A bluish aura flashed across Prince's face. Although his body did not move, it swayed slightly. His originally eerie silver pupils turned almost snow-white!
"Chen Xiao!"
Champagne rushed over to help Chen Xiao up, but Chen Xiao quickly stood up on his own. Although he was a little unsteady, he gritted his teeth and stood firm, pushing Champagne away and whispering, "Run away quickly!"
Champagne looked anxious and pointed at Prince's nose, yelling, "You damn foreign devil! What's wrong with you?! We have no grudge against you, what are you doing here!"
The bluish aura on Prince's face slowly dissipated. He took a deep breath, his voice slightly unsteady, and forced a smile as he looked at Chen Xiao: "Your strength seems quite impressive. Little friend, at your age, I was nowhere near as capable as you. I've never heard of anyone else who could reach this level at your age, except for you."
Chen Xiao sneered, but inwardly he felt helpless. He had tried his best, but the gap in strength between himself and this madman was insurmountable. The other party was S-rank, while he was probably A-rank. At this point, he was simply powerless to contend with him.
He wasn't the type to act recklessly. He secretly plotted that his greatest weapon was his blood. If he could find a way to injure his opponent and have his blood "infect" their wounds, perhaps he would have a chance.
But the reality now is that the other side didn't even break a scratch, while I have been severely injured.
Prince listened intently for a while, then a smile appeared on his face: "Ah! Finally, someone's here. The two of us fought and made such a commotion, which has shown the pursuers the way. I just wonder who will arrive first."
Just as he finished speaking, a figure darted across the sky like a shooting star and landed on the ground with a whoosh. His clothes fluttered and his long hair danced in the air. It was the Sea God!
Prince clapped his hands and laughed as soon as he saw Poseidon: "Good, good, good, I knew it was you. You can fly, those two guys with knives and swords are still far behind."
Poseidon had already seen the bloodstains on Chen Xiao's body and face. Her pretty face instantly turned frosty, and she snorted, her eyes filled with murderous intent as she stared at Prince: "Hey! Why did you hurt him!"
Prince raised an eyebrow: "When playing games, how can you avoid getting hurt? If you get hurt, you just heal."
Poseidon shook his head, his tone chilling: "You hurt him, so I'll kill you!"
Having said that, she pointed with her slender hand and immediately darted forward. Prince shouted, "Good! The more intense the fight, the better!" He swung his sword horizontally, and a silver light appeared in front of the Sea God, cleaving a deep trench in the ground with a loud boom!
Poseidon rolled up his long sleeves, and a bolt of lightning flashed out. The silver light and the lightning collided, and the two figures quickly intertwined in this burst of light!
Then Prince's loud laughter rang out: "Hahahaha! It really is you! I recognize you! We fought at sea a few years ago, but you weren't this old back then, you were probably just a little loli! Aha! You even rode a huge monster back then! Thinking about it, the aura Chen Xiao has is just like..."
The two S-class powerhouses clashed, and their figures grew faster and faster, gradually rising from the ground to the sky. Prince was a ball of silver light, while Poseidon was a ball of electricity. The two lights bombarded each other relentlessly, producing sounds like muffled thunder.
At the same time, a ball of light, intertwined with gold and silver, had formed a huge sphere of light, enveloping the two of them. As the two fought fiercely, bursts of energy poured out, and the sphere of light grew larger and larger, like an inflating balloon, with layers of electric cocoons flowing on its surface!
The gravity control exerted by Poseidon caused the surrounding gravity to become completely disordered. Countless trees on the ground were uprooted by the powerful force and floated in the sky. Also, many large and small stones seemed to be attracted by gravity and flew towards the huge sphere of light centered on the two people.
However, whether it was trees or rocks, once they came into contact with that ball of light, they were instantly blasted to pieces, turning into shimmering dust that drifted around the ball of light.
The clash between two S-rank powerhouses created a strange spectacle in the sky! One half of the sky remained clear and sunny, while the other half was covered in dark clouds. Layers of clouds rapidly accumulated, forming a thick, black mass, like indelible ink, as if it might pour down from the sky at any moment.
During the fierce battle, Prince kept laughing, and his words could be heard intermittently amidst the roaring sounds, while Poseidon remained silent.
He fought fiercely, holding nothing back, seemingly determined to kill Prince on the spot!
On the ground, Chen Xiao finally collapsed onto the floor. Poseidon arrived and engaged Prince in battle. Chen Xiao, who had been forcibly holding on, finally let out a sigh of relief, and the pain he had been suppressing surged up all at once. He sat on the ground, panting heavily. The torn muscles and hidden injuries in his arms, along with the internal injuries from vomiting blood earlier, caused him to experience waves of dizziness.
