Chapter 114 Going Against the Current (Skip if you don't like it)

"Help!"

Cries for help echoed across the beach.

"Those who can swim, come with me to rescue people. Be careful to protect yourselves and act within your capabilities!"

Zhao Rui shouted and, with lightning speed, darted towards the beach.

Qin Rui and the others used their lightness skills to follow closely behind.

The martial arts team had only three members left, all of whom were not good swimmers, and they hesitated for a moment.

"Hey, senior brothers and sisters, don't look at me, I'm afraid of water!"

Cai Zhengyang scratched his head sheepishly.

"We're not looking at you, look behind you!"

One of the senior students who stayed behind pointed behind him and said with a look of horror.

Upon hearing this, Cai Zhengyang turned around and looked back, his eyes immediately filled with horror.

"Oh no! Something terrible has happened!"

Cai Zhengyang quickly channeled his inner strength and shouted towards Zhao Rui and the others who were rushing away in the distance:
"Zhao Rui, come back quickly! There are huge waves behind us!"

"Come back quickly!"

The other two also realized what was happening and hurriedly shouted.

Hearing the commotion, the others stopped and glanced into the distance before hurriedly retreating in fright.

At the same time, he continued to shout at the others to stop.

"Holy crap, you're messing with me!"

Zhao Rui naturally heard the sound, but he was too fast and was already almost at the beach.

Following closely behind were Shen Xinzhu, Luo Min, and Wang Dalong.

They were the most skilled and had exceptional agility; at this moment, they were only a few dozen meters away from Zhao Rui.

"Go back now! All of you fucking go back!"

Zhao Rui panicked. Even doing good deeds has its limits. He was a grandmaster with internal energy, so he wasn't afraid of being swept away by the giant waves.

But they can't.

Upon hearing Zhao Rui's shout, Qin Rui and the others behind her stopped in their tracks, looked at the giant wave in alarm, and retreated rapidly.

However, Shen Xinzhu and the others were too fast; they arrived in front of him before they could even finish speaking.

"Charge to the beach!"

The waves came fast, like a dark cloud covering the sky, rushing towards them. Some tourists who couldn't escape were swept into the waves like dumplings in a pot.

As Zhao Rui spoke, he casually tucked a beautiful young woman and her little boy into his arms.

Shen Xinzhu and the other two followed suit, grabbing any ordinary people they could reach and rushing towards the top of the beach, where the terrain was higher and there was a dike, which could hold off the first wave.

"Ah, ah!"

The woman, whose arm was being pulled by Shen Xinzhu, screamed in fright.

"Snapped!"

He had barely shouted twice when he was slapped across the face.

The shouting stopped abruptly.

Shen Xinzhu is no saint; the fact that she could save you is already a miracle, a sign of divine intervention.

The group moved quickly, and the waves came quickly as well.

As soon as everyone jumped onto the embankment paved with bluestone and cement, the first wave of giant waves crashed against the rocks.

They dared not relax, for the real wave behind them was five or six meters high, a sight that sent shivers down their spines.

Waves of this magnitude are beyond the capacity of ordinary coastal dikes to withstand.

The group continued running, with huge waves following closely behind. Vehicles and other debris on the shore were tossed about and swayed like duckweed in the water.

It was submerged by seawater in no time.

Large numbers of tourists ran frantically towards the distance.

Zhao Rui glanced around; the people fleeing for their lives were densely packed, like ants.

His heart trembled involuntarily.

Human strength has its limits; what is a little martial arts skill compared to the mighty power of heaven and earth?
He risked his life, but how many people could he save?
This was not the time to let his mind wander. Zhao Rui quickened his pace and leaped onto a five- or six-story hotel building not far away, where he casually put the woman and child down.

"You're not allowed to go! Stay here!"

Seeing Shen Xinzhu and the other two follow him, he gave them a stern instruction and then went back down from the hotel to search for other slow-moving children and elderly people.

Shen Xinzhu watched his departing figure, her eyes flickered, and suddenly she jumped off the hotel rooftop to catch up with Zhao Rui.

"What are you doing here? This is ridiculous!"

Zhao Rui was surprised by her arrival and scolded her. As he spoke, he grabbed the four children and ran back.

"I know it!"

Shen Xinzhu said coldly, and also rescued the four little brats.

Seeing the two of them doing this, Wang Dalong and his companion upstairs did not sit idly by. Instead, they quickly moved the slow-moving people nearby to the rooftop.

Besides them, several martial arts practitioners who came to visit were also doing the same thing.

In the face of great disasters, there are always people who go against the tide. Perhaps they seem foolish in the face of current values, but there are always things that people will do.

After only two such runs, the giant wave followed, sweeping away everything in its path and crashing towards the hotel building.

Zhao Rui was carrying two children and running frantically toward the hotel.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Luo Min and Wang Dalong, who were on the rooftop, shouted nervously at Zhao Rui.

Fortunately, Zhao Rui possessed exceptional lightness skills. At the last moment, he generated power from the void, his body rising several meters higher. Stepping on the decorations on the building's surface, he leaped several times and suddenly soared onto the high-rise building.

After putting the child down, Zhao Rui looked around and asked in surprise, "Where is Shen Xinzhu?"

"We were just on the roof!"

Luo Min was stunned; Shen Xinzhu had just carried the two children to the rooftop.

Did she go down again?

Zhao Rui immediately became anxious and quickly stood on the ledge to look into the water. Suddenly, he saw a figure floating beside a wooden plank in the distance, drifting towards them.

