Underwater.
Chen Mo was slammed by a massive wave into the silt at the bottom of the river, his entire body sinking half a foot deep.
He opened his eyes underwater. Everything around him was murky, impossible to see clearly. Only two dim crimson lights moved not far away, heading toward him.
The Water Baleful Intent had come.
It was as fast as a fish, reaching him in the blink of an eye.
