Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 479 Daphne's Strength
stare--

Daphne's gaze remained fixed on Chen Qi for a long time. Her gaze was cold and piercing, as if she possessed X-ray vision, able to see even the heart beneath his clothes.

Why are you looking at me? Have I been discovered? Chen Qi couldn't help but feel a chill.

Under the restrictions of the Forbidden Rift rules, he had no strength whatsoever to contend with a fifth-tier transcendent being.

Moreover, Daphne, who was born with an innate affinity for life, is also an outstanding member of the fifth tier.

Chen Qi tried to remain silent, while also staring at Daphne.

Daphne stared at him expressionlessly.

This guy has a poker face... Chen Qi thought to himself.

"Cough cough..."

Daphne only looked away from Chen Qi when the little crow coughed and boldly walked up to her.

"Don't look anymore!" The little crow trembled, afraid that Chen Qi would be recognized.

"Sister, are you sure you haven't chosen the wrong person?!" Covered in bruises, Eileen abruptly stood up and hugged her sister.

"Big sister! I knew you would come to save me!"

"Big sister! Give me a kiss!!"

"..."

Daphne dodged Eileen's embrace with a quick step.

She sheathed the long sword in her hand and said in a flat, even voice:
“Eileen, you are too weak. If you can’t even beat your own lover, what power do you have to rule this island?”

"..."

Eileen pursed her lips.

The Canary family values ​​strength. Among fourth-tier extraordinary individuals, she is not among the top tier, and to this day, there is no possibility of her advancing to the fifth tier.

On the ground, Ida, who was paralyzed on one side, pressed her hand to her throat and said in pain:
"Daphne! You attacked me, the Flower and Bird Court will not let you get away with this..."

"I...I...am...the owner of this place!"

In the Kingdom of Golden Birds, the Canary Family is not without enemies.

The Banshee family, on the left side of the kingdom, has always regarded the Canary family as their greatest enemy.

To prevent the Canary family from expanding unchecked, they have consistently demanded that the Canary family stop using marriage alliances to expand their territory.

This year, the King also expressed strong dissatisfaction with the expansion of the Canary family.

Daphne's intervention undoubtedly provided a perfect excuse for a banshee family.

Ida said hoarsely:
How dare you attack me!

Daphne lowered her head, looking down at the half-crippled Ida on the ground, and said with utmost calmness:
"I'm just protecting my family."

"If I really wanted to kill you, you wouldn't even have an eye by now."

"..."

Ada was speechless.

Even though Daphne had committed a serious crime, he dared not say anything more in the face of such a huge difference in strength.

Even a fourth-tier legendary figure must bow down before a fifth-tier saint.

"Big sister! You're so cool! You clearly said you would never fight for me."

You were just saying that out of anger! I'm the most beloved little sister, aren't I?

Eileen blushed deeply.

"I didn't come here for you."

Daphne crouched down and asked:

“Ada, answer me, why are you looking for that sacrifice? And tell me what that sacrifice looks like.”

Offerings… Ida looked at Daphne.

As expected, Daphne was also very interested in the offerings for the sacred beast!
After all, out of millions of people, there is usually only one person who is qualified to become a sacrifice to the sacred beast!

"Alright, Daphne, but remember, everything that happened today will be reported to the ministers of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom..."

Under the butler's care, Ada began to explain the matter of the offerings to Daphne in detail.

Offerings!

"He's here for me again!" Chen Qi thought to himself, cursing incessantly.

Ever since he came to the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, everyone in the Golden Flower King Kingdom has wanted to pursue him!

Am I being wanted with a red-name warrant on my head? Chen Qi grabbed the little crow's hand and, taking advantage of the moment, decisively left the place, heading towards the edge of the city.

ten minutes later.

They didn't catch up... Chen Qi swallowed a mouthful of water.

Fortunately, the Ember Beast managed to use Ada to pursue him.

But aside from its appearance, it offers almost no useful information.

The light of dusk fell on the two fleeing figures.

Chen Qi and the little crow arrived at the market on the edge of the City of Ocean Flowers.

"Whew, whew, that's terrifying! There really are superhumans above the fourth rank in this world!"

The little crow gasped for breath; she had always thought that the fifth rank was an ancient legend.

After escaping, the little crow wiped the sweat from its brow and looked at Chen Qi with curiosity.

She became increasingly curious about the man who had kidnapped her, and even developed a slight liking for him.

"A little!" the little crow asked.
"Hey! Qi, why are they chasing you?"

Chenqi's hand is even stronger than Whale Father's.

You're just a little crow, it's hard for me to explain to you... Chen Qi looked at the curious little crow and said sincerely:
"If I had to say, I have a special bloodline."

"A special bloodline..."

