Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 523 Chen Jie: This is called the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Inside Conch Island, Prince Wuping was drinking and enjoying a dance when a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside.

Bang!
The hall door was pushed open, and a soldier rushed in. He saw Prince Wuping watching the dance and ran over to him, kneeling down before him: "Your Highness, something terrible has happened."

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Wuping glared at him and said, "What terrible thing could have happened? The whole island is enjoying good weather right now, what major event could there be? Don't talk nonsense."

The soldier said, "The Nanyang Allied Forces have sent troops."

Upon hearing this, King Wuping looked at the soldiers and said, "Sending troops? Don't they send troops out every day? What's the big deal!"

Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately said, "No, that's not it. They really have attacked this time. All our coastal patrol guns have been destroyed by them. They have already entered the port. First mate, the first mate has already organized men to resist them!"

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Wuping stood up abruptly, his face filled with shock as he exclaimed, "They...they've broken in?"

The soldier immediately responded, followed by King Wuping saying, "Damn it, we've fallen for their trick."

He stood up abruptly, grabbed a large sword from the weapon rack, and rushed out. He then pointed at the messenger and said, "Go, wake up all those pirates. The battle has begun, and it's time for them to show their skills."

As he spoke, King Wuping waved his hand, and his personal guards followed. Soon after, King Wuping took his large sword and headed straight for the front line.

Meanwhile, at the port of Conch Island, cannon fire roared and shells fell everywhere. The warships anchored in the port were all hit by the shells to varying degrees, and their masts and decks were damaged to different extents.

Flames engulfed the entire port.

By this time, the Nanyang Allied Forces had already reached the port, and they were all yelling and screaming. The first mate was desperately resisting and directing the attack.

However, after these days of exhaustion tactics, these Siamese soldiers were all incredibly tired, with dark circles under their eyes, and their combat effectiveness had dropped several levels.

On the other hand, the Nanyang Allied Forces were full of energy. They had been taking shifts to rest these days, so they were eating and sleeping well, and were in high spirits, able to exert 100% of their fighting power.

Therefore, the Nanyang Allied Forces were at a disadvantage against the Siamese army at this time, and the Siamese army suffered a terrible defeat.

Seeing his people being slaughtered like this, King Wuping roared and charged forward, brandishing his broadsword.

At this moment, several soldiers of the Nanyang Allied Army blocked his way, and were directly cleaved in two by Wu Pingwang with a single stroke.

Following closely behind, King Wu Ping was like a tiger among sheep, wielding his broadsword and leaving a trail of heads wherever he went. For a time, he led the Siamese army to forcefully resist the suppression of the Southeast Asian Allied Army.

At this moment, King Wuping roared, "Geli, go set sail and get all the brothers on board!"

Fighting like this now is too passive. The enemy has ships, which can be used to attack or defend, while he does not have such mobility. Therefore, we must seize the mobility at sea, or we will be trapped and beaten!
King Wuping roared furiously, his broadsword flashing up and down, killing people one after another.

Kill, kill, kill...

The greatsword slashed wildly, and no one could withstand a single blow from it. At this moment, King Wuping was covered in blood, like a demon god emerging from hell.

Upon seeing this, Libona, standing on the boat, roared in anger: "Naxuan, you old thief!"

At this moment, King Wuping also saw that Libona's eyes were wide open as if they were bloodshot, and he roared angrily: "Libona, give me your life!"

Upon hearing this, Libona replied, "Heh heh, do you think I'm afraid of you!"

After saying that, Li Bona drew his broadsword, leaped up, and then unleashed a powerful strike that cleaved Mount Hua, striking Na Xuan fiercely.

Li Bona is known as the One-Eyed Tiger because one of his eyes was blinded by Fang Guozhen. However, being blind does not mean he is weak; on the contrary, his fighting power is exceptionally strong.

