Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1193 - 533: In the Spotlight

Prior to the massive flood, a popular saying circulated online.

Farmers would have no fields left if growing crops brought in real profits.

Whatever holds even a hint of gain gets seized by the powerful and influential.

Following the apocalyptic deluge, every established power across the globe was completely wiped out.

Indeed, this marked the prime moment for average folks to climb the ladder.

Yet, what makes regular people ordinary isn't just missing chances, but often a shortage of guts and foresight.

Take those stuck in Meidu Garden back then, for example.

Only Liang Yuan had the nerve to exit Meidu Garden, craft a raft, abandon safety, and head into the mysterious Yangshan.

The rest? Most huddled inside the structure, hoping for saviors.

A few mustered the boldness to brawl and snatch supplies.

Yet, facing the raging waters beyond, fear gripped them, and they backed away.

Folks like that can't be called genuinely courageous.

Still, as the colossal flood dragged on, humans slowly synced with the end-times beat.

Today, fresh powers sprout up fast, like mushrooms popping after a downpour.

History merely repeats its endless loop.

These new groups will likewise claim the prime resources, sealing off advancement for the lowly masses.

Liang Yuan eyed this bunch with icy contempt, a deep revulsion surging inside.

"I’ll count to three—scram now, and I’ll act like you were never here."

Hearing this, the trio of bearded thugs erupted in fury.

"Damn it, courting death?"

"Seeking death!"

Two companions of the bearded man bellowed curses right away; one yanked out a gleaming golden long knife without hesitation and snarled: "Take him down!"

In the blink of an eye, he vaulted forward, aiming straight for Liang Yuan’s boat.

At the same time, he hoisted the golden blade overhead, hacking savagely at Liang Yuan’s speedboat.

Suddenly, the golden glow from his knife morphed into a massive razor-sharp blade aura!

A Metal Attribute Superpower User!

Moreover, that knife was no common blade—it was obviously a superpower weapon!

Whoosh—!

The long knife sliced through the emptiness, unleashing a shrill howl.

Simultaneously, the bearded man struck as well, flailing his arms wildly; water surged in tumult, colossal waves morphing into furious torrents ready to capsize Liang Yuan’s speedboat.

The third figure darted like lightning, skimming over the water waves, charging in like a tempest.

Speed Ability User!

All three lunged in unison, each boasting Genetic Species Level battle prowess.

Any regular Superpower User cornered by them would be in dire straits.

Too bad—they ran into Liang Yuan!

Liang Yuan remained steady on his speedboat, merely letting out a chilly sneer.

Right then, he unleashed a fist straight at the airborne golden blade aura!

Boom—the power in his fist detonated instantly, sending ripples of air waves crashing through the void from the impact!

Grayish-white currents wildly erupted and scattered from his fist.

The tremendous shockwave warped the surrounding air.

Bang!

That golden blade aura, together with the Metal Attribute Superpower User, got crushed mid-air by the fist’s might and burst apart violently!

In a flash, it dissolved into a spray of blood fog and chunks, popping as it dispersed into nothingness.

Horror twisted the bearded man’s features.

The fist’s momentum didn’t falter one bit; it improbably held its power and slammed into his little boat with a thunderous crash.

Instantly, the wooden vessel shattered with a roar, reduced to splinters!

The Speed Ability User, mere moments from Liang Yuan’s speedboat, faltered for a second.

Then, accelerating even more, he veered sharply around Liang Yuan’s craft and bolted off, wave-walking into the horizon!

Just like a kid who’d wandered off path, he whipped around and ran for his life!

As his boat blew apart, the bearded man plunged into the floodwaters to conceal himself.

Liang Yuan swept a frosty gaze across the water, ignoring these small fry.

He fired up the speedboat and raced toward the dark Floating Island.

This Floating Island stood out as exceptionally odd; Liang Yuan had never spotted anything quite like it.

With Liang Yuan’s vessel drawing near, folks on nearby big ships swiveled their heads, faces etched with astonishment.

Likely, nobody foresaw a solitary figure barging through.

Aboard the leading ship flying blue banners, a suited, bespectacled middle-aged man radiating immense presence pivoted to eye Liang Yuan.

Frowning, he muttered: "Where’d this guy pop from? Why didn’t Hu Haimin block him?"

The woman at his side quickly scanned about and inquired.

A subordinate hurried over and whispered, "Valley Master, Hu Haimin’s boat has exploded. Hu Haimin is missing. It looks like this person struck him, forcing him to flee into the water, and he still hasn’t surfaced."

The middle-aged man in the suit heard this report, his eyebrows shooting up right away. He then glanced at Liang Yuan with a hint of peculiarity and commented, "Intriguing. He appears to be quite the powerhouse."

As he spoke, his hand extended to adjust his glasses.

The lenses on the glasses glimmered faintly, and in the next instant, the suited man’s expression shifted dramatically.

Those around him witnessed the scene and grew intrigued.

Instinctively, they all reached into their pockets for their lenses, slipped them over their eyes, and directed their gazes toward Liang Yuan.

The moment they did, every face paled in shock!

"92 points!"

"Gasp! Who the heck is this guy? How can his primary attribute be so sky-high?"

"Unbelievable! How on earth did he train to push his main attribute to 92 points?"

"Damn, what a freak!"

Suddenly, murmurs of astonishment rippled through the crowd.

These were spiritual ability glasses, tools designed to scan an opponent’s superpower level.

Not just on this vessel, but ships far off also swiveled to peer in their direction.

In particular, up at the front near the black zone’s boundary, a warship along with three massive civilian carriers all turned their attention over.

On one of those ships flying a blue wave banner, Plague Priest Han Tai cast his gaze toward them.

