Chapter 2424: I Can Spare Your Life

“Judging from how you’re speaking, you don’t seem to be familiar with these things. That’s quite puzzling.” Mojard was confused. How could someone who didn’t know about these things become so strong?

Zu An smiled. “If your respected self can tell me, I can spare your life today.”

The Mermaid Queen was filled with shock. After all, even though she knew that Zu An had hidden his strength well, she hadn’t expected that it was to this extent!

He can actually fight on equal terms with Mojard!

No, it actually seems as if Mojard is at a disadvantage!

And the way he spoke sounded really natural. Could it be that he has absolute confidence in winning?

But this is the incredibly famous Incestuous King! There are probably fewer than three people who can win against him in the world right now.

Mojard was a bit stunned, but then he was so angry he actually laughed. “Hahahah! This is truly amusing. It has already been a long time since someone spoke to me in such a way!”

He was already feeling really annoyed. The Soulspeak he was most proficient in had been countered, and he had to worry about that black hole skill in close-quarters combat. But now the other party was offering to spare his life?

Nonsense!

You have successfully trolled Mojard for +599 +599 +599...

He reached out, and a giant blade appeared out of nowhere. Then, it slammed down at Zu An.

“Obliterate!”

Since the power of his punches and kicks would only be neutralized by the black hole skill, he’d just switch weapons!

I refuse to believe that you can even absorb away this kind of attack!

As soon as he said that word, a massive wave of blade ki forty meters in length came crashing down. All kinds of defensive formations flickered around the Mermaid Queen’s chambers, but they completely shattered after persisting for only a single second. The entire palace was sliced through by the blade energy as if it was made out of tofu!

The Mermaid Queen was horrified when she saw the bottomless gorge carved out by the blade energy. Was this the Incestuous King’s true strength?

It seems he wasn’t using all of his power at all in our previous fight!

But she quickly grew nervous. All of the objects around the foolish guard had already been smashed into powder by the powerful sword energy, so was he still alright?

She was looking for him when a voice came from above. “What a funny fella. You remind me a bit of Nie the Human King. You said 'Obliterate', but you were actually using 'Mountain Cleave'.”

Zu An was standing on the roof of a nearby palace.

Mojard frowned. He harrumphed and said, “What Nie the Human King? I’ve never heard of him. Just die!”

He brandished his blade again. This time, his blade ki became a hundred meters long and sliced straight at Zu An.

With a tap of Zu An’s toes, he instantly moved a hundred meters away. However, the blade energy actually reappeared in front of him the next instant.

“Aura homing?” Zu An reacted quickly and evaded to the side.

The hundred-meter-long blade wave followed him wherever he went, destroying all of the trees and residences wherever it passed. The palace was almost completely destroyed.

After this huge commotion, the Mermaid Queen’s subordinates finally realized what was going on. They all rushed to her side to protect her.

Many of them were shocked to see that Mojard had come back after leaving, but what was even more shocking was that the one on the other side was actually fighting on par with Mojard.

That seems to be the lover the Mermaid Queen just announced!

Sigh, we must really have terrible judgment. We were thinking that he looked so ordinary and weak that even we could easily replace him.

But this really isn’t a situation we could replace him in...

The Mermaid Queen said nervously, “Hurry up and help him!”

The guards pointed at themselves with stunned looks. “Me?”

The Mermaid Queen finally reacted to the current situation too. She was so worried that she'd ended up losing her composure. Mojard was clearly truly angered, and was now fighting with a hundred and twenty percent of his usual strength. That meant this was a kind of fight that was difficult for even her to participate in, let alone these guards.

She quickly had the guards escort the maids and servants to a safe place to hide her embarrassment.

...

How could the Dragon King not know what was happening when there was such a huge commotion taking place?

When he sensed that it came from the Mermaid Queen’s side, he couldn't help but curse, “Another damned assassin? Is my freaking Dragon Palace an assassins' public restroom or something?! Can they come and go wherever they please?”

He was really pissed off today. First, there was that assassin in Four Way Palace who had killed the monsters’ head emissary. He'd been horrified at the news, but fortunately, the Incestuous King Mojard had been present. Even though he had been forced to receive that person’s wrath, in the end, the other party’s anger was still appeased.

Shortly after, they'd gone to the Mermaid Queen’s chambers to capture the assassin. The Fiend races’ emissary, the Peacock Princess, was captured as a result. But once wasn’t enough; he'd been forced to accompany Mojard over to the Mermaid Queen’s place again.

Sigh, the appearance I tried to keep up in front of the Mermaid Queen for many years has probably been all but destroyed now. She is probably utterly disappointed with me now, right?

What made him lose his cool even more was that the goddess whom he had pursued for so many years, yet only received indifference in return, actually had a lover! And she'd even admitted to it in front of everyone!

On top of that, it was just a lesser guard who seemed ordinary in every way.

How ridiculous!

He was full of resentment. Not even the gentle clam ladies could completely rid him of his negative feelings. Now that he heard the disturbance in the palace, he finally couldn't take it anymore and exploded.

I don’t care who it is. This king is going to make them pay!

I can’t offend the Incestuous King, and I can’t offend the Mermaid Queen, but do you think I can’t offend you either?!

He rushed toward the Mermaid Queen's residence angrily and prepared to show his power to erase the shame he had shown tonight in front of his goddess.

But when he saw that the one causing trouble was the Incestuous King, his expression instantly froze.

What did I say I was coming here for again?

Forget it, I'll pretend I didn’t say anything.

He naturally couldn't offend the Incestuous King, but why was even that lesser guard he looked down upon so strong?

There were other strong individuals who had arrived when they received the news. When they saw the battle taking place above, they were also greatly shaken.

No wonder the Mermaid Queen favors him; this kid is indeed quite special.

Zu An’s body turned into a bolt of lightning, flickering as he evaded. However, the blade wave continued to pursue him relentlessly.

Mojard had an evil grin on his face. “How can my blade be that easily avoided?!”

The next second, the blade that chased after Zu An disappeared. However, the sky suddenly became brighter. Even though it was nighttime, in that instant, it became as bright as day.

It turned out that every single one of the cuts Mojard had made remained in the air. Now, those slashes flickered and manifested a blinding web. It cut off everything within a kilometer, making it so that Zu An had nowhere left to run.

“Demon Blade, Inescapable Net!” Mojard roared. All of the blades instantly exploded to attack Zu An.

“Ahhh!” The Mermaid Queen cried out, her entire body shaking. However, the battle was so far away that she couldn't help at all.

Peach was also grabbing the queen’s arm nervously, but she was actually a bit more confident than the queen.

The queen’s husband is so awesome, he’ll definitely have a solution.

Zu An spread open his hands, and a transparent bell surrounded him. When those countless slashes landed on him, everything was blocked by the bell.

But the power of Mojard’s attack couldn't be underestimated. When the lights disappeared, the giant golden bell also completely shattered.

Mojard’s expression changed. He hadn’t anticipated that Zu An would have such a powerful defensive skill.

Zu An said coldly, “I’ve been letting you attack this entire time. I should take a turn now, no?”

The moment he spoke, water ripples appeared behind him. Golden weapons slowly flew out one after another.