It should be noted that the great battle between Fang Guozhen and him was also known as the "Battle of the Divine Dragon Subduing the Tiger"!
Therefore, Libona's fighting strength is not weak.

At this moment, Li Bona was seen holding a long sword with a blade nearly 1.5 meters long, held with both hands. The blade was made of meteorite iron and had fiery red patterns on it. This was the national treasure of Zhenla, the Fire Pattern Sword.

At this moment, Libona, wielding a long sword with fire patterns in both hands, slashed down at King Wuping.

The longsword, now fueled by Li Bona's inner energy, seemed to be ablaze with raging flames, its power astonishing and awe-inspiring.

Seeing how powerful Li Bona's move was, Na Xuan did not retreat but instead moved closer, actually meeting Li Bona's blade head-on. At this moment, the two frantically closed in, and with a loud bang, their broadswords clashed together.

The next moment, there was a loud bang.

Behind Libona, a raging fire erupted, while behind Naxuan, a chilling ice descended. One was of fire attribute, and the other of ice attribute; their battle was truly a clash of heaven and earth, a ninefold storm of ice and fire.

Ah ~
As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. When two powerful beings at the Fusion God Realm clashed, the soldiers around them screamed in agony as they were swept away by the aftershocks of their battle.

They fell into the water with a splash, and some were even killed by the aftershocks of their battle!

The two men showed no change in expression as they watched their men die tragically. Their understanding of their subordinates was that, apart from a very few key men, the rest were cannon fodder, and they didn't care about the life or death of cannon fodder.

The two exchanged blows, and the immense recoil sent them flying. They stared at each other, each having gained a clear understanding of the other's strength during their previous clash.

Although the two of them often argued, they had never actually fought. But when they did fight, their strength surprised each other. They realized that this guy was really strong.

At that moment, the two of them were thinking the same thing.

At this moment, the two men, each holding a weapon, stared at each other without making a move, searching for each other's weaknesses.

The sea breeze carried the heavy smell of gunpowder, and the entire harbor was filled with the odor of black powder and burning wood.

Blood stained the harbor, turning the seawater red. Corpses floated on the water, revealing the cruelty of war.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a tall building on Conch Island, Chen Jie sat watching the battle below. He was in no hurry to intervene. Firstly, this was a war between different races, which had little to do with him, and he did not want to forcibly interfere with cause and effect. Secondly, the attrition of these alien races would be of great help to Huangzhou Prefecture's future plans to expand into the sea.

After all, there are too many foreign tribes, so it will be quite troublesome for his Huangzhou Prefecture navy to roam freely in this sea area.

Secondly, Li Bona is no pushover either. If Chen Jie had appeared earlier, Li Bona would probably have put himself in the front to face the wrath of King Wuping.

Now Chen Jie can completely detach himself from the situation and view the battle as an outsider. He can intervene and withdraw at any time, maximizing his flexibility and mobility, and avoiding being outmaneuvered.

Therefore, Chen Jie chose the best spot to sit and watch the people below fight to the death.

Just then, a man climbed up to the roof and came to Chen Jie's side: "Boss, it's done."

Chen Jie nodded, then looked in another direction on the island, the direction where the pirates were drinking and making merry. He then saw that the pirates had no heart for drinking and merrymaking anymore, and were heading straight for the beach, where their ships were moored. They didn't want to be buried with the Siamese army.

This group of pirates is always like this: when things are going well, they fight very aggressively. But now it's clearly a losing situation, and they have no intention of going down with the Siamese army. So they head straight for their own ships and start to flee.

However, their temporary actions did not affect the overall battle situation.

Chen Jie looked at the center of the battlefield and saw that Li Bona and King Wuping had already begun their duel.

At this moment, Li Bona took the initiative. He stepped on the ground and in the next moment, his whole figure rushed towards King Wuping like a ghost. The fire-patterned longsword in his hand instantly burst into flames.

At this moment, under the infusion of qi, the fire patterns on the blade flickered with an eerie light, as if they were alive and leaping, just like dancing flames.

