Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1290 - 624: Uncovering the Clues

Against the voice echoing from the clouds, Deng Ze declared, "I pay no mind to the squabbles below, but if you resort to bullying the weak, I will intervene."
"Heh, you'll intervene? And what if you do? If you possess the courage, face me directly!" The voice from the cloud scoffed.
Deng Ze let out a light chuckle. "An Ice Attribute Superpower is quite potent and has a suppressing effect on my Water Attribute Superpower. Why would I engage you head-on?"
"I repeat, if you dare to overpower the lesser with your might, do not hold me responsible if I also annihilate your subordinates."
The individual within the cloud, enraged by his brazenness, burst into laughter despite their anger.
"Hahaha, excellent, excellent, excellent!"
"Do you consider yourself formidable? A nuclear weapon? Attempting to intimidate me with deterrence?"
"Today, I shall demonstrate to you the true extent of the Lord of Horses' power!"
Bam!
The cloud abruptly detonated, instantly transforming into a tempest of icy sand that howled and swirled ferociously towards the cloud Deng Ze had become.
Upon witnessing this, Deng Ze promptly dissipated the cloud, morphing into a mass of grayish-black water vapor, swiftly evading the onslaught.
As a user of the Water Attribute Superpower, he was naturally at a disadvantage against an Ice Attribute Superpower User.
Furthermore, his adversary was a master whose Main Attribute had reached a staggering 100 points!
In terms of attributes, the opponent held a slight edge over Deng Ze.
"Hmph, were it not for being ensnared in the Shadow World by Liang, my Main Attribute would have already reached 100 points!"
His form weaved and darted, navigating through the swirling ice sand.
The surrounding water vapor transformed continuously, gradually solidifying into particles of ice sand.
"Hmph, you insist on forcing my hand?"
Deng Ze snorted coldly. "My heavy water freezes at 3.82°. Once unleashed, it solidifies. Solid heavy water might not be inferior to your ice shards!"
With this thought, he abruptly ceased his retreat.
Instead, he gestured with his hands, and in a flash, superpowers converged, coalescing into a vast water mist!
The water mist condensed rapidly, instantly reforming into an immense expanse of ice sand.
"Hmm?"
The approaching Ice Attribute Superpower User voiced his confusion. Could this opponent also conjure frosty attacks?
With a mental command, countless grains of ice sand gathered, instantly shaping into myriad ice blades that fiercely slashed towards the opponent's heavy water ice sand.
Rumble!
The ice blades collided with the heavy water ice sand, unleashing a deafening roar.
The Ice Attribute Superpower User intended to instantly seize control of the opponent's ice sand.
The fundamental reason Ice Attributes suppress Water Attribute Superpower Users is by freezing their attacks and then usurting control.
However, on this occasion, the Ice Attribute Superpower User invading Fanshan Island had clearly miscalculated.
As he attempted to gain dominion over the opponent's ice sand, he abruptly discovered he could not control it!
It appeared this ice sand was not truly ice in the conventional sense!
Deng Ze paused, a triumphant smirk playing on his lips.
"Did you truly believe I feared you?"
"Heavy water and regular water are not the same, brat. Perish!"
Whoosh!
The surrounding heavy water ice sand rapidly converged, instantly encasing everything from all sides.
In a moment, it sealed off the mass of icy fog within.
The air churning inside the ice fog desperately surged left and right, narrowly escaping the clutches of the heavy water ice sand through several evasive maneuvers.
Seeing this, Deng Ze did not hesitate, directly hurling a talisman stone crackling with electrical energy!
This was the Thunder Rune, an essential component for the Water God Sect's Thunder Cannon!
Upon activation, this rune generates formidable thunderstorms, forming terrifying thunder bombs.
At this juncture, Deng Ze forcefully embedded the Thunder Rune into the heavy water ice sand.
Boom!
A violent explosion erupted. The Thunder Rune instantly transformed into a fearsome thunderstorm, bathing the surroundings in blinding lightning.
And at the moment of impact with the thunderstorm, the heavy water ice sand also detonated with ferocious power.
Boom boom boom——!
In mere seconds, the intense detonation generated immense heat, instantly vaporizing the heavy water ice sand and breaking down the heavy water molecules into deuterium.
