"This guy... looks familiar."

Separated by one-way explosion-proof glass.

Jiangnan's gaze was fixed on the little black-haired girl.

Her name is Jiang Li, a name Jiangnan casually gave her after rescuing her during the Blue Star Trial.

At this moment, this Sequence 000 [The Fool] looks just like an ordinary human cub.

However, looking at the other person's innocent profile...

Jiangnan felt a strange sense of familiarity.

It made it impossible for him to ignore.

Just as Jiangnan was wondering if the other person could really see him through the one-way glass,

Jiang Li seemed to have grown tired of the Rubik's Cube in her hand. She casually tossed it aside and turned away.

With his back to Jiangnan, he continued to play with the metal railings on the hospital bed.

It was as if the eye contact they had just exchanged was merely an illusion from Jiangnan.

"No... it's definitely not an illusion."

Jiangnan remained secretly certain in her heart.

He was about to push the door open and go in to take a closer look.

"Beep beep beep!"

Suddenly, the tablet computer that Shen Lian had been holding started to flicker with static.

"Ah!"

Immediately following, Shen Lian exclaimed in surprise.

A holographic little figure actually popped out of the tablet screen!

It's Berris.

She sat down on the edge of the tablet as if nothing had happened and waved to Jiangnan.

"Hey! Thunder Living Person! Stop spacing out!"

"Berris has just detected biological signals and high-energy fluctuations in the sea area ten kilometers away from us!"

She rubbed her hands together excitedly and made the suggestion.

"It must be two groups fighting at sea!"

"Berris, do you think we should go over there and join in the fun?"

"Fierce battle..."

Jiangnan stopped pushing the door open, rubbed his chin, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ten kilometers away, near the Third Sea Region of Prayer Deep Pool.

Those fighting in this area near the Deep Pool Fortress are definitely not ordinary people.

Moreover, Jiangnan was there before he came to Shenchi.

However, they had already laid an important piece in this sea area beforehand.

That high-energy fluctuation might just be her...

How long until the Machine God is fully charged?

Jiangnan tossed out a note and asked.

Berris waved her hand dismissively.

"Don't even mention it! Hydropower charging is too slow; it won't be fully charged until at least tonight!"

"But it's okay, we won't Machine God, we can just take your minivan!"

"Berris, look at that car! It can not only run on land, but it's also amphibious!"

Jiangnan nodded, thinking it was a good suggestion.

The Machine God is too large a target and would easily alert the enemy; a surprise attack in a motorhome would be perfect.

At this moment, Lin Bayi walked over quickly.

"Wait, Mr. Dragon God, if you are going to launch an attack, I hope you can wait ten minutes before setting off."

Lin Bayi pointed to the narrow strip of land outside the window.

"This area is easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it ideal as a temporary supply point for our main force."

"According to the map, our next step is to directly confront [Deep Pool Fortress]."

"We'll definitely encounter a lot of monsters along the way, so we need to deploy our forces."

Shen Lian immediately adjusted her glasses and added, "That's right, Mr. Dragon God."

"This time China has transported a large number of heavy artillery pieces and coastal defense missiles."

"Give us ten minutes to set up our position, and we can provide long-range fire support."

"Good."

Jiangnan agreed without any hesitation.

This was a war in itself, and with the firepower support of the regular army, he was naturally happy to have some peace and quiet.

"The bus will depart on time in ten minutes."

At the same time.

Ten kilometers away, on the Surging Waves Third Sea Region.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of cannons echoed across the sea.

"Aaaaaah! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"

You damned bastards!

On the deck of the [Purple Treasure], Janet, the former captain and current mascot.

She was covering her head with her hat as she fled through a hail of bullets, her heart aching as she ran.

"My precious little boat! This is a boat I've spent my entire life savings maintaining!"

"I'm almost riddled with holes by your shells! Waaaaah..."

Behind her, however, was a bloody and brutal battle between overwhelming odds!

"Whoosh!"

A silver spear, like a dragon emerging from the sea, carves a silver river through the torrential rain!

It was a female general wearing silver soft armor.