"Flame Slash!"

Li Bona made his move, his longsword flashing like a meteor. A massive fiery blade aura, carrying scorching heat, tore through the air and slashed towards King Wuping's head. Wherever the flames passed, the ground was instantly scorched, and plumes of white smoke rose up.

At this moment, King Wuping's expression turned solemn. He suddenly gripped the large Guan Dao in his hands and shouted, "Break the Ice!"

The next moment, a chilling aura emanated from the Great Guan Dao, and a huge ice blade burst forth from the blade, colliding violently with the fiery sword energy.

In an instant, ice and fire merged, a huge explosion rang out, and a powerful shockwave spread in all directions, blowing sailboats in the surrounding harbor away a distance. The seawater was shaken and began to fluctuate wildly, all of which showed that this attack was extraordinary.

This attack brought the score to a draw once again.

Libona was unwilling to accept this, so he quickly adjusted his body. Then, strange flames began to seep out from his body, and the space in front of him began to distort slightly, creating a sense of dislocation!

"Hmm, the ability to influence space?"

Chen Jie frowned, but he quickly dismissed the idea, saying, "No, it's an illusion, an illusion caused by the high temperature of the flames."

It's like lighting a campfire and staring at the center of the flames. You'll find that the flickering of the flames gives you a sense of spatial distortion, but that's just an illusion, not a real spatial distortion.

Having figured this out, Chen Jie nodded. He had actually learned some ways to use fire from Li Bona. You should know that Chen Jie was also a master of fire; his Xia Shen Nu and Zhu Rong Zhen Ti were both powered by fire.

Thinking this, Li Bona suddenly moved, brandishing his long sword and attacking Wu Pingwang. Unexpectedly, this slash gave people a feeling of time and space being out of balance.

King Wuping suddenly felt a barrage of sword shadows in front of him, and in some places even spacetime, as if the entire sword was broken and could attack from all directions.

"Ten Thousand Flames Burn the Heavens!"

With a single sound, countless tiny flames shot out from the longsword, like a rain of fire filling the sky. Each drop of fire carried a strong blade aura, directly enveloping King Wuping within them.

The interplay of spatial distortion creates a sense of disillusionment.

This knife is very powerful.

Chen Jie gave his evaluation directly. However, King Wuping was no ordinary person. At this moment, he closed his eyes and used his spiritual perception to sense his surroundings. Sometimes the eyes can be deceived, but the spiritual perception will not lie.

The ability of a Spiritual Absolute is to accurately perceive what poses the greatest threat to oneself; this is the function of a Spiritual Absolute.

At this moment, King Wuping closed his eyes, and the illusion technique used by Li Bona became less effective. King Wuping then gripped the greatsword in one hand, and his entire body's energy condensed. The next moment, frost began to slowly condense on the blade of the greatsword he was holding, and the entire greatsword began to emit a deep, cold aura.

At this moment, King Wuping roared, "Break!"

The next moment, an incredibly powerful chill appeared on the broadsword, which then slammed into the attacking Libona.

clack clack...

At this moment, ice began to condense beneath the feet of King Wuping, and this chill gathered on his great halberd. When he swung the halberd, everyone around felt the temperature of the air drop by more than ten degrees.

At the same time, the ice on the broadsword began to come into contact with the flames on the Libona sword, producing a sizzling sound and a large amount of water vapor rising up, directly enveloping the battlefield in thick fog.

Libona's slash was also neutralized by King Wuping, and at the same time, King Wuping's powerful icy energy flew out and landed on the seawater with a crackling sound...

A thin layer of ice immediately began to form on the seawater.

At this moment, King Wuping raised his broadsword and slashed at Li Bona with unparalleled force. Li Bona dodged the blow.

click!
The broadsword slammed into the ground, cleaving a gash in the earth.

At this moment, Libona slipped into the mist and silently approached King Wuping.

