Chapter 386: Water Dragon's Roar, A Dilemma

Chapter 386: Water Dragon's Roar, A Dilemma

The battle commenced, and to quickly defeat their opponent, Hong Bing Wang directly summoned all his companion beasts.

The opponent, the seventh elder of the Black God Sect, Zha Kun, also summoned all five of his companion beasts.

Since the companion beasts' strengths were generally slightly higher than their opponents', Hong Bing Wang had been dominating Zha Kun since the start of the battle.

Even so, it was impossible to free his hands to support Li Qian and Sun Ruirui in a short time.

Although Zha Kun was no match for Hong Bing Wang, the strength gap was not significant, and he could still hold off one or two of them without any issues.

In this situation, Hong Bing Wang became increasingly anxious as he fought, and a bad premonition began to stir in his heart.

Inside the arena, the commotion was equally loud, with the sounds of various skill clashes and energy fluctuations constantly reverberating.

"Hang in there, you two," was all Hong Bing Wang could do at this point but pray.

Boom...

Rustle...

Just as Hong Bing Wang's heart was filled with anxiety, a terrifying sound of rushing water suddenly rose from within the arena.

The enormous commotion instantly caught the attention of the two combatants, and although their battle did not stop, their gazes unconsciously glanced over.

Boom!

The sound of rushing water became increasingly clear, and finally, a huge gap was torn open in one direction of the arena.

Terrifying torrents of water surged forth, overwhelming and unstoppable.

At the crest of the wave, a large and two smaller heads, all three entirely formed from the rushing water, appeared lifelike.

The two combatants were taken aback by this sight, as it was evident that neither of them had anticipated such a situation.

After the initial shock, Zha Kun's heart skipped a beat as he saw his two subordinates, who had broken through earlier, and a young man in a guard uniform being swept away by the terrifying water flow.

The water continued to rise, and another giant wave emerged, and at the crest, a petite girl stood steadily.

Beside the girl, three Tidal Sea Spirits stood like guards, protecting her in the center.

The girl standing atop the wave was none other than Sun Ruirui, and her gaze was as cold as ice as she stared at the three people and seven beasts within the water flow.

"Water Dragon's Roar!" Sun Ruirui stared ahead, her eyes cold, and a detached voice escaped her lips.

As her voice fell, the water once again raged like a breached river.

Within the water, one large and two smaller figures, three water dragons soared into the sky, reaching a height of twenty to thirty meters, and then wildly rushed downward.

Hong Bing Wang even saw that under the onslaught of these raging water dragons, the hard concrete blocks were instantly ground into powder.

The terrifying power of this skill was evident.

"Overlord Rank!" As the "Water Dragon's Roar" was unleashed, its ferocious might drew everyone's attention, and Zha Kun, upon witnessing this, exclaimed in astonishment.

The Overlord Rank was not that impressive, as no one below this rank could even participate in this battle. However, judging by the girl's age, she was likely a freshman this year.

For a freshman to possess the strength of an Overlord, it was indeed terrifying. Moreover, judging by the power of the "Water Dragon's Roar" just now, it was far beyond that of an ordinary newly ascended Overlord.

If allowed to grow, she would undoubtedly become a Holy Spirit Rank powerhouse in the future, and even a legendary giant, was not out of the question.

Therefore, Zha Kun was startled, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

In reality, he was well aware that this was no longer just a premonition but a fact: his people, including the insider, had been directly killed by such a terrifying water flow.

Unexpectedly, an unexpected event occurred, as a new factor emerged, and the girl standing atop the wave became the deciding factor in the battle.

"Hahaha..." Hong Bing Wang turned to Sun Ruirui, standing tall amidst the waves, and burst into laughter, "Truly, the young shall rise, the young shall rise!"

"Zha Kun, no matter how meticulously you plan or calculate, in the face of the grand scheme, it only adds to the comedy."

Hearing these words, Zha Kun scoffed and dismissively said, "What grand scheme? It's just a move away from checkmate, not anticipating this little girl."

Hong Bing Wang's attacks intensified, and his words were equally relentless, "You didn't anticipate, hmph, there's much you didn't foresee."

