826: Chapter 826 is back!

"What do you mean by ungrateful wretches?"

A middle-aged woman immediately retorted, "We're just telling the truth! That monster left on its own; what does that have to do with him?"

"Exactly! Don't think we're so easily fooled!"

"If he's really that powerful, why doesn't he let us see it with our own eyes?"

"That's right! If you've got the guts, call it back and tame it again right in front of us!"

The crowd grew more agitated as they spoke, their voices rising in volume.

Derek stood in the crowd, a cold sneer playing on his lips.

Hmph!

Ye Chen, oh Ye Chen… aren't you good at bragging?

Let's see how you're going to clean up this mess.

Ye Chen picked at his ear, looking impatient as he spoke.

"Fine."

"Since you don't believe me, I'll grant your wish and call it back right now."

"But I'll make one thing clear first…"

"Once it's back, I'm done with it."

"If the ship capsizes and people die, don't you dare blame me."

The people around exchanged glances, and the mocking laughter ceased abruptly.

In fact… some people in the crowd had already started to lose their nerve.

After all, when that giant beast appeared earlier, the earth-shattering sense of oppression had been etched into their very bones. Just the thought of facing it again made their legs go weak.

Yet, at this very moment, Derek took a step forward and spoke with a cold sneer.

"Everyone, you aren't actually scared, are you?"

"He's just bluffing!"

"You don't actually believe…"

"That just because he whistled, that thing really left?"

"How could there be such a coincidence in this world?"

"He's just deliberately taking credit and trying to scare us to make himself look capable!"

Derek's voice echoed through the cabin, striking a chord with everyone present.

Sure enough.

The crowd, which had been wavering, was stirred up by Derek and came back to life.

"That's right! Young Master Derek makes sense! If he could really call it back, why didn't he just say so earlier?"

"I think he's just putting on an act!"

"FUCK! I almost got fooled by him! Summoning a giant beast with a whistle? Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe that!"

"Come on, come on! Call it! Call it back and let us see! Let's see what kind of trick you can pull!"

The cabin erupted into chaos again, even louder than before.

Everyone was shouting their disbelief, their faces full of mockery.

Derek stood at the very front of the crowd, a flash of triumph in his eyes.

He was determined to ruin Ye Chen's reputation!

Otherwise… he wouldn't be able to swallow the grudge of that slap!

Although he could wait until they reached the Antarctic to make other plans, he really couldn't wait!

If there was a chance… he didn't want to waste it!

"Sigh!"

"Ignorant fool!"

Ye Chen sighed and cupped his hands to his mouth again.

Then, he blew sharply.

"Woo—"

In an instant, a low horn-like sound flowed out from between his fingers, piercing through the cabin walls, skimming across the sea, and drifting toward the deep blue waters that had just calmed down.

The next second.

The mocking laughter that had been boiling in the cabin died down instantly.

Everyone instinctively held their breath, waiting to see what would happen next, but…

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

The sea remained as calm as a mirror.

Someone couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha! See? I told you! It was just bluffing…"

Before he could finish his sentence,

"BOOM!!!"

A wall of water, even larger than the previous one, shot into the sky from a few dozen meters in front of the bow.

The seawater, as if blasted from the seabed by some force, surged a hundred meters into the air, turning into a mist that poured down in all directions.

Following that, the massive shadow surfaced once again.

It opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar.

"ROAR!!!"

The sound… was fiercer! More violent! More terrifying than before!

A shockwave exploded, shaking the aurora violently. The seawater on the deck was pushed up into a curtain of water several meters high by the sound waves.

In the cabin, everyone was stunned.

They had been laughing heartily just a moment ago, but now they looked like they had been choked by the throat, their faces pale as paper.

Derek was frozen in place, feeling completely unwell.

Someone snapped out of it, looking at the giant beast in terror, their face turning green.

"It really came back…"

"My god! What Ye Chen said was true!"

"He's the one who drove it away! He saved everyone!"

Fear spread.

Despair was written all over everyone's faces.

Ignoring the terrified crowd, Ye Chen turned around and said calmly, "Believe it now?"

No one in the crowd dared to answer.

Only the giant beast was calling out on the sea.

It seemed… as if it were waiting for Ye Chen's next command.

Ye Chen continued, "Alright, handle the rest of this yourselves."

