Chapter 251: The Sea God Has Many Tricks

"Why are you calling me stupid? I'm not stupid at all." Lin Fan really disliked the creature in front of him. Not only did it hurt his wife, but it also insulted him. This behavior was truly vile.

Mu Qing, standing behind Lin Fan, really wanted to say, "It was the impact of your landing that stirred up the sand and cut my arm, it has nothing to do with the evil creature." But… if that's what you want to believe…

The evil creature, Deep Sea King, laughed. "Pathetic human. I, the Deep Sea King, appear before you, and instead of thinking about how to save your life, you're trying to prove you're not stupid."

"Let me ask you, have you ever seen the fastest speed in the world?"

Lin Fan frowned. "No."

"Then you'll see it in a moment." The Deep Sea King smiled, then his expression turned serious. With a bang, he vanished from the spot, moving at an incredible speed, a hundred meters per second, whipping up a small sandstorm.

Lin Fan watched the Deep Sea King with an indifferent expression. Speed, huh… seemed average. Not that fast.

When the Deep Sea King reappeared in front of Lin Fan, he brought with him a gust of wind that forced Mu Qing and the group of children to close their eyes. The wind was like a blade, stinging their faces.

So strong. And this was the slow speed the evil creature was talking about? Mu Qing felt a sense of defeat. Her earlier thought of escaping with the children was unrealistic. With this kind of speed… it would be very difficult.

The Deep Sea King looked down at Lin Fan arrogantly. "Are you scared by my speed?"

"No," Lin Fan replied.

"Really? Putting on a brave face, but inside you're scared to death, right? You humans are always like this." The Deep Sea King didn't believe that the human wasn't scared. He just assumed he was pretending to be calm. The fastest speed is always so terrifying.

Lin Fan said, "I'm not scared of you at all."

The Deep Sea King laughed. "Have you seen the most terrifying power?"

"No," Lin Fan said.

"Good, then now you can see it." The Deep Sea King threw a punch towards Lin Fan, stopping abruptly just before it connected. Astonishing force rippled outwards from the halted fist. The sand on the ground was blown away.

"Isn't it terrifying?" the Deep Sea King said smugly. He was most proud of his speed and power. This human must be terrified, standing there calmly only because he was forcing himself to appear composed. Inside, he must be scared witless.

"Not terrifying at all," Lin Fan said, looking at the Deep Sea King.

A gnashing of teeth could be heard. The Deep Sea King glared at Lin Fan furiously. "You have completely enraged me! Do you know how much I hate it when people lie to me? And you've been lying to me from the beginning!"

"You can never imagine how terrifying I am when I'm angry."

"Now you'll know."

The Deep Sea King was quite talkative.

Lin Fan's gaze remained calm. "Why did you hurt my wife? You injured her arm. I don't like to be violent with others, but you've made me very angry. I'm telling you this in advance so you can be prepared."

Mu Qing blinked, looking down at her arm. This injury… seems like… you did it.

"Oh, what did you say? I can't hear you." The Deep Sea King put on an infuriating expression, bending down and bringing his head close to Lin Fan, then turning his ear towards him. "I can't hear you!"

Hit him.

Hit him!

Mu Qing couldn't stand the Deep Sea King's provoking demeanor. If she could beat him, she definitely wouldn't hold back. Remembering how close she came to being killed by him, she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

"I want to hit you," Lin Fan said.

The Deep Sea King laughed. "You want to hit me? Good! Let me see how much your little fists can hurt me. Come on, hit me in the face. I'm looking forward to it."

Lin Fan took a deep breath. What an infuriating fellow. He then clenched his fist and pulled his arm back.

"Oh, such a stupid human."

"Are you serious with that punch?"

"Do you know who I am?"

"I am the Deep Sea King…"

BOOM!

Lin Fan's fist shot out. A terrifying force erupted from his punch, instantly engulfing the Deep Sea King. A streak of white light spread out, too bright to look at directly.

Mu Qing squeezed her eyes shut. She sniffed the air.

