"Pfft." As he watched the two disappear into the sea, inspiration suddenly struck Chu Feng. After locking onto the direction they were heading, he slipped away from the others' line of sight and secretly dove into the water. Activating his secret technique, the Azure Dragon Movement Technique, he set off in pursuit.
"Damn it, I can't catch up at all. They're just too fast." Unfortunately, the gap in their strength was simply too vast. Even though Chu Feng possessed an ultimate secret technique, he couldn't hope to keep up with them.
"Hey, hey, big brother, are you trying to catch up to those two?" Just as Chu Feng was about to despair, a sweet voice suddenly came from within his arms.
He looked down to see Xiao Yuer, that peculiar little girl, blinking her large, watery eyes as she looked up at him.
"Mm." Chu Feng nodded instinctively.
Who would have thought Xiao Yuer would suddenly flash a brilliant smile, revealing a row of pearly white teeth, and then say: "Big brother, grab Xiao Yuer's foot. Hold on tight!"
"Okay." Chu Feng knew Xiao Yuer intended to help him chase after the demon beast and Ya Fei, so he didn't hesitate. As he spoke, he grabbed her small, pale-white ankle.
"Whoosh!" However, the moment Chu Feng's hand closed around Xiao Yuer's ankle, he felt a tremendous force rush towards him. The surrounding water currents transformed into streaks of white, whizzing past him on all sides.
Xiao Yuer was swimming forward at a speed that far surpassed even the Azure Dragon Movement Technique. Because the speed was so extreme, even Chu Feng's expression changed dramatically, and he couldn't help but gasp.
"Xiao Yuer's speed in water... it's actually reached this level?"
Chu Feng was utterly shocked. He had always known Xiao Yuer was special and could swim incredibly fast, but he never imagined her speed would reach such an astonishing level. It was simply beyond his imagination.
In that moment, Chu Feng grew more and more curious about Xiao Yuer's origins. She looked like such an ordinary girl on the surface, so how could she possess such amazing abilities?
"Swish, swish, swish!"
"Hey, hey!!!"
Xiao Yuer swam with incredible speed, like a flood dragon in her element. As she moved, she let out happy, joyful sounds. Under these conditions, Xiao Yuer quickly caught up to Ya Fei and the demon beast.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
At this moment, Ya Fei and the demon beast were already locked in battle. Layer after layer of violent ripples spread outwards, as seawater and sand churned violently in the depths of the ocean, filling this entire stretch of sea.
The might of a Fifth-rank Martial Lord's clash was simply terrifying. Even Chu Feng didn't dare get too close, for if he were caught up in it, even the residual shockwaves might be enough to take his life.
Under these circumstances, Chu Feng could only activate his secret technique, the Xuan Wu Shield, to better protect himself.
Furthermore, after locking onto the demon beast's position, Chu Feng began communicating with it via voice transmission. However, the demon beast simply ignored him, as if it couldn't receive his message at all.
"Who exactly are you? Why didn't you kill me before?"
"You must know who I am. You saw through my mask and know I'm Chu Feng, don't you?"
"Just who are you? Why are you indiscriminately killing people here? Please answer me. I mean you no harm. Perhaps I can even help you."
But Chu Feng didn't give up. He was convinced the demon beast had heard his transmissions, and he believed the demon beast possessed intelligence.
