He hated these prodigies more than anything. Why should a little extra talent bring countless opportunities straight to their doorstep? Why should they have a chance to ascend!
Today, he would personally snap this prodigy's path of cultivation in two!
Jiang Lu pressed her lips together. A fierce battle lay ahead. She could stall and look for a chance to escape, but she feared these cultivators would want to end things quickly.
The Little Mermaid had no idea what Jiang Lu was thinking. Seeing the cultivators surround them, malice radiating from their bodies, she immediately bared her teeth, her heart seething with indignation.
This was the second time!
These cultivators wanted to capture them again, to bully them again!
The scar-faced man felt the Little Mermaid's fierce gaze, but rather than being afraid, he burst out laughing. "It really is a merfolk! Hahaha, capture her alive!"
Jiang Lu's heart jolted at his words. She had thought they were after her, yet they wanted to capture the Little Mermaid alive as well. Her heart sank, and her grip on the Little Mermaid's hand tightened.
The Little Mermaid abruptly released Jiang Lu's hand and steadied her small body in the turbulent seawater.
She raised her head toward the dark waters surrounding them and suddenly let out a clear, piercing Merfolk Call.
"Aaaaah—"
Unlike her earlier cry, this roar carried Deep-Sea Royal Power, shaking the entire stretch of sea with a thunderous tremor.
Layer upon layer of towering waves surged in response. Violent currents crashed in every direction, and the transparent barrier trapping the two of them suddenly shook fiercely. Countless tiny cracks spread across its walls, and the barrier swayed as though it would shatter with a crash at any moment.
Jiang Lu's eyes widened. A merfolk's sonic attacks were formidable indeed.
