Battle Against Number 17, Lainekel (2)

Splatter—

The sound of sharp weapons piercing flesh echoed incessantly as 17's body was impaled by blades, wedging between bone and flesh. After a brief delay, the blades suddenly burst open, splashing water droplets accompanied by a cloud of blood.

As Ji Chen contemplated delivering the finishing blow, 17's figure abruptly disappeared from the spot, only to reappear not far away.

Nonetheless, he appeared quite battered. His body was covered in wounds, some of them so deep that they exposed bone, and a dark, putrid blood seeped from these injuries. There wasn't a single spot on his body that remained undamaged.

In this brief clash with 17, Ji Chen ultimately gained the upper hand.

Within this domain of the sea, Ji Chen was the king. Even though 17's level was as high as 69, the suppression within the domain had dropped him to nearly level 60. At this level of strength, he was on par with Ji Chen's overall power.
