The martial artist at the end of the hallway shouted loudly, “Be careful, these sea monsters are mostly at the Body Refining Stage, very difficult to deal with.”

Zhou Leng said nothing, stepping with Eight Trigrams, heading towards the sea monsters to strike.

Sidestepping to avoid a fish-man’s attack, one palm pierced through its chest,

His body took advantage to charge forward to the sea monster on the left, his figure like a giant elephant, crashing into it with an Iron Mountain Lean.

The sea monster let out a miserable scream, its upper body collapsed limply, folded with its legs, and fell to the ground.

Then retreated a step, another step and a side kick, his right foot pierced through a sea monster’s abdomen, his foot got stuck.

The sea monster was extremely fierce, even severely injured, it didn’t dodge or evade, grabbing Zhou Leng’s right calf with one hand and slapping towards Zhou Leng with the other.

Zhou Leng twisted his body, spinning in the air, his right foot rotated in the sea monster’s abdomen, delivering a spinning kick with his left foot.

Pop!

A blur flashed, the sea monster’s head flew up, exploding on the wall, blood splattering over the wall.

Retracting his right foot, he quickly retreated, seeking a new opportunity.

Seeing such a bloody scene, the sea monsters were momentarily stunned.

“He’s a master!” someone at the end of the hallway exclaimed.

“Bro, you’re awesome, we’re counting on you!”

“Kill the sea monsters! Kill all the demons!”

The blue-skinned sea monster at the forefront cursed a few times, abandoning its attack on the humans at the end of the hallway, turning towards the back of the sea monster group, looking at Zhou Leng.

This blue-skinned sea monster was taller than ordinary sea monsters, over two meters tall, its head nearly touching the hallway ceiling.

Its body was covered in blue scales, and bone fish fins like sharp blades were behind its head, elbows, and knees, the cracks on its gills were hideous and terrifying.

Its eyes shimmered with a faint golden color, a member of the Sea Demon Royal Family.

With a grab of its right hand, the water slowly converged to form a trident.

Zhou Leng saw the slow speed, guessing its mana was depleted, and did not stop him, allowing him to continue gathering.

This was the hallway.

Its trident was at least three meters long.

“Master, be careful, this guy is especially strong, he killed our Late Stage Body Refining security chief! If it weren’t for its mana being low now, we’d all be dead.”

Zhou Leng asked, “Royal Family at Mid-Stage Body Refining, right? How are its skills?”

“Very strong, clearly a veteran, experienced and robust like a giant, certainly able to withstand several Late Stage Body Refining attacks. The Royal Sea Sirens are all extraordinary,” said one person.

The Royal Sea Siren suddenly grinned, speaking in broken Chinese, “Rebellious humans, yet hurting our Royal Family’s Lee’s harm.”

Finishing speaking, it swung its trident, thrusting towards Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng sidestepped, slapping his palm onto the trident.

True Qi and power surged, followed by a bang, the water-concentrated trident broke.

The sea monsters widened their eyes, even the human martial artists were slightly stunned.

The trident seemed weak, formed by water, but it was actually a sea monster’s talent ability, its short-term strength far exceeding steel.

Zhou Leng charged forward, swinging his palm.

The Royal Sea Siren reacted extremely quickly, immediately raising its palm to intercept.

Zhou Leng suddenly stepped rapidly, his body drew an arc, bypassing the Royal Sea Siren’s hand, reaching its side waist.

Perfect Eight Trigrams Step, moving like a phantom.

Zhou Leng leaned forward, falling like a mountain, his entire body and Qi Blood infused into his elbow point.

The elbow point was like a gun tip, touching the Royal Sea Siren’s side waist.

The Royal Sea Siren hurriedly slapped at Zhou Leng, but the side waist felt an indescribable pain and immense force, pushing it back two steps diagonally, crashing into the fish demon behind.

Zhou Leng quickly leaped back, avoiding other fish demons’ attacks.

Other sea monsters dared not pursue, looking towards the Royal Sea Siren.

