Chapter 251 Lightning, Morgan

When he stepped onto the bow of another boat!

Two crippled figures lunged at him!

Those two had white light on them, but compared to Morgan, they were far behind!

"Morgan! Die!"

"Damn Morgan! You could have just killed the sea beasts! Why did you insist on killing people!"

They no longer cared if they could leave this sea alive!

They only wanted Morgan to be buried with them!

But unfortunately, Morgan's war hammer pulled a zigzag current through the air!

One person was hit by the current on the war hammer and instantly paralyzed; the other was hammered to death directly. With a swing of the hammer, the paralyzed one died immediately too!

"Killing you will get me more needles..."

All this happened in the blink of an eye!

The entire Haicheng Team on the boat witnessed this scene.

Ding Shouchang's face turned a bit pale: "That guy? Harvesting other boats? He's... treating other boats as his hunting ground!"

Zhang Lieyang didn't respond, but his gaze remained locked on that figure.

"A very strong aura..."

Chen Muqing stated bluntly: "Terribly strong. Retreat!"

Han Cheng stood at the bow and waved his hand: "No! We absolutely cannot retreat!"

Ding Shouchang: "?"

Zhang Lieyang frowned and agreed: "The opponent is likely the top-ranked candidate team; there's no need to clash with them so early."

...

...

On the other side, the bearded Morgan finished collecting the needles from an entire boat.

The brightness of his body went up another level.

Then he took a step out, stepping onto the sea surface, surrounded by mist.

He was the captain of the Empire of Manchester.

The previous stage's total ranking was third, second only to China Haicheng and Federation Houston.

He was the wielder of the SSS-Rank Talent [Power of Running Thunder], its essence being electromagnetic field manipulation.

The reason he could walk on the sea was that he instantly electrolyzed the seawater at the contact surface into hydrogen and oxygen gas, forming a white mist buffer layer. As long as he was fast enough, he wouldn't sink!

When Morgan returned to his own boat.

A man in a suit leaned over and lowered his voice: "Captain Morgan, see over there? A fleet very close to us. Their light is weak, but they do have needles."

Morgan glanced in the direction of his gaze and scoffed indifferently: "Then what are we waiting for? Drive the boat over, I'll take their needles."

"No, that's not what I meant, Captain."

The man in the suit quickly explained.

Morgan frowned: "De Luca, stop beating around the bush. Speak plainly. Our time is precious; you should know what kind of conversation I like."

De Luca explained patiently: "First, their light is faint, meaning they have very few tide needles and aren't worth the effort. Second, and most importantly, I sense a very serious threat."

"Oh?"

Morgan became a bit interested.

De Luca continued: "On that boat, I perceived two very powerful auras. One of them... honestly, is so strong it's a bit wrong. I rarely use such words, but for that aura, I really don't want to get too close."

Morgan narrowed his eyes: "You think even I am not his match?"

De Luca shook his head, his tone still respectful: "No, Captain, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to express that that expert's strength is very high, that much is beyond doubt."

"If we rashly approach now, we might expose our trump cards early. It's not worth it for just a few needles."

Morgan stretched his muscles: "Since you put it that way, let's keep driving forward. Give them some time to develop. Once they have enough tide needles, I'll make my move."

...

...

"Wait, look!"

Ding Shouchang leaned against the gunwale, looking through binoculars at the distant receding silhouette of the boat.

"Why are they running? After killing everyone on that boat, they're actually ignoring us?!"

He Yu nodded: "They are indeed moving away from us!"

He Xun echoed the confusion: "What's going on?"

"Hmph, does that even need to be said?"

Han Cheng sneered, "They must have a Perception-type Awakened on their boat who sensed my aura from afar. Knowing they can't win, they naturally have no choice but to run."

He sighed softly: "It's no wonder they ran. Only a fool wouldn't."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Shouchang quickly added: "Yes, that's the only logical explanation. They must be afraid of a direct confrontation with us! Captain Han's aura is too strong; he scared them away before even making a move!"

Hearing the agreement around him, Han Cheng couldn't suppress the curl of his lips: "Alright, hurry up and row the boat to catch up!"

"Huh?"

Everyone was stunned: "Catch up? Catch up to where?"

Han Cheng spoke calmly: "If they won't approach us voluntarily, I can't just watch them run away, can I?"

Everyone exchanged glances; no one raised an objection!

The boat once again sped off in pursuit!

When the distance had closed enough that the other boat was visible!

Chen Muqing's voice was grave: "Captain Han, I suggest not getting closer for now!"

Han Cheng turned his head: "Why?"

Chen Muqing closed his eyes, seemingly activating his Talent. After a moment of silence, he said: "The closer we get to that boat, the more electromagnetic pressure I perceive. It's even interfering with my Talent map!"

"The opponent is definitely no ordinary Awakened. Most likely a lightning-related Talent user of an extremely high level!"

After hearing this, Han Cheng smiled: "Isn't that even better? Come on, pull up closer, let me meet him!"

Chen Muqing: "..."

"But Captain Han, Officer Zhou said that unless necessary, your Talent..."

Han Cheng waved his hand: "This is necessary!"

He even looked back at Song Xingmian and smiled slightly: "Mianmian, if you take photos later, you must make sure I look dashing. After all, it's for the archives."

Song Xingmian was somewhat helpless: "I will only record things as they are!"

"That's enough!"

Han Cheng chuckled and said no more. He turned around, facing the approaching silhouette of the boat, and stepped off the gunwale onto the air steps He Yu had already laid out.

He strode across the sea on the transparent steps one by one.

The next second,

He suddenly grabbed his ghost head blade, and dark purple energy exploded from the blade!

Holding the blade with both hands, he slashed down from a height!

The blade energy had already carved a straight white rift on the sea surface!

Heading straight for the opponent's boat!

But a blue-white arc of electricity rose from the bow!

A tall figure leaped from the deck to meet the blade energy!

An octagonal war hammer traced an arc in mid-air, the hammerhead colliding head-on with the blade energy—

Boom!!!

"Since you're looking for death, I'll grant it to you!"