"My Dongxia Federation is brimming with talent, and the land is filled with exceptional individuals. The depth of our heritage is beyond your comprehension."

While attacking, Hong Bing Wang used his words to disrupt Zha Kun's mind, and it had some effect, but not much. In truth, at this point, he already had thoughts of retreat.

The original objective of the operation was now impossible to achieve, and staying here any longer would only lead to their demise.

"Ghost Witch, Venomous Bomb!" After some consideration, Zha Kun immediately ordered his companion beasts to unleash their ultimate skills.

The shriveled body of the Ghost Witch, resembling that of a frail old man, suddenly inflated and swelled with energy, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations.

"Ice Heart Shield!" Upon seeing this, Hong Bing Wang immediately commanded his companion beasts to use their defensive skills, and at the same time, he shouted, "Quickly use your protective skills!"

"Water Curtain Splendor!" Sun Ruirui, standing atop the wave, heard Hong Bing Wang's reminder and, without hesitation, ordered her companion beasts to use their protective skills.

Jin Yu took the lead, and the two newly ascended Tidal Sea Spirits beside her immediately followed with the "Water Curtain Splendor"!

Three Water Curtain Splendors rose one after another, directly shielding Sun Ruirui.

Boom!

The terrifying energy wave exploded, creating a deafening roar.

Within the roar, purple-black mist instantly dispersed.

The mist collided with a deep blue energy shield, and on the three layers of the blue water curtain, the deep blue energy shield instantly twisted, emitting crackling sounds of corrosion. Two layers of the water curtain shattered, leaving only one layer barely hanging on.

Fortunately, it was a three-layer "Water Curtain Splendor"; the consequences of two layers would have been unimaginable.

As the purple mist dissipated, the scene revealed no trace of Zha Kun, only Hong Bing Wang, whose deep blue light had faded, and Sun Ruirui behind the water curtain.

As for the three opponents who were killed by the water flow, they were already gasping for breath, now enveloped by the purple mist, and at this point, they had breathed their last.

Zha Kun didn't even bother to check on the two subordinates and the insider; perhaps, his use of this skill was also intended to silence them.

"Thank you, young lady, but where are the others?" Hong Bing Wang scanned the area, realizing that Zha Kun had completely left, and his gaze turned to Sun Ruirui.

"Those three unlucky souls..." Sun Ruirui pointed inside the arena, wiped her forehead, took a deep breath, and calmly replied.

Upon hearing these words, Hong Bing's face turned slightly embarrassed. After all, those three unlucky fellows were his subordinates.

They had fallen for the enemy's trap and nearly suffered a devastating defeat. If not for Sun Ruirui's timely evolution and her opening of the breeding chamber, they would have been finished.

"I'll go and check," Hong Bing said, feeling a bit awkward, and quickly walked over. Before long, he fished out three unconscious subordinates from the water.

Seeing this, Sun Ruirui scratched her head and gave an embarrassed smile. The three pet beasts simultaneously unleashed the 'Water Dragon Roar', and the power was slightly excessive. She couldn't control it, and it slightly affected the three unlucky fellows.

Compared to them being finished off, the current situation was already much better; they had just swallowed a bit more water.

Hong Bing retrieved the three unlucky fellows and leaped out of the hall, quickly dropping them onto a flat ground before... returning in a dignified manner.

Sun Ruirui's lips twitched at the sight, "Governor, is this how you're going to handle them?"

"It's fine!" Hong Bing said as he walked, "I've already called for help, and the rescue vehicle will be here soon."

"As Overlord-level Beastmasters, their physical qualities are generally good, so they won't die within a short time!"

Hearing this, Sun Ruirui immediately closed her mouth, deciding not to say more. As the leader, if he had made such arrangements, she shouldn't worry.

"By the way, where's Li Qian?" Hong Bing returned to the hall, looking anxious, and asked.

Sun Ruirui pointed to a breeding chamber where water stains remained, "He's inside. It's not a big deal. I think something's wrong."

This time, it was Hong Bing's turn to feel his lips twitch. The enemy had already launched an assassination attempt, and it was still 'not a big deal' according to her. By her standards, what would constitute a big deal?

