"Based solely on personal preference, without considering evidence?"

Chang Yongxin couldn't help but murmur Qiao Suinian's words, his eyes filled with shock.

To kill someone simply because of his whim—what an arrogant mindset and how confident he must be in his own abilities to say such a thing?

[Note: Chang Yongxin has detected that you are extremely arrogant. The current upgrade progress of the Evil God's Power is 1/100.]

Um?

Qiao Suinian was stunned for a moment. So this is how the arrogant emotions of the final stage of the evil god's power are collected? Does that mean all he needs to do now is show off everywhere?

"You think you're qualified to say something like that, killing people just because you feel like it?"

Shi Yushan sneered, his face full of disdain.

"Lord Chang, have you seen this clearly? This isn't because I wanted to take action; this kid is courting death!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shi Yushan launched a fierce attack.

"Dance of the Muddy Waters!"

The seawater next to them was directly pumped up by Shi Yushan. Tons of seawater seemed to be manipulated by an invisible hand, and it started to spin, forming a terrifying waterspout that rushed towards Qiao Suinian.

"Young Brother Ye, be careful! This Shi Yushan is a water-based mage; I have to be wary of him even at sea!"

Seeing that he couldn't stop the fight, Chang Yongxin could only remind Qiao Suinian. He had already made up his mind that if Qiao Suinian was no match for Shi Yushan, he would save him even if it meant offending Baili Pavilion!

Faced with the raging waterspout, Qiao Suinian's response was simple: he charged up his Dark Flame Storm, then drew his sword to cleave the water!

The Dark Flame Shadow Slash, aided by the Bright Night Dragon Blade, cleaved the water tornado in two!

It is said that you can't cut water with a knife, but Qiao Suinian clearly proved this saying wrong with his actions. The waterspout was split in two and could not be put back together for a long time.

Not only that, the terrifying blade of light, after cleaving through the water tornado, continued its momentum and slashed directly towards Shiyu Mountain.

"What?!"

Shi Yushan was startled, his hair standing on end. He sensed a deadly danger from the blade and dared not resist, so he quickly dodged to the side.

The blade struck the beach, carving a deep trench in the sand.

Shi Yushan felt a wave of fear wash over him. He realized he had clearly underestimated the young man in front of him. If he had dodged that slash a little later, he would have been split in two like that waterspout.

"Water Spirit Returns to the Realm!"

Thinking of this, Shi Yushan dared not hold back any longer and used all his strength.

The surrounding seawater seemed to boil, bubbling and gurgling, while Shi Yushan rose into the air and floated above the sea surface.

"Shui Ling, rise!"

With a loud shout from Shi Yushan, a giant that blotted out the sky rose from the sea. This giant was made entirely of seawater and exuded an incomparably terrifying aura.

"Kid, you shouldn't have gone against me! Go to hell and repent!" Shi Yushan laughed loudly, seemingly emboldened by Shui Ling's appearance.

"Comparing sizes? You dare to challenge me?" Qiao Suinian remained completely calm, bringing his hand to his mouth and biting down. "Shadow of the Evil God!"

A massive portal appeared, and then the shadow of the evil god pushed it open and walked out. Its size was even larger and more imposing than the water spirit summoned by Shi Yushan.

The contrast between the two figures, one black and one transparent, was striking.

Chang Yongxin and the others were stunned. Chang Yongxin suddenly felt very fortunate that he hadn't let Qiao Suinian and Shi Yushan make a move in Blue Ocean City. If they had made a move in the city, the sheer amount of destruction that the two giants could have caused was terrifying.

But Chang Yongxin was clearly wrong. He thought that the appearance of these two giants would lead to a fierce battle, but reality soon gave him a pleasant surprise.

With a single punch, the shadow of the evil god blasted away the water spirit summoned by Shi Yushan, causing it to dissipate into a cloud of water vapor.

"How is this possible?!"

Shi Yushan's voice was as sharp as a duck being choked. The Water Spirit Return to the Realm was his strongest trump card, yet it was so easily countered.

What kind of monster did he provoke?

After defeating Shui Ling, the Shadow of the Evil God continued its momentum, swatting Shi Yushan away like a fly. Shi Yushan crashed heavily into the rocks on the shore, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

In fact, if the terrain hadn't been favorable to Shi Yushan, he wouldn't have lasted this long under Qiao Suinian.

The shadow of the evil god slowly dissipated, and Qiao Suinian walked towards Shi Yushan with a knife in his hand. The steady and orderly footsteps sounded to Shi Yushan like a death warrant from the King of Hell.

"You dare kill me? Do you know who I am? If you dare kill me, you will pay with your life!" Shi Yushan shouted hoarsely.

Qiao Suinian was taken aback by his words and couldn't help but stop and hesitate.

At this point, Chang Yongxin finally realized what was happening and quickly tried to persuade him.

"Brother Ye, Shi Yushan has the backing of Baili Pavilion. Just teach him a lesson; there's no need to take his life. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble!"

"What?! The power he's backing is actually the Baili Pavilion?" Qiao Suinian exclaimed in surprise, his face full of shock.

Upon seeing this, Shi Yushan immediately became more assertive.

"Not bad! Boy, if you dare kill me, Baili Pavilion..."

Before Shi Yushan could finish speaking, a long knife pierced his heart. Shi Yushan stared blankly at the knife, his face filled with disbelief.

The moment the knife pierced his heart, his brain suddenly shrank, and he couldn't understand what was happening before his eyes.

"What kind of trash organization is Baili Pavilion? Never heard of it." Qiao Suinian's expression returned to normal, looking indifferent.

Shi Yushan suddenly realized: "I understand! You were deliberately playing me!"

"Very clever, here's your reward: beheading."

With a flick of her wrist, Qiao Suinian sent Shi Yushan's head rolling off.

He now has a habit of beheading almost every person he kills, since who knows if the other person might have had a similar adventure and have some kind of corpse?

Once you cut off the head, you're basically safe. Even zombies die when their heads are cut off, let alone humans.

"Oh dear! Brother Ye, you shouldn't have killed him. The Baili Pavilion behind that guy is known for its vengeful nature!" Chang Yongxin said with a worried expression.

He wasn't heartbroken about Shi Yushan's death; in fact, he wished the guy would die sooner than anyone else. What worried him was that Qiao Suinian would face retaliation from Baili Pavilion.

"It's alright, Lord Chang. How can I kill others but others can't kill me? If Baili Pavilion wants revenge, then let them come," Qiao Suinian said with a smile.

"Hey! You..."

Chang Yongxin frowned, then took out a fist-sized bead from his pocket and handed it to Qiao Suinian. The bead exuded a strong evil aura.

"Brother Ye, this is the demon pearl you wanted! I already know about the Light-Salt Eight-Eyed Eel. Leave the rest to me. You should leave now!"
