The one-meter-long colorful fish swung its tail and unexpectedly sent Gu Li Demon flying backwards.
Gu Li Demon was a master-level Venerable expert, yet he was forced to retreat repeatedly on the starship by this fish.
Could this fish possess strength comparable to that of a Venerable?
At that moment, Qin Chen also saw the large fish. The entire fish was nearly one meter long, weighing dozens of pounds. When it was pulled out from the Nether Star River, it dazzled like a blinding sun, making it impossible to discern its true appearance.
But now that it had landed on the starship, its brilliance dimmed slightly, revealing a radiant array of colors. The scales on its body were enormous, and each scale displayed a distinctly different color, vibrant like a rainbow. Additionally, the fish had two long whiskers at the corners of its mouth, and it suddenly shook on the deck, attempting to leap back into the Nether Star River.
"Damn it, where do you think you're going, stinky fish? Just wait until my Gu Li Demon is done with you!"
Gu Li Demon roared, stabilizing his form and pouncing forward.
The dwarf elder stared blankly as Gu Li Demon charged at the colorful fish, his expression dazed. The colorful scales, long whiskers, and dozens of pounds of fish—could he be seeing this correctly?
He had guided many powerful figures in this black market, but what he was witnessing now was undoubtedly the most thrilling event of his life.
Gu Li Demon let out another roar, this time prepared. The terrifying aura of a Venerable radiated from his body, erupting with a thunderous roar. Just before the colorful fish could plunge back into the Nether Star River, he struck it back onto the starship with a single punch.
"Hey, behave yourself, don't move. Did you hear me? If you don't make me beat you, I'm actually quite gentle. Don't force me to take action."
Gu Li Demon pressed down hard on the colorful fish. Although the fish was hit by Gu Li Demon's punch, it remained lively, bouncing around the starship and thrashing its large tail, nearly breaking free several times, almost sending Gu Li Demon flying away.
The strength of this colorful fish was astonishing.
At that moment, Ci Tianqiong and Qi Buman finally reacted, quickly leaping to the sides to intervene. However, Gu Li Demon was already fully engaged with the fish, wrestling with it. They could only block the sides to prevent the fish from jumping back into the river, occasionally making a move.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Gu Li Demon's fists struck the fish's head as if hitting iron plates; this fish was incredibly hard.
As the fish thrashed closer to the edge of the starship, Ci Tianqiong let out a cold snort and said, "Gu Li Demon, let me handle this."
Boom! He swung a punch forward.
Hearing the voice, Gu Li Demon immediately released the fish, just in time to see it leap up in midair, only to be hit by Ci Tianqiong's blade-like strike.
With a loud clang, the fish burst forth with a radiant multicolored glow. Ci Tianqiong's strike landed on it, sounding as if it had struck metal, creating a piercing roar.
The colorful light emanated from the fish, surprisingly withstanding Ci Tianqiong's blow, and leveraging the momentum of the attack, the fish aimed to jump back into the Nether Star River.
Not good! Ci Tianqiong's expression changed instantly; he was also concerned that Qin Chen wanted to keep the creature alive, so he used only a portion of his strength and purposely struck with the back of his blade, intending to stun the fish instead of killing it. He never expected that the fish would possess such abilities.
If it jumped back into the Nether Star River, he wouldn't be able to afford the consequences.
Just as the fish was about to leap into the Nether Star River... Qin Chen suddenly moved.
Boom! His large hand shot out like lightning, instantly grabbing the fish. Divine light surged from his fingers, and the power of the rules enveloped it, slamming the fish hard onto the deck.
After this blow, the colorful fish thrashed a couple of times, then fell unconscious.