"The smell of water, why is there the smell of water?"

A long time passed.

The world returned to calm. The rumbling thunderous sound was gone.

Opening her eyes, Mu Qing stood dumbfounded. Was the scene before her eyes the same as before?

A bottomless chasm stretched from Lin Fan's feet, extending all the way to the river, and even more terrifyingly, the river itself was split in two.

"Is this the kind of power a human can possess?" Mu Qing was horrified, as if she had seen a ghost. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it.

And now… where was the Deep Sea King? Perhaps not even a trace remained.

"Where did he go?" Mu Qing asked, even though she knew the answer. It was just too hard to accept, and hearing it from Lin Fan might make it slightly easier.

Lin Fan's gaze followed the dust particles floating in the air.

"He flew away."

Indeed, he had flown away. Although this punch had killed the Deep Sea King, it also incidentally killed many other evil creatures caught in the blast. They died without understanding why, without even seeing who attacked them.

Truly tragic.

The evil creatures who were preparing to land stared blankly at the scene before them. Their comrades, who were just chatting with them moments ago, had vanished in the blink of an eye. This cast a long shadow over their hearts.

Given the current situation… was there still a need to land?

Let's go.

The surviving evil creatures exchanged glances. They slipped away, really slipped away. They had come to Yanhai City for a simple reason: the god had sent them. But the situation was now too dangerous. It was better to play it safe.

"Am I awesome?" Lin Fan smiled.

Mu Qing said in a daze, "Awesome."

These weren't empty words, but genuine awe. He was too strong, overwhelmingly so, beyond her imagination.

"Wow… Uncle is so strong!"

"Sister Mu, you have a husband! My dad said you didn't. He's much more handsome than my dad. Can I be your son?"

"I want to be the daughter!"

"I asked first!"

"No way, it's not just for you!"

Mu Qing looked at the children and couldn't help but laugh. Just then, she felt a coolness on her arm. Looking down, she saw Lin Fan licking her wound.

"What are you doing…" Mu Qing trembled, startled. Every time she met this guy, she was either taken advantage of or angered to the point of a brain hemorrhage.

"You said saliva can disinfect. I'm disinfecting you," Lin Fan said.

Mu Qing said, "When did I ever say that?"

Lin Fan just smiled, offering no explanation.

Although the evil creatures here had retreated, there were still others causing chaos elsewhere, keeping the special department members extremely busy and caught off guard.

On the cross-river bridge:

"Help!"

"Oh my god, someone save me!"

On the bridge, people abandoned their cars and fled. The evil creatures blocking the way were too terrifying. Survival was all that mattered.

Members of the special department arrived.

Lu Han, the powerful Buddhist monk, once again ripped his clothes dramatically, attracting the attention of the evil creatures with his magnificent physique.

"Come on, if you're an evil creature, come at me!"

As the meat shield, he had no choice but to frantically draw the attention of the evil creatures. A severe beating later was unavoidable.

Some members noticed something was wrong. Most of these evil creatures were water-type. Their arrival was a little too coincidental. Just after rejecting Haiyun Country, this happened. The special department knew this was likely Haiyun Country's revenge.

The Sea God truly existed. Controlling some sea creatures was obviously a simple matter for him.

But what good was it for them to realize this? Haiyun Country wanted public opinion on their side.

Online:

Many people were watching the situation in Yanhai City.

"There are too many evil creatures. Yanhai City is in imminent danger. How can they possibly defend against this?"

"That one-eyed man seems to be the leader of the Yanhai City special department. He's fighting an evil creature now, and that creature is way too strong."

"This is normal. When evil creatures invade a city, there's bound to be a leader."

The buildings by the river were severely damaged, and the special department members couldn't retreat. The citizens hadn't been fully evacuated yet.

In Xia Du:

Chief Xu and the others watched the live broadcast online with grave expressions.

"Chief, this is definitely deliberate. I think it must be Haiyun Country. They want us to agree to build the Sea God statue."

"So silent, without a single warning. Too ruthless."

