Chapter 2444: This Dog Couple Knows Not of Honor

The three transformed Dragon Kings would usually have come across as massive, but compared to those four hulking giants, they were nothing more than slightly bigger snakes.

Even so, they still descended to Zu An’s side and said, “Thank you for your aid. We won’t let you face them alone!”

Even the North Sea Dragon King, despite being afflicted with death energy, stood near Zu An in his human form, determined to join the battle too.

Zu An glanced at the giant palm print on the North Sea Dragon King's waist. The death energy had been suppressed for now, but  if a battle were to break out, it might break free and corrode his body. So, he flitted over to the North Sea Dragon King’s side.

The Mermaid Queen was startled. She'd thought Zu An was going to ask her to treat him, but she was also helpless in the face of the death energy. She could fix the symptoms but not the root of the issue.

She was just about to play her zither when Zu An raised his hand and sent a vortex of suction force at the North Sea Dragon King’s waist.

The North Sea Dragon King was startled by Zu An’s sudden appearance. It wasn't too long ago that the two of them had argued over the Peacock Princess, so he thought Zu An was trying to assault him. But on second thought, it didn’t make sense for Zu An to assault him when they were already faced with more threatening enemies.

In his moment of hesitation, a black hole seemed to appear in Zu An’s hand, and the death energy that had been torturing him gradually weakened. The North Sea Dragon King quickly looked down to inspect the area. Much to his delight, the grayish-white energy on his waist was indeed being siphoned away from his body.

The Mermaid Queen hurriedly reminded Zu An, “Careful. The death energy is formidable.”

She was worried Zu An would underestimate the death energy and succumb to it. Even the Dragon race’s garrison troops had to rely on their faith and life force to fend it off.

“I’m good,” Zu An replied as he retracted his hand.

Any other expert would have struggled to deal with the death energy, but he used the Taotie’s Heaven-Devouring Sutra to absorb it before refining it with the Primordial Origin Sutra.

The Ocean races were both surprised and overjoyed to see Zu An unfazed by the death energy. He is truly unfathomably powerful.

The North Sea Dragon King bowed deeply to Zu An. “Thank you for saving my life!”

He hadn’t expected the latter to bury the hatchet and help him. He felt both ashamed and awed.

Zu An supported the king up as he said, “There’s no need to be so courteous, Dragon King. Our priority at hand is to overcome the crisis before us.”

By now, it had already sunk in for him that he would likely have to intervene to push for an alliance between the Ocean races and the Fiend races, so they could defeat the powerful monsters together just as it unfolded in his timeline's history.

“Huh? Death energy doesn’t work on you? How’s that possible?” Ox Head exclaimed in astonishment.

Zu An assessed the four hulking monsters in astonishment too. Each of them was no weaker than Mojard at his peak, and his gut feeling told him they weren’t at their own peak yet. Could this be the true prowess of Ox Head and Horse Face?

“You called yourself the Shaman races. Are you from the same Shaman races who fought with the Fiend races in the past?” Zu An asked curiously. He had always known Ox Head and Horse Face as guards of the underworld, so he was surprised to see them identifying themselves as shamans.

The Ocean races were perplexed to hear those words.

What’s going on? If it’s a fight between the Shaman races and the Fiend races, how did our Ocean races get involved, and even side with the Fiend races?

They vaguely remembered a certain war in ancient history, but it was so long ago that they didn’t know the details surrounding it. Zu An’s knowledge about it made him even more enigmatic to them, prompting them to look at him with respect.

The Mermaid Queen’s gaze was also getting increasingly gentler.

“Hah. You’ll have to get past my halberd to raise questions!” As he raised his halberd once more,  Ox Head snorted out white gas. He refused to accept that Zu An had blocked his attack.

“Be careful.” Zu An gently pushed the Mermaid Queen elsewhere before facing the incoming halberd.

This time, he whipped out the Tai’e Sword and executed his swordsmanship. A massive sword avatar comparable to the halberd in size manifested around him.

The clash between the massive sword and halberd produced powerful currents that forced the Ocean races’ army and the smaller Ox Heads and Horse Faces to retreat a great distance away.

Ox Head’s halberd was knocked back, and he was forced several steps backward. Given his massive size, it was a considerable distance.

Zu An, on the other hand, stood his ground.

This greatly boosted the Ocean races’ morale. They cheered in delight.

“How is this possible?” Ox Head widened his eyes in disbelief. Never had he thought that he would be overpowered in a direct clash! Furious, his eyes reddened, and his muscles further swelled up. “Again!”

You have successfully trolled Ox Head for 399… 399… 399…

He swung his halberd with even greater fervor than before.

Zu An was about to counterattack when he suddenly noticed music notes dancing around him. They boosted his speed, strength, and other attributes by at least 20%. On top of that, he also received many blessings, such as enhanced stamina recovery, enhanced defense, increased skill resistance, and so on. Even though he had similar abilities, these blessings were still significant to him.

He turned around to look at the beautiful Mermaid Queen. The latter flashed him a warm smile as she stroked the Deep Sea Harp in her arms and sang a divine melody. “Ahh~ Ahhh~~”

It was a song without words, but she brought out different notes and melodies from this single sound. It was truly the most beautiful song in the world. It was a one-of-a-kind blessing from the Mermaid Queen.

When she felt Zu An’s affirmative gaze, the Mermaid Queen smiled proudly. I’m not a flower vase who only drags others down.

She had held back on supporting him because she wasn’t sure of his fighting style and was worried her blessings would hinder him. But now that she had seen him fight several times, she was confident that her blessings would be helpful to him.

With the Mermaid Queen’s buffs, Zu An’s sword was much stronger than before.

Ox Head, despite having entered a berserk state, was knocked back by Zu An’s sword yet again. This time, he retreated further than before.

Ox Head was speechless.

Horse Face wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to. When he noticed Ox Head’s furious glare, he quickly said, “This dog couple has no honor. How dare they gang up on you? Brother Ox, I’ll help you!”

He charged at the Mermaid Queen with a trident in hand.