The little crow raised its head, its eyes lighting up:
"You have succubus blood!"

"No."

Chen Qi waved his hand in rejection.

"Really? Are you interested in becoming a succubus? I heard that the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom has succubus class cards."

The little crow tiptoed and looked at Chenqi.

If Chen Qi had succubus blood, she could explain why she felt a strange attraction to the man who had kidnapped her.

She even found it strangely enjoyable, an indescribable joy, to run around with Chen Qi like this.

boom!
"Believe it or not, I'll turn you into a succubus too."

Chen Yong tapped the little crow on the head.

Anyway, this is a mirror world, so as long as it doesn't interfere with passing through the rift, he can do whatever he wants.

"do not want!"

The little raven immediately objected, saying she didn't want to become a succubus, such a strange profession.

"By the way! Qi, where are we going next?"

Just then, the little crow excitedly said:
"During that dangerous moment, I had an epiphany! Soon, I will be able to create the Great Sage's potion!"

Next… Chen Qi thought for a moment.

To defeat the Ember Beast and Ada, his first priority is the Great Sage's Potion for the little raven.

Besides that, there are Tier 4 class cards.

Currently, in the Sea Flower City where rifts are scarce, the only ways to obtain Tier 4 class cards are through Daphne and the Thorn Family.

I don't have much time left. The longer I delay, the more dangerous it will become.

Daphne… A sudden inspiration struck me at dawn.

Although Daphne is also tracking her, her territory is the only place that possesses a Tier 4 class card.

"We have to take a gamble..." Chen Qi said.
"Find a hotel first, then contact Daphne."

"Daphne!"

The little crow cried out in alarm.

Has Chen Qi gone mad?!
Those are fifth-tier transcendent beings! Their power and spirit are beyond human comprehension!

A fifth-tier transcendent being can cut people down like vegetables!

Even if Chen Qi is a succubus among succubi, it is of no use against a fifth-tier transcendent!
"Qi...you really are a madman...but I'm a pirate now too!"

The little crow twirled its hair with its index finger:
"Tell me when you've made your plans."

Although unwilling to admit it, the little crow no longer dislikes being used by Chen Qi, and even enjoys it a little.

Anyway, it's all the same no matter where you work.

The little crow stretched and yawned:
"At least for now, it's safe."

Just then, the little crow suddenly heard a ticking sound and quickly turned its head to look at a corner of the alley.

In the corner of the alley, a man lay there, motionless.

tramp?
The little crow muttered to itself.

Suddenly, the man's limbs twisted like a puppet, making creaking sounds, and he rushed towards Chen Qi.

"Wakuwaku (Master! Enemy!!)" "Watch out! Activate!"

The little crow shrieked.

A sharp blade flashed, leaving a straight line of blood on her neck.

"Blade Slash!"

A crimson figure emerged from the shadows, slashing with a blade that struck the little crow in the chest.

If Water Sprite No. 1 hadn't jumped up in time to block the attack, the little crow would have been split in two!

However, the attacks are far from over.

A scarlet notification suddenly popped up in Chen Qi's mind.

On this path of forging legends, the shadows of the past will not let you go; like a hungry wolf following a scent, they will find you.

However, this is history, and in that history, your power is insignificant compared to his, like an ant on the ground!

Perhaps he also regretted not nipping you in the bud sooner!

In this way, they wouldn't be in their current predicament.

And now, this world has given him this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity again!

[Special mission obtained: Survival.]

【Mission Description: Survive for one minute while being hunted by another traveler, the 'Blood Hunter'】.

Mission Reward: Increased Rift rating will grant an additional treasure chest reward upon completion.

"Got you!"

A beast-like red light flashed in the Blood Hunter's eyes as he drew his second longsword from his waist and slashed forward.

Unleash! Holy Light! Chen Qi drew his black blade, bracing himself against the Blood Hunter's double-edged slash.

clang!
The immense difference in strength caused Chen Qi's arm to ache and his bones to shatter.

A massive blade of energy swept past, carving a crack dozens of meters long across the street.

Two pedestrians even died on the spot in the street.

"Help!"

"Hunter's Guild! Help us!"

"Guards! A fourth-tier legendary figure! A legendary figure is attacking!"

The entire street was instantly plunged into unprecedented panic.

The Blood Hunter ignored the wails of the crowd and gently twirled the blade in his hand—the Blood Blade.

This is a knife he is very proud of; it can absorb blood and greatly enhance the power of his weapon.

Unfortunately, he hasn't upgraded this knife to the 'Unique Item in the Rift' level yet.

Nevertheless, compared to the forbidden weapon in his hand, Chen Qi's black blade was far too fragile.

Just by blocking that one attack, a noticeable crack appeared on the black blade.

In the real world, the two are evenly matched.