Chief Xu's expression was solemn. He didn't say a word. As the chief of the special department, he had to be responsible for every word he said. He couldn't speak carelessly.

He knew this matter was definitely related to Haiyun Country.

But…

There was no evidence.

If Yanhai City was severely damaged by the evil creatures, public opinion would definitely shift. Even if they tried to stop it, they couldn't stop the tide of public opinion.

In the hotel:

Madonna's face was filled with fanaticism. "A bunch of ungrateful fools. The god's gift is not something you can refuse. In the end, only the god can save you."

Seeing the evil creatures wantonly destroying Yanhai City, Madonna felt even more awe for the Sea God. What powerful strength, what a magnificent being.

Refusal often comes at a price.

In Yanhai City:

"Report! The situation is critical. The evil creatures have broken through the defense line and are advancing towards the city center!"

"What? Stop them at all costs! Absolutely do not let the evil creatures enter the city center, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

The special department members communicated with each other, all anxious.

There were too many evil creatures.

And they discovered that the strength of these creatures was gradually increasing. The ones they had fought earlier were just cannon fodder. The further they went, the more terrifying the evil creatures became.

At this moment, the One-Eyed Man was entangled with two evil creatures. Their individual strength wasn't insurmountable, but these two creatures could regenerate lost limbs. No matter how badly injured they were, they could recover in a short time.

This situation reminded him of the Roach Devil.

Just not as terrifying as the Roach Devil.

Suddenly, a terrifying power emanated from the river.

BOOM!

The originally clear sky was instantly covered with thick, dark clouds, lightning flashing and thunder rumbling.

All the citizens of Yanhai City looked up at the sky in fear.

What was happening?

What terrifying thing was about to happen?

Their mental state was on the verge of collapse. They already knew from the internet that a large number of evil creatures were attacking from the river, and some online said that the special department members were having a hard time resisting them.

Yanhai City might be destroyed.

Many people were already driving, trying to escape Yanhai City.

And at this critical moment, someone in the city shouted:

"Sea God, save us!"

"Only the Sea God can save us now! If you save us, we will definitely build a statue for you!"

Some of the citizens who didn't know what was going on were confused, but then more and more people started shouting, and the chant quickly gained momentum.

It was highly likely that those who first shouted for the Sea God were people planted by Haiyun Country.

In moments of deepest despair, it often takes only a few people to completely shift public opinion.

"What is that?" The One-Eyed Man looked towards the river. A gigantic humanoid creature appeared there. It held a trident and roared furiously. With a single stride, it caused monstrous waves on the river.

"Is it a god?"

"Definitely not." The One-Eyed Man could sense an extremely terrifying and destructive power from the gigantic humanoid creature.

At that moment, the humanoid creature hurled its massive trident. It transformed into a streak of light and with a boom, it plunged into the heart of the city.

The trident was enormous. Even the surrounding buildings weren't as tall as this weapon.

BOOM!

Lightning from the sky struck down, entwining around the trident, creating a terrifying spectacle.

The citizens who saw this were petrified, collapsing to the ground, too afraid to move.

Despair filled their hearts.

It's over.

Yanhai City is truly doomed.

Who can save us?

The cameras of the live broadcasts online followed the events in Yanhai City.

As if someone was controlling them.

"Holy crap! What the hell is that thing? If it's an evil creature, then Yanhai City is really finished."

"Who knows?"

"I've never seen such an evil creature. I think only a god can deal with something like that."

"Look at the leader of the Yanhai City special department, he's dumbfounded."

Somehow, the camera focused on the One-Eyed Man's stunned expression, showing it to all the netizens watching the live broadcast.

This was clearly an act to demoralize them.

Soon, the image changed again.

A group of people appeared on the beach.

Two adults, eleven children.

"Oh no, they're still there. Those children are so pitiful, standing there blankly, not even running away."

"What's wrong with those two adults? Can't they see what's happening?"

"Run!"

"Don't be too harsh. Anyone in this situation would be scared stiff. Even if you told them to run, they wouldn't know where to go."
