The sky was dark like the abyss of despair. Not a single ray of light could be seen.
On the surface of the sea, the Mermaid Prince surfaced. His blood dyed the water around him red.
His face was pale and he was puking out blood. His breathing was extremely weak.
This caused everyone to be at a loss for words, and only after a short while did the sound of gasping resound.
"He lost! The Mermaid Prince lost to this person! "
"Unbelievable. The mermaids are the rulers of the sea. They do not pale next to the seven royal kinds. On the sea, they have the advantage of terrain and can increase their capabilities. They are insanely powerful! "
"Yeah. Though Xuanyuan Hong is not much, he is still a direct disciple. Yet he could not even defend against 10 moves. This alone proves how powerful the Mermaid Prince is. But now, he is no match for this person. This is unimaginable! "
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, feeling a strong sense of shock.
Ning Yan and the man reacted the same way. At first, they thought Ling Xian would be defeated and were ready to step in to save him.
But who would've thought that he would actually defeat the Mermaid Prince!
Without a doubt, this result was out of everyone's expectations. It was extremely shocking. Not only were the people in the city shocked, but the sea monsters were as well.
They knew very well how powerful the Seventh Prince was. Though he was not the strongest out of all the princes, he was definitely among the top three!
Yet right now, he had lost to a human. This was unbelievable!
Who was the most shocked was without a doubt, Xuanyuan Hong.
Ever since the battle between Ling Xian and the Mermaid Prince began, he had hoped that Ling Xian would lose. It would be best if the Mermaid Prince killed him.
Because he lost to the Mermaid Prince, he naturally didn't want Ling Xian to win.
But now, the truth was right in front of him. Not only was Xuanyuan Hong shocked, he was also beaten black and blue.
At this moment, he felt like he was a joke. A giant joke!
Remembering how he provoked Ling Xian, Xuanyuan Hong felt so ashamed he could not show his face. He felt like he had overestimated himself.
"You have lost."
Staring at the Mermaid Prince, Ling Xian spoke softly, "Now, please retreat."
"You!"
The Mermaid Prince's face was full of anger and humiliation.
As the Seventh Prince of the Mermaid Clan, he was one of the best in terms of strength and status. But now, he was being beaten so badly by Ling Xian. How could the proud him accept this?
Unfortunately, the truth was the truth, and no one could deny it!
"Me what?"
Ling Xian glared at the Mermaid Prince, "If you don't like it, you can attack again. However, I can't guarantee that I will hold back and spare your life. "
The Mermaid Prince shuddered as soon as he finished speaking, and fear filled his eyes.
Though he didn't want to admit it, he knew very well that he was no opponent of Ling Xian's. Even if it happened ten more times, the result would be the same.
"Hmph, I admit that I'm no match for you, but don't forget that I have the entire Sea Tribe behind me." The Mermaid Prince snorted.
"I have to admit that. If they were to charge at me together, I definitely wouldn't be able to stop them."
The corner of his lips curled up and he teased, "But believe it or not, before that happens, I can definitely kill you."
Then, his palm began to emit light like a small sun. He pressed it on top of the Mermaid Prince's head.
Instantly, the Mermaid Prince froze as if he was struck by lightning.
He could feel the terrifying power in that palm. If Ling Xian used a little more strength, his head would explode!
Therefore, why wouldn't he feel fear?
"Don't … don't act rashly. I am the Seventh Prince of the Mermaid Clan. If you kill me, the Sea of Demons will attack the Pavilion of Three Lives!"
The Mermaid Prince revealed his fear and his body began to shake uncontrollably.
"That depends on whether or not you cooperate." Ling Xian grinned. He didn't plan on killing the Mermaid Prince.
For one, the sea monsters were eyeing him like a tiger. If he killed the Mermaid Prince, the sea kind would for sure lose control. For two, he wanted to threaten the Seventh Prince and force him to retreat.
After all, the overall capability of the Sea Kind was far too powerful. The 10 cultivators of the Path Choosing Realm alone were not people the city could defend against.
Therefore, Ling Xian had to fight for time.
"Okay, I will cooperate."
The Mermaid Prince gritted his teeth and suppressed the humiliation he was feeling. He chose to give in.
He had no choice but to give in. For one, he made a bet. For two, his life was in Ling Xian's hands.
"Very well."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. "Now, tell your subordinates to retreat."
Hearing this, the Mermaid Prince appeared hesitant. However, after Ling Xian increased the strength in his hand, his hesitation was replaced by determination.
"All of you, listen up. Now, immediately, go back into the sea!"
At those words, a giant wave of commotion was created and the Sea Kind army was in an uproar.
"Prince, you cannot! This attack was personally ordered by His Majesty. There is no reason for you to retreat! "
"That's right. We cannot go back with humiliation!"
"That's right. If you go back like this, not only you, but all of us will be mocked!"
The beasts all chimed in. None of them wanted to retreat with humiliation.
"It seems like your subordinates are very disobedient. You, the Prince, have no dignity at all." Ling Xian grinned. There was sarcasm and coldness in his smile.
This made the Mermaid Prince's face turn white. There was anger, humiliation, but more than anything, there was fear.
"All of you, shut up!"
Shouting, the Mermaid Prince stared deadly at the sea monster army. His gaze was full of coldness and authority. He also didn't want to retreat with humiliation. Because doing so would leave a stain on his life and the possibility of him ascending to the throne would be even lower.
However, compared to his life, what was humiliation?
Therefore, he glared at the sea monster army and said, "If I say retreat, then retreat. If anyone dares to say another word, they will be punished according to military law!"
At those words, the noisy sea monster army silenced. All living beings shut their mouths and no longer spoke.
At this, the Mermaid Prince shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian and gritted his teeth, "Now, can you let me go?"
"No problem. Tell them to retreat." Ling Xian grinned.
Hearing this, the Mermaid Prince waved his hand helplessly, gesturing for the sea monster army to retreat.
The sea monsters naturally didn't dare to disobey. They all sank into the sea and disappeared.
At once, the dark clouds disappeared and the sky brightened up.
The sea also calmed down and was no longer as turbulent as before.
This caused everyone in the city to reveal joyous expressions. In fact, many people were already shedding tears of joy.
Ling Xian sighed in relief as well.
The corner of his lips curled up and he grinned, "Very good. Since you are obedient, then I will keep my promise."
Then, he let go of the hand on the Mermaid Prince's head, indicating that he could leave.
At this, the Seventh Prince stared at Ling Xian with too many emotions in his eyes. Then, he sank back into the sea and disappeared.
"Phew … that's it for now."
Ling Xian exhaled deeply. Even though he knew that the Sea Kind would for sure come back. But at the very least, he bought himself some time to come up with a plan.
Then, he slowly turned around and planned on entering the city to rest.
After he turned around, he was treated like a hero.
