Viviani's heart was filled with despair because she had no energy left in her body. The Holy Light Blood Art was a forbidden technique that could harm her. Not to mention other aspects, just the fact that she couldn't use her power for the next three days was enough. In such a situation where she didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken, let alone these experts from Savage Mammoth, even an ordinary person could easily kill her.
After being abandoned on the deck of the cargo ship, Viviani saw Wang Rui, whose face was livid and full of hatred. He stood next to the Qingcheng Mountain old man at the moment and didn't speak for a long time. A sad but beautiful smile bloomed on Viviani's face. Her lips trembled as she mouthed, "Thank you."
"Bastard!"
Wang Rui clenched his fists. This was the second time he felt powerless. The first time was when he was defeated by Tan Xiu's men in Saipan.
A cold and indifferent expression could be seen on the Qingcheng Mountain old man's face. He glanced at Wang Rui and lightly said, "I've seen your impulsiveness and immaturity since I came out with you this time. I'll definitely report this to your grandpa after we go back. As for how he punishes you, it's not up to me. "
Wang Rui suddenly turned his head with anger flashing in his eyes as he questioned in a deep voice, "You obviously could have saved her. Why did you give up? I told you, she's my friend. "
"There's no such thing as an absolute friend in this world." The Qingcheng Mountain old man sneered. "I can only choose self-preservation when it comes to protecting my friends. I can indeed kill that old geezer if I use my trump card, but I'll lose my reliance after using it. Hence, I have no obligation to help your friend who has nothing to do with me. It's enough as long as you don't die. "
Was it enough?
Wang Rui's face was burning. He recalled the words he said before and how he stopped Viviani from staying on the liner to rest. To put it bluntly, he was the one who harmed Viviani. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been caught by Savage Mammoth's men and wouldn't have been captured if she had left directly.
"I can't accept this!"
Said Wang Rui hatefully.
The old man from Qingcheng Mountain sneered and said, "If you don't want to accept it, then put away your thoughts of eating, drinking, and having fun in the future. Just stay in seclusion and cultivate in the mountains. Although you are known as the most outstanding genius of our Qingcheng Mountain in the past hundred years, if you continue to fool around like this, other young people will definitely surpass you, step on your head, and may even become the successor of our Qingcheng Mountain in the future. "
If it was in the past, Wang Rui would definitely disdain the old man's words and think that he had done a very good job. After all, a Martial Dao Grand Master who was less than 30 years old was definitely a first-class master. If he was given another eight to ten years, he was confident that he could break through the barrier of Martial Dao Grandmaster and reach a higher level.
But now …
His pride had been brutally shattered, and his arrogance had vanished into thin air. In fact, the cruel reality told him that even if he reached a higher level in the future, he still wouldn't be invincible. There were still many experts in this world.
"Hmm? What's that? "
The expression of the old man from Qingcheng Mountain suddenly changed and he looked up at the cargo ship that was gradually disappearing. He could vaguely see that hundreds of meters above the cargo ship, bolts of lightning were faintly discernible, and a layer of light blue watery light was rippling in the air.
Wang Rui followed his gaze and was stunned. His eyes were filled with shock. The lightning bolts quickly became clearer, and the pale blue watery light was like falling from the sky, constantly magnifying in his eyes.
At this moment …
The silver-haired old man on the cargo ship also noticed the abnormality in the sky. His expression turned incomparably solemn, and the scales that had yet to recede erected one by one, ready to fight.
"BOOM …"
Tens of thousands of lightning bolts gradually formed as thick as an arm. These lightning bolts shuttled back and forth in the watery blue light curtain, sometimes merging and sometimes separating. The thunder in the sky became louder and more deafening. It was like the doomsday in this area, making people panic.
"Crack …"
A lightning bolt suddenly broke through the blue light curtain and struck down from a height of 100 to 200 meters, directly killing a black-robed man on the cargo ship.
"Watch out! Dodge!"
The silver-haired old man was horrified and cried out involuntarily. Although he shouted, his mind was as clear as a mirror. The lightning was too powerful and too fast. Even he was not sure if he could dodge it, let alone his men.
"Crack …"
"Crack …"
"…"
Lightning bolts constantly broke free from the watery blue light curtain. These lightning bolts seemed to have eyes, and every time they struck down, they would accurately hit a member of Savage Mammoth. In just a dozen breaths, more than 30 experts of Savage Mammoth had died tragically in the lightning attack.
"What's going on?"
The silver-haired old man's heart was filled with fear. Had it not been for his poor swimming skills, he might have jumped into the sea to escape. This lightning bolt was too strange. It didn't strike anywhere else, and it didn't attack anything else, but his men. It was simply a targeted attack.
