Chapter 358: Dragon Clan Landing

The surging waves shattered the calm of the sea’s surface, emerging like a ferocious beast, charging at the fishermen setting out to sea.

Among the fishermen, a song was passed around: “In the wind and rain, what’s the pain? Wipe your tears, don’t be afraid, at least we still have dreams.”

This song had always inspired them to move forward, fearlessly facing even the greatest waves!

Then they were swallowed by the sea.

A group of boats capsized in an instant.

The scene was a disaster, unbearable to watch.

The massive waves came too suddenly, not like a natural phenomenon.

Surely, something sinister was afoot.

As the giant waves surged toward the shore, Lin Nuo stepped back with Mu Yiting.

“Why is this happening? Those fishermen are still in the water…”

“They’re not likely to drown; this isn’t a natural occurrence. It’s as if something is approaching,” Lin Nuo said seriously.

“What could it be?”

“Perhaps it’s a single big fish or a swarm of them. Young master, you go ahead; I’ll find you later.”

Lin Nuo floated up using Wind Technique, avoiding being swept away by the waves.

“You’re telling me to go again? Forget it, I’ll wait for you,” Mu Yiting said, staying put. It was safe here, so there was no need to leave; she’d just wait for Lin Nuo to return.

Amidst the turbulent waves, three men emerged.

They wore bright, colorful clothing, and though they came from the water, their clothes and shoes showed no signs of wetness.

They hailed from the underwater Dragon Palace in the Dongling Sea, with the leader being Hao Yi, a handsome dragon man exuding noble grace.

“Is this the shore of Dongling Sea? Is that the region of Puhan?” Hao Yi murmured. This was his first time stepping into the territory of the great nation of Puhan. Previously, he had ventured into other realms, but they were all primitive and backward. Among all the lands, Puhan was the largest and most powerful.

Of course, Puhan also bordered some foreign nations whose strength shouldn’t be underestimated.

But they were ultimately a rabble; should Puhan fall, this land would fall into the hands of the Sea Domain Dragon Clan.

What level were the humans here?

Hao Yi had gathered information; this Puhan nation had coastal dwellings populated by common folk. When he first arrived, he didn’t sense any strong spiritual energy.

As the second prince of the Dragon Palace, his spiritual energy was exceptional, capable of creating massive waves with just a flick of his arm, sending groups of fishermen tumbling into the sea.

It was like humans casually swatting away ants.

Of course, he looked down upon these commoners and only intended to stir up the waves.

To enter further meant encountering Puhan’s stronger warriors. He had come here to test the waters, gauging the might of humanity.

With his brilliant dragon eyes, Hao Yi could perceive the strength of the humans ahead. Scanning briefly, he found the fishermen to be weak, while the girl anxiously gazing from the shore possessed stronger energy.

“Your Highness, there’s a human girl over there; perhaps you could test her,” one of his subordinates suggested.

Hao Yi nodded: “Yes, that’s exactly what I intend to do.”

“Your Highness, there’s also a human boy standing on the rocks.”

Another subordinate pointed out Lin Nuo to Hao Yi.

Hao Yi glanced over Lin Nuo, and his keen dragon eyes quickly revealed the answer.

Weak spiritual energy signified weak strength.

Though spiritual energy didn’t equate to absolute power, it was the best indicator of ability. If the energy levels were relatively close, victory was uncertain; however, a far greater disparity meant there was no contest at all—higher energy would crush lower energy.

In the Sea Domain Dragon Clan’s extensive history, no case has ever contradicted this fact.

Moreover, judging from Lin Nuo’s appearance and attire, he revealed no signs of being a strong individual, just an ordinary fisherman like the others.

He could perceive any strong opponent from appearance alone.

Once deemed weak, there was no need for him to act against them.

Hao Yi scoffed: “Just a fisherman, ignore him. Focus on that girl. Go exchange a few blows; let’s see her level.”

“Your Highness, what if I accidentally kill her?”

“Then kill her. A few deaths are inevitable during our Sea Domain Dragon Clan’s invasion,” Hao Yi waved off dismissively.

“Go ahead.”

“Understood.”

The dragon subordinate nodded, locking onto Mu Yiting as the target.

Since the prince said it was fine to kill, there was no need to hold back.

From the look of that human’s spiritual energy, it didn’t seem too strong and should be easy to handle.

The dragon subordinate began gathering immense spiritual energy, and even the accompanying dragon followers possessed enough strength to rank among human warriors.

However, just as he charged toward Mu Yiting, the young man who had been standing on the rocks suddenly appeared.

The dragon subordinate became alert, immediately throwing a punch.

Empty.

A phantom.

“Are you messing with me?”

The dragon subordinate was enraged; this kid was so fast, just moments ago standing on the rocks, now his shadow was attacking right in front of him.

As for the real kid?

He was already floating behind him.

“I’m right here.”

The dragon subordinate quickly turned around, spotting the young man.

Not a phantom, but the real body, which he could clearly identify.

“What do you want?”

Lin Nuo asked, but the dragon subordinate arrogantly replied, “Fisherman, I advise you not to meddle; I have no interest in killing you.”

“Are you planning to attack that woman?”

“Hmph.”

The dragon subordinate had no intention of explaining his actions to a mere fisherman and continued charging at Mu Yiting.

Unaware of the motives of these newcomers from the water, Mu Yiting sensed that the intense waves were being conjured by these individuals.

Their target seemed to be her.

Could it be other forces from Helong Hall?

How detestable; even a seaside outing could result in ambush.

As the dragon subordinate lunged toward her, Lin Nuo immediately unleashed several paralysis needles.

The dragon subordinate activated his spiritual shield, blocking the incoming needles.

How could human tricks possibly harm me?

Seeing that this opponent was no joke, Lin Nuo knew direct confrontation with hidden weapons wouldn’t work. The best plan was to set up a magic array to counter him.

Alright, first, he signaled to Mu Yiting to retreat quickly, intending to lure this guy into a magic array to wipe him out.

Lin Nuo engaged with the dragon subordinate, trading a few blows; however, the dragon subordinate’s skills were solid, and with his shield, Lin Nuo, though faster, couldn’t land a hit.

No worries, as long as he could buy time for Mu Yiting to escape.

However, Mu Yiting charged directly in with her sword.

Lin Nuo was stunned; he told her to leave, but why was she charging in?

This water demon was no slouch; fighting him wouldn’t be easy.

“You need to hurry!” Lin Nuo urged.

“Your burdens are mine to bear,” Mu Yiting replied sternly, swinging her sword downward.

The dragon subordinate didn’t dodge, confidently believing his shield could easily block it.

However.

The sword fell, blood splattered, and the dragon subordinate screamed in agony.