One look was enough—his pupils shrank violently, and his complexion drained to ashen white.

On reflex, he retreated a step and muttered, "It’s him!"

At the ship’s prow, a blue-robed youth caught the words and pivoted to Han Tai with a puzzled look. "Old Han, you know him?"

Han Tai drew in a heavy breath and warned gravely, "Stay alert. That’s Yangshan Leader, Liang Yuan!"

"What!"

The youth’s features twisted in alarm as he whipped his head around, fixing a piercing stare on Liang Yuan.

He swiftly donned his spiritual ability glasses and scanned Liang Yuan without delay.

Numbers on the lenses flickered and surged wildly.

Soon enough, his expression hardened completely!

"92 points! It’s real!"

Disbelief colored the young man’s voice as he exclaimed, "How is he this powerful? Just how did he cultivate?"

Han Tai shook his head faintly and replied with utmost seriousness, "I’m stumped too. Yangshan lacks any high-level superpower methods; no way should his progress outpace ours by this much."

The youth blurted out, "Across all of Guangfu, Feng Jiangong from the military holds the top public main attribute. As a Dove Faction leader, he gets every resource funneled his way, letting him break past 90 points."

"But how did Liang pull off such rapid growth?"

With a heavy tone, Han Tai cautioned, "Deng Ze, watch out for him. Among the Three Great Sects, we’ve clashed with him before. His presence here means he’s probably after this Dark Attribute Floating Island too."

Deng Ze, the young man, creased his forehead and pressed, "What kind of superpower does he wield?"

"Ice Attribute."

After a brief pause, Han Tai voiced his assessment.

He had indeed seen Liang Yuan unleash an array of stunning techniques.

Most unforgettable was Liang Yuan’s horrifying Ice Attribute power.

It nearly countered every Water Attribute ability completely.

Deng Ze’s brows knitted even tighter at the revelation.

"Ice Attribute, of all things!"

This spelled real trouble, since Deng Ze himself was a Water Attribute superpower user!

Though his Water Attribute was unique, it happened to be especially vulnerable to Ice Attribute.

A chill gleamed in Han Tai’s eyes as he assured, "Relax. He took out Forest Bishop Lin Guangqun from the Earth Mother Sect. This time, they’ve dispatched Desert Watcher Fang Hao."

"Fang’s main attribute is solid too; if needed, we can team up."

Deng Ze gave a small nod, then added, "Last time, Spiritual Ability Sect lost a convener. Now they’ve brought the enigmatic Shadow Convener from their Evolution Council."

"We might pull him into an alliance."

Han Tai warned sternly, "Tread carefully with that Shadow Convener. He vanishes and appears like a ghost—classic signs of a Dark Attribute superpower user."

"The Floating Island before us screams Dark Attribute. He’s likely dead set on claiming it."

Slightly nodding, Deng Ze gazed upward at the expansive region shrouded in darkness, remarking, "Nearly seven days have passed, with multiple groups venturing inside, but not a single one has returned. The perils lurking there must be immense."

"With this guy from Yangshan showing up now, chaos is bound to erupt."

Han Tai sneered, "Wasn't there plenty of turmoil at the Yellow Earth Divine Origin in those days?"

"To seize opportunities, one has to boldly compete and strive."

"Even aside from the Floating Island, we need to claim some of those Dark Attribute Blood Crystals inside."

"They're the prime resource for crafting Dark Attribute Genetic Species."

Taking a deep breath, Deng Ze nodded faintly and declared, "Fine, we'll hold off a little more. If nobody exits, I'll head in personally."

Han Tai gave a slight nod, replying, "We're relying on you."

Over by the Water God Sect, two priests murmured quietly to each other.

Right then, aboard a close warship, a middle-aged military-uniformed man fixed his gaze on Liang Yuan's motorboat.

He served as the Guangfu Military's envoy, a top Hawk Faction leader named Ding Huaiyi!

Standing about 1.75 meters, he possessed a slender frame with sharply outlined muscles.

Under his uniform, he held a rigid stance, sharp features, and hawk-like eyes.

He slipped on his spiritual ability glasses, eyed Liang Yuan, and his pupils abruptly narrowed a bit.

"Who's this individual?"

Ding Huaiyi questioned his nearby staff.

The camouflaged soldiers next to him traded glances and shook their heads in unison.

"Captain, do we move in for contact?" inquired a youthful soldier.

After pondering briefly, Ding Huaiyi responded, "No hurry—let's watch developments first."

Aboard a far-off cruise ship flying a yellowish-brown banner, Earth Mother Sect folks were scrutinizing Liang Yuan too.

Their head was an armored youth wearing a golden helm.

In his thirties, he sported a chin beard and faint crow's feet by his eyes.

Though solidly built, it wasn't showy; he scowled while eyeing Liang Yuan's motorboat.

Unfamiliar with Liang Yuan, he relied on the spiritual ability glasses' readings.

He grasped just how elevated the stranger's primary attribute stood!

"92 points—how can anyone boast such an insane attribute?" Fang Hao creased his forehead lightly.

"Does anyone know this guy?"

He spun around to scan his companions.

All shook their heads; they'd witnessed Liang Yuan eliminate the Earth Mother Sect's Yangshan dispatch ages back.

Subsequent spies hadn't glimpsed Liang Yuan's real face either.

Post the Three Great Sects' Yangshan assault, Liang Yuan stayed too occupied to appear openly.

No surprise they failed to identify him.

But suddenly, a voice from the group rang out, "Lord, I recognize him."

Fang Hao whipped toward the voice, arching a brow as he said, "Wu Meng, you know him?"
