The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Lu Xingchen opened his eyes with some confusion.

next moment.

His pupils contracted sharply, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

All he saw was that invisible giant hand that should have smashed him into a pulp.

It was hovering three inches above his head at that moment.

It was as if some irresistible force had frozen it in place.

And in front of him.

Suddenly, another figure appeared.

He was a middle-aged man wearing a gray linen long gown.

His figure wasn't particularly tall; in fact, he appeared somewhat thin.

But he stood there like an insurmountable barrier, blocking all the wind and rain, and all the murderous intent.

He simply held up one finger.

He gently blocked the terrifying giant hand that descended from the sky.

It was like holding back a falling feather.

"Who gave you the guts...?"

The man spoke slowly.

"Dare to touch my soldiers?"

boom--!!!

As the words fell.

That giant hand, formed by the full power of a ninth-tier peak marshal, contained the rules of the abyss.

In front of this one finger.

It shattered instantly!

They transformed into countless specks of light and vanished without a trace.

Nakda's massive body shuddered violently, as if it had suffered a huge backlash. He spat out a mouthful of black blood and flew backward for thousands of meters.

It stared wide-eyed at the man who had suddenly appeared.

"You...who are you?!"

The man ignored Nakda.

He slowly turned around and looked at Lu Xingchen behind him, who was covered in blood and swaying precariously.

A look of disappointment and frustration appeared on that resolute face.

Yet, her expression also carried a hint of heartache.

"Young Master Lu."

Ye Nantian stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes looking down at him with disdain: "You managed to turn a few lousy fish into this mess?"

"It seems that in the years I've been gone, you've all become more and more useless."

Lu Xingchen stared blankly at the face he had only seen in the top-secret files of the military and the Azure Dragon Legion.

His body began to tremble violently, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes.

That iron-blooded legion commander who sheds blood but not tears in front of millions.

At this moment, however, he seemed like a wronged child seeing his parent, sobbing uncontrollably: "Master Ye... Ancestor Ye..."

"Stop crying, you're making me look bad."

Ye Nantian curled his lip in disdain, then casually waved his hand.

A gentle yet powerful life essence surged into Lu Xingchen's body, forcefully stabilizing his shattered origin.

"Just watch from the sidelines."

Ye Nantian turned around and faced the vast army of the Forbidden Water Clan, which resembled gods and demons.

He twisted his neck, making a series of crackling sounds.

His linen robe fluttered without wind, and a terrifying killing intent that had been suppressed for four hundred years erupted completely at this moment: "Today, the ancestor will teach you a lesson."

"What does 'killing fish' mean?"

"Killing fish?"

Upon hearing those two words, Nakda's scaly face froze instantly.

It is the infamous Water-Forbidden Marshal of the Abyss Plane!

He is a top-tier expert at the peak of the ninth rank!

Even in the Abyss Royal Court, where powerful beings abound, it is a top-tier existence. Yet, in the mouth of this old human man, it has become a fish waiting to be slaughtered?

"Arrogant!"

Nakda laughed in fury, and the aura on his body, which had been somewhat disordered due to the backlash, surged instantly.

Although that finger strike was indeed terrifying.

But the decaying, deathly aura emanating from the old man was undeniable.

Why is this old codger, who burns his life for a brief burst of power, so arrogant?

"Human, you are at your last gasp! I'll see how you kill me!"

Nakda roared and swung his weapon violently.

"The Abyss: The Burial of All Streams!"

Rumble—!

The entire surface of the East China Sea exploded instantly.

Countless jets of black water shot into the sky, each containing a potent abyssal poison capable of corroding the very fabric of space.

These water columns intertwined and converged in the air, eventually transforming into a black abyss dragon that stretched for ten thousand meters, opening its massive jaws and swallowing Ye Nantian whole!

Nakda showed no mercy in this attack.

It will use the strongest means.

It directly shattered the old man's last breath!

however.

Faced with such an offensive that could easily destroy a city, Ye Nantian remained unmoved.

He put one hand behind his back and raised the other hand slightly, waving it casually in front of him as if shooing away a fly.

"Noise."

Om-!

Suddenly, a clear sword cry rang out between heaven and earth.

No.

That wasn't the sound of a sword.

That was the mournful cry of air being instantly compressed and cut by extreme force!

Ye Nantian's casually waved hand drew an extremely flat arc in the air.

next second.

Pfft—!

That menacing abyssal black dragon, powerful enough to devour an entire city, was as if it had been cleaved in two by an invisible giant blade!

There was no explosion sound, nor any energy fluctuation.

The black dragon was still roaring, but its body had been neatly split in two.

Immediately afterwards, it shattered into a shower of water.

"What?!"

Nakda's eyes narrowed sharply.

The strongest attack was broken by the old man with a casual wave of his hand?

This is the power of a demigod!

Even a demigod whose life is about to end still possesses terrifying strength!

Back off!

We must retreat!

Without the slightest hesitation, Nakda turned around and prepared to leave.

"Trying to run away?"

Ye Nantian looked at Nakda's disheveled figure and sneered, "I just said that today I'm going to teach these little brats how to kill fish."

"If this is a teaching session, and the fish gets away, where will I put my face?"

Before he could finish speaking...

Ye Nantian gently grasped at the void with his withered hand.

"Certainly."

There is only one word.

But the moment that word was uttered, the space within a radius of a hundred miles seemed to be filled with billions of tons of cement, completely solidifying!

Not only the air, but also light, sound, and even the flow of time became incredibly viscous at this moment.

Nakda, who was about to leave, suddenly froze.

It discovered that it couldn't move!

His own Saintly Domain completely failed at this moment!

The surrounding space was like an indestructible cage, locking it firmly in place.

"This...this is rule suppression?!"

Nakda was terrified and desperately tried to activate the power of the primordial saint within his body.

Trying to break free from this constraint.

But no matter how much it struggled, that invisible force remained unmoved, like a mountain.

"The first step in killing a fish."

Ye Nantian's voice rang out softly, carrying a chilling calmness: "Remove the scales."

Snapped!

Ye Nantian snapped his fingers.

"ah--!!!"

A bloodcurdling scream, sharp and piercing, instantly echoed throughout the entire battlefield.

Nakda, who was suspended in mid-air, had incredibly hard black scales on his body that even legendary weapons could not penetrate.

It was as if it was being pulled by some terrifying force, and one piece after another fell off on its own!
