One Finger Cleaves the Sea

"Of course I know who he is. He's just the boss of Dragon Blade's three dragon heads, Marshal Xu Yongjun, who back then used his strength alone to press the martial artists and ability users of several countries so hard they couldn't lift their heads!"

When the young man heard Qing Mo's words, his eyes went wide.

When the middle-aged man heard Qing Mo state his name, his past, and even his current position with perfect clarity, his brow furrowed even deeper. He was starting to suspect whether Qing Mo might have been sent by another country...

These were all secrets of the highest level. Aside from those few top-ranking higher-ups who stood at the summit and knew everything, almost no one else knew.

Little Tail, who had originally been gnawing on nuts on the table, sensed a trace of killing intent and immediately jumped from the table into Qing Mo's arms, burrowing swiftly into Qing Mo's pocket.

The young man had just been about to make a move and seize Qing Mo when he realized he couldn't circulate his inner force at all. A second later, he discovered it wasn't only his inner force—even his hands and feet, even his fingers and eyelids, couldn't move.

The young man wasn't the only one in that state. Even Xu Yongjun was more or less the same. The only difference was that Xu Yongjun could still speak.

"I really underestimated you, Qing Mo! I didn't expect you to be able to deal with my subordinate without making a sound! Even I fell into your trap!"

Qing Mo reached into his pocket, placed Little Tail back on the table so it could keep eating, then lit himself another cigarette before finally speaking in a slow, unhurried voice.

"Mr. Qing Mo, please don't be angry! The two of them only had doubts in their hearts!"

When Yang Jinhuan saw how her teammate and leader had suddenly become completely motionless, she more or less understood that it had to be the man before her doing it.

"Jinhuan! What do you mean?"

"Relax. It's only a little trick. The main thing is, you scared this little fellow. It's been with me for a while now, and I'm rather fond of it.

"Miss Yang, Lin Fan, I allow some matters to be revealed, but if you tell these two in front of us, once you walk out this door, keep your mouths sealed tight for me.

"Also, I don't like people coming to bother me. Don't make me say it a third time!"

After Qing Mo finished speaking, he picked Little Tail up, placed it on his shoulder, and left the hotel.

Afterward, Yang Jinhuan and Lin Fan told Xu Yongjun and the young man everything they knew, including the fact that Liu Yurou and Mo Yanyu were currently Qing Mo's people. (They concealed the summoning device Qing Mo had given Lin Fan, as well as the fact that he was the eldest son of the Capital City Lin Family.) After the two men finished listening, the expressions on their faces shifted unpredictably before finally turning into a sigh.

After that, they immediately set out to find Xiao Nantian and Dragon King. As for what they discussed, that was unknown.

Xiangjiang.

Countless people along the coast were looking forward to today's duel between one of the Twin Rain Fairies and Beautiful Country's number one ability user.

Liu Yurou and Mo Yanyu arrived on time, with the woman named Xiao Wu following behind them.

When the crowd saw them, they all consciously made way and opened a path.

"Strange. Master said someone would appear and snatch you away, so how has half a year passed without even a shadow showing up? That shouldn't be right! We've been making quite a ruckus lately. We've gone to every bar and hotel, and even all the gourmet shops!"

When Mo Yanyu heard what Liu Yurou said to her, she shook her head with a wry smile, thinking that this woman enjoyed herself more than anyone whenever they went to those places, eating happier than anyone and playing wilder than anyone.

Suddenly, a small black dot in the distance flew toward Liu Yurou and the others at extreme speed. As time passed, the black dot slowly grew larger, gradually revealing the shape of a person.

It wasn't until he was still several dozen meters away from Liu Yurou that he stopped, hovering in midair above the sea as he looked down at the three of them from on high.

"This is our first meeting, so please allow me to introduce myself. Roth Defu! Number one on Beautiful Country's ability-user rankings!

"I didn't expect the Twin Rain Fairies to be as their name suggests. You truly are beautiful! Before I came, I had originally planned to just play around casually. But now I've changed my mind. I've decided I want both of you fairies to become my brides at the same time!

