I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1357: The Strongest Woman in the World

Shock!

A massive wave of astonishment swept over every Demon Hunter's face. The horrifying sight unfolding before them was infinitely more devastating than the tsunami itself, leaving them utterly speechless!

They remained frozen in place for what felt like an eternity, unable to pull themselves out of the daze.

Even someone as renowned as Feng Tianci muttered in a trance, as though trapped in some surreal dream.

"This..."

Not until the walkie-talkie buzzed in his grip did he snap out of it and glance downward!

"Elder Feng!"

"What's the status of our Hongdu coastline?!"

"We've gotten urgent secret updates from multiple coastal areas. A enigmatic man in a suit and dress shoes showed up in key seaside cities and effortlessly halted the tsunamis!"

Upon hearing the frantic yet thrilled tone, Feng Tianci, who had barely regained his composure, found himself stunned once more!

The awe-inspiring entity they had witnessed moments ago wielded techniques beyond comprehension. No records in humanity's hidden archives could rival him. And now, such an individual had materialized in numerous locations. How on earth was that feasible?!

Precisely what sort of enigmatic and fearsome group did this represent?

He abruptly came to his senses and lifted his gaze skyward, discovering that the silhouette had vanished entirely, as if it had merged seamlessly with the world and faded away.

Only the agents dispatched earlier to shadow Wu Tao sensed a vague sense of recognition from the figure that had just emerged.

Suddenly.

Feng Tianci's eyes dilated sharply, plunging him into utter disbelief!

Was it possible that a deity had actually come down to earth?!

The Demon Hunters around him were struck even more silent with terror, their gazes brimming with profound, inexpressible veneration. Even those who had collapsed to the ground like survivors of a nightmare stayed mute.

The enigmatic presence etched itself indelibly into their minds, destined to linger forever, while sparking boundless questions and respect.

Exactly who was that earlier figure?!

Meanwhile.

Jaw-dropping ripples of shock erupted throughout the Xia Kingdom. While everyday folks remained oblivious to the full story and simply celebrated the averted catastrophe, within the Demon Hunter circles, the mysterious man's fame had soared to divine levels!

And the one behind it all, Wu Tao, was presently submerged in the depths of the sea.

Wu Tao had merely tapped into a fraction of his cultivation base to unleash a colossal calamity, ultimately drawing out the enormous creature lurking far below the waves. This beast resembled a colossal octopus, yet sported a human-like head and piercing eagle eyes, exuding an intensely eerie vibe.

It burst from the ocean's surface amid fierce gales and surges, making the tiny island tremble violently.

This was on par with a level nine quake!

Observing this spectacle, Xu Rong, who had weathered shock after shock, was now so terrified that she showed no response whatsoever, her mind on the verge of shutdown!

As she watched Wu Tao stride across the waters, even soaring through the air to battle the massive monster...

Xu Rong couldn't track his actions anymore, rooted to the spot on the island, trembling uncontrollably.

Before she had a chance to steal a few more anxious glances.

Wu Tao was already positioned directly before the gravely wounded beast's skull, preparing to pose a question.

"Hey..."

Unexpectedly, the moment his words escaped, a bolt of lightning crashed down from above!

"Crack!"

Accompanied by this sharp crack, the monster was charred utterly black, plummeting to the seabed like a pair of colossal meat mountains, devoid of any vital signs. It was thoroughly deceased.

Wu Tao squinted toward the heavens.

"Such a ruthless way to eliminate a witness!"

He had at last secured a prisoner for questioning, only for it to perish in that instant. All the effort he had poured into stirring up this chaos had turned pointless.

Frustration twisted Wu Tao's features in anger!

"Damn it, I slipped up..."

"I never imagined they'd dispatch it like that. Now the damn trail is snapped once more—how do I even continue from here?"

After ruffling his hair and pondering extensively, Wu Tao drew a blank.

With no other option, he headed back to the islet first and planned to probe the stunning captain for details.

He maintained that casual demeanor, hands jammed into his short pants' pockets, sporting common street sandals, and sporting tousled hair. Yet, his arrival made Xu Rong's expression tighten with dread, stripped of any prior disdain.

"Why, why are you staring at me that way..."

Noticing the lovely captain's anxious visage, Wu Tao sighed in exasperation.

In this realm, a being like him was undoubtedly intimidating. Even if not civilians who encountered him, it would prove tough for them to process immediately. Just a sliver of his cultivation base displayed was sufficient to demolish their perceptions.

He could only strive to seem more approachable, grinning as he cautiously initiated dialogue.

"Relax a bit, I only want to inquire about something. Have you come across tales of a woman deemed the mightiest and most enigmatic force in existence? Her powers stand unrivaled, and merely her name prompts others to steer clear of confrontation?"

The instant his words landed.

Xu Rong's gaze turned vacant briefly, suggesting she had some recollection of this person.

