Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1251 - 587: Mr. Liang, We Admit Defeat

"Liang Yuan, it is him! The Liang Yuan from Yangshan!"

"We were just contemplating how best to deal with opposition from Yangshan when he unexpectedly showed up."

"This fiend, he eliminated Yuan Shijie and Ding Huaiyi from the military forces. Furthermore, he vanquished Liang Long, the leader of the Water God Sect's Pure Water Holy Corps. Even our Fertile Soil Department's leader, Shi Lianhai, narrowly escaped death at his hands."

"All four of the Four Seasons Priests are deceased. Every single one of them!"

"He's a monster, truly not of human origin!"

"He absorbed many individuals we brought, transforming them into mere shadows and trapping them within the Shadow World..."

Sun Ming exclaimed, his voice choked with terror. Though his words were a jumbled mess, Zhang Wenjing and Aftershock managed to piece together elements of the horrifying truth.

Zhang Wenjing uttered in disbelief, "Liang Yuan? You're attributing all of this to that particular Liang Yuan from Yangshan?"

With a face etched with profound disbelief, Aftershock inquired, "Are you absolutely certain? Yuan Shijie is actually dead?"

"Dead, completely dead! Yuan Shijie's body remains right there!"

Sun Ming gestured towards a distant area where the snow, usually white, was stained a vivid crimson, partially obscured by falling snowflakes.

As Zhang Wenjing and Aftershock turned their gaze, they observed a headless corpse lying prone amidst the snow, largely concealed by the thick blanket of white.

They moved swiftly towards the scene.

With a casual wave of his hand, Aftershock instantly retrieved the corpse from its resting place.

However, the sight of the headless body sent a shockwave of dread through them both.

"Could this be Yuan Shijie? And where is his head?" Aftershock questioned, his voice tinged with disbelief.

Zhang Wenjing observed the chest cavity, grotesquely swollen and ruptured, and could only manage a sharp intake of breath.

"It's inside his chest!"

Utterly astounded, Aftershock let the corpse drop to the ground.

Such a brutal method of killing defied comprehension!

Aftershock made a swift slicing motion with his hand, and instantly, a blade resembling a wisp of cloud flashed through, bisecting the corpse.

A head tumbled out from the cavity of the chest.

Nevertheless, the head had been so horribly disfigured that recognition was nearly impossible.

Yet, thanks to Aftershock and Zhang Wenjing's familiarity with Yuan Shijie, they could still discern faint traces of him.

This body undoubtedly belonged to Yuan Shijie!

"It truly is him!"

"Yuan Shijie, actually deceased!"

Zhang Wenjing turned her attention back to Aftershock and posed the question, "Aftershock, did you genuinely encounter that Liang Yuan when you went to Yangshan?"

"Is he truly that powerful?"

For a fleeting moment, Aftershock found himself questioning his own perceptions. The leader he had met in Yangshan had indeed carried an air of arrogance and formidable presence.

But no matter how he pondered it, he couldn't fathom that individual being capable of dispatching Yuan Shijie!

Yuan Shijie was the leader of the Hawk Faction, a user of superpowers whose primary attribute surpassed 100 points, and he had even grasped a portion of the enigmatic principles of gene recombination!

And yet, he met his end so abruptly?

Could it be that this Liang Yuan from Yangshan possessed even greater strength than Yuan Shijie?

But how could such a thing be possible?

He stared as if he had witnessed a ghost, still unable to accept the reality before him.

Their skepticism was understandable. For Guangfu, the new territory where Yangshan was situated was merely an insignificant outpost. By the time Yangshan was inundated, the Guangfu military had already exerted control over the populace and commenced research into superpowers. the military had already started controlling the population and researching superpowers.

The military was the first to discover the superpower stone.

The rune bone was also initially studied by the military.

The application of rune technology to weaponry was first pioneered by the military.

In terms of population numbers, available resources, and technological advancement, Guangfu held a significant advantage over Yangshan in every conceivable aspect.

Given this disparity, how could a leader from Yangshan possibly achieve cultivation speeds that vastly outstripped those of their military personnel?

Indeed, while Yuan Shijie had flagrantly betrayed the soldier's oath and disregarded the principles upheld by warriors, he was, fundamentally, a soldier.

Moreover, he occupied a position with access to abundant resources.

In the eyes of Zhang Wenjing and Aftershock, not even the top figures within the Three Great Sects could measure up to Yuan Shijie.

So, who exactly was this Liang Yuan from Yangshan?

"This is dire. If that individual is indeed Liang Yuan, having already killed Yuan Shijie, he will undoubtedly continue his rampage."