"I know you women all like powerful men, and by coincidence, the strongest man is me!"

When Xiao Wu, who stood behind Liu Yurou and Mo Yanyu, heard this ability user speak like that, her fists instantly clenched. She hated that she was too weak before him. Otherwise, if anyone dared treat her big sister and big boss like this, she would have long since cut this person into a thousand pieces.

"Are you done spouting nonsense? Are we fighting or not? You want the two of us to be your brides? You don't even have the qualifications to lick that man's shoes! You? Worthy?"

"I know you don't believe me, but it doesn't matter! In a moment, you'll be conquered by my strength! But I am rather curious—who is that man you're talking about?"

At first, Roth hadn't cared about Mo Yanyu's words. He had only thought she was being stubborn and that in a moment, she would be conquered by his immense power. That was until he heard about that man from Mo Yanyu's mouth.

He was a proud man. He did not allow the women he had set his eyes on to have another man in their hearts. If there was one, he would make that man disappear from this world.

"Enough! Stop jabbering! If you're going to fight, hurry up!"

Liu Yurou didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore. She still had a reservation later for a gourmet shop's limited specialty. Once she ate it, she could properly end her Xiangjiang itinerary.

"Then ladies first."

"Wait~"

Roth had only just finished speaking when a powerful spiritual pressure came from the distance. Everyone present except Roth, who was floating in the air, and Liu Yurou lowered their heads and clutched their chests with their hands.

"That woman—This Venerable One is taking her away!"

A middle-aged woman dressed in ancient-style clothing appeared before everyone, her finger pointing straight at Mo Yanyu.

Because Roth was closest to her, even after unleashing his own ability to the fullest, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Who are you?"

Boom~

The middle-aged woman casually waved her hand and directly slapped Roth, who was in the air, into the sea.

When the crowd saw Beautiful Country's number one ability user slapped into the sea with a casual wave, even raising waves nearly ten meters high, their eyes nearly bulged out. They couldn't believe the scene happening before their eyes.

"An ant is unworthy of asking This Venerable One's name!"

Before the waves had even fallen, the middle-aged woman made a move, reaching out to grab Mo Yanyu.

However, the scene of Mo Yanyu being caught and pulled to her side did not happen. Instead, the woman herself wore a terrified expression as she looked at Liu Yurou, who had one hand clamped around her neck. The spiritual power throughout her entire body had been sealed in an instant, and right now, she was completely and utterly like an ordinary mortal!

She was completely stunned!

"The person Master mentioned should be you! Another one trying to take a shortcut!"

When the middle-aged woman heard Liu Yurou's words, even though she was currently completely under someone else's control, cold sweat still poured uncontrollably down her back.

She had never expected that the Supreme Elder of her sect, after expending such tremendous effort to divine Mo Yanyu's location, and after she herself had tried her best to bring her back as quickly as possible, would end up with her being captured alive before they had even properly met!

Boom—

"Fark! Smelly women!"

(Fuck, smelly women. Vocabulary provided by Baidu!)

Laos suddenly shot out of the sea. He had been planning to give that middle-aged woman a vicious lesson, but the moment he came up, he saw the person he wanted to teach a lesson being held effortlessly by the neck in Liu Yurou's hand. His rage was instantly extinguished as if a basin of ice water had been poured over it!

"You said just now, ladies first! Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Watching Laos charge out of the sea, Liu Yurou gave him no time to react at all. Her right hand formed a sword-finger, and she slashed in Laos's direction!

The surface of the sea was carved by Liu Yurou's Sword Qi into an abyss whose end could not be seen. The entire ocean was split in two, and even the small island in the distance met the same fate. The seawater on both sides poured into the fissure like waterfalls!

Aside from Mo Yanyu, whose mouth hung wide open, almost everyone was so frightened by the scene before them that they collapsed to the ground. The middle-aged woman whose neck Liu Yurou was gripping was scared straight into unconsciousness!

This scene was recorded from beginning to end by some electronic devices, under the title "One Finger Cleaves the Sea"!

Of course, all of that came later!