With the involvement of deuterium, the explosion's destructive force magnified exponentially!
In a mere instant, the area where heavy water had been became a raging inferno.
Onlookers near the Dark Abyss Mouth collectively tilted their heads upwards, witnessing the spectacle unfold, each displaying expressions of utter astonishment.
"What is happening?"
"Experts are engaged in battle in the sky!"
"Could that be Vice Island Lord Huang?"
Zhang Peng and Gao Yucheng exchanged confused glances.
"Who is up there?"
"Wu Ying?"
"That's impossible! Wu Ying's superpower doesn't possess such might," Zhang Peng immediately retorted, shaking his head.
"Never mind that for now, let's first drive these scoundrels back."
"Fight!"
In a flash, the battle escalated to its peak.
The defenders at the Dark Abyss Mouth transitioned swiftly from a defensive posture to launching a counterattack.
Meanwhile, the invading force on Fanshan Island found themselves in a hasty retreat, falling back rapidly towards their starting point.
Mere moments into their escape, a new team materialized directly behind them on the expansive, snow-covered terrain.
As this approaching group observed the unfolding events from a distance, they witnessed a strikingly tall, beautiful woman with exceptionally long legs soaring through the air, her form dissolving into mist as she flew.
Mid-flight, she reconfigured into a stream of water, gazing down upon the scene below.
Suddenly, her eyes gleamed, and she exclaimed, "Zhang Peng!"
Zhang Peng, looking upwards, recognized her instantly and displayed a clear expression of delighted surprise.
"Miss Han, stop them quickly! These individuals are the enemy, invading Fanshan Island!"
The newly arrived individual was none other than Han Xiangman, who had just journeyed from Yangshan!
Upon hearing Zhang Peng’s urgent plea, Han Xiangman didn't hesitate, issuing a sharp command: "Stop them!"
Luo Hongmian and the contingent accompanying her adopted fierce expressions, drawing their weapons and readying their firearms.
"Bang, bang, bang—"
The sharp crack of gunfire pierced the air, sending a barrage of energy-infused projectiles hurtling forward like an unstoppable torrent.
Amidst the deafening roars, the fleeing group collapsed onto the ground, their cries of agony echoing.
With a graceful sweep of her hand, Han Xiangman conjured bursts of water blades, which materialized into countless razor-sharp projectiles that descended like a relentless downpour.
Instantly, the water blades whistled through the air, resembling a celestial dragon in motion as they crashed upon the embattled group.
A fresh wave of screams erupted from the invaders, who desperately tried to evade the onslaught, their wails filling the air.
Some even dropped to their knees immediately, desperately begging for mercy.
"Spare us, please spare us."
"We surrender! We surrender!"
"Don't kill me! I surrender! I surrender!"
...
As one individual yielded, the others quickly followed suit, casting aside their weapons.
Han Xiangman and her team refrained from any further bloodshed, instead moving forward to apprehend the now-subdued group.
Zhang Peng hastened over, a broad smile gracing his features. "Captain Han, what a surprise! What brings you here?"
Han Xiangman returned his smile, her expression then turning serious. "Mr. Liang received your message and is aware of the situation involving Yang Baoshan and Beichen Island. He dispatched me to aid you in retaking Fanshan Island as swiftly as possible."
"Once Beichen Island deals with Yang Baoshan, they will undoubtedly set their sights on Linjiang City. Yangshan is not far from their current position, and Fanshan Island lies directly between us."
"If they manage to seize Fanshan Island, the future threat to Yangshan will escalate dramatically."
"Therefore, Mr. Liang stressed the utmost importance of reclaiming Fanshan Island without delay."
Hearing this, Zhang Peng's face contorted with a hint of bitterness. "Is Mr. Liang displeased?"
"Sigh, it's not that we've been idle. It's simply that this enemy force is exceptionally powerful."
"They not only possess experts with elemental abilities but the leaders stationed at Fanshan have main attributes that already reach 100 points."
"We've attempted assaults multiple times, only to be repelled, even pushed back towards the Dark Abyss Mouth."
