Chapter 40: Advance and Retreat

【Wanghai Expedition Road Bosang】

The dark blue light escaped from the sea, shining in the dark night of the city, and when the light reached the streets, a terrifying aura descended on the city, and the inhabitants of the city woke up from their sleep, looking at the sea that was levitating over the castle, and a trace of fear flashed in their hearts.

Just as that terrifying aura came, the duke, who was a hundred miles away, slowly turned his gaze in this direction, a trace of doubt flashed in his gray pupils, and then disappeared in an instant, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What's the matter, Michael, isn't it possible that you're familiar with that breath?" Beside the duke, a middle-aged man in a pale gold trimmed robe looked at him with a smile, and the duke saluted him respectfully and said:

"My lord, it was Skye who made the breath, it seems that he made something amazing." After the duke finished speaking, the middle-aged man was silent for a moment, looked in that direction, and smiled after a while.

"I have to say that despite the passage of 2,000 years, the gray snow is still so exciting." As soon as the lord finished speaking, the duke also smiled, for people like them, although the Seven Swords at the End of the Realm were extremely powerful, they could still only be regarded as an existence that could make them smile slightly.

The duke slowly raised his hand, and a crystal ball appeared in his hand, and in the crystal ball, a faint image gradually emerged, and the young man with a huge crystal behind him appeared in his sight.

The gray blade made the lord feel very familiar, although it was the first time the duke had seen it, but it was not the first time that the lord had seen it, looking at this very familiar blade, he couldn't help but think of some things back then.

"Michael, do you know of the 'great tribulation' of the seas that once occurred?" The lord suddenly asked this sentence for some reason, which made the duke a little confused, and he naturally didn't know about the catastrophe.

Seeing the duke's confused expression, the lord shook his head, turned his head and swam over at sea level.

"Aren't you going to tell me about it, my lord?" The Duke suddenly felt that this lord was a little inexplicable.

"No, it's all old and not worth mentioning, I'm still interested in the old Order that little Louis provoked." When the duke came back to his senses, the lord had disappeared from his sight, and the duke shook his head helplessly, shook his body, and disappeared into the vast sea.

……

Ace slowly put down Fili in his arms, looking at Clough, who was already a little inhuman, not far away, a trace of disgust rose on his face, although he had only negotiated a deal with Clough not long ago, but now, he was very unhappy to look at all the fish people.

Clough found the murderous intent in Ace's eyes, looked at his severed arm, and couldn't help but gasp, thinking that this guy was really not an ordinary person, and then looked at Ike who fell to the ground, and a ridiculous thought flashed in his mind.

"I really didn't expect that the contractor who made a deal with me before actually began to protect his master, didn't you already see him unhappy?" Clough's tone was slightly mocking, but Ace ignored him.

"I think you're more disgusting than this kid, you're a complete bastard, and he's just a scoundrel." Ace immediately raised his hand, and the dagger he had thrown out before returned to his hand as if it had been pulled by something, a flash of silver light, like a waning moon.

Clough's huge mouth pursed, and his eyes became a little scarlet when he looked at Ike, the eyes of the ocean in his eyebrows emitted a dazzling blue light, and the temperature around him suddenly dropped a lot, and in the face of an enemy like Ace, Clough did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Although Ace, who is an apostle of dreams, is strong, but due to the loss of a lot of soul power by that formation before, and Ike is extremely weak at this time, it is completely impossible to let go of his hands and feet to fight Clough, but there are many that can come in handy now.

"Come out, my servants, and move your muscles." Before Ace's words fell, dozens of black shadows scurried up in the hall, and the killers who had been sent by Clough to act with Ace were wandering around the hall, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

"I sent so many good men to assassinate Bob, but I didn't think that I was actually under your command, did you control their spirits?" Clough said very calmly, after Clough devoured the two Ocean Eyes, he could already feel that Ace was controlling and being controlled by these killers.

"Bingo, the answer is correct, but unfortunately there is no reward." Ace smiled sinisterly, the killers and old fish-man sacrifices he had sent earlier had been killed by Bob, and in order to preserve his strength, he had the remaining eighty percent of them hidden in case something happened, and now was the time to use them.

"I have to say, you are ruthless enough, you actually control all the killers under me, well, I really underestimate you." Clough's eyes flashed with rage, he was already burning with rage.

