"Hmm? Something's not right?" Wendy, with her sharp eyes, noticed something in the ruins behind Vanan that looked like a human figure. But could anyone really survive in the deep sea?
Moreover, the ruins are remarkably well-preserved, with almost no damage, suggesting that someone still lived there, and that person must have been quite powerful, otherwise they couldn't have lived underwater for so long unharmed. "Grandpa, I need to go down and help," Wendy said, startling Zhong Li.
I really can't believe that my old friend, who's usually so lazy and unambitious, would actually offer to help.
"Hmm... Be careful." Zhongli also put a shield on Wendy, who went straight into the sea and soon arrived at Xiao and Fanan's side.
Underwater, Vanan had launched another attack on Xiao. The two were so engrossed in their fight that they had no time to spare. Moreover, Wendy had transformed into a wind spirit and merged into the seawater, making her almost invisible to the naked eye.
The manipulators behind it probably never expected that their own backside would be exposed.
"Found you." A soft whisper came in his ear, startling the controller. He saw a person appear behind him at some point, who smiled and greeted him. The controller's hand involuntarily stopped.
Outside, Vanan suddenly stopped attacking, and Xiao was also forced to stop attacking. Turning his head, he saw Wendy confronting someone. Xiao suddenly blushed. He had been so focused on Vanan that he hadn't noticed anything unusual around him. Moreover, if the person Wendy was facing was powerful and put Wendy in danger, Xiao would feel guilty.
"How did you find it?" The manipulator's mouth didn't move, but his voice could be heard. Wendy raised an eyebrow. Oh ho, this young man knows some mysterious tricks?
“Even if you’re covered by the sea, the wind will still linger around you, so I’ve come.” Wendy mimicked the other’s way of speaking, and the manipulator’s expression suddenly turned cold. He waved his hands, and the Vanan that had been motionless outside suddenly moved. Xiao was about to go to Wendy’s side when he was suddenly attacked by Vanan’s claws. Although he tried his best to dodge, he was still left with a shallow cut.
Karmic obstacles, along with crimson blood, drifted across the sea, attracting the attention of sea monsters lurking in the deep. Xiao immediately created a vacuum in front of him, allowing him to breathe while preventing the blood from floating around in the sea.
"Xiao!" Wendy's eyes widened slightly, but before she could think any further, she jumped up. Below her were Vanan's enormous claws.
Oh dear, how could I forget about Grandpa's shield? I shouldn't have dodged it. Those sharp claws of hers... I should have let Grandpa's shield trim them for her. Look at the child, so pitiful, she can't even cut her nails. Wendy belatedly realized her mistake.
The operator intended to control Fanan to continue the attack, but was shocked to find that a sudden gust of wind had surrounded the entire ruins, forming a square space. The seawater in the space was thrown onto the sea surface. Some sea beasts that had approached Xiao were swept onto the sea surface by this operation.
"Who am I? Where am I? Where is this place? Mommy, I want to go back to the sea." The poor sea beast's little eyes were filled with confusion. Wasn't it in the sea just now? How did it get swept up here all of a sudden? It moved its thick body, intending to jump down directly, but when it saw that there was nothing below, not even a sea, the sea beast was so frightened that it shrank back.
Wendy: What are you opening? Sea monster: I'm splitting open.
"Hahaha, the upstairs is hilarious."
"Sea Beast: The battle between gods is too outrageous. We mere mortals are not suited to participate in such a struggle."
"Wendy is so kind. He even left a little space for the sea monster so it wouldn't die. I really cried."
The livestream viewers were laughing uncontrollably at the sea monster's pitiful state, though some were also worried about Wendy. Her face had visibly paled after all that, but she still straightened her back and wiped away imaginary sweat. "Hmm, although stirring up the ocean was a bit strenuous, it's okay, I really worked hard~"
Air was continuously flowing down from above, so Xiao stopped holding his breath to fight, and Fanan and the Manipulator lost their home-field advantage. The situation was slowly tilting in Wendy's favor.
"Vanan..." Xiao's gaze didn't fall on Vanan, but instead on the manipulator. With the Nuo mask on its face, it thrust its two wind-wheel-like blades directly at the manipulator's face. To protect itself, the manipulator could only pull Vanan in front of it, forcing Xiao to stop its attack, but its eyes turned even colder as it looked at the manipulator.
"How despicable! They saw that Xiao Bao couldn't bear to hurt this older sister, so they used her as a shield!"
"That's despicable! They're not even human!"
"He doesn't seem to be human. Have you ever seen anyone who can live underwater for so long?"
"That's true."
"Don't get off-topic. Wendy is keeping a close eye on Xiao Bao and making sure he doesn't get hurt. I'm still waiting for your wedding banquet."
"The person upstairs is using the name of 'not leaning to the side' to go off-topic, so I've reported them."
"The wind's picking up~" Wendy separated Vanan from the pilot, using the wind to pull Vanan towards herself, ensuring Xiao's next actions were unhindered. Just then, the old man also came down. "Leave her to me." Zhongli, standing on the rocky ridge, stretched out his arms to Wendy. Without hesitation, Wendy handed Vanan to Zhongli. Zhongli returned to the ship, giving the pilot a cold glance before leaving; his golden eyes flashed with fury, their power shaking the world.
The manipulator scoffed, and a group of corpses flew out of the ruins. After careful examination, Xiao confirmed that there were no other Yakshas, only mortals. Although they were dead, their expressions showed that they had died restless and had been turned into puppets by this person using forbidden techniques.
Even after his death, Fa Nan could not find peace. Were other generals also suffering such torment?
"Today, you will die here." As he spoke, Xiao's figure moved, instantly appearing in front of the manipulator. However, the manipulator was also on guard, and a puppet appeared in front of Xiao, blocking Xiao's attack.
Meanwhile, Xiao was slowly surrounded by puppets. The Nuo mask was still on his face, and his mind was filled with the screams of vengeful spirits and the whispers of demons.
"here!"
"inability!"
"useless!"
"Die!"
Xiao quickly dealt with the puppets, but more puppets slowly surrounded him. This manipulator seemed to have an endless number of puppets. If it came to a protracted battle, he would definitely lose.