However …
No one answered his question. Out of his dozens of subordinates, only a dozen or so were still alive. Most importantly, all of them had retreated to the cabin, leaving only Viviani, who was lying limply on the deck.
Lightning still kept striking down. This time, the target was the top of the cargo ship's cabin. The lightning was very powerful, and the thick top was constantly being struck and even directly pierced through. In the end, the power of the fishing boat was destroyed, and a large amount of seawater poured in, causing the entire cargo ship to sink.
A kilometer away.
Standing on the bow of the liner, the Qingcheng Mountain old man, Wang Rui, and his few remaining men were all dumbfounded and tongue-tied at the sight of the tragic state of the fishing boat.
"Is this the wrath of the Heavens that the Savage Mammoth's members have done?" Wang Rui's lips squirmed as he muttered to himself.
The Qingcheng Mountain old man slowly came to his senses. He deeply frowned and shook his head. "Something's not right. This isn't the wrath of the Heavens. It's more like a Celestial Being is targeting those mutants."
"Is this even possible …"
Before Wang Rui could finish his words, it was as though his throat was suddenly blocked by a sponge. He clearly saw two figures falling from the sky and directly landing on the deck of the fishing boat.
It's him?
Wang Rui's eyes were fixated on a familiar voice, and disbelief filled his eyes.
The moment Tan Xiu's feet landed on the deck, he smiled and circled around the silver-haired old man twice. He looked at the silver-haired old man's eyes that were wide open and full of fear. He raised his hand to touch his chin and said, "What an interesting mutant. He used the genes of wild beasts to transform himself, giving himself the abilities of wild beasts for a short time to enhance his own strength. Unfortunately, the human's life chain was destroyed, and his potential was overexerted, ultimately causing him to lose an important foundation for his progress. "
The silver-haired old man wanted to move, but a terrifying mountain-like force directly imprisoned him. Even if he exerted all his strength, he still couldn't move. He couldn't even lift his little finger. He wanted to speak, but his mouth seemed to be sewn and his throat was blocked. He couldn't even utter a sound.
Fear.
It was like a viper trying to grab his heart, making him feel as though he had fallen into an ice cave.
Tan Xiu shook his head. He turned around and walked toward Viviani, who was struggling to get up. He reached out to support her and squatted on the deck to let her lean on him. Then, he lightly smiled and said, "I'm really curious. What did you do to deserve such an unscrupulous pursuit?"
A trace of vitality finally appeared in Viviani's deathly gray eyes. She felt as though she was dreaming. She could feel Tan Xiu's hand supporting her and looked at the face that had been popping up in her mind countless times recently. She thought that she would never see Tan Xiu again in this life, and she even felt a deep regret deep inside.
But …
Now, he unexpectedly appeared in front of her alive. Even the horrifying scene just now seemed to be related to him.
"You …"
Viviani's voice was a bit hoarse. She didn't know what to say for a moment.
"You didn't expect that I would suddenly appear here, did you?" Tan Xiu lightly smiled. "Did you see the hope of survival?"
"Yes!"
Viviani indeed saw the hope. In her eyes, Tan Xiu was an unfathomable person. Back when she was in Jingmen Island, he didn't seem to have a very strong power. But now that she saw him again, she could deeply feel the unfathomable feeling from him.
"Since you can see the hope of survival, then live well in the future!" Tan Xiu smilingly said. "Living is the most real thing."
Viviani took a deep breath to suppress her surging emotions. Then, she seriously asked, "How did you appear here? Those lightning bolts just now … were you the one who made them? "
"Do you think I have that kind of ability?" Tan Xiu lightly smiled.
"I don't know." Viviani shook her head.
"Well, then don't ask since you don't know." Tan Xiu chuckled. "I just happened to see you being chased. Considering that we're old acquaintances, I helped you. You haven't answered my question yet. What did you do? Why did they chase you with such great fanfare? "
Viviani suddenly smiled. The vitality in her eyes grew more intense, and the smile on her face turned brighter. It was as though she had thought of something worth celebrating. She spoke with a cheerful tone, "I've killed my enemies, and a few of them as well. They were the ones who set up all kinds of traps behind my back and killed my loved ones one after another. "
"Not bad!" Tan Xiu gave a thumbs up and praised.
Viviani's fair face blushed and she said with an embarrassed expression, "But the last one was from Savage Mammoth. They chased me after they found me. I've been running for more than half a month, yet they still caught up with me here. In the beginning, the people sent by Savage Mammoth to kill me were very weak. I killed a lot of them. I don't remember the exact number, but it should be around 100 or 200 people! But the more time passed, the stronger the people chasing me became. Fortunately, you arrived in time to save me, else I would've been killed by them. "