"The Three Great Sects harbor deep-seated animosity towards Yangshan; he certainly will not show them any leniency!"

A sudden realization struck Zhang Wenjing, and she immediately turned to Aftershock, stating, "Aftershock, I will pursue him immediately. You must inform my father and Uncle Feng without delay."

"While the leaders of the Three Great Sects have indeed committed grave transgressions, they represent valuable talents who have painstakingly reached near the 100-point threshold in cultivation. If they can atone for their wrongdoings and assist us in guarding the Celestial Abyss, that would prove most beneficial."

Aftershock promptly nodded in agreement, replying, "I shall alert the commander and the major right away. You must exercise extreme caution!"

Zhang Wenjing gave a nod, then grasped Sun Ming from the ground, inquiring, "In which direction did Liang Yuan last head?"

Towards the direction of the Water God Sect, Sun Ming fearfully pointed, proclaiming, "He went there, towards the Water God Sect!"

Without hesitation, Zhang Wenjing stood, her voice sharp, "The Water God Sect? Could he be after the Water God Sect’s Tide Main Brain?"

Aftershock interjected with urgency, "Not good, Wenjing! The Tide Main Brain was reassembled by Pei Yuanhu using the brains of the Celestial Abyss Beast and Abyss Beast. It possesses immense spiritual power and can effortlessly brainwash genetic species experts!"

Zhang Wenjing’s expression shifted, a hint of urgency in her tone, "I will go immediately."

With that declaration, she vanished in a flash, disregarding the fallen Sun Ming, and rapidly pursued towards Denggong Mountain, the domain of the Water God Sect.

Witnessing this, Aftershock also ascended, addressing Sun Ming, "From the Earth Mother Sect, are you willing to enlist in the military?"

Sun Ming looked up, his voice tinged with confusion, "The military? Would you even want someone like me?"

"As long as your heart is true, we are all one, soldiers and civilians alike," Aftershock stated with solemnity.

The unexpected mention of unity between soldiers and civilians stirred a long-forgotten emotion, causing Sun Ming’s eyes to well up.

His voice thick with emotion, he stammered, "What... what did you say?"

"I am a soldier, and it is our sworn duty to protect the people."

"If you share this conviction, you are most welcome to join our ranks," Aftershock added, his words carrying significant weight.

Sun Ming met his gaze, tears shimmering, and asked, "Why? Why are you saying these things now? Where were you before? What were you doing when the great flood struck?"

Aftershock regarded him with a sigh, replying, "Certain matters are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. If you truly wish to understand, then come with me."

With that, he instantly moved, soaring into the heavens.

Sun Ming struggled to rise, gritting his teeth as he followed close behind.

The pair ascended swiftly, flying towards the remote reaches of Cangqiong Mountain.

——

Snowflakes cascaded through the air as a figure sliced through the void, intently flying towards the northwest.

In under ten minutes, Liang Yuan had traversed dozens of kilometers, arriving in the vicinity of Denggong Mountain.

At this precise moment, Denggong Mountain, much like Cangqiong Mountain, lay blanketed in white.

However, a distinct increase in signs of human activity was evident on Denggong Mountain, with plumes of cooking smoke ascending from its slopes.

Liang Yuan cast a cursory glance, showing no particular interest in the lower sectors of the Water God Sect on Denggong Mountain.

His attention was far more captivated by the Water God Sect’s Floating Island, the Miyuan Rainforest!

And within it, Liang Long, the spiritual star consciousness that had attempted to decipher him.

"Whose consciousness is that? There are indeed experts within the Water God Sect."

Buzz!

The space surrounding Liang Yuan pulsed subtly as he accelerated, bypassing Denggong Mountain entirely. Not far behind him, a colossal barrier, encapsulated within a blue hemispherical dome, materialized.

Snowflakes alighted upon the barrier, yet in mere moments, they dissolved into trickles of water, flowing inwards.

These streams were then re-circulated into the barrier, reconstituting the energy that sustained it.

Observing this barrier, Liang Yuan’s eyebrows arched slightly. "This defensive barrier is quite ingenious. I wonder if it’s an inherent feature of the Floating Island, or if the Water God Sect independently developed this rune array."

Liang Yuan’s form flickered, and he found himself positioned just outside the barrier.

Extending his hand, he pressed it against the barrier’s surface.

Crack, crack, crack—

A surge of frigid air emanated outwards, rapidly encasing the entire barrier in ice.

The flow of water ceased, instantly revealing a vulnerability within the barrier.

