Can such a thin water shield withstand his punch?

The power behind this punch, he had practiced it for a full thirty years!!

No matter what, this Divine Patron must die.

Blinking his eyes, his fist collided with the water shield, and Duanbi’s face changed dramatically because he felt like his fist had hit a bundle of cotton, and all the force dissipated, causing no harm.

Subconsciously, he tried to retract his arm but found it stuck as if glued and couldn’t free it.

Watching Ji Chen’s unchanged smile, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

“Wait…”

He was about to say something when he was struck by a massive hammer. His several meters tall body flew backwards as if it had lost all its weight, spraying blood and a few teeth in the air. With a thud, he plunged into the sea and didn’t resurface for a long time, as if he had died directly under this blow.

Frowning at this scene, Ji Chen released his spiritual power.

Soon, he spotted Duanbi desperately swimming using a doggy paddle technique, a few hundred meters away in the ocean.

Trying to escape?

Ji Chen raised his hands, and a vast amount of mana poured out.

A massive hand of water, thick and strong, suddenly rose from the sea in the distance, clutching Duanbi who was struggling ceaselessly.

Compared to this massive hand, Duanbi, who was five or six meters tall, looked as thin as a twig.

Ji Chen waved his hand lightly, and Duanbi was brought in front of him by the giant hand.

He said calmly, “Do you still want to continue the fight?”

Even in this situation, Duanbi still had a face full of hatred and resentment, his eyes as if wanting to devour Ji Chen alive.

This Deceiver had indeed been brainwashed quite effectively. Ji Chen sighed inwardly and didn’t intend to continue playing with him. He was about to crush him with a single slap.

But then, there came an anxious shout.

“Hold on, don’t kill him!”

Ji Chen furrowed his brows slightly and turned to look.

Yasen arrived in a small airship not far away.

Seeing Ji Chen’s furrowed brows, he quickly said, “Your Excellency, 1 don’t want to steal your credit. I will report everything you’ve done today truthfully. No one can take away your contributions.

In fact, capturing a Silver Mask Deceiver alive is more valuable than killing him. Please hand him over to us, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory outcome!”

Yasen spoke very earnestly, lowering his posture significantly.

Strength spoke for everything.

If he were dealing with a weaker individual, he wouldn’t be this polite. However, he had just witnessed Ji Chen crush the enemy with absolute strength, and that imposing demeanor was enough to deter everyone and gain his complete approval.

At least, he felt that facing this giant-sized Silver Mask Deceiver wouldn’t be so easy and comfortable.

Ji Chen glanced at Yasen, and his brow slowly relaxed. “Very well, 1’11 leave him to you.”

Upon hearing this, Yasen breathed a sigh of relief. He was genuinely afraid that Ji Chen would refuse, which would have made things very difficult.

Choosing between the friendship and goodwill of a strong ally and a living Silver Mask Deceiver who could provide a wealth of information, Yasen would probably choose the former. But it would still be a somewhat painful decision.

Yasen understood that Ji Chen was extending a favor to him, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratitude in his heart.

He knew that this Silver Mask Deceiver had designed traps and schemes to frame Ji Chen, even posing a threat to his life with a substantial portion of his forces.

To hand over such an enemy so readily was a testament to the friendship between their Elves and Ji Chen.

The massive hand suddenly exerted force, and Duanbi spurted out a mouthful of blood, looking dejected. He was forcibly returned to his normal size from his giant form.

Then, Ji Chen tossed him onto the airship like garbage.

The Elves and soldiers on board quickly checked Duanbi’s condition. Upon learning that he was not in mortal danger, they also showed gratitude.

For them, letting Duanbi die like this would be too merciful. The recent collapse of the hills had buried many of their comrades, and only by subjecting him to the most excruciating torment could they ease their hearts.

Ji Chen merely nodded in response.

Originally, he had contemplated dealing with Duanbi directly to vent his frustration. However, upon realizing that Duanbi was not just any Deceiver but the leader responsible for the Silver Mask Deceivers in the Maple Principality, he changed his mind.

After today, he, as someone directly or indirectly involved in resolving the majority of the Deceivers in the Maple Principality, would undoubtedly draw the attention of the Deceivers.

Given their recent behavior and their obsession with revenge, or what they called his “Divine Patron” identity, it was evident that as long as he remained on the continent, Deceivers would pose a continuous threat, both openly and covertly.

Ji Chen was not one to sit idly by.

But the enemy that scared him wasn’t the Deceivers themselves; it was the unknown aspect of the enemy.

So, it was better to collaborate with the Elves and the Maple Principality, who had been in a long-term battle against the Deceivers, to gain more insights into this mysterious organization.

As the saying goes, “Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.”

“I hope that after you extract useful information from him, you will share it with the Crown of the Ocean,”

Yasen readily agreed, “Of course, without your intervention, these Deceivers might have escaped.”

“It’s only right and proper,” Ji Chen replied with a slight nod.

He casually inquired, “How is the situation at the Deceiver’s base?”

Yasen sighed, a bitter expression on his face as he looked at the unconscious Duanbi, a hint of resentment in his eyes.

“That lunatic used several battalions of war puppets as bait to lure our soldiers into the caves, then triggered the pre-buried explosives to collapse all the entrances and exits, causing heavy casualties among our troops.

Currently, there are at least three thousand Maple Principality soldiers and a thousand Elven warriors trapped inside. Due to the complexity of the caves, we can’t even pinpoint their exact locations.

In addition, they’ve buried a vast amount of strategic supplies, war machinery, and wealth plundered from various locations in the Maple Principality. It’s as if they’d rather bury it than let us have it, damn it!”

Hearing about the strategic supplies and war machinery, Ji Chen immediately perked up and asked with great interest, “A vast amount of supplies? Does it include rare resources?”

Yasen found the question a bit strange but decided to answer truthfully, “It must include some. Previously, these Deceivers had plundered a batch of rare resources intended for overseas shipment.

Judging from the resources they left behind in Maple City, these rare resources were temporarily stored in this base. If it weren’t for this surprise attack, they might have moved them away.”

“Lord Ji Chen, may I ask why you’re inquiring about this…?”

“I mean, I can help you retrieve these buried supplies and assist in rescuing the trapped soldiers.”

“Is that true?!” Yasen was almost jumping with excitement, his face flushed.

It wasn’t surprising that he was so excited. The scarcity of the Elven population was well-known, and these one thousand Elven warriors represented almost a quarter of the total Elven population stationed in the Maple Principality.

If they were to lose a thousand Elven warriors in one fell swoop, even in victory, as the commander of this offensive, it would be considered a Pyrrhic victory. He would undoubtedly face direct accountability from the Council, and he might not even retain his position.

As the highest-ranking commander of the Fifth Fleet, Yasen quickly regained his composure. He spoke earnestly, “If you can rescue our soldiers, we will offer these rare resources as a token of gratitude to you.

Furthermore, the various strategic supplies and war machinery stored inside will be distributed…with forty percent going to you!”

Yasen had risen to the position of the highest-ranking commander of the Fifth Fleet not only due to his strength but also because of his keen sense of self-interest.

He knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Since Ji Chen had taken the initiative to offer his assistance, it was highly likely that he had set his sights on what was inside.

Therefore, instead of waiting for Ji Chen to reveal his intentions, Yasen thought it was better to proactively propose an arrangement.

Listening to this, Ji Chen didn’t hesitate and nodded in acknowledgment.

However, Yasen seemed more agreeable to him now.

Young man, it seems you know how to handle things.

A batch of rare resources along with a forty percent share of strategic resources and war machinery was more than enough to compensate for the losses incurred during this expedition..
