169: Chapter 169 Since We're Here

Li Taiping took one look at the situation and immediately understood.

It turned out that these two were mortal enemies with opposing attributes—one ice and one fire—inherently incompatible.

"Ying ying!"

The little fox let out a sharp cry, its body slightly lowered as it assumed an attacking stance.

Seeing the little fox acting like it was facing a formidable enemy yet refusing to back down, The girls felt their hearts ache for it.

"Little one, come back quickly."

Chu Mengyao hurriedly ran over and scooped the little fox into her arms.

"Exactly, we have Captain here, trust in the Captain."

Jing He also leaned in, reaching out to stroke the little fox's bristling fur, trying to soothe it.

Each of them felt their hearts melting because of this adorable little creature.

The Mythical Serpent in mid-air saw this and thought its prey was trying to escape.

It opened its bloodthirsty maw, and a blinding red light lit up deep within its throat, clearly preparing to unleash dragon's breath.

The surrounding temperature soared once more, and the metal railings at the edge of the deck even began to glow red.

Just then, He Yushui had quietly crept up to Li Taiping's side without anyone noticing.

She stood on tiptoe, leaned into Li Taiping's ear, and whispered in a low voice.

Li Taiping listened, then raised an eyebrow.

He turned his head to look at the Mythical Serpent in mid-air, which was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, with saliva dripping from its mouth.

"Takeout delivered to my door? Interesting." He chuckled.

The next second.

Li Taiping casually took a step forward.

"Boom!"

An indescribably terrifying pressure erupted from him as the center, sweeping out like a hurricane!

This was the terrifying pressure belonging to an epic grade life form!

Peak combat power, completely unrestrained!

That aura, vast as mountains and seas, instantly enveloped the entire area.

At this moment, the air seemed to turn into a solid substance.

The seawater within a hundred-meter radius was forcibly pressed down by half a meter by this invisible gravity, forming a massive depression.

The good grade stitched monsters on the sea surface that hadn't managed to escape yet exploded and died under this pressure, turning into clouds of black blood mist.

Hong Youwu stood in the back, watching Li Taiping's arrogant silhouette, her heartbeat unconsciously quickening.

This was the man she had chosen to follow; he was suffocatingly strong.

In mid-air.

The Mythical Serpent, which had just been aggressive and imposing, suddenly froze.

It was as if someone had pressed the pause button.

Its arrogant aura came to an abrupt halt.

The ball of extreme flame dragon's breath about to be spewed from its throat was forcibly stifled back by this pressure, even choking it until two wisps of black smoke puffed out of its nostrils.

Its vertical pupils, not particularly large, were instantly filled with extreme terror, its eyeballs nearly popping out.

The flames on its body went out with a 'poof', as if a basin of ice water had been poured over its head, extinguishing them completely in an instant.

Without any hesitation.

Its two bodies twisted and knotted frantically in mid-air, trying desperately to turn around.

Run!

Run quickly!

What kind of international joke is this!

This is the pressure of an epic grade big shot!

How can I fight this!

It was just a small fry at the peak of the Excellent Grade; in front of this aura, it didn't even qualify to be cannon fodder.

The Mythical Serpent's webbed feet flapped frantically against the air, creating bursts of chaotic currents as it dove headlong toward the mercury-like seawater below.

It just wanted to return to the seabed now and dig a hole to bury itself.

However, at the very moment its head was about to touch the sea surface.

Li Taiping's voice, carrying a hint of mockery yet extremely cold, resonated leisurely in its ears.

"Since you're already here, don't run away."