The Royal Sea Siren lowered its head to look at the side waist, only a piece of demon scale flew off, leaving a faint bruise, it waved its hand, angrily said, “Go!”

After speaking, it first stepped out with its right leg, then stepped…

The violent pain numbed its left half, its left leg weakened, unable to steady on the ground, its knee struck the ground, half-kneeling.

“Ah…”

The Royal Sea Siren suddenly screamed, reaching out to touch the hit side waist.

Externally, nothing seemed visible, but it could sense internally, the internal organs were shattered, blood vessels sealed.

Zhou Leng’s elbow point contained the Qi Force of Overlapping Waves Palm “Still Waters Run Deep.”

This move was extremely difficult, difficult to face the strong defense of sea monsters, unable to release this Qi Force with palm techniques.

Only by relying on the destructive power of the elbow point, breaking the sea monster’s defense, could the Qi Force be sent into the sea monster’s body.

This move was like the deep currents of a calm ocean.

Powerful True Qi, sealing and destroying numerous blood vessels.

Narrow hallway, sea monsters on both sides attacked with waving hands.

At the moment the Royal Sea Siren knelt down, Zhou Leng moved forward, withstanding attacks from other sea monsters, kicked out his right leg.

Left leg stood like a pillar, right leg swept across like ten thousand troops.

Whoosh…

The Royal Sea Siren instinctively raised its left arm to block, but couldn’t use any strength.

Crunch…

Zhou Leng’s sturdy right leg kicked and broke the Royal Sea Siren’s forearm, then kicked the left side of its head.

The Royal Sea Siren screamed miserably, its whole body slid sideways, crashing into the wall.

Zhou Leng’s right hand formed a palm like a blade, True Qi covering his fingertips.

Bracing against other sea monsters’ attacks, he was like a spirit fox, bending forward to spring in front of the Royal Sea Siren.

The Royal Sea Siren hurriedly used its intact right arm to block its head, protecting vital points.

Zhou Leng’s right arm thrust out like a sword.

Following the place where the elbow tip shattered the scales, deeply pierced into the Royal Sea Siren’s waist and abdomen.

Right hand grabbed, swiftly withdrawing his arm, rolling backward, avoiding other sea monsters’ attacks.

Crash…

Zhou Leng’s right hand pulled out a large, bloody mass of intestines.

A gaping hole appeared in the waist of the Royal Sea Siren, with shattered organs and fresh blood spurting like a breached dam.

“Ah…” The Royal Sea Siren let out a miserable scream.

Its right hand was about to grab the pearl necklace around its neck, but due to the pain and paralysis from the spilling intestines, it momentarily lost its focus.

Zhou Leng flung the blood-stained intestines onto the face of the Sea Siren in front, then lunged towards the Royal Sea Siren, grabbed the pearl necklace at its neck, and yanked it off forcefully, scattering the pearls.

Clatter… The pearls rolled chaotically across the floor.

The pearl necklace around the Sea Siren’s neck likely sealed powerful spells, especially for the Royal Sea Siren.

Seeing this, the ordinary Sea Sirens immediately felt a sense of despair.

The Royal Sea Siren regained its senses, looked at the pearls on the ground, spit out a mouthful of blood, and tore out a piece of scale from its neck.

The scale in its hand slowly began to burn, emitting a strange fragrance that quickly spread through the air.

“Protect the young master!” The other Sea Sirens, seeing it tear off the life-saving demon scale to call nearby royals, shouted loudly and dragged it behind them.

Zhou Leng’s gaze was icy as he attacked once more.

The Sea Sirens became increasingly frenzied, but lost their sense of reason, showing numerous openings in front of Zhou Leng.

This was a narrow passage, and no matter how many Sea Sirens there were, only two or three could attack at the same time.

Without the threat of the Royal Sea Siren, Zhou Leng switched to a fierce fighting style, swiftly slaughtering all the Sea Sirens.

The martial artist at the end of the corridor looked at the blood-soaked Zhou Leng and hurried over.

“Expert, how’s your body?”

“Did you get hurt?”

