Chapter 2323 - 2326: Qingxuan's Fury Shatters Rocks and Splits Waves

Thud!

The Sea Emperor's scepter struck the damaged temple floor. He looked coldly at Shen Qiang, scrutinizing him from head to toe and back again, before his gaze landed on the exquisite Qingxuan and Mermaid Princess, Jinli Qian Ning, beside Shen Qiang.

"You are not the Dragon Emperor."

The Sea Emperor looked at Shen Qiang seriously and said solemnly, "Nor are you the descendant of the Sea Emperor, because he knows very well that Athena is the enemy of all Divine Race descendants. She is a madwoman who believes that by killing all the gods, the world will achieve eternal peace, and humans will no longer fight."

Upon hearing these words, the elite Sea Demons around Shen Qiang had an uneasy feeling in their hearts.

Their gazes on Shen Qiang were inevitably peculiar.

Because they had lost count of how many times they had heard similar words. Whether it was the Sea Emperor or Athena—two rival factions—both of these unrivaled leaders said the same thing, there must be truth in it.

They were puzzled, yet no Sea Demon dared to question right now.

For questioning Shen Qiang's identity in this situation most likely would lead to being eliminated by him.

Moreover, even if Shen Qiang didn't do so, once their will faltered, they would never be able to leave here.

After all, they were the elite among elites, none of them were fools.

"So the Dragon Emperor or his descendant would definitely not attempt to control Athena?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow calmly. Compared to others, Shen Qiang knew better that without this Dragon Emperor's title, he simply couldn't make things work in the seas.

You must know, any intelligent creature aspiring to be their leader must be the smartest and strongest among them.

Without the title of Dragon Emperor, even if Shen Qiang had the ability, how long would it take to make those of the Sea Clan sincerely acknowledge Shen Qiang's status as King?

And if they chose to flee, this boundless ocean would make it impossible to conquer them even through battle.

So despite the sophistry, Shen Qiang could never admit he was not the Dragon Emperor.

Upon hearing Shen Qiang's retort, the Sea Emperor laughed, "The Dragon Emperor wouldn't be foolish to come here and cause a ruckus just to control a madwoman, because he knows this means we would go to war."

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow calmly and smiled as he wrapped his arm around Qingxuan, saying, "She is mine now."

Seeing Qingxuan shyly snuggled in Shen Qiang's arms, the many Great Sea Demons present instantly erupted into chaos.

"I wish I could cut him down, release our Athena!"

"Our noble and pure Athena has fallen."

"Utterly shameless!"

The numerous Atlantic City Sea Demons glared at Shen Qiang with fury.

If looks could kill, Shen Qiang would likely be dismembered in an instant.

"You are not the Dragon Emperor, nor his descendant," the Sea Emperor said calmly. "I don't know what spell you used to corrupt Athena, but since she is my enemy, she must be here in front of me to ease my mind."

"What if I insist on taking her?" Shen Qiang asked, raising an eyebrow.

Upon hearing this, the Sea Emperor laughed, "In fact, you definitely won't be leaving; I will bury you here. The reason I haven't acted until now is only because I saw Princess Qian Ning."

After speaking, the Sea Emperor ignored Yu Jiang and focused his gaze on Qian Ning.

"Beautiful Princess Qian Ning, you should know that Butes has always been in love with you. You possess beauty, powerful abilities, and you could be considered a perfect genetic specimen. If you change your mind now and leave this little Dragon Demon, I can guarantee you safety and a life free from want."

Upon hearing this, Qian Ning directly clung to Shen Qiang's arm and said firmly, "No need to say more. I've never liked Butes, otherwise perhaps I would've been with him long ago."

"What about me?" the Sea Emperor raised an eyebrow, "How about becoming my woman?"

"Shameless!" Qian Ning snapped instantly.

The Sea Emperor looked at Qian Ning with a calm gaze and said, "A princess like you, feeling high and mighty, just hasn't endured storms yet. Believe me, in endless hunger and whipping, you will kneel at my feet begging for me, pleading for me to be your man just for a crumb of bread."

"Shut up." Shen Qiang interjected, raising an eyebrow.

At this moment, the Sea Emperor also ignored Shen Qiang, instead looking at Qingxuan in Shen Qiang's arms, saying, "Athena, I don't know what madness has overtaken you; you've fallen. Being the goddess of light, purity, and war, being the wisdom goddess, you are leaning on a little Dragon Demon."

"This is unbearable!"

The Sea Emperor raised an eyebrow, "Because even if you are to fall, you can only submit beneath me. You are wise, you should understand this is your only chance of survival, because even at your peak, you have no way to escape from here."

Upon hearing these words, Qingxuan's gaze turned icy and frigid, "Shameless fellow, just for saying this, I should shred you to pieces and feed you to the dogs."

The Sea Emperor smiled slightly and said, "You have refused, which means you, like Qian Ning, have lost the eligibility to be my cherished guest. But similarly, when hunger and pain come, you will kneel at my feet begging me."

Qingxuan's beautiful eyes turned icy cold.

And at this moment, the previously silent Shen Qiang suddenly spoke, "I don't actually enjoy slaughter, but if you truly believe you can control everything and freely insult my woman, then you will pay an unimaginable price."

"Is that so?" the Sea Emperor smiled, "You may die now, take action, kill him for me!"

With his words, the numerous Atlantic City Sea Demons that had surrounded them immediately launched an attack.

Boom!

Amidst the powerful clash of True Yuan, the Great Sea Demon King Yujiang, Gui Shu, and those twenty-seven elite among elite Sea Demons began to engage the Atlantic City Sea Demons.

"I think there's no need to hold back anymore."

Shen Qiang said.

Qingxuan snuggled in Shen Qiang's arms heard this and her beautiful eyes turned cold, saying, "Qingxuan understands."

Saying this, Qingxuan suddenly stepped forward.

The powerful aura inherited from War Goddess Athena soared into the sky, brazenly displaying its sanctity, pride, and disdain.

Watching Qingxuan glare at himself and clearly feeling the danger, the Sea Emperor instinctively stepped back, then cast his gaze at Shen Qiang moving slowly with the Sea Demons, revealing a condescending sneer.

"When the Dragon Emperor was here, he didn't even need to act; his subordinates were enough to make me flee. But you are not him; your handful of lousy fish and shrimp can't harm me in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled calmly.

Simultaneously, Qingxuan, with her tall and slender figure, turned her beautiful eyes cold, and True Yuan, like a shockwave, exploded instantly.

Boom!

The seafloor within hundreds of meters of her radiated point had already crumbled, waves surged violently.

"Bend like a bowstring startlingly, thousands of feet tall!" She murmured.

In an instant, countless stone spikes, like arrows of death from King Yan, erupted from the collapsing seafloor!
