349 My Love, I Got You, You Canst Escape (2/2)

At the same time, dozens of miles away, the still shaken Paul didn't have the time to recover his bearing as he saw a bright light from afar quickly approached his position.

With amazing eyesight, Paul's eyes penetrated the darkness of the deep sea and saw that the one who came was just Liu Li, who just now exterminated his team members, alone. However, after that full power sword strike, she still continued with a high-speed chase, which meant that her energy consumption was very alarming, especially since the power of the scepter was also rapidly subsiding, causing the girl's body to continue to shrink.

Being ferociously valiant alone would not last long. Thus, logically, if at this time Paul turned back and fought, his winning chance was actually quite high. Even if he was the most good-for-nothing Holy One, he was, after all, still a Holy One. His power was obviously above Liu Li. Coupled with his high level and the repression that was gradually subsided since he came out of the city of Atlantis, he has no reason to be afraid to fight.

If it were Ferdinand, he would've turned back and fought. However, Paul's guts have already been broken. Seeing that Liu Li was coming at him with irresistible force, he turned around and ran away, not daring to stay.

However, this step was a success by a lucky stroke. In the beginning, Liu Li's speed was faster than him and the distance between the two continued to shorten. However, a moment later, Liu Li was unable to maintain that kind of energy consumption. Her speed continued to become slower and slower, and the distance between the two gradually got bigger and bigger.

In another moment, the power of the scepter completely subsided, and Liu Li returned back to normal. Due to the previous energy outburst, she suffered the blowback internal injury, which caused her to continuously cough out blood. Paul looked back and was overjoyed. If he could capture this woman, he could turn the situation around.

However, just as he turned around to capture Liu Li, he suddenly heard a surging of rumbling sound of seawater behind him, as if a terrifying monster was fast approaching him.

Was it a deep sea beast? Was there one here?

Just as Paul thought about it, he felt a sharp pain in his back. He was bombarded by a burst of violent attack. The next moment, he felt that his body suddenly became buoyant, and then torn to pieces. Then, the endless darkness swallowed him up.

Not far away, Liu Li, who had to stop due to the heavy burden, was surprised to see a burst of dazzling golden light in the front. In the middle of the light, the cone-shaped tower was in a reclined position like a sharp lance, and the tip was laced with Paul's body fragment.

”Aya… Sister, cough, cough!”

Liu Li slightly opened her mouth, but just as she tried to speak, blood gushed out of her mouth and stopped her. The young woman could not stop her cough, she had to bend her slender waist.

Before long, a fully armored Knight King hugged Liu Li, and then reached out to caress her back, trying to soothe the injury.

”Liu Li, no need to speak, leave the rest to me.”

”Mm.” The girl nodded her head, let out a tender groan, and then, no longer able to hold herself, fainted

The Knight King lifted Liu Li up and returned to the vehicle. The vehicle's conical tower body slowly rotated and then gradually accelerated forward. Before long, they arrived at the ruins of Atlantis. In the middle of the ruins, Wang Lu was leaning against a truncated stone pillar, half lying on the ground. He was covered with wounds, down and out and forlorn. However, the smile on his face was exceptionally relaxed.

Seeing the slowly approaching vehicle, Wang Lu shook his head. ”Didn't I tell you to not mind me and just lead the others and go straight to the end?”

Aya jumped out of the vehicle and spoke in dissatisfaction, ”You initially said to leave the rest to me, but you didn't say to leave you and continue the journey.”

Wang Lu said, ”I thought that with your perception, you should've understood what I said.”

Aya refuted with equal harshness, ”I thought that with your understanding, you should understand that I could not leave you no matter what.”

”Tch, you're a disobedient subjugated-country ruler.”

”Hey…”

”Someone who doesn't know how to give up could not be successful. Because you don't understand how to properly cook, when you tried to cook, you always add more useless seasoning, and misses the time on when you should take away the dish from the fire, so you end up always making dark dishes.”

”... Is this how you treat your savior?”

Wang Lu laughed. ”I caught an unexpected captive, so I'm in a good mood and make a joke with you.”

”Captive?”

”Faceless One.”

”What?” Upon hearing that Wang Lu had captured Faceless One, Aya's shock was no less than when Faceless One suddenly appeared and took over Liu Li a while ago. The church's sharpest knife that has caused Aya a headache when he was still frail and weak a century ago has actually been captured?

”You have captured Faceless One? Where is he?”

Wang Lu pointed at his own head and said, ”Here.”
