Pretending To Be A Boss

The melee finally ended.

Quite a few creatures survived; Junlin had no intention of killing these creatures, as it has already passed the phase of needing to establish its dominance.

A ferocious tiger does not deliberately trample over ants.

Only when the sea monster announced that this battle for the glory of the divine sea would be challenged by both number twelve and number one did these sea beasts finally understand.

This conductor of the symphony was never on their side; from beginning to end, he belonged to Junlin.

The figure of the Red Emperor slowly descended into the arena, only slightly more robust than Tang Xian. In terms of size, if Tang Xian was the smallest participant, the Red Emperor was the second smallest.

Clad in red armor, the Red Emperor's face was covered by a helmet, revealing only his eyes, filled with boundless fighting spirit.

After realizing they had been deceived by Tang Xian, the sea beasts became furious.

Tang Xian was unconcerned, knowing that soon they would realize that even without his scheming, their fate would not change.

Junlin's strength alone was enough to fight against nineteen, and he only made the process smoother.

As the pinnacle duel between Junlin and the Red Emperor unfolded, the sea beasts would understand that above the catastrophe and below the apocalypse, there lies a colossal chasm far beyond the catastrophe level.

On the arena, Red Emperor and Junlin were a hundred yards apart. However, the aura and killing intent they emitted filled the divine sea area as if they were tangible.

Tang Xian said:

"Isn't there any time to rest? Straight to facing the big boss after the melee?"

His voice wasn't loud, but even across such a distance, both the Red Emperor and Junlin could hear him

The Red Emperor shook his head slightly, this time his gaze not falling on Tang Xian.

While Tang Xian deserved attention, the current Junlin was too compelling to look away from.

The muscles on Junlin's body swelled, his demonic body looked more solid, eyes blood red, a hue quite similar to that of the Red Emperor.

That originally magnificent aura became even more tumultuous.

It was as if Junlin was the real demon lord, and the Red Emperor was the challenger.

The distant sea monster was slightly surprised. It thought it had paid enough attention to Junlin, yet it still underestimated this monster that looked 70% similar to Illidan Stormrage.

"You don't need rest, do you? The rules have always been this way, after the melee, it's a battle against me."

"Although I dare not assume, I'd like to ask on behalf of the lord, I want to know, what is this so-called supreme glory? If Lord Red Emperor you were defeated, what more valuable thing could you offer?"

The peculiar effects of ghost coral made Tang Xian believe this place is the burial ground of a destroyer god, and the Red Emperor is the Guardian. But he still wanted to hear the answer himself.

The Red Emperor shook his head and said:

"Before defeating me, this question cannot be answered."

While speaking, the Red Emperor raised his hand, pointing at Tang Xian, his eyes still looking at Junlin:

"Do you trust this human so much? Aren't you afraid he will stab you in the back during the duel with me?"

Junlin had indeed considered this; Tang Xian was not weak, and his motives for helping were mysterious.

Although Tang Xian's explanations were reasonable, the statement by the Red Emperor also had its possibilities.

"Lord Red Emperor, do not sow discord. Such tactics are unworthy of your status. How could I possibly betray Lord Junlin? Rather than calling me a challenger here, it's better to say I am a close-range witness. If Lord Red Emperor thinks you cannot defeat Lord Junlin, you can surrender. Such divisive tactics are very low-grade."

Tang Xian's tone was very calm, as if discussing a very trivial matter.

The Red Emperor looked at Junlin, who slightly shook his head and said:

[To fight, or not to fight?]

The Red Emperor indeed said no more; trusting his judgment, he believed Junlin would regret it, but for a defender in an arena, whether it's a battle of attrition or a united front against him, it didn't really make much difference.

The eliminated sea beasts gradually regained consciousness, looking towards the arena from afar, waiting for the big battle to begin.

The song of the sea monster began, causing even Tang Xian to feel a bit nervous.

When the song ended—

The figures of the Red Emperor and Junlin almost simultaneously flashed. Although a tsunami could not occur in the deep sea, the moment the two figures reappeared, the entire divine sea area felt the ravaging of violent currents.

If not for holding the trident, Tang Xian even felt he couldn't stand firm.

The surrounding ghost coral shattered instantly upon this collision!

Tang Xian was alarmed, and the sea beasts, scattered by the currents, were even more horrified.

The battle began.

This fierce collision was just the first round's probing by the two super monsters.

Tang Xian moved even further back, wishing only to be an observer, and had absolutely no desire to participate in the battle.

From the moment Junlin and the Red Emperor clashed, he felt these two monsters were a level above himself.