The next moment, he appeared behind King Wuping, and the long sword in his hand, carrying an unparalleled and fierce aura, suddenly stabbed towards King Wuping's back.

At this moment, it was as if King Wuping had eyes in the back of his head, and he immediately sensed the attack from Li Bona behind him.

At that moment, he turned and swung his sword, the broadsword carrying the power to split mountains and shatter rocks, sweeping across the battlefield. Li Bona quickly parried with his own sword, and with a loud bang, the broadsword and the longsword collided, and the two were suddenly separated.

stomping on...

Both of them were knocked back a few steps, and then they looked at each other.

King Wuping said, "Libona, I didn't expect your Sea Flame Technique to be so effective."

Upon hearing this, Libona said, "Hmph, that's still not as good as your Winter Divine Skill."

King Wuping said, "Hehe, since you know you are inferior, why not surrender? If you are willing to surrender, I can grant you a royal title, which is second only to me among the many royal titles in my Siam. Is that alright?"

"Below you? Hmph, on what grounds!"

Libona was very dissatisfied. In his own country, he was the national advisor whom even the king had to give face to. He was the god of Zhenla. But here in your country, I am to become a king under you? Why?

I refuse to live under someone else's roof! Look at your old face, Prince Wuping!

Prince Wuping frowned slightly at Li Bona's appearance and said, "Don't push your luck!"

Upon hearing this, Libona retorted, "So what if you're being ungrateful? Look closely, I'm in the lead now, how dare you talk to me like that!"

As Li Bona said this, his face turned cold, and then he suddenly began to gather his innate qi.

Seeing Li Bona's expression, Chen Jie said, "Hehe, they're finally getting serious, they're finally getting serious."

Upon hearing this, Garuno asked, "Boss, who's stronger between the two of them?"

Chen explained, "At their level, a true victory or defeat cannot be determined without a real fight!"

Upon hearing this, Garuno looked at Chen Jie and asked, "Then, boss, who's stronger between you and them?"

Chen Jie looked at Garuno after hearing this, and then smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Garuno paused for a moment, then quickly replied, "Of course it's the boss, hehe..."

Chen Jie did not answer him, but his eyes turned to the harbor. He was not very concerned about Li Bona's so-called Haiyan Gong, but he was very interested in Wu Ping Wang Na Xuan's Dong Shen Gong.

At this moment, Chen Jie looked in the direction of King Wuping and saw that Li Bona was gathering innate qi and preparing to summon a martial arts phantom to help in the battle.

King Wuping Na Xuan also began to gather his innate qi. He clenched his hands tightly, and then the icy qi on his body began to gather.

Even from a great distance, Chen Jie could sense the icy aura gathered by King Wuping, which was the very aura of the Winter God Technique that Chen Jie had been desperately seeking. In fact, the aura of the Winter God Technique within his own body was stirring restlessly.

Sensing everything, Chen Jie looked at Prince Wuping.

Sure enough, the next moment, Libona and King Wuping began to release their martial arts illusions.

The martial arts illusion released by Libona was a giant fire bull. The bull's muscles were bulging, and its two towering horns gave off a chilling feeling. Purple flames burned on the bull's body.

This is the legendary divine ox of the Zhenla Kingdom, the Purple Flame Divine Ox, which, according to legend, is the embodiment of fire in the mythology of the Zhenla Kingdom.

At this moment, the divine ox appeared and made a sound towards King Wuping: "Moo moo~"
As the cow roared, purple flames spewed from its nostrils, looking incredibly terrifying.

Meanwhile, on the other side, King Wuping roared, "The God of Winter has descended!"

The next moment, a majestic goddess phantom materialized behind him. The goddess had an icy expression and exuded a terrifying chill.

If it wasn't the legendary Winter Goddess Xuanming, then what was it? Chen Jie felt the power emanating from the Winter Goddess and couldn't help but grasp her hand.

