Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

With the collapse of the captain, the frantic Dagger suddenly became silent, the silence of death.

"Such brutality..." Chen Qi frowned.

Aunt Carol, a consummate practitioner of gun combat, was superior to the majority of Third-tier Transcendents even in close quarters combat.

Suddenly, a bright red petal, accompanied by a drop of rain, fell onto Chen Qi's face.

"Qi, fall back, then cease to think..."

The Flower Witch Fen silently stepped forward, tossing aside her magic wand.

Fen... Chen Qi silently stepped back.

Fen bit her left-hand finger, then extended her right hand, slowly reaching for the flower on her face, and then violently pulled it.

The blood-stained stem of the flower was pulled from Fen's face, bit by bit.

For those with the blood flower disease, the flower was a part of their life force.

And life force, in schools primarily focused on Cup Phase or Floral Appearance, could serve as the fuel for release.

A release powered by life force could, in a short span, even suppress a legendary Transcendent.

This was also why the Flower Witch dared to traverse these seas.

"What is this???"

Carol blinked and tilted her head curiously.

The uprooted flower, along with the sea breeze, gently scattered, turning into petals in the storm.

The Flower Witch sang softly:

"Floral Release. Blooms from blood."

With the chant, flowers began to sprout one after another on the skin of the Flower Witch.

From the white buds to full-blown white flowers, they rapidly turned bright red and then, with the wind, became petals dancing in the sea breeze.

How many years of life... Chen Qi vaguely remembered, the release skill of the Flower Witch not only consumed a great deal of life but also led to physical frailty.

Fen continued to pluck the flowers on her skin.

Accompanied by raindrops and sea breeze, the bright red petals fell onto Carol's face.

"Wait..."

Carol blinked silently.

Without realizing it, she was already in the midst of a downpour of red petals!!!

"My perception..."

Carol suddenly became alarmed; she hadn't dodged and her perception was fading.

Even release skills are subject to absolute rank suppression!

For Carol, the release of a Third-tier Transcendent was, at most, a slightly stronger skill!

But now, she couldn't move, and as soon as she was touched by the flowers, an indescribable pain continuously burrowed into the surface of her skin!

Something was wrong! This wasn't an ordinary release!!

Steam engine! Heavy hammer!

Carol's right arm emitted intensely hot steam and formed into a claw, rushing violently towards Fen!

"Come here! Little Witch!"

"Who allowed you to play tricks?"

Carol grabbed Fen's head, violently dragging her to her side.

However, the next instant, the Fen in her hands turned into petals, bright red petals...

What!!

Illusions, the Domain of the mind... Carol immediately pulled out a psychic syringe, injecting it into herself.

However, as soon as the needle pierced her skin, blood gushed out and a bright red flower bloomed on her skin.

Then her skin rapidly dulled, withered, and finally turned into something like soil!

A flower growing from the wound, the loss of life force... Carol was stunned, fear finally appearing in her once-confident eyes.

She could feel her life fading away, permanently...

Illusions! Spiritual suppression! Flowers growing from wounds!!!

This was no ordinary release!

The Witch's release... Carol's eyes shifted from mockery to anger, her gaze fiercely moving from Fen to Chen Qi!

If she couldn't capture Fen, then she would go after the Black Hunter!

This was the bloom from blood, the Witch's release skill... Chen Qi extended his hand, feeling the petals in the wind.

And at this moment, Fen silently appeared from among the petals:

"Qi, I, I... have only ten seconds left, just ten seconds... You must leave within ten seconds..."

Ten seconds? Leave?

With the low growls of the creatures beneath his feet and the sound of the horn from the distant Blood ship...

Chen Qi looked up at the bewildered Carol, smiling faintly:

"Ten seconds is enough for a complete victory."