But as the crack hints, this will be a pure numerical crushing game.

What is your Rift quest?

Chen Qi asked, and then drank the medicine from his waist.

"Kill my former enemy. If I kill him, I might be able to advance to the sixth rank and become a god."

The Blood Hunter replied:

"But the Whale Father's mission is above the mission of the Rift, above the false hatred."

Upon seeing Chen Qi, the Blood Hunter unusually spoke at length.

He will die if he cannot clear the rift.

After killing Chen Qi here, he probably will never have the chance to kill his former enemy, that distant and unreachable enemy.

The whale father saved him, and he must repay the whale father, even if it costs him his life.

"..."

The Blood Hunter drew the three knives from his waist:

"Black Hunter, excuse me."

You have taken the Deep Sea Devil Drug...

You have taken the Shark Transformation Potion...

He took a deep breath and drank all the potions made by the little crow. His muscles bulged and his power exploded.

He's just left the beginner village, hasn't even farmed any slimes yet, and is already going to challenge the Demon King!
Now, he must rely on the little raven's potion to fight the blood hunter before him.

Chen Qi dropped the medicine bottle and launched the attack.

clang! clang! clang! clang!
The two sides clashed, creating thousands of waves!
Unlike the potions made by Finn, the potions made by Little Crow have maximum lethality!

Soon, his body reached its limit, unleashing unprecedented power.

"Wakuwaku (Master! I'm here to help you!)"

Water Sprite Number One leaped up and charged towards the Blood Hunter.

Using the Holy Light Knight's Holy Light spell... Chen Qi seized the opportunity and slashed at the Blood Hunter's waist.

“Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola!!!”

To protect its master, Water Sprite No. 1 exhausted all its spiritual power and kept unleashing powerful Water Burst Punches!
The shockwaves generated by the battle between the two sides overturned all the vendors' stalls on the street!

clang!
[Traveler, you have completed your mission! You successfully survived for one minute under the Blood Hunter's blade!]

Chen Qi's pupils contracted; he had barely withstood the first wave of attacks.

"call……"

Suddenly, the Blood Hunter abandoned his attack, stopped wielding his blade, and sheathed the Blood Blade.

Black Hunter, you are a formidable enemy... Blood Hunter took a deep breath.

In just ten days, Chen Qi has actually managed to fight him head-on.

I wonder who would win between him and Chen Qi in the real world if there were no rift to restrict them.

"call……"

The Blood Hunter closed his eyes, assumed a drawing-slash stance, and unleashed a tremendous burst of blade energy from his body.

"Blade disintegration..."

However, no matter how strong Chen Qi is, under the restrictions of the Rift Rules, he is ultimately only a third-tier being, a third-tier transcendent being.

Faced with the liberation of a fourth-tier transcendent being, he had no room for resistance.

Goodbye... Blood Hunter twists his blade.

brush!
In an instant, everyone on the street turned into blood, becoming the fuel for his release and liberation!
A crimson wind swept over everyone, and Chen Qi and Little Crow already had hundreds of wounds on their bodies.

Chen Qi took a deep breath, thinking about how to escape.

Undoubtedly, he is currently powerless to confront the liberation head-on.

A petite figure braved the fierce winds of liberation and rushed forward.

"Wakuwaku (Master! Don't worry!)"

Water Sprite No. 1's eyes were more resolute than ever before.

Its owner saved it, raised it, and made it the eldest brother!
Now is the time to save our master!
"Number One..."

Chen Qi froze.

Now, only Number One can stop the Blood Hunters from unleashing their power.

However, even Water Sprite No. 1 would die if it faced the Blood Hunters' concentrated release!

"Blade Dissection: Crimson Tsunami!"

Blood Hunter stepped forward, swung his arms with all his might, lightning flashed, creating a hundred-meter-deep crater in the ground, and unleashed his final strike towards Chen Qi and the others.

The crimson blade energy, like a thousand-meter-long python, instantly turned the entire street into ruins!
"Bye now……"

The Blood Hunter said with relief that his mission was finally coming to an end.

"Wakuwaku (Water Sprite Wall!)"

The water sprite closed its eyes, expanded its body, and transformed itself into a shield to block the liberation that was like a blood-red tsunami.

It stood like a city wall, blocking Chenqi, the little crow, and the fleeing civilians.

Boom!

The massive blade of energy ripped through the ground, creating thousands of cracks.

"Ok?"

Water Sprite No. 1 was stunned. Why didn't it feel any pain?

Could it be that I've become strong enough to defeat my master?

Water Sprite No. 1 reopened its eyes, raised its little head, and found a woman in silver armor standing in front of it amidst the swirling dust!
"Tell me your name."

Daphne placed a finger across her chest and coldly stared at the fourth-tier hunter before her.
