49: Chapter 49 Tell me, who did we offend?

The [White Shark Secret Realm] was not very far from where Li Fan was currently located.

It was at most about a twenty-minute journey.

However, with Li Fan advancing at full speed,

he only took more than ten minutes to reach the outer plaza of the [White Shark Secret Realm].

On the way, he had already conjured up ten thousand methods to kill He Wenguang and annihilate the He Family.

Regardless of whether Gu Ling got into trouble this time or not,

he was prepared to launch a frantic retaliation against the He Family!

Until the He Family was completely wiped out!

This time it was his girlfriend and friends.

Next time,

it might be his parents!

He absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, this He Wenguang and the He Family must not be allowed to live!

Passing through the entrance of the blue vortex,

Li Fan arrived inside the [White Shark Secret Realm].

At a glance, it was a vast expanse of azure blue.

It was a boundless ocean.

And scattered across the sea were numerous islands of various sizes, like stars, with seagulls occasionally flying overhead in the sky.

On the islands at this moment, one could see scattered Awakened Ones struggling with some beached White Sharks near the shore, making it quite lively.

Li Fan quickly determined the direction based on the guidance provided by Ma Xiu and Lu Qilai.

Treading on the waves, he sped away rapidly.

The surges of spray he kicked up along the way resembled a train sailing across the sea.

"Hiss! Look over there, what's that train? Have our infrastructure projects reached the Secret Realm?"

"Huh? Let me take a look."

"Holy crap! That's not a train, that's clearly a person!"

"Huh???"

"I'm going, I'm going! This is a bit terrifying, how fast must he be going?"

...

Many people on the surrounding islands noticed the commotion around Li Fan and couldn't help but gaze into the distance.

After confirming it was a person,

they all couldn't help but open their mouths wide, stunned speechless.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Secret Realm,

within a dense jungle on a massive island,

Gu Quan, Gu Ling, and Ning Zhenzhen were struggling to hold on inside a protective barrier.

It could be seen that

Gu Quan was currently disheveled and had sustained quite a few injuries.

Gu Ling beside him was better off; no visible signs of injury could be seen, but her face was pale from exhaustion.

As for Ning Zhenzhen,

as the sole protector among the three now, she was clearly struggling desperately to maintain the shield.

It was worth mentioning that

in this Secret Realm, Ning Zhenzhen was like a fish in water.

Leveraging the abundant water resources nearby,

her combat strength had forcefully elevated to a level comparable to someone above level seventy!

It was simply incredible!

If it weren't for her body being unable to withstand the energy load, coupled with the actual level seventy-plus individuals constantly attacking and interfering, her combat power could have risen another level!

The reason Lu Qilai and Ma Xiu managed to escape successfully

was largely due to Ning Zhenzhen's assistance.

However, for this, Ning Zhenzhen had paid a heavy price.

As a result, she could now only barely summon the surrounding endless seawater to form a protective barrier, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

But looking at the bloodstains flowing from Ning Zhenzhen's mouth,

it was clear she couldn't hold on much longer.

"Damn it!"

"You two sons of bitches!"

"If you have the guts, come at me! What kind of skill is bullying two women?"

Inside the protective barrier, Gu Quan coughed up blood and roared at the two figures still attacking outside.

His eyes were bloodshot at the moment.

He deeply regretted being too complacent, coming to a Secret Realm of only level thirty without bringing the ultimate life-saving talisman from his clan.

If he had the talisman, the current situation would certainly not have occurred.

"Yell, yell! You're giving me a headache!"

"Come at me? What kind of thing are you? You're not even as strong as a woman!"

One of them glared at Gu Quan at this moment, conjured an ice spike in his hand, and abruptly launched it toward Gu Quan.

But unfortunately, it was still blocked by Ning Zhenzhen's protective barrier.

And this attack undoubtedly made Ning Zhenzhen's face turn even paler.

Seeing this sight,

Gu Quan and Gu Ling beside him felt as if their hearts were being twisted.

Ning Zhenzhen had always been like a little sister among their group.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, their friendship was already deep.

And now, they could only stand by and watch helplessly, letting this little sister struggle alone.

At this moment, Gu Ling forced herself up, walked to Ning Zhenzhen's side, and once again activated her healing spell.

But unfortunately,

after just a few seconds of healing,

Gu Ling collapsed again.

Her stamina could no longer support her in maintaining the healing spell.

"Sister Ling, don't worry about me, I can hold on a little longer!"

Ning Zhenzhen saw this and quickly gritted her teeth to speak.

Gu Ling's eyes gradually moistened, and her voice was hoarse.

"Their target is me. Zhen Zhen, Cousin, you two should leave."

She truly didn't want to see anyone sacrifice their life for her.

However, Ning Zhenzhen naturally couldn't agree to such a request, and she said solemnly:

"Sister Ling, what nonsense are you talking about? We absolutely won't abandon you!"

"I haven't had many friends since I was little. Now that I finally have a few, I won't allow anyone to get hurt!"

"I can hold on a bit longer. You two rest well. I believe our reinforcements will be here soon!"

Listening to their words,

the two outside the barrier couldn't help but sneer.

They had the He Family backing them.

Unless they alerted the Twelve Families of Beizhou City, who would dare to come easily?

Even though two people had luckily escaped,

the two didn't believe these two could summon any truly powerful reinforcements.

Even if they did come,

they could just flee the scene.

"Big Brother, this little girl's water shield is really damn annoying!"

"Don't worry, in her current state, she won't last many more seconds. Once the shield breaks, we can take their lives instantly, and then we just wait for the rewards."

"But, the higher-ups didn't tell us to use lethal force, right? Wouldn't that be bad?"

"You know nothing! People have to learn to gauge their leader's thoughts. Young Master He asked us to teach them a lesson, which clearly means he's extremely displeased with them but it's inconvenient for him to act personally. If we can directly eliminate these thorns in Young Master He's side, it will surely be exactly what Young Master He wants. Then the reward will definitely be at least doubled!"

"Brilliant! Brilliant! Big Brother, it really is you!"

The two whispered conspiratorially.

After speaking, they continued to launch a new round of fierce attacks against the water shield.

Bang!

Not long after,

accompanied by a deafening bang,

the water shield Ning Zhenzhen had desperately maintained was finally broken and began to disintegrate.

Ning Zhenzhen also spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed.

This scene made the eyes of the two light up.

Dozens of ice spikes gradually materialized around the two figures.

"Blame it on offending the wrong people!"

"Die!"

One of them revealed a sinister grin at this moment.

With a lift of his large hand,

all the ice spikes shot toward the three of them.

At this moment,

the three felt immense despair.

They had done everything they could.

No reinforcements had arrived; now they could only accept this fate.

But just then,

an unexpected force emerged.

A streak of light flashed by.

All the ice spikes were instantly pulverized.

And immediately following that,

the next thing to be pulverized was the head of one of the two men.

"Offended someone?"

"Why don't you tell me, who exactly did we offend?"

An enraged yet mocking voice

slowly sounded at this moment.