Hehe, it's this power, it's this power! This trip to Southeast Asia was definitely worthwhile. The Winter God Technique is on King Wuping.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie became somewhat excited, but he suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

If he were to go down and cooperate with Libona of Zhenla Kingdom from the inside, he could kill King Wuping. However, if he killed King Wuping, Chen Jie would not be able to safely absorb King Wuping's Dao Fruit.

After all, the ability to condense Dao Fruits is an extremely abnormal and terrifying ability. Currently, only the Living Buddha Phagpa is known to have this ability, and Chen Jie does not want to reveal this ability too early.

Therefore, Chen Jie doesn't want to expose himself yet, so he can't make a move right now.

Moreover, Chen Jie had his own plans. He was only at the first level of the Fusion God realm, so he couldn't defeat the Siamese National Preceptor. If he wanted to ask his third brother, Fang Guozhen, the National Preceptor was definitely an obstacle he couldn't avoid.

Moreover, this imperial advisor is immortal. Chen Jie could kill him instantly with his divine blood, but he can resurrect infinitely, which makes Chen Jie hesitant to act rashly.

Therefore, Chen Jie did not dare to directly attack the Imperial Preceptor.

The side effects of this divine blood are no joke, so Chen Jie must be able to consistently win against the Imperial Preceptor in order to continue implementing the plan. Consistently winning may be difficult, but at the very least, he must not lose to him.

To avoid losing to him, the prerequisite is that Chen Jie's strength must also reach the second level of the Fusion God.

Only a second-tier Molten God can fight the Grand Master to a standstill, thus creating room for specific strategies!
For Chen Jie to reach the second stage of the Fusion God realm, he needs the support of a Dao Fruit, and a Dao Fruit...

Chen Jie thought for a moment. He had a Dao Fruit bestowed upon him by his father-in-law, the Prince of Ruyang. If he wanted to advance from the first stage to the second stage, he would need another Dao Fruit. So where could he get this Dao Fruit?
Chen Jie looked at Prince Wuping.

That's right, the only way to get it is from Prince Wuping.

This is why Chen Jie devised this plan to hunt down King Wuping.

Especially since King Wuping possesses the complete Winter God Technique, Chen Jie cannot afford to let it go!
Chen Jie's plan was to first kill King Wuping, seize his Dao Fruit and cultivation techniques, then strengthen himself, and finally deal with the Imperial Preceptor.

Of course, another difficulty in dealing with the Grand Preceptor is to solve his immortality, but Chen Jie has not yet found an effective way to do so.

Of course, we can think of a solution gradually, but King Wuping wants to kill him first.

At this moment, Chen Jie glanced around and saw that the first mate of Siam had seized a warship. Chen Jie's eyes flashed, and he immediately said to Garuno, "Tell Dingbian that I will meet up with him in a while."

After saying that, Chen Jie vanished in a flash. Garuno immediately wanted to call out to Chen Jie, but found that he had already disappeared. Helpless, he could only look downstairs and say, "Why did you climb so high for no reason?"

As he spoke, he slowly moved his body and walked down.

Meanwhile, at the port, both Wu Pingwang and Li Bona released their martial arts illusions and began to frantically gather their auras. When their auras reached their peak, they roared, "Die!"

The next moment, they unleashed their strongest attacks, preparing to decide the outcome in one move.

Then the two suddenly charged at each other, followed by the two martial arts phantoms attacking each other simultaneously, followed by a loud bang.

puff~
Both of them coughed up blood and retreated violently.

Both were seriously injured in one move. At this moment, they both remembered, but they were unable to increase their strength for a while.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the Siamese soldiers had already suffered a crushing defeat. Seeing that the situation was likely to continue, King Wuping might remain there. Suddenly, they saw a ship moving towards them, which was the warship controlled by King Wuping's first mate.

Just then, the first mate shouted, "Your Highness, get on the ship quickly!"
