shut your mouth!

Do you think I want to eat you? It's your fault for failing to capture Chen Xu. You're only my second choice.

So hateful, ah..."

Boom!

At this moment, suddenly the snake's body swelled again by one-third under the dim sunset.

It turned out to be a critical moment when Chi Jie emitted threads to firmly bind the Shimmering Star Water Monarch, the giant snake's head suddenly raised, the snake body instantly inflated, breaking through several threads.

Boom—

Vast Qi Blood and Demonic Power erupted like a mountain torrent, the Shimmering Star Water Monarch was covered in fresh blood, and he growled softly in rage:

"You wretch, scoundrel, a mere mortal body dares to devour me?

I will let you know, you frail mortal form, regardless of your treacherous schemes, you will only end up being washed away by my demonic power and perishing!

Villain, don't even think about harming me... ah!"

He furiously counterattacked, yet suddenly screamed miserably.

In an instant, Chi Jie's bizarre methods emerged continuously, whether the blood sprayed from his mouth or threads emitted from his body, were like the tendrils of blood-eating worms, firmly nailing into the Shimmering Star Water Monarch's demonic body.

And the Shimmering Star Water Monarch struggled and roared, unable to escape, continued to unleash his demonic power.

He aimed to use his vast demonic force to counterattack and destroy Chi Jie.

As for Chi Jie's two retainers, they had long since perished the moment the Shimmering Star Water Monarch stepped onto Glazed Island.

Under the dim sunset, man and demon fought a life-and-death struggle.

And dozens or hundreds of miles away, Chen Xu, aboard the tower ship, had already let the sunset set beyond the distant sky.

The moonlight began to rise.
