Bang—!
The wall burst open from a single point in an instant, then collapsed over a large area... Wang Hu stepped through the breach—a direct way to travel, charging straight through.
The hand that had pierced Zhong Luochen's chest and abdomen with black water had just withdrawn—Wang Hu had happened to witness that scene.
He merely glanced at Zhong Luochen, who lay in a pool of blood... Wang Hu did not know this human, so he naturally had no interest in him. Whether the man was alive or dead was not within his current considerations.
Therefore, as far as Wang Hu was concerned, he had not arrived a step too late.
Black Water's expression remained cold and detached. Her attack had just taken a human life... Yes, merely a human. To her, Zhong Luochen was nothing more than a dispensable human.
She could not say that she hated humans beyond measure, but she certainly had no great fondness for them... If not for humanity's endless development, she might still be living peacefully in the Primeval Forest, and the cubs she had taken in would not have been left homeless.
She had always exercised restraint because the True Dragon had once imposed a rule. Later, after being driven out of Yang Taizi's temple, she had come here, hoping to live in relative peace on the True Dragon's territory.
But someone had actually reached out toward her children. That was tantamount to challenging her already fragile, nearly nonexistent bottom line. Along the way, she had first seen the corpses of those brutally murdered, then the children treated like white mice, and finally Piggy's tearful account.
She did not feel that she had gone too far. She had merely killed one mastermind... Black Water had no intention of committing too much Killing Sin.
