It doesn't matter what the lord is.

Irene replied:

"The ideologies are different. My father grew up in the palace and has no complicated hatred for humans. But Shark Star has been active on the battlefield since he was a child. His wife... went to visit him on the battlefield seven years ago and was shot by a human arrow and fell on the beach. At that time, in order not to expose the position of the main force, Shark Star watched helplessly as his wife was pierced all over her body with arrows. Afterwards, every time he mentioned humans, his words and expression were filled with indescribable disgust."

……

The dark beach is covered with various kinds of seaweed, and it is easy to slip if you step on it barefoot.

A woman looked at the shark-man in front of her with horror, and the shark-man was biting her neck with an indifferent expression.

The blood gurgled out like a steaming hot spring.

The woman's head unconsciously tilted up, her body arched backwards, she saw the sky and the sea reversed, everything in her sight gradually darkened. She also saw two children, a boy and a girl, hugging each other and shivering, they were the children she had raised alone with great difficulty until they were seven or eight years old. The night before, she was still imagining what kind of wife and husband her children would marry when they grew up, but at this moment, she had to face the cruel reality - she might only have a few seconds left to live, and the scene in front of her could go completely black at any time.

The woman opened her mouth and called out in a weak voice:

"Quick...run..."

This was her last thought. She didn't even have time to think about how the two little children could escape from the tall fishman. She just told them what she thought was the right thing to do. This was the last thing she could do for her children.

As the blood flow gradually slowed down, the woman completely lost her life.

The shark-man grabbed her head and threw her into the dark sea.

"mother--"

The little girl screamed and tried to run into the sea, but was suddenly pulled and pushed away by the boy next to her.

The young boy looked at the shark-man approaching step by step, and shouted with all his might in his childish voice:

"No, don't come over here!"

The shark threw the trident in his hand, which pierced the boy's chest directly and nailed him firmly to the beach. The boy couldn't die immediately, and the pain made him want to struggle, but the more he struggled, the bigger the wound became. All he could do was to linger in despair.

The shark man stopped beside the boy for a moment and whispered:

"Does it hurt? You did the same thing to us sea people. Although you probably didn't kill any sea people, those war criminals...your fathers, have already gone elsewhere with generous bounties. Someone has to pay for the blood debt, kid, you should hate your own weakness. Our sea people's children are already capable of killing people when they are your age."

After saying this, the shark man no longer looked at the boy with the blood on his face. He quietly walked towards the girl who was sitting on the ground in the distance and raised his leg to give her a side kick.

If this kick had been solid, the little girl's internal organs would have been shattered before she flew out.

……

"The Shark Star... has no sympathy for humans. In its eyes, all are enemies, regardless of gender, age or status, all are targets to be annihilated."

Irene pinched the corner of her clothes, her tone full of complexity.

"It once told my father that in a war between different races, one side must be destroyed. The fittest will survive, and being weak is the greatest original sin."

……

The shark man's kick missed.

At the critical moment, someone holding the girl quickly jumped away, and the shark man's kick only blew away the water plants and sand that covered the sky.

It frowned and looked in that direction. Coincidentally, the young man in white who saved the girl from it also let go of the little girl and looked at it coldly. The shark man laughed, raised his hand, and directly pulled out the bloody trident, carrying it on his shoulder, and said:

"Huh...? Humans also have the tenth realm? Are humans also worthy of the tenth realm?"

The young man did not answer.

Seeing that neither of them took any further action, the little girl immediately took a long detour and ran cautiously towards her brother.

The shark-man glanced in her direction and then gave the young man a cold sneer.

The meaning is very clear. The shark man thinks that since the other party did not take the initiative to stop the little girl, he can kill her at any time.

The young man rolled up his sleeves and kept his eyes on the shark man.

The shark fishman chose to attack directly, and the trident stabbed straight at the little girl's forehead. All this happened in an instant. In the eyes of a third person, such as the boy lying on the ground, the shark fishman just disappeared suddenly, and when he appeared again, he was already in front of the little girl.

It was so fast that he couldn't even scream.

Of course, along with it, the young man standing in the distance and watching also disappeared and reappeared.