Additionally, as someone who had experienced similar situations, Hong Bing noticed something unusual in the girl's eyes and instantly understood some things.

He could only sigh, "Youth is indeed wonderful!"

"As for the next step..." He scanned the surroundings and hesitated before finally speaking.

Sun Ruirui understood his intention and shook her head, interrupting him, "Let's continue. I checked, and most of the breeding chambers are still intact."

"I believe Li Qian is thinking the same!"

As Sun Ruirui spoke, she pointed to a breeding chamber not far ahead. The moment her words landed, the breeding chamber suddenly opened.

A towering pillar of evolution light soared into the sky, blindingly bright. Amidst the evolution light, a figure emerged, thin but standing tall—it was Li Qian!

Li Qian walked out calmly, surveying the surroundings with a strange expression, "I was only gone for ten minutes, how did this place turn into such a mess? Is there a war going on?"

In fact, even inside the breeding chamber, he could sense the commotion and roughly guess what had happened.

However, since the attacks never landed on his breeding chamber, he chose to ignore it as if nothing had happened.

"Sorry, Li Qian, this is what happened..." Hong Bing approached with a hint of shame, briefly explaining the cause and effect of the incident.

After listening to Hong Bing's account, Li Qian fell silent. He had previously said that this place was definitely safe.

It turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy! He had indeed encountered a problem. If not for Sun Ruirui's intervention, the attack would have landed on his breeding chamber.

"Stay here! It's fine... er... there's no need to change places!" Li Qian looked around, intending to say it was a good place, but after seeing the condition, he decided to retract his words. This place was now like a muddy pit, not at all 'good'.

However, as long as the breeding chamber was fine, it wouldn't affect the subsequent work, so Li Qian felt there was no need to bother with changing locations.

"Okay, from now on, I assure you that this place will definitely not have any problems. If there are any issues..." Hong Bing saw that both Li Qian and Sun Ruirui insisted on not changing locations, so he didn't say more. His eyes were determined as he made this promise.

But before he could finish, Li Qian interrupted him, "Governor, let's not say more. Some things are better left unsaid..."

Upon hearing this, Hong Bing's face turned slightly red. Earlier, he had confidently claimed that this place would definitely be safe.

Well... let's not talk about it... just in case something happens, there might be some room for maneuver.

But he couldn't help feeling a bit uncomfortable inside. From the situation, it was clear that the two youngsters didn't trust him.

After this not-so-minor interlude, work resumed. At this moment, Li Qian felt like he had transformed into the beast of burden from his past life.

He was just an emotionless evolution machine.

Meanwhile, in the Governor's Mansion, just as Sage Wen was starting to relax and feel that things were improving, a terrible piece of news suddenly arrived.

"What? The Crown Prince of Linas Kingdom and the son of the Chief Executive of the Dongxia Federation are trapped in Tiger Gorge, and there are traces of a Legendary Beastmaster. The guards of the Crown Prince and Li's son have all been injured." Upon hearing this news, Sage Wen felt like his head was about to explode.

After a moment of silent thought, he took out his phone and dialed a secret number.

The call connected, and Wen Ze Bin composed himself before speaking, "Teacher Lu, I have an emergency and need your help!"

"What's the matter?" A lazy voice sounded from the other end of the call.

"The Crown Prince of Linas Kingdom and the son of our Dongxia Federation's Chief Executive are trapped in Tiger Gorge, and there are signs of a Legendary Beastmaster. I hope Teacher Lu can go and rescue them!" Wen Ze Bin didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

On the other end of the call, the voice known as 'Teacher Lu' went silent upon hearing this.

After a moment, 'Teacher Lu' spoke, "Little Mosquito, I'll go. Don't forget that the giant creature beneath the city hasn't completely perished and is still stirring." 'Teacher Lu's' voice was no longer lazy; his tone had turned serious.

Hearing 'Teacher Lu's' reminder, Wen Ze Bin's brows furrowed, and finally, he sighed helplessly, "Teacher Lu, I know your importance to Mo Yuan City, but both the Crown Prince of Linas Kingdom and the son of our Dongxia Federation's Chief Executive cannot afford to have any accidents!"