"Had it not been for Shadow Dragon defending the Dark Abyss Mouth, and Wu Ying's proficiency in stealth attacks, we might not have even held onto that location."
Han Xiangman's expression grew graver upon hearing this. "Are there really enemy experts with main attributes reaching 100? How many such individuals are there?"
"Three."
"What types of superpower users are they?"
Zhang Peng promptly responded, "Two are Ice Attribute users, and one possesses the Spirit Attribute."
Han Xiangman's face immediately clouded over, lamenting the misfortune of encountering Ice Attribute superpower users.
As a Water Attribute user herself, she knew that facing Ice Attribute users placed her at a considerable disadvantage.
She then frowned, a flicker of puzzlement crossing her features. "Something doesn't quite add up. Why are there so many Ice Attribute experts?"
"The Ice Attribute Genetic Species is not commonly found."
Suddenly, a thought struck her, causing her expression to shift subtly.
"The Ice Attribute Genetic Species was most likely to be discovered in Mist City in the past."
"Could Beichen Island have some connection to Mist City?"
Possessing a naturally sharp and perceptive mind, she recalled that Liang Yuan had also ventured into Mist City when he acquired his Ice Attribute Genetic Species.
Though he failed to secure the Heart Core and Brain Core at that time, he had undeniably reaped significant benefits from his expedition to Mist City.
These advantages had clearly provoked the Master of Fog City's interests.
The two had long since been sworn enemies.
Now, the sudden appearance of numerous Ice Attribute users among their adversaries made her unable to dismiss her suspicions.
"Are there indeed many Ice Attribute experts on the opposing side?"
"I'm referring to individuals beyond those two with a primary attribute score of 100."
Zhang Peng was momentarily taken aback. "I hadn't paid that much attention."
"Old Gao, did you notice anything?"
"It does appear there are quite a few," Gao Yucheng replied.
At this juncture, Wen Fang interjected, "Captain Han, there are indeed a considerable number of Ice Attribute users. While they may not all be top-tier experts, each has managed to acquire a Genetic Species."
Han Xiangman's expression grew graver. "Let's proceed; escort me to Wu Ying immediately. I must meet with Yang Baoshan's associates."
"Understood."
The group moved with haste towards the Dark Abyss Mouth, Zhang Peng unable to hold back his curiosity. "Captain Han, what's the significance? Are Ice Attribute users that exceptional?"
Han Xiangman responded with solemnity. "The Ice Attribute is considered quite rare, not as commonplace as the Five Elements. Typically, finding even one Ice Attribute user among a thousand individuals is challenging."
"However, on this small Fanshan Island, such a concentration of Ice Attribute users suggests a consistent, behind-the-scenes source for Ice Attribute Genetic Species."
"And from what I understand, there is indeed a location capable of providing such a source."
"Where?" Zhang Peng inquired with urgency.
"Mist City!"
Zhang Peng's eyes widened in surprise, instantly recalling Liang Yuan's previous expedition to Mist City.
He quickly pressed further, "Are you suggesting that Mr. Liang explored Mist City in the past?"
"Indeed, Mr. Liang procured a substantial quantity of Ice Attribute Blood Crystals within Mist City."
"You should be aware that the Blood Crystals found on the Floating Island represent the most significant resource. These resources are always considered the private property of the Island Lord, never accessible to outsiders."
"For Mr. Liang to have obtained so many Ice Attribute Blood Crystals, he must have seized them from the City Lord of Mist City."
"I harbor concerns that these individuals might be acting under the influence of Mist City's Floating Island."
Zhang Peng's demeanor turned serious upon hearing this.
It is known that the proprietor of Mist City's Floating Island, the Master of Fog City, acquired the Floating Island prior to Liang Yuan's own endeavors. After gaining possession of the Floating Island, this individual's power must have surged exponentially, likely reaching heights currently unattainable by anyone else.
If such a formidable entity is orchestrating a plot against Fanshan Island, their ultimate objective might extend far beyond the mere annexation of the island itself.
Zhang Peng immediately proposed, "Should we not swiftly inform Mr. Liang?"
Han Xiangman stated gravely, "Let us first confirm the facts. We need to locate Yang Baoshan's people and ascertain the complete details."
