Chapter 433 - 430: The Might of the Tsunami

Gao Fei laughed loudly, "No way? Do you two really want to go rob someone?"

"Ah!" Chen San and Liu Qing were stunned, "It was you who said you wanted to rob just now... We were just agreeing with your point of view..."

"What?" Gao Fei waved his hand dismissively, "I was just joking earlier, and you guys actually took it seriously."

"So it was just a joke." Chen San and Liu Qing showed disappointed expressions.

"Robbery is a dangerous thing, and it can easily cost you your life," Gao Fei said earnestly, "Unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to get involved in this line of work."

"We understand," Chen San nodded.

"But what if someone else comes... to rob us?" Liu Qing suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Gao Fei was taken aback, "We definitely can't just sit and wait to be robbed, we have to fight back."

"Right!" Chen San pumped his fist, "Fight back! Whoever dares to rob us, we'll take them down!"

After chatting for a bit, Gao Fei and the others took off into the air and left.

...

Liu Qing's words turned out to be prophetic, as in the following days, several groups attempted to rob Gao Fei and his companions, but in the end, all were dealt with by Gao Fei.

"Crazy! They're all crazy!" Gao Fei cursed, "Everyone who came for the trials has lost their minds!"

"In the struggle for first place, everyone has started to resort to any means necessary," Liu Qing said with a wry smile.

"The first place gets a thousand amethysts! A whole thousand! How can people not be tempted?" Chen San pointed out.

"First place is mine! No one else even think about taking it!" Gao Fei huffed, "Whoever dares to rob us, we'll handle them harshly!"

"Right! Handle them harshly!"

"Sort them out!"

"Beat them up!"

"Take them down!"

"They actually dare to rob us, they're truly courting death!"

...

"Huh?" Gao Fei flipped his wrist and a piece of Talisman Paper appeared in his palm, quivering slightly. It was a Sound Transmission Talisman with a range of over a thousand miles, which meant that one could transmit sound within this distance. Gao Fei concentrated for a moment, then frowned, "Ding Shu is in trouble and is calling us for help!"

"Ding Shu?" Chen San was taken aback, "Shall we go?"

"Let's go. Ding Shu is our ally, we promised to help each other out. Now that Ding Shu is in trouble, if we don't help, our conscience won't allow it," Liu Qing said.

Gao Fei nodded, "Let's go, let's see what's happening." Gao Fei put away the Sound Transmission Talisman and led Chen San and Liu Qing flying toward the southeast.

...

In the southeast direction.

In the deep sea.

Two groups were engaged in fierce combat, one of which was Ding Shu and his companions, and the other was a group of masked people in black.

Clearly, Ding Shu and his people were at a disadvantage.

They were outnumbered by the masked men in black, and outmatched in strength as well.

Fortunately, Ding Shu and his group had set up a defensive array, which allowed them to barely hold their ground, but as time dragged on, their situation grew increasingly perilous.

Left with no other options, Ding Shu resorted to using a Sound Transmission Talisman to call for help from their allies, but after such a long time... no one had come to their aid... Ding Shu's heart grew colder by the minute. Could it be that... their allies wouldn't come at all?

...

A hundred zhang away.

Gao Fei, Chen San, and Liu Qing were hiding in the sea, half of their heads exposed as they surveyed the situation ahead.

"Those masked men in black are all very strong," Liu Qing said with a grimace. "Even if we rush over, it would be very difficult to rescue Ding Shu and the others."

"Or... maybe we should just leave..." Chen San whispered, "It's not that we don't want to save them, but that we can't. There are just three of us and dozens of them. Any one of them could spit on us and drown us."

Gao Fei was also hesitant. Out of a sense of duty and conscience, he should charge forward to rescue Ding Shu and the others, but reason and self-preservation dictated that he should retreat...

Charging in was dangerous, but retreating would trouble his conscience.

Damn it all! What should he choose?

Gao Fei's brow furrowed ever tighter. He thought over all his trump cards and finally shook his head; he had quite a few, but it was still very difficult to kill dozens of men in black... Gao Fei took a closer look and saw that more than half of the masked men were Nascent Soul cultivators, with only a minority being in the Golden Core Realm. With Gao Fei's current strength, he might manage to face off against one Nascent Soul cultivator, handle two at a stretch, and three would stretch him thin... More than three would be impossible.

Could it be that... he had to use that last resort?

Gao Fei was indecisive; he had one last card up his sleeve that he had been saving for a life-threatening situation and could not afford to use it lightly.

Everyone has their selfish moments, and Gao Fei was no exception. He really wanted to help Ding Shu, but... he was reluctant to rashly put himself in danger... In the end, it was because Gao Fei and Ding Shu didn't have a strong connection. If it were Chen San or Liu Qing in danger, Gao Fei wouldn't hesitate to rush to their aid.

...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

A deafening roar suddenly erupted.

Gao Fei and the others, hiding in the sea, were jolted dizzy by the sudden explosiveness.

"What's happening?" Gao Fei shook his groggy head and looked up: "Damn! What is that?"

Chen San and Liu Qing were stunned: "A tsunami! It's a tsunami! We have to run! Go!"

Hundreds of zhang away, a towering wall of water surged to the heavens, with waves raging ferociously! Wherever it passed, all creatures perished, the waves churned wildly, and the momentum was terrifying!

"Wait!" Gao Fei's eyes widened as he stared ahead: "Something's not right!"

"What's not right?" Chen San urged, "It's clearly a tsunami! Sir, let's hurry. If we delay, it will be too late. If the tsunami catches up with us, even if we don't die, we'll be skinned alive." Human strength ultimately has its limits and cannot withstand the force of nature.

The appearance of the tsunami inadvertently saved Ding Shu and the others. The masked men in black were all scared away, and Ding Shu's group also fled. Unfortunately, they were too close to the tsunami, and despite their desperate escape, they were eventually overtaken. With a "smack!" the wall of water, thousands of zhang high, crashed down, instantly turning three masked men into a bloody pulp, dropping them into the sea where they were engulfed in an instant.

After witnessing the horrific power of the tsunami, Ding Shu and the others turned deathly pale and ran for their lives. All they could do was pray in their hearts, begging the heavens to pity them and spare their lives.

In the face of natural disasters, human beings are truly insignificant.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions... These are the most terrifying natural disasters! Each one, when it occurs, causes massive casualties.

Ancient people tended to view earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and other natural disasters as the wrath of heaven and earth, believing that they were inflicted upon humans who had committed grievous sins, angering the world itself, thus bringing down disasters as punishment. Whenever a natural disaster occurred, the ancients would conduct sacrifices and prayers, kneel and worship, begging for forgiveness. This notion persisted for a very long time until people's thoughts gradually began to change.