Champagne, however, had other plans. She grabbed Chen Xiao's arm and put it around her neck, trying to lift him up so she could escape quickly. But Chen Xiao was already quite experienced, and Champagne tried twice but couldn't lift him. Moreover, Chen Xiao was covered in a layer of black bone armor, which was extremely heavy.
Champagne herself is not a combat-type superhuman, and her physical strength is not much different from that of an ordinary girl, so how could she possibly carry Chen Xiao?
Chen Xiao forced a smile and gasped, "I'm out of strength. You should leave first. I'll be fine staying here. If those two start fighting, you'll get hurt if you stay here."
Champagne suddenly pointed at Chen Xiao's nose and yelled, "Nonsense! How could I be the kind of person who abandons his companions! I'm leaving. If you stay here, won't you get hurt?!"
Chen Xiao opened his mouth, about to say: I have armor protecting me.
Suddenly, a strange look flashed in Champagne's eyes. She grabbed Chen Xiao's left arm, stretched out her hand, and swiftly slashed at the sharp blade on Chen Xiao's arm armor!
Instantly, a deep wound appeared on that pale arm, bleeding profusely!
Champagne held the wound on her arm to Chen Xiao's lips and gritted her teeth, saying, "Drink up!"
Chen Xiao was taken aback: "You? What are you doing?"
Champagne was in so much pain that her brows trembled—she had always been a pampered young lady at home. She had never suffered such physical pain before. Yet, enduring the pain, she said, "I heard from Second Young Master Xu and the others that you encountered a bio-beast on a resort island. You seem to have a bloodthirsty evolution ability; as long as you drink the blood of an ability user, you can automatically recover. I... although I'm not a combat-type ability user, I am still an ability user. If you drink my blood, although my ability won't work on you, it will replenish your energy and allow you to evolve."
Chen Xiao was stunned, not expecting that Xu Ershao and the others had actually told Xiangbin about this. Seeing the blood streaming down Xiangbin's arm, he paused, then Xiangbin smacked Chen Xiao hard on the head, angrily saying, "It's already cut! If you don't drink it, the blood is wasted! Besides, how far can a weak woman like me run on two legs! Without you leading the way, I probably wouldn't have made it. A bolt of lightning could easily fall from the sky and kill me!"
Since Champagne said that, Chen Xiao could only steel himself and bring her arm to his mouth.
The faint scent of the girl on his arm mingled with the salty taste of fresh blood. Chen Xiao felt completely lost. He subconsciously took a sip of Champagne's blood, but Champagne seemed to think that not enough blood had been drawn, and squeezed his arm hard a few times.
Drops of blood flowed into Chen Xiao's mouth, and Xiangbin's face suddenly turned pale. She swayed and finally fell into Chen Xiao's arms. Chen Xiao was already unsteady, and the two of them fell to the ground together. However, their position was a bit strange, with Chen Xiao lying on top of Xiangbin, holding one of Xiangbin's arms, and sucking on the wound.
Chen Xiao quickly let go of Xiangbin's hand and said worriedly, "Hey, you," but he was puzzled. It was just a small injury and a little blood. It was far from enough to make someone faint.
To everyone's surprise, Champagne turned pale, her lips twitched a few times, and she finally managed to utter a few words: "I... I'm squeamish about blood. Don't worry about me, just have a couple more sips. My life depends on you."
After saying that, he forcefully raised his arm and brought it to Chen Xiao's mouth, but his head tilted to the side and he fainted.
Chen Xiao was both amused and exasperated. He thought to himself that this girl was acting absurdly. Knowing full well that she was afraid of blood, she still came up with this kind of idea. Little did he know that Champagne's fear of blood stemmed from an incident when she was young, when her third uncle held her at the dock and she witnessed him slaughtering a whole ship full of people. She was so frightened that she developed a habit of fainting at the sight of blood.
While Chen Xiao was still in a daze, he suddenly heard a roar as loud as thunder coming from in front of him.
"Hey...you scoundrel, how dare you!"
The voice was filled with boundless rage. Chen Xiao looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a short shirt standing in front of him, holding a short sword as thin as chopsticks. The middle-aged man's eyes were glaring at him as if they were about to spit fire!
Chen Xiao paused for a moment, then immediately realized something was wrong:
Champagne closed her eyes and fainted, while she herself was on top of Champagne in a position that could easily be misunderstood. A deep wound on Champagne's arm was bleeding. She was holding that arm, bringing the wound to her lips as if sucking on it.
Chen Xiao immediately released Xiangbin's arm, raised his hand and said with a wry smile, "I'm not..."
Mr. Lin's eyes blazed with fury. He couldn't fly, so his speed in pursuit was much slower than that of the Sea God. When he ran into the forest, he saw this scene: this despicable young man was lying on Champagne's body, sucking the blood from Champagne's wounds like a vampire!
