Chapter 817 - Fierce Battle at High Seas (2/2)
****
Ten thousand meters away from the battle scene.
A cargo ship was floating on the sea, containing a man and a woman dressed in black tuxedos standing atop its roof. The man was tall and handsome yet forceful, while the woman was tender and charming. They were looking at the sea in the distance as though they were able to see through the void. They turned out to be watching the scene of the battle over 10,000 meters away.
“If my guess is correct, those four should be the Chinese legendary Daoist ascetics, Dorot. Only those kinds of people would be able to unleash such a powerful combat power,” said the delicate and pretty woman with a smile as she teased the hair on her temple with her lily-white hands, adding a mature charm to her femininity.
“Hmph, they are the so-called Chinese ascetics indeed,” snorted Dorot. “I once met a brat who was stronger than those four. But that brat was too wild and arrogant, so my Master and his senior brother joined hands to kill him. I wouldn’t have let my Master die at that time due to his heavy injuries if I had possessed my current strength.”
“I don’t think so.” The belle shook her head and said, “Your Master used to be a very powerful ability user in our country, the United States. He also participated in the Crusaders’ eastern expedition; even currently, you are not as good as he once was. Though he passed away due to his severe injuries, you still wouldn’t be able to replace the version of him when he died. In any case, those French ability users are quite capable, like that Waterflood I’m quite acquainted with. I once fought and defeated her, and I know that the six behind her are all ability users of the water attribute. Their combined abilities lead to a drastic increase in power—more than tenfold. So, what do you think? Who will win the showdown in the end, the Chinese or those French Elementalists?”
“No matter who is stronger or weaker, they will not be the ones who will be the final winner,” said Dorot apathetically. “Those French didn’t get anything in three-star vestige, but those Chinese obtained quite a lot. We can’t do anything to them on Haiben Island, but here…. We have to get the things they obtained from the three-star vestige.”
The delicate belle smilingly replied, “Let me do it, but know that you’ll still have to pay the price.”
“Hmph. I know what you want.” Dorot snorted. “You want the water attribute crystals, don’t you? I’ll give them to you. If you’re still not satisfied, I’ll find someone to help you manufacture a water attribute wand after going back.”
The belle’s eyes lit up and replied without hesitation, “Deal!”

Back to the battle scene.
The four experts of the Everlasting Feast Hall had fully unleashed their powers.No matter how imposing and majestic the scenes created by the combined powers of Waterflood and the other Water Elementalists were, they were still far inferior to the Four Divisions Sword Array. Even the French ship was smashed with dozens of fractures created by the sword chops from the violent sword array. The array alone seemed like it was about to solve the predicament, judging by the appearance of the whole ship.
“MOVE AND SEIZE THEIR SHIP!”
The stocky man roared and hurled toward the four experts of the Everlasting Feast Hall. At the same time, the tens of other ability users soared and unleashed each of their powers one after another, launching a fierce attack toward the Tang Family.
The battle was brutal and ruthless with combatants dying here and there.
Despite fighting each other to the death at this time, both sides were trying not to damage the ships. They were aware that whichever side survived the battle would still need the ship to leave this place.

Hundreds of nautical miles away from the battle scene was a yellow sand island. Tang Xiu was silently sitting cross-legged on a reef, continually absorbing the star force from outer space. With his diligent cultivation, his Stars Tyrannical Body cultivation became more profound, and he was only two layers away from achieving perfection.
Kacha, kacha…
A robot bee flickered its metal wings and landed in front of Tang Xiu. As its claws landed on the reef, it finally ejected out some holographic footage.
As Tang Xiu opened his eyes and watched the scene displayed on the holographic footage, his complexion instantly changed. His fingers slid from the virtual screen as a series of strange symbols emerged, the characters and numbers of the Posdoret galaxy.
The numbers displayed the exact distance from his position to the location of the scene displayed on the holographic screen.
“You two, come back!”
Tang Xiu’s figure soared in the sky and looked down, and he shouted to Gu Xiaoxue and Cheng Xuemei from two kilometers away
After some time passed, two figures sprinted quickly. Cheng Xuemei, who sprinted after turning off her gravity suit, was now able to control part of her power. Although her speed was much slower than that of Gu Xiaoxue’s, she was already delighted with it.
“You called for us, Grand Master?” asked Gu Xiaoxue.
Tang Xiu instantly flew toward the Subaquatic Corvette anchored on the shore and left his voice behind, “Return to the Subaquatic Corvette at once. Our people are being attacked hundreds of nautical miles away from us. We must rescue them immediately.”
Our people?
Gu Xiaoxue’s complexion changed. Her figure flashed and instantly appeared next to Cheng Xuemei. Her white-lily-like hands grabbed Cheng Xuemei’s collar and she took her to dash to the Subaquatic Corvette.
“Who are ‘our people’ that we need to rescue, Grand Master?” quickly asked Gu Xiaoxue as she appeared at Tang Xiu’s side.
