Gao Wu: I became the minor villain that the protagonist was about to destroy.

"You dare!!!"

Lin Yue mustered all his strength and lunged fiercely in the direction the shadow had gone. From within the shadow, dozens of black arms surged toward Lin Yue, but the moment they got close, they were instantly burned to ashes by the Yang Fire.

Lin Yue leaped forward, his right foot gathering Yang Fire, and stomped towards the black shadow. The black shadow gathered Shadow Power, forming a Shadow Shield.

A loud "BOOM!!" was heard, followed by a violent explosion, and smoke filled the air.

Lin Yue swung his right hand sharply, dispelling the smoke, but the dark figure had already vanished without a trace.

"Damn it!!!"

Seeing this, Baki's expression became extremely solemn, and his fierce gaze swept towards Lei Shi. Upon seeing this, Lei Shi immediately felt as if he was facing a prehistoric behemoth.

Lin Yue glared at another man in black and roared, "Where is Chu Yu?!"

The man in black also looked puzzled; there was someone else involved besides them.

Before the man in black could speak, Lin Yue charged towards him. Facing the oncoming heatwave, the man in black deployed his Vajra Shield, but Lin Yue was already in front of him, throwing a punch.

With a "crack," the Vajra Shield shattered instantly. The man in black was shocked. He thought his strength was almost on par with these so-called geniuses, but in reality, the gap was so huge.

The man in black crossed his arms and activated another special ability, revealing a metallic sheen on his skin. Lin Yue then slammed a punch into the man's arms.

A powerful blow sent him flying.

At this moment, Lei Shi, who was entangled with Baki, gathered the power of lightning in his lion tail and swept it fiercely, separating Baki. Then, he rushed forward and quickly appeared in the direction where the man in black was flying backward, catching him.

Lei Shi suddenly bit the man in black's collar, and with a powerful flick of his lion head, sent the man flying.

Just as Lin Yue was about to give chase, Lei Shi swung his huge lion paw violently.

"Bang!"

"Sizzle—!"

Lin Yue's body was suddenly sent flying backward, sliding dozens of meters on the ground.

At this moment, Baki arrived, intending to subdue Raishi and find out Chu Yu's whereabouts. However, upon seeing Baki arrive, Raishi immediately exited his Raishi form. The leader was now covered in wounds, and his throat was twisted.

The leader took out a pill with his right hand and inserted it directly into his esophagus, letting the pill flow into his stomach.

In an instant, a surge of violent spiritual energy erupted from his body, causing it to swell all over.

Lin Yue shouted urgently, "Get out of here! He's going to self-destruct!!"

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a loud bang was heard.

"BOOM—!!!"

The ground began to tremble violently, and the shockwave sent Lin Yue flying. He rolled several times on the ground before coming to a stop, and then hurriedly looked in the direction of the explosion.

"Bazuga!!!"

Flames shot into the sky ahead, and powerful spiritual energy fluctuations were constantly being released all around.

Just as Lin Yue was in despair, a voice rang out from the side.

"I'm not dead yet."

Lin Yue immediately turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came, only to see Baki standing to the side as if nothing had happened.

"You...you're alright?...?"

"Of course I'm fine. I sensed his movement a long time ago, and I dodged the moment the explosion occurred, so I wasn't hurt."

"We need to leave here. With Chu Yu captured, the other side will definitely take further action. Let's tell the chairman and Mr. Chu about what happened here first."

Lin Yue nodded: "You go first, I'll come over after I've settled Uncle Li in."

Screen turn

At the Chu Clan's headquarters in the outskirts of the city, Ye Ming and the others were all waiting. All the information on "Kui Sui" was here, and it was also the place where everyone would launch their attack.

All the guards here have been transferred away, leaving only Ye Ming, Hua Shan Xun, and Li Wuyou who came to join the fun. Guo Haihuang has to guard the company, Yujiro went to the secret realm early in the morning to improve his strength, and Lie and his men are hiding in the shadows, waiting for these rats to be defeated so they can find their lair.

Li Wuyou swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "My good disciple, once things are over here, can you come back with me?"

"We'll see. If you really can't wait, go back first. I'll come when I have time. By the way, where are you going again?"

Li Wuyou looked eastward and slowly said, "The Great Wall of Steel."

"The Great Wall of Steel? Isn't that just the coastline?"

"What are you going there for, to kill sea monsters?"

Li Wuyou nodded: "Do you think I'm idle? I came out this time to find a disciple. I'll be going back to oversee things in a few days."

"With the revival of spiritual energy, it's not just land creatures that have mutated; marine creatures are far larger, more numerous, and more terrifying than land creatures."

"There are also hidden realms in the ocean, but those are areas that we humans simply cannot set foot in. Even after fighting with sea monsters for so long, we still cannot know the full picture of them."

"Even during each wave of sea monsters, one or two new species will appear from time to time. It is speculated that if the sea monsters were to use all their strength, we humans would probably be extinct."

"This crisis was raised as early as when the secret realm appeared, so countries have never relaxed their efforts to protect their coastlines."

"Our Sakura Province, surrounded by the sea, was destroyed by sea monsters when the spiritual energy was recovering. Fortunately, most of the people were evacuated in time. In the subsequent counterattack, Sakura Province was swallowed up by the ocean."

Ye Ming asked疑惑地问道, "Which is stronger, the sea beasts or the land monsters?"

"Both are at the same level, but marine creatures are larger and stronger than land monsters."

"What's the difference between a sea monster tide and a monster tide?"

Li Wuyou's lips curled up slightly: "You'll know when you get there. Sea beast tides happen once or twice almost every month. Almost three-quarters of the world's spirit crystals are provided by sea beasts."

"You're the one I've chosen to be the next leader of the Great Wall of Steel."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ming immediately objected: "No, you came out here just to find a successor?"

"With your level of attainment, living for over a thousand years should be a piece of cake."

"Besides, with so many soldiers along the coastline, isn't there a single one who catches your eye?"

Li Wuyou shook his head: "Finding you is the will of Heaven. Our master-disciple relationship is ordained by Heaven."

"You still believe in this stuff?!"

"Of course, I had that old Taoist priest from Xuanqiong Temple specifically divine this for me, so of course I believe it!"

"Do you really intend to stay cooped up in this remote Luoxia City forever? With your and your partner's talent and strength, given enough time, you could stand on the world stage. Luoxia City... is too small."
