Chapter 785 - In Despair (2/2)

Wang Rui, who was resisting the onslaught of the enemy could feel the pressure turn lighter all of a sudden. Yet he didn’t feel happy in the slightest when he watched several of his enemies being killed directly. He knew perfectly well that the loss was too heavy even if they completely annihilated the Savage Mammoth’s people. All the men he brought here were ordinarily top-notch experts. Several of them had been killed just a step away from reaching the grandmaster level.

“Interesting.”

An erratic voice drifted from an old man on the bow of the liner. A hazy figure flashed as the silver-haired old man suddenly appeared in front of the old man expert who had slaughtered the men in black robes. Sharp scales that were more than 10 centimeters long protruded from his spine and two black sharp horns drilled out of his head as he pierced the back of his clothes. His aura kept surging out as he pressed forward toward the old man in front of him.

“Where did this freaking monster come from?”

A cold gleam flashed in the eyes of the Qingcheng Mountain’s old man. His longsword moved, creating layers of undulating and overlapping sword images, instantly shrouding the entirety of the silver-haired old man’s body.

The silver-haired old man maniacally laughed. He raised his arms and hacked down against the longsword’s strikes with his arms that were entirely covered with scales. At this moment, however, the silver-haired old man’s laughter suddenly came to an end as the scales on his arms were torn apart, revealing bones under two deep cuts that splashed with his blood.

“SCRAM!!!”

Right as his arms were wounded, the silver-haired old man’s eyes were filled with a vicious, fiendish, and yet bewitching charm. He blasted forward to deliver another heavy blow toward the Qingcheng Mountain’s old man. The enormous impact force was too sudden for the latter to avoid it as the blow hit his body, sending him flying and spurting out a mouthful of blood. The face of Qingcheng Mountain’s old man drastically changed and he kept onto his sword while stabilizing his figure, pushing back the silver-haired old man and then flashed to appear in front of Wang Rui.

“You’re screwed, brat. When and where did you provoke these monsters?”

Wang Rui watched the battle between these two old men from afar a moment ago. His heart violently shook after finding out that his family elder had been injured. He was perfectly aware of how powerful his elder was as the old man had broken through the grandmaster stage and reached a higher level.

“They have injected themselves with the genes of beasts and thus become mutated humans with the respective beasts’ abilities.”

Qingcheng Mountain’s old man sharply exhaled. He grabbed Wang Rui and dragged him as he dashed into the cabin in a flash. After throwing Wang Rui inside, he proudly stood in the entrance into the cabin and fiercely shouted, “Hey, old codger over there. Let’s have a talk!”

“You wanna negotiate with me?” Contempt flickered inside the silver-haired man’s eyes along with hostility as he smiled densely, “What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me, huh?”

“Hmph.” The Qingcheng Mountain’s old man coldly snorted and said, “You’re very formidable and are slightly stronger than my current cultivation level. That I admit. But you should also be aware of the fact that you also won’t survive today if I decided to go all out and perish together with you. I don’t know what hostility we have against each other, but I think we both should stop right here and now. Let’s get it straight to clear any misunderstanding between us.”

The silver-haired old man fell into silence. He was also aware of the terrifying strength his opponent possessed. Most importantly, he only had limited time to maintain his mutated body, only for at most 10 minutes and he would be suppressed if he couldn’t figure out the means to kill the enemy within this span of time.

“I want her dead!” The silver-haired man suddenly turned around and pointed to Viviani.

The Qingcheng Mountain’s old man glanced at Viviani and immediately furrowed his brows before turning to Wang Rui and shouting, “Tell me, does this foreign woman have something to do with you?”

“She’s a friend!” Wang Rui’s heart kept sinking inside the cabin. Never would he have imagined that even though his family elder had acted, he had no means to completely annihilate Savage Mammoths’ people. He had so little choice and had to rely on his last hope of negotiating with the enemy.

He realized he probably had no means to protect Viviani as he promised.

The Qingcheng Mountain’s old man coldly snorted. He immediately took a fast glance at Viviani and said, “This person is not our people, kill her as you like. But I have one condition. You can’t kill her on our ship!”

“No problem.” The silver-haired old man nodded.

With that said, he waved to the two men in black robes. The two men sprinted to Viviani’s front and stabbed her shoulders with sharp nails, then quickly dragged her onto the fishing boat.

The silver-haired old man then nodded toward the Qingcheng Mountain’s old man and smiled densely, “You’re very formidable Monseigneur. I hope we’ll have another opportunity to fight again. China, however, is a territory forbidden to us, so I very much hope that you can visit and sightsee in Europe.”

“I’ll surely visit Europe should there be an opportunity. No worries there” sneered the Qingcheng Mountain’s old man.

The silver-haired man strangely chuckled a couple of times and then blasted onto the fishing boat like a cannon shell. In a heavy tone, he ordered out without glancing at the captured Viviani, “Go back!”

At this time, Viviani’s heart died and all her hopes dissipated. She had been completely abandoned, yet she had neither resentment nor complaint. She realized that neither Wang Rui nor the Qingcheng Mountain’s old man was able to protect and keep her.

‘Perhaps this is the best ending! Though it’s a pity that I can never see him again. I can’t tell him myself that I’ve killed several of my enemies…’