After saying that, Ye Chen turned and left.

Everyone snapped out of their stupor.

The next second, someone shouted in panic, "Ye Chen, you can't just leave us, you're the one who summoned it!"

"That's right!"

Another person's eyes were filled with panic. "If we all die, you'll definitely be held responsible!"

The people around also looked at Ye Chen in fear.

If Ye Chen really left like this, they were dead meat!

As for Ye Chen?

Since he could summon the sea beast, he must have a way to leave!

Wouldn't that mean they would die in vain?

Yan Qingwu was just about to follow Ye Chen when she couldn't help but pause and sneer at the group of people, "Do you even have the face to say that? Who was it just now… asking Ye Chen to prove it? Now that he has, you're starting to shift the blame again?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone present turned pale.

That's right!

It was they who had insisted on courting death and demanded that Ye Chen call the giant beast over.

But now… were they just going to wait to die?

However, Ye Chen and Yan Qingwu had already left directly, not bothering to pay them any mind at all.

This scene made everyone feel even more desperate.

The giant beast let out a low roar as its body sank into the sea.

A violent shockwave rippled outward, and the waves, like an overwhelming curtain, pounded against the ship frantically.

The violent shaking made everyone around panic.

They were panicked!

They were terrified!

Derek gritted his teeth and roared, "Everyone, don't panic! If Ye Chen can summon and dismiss that giant beast, then if we join forces, we can definitely defeat it! As long as we kill it, we can survive too!!!"

Derek shouted this with great confidence.

After all… as the Vice President of The Association, he had seen many storms. In his view, even if the giant beast was enormous, it was nothing more than a beast.

No matter how big a beast is, can it withstand the focused fire of dozens of Ability Users?

"Everyone, follow my orders!"

"Members of The Association, form a defensive formation in the front row!"

"Attack-type Ability Users, provide support from the center!"

"Fire and Lightning types, prioritize output! Aim for its weak points like its eyes, mouth, and nose!"

The members of The Association behind him exchanged glances. Although they were terrified, they dared not disobey the Vice President's orders.

Furthermore… the Vice President had always been a favored son of heaven!

If they could join forces and defeat this giant beast, they would definitely be able to make a name for The Association directly!

For a moment, seven or eight people rushed onto the deck first and set up a formation at the bow.

Following that, the other passengers who were gripped by fear were also Cultivators.

Seeing someone take the lead, their instinct for survival was ignited.

"Damn it, let's fight! We can't just wait to die!?"

"Screw it! There are so many of us, are we really afraid of one beast?"

"Right! Everyone attack together and kill that giant beast! Let that bastard Ye Chen know that we can do it without him!"

They roared.

It seemed like they were trying to convince themselves, but more like they were trying to bolster their own courage.

In an instant, thirty or forty people surged onto the deck.

There were Ability Users, martial artists, and a few Bodyguards carrying firearms.

Colorful glows of true energy rose up on the deck.

Derek stood behind the crowd, a cold sneer finally appearing on his lips.

Ye Chen, oh Ye Chen… aren't you just relying on some strange methods to play god?

Once I slaughter this giant beast, let's see what you have to be arrogant about in front of me!

By then… you'll be nothing but a piece of shit!!!

"ATTACK!!!"

Derek waved his hand violently.

In an instant, dozens of attacks poured down toward the giant beast on the sea.

Colorful lights streaked through the night sky like a meteor shower, all crashing onto the giant beast's massive body.

"BOOM!"

"BOOM BOOM!"

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!"

Explosions rang out continuously, fire and sea waves intertwining.

Everyone on the deck widened their eyes, staring intently at the area covered by the attacks.

They were expecting to see the giant beast roar in pain.

But a few seconds later… when the fire faded and the giant beast's silhouette was revealed on the sea, everyone was stunned.

The giant beast floated on the sea, completely unharmed.

Those attacks, which were powerful enough to collapse a building, landed on it, leaving only a few white marks on the surface of its shell.

It didn't even count as a tickle.

"This… how is this possible???"

Someone cried out involuntarily.

They had given it their all!

And this was the result???

The giant beast seemed to have been annoyed by this series of attacks.

It lowered its head and let out a roar.

Then, it flicked its tail.

It was just a light flick of its tail.

Truly, just a light one.

But… the sea exploded with a boom!
