158: Defeat the overlord of the sea!

Currently, Xia Fan was at the late-stage of Tier 4, and with the Magic Cat possessing him, his true strength had already reached the peak of Tier 4.

It was already impossible for him to be easily controlled by the Blue Octopus King’s soul.

The protection of the eastern emperor bell was merely a preventative measure.

As Xia Fan’s mood calmed, the Blue Octopus King also followed closely, and Xia Fan’s expression became stern as he shouted in a deep voice, “Fight!”

Whoosh!

In an instant, Xia Fan plunged directly into the sea, deciding to proactively fight the Blue Octopus King. After all, he had spiritual items like the water spirit fruit, coupled with various abilities. Although he was in the water now, it was not much different from being on land or in the sky, and it wouldn't significantly affect his combat power.

Crack—

Suddenly, a loud noise spread.

When Xia Fan looked forward, he saw the Blue Octopus King forcefully twitch a tentacle in the seawater. The terrifying power contained within it directly formed a vacuum bubble in the water, which then shot towards him.

He made a decisive move, immediately applying King Kong Transformation to his four limbs, and then raised his hand to strike.

Pfft!

One of the Blue Octopus King’s tentacles was directly severed by him, but after lightning-fast retraction, the tentacle returned to its original state, looking no different from before.

Seeing this, Xia Fan couldn't help but get excited, muttering to himself, “It seems this guy, like Yamata no Orochi, possesses the power of regeneration!”

This was great news for him, because the stronger the enemy, the more benefits he would gain after devouring it.

“This Octopus King is truly a treasure!”

At this moment, Xia Fan stared at the Blue Octopus King with great excitement, his heart surging, “It possesses the power of regeneration, plus the ability to apply heavy water and control souls—every single one is top-tier!”

“It’s just a pity that you met this King!”

“How dare you!”

Across from him, the Blue Octopus King seemed to sense Xia Fan’s excitement, all stemming from his greed for its flesh and blood. It immediately became enraged, waving its tentacles and attacking!

As one of the overlords of the sea, when had the Blue Octopus King ever been provoked like this? And right in front of him!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Fierce collisions erupted in the depths of the ocean.

Xia Fan dodged and twisted, and with every strike, he could almost sever the Blue Octopus King's tentacles, but the opponent's recovery ability was also very fast, rendering his efforts largely ineffective.

Seeing this, he directly applied Rage Berserk Technique to himself. As long as the attack wasn't too troublesome, he chose to endure it head-on.

“Frost Breath!”

Xia Fan opened his mouth and exhaled a burst of extremely cold air, which almost instantly froze the seawater in front of him. The large number of bubbles within the giant ice blocked the view.

Thus, he continued to roar, and a purple energy beam shot directly towards the Blue Octopus King.

“Purple Crystal Sun Piercer!”

Rumble!

As the two terrifying forces collided, the giant ice shattered. The energy beam released after casting Purple Crystal Sun Piercer clashed with the Blue Octopus King's heavy water pillars.

After a long standoff, the two forces dissipated.

“Damn it!”

“Are you ever going to stop?”

As Xia Fan was about to continue his attack, he saw the Blue Octopus King launching heavy water pillars almost without restraint, and immediately cursed.

Although the lethality of this heavy water was not strong, it had to be said that it was very impactful. Even he was often pushed away by the force within the heavy water pillars, making him flustered for a while!

“Become my slave!”

Seeing him struggling and being pushed away by the heavy water pillars once again, the Blue Octopus King immediately let out a sinister laugh and instantly cast a soul control technique. A massive soul fluctuation surged directly into Xia Fan's mind.

However, this soul fluctuation came and went without causing the slightest ripple. After all, this was in front of the eastern emperor bell, and it could not pose any threat to Xia Fan’s soul.

“I was already prepared for you!”

Seeing its surprised expression, Xia Fan scoffed, but his anger reached its peak at this moment. He immediately let out a furious roar, and his aura suddenly surged under the enhancement of Rage Berserk Technique.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

This time, Xia Fan directly used immense force to pummel the Blue Octopus King, making its entire body tremble with each attack and causing it to cry out in pain from its severed tentacles.

However, this Blue Octopus King, possessing the power of regeneration and being extremely cunning, managed to avoid fatal damage each time. Thus, not only did it not suffer severe injuries, but it was also able to quickly recover from various wounds.

“Damn it!”

At this moment, the Blue Octopus King had already developed a strong desire to retreat and was considering the feasibility of this idea, “This Land Tiger King really has some strength. I really can’t beat him now!”

“Besides, in this vast ocean, I am not the only overlord!”

It saw Xia Fan continuing to charge, and after dodging, it continued to ponder, “If we continue to fight, and both sides end up severely wounded, I’m afraid other ocean overlords will benefit from our struggle!”

“But even if there are no other ocean overlords eyeing us, I myself am still no match for the Tiger King!”

The Blue Octopus King’s desire to retreat grew stronger and stronger, and it had already found reasons for itself, “If I didn’t have the power of regeneration, the terrifying strength of the Land Tiger King alone would have crushed me into a pulp. I would have been utterly defeated long ago!”

“After all, I have already had several tentacles eaten by the Tiger King. If it weren’t for the replenishment from other sea creatures, I would probably be dead by now!”

“Yes, the only option now is to run!”

Having figured this out, the Blue Octopus King almost immediately began to flee without hesitation.

Behind it, a water mirror suddenly appeared, just like how it had appeared before, but it arrived with prestige and left in disarray.

This time, because it was fleeing, the Blue Octopus King didn't even wait for the water mirror to fully stabilize before plunging into it!

“Why are you running?”

“This King isn’t full yet!”

Xia Fan’s speed did not decrease as he continued to charge towards the water mirror, wondering if he could keep up with the Blue Octopus King. Unfortunately, after the opponent entered, it immediately closed the mirror, which made him secretly regret, “The duck that was almost in my mouth just flew away!”

Just now, simply eating seven or eight of the Blue Octopus King's tentacles provided more energy than devouring several peak Tier 3 creatures.

But soon, Xia Fan’s eyes lit up, “There’s still that turtle!”

He immediately followed the scent to find the giant turtle from before, and then feasted on it, digesting its flesh and blood energy at the fastest speed.

Hum—

With a surge of aura, Xia Fan’s strength had now truly reached the peak of Tier 4.

After taking out the giant turtle’s crystal, he put it away, intending to give it to the Magic Cat.

If the Magic Cat broke through to Tier 4, the help she could provide him would be much better than having a few useless abilities!
