CHAPTER 397: CHAPTER 376: THE LAST THREE CANDIDATES

Shi Nian didn’t care what the situation with those three was, she had slipped away!

Melees are the most dangerous! Even the strongest might be surrounded and killed!

It’s better to be cautious.

However.

What made Shi Nian irritated was that these three candidates somehow kept following her.

Shi Nian was outright furious!

What do they mean by this?

They think she’s the easiest to bully, right?

Indeed, this is what these three candidates were thinking.

They thought that since Shi Nian was always hiding and only showing part of herself, she must be lacking in strength.

Moreover. These top-notch powerhouses were basically all well-acquainted with each other.

Among the nine, eight recognized one another. Only this last candidate had never shown her face and her identity was completely unknown to them.

It was highly likely that she had only just advanced to their level. Besides, her ability to conceal herself was so strong, it was very likely that her actual combat ability wasn’t all that great.

So, this one was probably a soft persimmon.

Soft persimmons are what everyone wants to squeeze.

"Let’s make it clear! Let’s hunt her down together, and as for who gets that bloodline in the end, may the best man win."

Since the three of them knew each other and were of similar strength, if they fought, it would be hard to determine a winner quickly, and what if someone from the void snuck back to launch a surprise attack on them?

It was safer to get rid of this slinker first.

"Fine, let’s kill her first! We can settle our own matters later!"

The candidates began to discuss openly, not feeling the slightest hint that Shi Nian even had a chance to survive.

Shi Nian stopped, fuming with anger.

Shifting through the void consumed her energy! If these people kept following her, she’d eventually be forced to come out.

So they all think she’s easy to bully?

Shi Nian was getting angry, too.

She just liked peace, okay?

Were they really forcing her hand?

In the void.

Shi Nian gathered her Spiritual Power, opened her mouth, and suddenly a beam of light shot out.

The beam targeted a candidate and pierced straight through his body.

The next moment. His body vaporized into gas, leaving not even a trace behind!

The remaining two candidates looked over in horror.

Another candidate, on their level, had just died so easily, right beside them.

Shi Nian emerged directly from the void.

She wore a face that was, in practical terms, the face of a dead fish, as she absorbed that bloodline.

Then, looking at the remaining two with gritted teeth, she said, "Come on. Attack me together, why don’t you!"

She wanted to stay low-key!

She didn’t want to attract the attention of the other candidate who was stronger than her!

But since they insisted on pushing her.

She had no choice but to fight before going low-key again.

The remaining two exchanged glances, still not recovered from the shock they just experienced.

Biting their teeth, they suddenly escaped in two different directions, in a mutual understanding.

"Thinking of running now? Too late!" Shi Nian had totally lost her cool.

She charged forward and killed one.

Then she quickly moved towards the other direction, taking down another.

The three candidates were so strong that they directly pushed Shi Nian’s Experience Points up to level ninety!

With this, her Kunpeng Bloodline accumulation reached four parts.

After collecting the bloodline, Shi Nian immediately hid back into the void.

And the announcement sounded again.

"Four candidates have perished, five remain. The outcome is imminent, please continue to work hard."

In just that instant, three had died simultaneously?

Atop a submarine volcano.

A gigantic Soul Devouring Shark opened its eyes.

In an instant, three died?

Was there a being who took on three alone and killed all three?

A ferocious expression crept across his face, now tinged with a hint of wariness.

Within the massive currents at the deepest part of the sea, the shadowy form of the sharp-toothed dragonfish revealed a savage smile.

Interesting. It seems there is yet another contender in the final battle.

All creatures were speculating, who could possess such terrifying power?

The remaining candidates became solemn.

Aside from those two monstrosities, the rest should theoretically be of similar strength.

The one who had died previously also succumbed after an extraordinarily grueling battle.

Now however.

In an instant, three candidates were annihilated.

It can only be said that the one who took action held an absolutely superior advantage in a one versus three match.

What does this mean?

Has a third top-level monster emerged in the ocean?

These apex beings often have connections with each other. By confronting one another, they confirmed the identities of those who had perished.

And the one who had taken action was also largely identified by them.

This dreadful entity is a mysterious powerhouse unknown to any of them.

They had originally thought this one to be trailing behind, which is why those three sought to target her first.

Who could have anticipated.

That she was not only not the weakest link.

But a super terrifying presence!

This one’s Kunpeng Bloodline is probably not something they can covet.

Originally, there were already two monstrously powerful entities, and now there is one more.

And the remaining two could only shudder in fear.

Neither stood a chance against any, and they might not even win against each other.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Kunpeng Bloodline once integrated could not be extracted, they would have thought of giving up directly.

The two remaining candidates met in secret, agreeing to ally with each other with the sole objective of trying to survive longer.

However, before they could finalize their plans.

A rampant wave surged toward them.

The expressions of the two candidates changed drastically.

A Soul Devouring Shark rushed towards them with a sinister laugh.

It’s that freak from the volcano!

The two candidates couldn’t help but show a look of despair.

The next moment.

The announcement appeared once again.

"Six candidates have perished, leaving only the last three. The bloodline struggle has reached a fever pitch! Keep up the fight!" The voice seemed to rise in fervor as well.

This was but two hours after the previous announcement.

In such a short span of time, five candidates had died successively.

The entire sea area began to tremble.

Shi Nian also felt like crying out for her mother.

The two candidates were eliminated at the same time.

It was evident that a true powerhouse had emerged.

The power ceiling of this sea area was indeed much higher than the previous minor worlds.

Even at level ninety, without verifying her own strength, Shi Nian dared not claim with certainty that she could win!

If possible.

She wished to hide until the end of time.

But now, hiding seemed futile.

Only the last three remained.

Given the situation, the final battle was likely imminent.

Shi Nian was not mistaken.

Very soon.

A Soul Devouring Shark arrived at the void where she was.

The Soul Devouring Shark revealed its sharp teeth: "How about the two of us form an alliance?"

He spoke of forming an alliance.

Shi Nian was momentarily stunned.

The Soul Devouring Shark went on to say: "I have just killed two candidates, but one of them had two bloodlines within. Added to my own, I now possess four bloodlines. You also carry four bloodlines, giving us an advantage in bloodline power! Although the dragonfish is terrifying, if we join forces and add the bonus from our bloodlines, we might well stand a chance against it."
