The Unique Guardian Beast Master in Cultivation World

Chapter 642: Chapter 372: Backstab_2

The current situation, however, is that she simply has no choice because it isn’t just one such Da Kun, but a whole Kun Group, and this group is in the process of annihilating the Hanhai Dynasty she painstakingly built over countless years.

No need to mention the time of years or even months, not even three days, three hours; the valuable assets that took her a hundred years to amass will be obliterated overnight.

“Is your counterattack so futile that you also have to resort to it?”

Observing the first encounter between the Merfolk Queen and Da Kun, where Da Kun took a divine attack without any defense, Feng Qing’an arrogantly inquired as if he was the one who had received the attack.

The ones he was questioning were not the despairing Merfolk Queen, whose eyes were filled with sorrow, but the strong Merfolk from the Dong Xuan Realm who had gathered from all around.

Looking at the current situation, they had already formed their thoughts, mumbled to themselves, and even though they had gathered together, none of them dared to take action as directly as the Merfolk queen did.

Having reached their level of cultivation, they had a lifespan of fifteen hundred years, and those with special bloodlines could perhaps live even longer. Why would they be willing to risk such a lengthy life for the continuation of their race?

The world is a vast place and there is more than just this batch of Merfolk; even if they were to go extinct, as long as they protect themselves and escape to another place, they could still rule their own domain.

“This has nothing to do with me, I do not wish to involve myself in it!”

A Human Immortal from the Merfolk, without any fear on his face, immediately made his stand when questioned by a human whose aura was so weak. The overall situation forces one to submit, one’s life and property are paramount.

“May I respectfully ask if you would allow me to leave?”

“What do you think?”

Feng Qing’an asked back with a sneer.

“It seems you wish to eliminate us all”

The first to speak was the Merfolk Human Immortal, who disregarded the Merfolk Queen’s displeased gaze and the materialised intention to kill. His eyes revealed a sense of hopelessness.

“If I let you go, wouldn’t I have to let them go as well? Releasing the strongest bunch of you Merfolk, I wouldn’t sleep soundly afterward”

Feng Qing’an sighed deeply, his face showing helplessness, as if he had been forced into a decision that was not of his own choosing.

“It seems…”

Another Merfolk Human Immortal interrupts, revealing a cold look on his face. With a wave of his hand, a pitch-black spear that seemed to swallow all light appeared in his hand, like a peerless beast releasing an extremely terrifying aura.

“Why are you in such a hurry when the talk isn’t even over? There’s maneuvering room. If you truly don’t want to conflict with me, you can swear a Heavenly Dao oath to serve under my command. This way, you will be by my side at all times, and I will feel relieved.”

Feng Qing’an’s face was calm, as if he was talking about something perfectly logical.

“I was born of noble birth and have lived for eight hundred years till today. I have never been subjected to any assignment, living a life of extravagance. I do not intend to have any change in the remaining life, and if your intention is to do so, I vow to resist even at the cost of my life.”

Which of these Human Immortals at this place were not born extraordinary? The proposal from a junior with such a light aura to make them his servants, without even placing them on an equal footing, was unacceptable to them. Each of them reacted quite dramatically and were ready to fight to the death.

“Are you really not leaving us any choice, forcing us into a corner?”

A human immortal spoke up, seemingly not wanting to go into actual combat. After all, the strengths and weaknesses were clear at sight. If a fight were to occur, they would only find ways to send their True Spirits to reincarnation, and everything they owned that existed in this life would simply vanish.

“Alright, seeing that you are so resolute, I am not a bloodthirsty person either.”

Feng Qing’an sighed slightly and seemed somewhat helpless. Seeing this, the expressions of the numerous Merfolk Human Immortals, who had been icy cold and serious, relaxed slightly.

“Then I’ll give you another chance. If you still can’t grasp it, you can’t blame me.”

“Please demonstrate your methods!”

“Honestly, I have no interest in you, but she did pique my interest. Unfortunately, she is relentless, refusing to yield even in face of death. Therefore, whoever succeeds in making her submit to me can leave this place with no further inquiry.”

The Merfolk Queen, pale and exhausted, pointed with her hand, even closing her eyes so she didn’t have to witness the suffering of her subjects.

However, when she heard Feng Qing’an’s words, her eyes flew open. Her irises were like two celestial swords, so golden and radiant that she seemed ready to pierce Feng Qing’an and slice him in two.

Yet the most extreme reactions came solely from the Merfolk Queen. In comparison, the other Merfolk Immortals looked at each other, faces showing a hint of suspicion, then comprehension. An agreement had passed silently between them.

“Are your words genuine?”

“Absolutely, I will not go back on my word.”

Feng Qing’an solemnly swore, pointing to the heavens,

“If I am untrue, may I face divine condemnation!”

At these words, all the Merfolk Immortals were stunned, showcasing a wide range of facial expressions. The greatest expression change naturally came from the queen herself; the rage in her eyes had materialized, glaring at those Immortals who had pledged allegiance to her.

Though no words have been spoken at this time, their repositioning without a sound had already shown their intentions.

“Your Honor, would you mind if we use some rather brutal means?”

The Merfolk Immortals circled their queen, their collective energy forming a barrier separating her from the world outside, eliminating her chances of escape. After doing so, they turned to ask Feng Qing’an for his opinion.

“As long as you give me a live one, I don’t mind whatever violent method you use. After all, at your stage, you can regenerate any part of your body, can’t you?”

Feng Qing’an folded his arms and grinned, turning his attention to the ensuing drama below.

“How could you treat me like this, after all I’ve done for you?”

“Your Majesty, we are only suffering because of your negligence, we are merely trying to protect ourselves.”

“Exactly, Your Majesty, we agree with his words. All these calamities could have been avoided if you were more observant. As a sacrifice for our group’s survival, we request you to surrender.”

“Absurd!”

Although she had the body of a female, her vision and mentality were not undermined in any regard. With all the ambition and desires of a monarch, how could the Merfolk Queen accept such humiliation?

Hence, an internal fight amongst the Merfolk broke out. All the Da Kun backed away, giving these Merfolk ample space for their internal strife.

Feng Qing’an watched this scripted fight with interest, despite the Merfolk Queen being the most talented person here, with the highest Cultivation.

But, as they say, no one can fight against the majority. She and the other Merfolk Immortals were on the same level.

The difference in the immortal power was simply one of quantities. She could fight two, or even three, but no matter what she couldn’t take on five.

She has immortal tools, but these Merfolk, by combining their resources, could come up with two or three of such tools. She had no advantage, and within half an hour of this battle, her loss was apparent.

Just a full hour later, her gigantic projection was shattered, revealing her original, merely twenty-foot tall Merfolk body.

No doubt, she was an incredibly attractive female Merfolk. Her top half resembled that of human females, and needless to say, was enchanting and magnificent. Her golden scaled fishtail, though not at all related to humans, had a unique beauty that made even Feng Qing’an want to reach out and touch.