The shark fishman was halfway through stabbing with the trident when he suddenly got hit hard in the face. His facial features shifted in one direction and his body flew backwards and fell on the shore. Although he immediately adjusted his posture and jumped up again, the smile on his face was obviously much lighter this time, and he began to look at the young man in front of him warily.

The young man spoke at this time and answered the question just now:

"Yes, humans also have the tenth level."

The smile on Shark Qunxing's face disappeared completely. He looked at Bai Ye and said:

"The army that has been fighting us is from Yunhai Territory. What is your relationship with Yunhai?"

Bai Ye replied:

"Yunhai's eldest son Bai Ye."

Shark Star smiled again, but this smile looked much crazier than before.

It stretched out its sharp scarlet tongue, licked the blood on its face, and asked again:

"Have you ever killed any of our ocean people?"

Bai Ye slowly raised his fist, looked at his opponent indifferently, and replied:

"There weren't any before, but I think we killed tens of thousands of them in the past few days. I can't remember the exact number."

Shark Star clenched the trident in his hand and let out a sharp laugh.

"Very good...very good! You know, if you hadn't shown up here today, I would have probably killed people until there was not a single living person left within a hundred miles. But killing too many people would make me feel meaningless, because they are paying off debts for others, and they are not happy when they pay, and I am not happy when I receive. But you are different. I will personally take back what your Yunhai family owes to our Ocean Clan."

57. Main battlefield

When Bai Ye first proposed to learn martial arts, Lord Yunhai was actually full of questions.

It's not that Yunhai has any habit of valuing literature over martial arts. In fact, most of the children of noble families will eat some natural treasures and practice some secret martial arts, but most of them are at the level of Bai Huang, and at most a little higher, reaching the level of Qiming Prince Norn. After all, a person's energy is limited. It's like God gave you five talent points, and you added them all to martial arts, so naturally you can't improve other abilities.

As the eldest son of Yunhai, Bai Ye should at least have the ability to inherit the Yunhai territory, regardless of whether he can inherit it.

Besides, people say that learning the arts of literature and martial arts can bring you to the imperial family. You are the successor to the emperor, so why bother learning this? Wouldn't it be better to spend that time to master some of the emperor's mindset, learn the way of balance, and set ambitious goals? Even if you take a step back, even if you invest this time in the human-making movement, you can also make a prominent contribution to the continuation of the bloodline of the Yunhai family. Isn't it much better than suffering and learning martial arts?

The Yunhai Lord, who was determined to stop the landlord's stupid son, pulled him in front of him and carefully explained some things to him: Bai Ye, your identity is the eldest son of Yunhai, a noble, not a wanderer. You have many responsibilities on your shoulders. What you have to do is to keep the people of Yunhai in your heart and use your identity and skills to save more people.

"Think about it, how many people can you save if you master the martial arts? You've heard of Qingyun, right? How many people did he save? Thousands or tens of thousands? If you become a wise lord in the future, you can at least make hundreds of thousands or millions of people live and work in peace and contentment. The former is a minor path, and the latter is a major path."

Bai Ye said nothing at the time and locked himself in the room to think for a few days.

Afterwards, he met Lord Yunhai again and said to him:

"I want to learn martial arts because when I see something that makes me angry, I can step forward to stop it. At that moment, I don't have to think too much, just think about whether I can beat the abuser in front of me. If I learn the art of being an emperor as my father said, in the future, maybe the first thing I think of will be what kind of forces are behind the abuser and how those forces are related to each other, and I won't have the courage I have now."

Bai Ye frowned. He was still very young at that time and couldn't think of any profound and philosophical words to express his thoughts, so he concluded:

"I want to learn martial arts, perhaps just to be able to save someone who is suffering in the future. But what my father said is a way to save all the people. I think... saving one person is different from saving all the people."

Lord Yunhai raised his head and thought about it. He actually had no way of really understanding what this unique son was thinking.

However, the Yunhai family has been very open-minded from generation to generation, and they have one biggest advantage: as long as what you say makes sense, no matter whether they like it or not, they will give you a chance to try.

After waiting for a long time, Bai Ye finally understood the difference between the two.