Liang Yuan brought down a fist!

Boom!

Crash!

The frozen section of the water flow barrier instantly disintegrated, tearing open a gaping hole.

Liang Yuan’s figure flickered once more, and he strode directly into the breach.

What greeted his eyes was an island that resembled an Amazonian tropical rainforest prior to the great flood.

Towering trees with broad leaves dominated the landscape, and overhead, the barrier, woven from collected water streams, formed a shifting azure canopy.

When the density of the blue became sufficient, the area would experience a downpour, nourishing the verdant trees below.

Liang Yuan clicked his tongue in admiration, "This is truly a remarkable place."

Such a rainforest, safeguarded by such a barrier, represented the absolute pinnacle for biological existence.

Liang Yuan particularly noted that the ambient temperature within this sanctuary seemed significantly warmer than the exterior, creating a sweltering climate perfectly suited for human habitation.

"How can the temperature within be like a tropical rainforest when it’s so frigid outside?"

"Does this barrier possess cold-resistance capabilities?"

Liang Yuan whirled around, his gaze falling upon the colossal barrier of blue water. He observed that it had completely reformed, the very flow he had fractured now encircling the island like a liquid embrace.

A keen inspection of the water barrier's current revealed a pattern, a subtle adherence to unseen principles rather than mere randomness.

"Could this be some form of advanced rune array?" he mused.

"Woo—"

As Liang Yuan analyzed the Miyuan Rainforest within the Water God Sect's domain, a shrill, piercing whistle erupted from the dense foliage. Instantly, the jungle thrummed with activity, the distinct impression of numerous individuals advancing toward his position.

Liang Yuan cast a dismissive glance toward the rainforest below, unconcerned by the commotion.

"Who dares trespass upon our revered Water God Sect Island!"

A silhouette shot upwards from the emerald depths, hurtling towards Liang Yuan with astonishing velocity, leaving only a fleeting afterimage in its wake.

The accompanying momentum was undeniably potent.

Yet, without even deigning to look, Liang Yuan lightly extended his palm, pressing it downwards towards the rainforest.

"Buzz!"

Originating from Liang Yuan's position, a vast kinetic barrier materialized, spanning an area exceeding five hundred meters!

This immense shield, akin to a descending lid, was forcefully driven downwards by Liang Yuan's subtle gesture!

Boom!

The charging figure slammed violently into the kinetic barrier, erupting in a spray of blood before being hurled backward like a mere projectile.

It was akin to an insect suicidally colliding with an invisible pane of glass.

From below, gasps of shock and alarm arose.

"Enemy sighted!"

"A formidable intruder is among us!"

"Launch the arrows, prepare the arrows!"

"Woo—"

The occupants below cried out in a mixture of fury and haste, initiating a desperate counterassault.

Water Arrows, Verdant Arrows, Explosive Arrows, Golden Radiance Arrows, Incendiary Pellets... A barrage of ranged attacks streaked through the air.

However, each projectile met its end against the kinetic barrier, detonating harmlessly upon impact, completely neutralized. Not a single assault managed to breach its defenses or even graze Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan paid them no mind. He advanced, venturing deeper into the island's embrace.

His pace was unhurried, his eyes diligently scanning the Miyuan Rainforest as he walked.

The island itself was not substantial in size, appearing roughly equivalent to Yangshan in scale. It was considerably less vast than the Mirage Snake Space or the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth.

Nevertheless, the island boasted exceptional ecological resources, characterized by its abundant greenery and a balmy tropical rainforest climate.

While the outside world was entombed in ice and snow, this place offered a warm, humid embrace.

The very atmosphere here was saturated with water-attribute superpower, a high concentration of moisture making it an veritable haven for users of such abilities.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, ahead in the sky, rivulets of water coalesced, fashioning themselves into a fluid, elemental figure.

"Mr. Liang."

Liang Yuan observed the emerging form and let out a soft chuckle. "Wen Fang, is it? You certainly escaped swiftly to reach this sanctuary first."

The water elemental figure remained impassive, yet Wen Fang's voice conveyed profound regret and sincerity. "We concede defeat, Mr. Liang. The decision of whether to spare or extinguish us rests entirely with you. We implore only that you grant us a chance of survival. Our Water God Sect's Tidal Brain wishes to converse with you."

Intrigued, Liang Yuan's eyebrows lifted.

"Tidal Brain? What exactly is that?"

Wen Fang lowered his head, replying, "The Tidal Brain is the sacred symbol of the Water God whom we venerate. It is the earthly manifestation of our deity. Upon meeting it, all will become clear to you."