Ace didn't have time to listen to him gossip there, so of course, a group of people should be decisive when they hit this kind of thing.

Those killers were instructed by Ace's eyes, and killed Clough's various vital parts, neck, head, chest, etc., Ace likes to order simply, one-hit killing is his style, and there will always be trouble in dragging mud and water.

Eyes of the Sea, Frozen for a Thousand Miles!

Clough's eyes of the ocean emitted a dazzling light, the light was as cold as ice, and as the ice blue light gradually spread, the killers who came at him froze, and their bodies had formed ice ballasts visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, Ace's figure had disappeared, and Clough suddenly saw what was more in Ace's hand, a seriously injured teenager? Then he glanced behind him, and Ike, who had just fallen to the ground, had disappeared.

"Bastard, you actually want to exchange the lives of these killers for the lives of that kid! You're ruthless! Clough was a little distressed, these killers were all good hands he had cultivated, and if he could freeze them, they would be useful in the future, but looking at the current situation, these killers were going to die in vain.

The corners of Ace's mouth had curved into an arc of maniacal laughter, and a brilliant light appeared in his hand, and in an instant, a ray of light slammed towards Clough.

Soul concussion.

Suddenly, Clough fell into a trance, although his strength had been greatly improved after devouring the two Ocean Eyes, but the soul was still at the original level, and it was difficult for a soul at this level to withstand the attack of a powerful soul like Ace.

In this regard, Clough's expression became a little distorted, he opened his huge mouth, and swallowed the killers who rushed over directly, looking at Clough's fierce behavior, Ace also gasped.

"This guy is so ruthless! I thought I was ruthless enough to let those killers die with him, but I didn't think he would swallow it in one gulp. Ace was a little surprised in his heart.

Although Clough's strength is not weak, with his more than 2,000 years of soul experience, he can crush him in his soul, provided that someone has to be cannon fodder.

He really didn't expect that Clough could swallow so many people in one bite, how big his mouth was......

What Ace didn't expect was that after he swallowed these people, Clough's soul power actually increased for a short time! This was something he didn't expect, he didn't expect that Clough's devouring ability could be so brutal, almost similar to that of the group of evil sect spiritual cultivators in the East.

Clough's Eye of the Ocean is the Eye of the Ocean with the ability to devour, and this Eye of the Ocean is naturally not comparable to those evil sect spiritual cultivators in the East, but he can indeed make his power increase temporarily by devouring.

Clough devoured the souls of those killers, and in a short period of time, the soul power was directly raised to the early stage of vastness, however, Ace only had the soul power of the early stage of vastness.

Originally, Ace's soul power could be very well eaten at the bottom of this sea, if it wasn't for the emperor who wanted to be a mermaid royal family or something like that, no one could be stronger than him, and as a result, this bastard duke could also be so tricky.

Clough's strength at this time really made Ace feel a headache, if he fought head-on, Clough had just devoured Sean and Bob's Eye of the Ocean, and his strength had greatly improved, and he had just been a little weakened by the formation, so he naturally couldn't beat it.

Originally, relying on the strength of his soul power, it was not impossible to defeat Clough, and before devouring it, he was just a weak soul with the early stage of condensation.

However, at this time, he is not dominant, and it is very easy to suppress Clough with the power brought by the gray snow, who would have thought that this guy would swallow two eyes of the ocean, and his soul power would skyrocket to such a realm?

Thinking of this, Ace was very entangled, and it seemed that all the bad things had caught up with him.

Looking at the half-dead Ike on his shoulder, Ace sighed, threw Ike directly on the crystal behind him, picked up the crystal, picked up Fili on the ground, and planned to run away.

"Do you want to go? It's not that easy! Clough raised his hand, and a wall of ice appeared around Ace, blocking his movements, and Ace shrugged helplessly.

"You want to stop me? You're more than 2,000 years early, damn, even Jean can't stop me, with you? Ace burst into a foul mouth, and with a flick of his body slammed out of the ice wall, and the crystal covered with gray snow was the weapon he used to break the ice wall.

Seeing Ace's strange way of escaping, Clough was also a little surprised, he had never seen anyone who used that kind of thing as a weapon.

"No, you can't just let them go!" Clough made up his mind, and looked at Ace who ran out of the hall, his huge body shook twice, and the scales became a little trembling.

Following Ace's steps, he also rushed out of the hall.