She is none other than Lu Jin, the vice-captain of the Lianghai Pirate Group, known as the number one staff and spear master in the Dragon Xia Imperial City!

Their strength is terrifying; they're at least a top-tier expert!

"Wu Shuang! Lu Zhihui! How long are you two going to remain so stubborn?!"

Lu Jin held a silver spear, its thrusts as swift as a dragon.

While Suppression the two men rushing towards him, he coldly urged them to surrender.

"Sister Song Gongyao has already found a bright future for our Lianghai Pirate Group!"

"Lord Gao Nantong promised us high-ranking positions and generous salaries, and offered us amnesty and surrender!"

"It's better than spending my whole life as a sea ghost, never seeing the light of day!"

"Put down your weapons immediately and come back with me to report!"

"Bullshit!"

A furious roar rang out!

There stood a female nun wearing a tattered robe, her eyes wide open!

She is none other than [Lu Zhihui]!

At that moment, a tattoo of a fierce-looking Vajra on her arm was glowing with golden light!

Let her power increase infinitely!

"Boom!"

Lu Zhihui slammed his fist on the deck, knocking back the surrounding soldiers, and pointed at Lu Jin, cursing loudly.

"That hypocritical slut Song Gongyao!"

"She keeps saying she's doing this for her sisters, but behind our backs she's just using us as a stepping stone to get promoted Fortune!"

"Don't you know what kind of scoundrel Gao Nantong is?!"

"Even if I die, I will never be that scoundrel's lackey!"

"Sister is right! Enough talk, take this!"

Nearby, a one-armed woman shouted angrily.

Wu Shuang's left shoulder lacked an arm; instead, a large sword had been attached to it!

"Whoosh!"

Wu Shuang used her shoulder as a pivot, slashing her broadsword at Lu Jin like a whirlwind!

However, Lu Jin's strength was simply too great.

She snorted coldly, and with a light flick of her silver spear, she deflected Wu Shuang's broadsword.

He swung the gun barrel backhand and struck Lu Zhihui in the chest, sending her staggering back several steps.

Even when the two joined forces, they were utterly powerless against Lu Jin!

On the other side of the battlefield, the situation was equally tense and...

Weird.

"Belch..."

A gloomy woman with a dejected look on her face was holding a wine jug and tilting her head back to gulp down a mouthful of strong liquor.

She is another fierce general in the pirate crew [Yang Zhi].

"Lin Ying... you should just surrender... hiccup... what's the point of fighting and killing..."

Yang Zhi hiccuped, her eyes glazed over, and swayed unsteadily on the deck, fueled by the alcohol.

But by a hair's breadth, he dodged the fatal blow that was aimed directly at him!

That's her ability.

The more alcohol you drink, the higher your evasion rate becomes, almost reaching the level of absolute evasion!

"Shut up! You coward!"

Across from them, a woman with a cold and aloof demeanor gritted her teeth and angrily rebuked them.

She is [Lin Ying].

He was once the top instructor of the 800,000-strong Imperial Guard of Dragon Xia Imperial City.

Later, because her beloved husband was forcibly taken away and occupied by that beast Gao Nantong, she became an outlaw in a fit of rage.

"Sizzle!"

Lin Ying's face split open!

A spear pierced through the inside of her split cheek!

Anyone who gets stabbed in the face by this gun, no matter who they are, will be Banishment to the deep seabed!

However, facing Yang Zhi's Hacker evasion, Lin Ying's attacks missed every time, leaving her sweating profusely with anxiety.

She restrained herself.

As Yang Zhi dodged, she clutched the wine jug and gave a bitter, pitiful smile.

"Me, a coward? Yes, I am a coward..."

"Back in the martial arts school..."

"My crush on Senior Brother Chen Mo for ten whole years was stolen by that foreigner!"

"They... they even got married right in front of me!"

Yang Zhi became increasingly distressed as she spoke, tears mingling with her wine as they streamed down her face.

"Later, I even lost the imperial birthday tribute..."

"My life is ruined!"

"But I'm not reconciled! I'm clearly the better one!"

"As long as I can return to the capital as soon as possible..."

