Chapter 288: Two People Start a Fight
Hearing Bai Yu’s words, Bo Saixi’s expression froze, then she was silent for a moment before shaking her head and saying:
“No, there is no outsider named Tang San on Sea God Island. Saint Son Bai Yu has come to the wrong place, please return.”
Bo Saixi’s words were a small trick; she said there was no outsider named Tang San on the island.
But Tang San had already started the Seagod Nine Trials, which meant he had joined Sea God Island, so he naturally wasn’t an outsider but rather a person of the island.
Bai Yu frowned, somewhat unsure whether Bo Saixi was telling the truth or lying. After all, this woman had feelings for Tang Chen, and it was possible she would lie to protect Tang San for Tang Chen’s sake.
Then Bai Yu reached for the teapot, poured Bo Saixi a cup of tea, and while doing so, said:
“If that’s the case, then it seems I’ve come to the wrong place. However, I am quite curious about this holy land of Sea Spirit Masters.”
“May I ask, Great Priest, if you would allow me to come ashore and explore? Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you, and I won’t cause any trouble on Sea God Island.”
As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, Bo Saixi immediately shook her head without hesitation, indicating her disagreement.
“No, Sea God Island has long-standing rules against people from the mainland approaching, and furthermore, you are from Spirit Hall.”
“So, Saint Son Bai Yu, please leave as soon as possible!”
Bai Yu looked at the resolute Bo Saixi, sighed slightly, and said in a lingering tone:
“Why is the Great Priest so stubborn? You know very well that I only wish to ascend Sea God Island to find Tang San.”
“I can promise you that whether I find him or not, I will not harm a single blade of grass or tree on the island.”
“But if the Great Priest insists on stopping me, then please forgive Bai Yu’s rudeness, but I will have to force my way onto Sea God Island.”
Hearing Bai Yu’s words, Bo Saixi’s eyes narrowed, and she quickly retreated a distance, a powerful spirit power fluctuation erupting from her body.
“Rules are rules, and no one can break them. If you wish to force your way onto Sea God Island, then you must defeat me first!”
Bai Yu glanced at Bo Saixi, who was acting as if facing a formidable enemy, and he became even more convinced that Tang San was on Sea God Island.
After all, if Tang San wasn’t there, Bo Saixi wouldn’t be so desperately trying to stop him. It was just going to the island, not trying to take her life.
Then Bai Yu stood up and said softly:
“Is it really necessary? It’s just Tang San; he has no familial ties to you, so why risk your life for him against me?”
Bo Saixi didn’t speak, but just stared intently at Bai Yu, the fluctuations of her aura growing increasingly violent.
To be honest, Bo Saixi also had unspoken difficulties. She actually didn’t want to fight Bai Yu, even if Tang Chen’s death was related to Bai Yu.
But no matter how significant the connection, Tang Chen had gone to his death himself, and even if he hadn’t, Tang Chen wouldn’t have lived much longer.
So Bo Saixi didn’t resent Bai Yu much. Since she wasn’t even willing to fight Bai Yu for Tang Chen, why would she fight to the death for Tang San?
Even if Tang San was Tang Chen’s great-grandson, it had nothing to do with Bo Saixi.
And there was a reason for this: Tang San was the successor personally appointed by the Sea God. As the Great Priest, she could not, under any circumstances, hand him over.
On the first day Tang San arrived at Sea God Island and requested to accept the Sea God’s inheritance, Bo Saixi had wanted to refuse him.
After all, Tang San already had the Asura God’s inheritance; how could he possibly inherit the Sea God’s power as well?
But before Bo Saixi could even speak, the Sea God sent her a divine oracle, instructing her to let Tang San accept the Seagod Nine Trials and not to obstruct him.
As the Great Priest serving the Sea God, she naturally wouldn’t question the Sea God’s decision. Thus, Tang San, in his prime, became the Sea God’s successor.
And she, Bo Saixi, had to protect this successor well. If anything happened to Tang San, it would be her dereliction of duty.
Bai Yu looked at Bo Saixi, who was ready to act at any moment, and shook his head helplessly.
“Since the Great Priest insists on a battle, then Bai Yu will say no more. Today, I must ascend Sea God Island.”
“Seventh Spirit Ability, Sea God True Body!”
“Second Spirit Ability, Sea Wave!”
“Eighth Spirit Ability, Vast Ocean!”
Before Bai Yu could finish speaking, Bo Saixi suddenly attacked, starting with her Spirit Avatar, coupled with control, weakening, and offense.
Directly in front of Bai Yu, a giant wave hundreds of meters high formed, its appearance blocking out the sky and sun, quite terrifying.
Bai Yu’s eyes moved, and he extended his right hand forward, then gently swiped.
“Water Aspect, Lord of All Waters!”
With Bai Yu’s movement, the giant wave in front of him vanished in an instant, as if it had never appeared, and the turbulent sea became calm.
Then Bai Yu soared into the air, reaching the same height as Bo Saixi, and chuckled softly.
“Heh heh, Great Priest, you shouldn’t use such methods. Water control is also my specialty.”
“When I become a god, I will be the Lord of All Phenomena, and all elements in the world will be under my control. At that time, even if the Sea God himself stands before me, the sea will not obey him.”
“Moreover, I see that your power should have also reached level 100. Why aren’t you using your divine force?”
“Even just using divine force for close combat against me would be much more effective than these water control methods.”
Bo Saixi’s face flushed. She knew she was no match for Bai Yu, but she hadn’t expected the gap to be so huge.
That last move, aside from her hidden divine force, was already her strongest technique. After all, her ninth Spirit Ability, Sea God’s Descent, was to summon the Sea God’s divine consciousness to fight on her behalf.
But now she couldn’t even dodge in time, so naturally, she couldn’t use it.
Yet, her strongest technique was completely nullified by Bai Yu with a casual swipe, having no effect at all.
How could this not discourage her? But there was nothing she could do if she couldn’t win. Rather than hand Tang San over to Bai Yu and then face trouble from the Sea God, she might as well fight Bai Yu to the death.
After all, no matter how powerful Bai Yu was, at most he would just kill her. But if she angered the Sea God, as the Great Priest, she might not even be able to die if she wanted to.
Thinking of this, Bo Saixi gritted her teeth, her divine force erupted, and she brandished the scepter in her hand, charging forward to engage Bai Yu in close combat.
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that this woman was really obedient; she engaged in close combat when he told her to.
However, while close combat was somewhat useful against Bai Yu, it wasn’t much. After all, Bai Yu had been practicing close combat for so many years.
For a long time, he even fought bare-handed, only starting to use a knife after his battle with Chu Huai.
Although Bo Saixi’s close combat wasn’t weak, her positioning was actually that of a mid-to-long-range mage, and close combat was not her strength.
Therefore, even though Bai Yu didn’t use the power of laws in the battle, and didn’t even take out his Spirit, the Hong Ming Knife,
Bo Saixi was still at a disadvantage. It shouldn’t be called a disadvantage; it should be said she was completely overwhelmed, with no power to retaliate.
And this was only because she possessed a divine body, which gave her some advantage in strength. Otherwise, she would have already been defeated by now.
