130: Chapter 130 Wang Jinhua: This counts as a work injury!

"Ah!!!"

"It's a King-level Exotic Beast! Where is Master Shouchong? Where are the Flying Martial Artists of Starry Sky Group?!"

On the deck, there were also many accompanying personnel, mainly the Transcendent Martial Artists participating in the battle, and some people with status and influence, such as the relatives and friends of people like Manager Jiang Zhou and Sister Lan.

The crowd, who a second ago had still been admiring the magnificent seascape under the cover of night, all screamed out one after another.

These martial artists, whose Life Level was mostly at the intermediate or early advanced stage, couldn't even stand steadily under the pressure of the King-level Exotic Beast, let alone muster the strength to run toward the cabin.

"Save me!"

The sounds of terrified screams and calls for help blended into a chaotic mess.

Fang Zhuo felt heavy-hearted. He himself was like a clay bodhisattva crossing a river—barely able to save himself—so apart from his wife, Bai Shiwei, how could he possibly look after anyone else?

A King-level Exotic Beast!

This was an existence that only a Flying Martial Artist could handle!

Run! Faster!!!

But, if Master Shouchong was not on the yanhai ship, Manager Jiang and Brother Wang should have come out by now!

Manager Jiang Zhou was also a genuine Flying Martial Artist. Back when Fang Zhuo was in the Purple Bamboo Forest in the C09 Wilderness Area waiting for the group's people to arrive, the sight of Manager Jiang Zhou descending from the sky had left a deep impression on him for a long time.

As for Wang Jinhua, as a level 49 peak Transcendent Martial Artist, his Body Control had long since entered the Inner Sight level. He had cooperated with others many times in the group's Operations Department and had even hunted King-level Exotic Beasts before.

How come not a single shadow of them could be seen?

Fang Zhuo's mind was in turmoil, but it didn't hinder his speed at all. He completed the sprint across the hundreds-of-meters-long deck in the blink of an eye and arrived in front of the cabin.

It was also at this moment.

A voice filled with rage resounded around the yanhai ship.

"Vile beast!"

Master Qin, dressed in a Tang suit, soared into the sky. In his hand was a long spear wreathed in wisps of lightning. A cold glint pierced through from the spear tip, striking first toward the silver-winged giant beast.

"How dare you!"

Facing this lightning-surging spear strike.

Within the silver-winged giant beast's two watermelon-sized pupils, a flash of human-like trepidation flickered. It actually flapped its wings, circled, and changed direction above the deck.

The next instant, it turned around and fled into the distance.

"Want to run?"

Master Qin gave a soft huff.

He could tell at a glance that this silver-winged giant beast had a Life Level exceeding level 55, making it an extremely powerful existence among King-level Exotic Beasts.

The creature also faintly contained the bloodline of some kind of cosmic exotic beast.

Being able to bypass his perception and launch a surprise attack so close to the yanhai ship most likely had to do with its bloodline power.

Kill it! After the Ocean Gathering ends, bring it back to the Xia Kingdom and toss it to the Cosmic Exotic Beast Research Institute; perhaps they could develop a new, powerful martial arts serum.

"Vile beast, you want to leave after coming here?"

Just as Master Qin soared into the sky and thrust his spear toward the silver-winged giant beast.

Manager Jiang Zhou also rushed out from the cabin. Without a word, he also shot into the sky. His combat blade spat out blade qi, and a fiery red blade shadow flashed, blocking the other direction where the silver-winged giant beast was fleeing.

This move of the Thunder Fire Blade created blade shadows that seemed to cover the sky and earth.

Together with Master Qin's long spear, they sealed off the silver-winged giant beast's path, one from the left and one from the right.

"Thunder Fire Blade, Seventh Form...!"

Standing at the edge of the cabin, Fang Zhuo looked up and recognized the familiar secret technique of the Thunder Fire Blade immediately.

It didn't look much more profound than the sixth form, but the commotion was more than twice as large!

Secret technique moves, in the end, still depend on the user's Life Level.

However... it was one thing that Master Shouchong and Manager Jiang appeared a bit late this time, but they actually pursued it outside. If this silver-winged giant beast turned back and attacked... wouldn't everyone on this yanhai ship be finished?

Fang Zhuo's thought had just settled.

He saw the silver-winged giant beast in the air, after being attacked from both sides, suddenly stop its momentum, make a fierce turn, and dive back toward the deck!

It really was a case of fearing what you don't want to happen!

Fang Zhuo's scalp went numb. What to do now?