"Even if it's just letting me hide in a corner and catch one last glimpse of that heartless senior brother from afar, that would be enough..."

"..."

After hearing these emo words, Lin Ying fell silent for a moment.

"Simp."

She merely uttered a disdainful sneer before launching another attack.

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate...

In the very center of the battlefield, stood the figure of a married woman dressed in tattered business attire.

They are struggling to hold on amidst the encirclement and suppression by hundreds of officers and soldiers.

It is indeed [Zhang Yan]!

"Trying to catch me? Dream on!"

Zhang Yan's eyes flashed fiercely as she threw out a ring [Cosmic Ring] with her left hand!

"Buzz!"

The ring was enlarged, binding together the dozen or so soldiers at the forefront, rendering them unable to move!

Immediately afterwards, she gripped the [Godslayer Spear] tightly in her right hand!

"Burn it!"

Zhang Yan activated the power of the Godslayer Spear.

Burn your soul in exchange for invincible power!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

The black spearhead pierced through the chests of the bound officers and soldiers.

Accompanied by screams of agony as their souls burned, more than a dozen soldiers were instantly reduced to ashes!

After several days of fierce fighting, she has completely mastered these two weapons!

Zhang Yan mastered the combination technique of binding first and then killing.

But unfortunately, there were just too many enemies!

Soldiers and officers from the Deep Pool Fortress poured onto the deck in an endless stream.

There were even gunboats providing continuous Suppression fire from behind.

Zhang Yan was no match for the four opponents, and her strength was rapidly depleting; several bloody marks had already appeared on her body.

Behind a wooden barrel at the edge of the deck.

A man was hiding in the shadows, secretly observing everything.

He is [Hislay] or...

The sixth seat of the Desolate God Society... [The Clown]!

"Tsk tsk tsk... That woman named Lu Jin is really too strong."

"Lu Zhihui and Wu Shuang are about to collapse."

The Clown stroked his chin. "The Godslayer Spear in Zhang Yan's woman's hand, if I'm not mistaken, definitely belongs to the Dragon God."

"If I help her, I can use the Dragon God to take revenge on Gao Nantong and Gao Qiu!"

The Clown is restless; he's a very vengeful person.

There is absolutely no way I could forget the humiliation they inflicted upon me.

But now...

They were clearly at a disadvantage, and Zhang Yan and her team were about to collapse.

"Should we make a move...?"

The Clown hesitated.

Sudden!

"Buzz buzz buzz!!!"

A deafening roar pierced through the gunfire and reached the ears of everyone present!

What was that sound?

The Clown paused for a moment, then turned to look at the sea.

When he could see the distant view clearly, he rubbed his eyes hard.

I wondered if I was hallucinating because I was too nervous.

"A minivan... it's speeding across the sea?!"

He wasn't mistaken!

That was definitely a minivan!

It even has a waterproof little GG sticker on it!

At this moment, air jets were shooting out from under the van's tires, ignoring the buoyancy of the seawater.

A white wave was drawn across the sea, rushing straight towards the battlefield!

"Enemy attack!"

The officers and soldiers of Deep Pool Fortress were terrified, and several gunboats immediately turned their cannons around in an attempt to intercept them.

However, the van was going way too fast!

It used the two gunboats blocking its way as a speed bump!

With a deafening roar, it crushed over them!

"Snap!"

The two gunboats were instantly broken in half by the impact and sank to the bottom of the sea!

"Who dares to interfere in Liang Hai's affairs?!"

On the deck, Lu Jin, who was preparing to shoot Wu Shuang down with a single shot, caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye and flew into a rage.

She sheathed her silver spear, unleashed her aura, and turned to defend herself!

But...

Her movements were still too slow.

"Sizzle!"

A clap of thunder sounded the instant the van door opened!

A figure shot out from the RV with lightning speed!

Of course, "lightning-fast" here isn't an adjective...

It's a physical description!

The man, covered in lightning armor, transformed into a streak of purple lightning and appeared before Lu Jin!

"So fast!"

Lu Jin's pupils suddenly contracted.

