However, by this time, the number of corpses guarding the sea was increasing, and the underwater volcano was about to erupt, causing an even greater disaster, so these sea creatures were all fleeing.
Mai Shude has done her best; now it's up to the fate of the Trieste.
In the ocean, Chu Zihang used Junyan to accelerate his ascent, while Lu Mingfei called on Yuan Zhisheng to use the Sumeru Throne to pull them up.
When Genji heard that the three people underwater had actually completed the mission, he was very excited and immediately arranged for people to pull the Trieste ashore.
However, Shigeo Miyamoto said that the winch of the Sumeru pedestal had been damaged by the Corpse Guardians, and there were Corpse Guardians all around. It would take six people to pull it up. Moreover, the Sumeru pedestal could only hold on for another fifteen minutes before it sank. It would take at least half an hour to pull the Sumeru pedestal up.
When they first ascended the Sumeru throne, they confidently told Caesar and his men that it was an unsinkable throne, but in just fifteen minutes, it was about to sink.
Yuan Zhisheng didn't turn around; he knew Gu Ran must be wearing a sneer.
"Hey, aren't you coming over to help?" Crow called to Gu Ran to come and pull the winch, because they needed six people and they didn't have enough manpower right now.
Gu Ran said, "I told you, this is the mess you created, and I will not help. Of course, as I said, you certainly won't risk saving them either, and you will eventually give up."
Genji squinted, saying nothing, but instead, together with Crow and Yaksha, pulled the winch to bring the motor to its initial speed and restore power to the winch.
However, at this time, the number of zombie guards increased, and the three of them had to deal with the zombie guards while also pulling the winch, so they really couldn't take care of each other.
Just then, Sakura Yabuki arrived. Genji thought she was there to help, but Sakura told him that it was too late.
Yes, it's too late. More and more corpses are coming out, and the Sumeru Throne can't hold out for another fifteen minutes.
The Snake Clan has deployed their ultimate weapon—Uesugi Erii.
Erii Uesugi can kill any living creature within her domain, and the Trieste is within Erii's killing domain.
No one can stop her.
At this moment, Genji received a call from Tachibana Masamune, who told him to give up. The people below were going to die. In the yakuza, it was okay to sacrifice anyone. A small sacrifice was worth it for the happiness of many. Genji didn't need to continue sacrificing.
Yuan Zhisheng blankly put down the phone, then recalled Gu Ran's earlier mockery:
"The noble head of the Yuan family couldn't bear to sacrifice himself to save you..."
By this time, the helicopter had arrived. Genji took one last look at the sea, then boarded the helicopter instead of rescuing them.
He can't die now; there are more important things to do.
His retainers, Crow and Yaksha, exchanged a glance, both understanding that their young master had genuinely wanted to save the fool below, but was powerless to do so.
What annoyed them was that Gu Ran had predicted everything.
"Our young master isn't afraid of death, he just wants to protect more people. It's meaningless for him to die here now!" Crow shouted to Gu Ran, who was not far away.
He hoped that Gu Ran would go with them, at least to kidnap him and prove to him that they were not cowards. However, the battle with the Fierce Ghosts later on was also very important.
Gu Ran used a flashlight to type a Morse code message: "Goodbye."
Yaksha was stunned: "He's gone mad! Without a helicopter, how did he leave this area? The nearest coastline is 120 nautical miles (2 kilometers) away!"
Yuan Zhisheng looked at Gu Ran. At this moment, many of the corpse guards jumped onto the Sumeru Ship to surround Gu Ran.
Gu Ran, with his Dragon-Slaying Sword tucked at his waist, instantly made his move. The sword was drawn, drawing a beautiful arc of sword flowers in front of him, severing the heads of all the surrounding corpse guards!
The next second, the Dragon Slayer Sword was sheathed, the movement extremely graceful.
"Let's go, we don't need to worry about him." Genjiro boarded the helicopter, and Sakura, Yasha, and Crow, seeing Gu Ran's strength, followed him up.
It turns out that this seemingly carefree person from headquarters is actually the most powerful weapon.
……
Gu Ran was still on the Sumeru, using his Sharingan to observe Uesugi Erii not far away.
Suddenly, a gap appeared in the overcast sky, and the bright moonlight shone down from below like a spotlight, illuminating Erii's slender figure.
She wore a red and white shrine maiden outfit, wielding a samurai sword on her slender wrist, her fair face bearing an ancient majesty.
Her appearance does have many similarities to Nono's, but their temperaments are very different. Nono is a straightforward mature woman and a little crazy, while Erii is like a quiet girl next door.
But she's not the girl next door; she's the ultimate weapon!
As she wielded the katana, she resembled a female sword saint, each strike emitting a cutting incantation, and a corpse guardian would be severed before her eyes.
Within her domain, she issued a severing incantation, intending to cut off everything.
This is the power of her words—judgment!
A terrifying and extremely destructive word of power.
The judgment contained an absolute will to sever, and everything within the domain was forcibly suppressed. Erii used her domain to freeze the Corpse Guardian in the sea. The Corpse Guardian was like the overgrown weeds she had seen in the wild when she was a child; Erii could remove the apical dominance of the weeds with a simple wave of her hand.
The scope of the 'trial' is constantly expanding. Gu Ran really wanted to try using Susanoo to withstand a wave of attacks, but in the end, he didn't try it. It was too dangerous here. He would try it another time.
He had already copied the trial using his Sharingan.
The next second, he suddenly pulled out an anti-materiel sniper rifle from somewhere, fired a shot into the sky, and then immediately jumped into the sea and dived dozens of meters.