In fact, there is no difference between saving one person and saving thousands of people, because in this world, having the idea of ​​saving people and being willing to think about others is already a rare and precious quality. The only difference between the two is that saving one person only requires passion, while saving thousands of people requires humiliation, forbearance, and even the awareness of killing more people.

Bai Ye thought to himself that he didn't have this awareness, and he didn't want to have it either.

Because he who saves all people may not be willing to save just one person.

He thought that he was fine now. If he liked Linglan, he should just like her openly. He didn't need to consider whether he was more suitable to find a girl of the same social status as her. His famous brother was still a single dog after all the considerations. If he wanted to save Linglan, he should just save her openly. After realizing Linglan's true thoughts, he removed "saving Linglan" from the list of things he wanted to do the most, and replaced it with "saving innocent people in the South China Sea" which ranked second.

He came to kill the sharks not for any grand goal, but just to see the suffering in the world and want to do something within his power. Just like now, he saved another little girl whose name he didn't know, which was a very happy thing for Bai Ye. He seemed difficult to get along with, but he didn't have any particularly lofty pursuits.

Shark Qunxing held the trident in both hands and stabbed Bai Ye with a heavy blow. Bai Ye blocked the right punch with his left hand, and his fist brushed against Shark Qunxing's cheek.

Shark Qunxing grinned, showing his sharp teeth. While attacking Bai Ye, he spoke:

"So that's how it is... Someone from the ocean tribe once reported that someone was meditating and gaining enlightenment on the beach. That person must be you. There's a sense of the ebb and flow of the tide in your fists, but it's just the most clumsy imitation of the sea. No matter how much you who live on land gain enlightenment, what you see is just the tip of the iceberg! Watch carefully—"

Shark Stars swung the trident in his hand and thrust it upwards, forcing Bai Ye to retreat. Then he thrust the trident deeply into the ground, and deep blue cracks immediately appeared on the ground. That was not a human martial art, but a mixture of magic or a summoning ritual-like technique. Bai Ye carefully judged the meaning of the magic circle on the ground, but it didn't take long for him to intuitively understand what Shark Stars wanted to do.

“This is the power of the sea!”

Waves tens of meters high hit the shore directly.

Bai Ye moved, but instead of rushing to attack the sharks, he quickly picked up the little girl who was holding her brother's cold hand in the distance and retreated inland. After realizing that he would not have time to reach a safe area before the waves hit him, Bai Ye threw the girl to a lush tree in the distance and told her loudly to grab the vines of the tree. In this way, perhaps the worst result for her would be just breaking a few bones, and there was still a chance of survival.

It was the most he could do in the time he had.

After that, Bai Ye turned around and swung his fist to block the attack from the Shark Stars, but the waves had already hit him head-on, shattering everything and washing away all the shattered debris.

Bai Ye opened his eyes with all his strength in the sea water, punched away the surging waves, and poked his head out of the sea. But he only had time to take a breath before the sharks grabbed his ankles and dragged him to the bottom of the sea.

In the ground combat, ten levels against ten levels, Bai Ye has the upper hand.

But the main battlefield of the ocean tribe has never been on land, but underwater!

A string of bubbles spread in the sea water, and the figure in the dark opened his blood-red eyes. The trident was not hindered by the sea water, but seemed to have life, and instantly inflicted numerous wounds on Bai Ye's body.

Blood was smeared in the sea water, and countless huge and bizarre creatures were approaching this side in the dark tide, slowly surrounding Bai Ye and the Shark Stars in the center.

The sea people are on the ground and still have a way to retreat.

Once humans enter the sea, there is truly nowhere to escape.

58. Goodbye

Darkness loomed around the white night.

This place is so deep underwater that the heavy pressure seems to crush Bai Ye's lungs.

Bai Ye exhaled his last breath, raised his fist underwater, and smashed it downwards.

A circular undercurrent spread silently in all directions. Although no earth-shaking sound could be heard underwater, the power of the undercurrent was very strong, so strong that circles of water began to spread on the sea surface. This punch was naturally not enough to help him escape from the current predicament, but Bai Ye clenched his fists and punched down again and again. Soon, the sea water began to stagnate, collide, and then rise higher and higher like a squeezed and deformed mantle.