Zhao Rui looked closely and realized it was none other than Shen Xinzhu.

He quickly turned to Luo Min and the other person and said, "Don't move around. Quickly contact the others and make sure they're safe. I'm going to rescue them."

After saying that, Zhao Rui handed his phone to Wang Dalong, casually tore off a piece of advertising board from the edge of the building, smashed it into several pieces with one palm, and then threw them out one by one.

The fragments transformed into a long rainbow, flying rapidly into the distance.

He swayed and quickly caught up with one of the rocks, using the momentum to leap into the air. He circulated his true energy throughout his body and rushed towards Shen Xinzhu.

This technique of borrowing power from the void astonished Wang Dalong and the others, not to mention other ordinary people.

Everyone gasped in surprise.

Some of the trembling rescued children now had a new understanding of the word "superhero."

Unfortunately, this carefree attitude didn't last long. When the last plank hit the ground, he could only plunge headfirst into the sea below.

However, he was already quite close to Shen Xinzhu by then, and after entering the water, he quickly swam towards her.

When he got close, he surfaced and looked at the girl with wet hair and a flawless face. Seeing that she was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you alright? You can't swim, yet you're still showing off like this."

Zhao Rui wiped the seawater off his face and let out a long sigh.

"I'm fine. There was an undercurrent in the water, and I wasn't paying attention. I got swept away by a wave. Although I can't swim, I can hold my breath!"

A faint smile appeared on Shen Xinzhu's beautiful lips; she was clearly in a very good mood upon seeing Zhao Rui arrive.

"Swim towards the building first!"

Zhao Rui didn't expect her to still be in the mood for jokes. After he finished speaking, he and Shen Xinzhu each took one side of the plank and swam towards the hotel.

But after swimming for only a short while, a third wave surged in.

This wave was even higher than the last one, and it slammed the two of them, along with the plank, into the sea.

Zhao Rui quickly held his breath, adjusted his internal energy, and moved his hands around, chasing after Shen Xinzhu.

The girl could only hold her breath, flail her arms and legs, float in the water, and dart around aimlessly; she clearly didn't know how to swim.

Zhao Rui quickly swam over, grabbed one of her hands, and swam upwards.

Soon the two reached the sea. Shen Xinzhu spat out a mouthful of seawater, spat twice, and gasped for breath.

"Get ashore quickly, don't drag us!"

After saying that, Zhao Rui grabbed her arm and swam forward without saying another word.

"Let me hold you around the waist, otherwise you won't be able to exert any strength!"

Shen Xinzhu was, after all, a martial artist. Now that she was out of the water, she was not as helpless as an ordinary person who had fallen into the water.

"Ok!"

Zhao Rui responded.

Shen Xinzhu then reached out her right hand and grabbed Zhao Rui's waist, her voluptuous figure pressed tightly against his waist as she swam forward quickly with him.

With his hands free, Zhao Rui's speed increased significantly, and he arrived downstairs in no time.

Luo Min and Wang Dalong quickly threw down the rope provided by the hotel and pulled the two of them up.

Once they reached the rooftop, Zhao Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He took off his shirt and wrung out the water from it.

"Go to the hotel and change your clothes!"

Luo Min glanced at the two of them, especially at the soaking wet Shen Xinzhu, and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

So big, so firm!
So long, so straight!
Despite always considering herself beautiful, she couldn't help but feel saddened by the comparison.

I'll buy more papayas to eat later!
Upon hearing Luo Min's words, Zhao Rui couldn't help but glance at Shen Xinzhu. The girl's wet clothes clearly revealed her underwear.

It is indeed somewhat indecent.

He quickly handed the T-shirt to Shen Xinzhu and asked Luo Min to take her to change her clothes.

After the two left, Zhao Rui asked Wang Dalong, "Are they alright?"

"Everything's fine. Here's your phone. Qin Rui and the others just called and said everyone is taking refuge in a nearby residential building. Coach Wang also called."

Wang Dalong took his phone out of his pocket and handed it to Zhao Rui.

"Ok!"

Zhao Rui nodded, took the phone, and called Qin Rui and the others to let them know he was safe.

After making the call, he called Wang Zhanshan back.

Hearing that Zhao Rui and the other two were also unharmed, Wang Zhanshan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you're alright. You wait for the imperial court's rescue. The exchange meeting has been canceled, and you may have to participate in disaster relief in the next few days!"

"Um, Coach, what's going on?"

"I don't know! There's been no concrete news from the imperial court yet; it's a bit sudden."

"Oh!"

Zhao Rui hung up the phone, looked up at the giant waves surging in the distance, and said, "It's so sudden, there must be some kind of earthquake or something in the sea."

"There are videos of the flooding all over the phone; I estimate a lot of people will die."

Wang Dalong said with a sense of sympathy.

In the darkness of night, the waves rolled in like a colossal beast that swallowed the sky, and no one knew how many people had perished in them.

After spending some time on the rooftop, the two went down the stairs.

The hotel opened up some rooms and accommodated them.

The downstairs was flooded, so all the staff were moved to the third floor or above.

　The so-called spiritual revival, along with demonic cults and the like, is not meant to turn into a cultivation novel.

　　Please don't misunderstand.

　　"Wind and Cloud" was the first truly high-level martial arts TV series I ever watched. The visuals were stunning.

　　As for books, they are those by Mr. Huang.

　　The one I remember most is Star Trek, I wonder if anyone else knows him.

　　I simply used the concept of spiritual energy revival to transform the entire world's high-level martial arts events.
