Zongman: All Heavens and Worlds Begin with the Devil's Curse

There's no reason to win against a defeated opponent again.

He was thinking of a way to escape.

Perhaps after defeating and sealing the water demon Basha, there's still a way to escape.

It's difficult, but there's always a way.

"Then let's start with you as the first step!" Tieguai Li exclaimed, repeatedly forming hand seals to enhance the power of the magic weapon in his hand.

That attraction acted directly on Bazaar.

"You did it the same way back then, and now you want to use the same trick on me again?!" Basha roared furiously.

Her body was no longer recognizable, and it was being pulled and stretched for a long time by the suction force of the gourd as it twisted and turned.

"At least it's useful to you," Tieguai Li said.

He let go, allowing the gourd to float a few inches above his shoulder, while he freed his hands to silently support his cane.

On the other side, Basha resisted the gourd's attraction and her body transformed into a stream of water with a splash, speeding towards the coastline not far away.

"Old man, come to my home turf if you dare!" Basha's figure vanished in an instant.

Tieguai Li's eyes darted around, and he laughed heartily, saying, "I couldn't be happier."

He stomped his foot and immediately chased after Basha's figure.

Being able to shift the battlefield is undoubtedly a good thing for him.

After all, the pressure from the two demons beside him was simply too great.

As for Bazaar's home turf, to be honest, he doesn't take it seriously.

Basha's form transformed into a stream of water that rushed into the sea, with Tieguai Li following closely behind, his feet firmly planted on the sky above the sea.

"Give up. Even if you are full of resentment and want revenge, I am not a mortal you can easily control. Why not... put aside your pride and call your brother to fight, even if that makes me look down on you."

Tieguai Li laughed loudly, his words laced with barbs as he provoked Basha.

He almost figured out Basha's personality.

"Oh? Is that so?" A magnificent echo resounded from the seabed. "Perhaps you don't know just how much stronger I have become compared to before?"

"so what?"

Tieguai Li narrowed his eyes, gazing through the surface of the sea at the deep seabed.

His confidence stems from his past experiences, but even more so from his deep belief in his ability to restrain himself from Bazaar.

It is by no means so easy to break.

A figure appeared on the other side of the sky, but Zhou Lan showed no concern and simply fulfilled her duty as an audience member.

"Troublesome." Tieguai Li glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, then secretly composed himself.

However, a question popped into my mind.

"Where did He Xiangu go?"

Chapter 228 Basha's Revenge

Undoubtedly.

Tieguai Li's restraint towards Basha was very obvious.

As a water demon, Basha's mechanics are extremely unique.

She is not merely immortal; her ability to transform her body into water makes her completely immune to any type of physical and energy attack.

Just like in the world of One Piece, no attack with a physical form can harm her.

It's nothing more than being broken into streams of water, and then coming together again.

But Tieguai Li is somewhat different.

He activated the gourd, which was not simply an attack, but rather he used Basha's watery body as a source of power, absorbing and suppressing it with his own magical artifact.

He didn't need to use any kind of attack against Basha.

This is precisely the source of his confidence.

Just as I did in the beginning, restraint is that simple.

"If you think diving to the bottom of the sea will be useful, then you are sorely mistaken." Tieguai Li looked at the sea surface and said with disdain:

“Even an entire ocean, I can command the gourd to swallow it whole. Moreover, even at your peak, you did not possess power exceeding mine.”

“Stagnation.” Basha sneered. As her voice fell, boundless waves surged high, stretching from east to west into a wall that reached the sky and the earth.

A massive shadow loomed over Tieguai Li.

The waves of this magnitude far exceed the level of a tsunami, with the crests reaching into the sky.

Tieguai Li raised his head, and the crest of the tide had already blocked out the sun, the sunlight disappearing behind it.

His expression tightened, and he used his cane to press down, causing the gourd on his shoulder to suddenly unleash immense suction.

In an instant, all the tide rushed toward the gourd and was swallowed up.

This tiny gourd seemed to hold a hidden world within it, instantly filling a million tons of seawater without showing any abnormalities.

"I've already told you, if you try to fight me, you'll only lose," Tieguai Li said in a deep voice.

No matter how strong Bazaar is, she can't surpass him.

"It feels so familiar, what a pity..." The seawater leaped into the sky, the waves rose again, and Basha's voice echoed with the waves.

"I am no longer the water demon I once was."