Before he could even raise his gun to block, he only saw a flash of purple light!

"Bang!"

An elbow strike landed squarely on Lu Jin's chest!

"Puff!"

Lu Jin's silver soft armor on her chest was shattered and dented!

She was thrown dozens of meters away and fell into the sea; her fate is unknown!

The entire hall was deathly silent!

Whether it was the pirates who fought desperately or the government soldiers.

Even the Clown hiding behind the barrel, preparing to cast a spell, was watching this back view.

"Sizzle!"

As the person straightened up, the purple lightning covering their body quickly faded away.

His tall, straight figure and his cold, expressionless profile were revealed.

Surrounded in the center of the crowd, Zhang Yan, covered in blood, froze for a second when she saw the figure's back.

Immediately, the Godslayer Spear in her hand fell onto the deck.

A look of wild joy erupted from that blood-stained face.

"Boss!"

Yang Zhi, standing at the other end of the deck, was still holding the large wine jug in her hands.

But when she saw with her own eyes that Lu Jin had been instantly killed by this man with a single elbow strike...

"Hiss!"

Yang Zhi's hair stood on end!

"What the hell! What kind of monster is this man?!"

She screamed inwardly, and instantly sobered up.

Although Yang Zhi is a decadent girl who drinks to drown her sorrows when she encounters emotional setbacks, she is not stupid!

The instant kill of Lu Jin was even more terrifying than Gao Nantong at the Deep Pool Fortress!

"No... I can't die here!"

"I haven't returned to the capital yet... I haven't seen Senior Brother Chen Mo one last time!"

Yang Zhi gritted her teeth; her will to survive overcame everything.

Without any hesitation, she turned around, clutching the wine jug, and darted toward the edge of the deck!

If she jumps into the sea and uses the wind and waves as cover, she'll surely be able to escape with her swimming skills!

"Whoosh!"

Yang Zhi leaped up, her fingertips almost touching the seawater.

However, how could her every move escape Jiangnan's eyes?

Upon hearing Zhang Yan address him as "boss, "Jiangnan simply nodded.

He strode over to Zhang Yan.

Yu Guangzhong naturally caught a glimpse of the gloomy figure attempting to jump into the sea to escape.

"Trying to escape?"

Jiangnan remained expressionless, then flicked his right toe!

"Bang!"

The butt of the [Godslayer Spear] that had fallen onto the deck bounced up.

It spun twice in mid-air before being caught in Jiangnan's hand!

Then go down!

"Buzz!"

The Cosmic Ring was lifted up and thrown diagonally above Jiangnan's head.

The next second!

Jiangnan gripped the gun handle with both hands and hit a home run at the Cosmic Ring in mid-air!

"When!"

The sound echoed through the night sky!

The Cosmic Ring unleashed a sonic boom, shooting towards the direction Yang Zhi had fled!

In mid-air.

Just as Yang Zhi was about to fall into the water, she heard a whooshing sound behind her!

"A hidden weapon?!"

She was terrified, but not in despair.

"It's no use! I got stronger by drinking, and my evasion is maxed out!"

Yang Zhi let out a cold laugh in her heart.

She took another big gulp of wine, her body swaying wildly in mid-air.

This is her trump card!

With this ability to dodge, no matter how dense the hail of bullets...

No matter how tricky the cold weapon, she was confident she could perfectly miss!

But...

She miscalculated one thing.

No matter how high the skill level, the underlying logic of dodging is ultimately based on probability.

Even with a 99.9% dodge rate, there's still a tiny chance of missing.

But the [Cosmic Ring] that Jiangnan played...

But there's no probability involved!

Because it has a lock!

"Buzz!"

Just as Yang Zhi thought she had dodged the golden light!

The Cosmic Ring actually stopped mid-air and turned to head towards her!

"What?!"

Yang Zhi was stunned.

"No!"

"Snap!"

The Cosmic Ring expands, then contracts!

There was absolutely no room for maneuver!

It was put on Yang Zhi and tied her up!

"Thump!"

Water splashed everywhere.

Yang Zhi did indeed fall into the sea as she had hoped...
