Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 233 Just you?
"Humph!"

Seeing Minghai catch up, Qingtonghou snorted coldly.

After discovering that this human realm lord was actually a disguised peak human marquis, he had already begun to consider resigning.

The peak-level Marquis Immortal possesses a thousand times the power of a peak Realm Lord, more than three times that of myself. His secret techniques are also definitely superior to mine. Even with the peak-level Military Lord-level Thousand Vine, he can only protect himself.

If this human immortal were to burn his divine power, he would still be in danger of perishing, so there would be no need to continue the fight.

But I am not afraid.

After all, although he was only a low-level Marquis Immortal, he still possessed an immortal body, and a peak Marquis Immortal would not be able to kill him.

Moreover, with the help of a thousand vines, he has even less to fear.

"Thousand Kills! Burn your divine power and swiftly kill the rest!"

Holding a jade spear that radiated a sharp edge in its two claws, Qing Tong Hou, while defending against Ming Hai's attacks, commanded Qian Zhu Teng through their soul connection.

Although he couldn't defeat this human peak-level Marquis Immortal, with his own restraint and the Thousand Vine's power surging after burning divine power, he was enough to kill the human elite squad members, including Walton.

Ordinary immortal beings dare not easily burn divine power, but auxiliary plant life is different. They have huge bodies, so burning divine power is a small burden, and they recover faster after battle than ordinary life.

Having had my identity exposed, I definitely can't stay in the Shallow Water Starfield anymore, but I have to make some gains before I leave.

"Yes, Master!"

The voice of a thousand vines came through the soul connection.

'boom'

The next moment, thousands of cyan vines, tens of thousands of kilometers long, which stretched across the void, were engulfed in golden flames, their power surging.

Brush brush!
Surrounded by golden flames, the power of the long vine surged, instantly piercing through the bodies of the already struggling Blue-Haired Flying Blade, Green-Haired Azure Feather, Dream, and Green Soul. Their life force was absorbed by the vine, their blood staining the starry sky as they perished on the spot.

Walton and Jiang He were also overwhelmed and unable to resist the hundreds of vines burning with raging golden flames.

'boom'

Forced into a corner, the two had no choice but to burn their divine power and fight against the omnipresent golden flame vines.

Brush brush!
Minghai, wielding the Obsidian Sword, moved with lightning speed, unleashing 10 times the power of a peak Realm Lord, and launched a fierce attack on Qing Tonghou.

He sensed the deaths of Fei Ren and the others, but there was nothing he could do; they were too far away to save them. He could only try his best to attack Qing Tong Hou in order to save Walton and Jiang He.

Of course, abandoning Qing Tong Hou and going directly to rescue people is also an option.

But this is not the style of the Underworld.

There are many ways to save lives.

As long as it poses a fatal threat to Qing Tong Hou, it will definitely recall the Thousand Vine Trees, which is also an effective way to save people.

The full-scale attack from the Underworld Sea indeed put immense pressure on Marquis Qingtong.

Although there was a significant gap in the level of secret techniques, the power of a peak world lord, 10 times greater, completely made up for it. The terrifying power permeated the Azure-Eyed Marquis's azure battle armor, shaking his divine body.

'Peng'

In the midst of the fierce battle, Qing Tong Hou finally could not withstand it any longer. With a "bang," his massive body transformed into billions of tiny particles invisible to the naked eye.

But the next moment, Qing Tong Hou reassembled his body not far away, his green eyes looking in horror at Ming Hai, whose blood-red hair was flowing and who was charging towards him with a sword.

"Qian Sha, forget about those two humans, come back!"

After reassembling his body, Qing Tong Hou, finding his divine power significantly weakened, immediately commanded Qian Zhu Teng through their soul connection.

His immortality, granted by the title of Marquis, prevented him from suffering any real harm, but the blow still caused him to lose a significant amount of energy from his divine cells.

If the opponent were to unleash their divine power at this moment, it would truly threaten his life.

At this point, the other two human immortals are no longer of any importance; preserving one's own life is the most important thing.

