Seeing that Jun Ran was safe and sound, Jun Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his anger subsided somewhat.

However, he did not want to let any of those who attempted to harm his loved ones get away with it.

Most importantly, these mermaids are not good people, and keeping them around would be a scourge to humanity. Now that he has the power to rid the people of this menace, he should naturally do what he can.

With the help of the Phoenix Clan, his current strength has reached its peak, and he is only one step away from becoming a god. Although the merfolk in front of him are quite strong, they are no match for him.

"Bang bang bang..."

Jun Yu currently has no suitable weapon; the Heaven-Opening Axe is not his magic weapon, and he is also responsible for protecting the unconscious Jun Ran. Therefore, he can only choose to solve the problem with his fists.

Those fists seemed to carry the power to destroy everything. With each punch, those weaker mermaids were instantly pulverized as they pounced, turning into black water that spilled all over the ground.

As for the mermaids with slightly higher strength, they did not fare well under Jun Yu's command. In just a few exchanges, they were severely suppressed and seriously injured, unable to get up.

In just a short moment, the once-powerful mermaid squad was reduced to a lone leader.

"No...impossible!"

Although Jun Yu now looks like a young man, his identity can still be recognized from his outline. The mermaid leader clearly remembers that he was just an ant that could be crushed at will before. How long has it been? His strength has become so powerful!

This is simply illogical!

"Nothing is impossible; human potential far exceeds your image."

Without further ado, Jun Yu quickly stepped forward, grabbed the merman leader's neck, and punched him hard in the face.

"Bang bang bang..."

Punch after punch, relentless attacks, directly turning the once arrogant mermaid leader into a pile of mud.

"hiss…"

He only stopped when the mermaid leader exhaled his last breath and turned into black water.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Outside, the torrential black rain, upon witnessing the dire situation, did not linger at all, as if it possessed consciousness, and quickly fled into the distance.

"Xiao Ran!"

Jun Yu was now completely focused on Jun Ran and couldn't be bothered with the black rain. He turned around and ran back to the cave.

With the danger gone, the Heaven-Opening Axe also deactivated its stealth mode. At this moment, Junran's eyes remained lifeless, as if he had lost his soul.

"Xiao Ran, what's wrong?"

Jun Yu quickly stepped forward and hugged Jun Ran in his arms. It felt like only a few days had passed since he left, but Jun Ran had lost a lot of weight, and even had a stubble around his mouth.

Normally, such a state of dejection would be absolutely impossible for Junran, who is very image-conscious.

"sorry…"

Jun Yu immediately understood the reason. With red eyes, he hugged Jun Ran tightly, and hot tears dripped onto his neck.

Although what Junyu did before was not his original intention and he was deceived, in the end, it was still him who hurt Junran.

He really deserves to die.

"Little...Yu..."

Just then, Junran, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up and called out softly.