Zhou Leng swallowed a Blood Replenishing Pill and said, “Just superficial wounds. Take me inside; I’m looking for a friend.”

As Zhou Leng walked, he took off his shirt corroded by the Sea Siren’s blood and took out a new camouflage uniform from the Magic Spirit Bag to change into.

“Who are you looking for? Maybe I know them.” The group led Zhou Leng deeper inside.

“Xu Qingjin.”

The group shook their heads.

“There are a hundred or two hundred people inside; the person you’re looking for should be in there.”

Zhou Leng followed them quickly into the underground shelter.

The final iron door stood at the end of the corridor.

“It’s us, we’ve killed the Sea Siren.” The deputy security captain knocked on the door and shouted.

“Really?” a voice asked.

Many martial artists frowned, but the deputy captain patiently said, “Don’t worry, an expert has arrived. Listen, can you hear any fighting or chasing sounds?”

“Oh, okay, I’ll open the door now.”

“Wait…”

The martial artists’ expressions darkened, but they said nothing.

After ten seconds of silence, the people inside finally opened the iron door.

“Don’t blame us, we’re also afraid of the Sea Siren breaking in and endangering the lives of hundreds.” A mall manager in a suit and skirt smiled in explanation, then turned sideways in a gesture of invitation for everyone to come in.

“Xu Qingjin, are you there?” Zhou Leng shouted before entering.

“Ah? Zhou Leng!” A voice full of surprise sounded inside, followed by the rapid clapping of footsteps.

A silhouette rushed out of the door, ran head-on towards Zhou Leng, and instinctively wrapped their arms around Zhou Leng’s waist.

Zhou Leng also wrapped his arms around Xu Qingjin, placing his hands on her back to prevent her from falling.

Xu Qingjin, having just escaped a life-threatening situation, looked up at Zhou Leng, her eyes glowing in the dim corridor, exceedingly joyful. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

“That’s great.” Xu Qingjin wrapped her arms around Zhou Leng’s waist, lifting her heels off the ground and putting them back down, almost jumping with joy.

“Zhou Leng is here?” Mother Xu’s voice sounded from inside.

“Auntie, it’s me.” Zhou Leng replied.

Xu Qingjin then realized how close they were, her face flushing red as she quickly released her arms, stepping back from Zhou Leng’s embrace, lowering her head to tidy her clothes.

The nearby people watched the pair with gracious smiles fit for a grandmother.

“Woof woof…” Huang looked up, smiling with eyes squinting, and let out a soft bark.

“Ah, Huang!” Xu Qingjin took two quick steps forward, crouching in front of Huang to gently stroke its head.

Huang squinted its eyes, grinned, and wagged its tail rapidly.

Zhou Leng looked at the person in the mall security uniform and asked, “Can you take them to other safe shelters?”

The person shook their head helplessly and said, “As you just saw, unless there’s a big figure, other shelters won’t accept us.”

“Is there any other safe place?”

“The Martial Arts Bureau, Martial Mansion, Martial Arts Academy, all are safe, but along the way…” He didn’t finish.

Zhou Leng nodded, glanced around, and knew this place was safer for these hundred-plus people.

“Though this place is temporarily safe, we can’t let our guard down. I suggest assigning more people outside to observe, forming a local network group. If any danger is spotted, notify everyone immediately. Moreover…”

Zhou Leng glanced at Xu Qingjin, who had stood up, and said, “The fight outside continues. Since this place is already safe, I need a group of people to cooperate with those outside and clear out the nearby Fish Demons.”

“I’ll go with you, I’ve already reached Blood Transport Early Period!” Xu Qingjin said.

Huang barked along.

“You stay here obediently, you’re not to go anywhere,” Zhou Leng’s face darkened.

Xu Qingjin reluctantly nodded.

“Huang, watch over Xu Qingjin. If something happens, come find me.”

Huang also nodded.

The others looked at Huang, surprised that it was an animal with a hint of intelligence, which was quite rare.

Zhou Leng discussed with everyone, leaving a few people to continuously observe and act as signal relays.

With five people, he rushed out of Yueda Mall.

Looking around in all directions.
