Bai Zihe's tone was utterly contemptuous.
Towards Lord Seven...
He showed a deep disdain, completely disregarding him, let alone the so-called "lords" he spoke of.
"Kid."
"Since you are so obstinate..."
A resolute expression flashed across Lord Seven's sinister face as he roared, "Open the cargo bay doors, release the puppet, and slay this fellow!"
Hearing this, Murong Mingyue, Chun Tao, and the other women's faces showed a hint of horror.
It was as if...
The puppet he mentioned was an invincible, peerless fierce beast.
Moments later.
"Dong!"
"Dong dong!"
"Dong dong dong!"
Dull thuds resounded from the depths.
After a few breaths.
A towering figure appeared in sight.
This entity...
Stood over two meters tall, its muscles taut and powerful, exuding explosive beauty.
Though it was powerfully built, its speed was not diminished in the slightest.
Each step it took on the floor was like a solemn drum or a morning bell, shaking the heart and soul with profound resonance.
One step, the earth quaked.
One step, the ears roared.
In a series of strides, it arrived before Bai Zihe.
Its aura was vast, surpassing that of a Grandmaster!
At this moment.
This puppet had captured everyone's attention, becoming the sole master of the cruise ship without any doubt.
Its mere presence, with an aura that seemed to reach for the heavens and pluck stars, inspired dread and awe.
This...
Was not a power that should belong to the mortal world.
The men under Lord Seven looked at this being with great emotion.
Clearly, they all knew the world-destroying power it possessed, hence their reverence, as if facing a deity.
As for Murong Mingyue and Chun Tao, the four women...
Their faces turned ashen, their gazes becoming extremely serious.
They, too, understood the terrifying nature of this entity.
Little Junior Brother...
Could he still resist?
Murong Mingyue couldn't help but recall the scene on the helicopter last time.
Under similar circumstances.
Could this human puppet, raised by Lord Seven, survive the extreme, harsh conditions of the massive explosion and remain unharmed?
It was hard to say.
Because, to this day, Murong Mingyue had never seen this puppet unleash its full power.
Often, a mere demonstration was enough to send the opponent to their demise.
Its limits were unknown.
"Dong!"
"Dong dong!"
The puppet arrived beside Lord Seven, like the most loyal and honest guard, standing silently by his side.
But everyone knew.
Once it unleashed its might, it would be earth-shattering.
With such a powerful helper, Lord Seven became instantly arrogant, a smile plastered on his face.
The wind had stopped.
The rain had stopped.
He felt invincible again!
"Kid..."
Lord Seven's eyes were as cold as water, carrying a deep hint of mockery. "His name is 'Sheng Ba', a master who surpasses the Grandmaster level."
"From the day I raised him..."
"He has slain eight opponents who surpassed the Grandmaster level, hence his name, Sheng Ba!"
Lord Seven glanced at Sheng Ba, as if looking at the most perfect and outstanding treasure in the world, filled with admiration and praise.
"Ten years ago."
"I was cornered on the coastline of the Eagle Nation. It was he who punched through the enemy's metal behemoth, helping me escape captivity."
"Five years ago."
"The cruise ship encountered a sea monster attack in treacherous waters. He battled for three days and three nights, slaying the creature in the depths, and I returned safely."
"It was he..."
"Who time and again, eliminated opponents and forged glory!"
Lord Seven's tone grew somewhat proud. "To repay his repeated life-saving grace, I fed him myriad rare herbs and elixirs such as the Awakening Spirit Pill, Soul-Forging Grass, and Crispy Immortal Ganoderma..."
Sheng Ba seemed to sense something and turned to grin at Lord Seven.
To outsiders...
It was chilling, making their bones freeze.
But in Lord Seven's eyes, it was as tender and affectionate as a wife!
"And you..."
Lord Seven patted Sheng Ba's lowered head, his gaze chilling, his tone cool. "You are honored to be his appetizer tonight!"
