At this very mont, the "Water Dragon Roar" unleashed by Wang Wanxi was countless tis stronger than Mr. Wang’s; if the old man saw it, he’d probably break out in a cold sweat—but he would definitely be proud, because his daughter had surpassed the master.
"Good timing!" Lin Tian roared, face full of excitent. The stronger the opponent, the higher his fighting spirit burned.
Lin Tian dropped into a half-crouch, eyes locked tightly onto the incoming Water Dragon, like a leopard about to pounce. Suddenly, his feet sprang, the reef beneath him shattering with a crack, and the surrounding seawater was shocked into a concave dip, showing just how terrifying that push-off was.
He shot out like a teor, charging straight at the Water Dragon, utterly fearless.
"teor Burst!"
Lin Tian bellowed, his shout setting the waves trembling. His whole body was like a teor slamming into the earth, both fists opening a path as he crashed head-on into the Water Dragon.
Rumble... Rumble...
For an instant, everything went still, ti itself seeming to freeze, then a gigantic mushroom cloud rose into the sky. The violent explosion bood as shockwaves surged outward in wave after wave.
The entire sea surface vanished from sight; there was only seawater and billowing steam. Lin Tian’s figure was swallowed up as well. Wang Wanxi, who was closest, was the first to be hit by the shockwave. She rapidly condensed her Protective Gang Qi, but was still blasted backward through the air.
On the shore, Xiao Manxue saw it all clearly—Lin Tian was at the very center of the explosion. Her heart gave a sudden lurch, her expression tensing, and she subconsciously took two steps forward.
But right in front of her was a sheer cliff over ten ters high; she was about to step off when a visible ripple swept past, directly knocking her backward into the air.
Xiao Manxue was startled, hurriedly adjusted her posture, and barely managed not to fall on her face. Yet the shock in her heart at this mont was beyond words—at such a distance, it could still blast her off her feet.
Then what about Lin Tian, who was at the center of that explosion? Xiao Manxuan snapped out of her shock, her heart leaping into her throat again.
Zhou Botong, Ou ngng, Ou Qinglan, Song Yanan, and Wan Gaoyuan were chatting, discussing how this battle of Lin Tian’s would play out, when suddenly they all felt a tremor. It wasn’t very strong, but everyone clearly sensed it.
"Damn, don’t tell Dayan Island is on a live volcano? Is it about to blow?" Zhou Botong exclaid. As he spoke, he’d already assud a running posture, but his hand still didn’t forget to grab Ou ngng’s and pull her along.
Ou ngng had originally wanted to scold him for making a fuss over nothing, but seeing that even while fleeing Zhou Botong still held her hand in a death grip, her heart instantly filled with sweetness and happiness.
When people encounter danger, escape is instinct. If at that mont soone can still think of you, it proves how important you are in that person’s heart—this is absolute true love.
Ou Qinglan and Song Yanan saw their joined hands, exchanged a glance, and smiled. Clearly, this cousin was very satisfied with Zhou Botong as a future brother-in-law.
"You don’t have to worry. This island is not volcanic, and that vibration just now didn’t feel like an earthquake," Ou Qinglan said. But she herself frowned slightly, as if pondering sothing.
Suddenly, as if by tacit understanding, everyone lifted their heads and looked at each other. Ou Qinglan’s face showed outright shock. "Could it be Aunt Wang and Lin Tian...?"
"This... this is way too exaggerated." Zhou Botong’s mouth hung open, drool almost dripping out.
"Very likely," Song Yanan said.
After reaching this consensus, the expressions on their faces grew even more stunned. They didn’t know where Lin Tian was fighting, but it was definitely far away, at least over by the sea. For the shockwave to travel all the way here—just how terrifying was their battle?
On the mountaintop, a figure stood, blue eyes gazing toward a certain point over the sea. Her figure was graceful and curvy, radiating infinite allure in the moonlight, yet her face exuded majesty. It was none other than Princess Charlotte.
"Master, your power grows stronger and stronger." Charlotte murmured softly to herself, no one knew what she was thinking.
Suddenly, a sound ca from behind. She glanced back to see three people coming up—one young man in front, two following behind. Charlotte automatically ignored the two in the rear; she only swept a glance at the one in front, then said nothing and continued looking out toward the sea.
"Master, there’s soone here..." a black-clad attendant whispered.
The young man waved a hand, cutting him off. He also stayed silent, chose a spot, and like Charlotte, looked in the sa direction.
They had just taken their positions when light footsteps sounded again from behind. This ti Charlotte didn’t even bother turning her head. The young man turned to look, and the newcor also saw him. The newcor froze, while the young man’s brows knit together.
"Mr. Xu Feibai, I didn’t expect to et you here." The newcor said with a fawning smile, extrely respectful.
The young man was Xu Feibai. Of course, he wasn’t actually young—he was already several hundred years old.
Xu Feibai still didn’t speak, but the black-clad attendant beside him, Yasuo, coldly demanded, "Heichuan Jianyi, my master told you not to interfere in our affairs again. What are you doing at Coastal Villa?"
Heichuan Jianyi feared Xu Feibai, but he wasn’t afraid of a re attendant. He looked at Yasuo, his gaze flashing. "I’m speaking to Mr. Xu Feibai. Since when does a servant get to butt in?"
"Jie-jie..." Yasuo let out a night-owl-like cackle, his pair of dead-fish eyes fixed on Heichuan Jianyi. "Just for that sentence alone, as long as my master permits it, you’ll end up a corpse. No—there won’t even be a corpse left, just a pile of feed."
As Yasuo finished speaking, he raised his right hand. His palm was deathly pale, like a corpse’s hand, and beneath the skin of his palm, a tiny bump was writhing.
The little bump suddenly broke through the flesh, half of its body poking out. Heichuan Jianyi saw it clearly—that was a black bug. So there was actually a parasite living beneath Yasuo’s skin. What was even stranger, when the bug broke through his flesh, the wound didn’t bleed at all.
The bug wriggled a few tis, then burrowed back under the skin, squird a few more tis, and vanished without a trace. Throughout the entire process, Yasuo seed completely unaware.
Heichuan Jianyi felt his scalp go numb. Suddenly, as if rembering sothing, he blurted out in shock, "Y-you’re Secret Master Yasuo!"
Yasuo’s face split into a grin, but the smile was eerie and terrifying. "At least you’ve got so knowledge."
"You killed so many people in Japan just to make experintal subjects. Your na has long been infamous." Heichuan Jianyi said with knitted brows, no one could tell whether fear or wariness weighed heavier in his voice.
As the two of them were speaking, another figure darted up—it was Li Wenfeng, who had rushed over in a hurry. Seeing so many people on the mountaintop, he was stunned as well.
After Li Wenfeng, several more people arrived, though none of them knew each other. Still, everyone tacitly kept their distance.
So quietly sized one another up, others looked out toward the sea. Charlotte was the most eye-catching figure on the mountaintop and naturally drew the most scrutiny, but the Princess acted as if she were above it all, not paying anyone the slightest attention.
"Master, who do you think caused that shockwave just now?" a companion next to Yasuo asked.
This was Xu Feibai’s other attendant. As he posed the question, the newcors all looked toward Xu Feibai as well, clearly wanting to know the answer.