Shark Stars' senses in the seawater were very sharp, and any small movement of the seawater could not be hidden from its eyes. But at first it still couldn't imagine what Bai Ye was going to do, until its body began to shake uncontrollably in the seawater, and Shark Stars suddenly realized that it was floating up -

The dragon roar exploded in the sky above the South China Sea!

The white waves and foam formed the shape of a blue dragon's head, rising from the sea level to the sky. Bai Ye, the Shark Stars, and the monsters that were hunting in the sea were all thrown high into the air. The moment they left the sea, Bai Ye took a deep breath, and his aura instantly reached its peak. He punched the Shark Stars hard on the head.

Shark Stars had no choice but to let go of the hand that held Bai Ye, otherwise that arm would likely suffer a serious muscle tear. And right below it was the sea, and although it looked a little embarrassed after being punched into the water, the injury was not very serious. But Bai Ye crossed his arms and lifted them up, and the dragon formed by the sea water stretched out its tail and whipped Shark Stars to the shore like playing baseball. Then Bai Ye adjusted his posture and landed on the ground, while lifting his wet hair, he walked towards Shark Stars who had fallen to the ground.

The wound on his body from the trident had not healed, and the salt in the sea water made the wound full of swelling and pain. The blood was diluted by the sea water and was no longer as bright red as before, but it still flowed down Bai Ye's arm.

The monsters under the sea fell one after another. The largest one was more than ten meters long, equivalent to several large trucks. A large car accident happened here. They were thick-skinned and tough, and this fall was not enough to kill them. They immediately began to struggle after landing. Bai Ye didn't even look at them. His steps were steady. As he walked, he once again got ready to punch.

Shark Star rubbed his dizzy forehead with his left hand and clenched the trident with his right hand.

It tried its best to restore the double image in its eyes to normal, and once again showed its sharp white teeth, and said to Bai Ye:

"What a ruthless blow, is this your trump card? The sound of the dragon roar does sound about 70% real, but it still does not pose a threat to us marine people. I'm talking to you, you just reached the tenth level not long ago, right? The sharpness in your body is still there, but it is far from enough to control this power!"

Shark Star wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the rough back of his hand and spun the trident in his hand again.

This time, there were no huge waves like last time, but as the black shadows swam on the sea, several huge creatures gradually surfaced. Deer horns, camel heads, rabbit eyes, snake necks, eagle claws, there appeared nine real blue dragons, creatures that were said to only live on the seabed. Just like the mother body of the weeping night sandworm that Lid encountered when he was heading north, these creatures from ancient times could no longer be measured by normal realms of cultivation. Their existence itself was a symbol of power.

The blue dragon flew out of the sea, soaring high in the sky, opening its huge mouth and roaring. The energy compressed into a ball turned into a turbulent stream of water and shot towards Bai Ye from all angles. Bai Ye punched to shake it off, but a thin layer of flesh and blood on his right arm was instantly scraped off.

Bai Ye could only break out in a panic, his whole body covered in blood.

Bai Ye raised his hand, and the sea water also condensed into nine dragons, throwing towards the living dragons.

He had no time to see the result of the collision between the real and fake dragons, because the Shark Stars had seized his weakness and killed him with their tridents. The gap in their realms was not that big, and the tip of the trident pierced into Bai Ye's shoulder, causing another string of blood.

Bai Ye retreated again.

Shark Qunxing rotated the trident in his hand, shook off the blood on it, and looked at Bai Ye.

Nine dragons gathered behind him and roared threateningly.

Shark Stars said:

"Behind me is the entire ocean and its inhabitants. We are not of the same species, nor are we friends. Even in the sea, conflicts between sharks, fishmen and ancient creatures occur from time to time. But on land and in the sky where the sea cannot reach, we are partners fighting side by side."

Shark Stars looked at Bai Ye and said:

"Who is standing behind you?"

Empty, no one answered.

Bai Ye covered his left shoulder which was bleeding profusely, his eyes as indifferent as ever.

The shark man showed a hint of sarcasm on his face and stepped forward. But then he heard a loud "release" and a burst of iron arrows flew over from a distance, covering the sky and the sun. There were tens of thousands of them, like the Milky Way falling into the mortal world, or like a rushing steel torrent.