Her voice suddenly dropped to a low pitch, then rose to an incredibly high pitch.

"Greetings, Master of New Atlantis!"

Basha's voice flowed through every drop of seawater, just like her power.

Like a pale blue shadow, it instantly covered the entire sea area.

Unconsciously, she imbued these seawaters with extraordinary power.

The power she obtained from another world.

Tieguai Li's magic gourd was still absorbing the rushing seawater, but he could sense that the gourd was getting heavier and heavier.

Bazaar seems to have enhanced the quality of these seawaters, making them different from before.

Wave after wave of waves, like knights charging before a queen, charged toward the enemy.

Bazaar seemed completely unconcerned as Tieguai Li absorbed her as he pleased.

From the moment she resolved to take revenge herself, she had already sealed her victory.

Tieguai Li did indeed restrain her to some extent, but that was in the past.

She has long since transcended her past.

Millions of years ago, the water demon who ruled over a few oceans with his brothers and sisters was long gone.

Now, she is the queen of another world, New Atlantis, and the master of countless marine races.

Bazaar's new Atlantis encompasses an entire planet.

A sufficiently powerful force can break through all barriers.

Even the most powerful magical artifacts have their limits.

Bazaar's figure transformed into towering waves, reaching down to the deep sea and up to the clouds.

"Times have changed, you old fool, yet you still view me with outdated perspectives." Basha's voice was as cold as deep-sea water, icy and piercing.

With a wave of her hand, boundless waves surged toward Tieguai Li.

The continuous seawater seemed endless, like an entire ocean?

No, in terms of quality, it's far more than that.

Tieguai Li's expression finally changed.

He felt his magic gourd tremble beside him.

Everything has its limits.

And it's almost at its limit.

"My power is boundless!" Basha transformed into the sea, propelling countless tons of seawater into the sky.

If she wanted, with her current power, she could easily unleash a great flood worthy of being recorded in epic tales.

A cataclysmic disaster that would engulf all civilizations.

Now, however, all her criticism is directed at Tieguai Li.

"Impossible, demon! No one knows your power better than me. You couldn't possibly have done this!" Tieguai Li was momentarily speechless.

His magic weapon was about to give way.

But the seawater was still surging up.

He couldn't remove the suction unless he wanted to be overwhelmed by the towering waves.

But he couldn't continue, because the gourd was about to burst.

"I've lost!" Tieguai Li cried out urgently, quickly pressing his hand down on the gourd.

With Zhou Lan and the Holy Lord, two demons, watching him intently from the sidelines, he accepted defeat without any psychological pressure.

Even if they defeat Basha, they might not be able to escape.

At least try to protect your precious treasure.

But it's clear that Bazaar doesn't want him to have an easy time.

The surging waves were like an inverted world, like a mountain standing upside down; the situation was no longer under Tieguai Li's control.

The endless seawater continued to pour into the gourd.

It trembled and cracked.

Tieguai Li was extremely anxious, but his vision was filled with the shadows of Bo Tao.

Finally, a loud bang rang in my ears.

Tieguai Li stood blankly in the air, gazing up at the seawater falling from the sky in a daze.

The seawater crashed down, swallowing everything.

A moment later, the world was calm.

Basha, now in human form, laughed as she dragged a wet and disheveled figure in front of Zhou Lan and the Holy Lord.

"I have won. Now it's up to you to do what you want with me," Basha shouted triumphantly.

She made no attempt to hide the joy on her face after personally defeating her nemesis.

Only now did Tieguai Li seem to awaken from his confusion, glaring angrily at the demons.

"The world is in balance of Yin and Yang. If you have the ability, then destroy me completely!" he boasted.

"Oh?" A smile appeared on Zhou Lan's face. "Yin and Yang balance? I didn't know that."

"Do you know?" Zhou Lan looked at the Holy Lord.

Saint Mother frowned and shrugged.

"And what about you? My sister." Zhou Lan then looked at Basha.

Basha crossed her arms and looked smug.

“The balance of Yin and Yang, the struggle between the two energies, was broken long ago by your own people,” Zhou Lan said with a smile to Tieguai Li. “Unfortunately, it happened today.”

"How...could this be?" Tieguai Li said, each word distinct and his expression blank and dazed.

What met his gaze and filled his entire vision was Zhou Lan's outstretched hand and a detached remark.

"Want to be completely destroyed? It's easy, but that would be too blissful..."

"Don't worry, your good days are yet to come."
