Chapter 2408 - 2411: Sea Emperor's Schemes

Just as Shen Qiang stepped into the training ground under the expectant gaze of the beautiful eyes of Mermaid Princess Jinli Qianning, miles away on the sea, on a luxurious cruise, the Sea Emperor dressed as a wealthy businessman was sitting in a chair, his face like water, watching the two cultivators standing on the deck.

"To kill Shen Qiang, for other bounty hunters, it's definitely impossible, but we're different. If I make a move, Shen Qiang is dead for sure," said a man who looked about thirty years old with a face full of arrogance.

Upon hearing this, the Sea Emperor sitting in the chair didn't speak, but instead, the sidekick beside him laughed lightly, "I've seen many boastful cultivators, but very few truly capable ones. If you want to take the deposit, it's no problem. Just show your strength and the money will be yours instantly."

In an instant, the thirty-something man smiled, shook his wrist, and then a massive Cow Horn Bow appeared in his hand.

With a step back, the bow expanded gradually, unleashing a terrifying aura that brazenly flaunted the murderous intent. As if penetrating everything, this aura not only dispersed countless clouds but also instantly froze the howling sea wind.

"Very strong!"

The Sea Emperor, who seemed to be resting his eyes, opened them.

"Watch closely, just one arrow is enough to kill Shen Qiang!"

With the man's deep roar.

Buzz!

Amidst the intense fluctuations of True Yuan, as the bowstring vibrated, a piercing sound explosion echoed instantly, shattering the wine glass in the Sea Emperor's hand.

But that wasn't all.

Most terrifyingly, a small island in the distance, seemingly a black dot on the horizon, exploded in gigantic clouds of smoke, producing a tunnel-thick void.

"Impressive!" the Sea Emperor's sidekick exclaimed in shock, because from his Divine Sense, he clearly saw that after that arrow, the small mountain on the island had been penetrated.

Moreover, the void at the front was small, but behind the mountain, it had erupted into a massive collapse.

"A highly skilled archer!" The Sea Emperor's eyes glinted coldly.

And at this time, watching the shattered wine glass and spilled red wine all over the Sea Emperor's pants, his lips curled in disdain for the rich, and he taunted, "Are you satisfied?"

The Sea Emperor laughed but said nothing.

The sidekick beside him chuckled slightly and said, "Sir, there's no doubt about your strength, but Shen Qiang is not an ordinary cultivator. Are you truly confident of success?"

The man laughed upon hearing this, dismissively saying, "Shen Qiang is a big figure in the Hua Xia Cultivation World, everything he does is monitored by cultivators, so he can't keep secrets. In close combat, his Dao Fruit is above Abyss Young Master's Funeral, and few in the Hua Xia Cultivation World can kill him."

"But I'm different. If I wanted to kill him, Shen Qiang wouldn't even know how he died, because members of Qingyun Sword Pavilion are close combatants, and Heshenghe's demons are mostly close-range too. Only Zuo Lianghao counts as a long-range, and he's just a short-handed guy to me."

"So as long as I make a move, Shen Qiang and his people won't have time to notice me, and Shen Qiang will already be dead."

The Sea Emperor's sidekick smiled, "Heshenghe is full of powerful figures; perhaps they have someone who can deal with you."

The man laughed, "You're wrong; all Heshenghe members, in my eyes, are just moving targets. Other than Zhan Deyuan who can match me, the rest can only be hit by me, without qualification to hit back."

The Sea Emperor's sidekick laughed, turning his gaze to the Sea Emperor.

The Sea Emperor's cold gaze fell silently on the man.

Such an attitude made the man somewhat displeased.

"You've seen my strength; I'm a top-notch shooter in the Cultivation World. The ones I target never survive, so it's time you paid the deposit."

The Sea Emperor coldly chuckled, nodded slightly.

The sidekick immediately handed a box to the man.

The man opened it, seeing it filled with gold, he inspected it briefly, then laughed, "I'll return to Huaxia now and take action soon, so be ready with the balance."

With that, he gave a signaling glance to the tall, burly man with solid muscles standing by.

The two jumped off the luxurious cruise, then left by a small boat.

Watching their departing figures, the sidekick respectfully said, "My Lord Sea Emperor, that guy's cultivation is at the Dao Fruit Stage, and his Dao Fruit seems to be applied on the bow and arrow. Therefore, the sturdy big guy's stable stance apparently is for protection, and this duo should complete the task."

The Sea Emperor laughed, "Shen Qiang is not easy to kill. That guy believes his arrow can kill Shen Qiang, which is his biggest illusion. Shen Qiang is a God Slayer, but not every deity can be slain. His ability to achieve this means he's also a Divine Seed; not only that, he's a man with a guaranteed survival ability. If Shen Qiang was so easily killed, I wouldn't even need to worry about his existence."

Upon hearing this, the sidekick froze, "Your words, Your Majesty, I don't understand."

The Sea Emperor laughed, casually tossing the broken cup into the trash bin, and seriously said, "I've struggled under the shadow of the previous Dragon Emperor for thousands of years. I know too well the might of the Dragon Emperor's line, so now, I must find out whether Shen Qiang has other attack methods. Because to kill him, even with me, there's only one chance."

The sidekick instantly understood, earnestly saying, "You mean to use those two as guinea pigs?"

The Sea Emperor laughed, leisurely poured himself another glass of wine, swirled the wine, gently sniffed it, and said with a smile, "The Dragon Emperor's line, each is incredibly powerful. This Shen Qiang is the weakest Dragon Emperor I've seen in my life; he's an impostor, but that doesn't matter. As long as I kill him, I will reign supreme in these seas, the oppression by the Dragon Emperor over ten thousand years will become history."

The sidekick's eyes lit up, but then suddenly puzzled, "In that case, just killing Shen Qiang would suffice; why make it so complex?"

The Sea Emperor coldly laughed, gravely saying, "No God Slayer is simple. I can remain carefree under the Dragon Emperor's oppression only because the Dragon Emperor himself lacks long-range attack means. His body is strong, power invincible, but as long as I maintain distance and avoid battle, the Dragon Emperor has no means against me. If this counterfeit Shen Qiang inherits this aspect of the Dragon Emperor, then I'm already unbreakable. I can choose how to kill him, play at my leisure."

Draining the wine in one gulp, the Sea Emperor's face turned grim, "But if Shen Qiang has powerful long-range attack means, then I must eliminate him within the shortest time. Otherwise, once he rises, the world will have no place for me!"