Master Shouchong and Manager Jiang really were all brawn and no brains!!!

"Vile beast! How dare you!!"

In the air, Master Qin and Manager Jiang Zhou's eyes were splitting with rage and they were quite vexed. They really hadn't expected the silver-winged giant beast to be so agile in changing direction.

The two hurriedly retracted their moves and flew toward the deck.

But they were a step too slow and could only follow furiously behind the silver-winged giant beast.

"We're done for!"

"Master Shouchong is confused! How could he chase it out!"

"We're all screwed now. Could it be that our Xia Kingdom's team is just going to be wiped out during this Ocean Gathering?"

The people on the deck who had just breathed a sigh of relief closed their eyes in despair once again.

Fang Zhuo watched the silver-winged giant beast diving rapidly. He had the heart to resist, but he knew he couldn't block even half a blow. Rushing up would be useless, serving no purpose other than throwing his life away.

"Hoo~!"

Fang Zhuo took a deep breath, his adrenaline spiking. He nimbly scooped up Bai Shiwei again, vaulted over the railing, and was about to jump into the sea.

No matter what, he had to dodge the silver-winged giant beast's strike on the yanhai ship first!

It was also at this moment.

The cabin door was kicked open.

Wang Jinhua, dressed in a black training suit, rushed out.

"Manager Jiang is a complete idiot!"

With red eyes, Wang Jinhua, holding a gleaming combat blade, rushed to the very front of the deck and then leaped high, actively meeting the diving silver-winged giant beast.

He swung his blade, hacking down!

A fiery red blade shadow appeared, accompanied by rolls of thunder. Immediately after, blade qi burst forth from the blade, crossing a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

It was the lethal move contained within the sixth form of the Thunder Fire Blade, Thunder Fire Echo!

"Can he block it?"

Fang Zhuo saw it clearly and hesitated slightly in his action of jumping into the sea.

This Thunder Fire Echo strike from Wang Jinhua was more than ten times more imposing than the one unleashed by that cosmic exotic beast, the Heaven-Reaching Ape, at the exotic beast shop in the outer district of Starry Sky Base City back then!

The next second.

The blade qi slashed onto the menacing silver-winged giant beast.

A teeth-gritting screeching sound erupted, and a flash of surprise crossed the silver-winged giant beast's two huge eyeballs.

This human martial artist, whose Life Level was only at the Transcendent stage, could actually injure it?

Even if it was just a tiny superficial wound.

The silver-winged giant beast furiously flapped its wings. Its tens-of-meters-long wings slashed toward Wang Jinhua like giant blades.

"Clang—!"

A crisp sound rang out as Wang Jinhua's combat blade collided with the wing that was countless times larger. He immediately spat blood and flew backward, his face as pale as paper, and slammed onto the deck.

But this collision.

Also slowed the silver-winged giant beast down.

Master Qin and Manager Jiang Zhou caught up and entangled the silver-winged giant beast once again.

Seeing this, Fang Zhuo immediately dashed forward. Before Wang Jinhua slammed onto the deck, he used his foot to nimbly hook him, neutralizing the impact force and catching Wang Jinhua.

"How are you, Brother Wang?"

"I won't die..."

Wang Jinhua's voice was low, but steady. He struggled to get up, but when he saw that he had been caught by Fang Zhuo's foot.

He was immediately so enraged that he spat out another mouthful of blood.

"You bastard! Why do you keep holding your wife?! Couldn't you have used your hands to catch me?!"

"This..."

Fang Zhuo heard this and glanced at the sky. He saw that the silver-winged giant beast, having been injured while being sandwiched by the two Flying Martial Artists, made a sudden dash, sped off into the distance, and disappeared on the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Only then did he put Bai Shiwei down and explained: "Brother Wang, don't worry about these details. As Transcendent Martial Artists, our Body Control is at the Inner Sight level, so catching with hands or feet is the same."

Wang Jinhua glared at Fang Zhuo upon hearing this, still wanting to say something.

At this time, Manager Jiang Zhou and Master Qin landed back on the deck.

The two had learned their lesson; they were terrified now. Even though the silver-winged giant beast was already injured, no matter how greedy they were, they dared not pursue it any further.

Upon seeing Manager Jiang Zhou, Wang Jinhua shifted his anger over: "Manager Jiang, you idiot, do you know now that you shouldn't pursue a desperate foe?"

"This counts as a work-related injury for me! The compensation for this work-related injury must be paid by your Supervision Department!"
