Whoever killed the hideout chief would get 80 spirit stones. And it went without saying that they would be credited with meritorious service for the sect. If Xu Qing hadn’t encountered the hideout chief, and hadn’t started fighting him, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. But he had already seriously injured the man, and was about to lay hands on him. At that very moment, this Merfolk captain launched his own sneak attack, which was an obvious attempt to take credit for Xu Qing’s work.

Xu Qing’s eyes burned with killing intent.

However, because of the giant blue hand summoned by the talisman treasure, he didn’t have time to do anything.

Just as the young merman was about to launch his final killing blow, Xu Qing performed an incantation gesture. Instantly, a host of water droplets rose around the merman, transforming into a jellyfish.

“What is this crap?” the young merman sneered, instantly summoning a defensive shield to block the jellyfish’s attack. However, as soon as the jellyfish hit the shield, it shattered.

The young merman had obviously underestimated Xu Qing’s jellyfish.

As the shield collapsed, the jellyfish once again turned into a host of water droplets, which then took on the shape of a huge net, locking the young merman in place. The merman frowned as his chance to nab the hideout chief vanished. In fact, the chief had already fled about nine meters away.

Xu Qing took advantage of that moment to burst into motion, while simultaneously allowing the huge hand to slam into him from behind.

BOOOOOM!

Blood sprayed out...