"The strongest woman..."

"The one you're referring to must be Sister Han."

Wu Tao crouched low, his eyes gleaming with interest.

"Sister Han?"

"What information do you have? Share it with me."

Despite employing his gentlest manner, to Xu Rong, it resonated with an overwhelming, undefinable pressure, like standing trial for survival. She dared not withhold a thing, spilling forth all she knew.

"Sister Han stands as a mythic icon."

"Legends claim she has far exceeded every global organization, drifting beyond national borders, untouched by any conflicts or alliances. She ranks as the world's most elusive female figure."

"An entity so arcane is beyond the grasp of regular folk. Even in lore, I've only caught snippets from my superiors. Beyond that, I'm clueless on further details."

Wu Tao gave a subtle nod, then pressed on.

"Hmm..."

"So, do you know the means to locate her?"

At this, Xu Rong paused in surprise. She mulled it over extensively before responding with care.

"Find her?"

"A figure of that stature—I've merely heard whispers. Pingjiang City lacks the standing to interact with her. To reach her, you'd likely need our Demon Hunter Department's central office. That's the sole avenue I can envision for connecting with Sister Han."

The further Wu Tao heard, the more viable it seemed, his eyes sparkling.

"If there's a path!"

"Quick, assist me in figuring out how to contact her immediately."

As his statement concluded, Xu Rong, who had divulged all her knowledge, displayed a hesitant look.

"Ah, this..."

"As merely a captain, I lack the skills or clearance for that."

"Only if the Chief Captain escalates it higher might there be a shot..."

Upon these words, Wu Tao felt no letdown and delved straight to the core.

"The Chief Captain?"

"I recall from our prior encounter, you led the vanguard, and in the trailing vehicle sat a bespectacled man who appeared authoritative. Could he be the Chief Captain?"

Xu Rong nodded instinctively, unwilling to deceive.

"Yes, Captain Hao serves as the Chief Captain for our Pingjiang City Demon Hunter Department. Solely he possesses the authority to petition the headquarters on issues involving Sister Han's caliber."

Right after she spoke.

A whoosh echoed as Wu Tao's arm pierced through space, extending into an obscure void. Witnessing this, Xu Rong's eyes bulged in amazement, gulping down her intense fear...

Pingjiang City.

Demon Hunter Department.

The phone buzzed in the office. The Chief Captain snatched it up hastily, and as the caller's words filled his ears, his eyes grew rounder!

"Old Hao! Amazing tidings, truly outstanding!"

"What's happening?!"

"Enigmatic individuals have surfaced at coastal lines nationwide! They command powers defying belief. One alone eradicated the entire tsunami crisis! Urgent dispatches about the calamity's end are circulating the country now. The globe remains secure, save for that spot where they enjoy their 'charmed existence'!"

"One individual?! Who holds such might?! Can we trust this intel?!"

"It's a direct secret bulletin—how could it be fabricated! Their origins are a mystery, yet they materialized at various shores to thwart the dire threat to our Xia Nation! No matter their allegiance, they act as allies, not adversaries. This is an immense boon for our millions of people!"

"That's splendid! Utterly marvelous!"

"Beep, beep, beep..."

After ending the call, Captain Hao sank into his seat and exhaled deeply!

"Phew..."

"The heavens surely favor our Xia Nation. Who knew a faction of such formidable and arcane strength would step in to aid us!"

"This is incredible!"

The deeper he dwelled on it, the greater his elation. Captain Hao's strained nerves at last eased. He dismissed further speculation; his features radiated ease and delight, overjoyed for the myriad citizens spared from doom.

Caught in the thrill, he even fished out an elegant flask from his pocket. Unconcerned about being on the clock, he geared up for a satisfying swig in triumph!

Precisely then.

A tear in space ripped open directly ahead, forming a strange vortex!

Captain Hao figured his overwhelming bliss was causing hallucinations. He squinted for a better view, only to confirm the endless abyss hovered plainly in his sight...

In a flash, his form went rigid.

This occurrence was utterly unprecedented, laced with enigma and the arcane. Even as the Demon Hunting Department's leader, shock widened his eyes, leaving him clueless on how to proceed.

Before he could scrutinize it further.

An arm thrust forth from the abyss, draining the color from his face in horror!

"Holy shit!"

The instinctive expletive had just escaped when Captain Hao was hauled inward. Merely his untouched flask rolled onto the couch as the vortex sealed shut in a blink, rendering the office pristine as ever.

Such disturbances weren't rare.

This instant, all manner of positive updates flooded the Demon Hunting Department. It buzzed with assorted stunned outbursts like "Holy shit!", so no one paid the Head Captain's room any mind.

Thousands of miles distant.

Captain Hao was pulled free by one hand, plopping onto a beach with a totally dazed expression...
