149: Chapter 149: Trident 149: Chapter 149: Trident Wild Wolf swung his fists like a tank, bulldozing through several obstructing men with no mercy, killing anyone in his way as he ran towards Ye Shikai. The Short-nosed Crocodile’s twin daggers flitted like butterflies, smoothly slicing the throats of anyone who came close. Jeddon, wielding his long saber, hacked away fiercely. Dozens of Netherworld Palace experts behind them engaged with the forces of Sea King Palace, plunging the scene into immediate chaos. Ye Shikai smirked quietly; the balance of the battlefield was finally restored. With the support of the three men, Ye Shikai could devote all his energy to dealing with Poseidon. “Boss, we’ve arrived,” Wild Wolf declared, reaching Ye Shikai’s side first. His eyes met Belos’s; all three, Wild Wolf, Short-nosed Crocodile, and Jeddon, were familiar with this foe, and Wild Wolf quickly became filled with a murderous air, confronting Belos. “Jeddon, Wild Wolf, you two hold off Belos. Short-nosed Crocodile, go support Ailina. Leave Poseidon to me,” Ye Shikai instructed. Ailina had fought Jialong to the point of exhaustion and had sustained injuries. Ye Shikai was somewhat worried for her. The three men exchanged understanding glances; Jeddon and Wild Wolf immediately flanked Belos from left and right. Short-nosed Crocodile threw several Butterfly Knives at Jialong, diverting his attention and halting his attack on Ailina, who seized the chance to rest briefly before joining forces with Short-nosed Crocodile to fight Jialong. “Poseidon, it seems your scheme has failed,” Ye Shikai said directly to Poseidon with a cold laugh. Seeing the Sea King Palace’s men being heavily hit, facing heavy casualties outnumbered by Netherworld Palace’s experts, Poseidon couldn’t hide his frustration, clenching his fists tightly, wishing he could kill Ye Shikai on the spot. “Hades, indeed, I underestimated you; I didn’t expect you would have a contingency plan in Huaxia,” Poseidon admitted. Actually, Netherworld Palace’s expansion in Huaxia wasn’t Ye Shikai’s original intention. He initially wished to return to Huaxia, marry, and live an ordinary life. It was only the intervention of enemies, mysterious figures who kept extending their devil claws towards those close to Ye Shikai, that led him to allow the Netherworld Palace to extend its reach into Huaxia. “Poseidon, instead of staying in South America, you insisted on coming to Huaxia to fight to the death with me. You brought this on yourself,” Ye Shikai stated. “If it’s a battle you want, bring it on.” “Fine, here I come,” Poseidon retorted and rushed at Ye Shikai once more, launching with a Double Sea King Fist. Ye Shikai summoned his Inner Strength, concentrating it in his right fist. As a cultivator proficient in the Emperor Xuan Scripture, having reached the third layer, the Kan Level, Ye Shikai’s combat capabilities were not to be underestimated. He was now ready to go head-to-head with the Sea King Fist. “Boom.” A thunderous noise erupted from the air as the two fists collided, unleashing immense power. In an instant, dust filled the air, and thankfully, since the area was secluded, no bystanders would mistook the spectacle for a movie scene. The clash of fists created an energy shockwave that sent several cultivators nearby flying. Both Ye Shikai and Poseidon, pushed back by the recoil, flew dozens of meters before landing steadily on the ground. A few streaks of blood trickled from the corner of Ye Shikai’s mouth. Although he had reached the Kan Level, Poseidon had given his all in that strike, not to mention the formidable Double Sea King Fist. However, even knowing the difficulty, Ye Shikai had to face it head-on, especially with his subordinates watching. Ye Shikai was acutely aware of the importance of leading Netherworld Palace; knowingly facing the danger, he had to stand at the forefront. In a clash of armies, if the general falters first, the troops’ morale will undoubtedly plummet to rock bottom. “You’re not hurt, are you?” Ailina was the first to recover, immediately rushing to Ye Shikai’s side and reaching out to support his back. “I’m fine.” Ye Shikai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and abruptly stood up. Although he was somewhat injured by that strike, Poseidon must have also paid a heavy price. As the dust settled, Poseidon was seen kneeling on one knee, propping himself up with one hand holding an object. When Ye Shikai recognized the object, his expression immediately turned solemn. The trident, a sacred artifact of the Sea King Palace and also a symbol, was said to wield the divine power of the ocean, capable of smashing all things to dust. Its might was such that no Main God could underestimate it. However, such a weapon was usually kept within the Sea King Palace. Unexpectedly, Poseidon had brought it along, indicating that he was determined to kill Ye Shikai this time. Poseidon, propping himself up with the trident, slowly stood up. The energy from the trident flowed continuously into his body, and his complexion gradually turned ruddy. Several Netherworld Palace experts wanted to take advantage of Poseidon’s weakness to launch a surprise attack, but before they could get close, Poseidon roared and lifted the trident, tracing a circle in front of him. A burst of energy immediately caused those Netherworld Palace experts to suffer severe internal injuries and bleed from the seven orifices. Watching this scene, Ye Shikai’s gaze grew more solemn and his anger surged. These brothers had gone through life and death with Ye Shikai, and it was unthinkable that they had now been sacrificed. Ye Shikai swore to avenge them. “Hades, you didn’t expect that I’d still carry the trident with me,” Poseidon laughed heartily, while Belos also revealed a smile. They were already having a tough time against one Jeddon and a Short-nosed Crocodile, but as long as Poseidon used the trident’s divine power to kill Ye Shikai, these small fries would be of no concern. “Enough with the nonsense, come on and fight if you dare.” Ye Shikai clenched his fists, broke free from Ailina’s arm, and charged directly at Poseidon. Poseidon clearly did not expect Ye Shikai to risk it all, so he set the trident level, blocking in front. Ye Shikai’s fists were charged with eighty percent of his Inner Strength, whereas the trident held divine power. Poseidon was confident that in a head-on collision, Ye Shikai stood no chance against the trident. Just when Ye Shikai was about to land his punch, Poseidon saw the corners of Ye Shikai’s mouth involuntarily curl upwards and couldn’t help but feel puzzled—did Ye Shikai have a backup plan? With a strong sense of crisis, Poseidon dodged, and soon after, he saw a flash of golden light rushing toward his back. Swinging the trident and facing both Ye Shikai’s fist and the incoming golden light, Poseidon was pushed back several steps, relying on the trident to avoid complete defeat. Poseidon’s eyes were firmly fixed on the spot where the golden light landed. As the dust cleared, a man appeared in everyone’s sight. “Lord Netherworld King.” The man gave a slight bow to Ye Shikai, looking very much like a handsome young scholar in his white clothes, quite dashing indeed. However, he was an undeniable killing machine. Nightmare, one of the four great war generals of the Netherworld Palace.