With a whoosh, the thousand vines that were killing Walton and Jiang He tens of thousands of kilometers away immediately abandoned their attack and returned. At the same time, they extended a vine to wrap around the body of the Azure-Eyed Marquis, transforming it into plant armor that was even tougher than the azure battle armor.

A thousand vines, stretching for 100,000 kilometers, with thousands of golden flames billowing through the air, danced wildly, like an ancient guardian deity, towering majestically behind the Azure-Eyed Marquis.

Minghai stopped his pursuit, glanced at the enormous, towering plant 'Thousand Vine', narrowed his eyes, and felt a surge of fighting spirit.

"A peak-level Marquis-ranking expert actually impersonating a Realm Lord! Human, you are truly despicable!"

The return of the Thousand Vine gave Qing Tong Hou, who had been in a panic after being attacked by Ming Hai, a sense of relief. He glared at Ming Hai with his green eyes and spoke in the universal language.

"A noble immortal with the title of Marquis and the possession of a thousand life-supporting vines at the peak of the military lord level, yet you pretend to be an ordinary immortal! Demon race, you are truly despicable!"

Minghai naturally wouldn't explain that he was really just a realm lord, but simply replied with the same words.

'Swoosh'

Walton and Jiang He, who had escaped the calamity, flew over in unison and stood side by side with Ming Hai, their eyes filled with fear as they stared at Qing Tong Hou opposite them and the terrifying Thousand Vine behind him.

"Cold-blooded! Flying Blade, Azure Feather, Dream, and Green Soul are all dead!"

Walton, his face filled with grief and indignation, transmitted his voice to Minghai.

"I know!"

Minghai replied calmly, then transmitted his voice to the two of them:

"Captain, Vice-Captain, this monster is a Marquis-level Immortal, and the Thousand Vine's combat power is no less than that of a Marquis-level expert. You should retreat!"

Upon hearing this, Walton and Jiang He exchanged a glance, both showing a helpless expression.

"Cold-blooded, we have limited strength and cannot help you. You must be careful!"

Walton replied telepathically to Minghai, and then flew away with Jiang He into the distance.

The peak military lord immortality seems to be only one step away from the marquis immortality, but in reality, their combat power is worlds apart, and they are no match for each other.

If only Qing Tonghou was granted the title of Immortal, the two of them could still help each other in the battle.

But the Thousand Vine Trees at the peak of the military lord level are too terrifying.

Especially the Thousand Vines, whose combat power surges when they burn with divine power; each of the more than a thousand vines can be regarded as a Marquis-level expert.

Surrounded by over a thousand powerful marquises, even a marquis-level immortal would be in danger of perishing, let alone a military lord immortal!

They couldn't get involved in this battle.

"Humanity!"

A green battle armor, conjured from a thousand vines, replaced the original cyan battle armor, the 'Azure Winged Flying Armor.' The Azure-Eyed Marquis, his veil of precious pearls concealing his immortal aura, glanced arrogantly at the departing Walton and Jiang He, and said:
"I'll spare your life today, but I'll kill you next time we meet!"
At the same time, it thought to itself, 'Once Qian Sha successfully advances to the rank of Marquis, I must kill this despicable human.'

With its enormous size, the Thousand Vine can burn its divine power almost continuously during battle. Even if it is only a peak military officer, its combat power is comparable to that of a peak marquis immortal.

Once promoted to Marquis, and then burning divine power, they will have the combat strength of a King. Combined with the Azure-Eyed Marquis, they will indeed be able to surround and kill a Marquis-level expert.

Of course, Qing Tonghou was only thinking about it; he would never actually do it.

Peak Marquis-level experts possess immense strength and tenacious vitality. To kill a peak Marquis-level expert, one would need at least a high-level King-level Immortal or a low-level King-level Immortal who has burned divine power.

While the Thousand Vines at the Marquis level might have a chance to kill a peak Marquis-level expert, it would come at a huge cost, making it a losing proposition.

Spare my life?

A cold smile appeared on Minghai's face as he said calmly:

"But I have no intention of sparing you. I will kill you now to avenge my comrades!"

"kill me?"

Marquis Qingtong was taken aback, a wary glint flashing in his eyes. He stared at Minghai for a long while before slowly saying:
"Human? You think you're some kind of immortal king?"
