Chapter 1078: Chapter 41: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes!
"Finally caught the opportunity."
Walking out from the ocean, the Sea King stared at Lin Haifeng who was waiting sternly ahead, his eyes slowly squinting, a murderous aura gradually emerging.
He had endured this for a long, long time...
"Cough cough..."
The Demigod was still half-kneeling on the beach, coughing nonstop, but the sign of coughing blood had disappeared, and the piercing wound on his forehead was gradually fading.
As Lin Haifeng said, the Demigod did not have a vital point.
The Sea King glanced at the Demigod, then asked casually, "So, Lord Kuangliu, can I kill him?"
"As you wish, as long as you can kill him."
"Lord Kuangliu’s" tone was calm, and after saying this, he added immediately, "If I were you, I would consider how to survive in the hands of this old thing. Don’t forget, he is the king of the Yanjing Assembly Site. Through his hands, he has cultivated at least a hundred Limit Breakthrough Level powerful experts. Hehe, guess how strong this guy himself is? And guess again, does he have a resurrection method?"
The Sea King shrugged, appearing indifferent, but from the gradually rising muscles, it was faintly evident that the Sea King had begun to take Lin Haifeng seriously.
"Now, your task is to block Lin Haifeng and Fran. As long as the plan succeeds, retreat immediately. I’ll go ahead, as Yanjing still needs me to stabilize the situation."
After saying this, the Demigod immediately activated the Netherworld and flickered toward the direction of the Yanjing Assembly Site.
...
"Lord Kuangliu..."
The conversation between the Demigod and the Sea King echoed in his ears. Lin Haifeng squinted his eyes, watching Kuangliu’s departure, then his mind raced.
The Heart-eating Worm (mother) connected to him had no fluctuations, and the aura fluctuations of the Heart-eating Worm (child) were still stable — moreover, inside the "Sea King" in front of him.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Haifeng suddenly smiled.
"Indeed, the Sea King Tribe... Hm, the Sea King Tribe..."
The Sea King Tribe, inherently a type of marine mollusk, possesses a terrifying racial trait — extracting DNA from organisms and then altering their body form. Their current appearance closely resembles the Ancient Demon due to extracting the DNA of the Ancient Demon Tribe...
However, in essence, they are just mollusks in the ocean, like jellyfish or marine insects...
Speaking of insects, Lin Haifeng’s thoughts wandered, and he thought of Wen Yu’s Soul Pet No. 6 — Luo Luo.
The population of the Sea King Tribe has always been small, but oddly enough, they have excellent qualifications — disproportionately good in fact — with over a tenth being divine beast types and over one percent being Breakthrough Achievers.
This completely defies logic.
Coupled with the unresponsive Heart-eating Worm...
"So, is it the Amalgamated Willpower Entity of the tribe? You’re just the executor of the tribal will entity as the apparent Sea King."
This judgment is indeed somewhat arbitrary, but Lin Haifeng found the truth from the "Sea King"’s face...
"Indeed..."
Lin Haifeng sighed silently, not disheartened, instead recalling every bit of this matter.
"Then the first question, why would my son get involved with the Sea King? I understand the Sea King hates me, Kuangliu hates me, too, but hatred... No no no, it can’t be that simple."
Suddenly, Lin Haifeng recalled the fleeting Origin Energy from the Demigod just now.
A glimmer named insight arose in Lin Haifeng’s eyes; he suddenly looked up at the sky — still a clear blue...
"Earth’s will... Son of Earth, Tang Haofei..."
"Then the second question, why did Kuangliu incite Lin Tianxue to cause trouble... With such existence’s backing, Kuangliu could easily release Tang Haofei... Let me guess... Oh... Wants to involve the powerful experts of Yanjing, preventing them from aiding me. So my role should disrupt their certain step, hm, not a wise intervention, the Demigod has Origin Energy, enough for a short burst to release Tang Haofei, and I simply can’t react... So... Oh, I understand, it’s the control authorization of the Eternal Sky City!! Not just releasing Tang Haofei but wanting Tang Haofei to perfectly control the Eternal Sky City..."
"Then the final question..."
"Why do you need the Eternal Sky City... Are you so uneasy with it in our hands?"
"No... Wait... not because of us, but because..."
"Kill him! Quickly kill him!"
The Sea King suddenly roared, while Lin Haifeng calculated silently in his heart, it seemed to fall completely on the Sea King’s ears!
As soon as the words fell, the fires of war ignited!
Behind the "Sea King," the waves quickly rolled, then surged up, transforming into a sky-covering giant wave madly sweeping toward Lin Haifeng. Facing this ocean’s wrath, Lin Haifeng merely glanced behind him.
Behind Lin Haifeng, Skyray had already crawled over quickly, its sickle-like arms suddenly swung out, shooting out two green blade beams.
"Fran, hold back."
With simple words, Lin Haifeng’s old partner Fran already understood Lin Haifeng’s meaning, and the originally raised power quickly dissipated as Fran moved swiftly to the left, exposing Lin Haifeng instantaneously to the attacks of the Sea King and Skyray.
This wasn’t selling out a teammate; Fran understood Lin Haifeng’s words — I’ll handle the first half, you handle the second!
As for the reason... Fran didn’t need to know, only following Lin Haifeng normally knew how strong Lin Haifeng’s reasoning was, how high his intellect was, and the kind of terrifying power he possessed!
"Boom!"
The airwave suddenly exploded, and Fran retreated a few steps along with it, far from the battlefield of the three. When the airwave dissipated, Lin Haifeng’s left hand gripped Skyray’s forelimb, his right hand lightly raised, seemingly forming an invisible air wall against the Sea King’s controlling wave, preventing any advance.
"Need me to return to Yanjing first?"
Fran asked with a light-hearted laugh, seeing Lin Haifeng fighting the two with ease; it seemed Skyray and the "Sea King" were unable to do anything to Lin Haifeng.
"No, you can’t return to Yanjing; this place is safer than Yanjing."
Lin Haifeng ducked to evade Skyray’s fast-slicing right limb while retaliating with a heavy kick!
As Lin Haifeng’s foot connected with Skyray’s body, a faint light film enveloped Skyray, making it bear no damage.
Lin Haifeng was strong, but the king of the Insect Tribe was not made of mud either.
Yet seeing Lin Haifeng maneuver smoothly, casually chatting with Fran, the Sea King’s supposed "Can I kill him?" was certainly a fool’s dream.
"Alright."
Fran didn’t know what Lin Haifeng had guessed, seeing Lin Haifeng fighting two opponents with ease, could only put away his unease, accumulating strength by the side.
Lin Haifeng was very strong, incredibly strong, possibly even stronger than the Demigod, so his first half should be fine, the focus is the second half...
He himself wasn’t as strong as Lin Haifeng...
