Chapter 170 This young man, you have the bearing of Prince Xiao!
The rain poured down, and the horizon was a suffocating gray.
The Blazing Flame cut through the giant waves, just like a steel behemoth racing at full speed through a storm.
Just then.
"Splash—!!"
Without warning, two jets of black water shot into the sky a kilometer directly in front of the warship.
As the splash subsided, two humanoid figures were eerily suspended above the turbulent sea.
They weren't stepping on any floating objects, yet they felt as if they were walking on flat ground.
When the torrential rain reached just three inches above their heads, it seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, automatically sliding off to the sides, leaving them completely dry!
A terrifying pressure originating from the level of life instantly enveloped the entire Blaze.
"Splash splash splash splash—!"
A screeching sound of sliding iron chains rang out as the Flame's massive anchor was urgently dropped. The steel chains taut and straightened, and the ship slid sideways for dozens of meters due to inertia, coming to a stop just a few hundred meters in front of the two men.
on the deck.
Lu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back. He had already changed out of his blood-stained coat and was now wearing a black combat uniform. His figure was as straight as a spear.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Several whooshing sounds rang out.
Zhou Hai, Su Li, and that scoundrel Li Han rushed to Lu Sheng's side immediately.
"What...what the hell is this?!"
As soon as Zhou Hai stood still, his fleshy face turned deathly pale.
As a Level 5 Spirit Source User, his perception is much sharper than that of ordinary people.
In his perception, the two seemingly frail figures ahead were like two deep-sea volcanoes that could erupt at any moment!
The sense of oppression was several times stronger than that of the two level 7 monsters before!
"Level 8..."
Su Li's voice was hoarse: "They are definitely level 8 experts! And... there are two of them!"
Upon hearing this, Li Han's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the deck.
Five level 7 monsters had already given them a hard time, and now two level 8 monsters have appeared?
What the hell are you doing running?!
Let's just start the feast right away!
"Master Lu...Master Lu..."
Li Han's teeth chattered, his voice trembling with tears: "We...we have HQ missiles on our ship, right? Let's bomb them! At this range, a saturation attack will definitely kill them!"
Upon hearing this, a ruthless glint flashed in Zhou Hai's eyes: "That's right! Kid Lu, strike first! I'll take control of the fire control radar and empty the entire stockpile. I refuse to believe we can't blow these two bastards to pieces!"
As he spoke, Zhou Hai was about to rush into the fire control room.
"etc."
A calm, light voice rang out.
Lu Sheng did not turn around, but simply raised his hand slightly to stop the crowd's agitation.
"it's useless."
Lu Sheng looked at the two figures in front of him, his golden vertical pupils showing no emotion, as if he were stating an objective fact.
"Those who drown at level 8 can reach underwater speeds exceeding 200 meters per second, and their reflexes are dozens of times faster than those of an average person."
"Missile launch requires locking, ignition, and acceleration."
"That's enough time for them to dive into the deep sea to hide, or to rush up and dismantle the launch pad."
Lu Sheng turned around, his gaze sweeping over the despairing faces of the crowd, a cold smile curving his lips.
"For an expert of this level, conventional firearms..."
"It's meaningless except for making a sound."
After saying that, Lu Sheng ignored everyone and turned to walk towards the ship's railing.
"Lu boy! What are you doing?!" Zhou Hai exclaimed in surprise.
"They're after me."
Lu Sheng lightly touched the deck with his toes.
"call--"
He floated lightly over the fence like a weightless leaf.
Amidst everyone's horrified gazes, Lu Sheng landed steadily on the undulating sea surface.
Not even a ripple was stirred beneath their feet.
With his hands in his pockets, he walked step by step towards the two level 8 experts, riding the waves.
One man confronts two ruthless individuals.
In terms of momentum, they were not at all inferior!
In the distance, the command center of the Zhenyuan.
Zhang Yi's hands, which were holding the binoculars, were trembling violently. The two black auras rising into the sky in the lens made him feel suffocated.
"Major Qin...this...this is the pursuer Major Lu was talking about?"
Qin Yue stared intently at the energy readings on the screen, her face so grave it was almost dripping with tears.
"Energy reaction... far exceeds level 7."
"He is a legendary level 8 expert."
Lin Hu, gripping his thunder halberd tightly, was startled and asked, "Should we provide support?"
"support?"
Qin Yue gave a wry smile and pointed at Lu Sheng's lonely yet domineering back on the screen.
"In a battle of this level, our presence would only cause trouble."
"Now, besides believing him..."
"We have no other choice."
On the sea, the wind is strong and the waves are high.
Tian Zuo and Tian You stood side by side, their dead fish-like eyes gleaming with a ghostly green light as they looked Lu Sheng up and down as he rode the waves.
"what?"
Tian You sniffed, as if he had smelled something extremely tempting, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Big brother, can you smell it?"
"This kid's aura... is a bit off."
Tian You grinned, revealing a set of jagged, sharp teeth, his voice filled with disbelief: "Just a few hours ago, Tian Zhen said he was still a Level 6."
"But right now... the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from him have clearly reached level 7!"
"Moreover, this fluctuation is extremely violent, clearly indicating a recent breakthrough that hasn't had time to fully settle!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Zuo, whose face had been gloomy, suddenly had a glint of light in his eyes.
"A breakthrough in the heat of battle?"
Tian Zuo narrowed his eyes, and the greed in his sinister eyes grew even stronger.
"Second brother, think about it."
"Humans, these lowly land creatures, cultivate as slowly as turtles on the ocean where spiritual energy is scarce."
"But this kid..."
Tian Zuo stretched out his withered finger and pointed at Lu Sheng from a distance: "He has broken through several major realms in a short period of time, and his foundation is terrifyingly solid."
"Even the geniuses of our Drowned Clan couldn't achieve this in the rich spiritual environment of the deep sea!"
At this point, Tian Zuo paused, lowered his voice, and his tone revealed an undisguised fervor.
"Do you still remember Prince Xiao of Burning Sea City?"
Tian You was startled: "You mean... that rumor?"
"That's right!"
Tian Zuo licked his lips: "Legend has it that King Xiao was just an ordinary drowned person before. It was only because he accidentally entered an ancient deep-sea ruin that he obtained a heaven-defying inheritance and treasures, which allowed him to break through to level 10 of the drowned person and become the ruler of the region in just a few months!"
"This kid's situation is so similar to that of Prince Xiao!"
This line of reasoning is logically sound and reasonable.
Tian You's breathing instantly became heavy, and the way he looked at Lu Sheng was no longer that of looking at a dead man.
Instead, it's about witnessing a journey of opportunity!
A mobile treasure trove that can change the fate of the two brothers!
"Big brother! You mean...?"
"This kid definitely has a huge secret! He might even possess a priceless treasure from an ancient ruin!"
Tian Zuo communicated rapidly in the obscure and difficult-to-understand language of the Drowned Tribe: "When you make your move, don't kill them outright!"
"Cripple his limbs, but leave him barely alive!"
"Let's find a deserted island and extract his secrets bit by bit!"
"This is worth ten thousand times more than those three sea-soul herbs!!"
"Okay! I'll listen to you, big brother!" Tian You trembled with excitement, as if he could already see himself advancing to level 10 Drowned and dominating the deep sea.