"He's gone mad!" On the helicopter, Genjiro's retainer, Raven, was stunned when he saw Gu Ran jump into the sea, knowing that there were corpse guardians and Erii's Word of Power domain below.
Even if they aren't killed by the horde of corpses, they will be severed by Erii's 'Judgment'.
Erii's Word of Power has an extremely large range; the entire sea surface, one kilometer in diameter, was frozen by Erii, and most of the corpse guardians that ran out from the seabed were killed by Erii.
Jumping into the sea at this moment would be suicide!
Sakura Yabuki glanced at the young master, Genjiro, and immediately arranged for searchlights to illuminate the seabed, but they still couldn't find any trace of Gu Ran.
“No need to look anymore.” Genji thought to himself, this Gu Ran from headquarters seems unaware of Erii’s abilities and thinks that jumping into the sea will save her.
Erii is the strongest. Once her domain is activated, even Genjiro is powerless and can only withstand it.
If an ordinary person were to try to withstand Erii's Word of Power, there would only be one outcome: death.
Because Erii gave the order to die!
No matter how strong Gu Ran is, he cannot survive.
Just like the three people in the ocean, no one can survive in Erii's domain.
This is also why Genji no longer insisted on rescuing the three people from the Trieste; there was no need to make unnecessary sacrifices.
That's how he comforted himself.
……
At this moment, Gu Ran appeared more than 5000 meters in the air.
His anti-materiel sniper rifle bullets were already imprinted with the Flying Thunder God Technique mark; he jumped into the sea only to conceal his teleportation.
High in the sky, he used Earth Release: Super Light Heavy Rock Technique to fly, and then used Ninjutsu: Camouflage Concealment to make himself invisible, so as not to be observed by Kaguya or Norma from the sky using satellites.
Most of the helicopters deployed by the Sheqi Eight Families were armed helicopters, which flew at low altitudes, generally below 1,000 meters.
Gu Ran, being 5,000 meters in the air, would go unnoticed.
The sea was vast, and Yuan Zhisheng and the others thought Gu Ran couldn't escape, but he could fly.
As long as you can fly, the ocean isn't actually that scary.
Even if Japan were to sink, he could calmly fly in the sky and watch how it would sink.
At this moment, Gu Ran sensed the Flying Thunder God mark on the seabed. During the small meeting, Gu Ran left the Flying Thunder God mark on all three of them, so he was able to know their current situation.
The Trieste, submerged in the ocean, stopped surfacing. The Sumeru pedestal did not respond to their calls, and no matter how Chu Zihang called from the seabed, no one answered.
Caesar was unconscious at this moment, and Lu Mingfei was trembling beside him.
The Ghastine Viper sensed the presence of living beings inside the Trieste and began desperately gnawing at the submersible's hull.
Ultimately, the submersible ruptured, like a raw egg with its casing broken open, and countless Ghastosaurus vipers, like flies, prepared to devour the people inside.
The most terrifying thing in the ocean is the Corpse Guardian made from pure-blooded dragons. The dragon-shaped Corpse Guardian has also discovered Lu Mingfei and his companions and is preparing to kill them.
Chu Zihang unleashed the domain of the Sovereign Flame, preparing to perish together with the Ghost-Toothed Dragon Viper that had entered the deep-sea submersible.
However, an even larger domain forcibly covered Chu Zihang's Sovereign Flame!
That was Uesugi Erii's domain. She submerged into the sea with an iceberg and countless ice cross spears. The iceberg carried the command of certain death and severance, slaughtering all the Ghost-toothed Dragon Vipers and Corpse Guardians!
Even the strongest pure-blooded dragon corpse guardian had its spine pierced by the Ice Cross, which carried it back to the ten-thousand-meter abyss.
In the deep sea, Lu Mingfei struggled helplessly without oxygen when suddenly a familiar face appeared before his eyes.
"No...no no?" He seemed a little uncertain.
Chapter 390 Coming ashore
Lu Mingfei wasn't sure if the person he saw was Nuonuo, because although they looked very similar, their temperaments were quite different.
He instinctively hugged her, seeking comfort in her arms.
Erii Uesugi, who was originally cold and ruthless, like Unit-01 going berserk after a power outage, suddenly regained her sparkle in her eyes.
Her eyes held the curiosity of a small animal and the innocence of a child, her bright eyes looking at Lu Mingfei with a strange expression.
Erii was very agile in the sea. She first broke free from Lu Mingfei's embrace, and then, like a mermaid, circled around him, watching his sad and crying expression.
Is he afraid of dying?
Erii put her diving helmet over Lu Mingfei's face and pointed to the water.
Lu Mingfei shook his head. There were still several hundred meters to go on the sea, and he simply didn't have the strength to go up.
“Don’t die.”
In a daze, he seemed to hear Erii's voice in his mind.
But Lu Mingfei only remembered Nuonuo's name, and Erii looked a lot like Nuonuo.
“Don’t die.”
Erii's voice rang out again, and she stuffed a small rubber duck into Lu Mingfei's hand.
Then, she floated up and left.
Lu Mingfei seemed to recall the scene at the bottom of the Three Gorges, when he held the dying Nuonuo and said to her in a kingly tone, "Don't die."
Now, he doesn't want to die either, because Nono hasn't given up on him yet.
Just as Lu Mingfei was about to lose consciousness, a tall, slender figure in the sea grabbed him.
Mai Shude, at this moment, is in her Little Dragon form, able to move underwater without oxygen, just like a fish.
