"Swish!"
In the blink of an eye, Bai Zihe continuously fled into the distance.
He had to run.
Run as far as possible, away from Zhuge Sheng and the others.
Otherwise...
For Zhuge Sheng and them, it would surely be a disaster, a disaster that would... cost everyone their lives!
"Whoosh..."
Bai Zihe ran ahead, and the ultimate heat weapon pursued from behind.
Bai Zihe was already giving his all.
The fuel loaded in the ultimate heat weapon was also burning fiercely.
"Swish..."
Finally, Bai Zihe's speed was still no match for the ultimate heat weapon. Seeing that the ultimate heat weapon was only a hundred meters away from him.
Bai Zihe's mind raced, and he drilled into the Haotian Tower.
In situ.
A small and exquisite pagoda floated on the seawater.
"Rumble..."
The next moment, the ultimate heat weapon exploded as expected.
Instantly.
The extreme brilliance illuminated the area, making it bright.
Even...
The ancient darkness at the bottom of the ocean faded in the face of this light, tinged with streaks of radiance.
Following this.
A massive shockwave instantly spread in all directions.
The first to bear the brunt was the endless seawater.
After the deafening roar, the seawater at the center of the explosion was instantly vaporized into a vacuum, not a trace or a drop left!
Then.
Waves as high as a thousand zhang surged towards the sky, with the power to obscure the heavens and the sun.
They covered the sky, covered the endless firmament, covered everything in the world, all obscured, all hidden.
"Splash..."
At the same time.
Giant waves rose from the ground and surged in all directions.
One ultimate heat weapon...
Was enough to stir up a fierce tsunami in the ocean!
Waves of a thousand zhang, a hundred miles of turbulent sea.
Everything formed in an instant and spread with extreme speed, ravaging and assimilating.
Inside the Haotian Tower.
"Did it explode?"
"It must have exploded, right?"
Bai Zihe felt no abnormality.
No sound.
No commotion.
No anomaly.
In short, it was calm.
Everything within the Haotian Tower was in stark contrast to the turmoil outside.
"This..."
As time passed slowly, Bai Zihe never felt a tremor and couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise.
According to his guess.
Even if the Haotian Tower could withstand the explosion of the ultimate heat weapon, it would probably cause violent tremors, and it would take some effort to deal with it.
But now...
It was too peaceful, so peaceful that Bai Zihe dared not believe it.
"Little Tower..."
So, he asked the tower spirit, "Can you sense the commotion outside?"
The tower spirit said indifferently, "You mean that thing that flew over?"
As expected!
The tower spirit could sense the outside.
"Yes!"
Bai Zihe nodded and asked, "Did that thing explode?"
"It exploded."
The tower spirit said dismissively, "Bai Zihe, you don't think this thing exploding can affect the Haotian Tower, do you?"
"Haotian Tower..."
"How can it be destroyed by this thing?"
His tone was filled with utter disdain.
After speaking.
The tower spirit also gave Bai Zihe a speechless glance.
Bai Zihe was immediately ashamed.
It seemed...
He still underestimated these ancient divine artifacts.
That's right.
How could a divine artifact on par with the Pangu Axe that created the heavens and the earth be harmed by a mere ultimate heat weapon?
"Then..."
Bai Zihe felt much relieved, but he was still worried about Zhuge Sheng and the others, so he continued to ask, "Is the commotion outside still big?"
"Not big."
The tower spirit still had the same tranquil expression, "Just some small winds and waves, nothing much."
Bai Zihe didn't know how to answer.
What he called small winds and waves...
Was probably enough to cause a tsunami, yet he called it not big?
"Cough cough..."
Bai Zihe coughed lightly, touched his nose, and said, "I mean, relative to my current strength..."
"I have a few friends outside, and I want to go find them."
"Oh, it's not big either."
The tower spirit said casually, "You're talking about those people who jumped into the sea earlier, right? They've been scattered by the waves, very far away."
Bai Zihe was startled.
Very far away...
The "very far away" mentioned by the tower spirit must be truly far.
However, one piece of news was that the tower spirit didn't say anyone among them had died, which made Bai Zihe feel much more at ease.
Thus.
Bai Zihe came out of the Haotian Tower.
"Splash..."
As soon as he came out, a huge wave crashed over him.
This wave...
Was a hundred meters high!
Even the previous giant ship would probably be capsized with ease.
Of course, this level was nothing to Bai Zihe; he withstood it easily without dodging.
However...
How would he find them in this vast ocean?
He sensed it.
After a moment, a smile appeared on his face.
There was movement!
"Swish!"
"Swish swish swish..."
Without hesitation, Bai Zihe immediately flew towards that direction.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
High above the clouds, Qi Tianhe looked at Bai Zihe below, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
"This kid..."
"Not only did he get the Xuanyuan Sword, but he also got the Haotian Tower..."
"He's truly lucky!"
"If given time..."
"Perhaps he could truly achieve something, but that's assuming he can first escape the pursuit of the Tianshan Sword Sect!"
The bounty from the Tianshan Sword Sect was known throughout the cultivation world.
Before this, he didn't know that the owner of the Xuanyuan Sword was Bai Zihe. After all, everyone thought that whoever could kill Qin Changsheng must be a powerful cultivator in the Mahayana stage.
But as the investigation deepened.
Finally, the Tianshan Sword Sect concluded that Qin Changsheng was likely killed by an existence within Dragon Island.
And the one who went to Dragon Island...
Included Bai Zihe!
Now.
Although Bai Zihe survived the bombardment of the ultimate heat weapon.
However.
After landing, all sorts of dangers awaited him.
"Let's watch the show..."
Qi Tianhe took a sip of wine from the gourd at his waist, then lay back on his large gourd, leisurely and content.
Whether Bai Zihe lived or died...
Had little to do with him.
After all, the Palace Master had said that if Bai Zihe proved useless, they would take back the Xuanyuan Sword.
He even wished Bai Zihe would die sooner.
This was also one of the main reasons why he wasn't eager to intervene when the ultimate heat weapon was falling just now!
"Splash..."
"Swish swish..."
The waves continued, and Bai Zihe kept moving forward.
These waves...
Had a negligible impact on him.
"Marshal Montado, how are you feeling?"
After a period of trekking, Bai Zihe finally saw the first person and couldn't help but shout, "Marshal Montado, how are you feeling?"
"Little Friend Bai!"
"Lord Bai!"
Montado and the crew member he brought couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "We thought you had already..."
Not just him.
At that time, everyone was diving into the depths of the sea.
But Bai Zihe suddenly detached himself from them and sped away into the distance.
At first, they didn't understand.
But later, when they saw the ultimate heat weapon tracking him, they couldn't help but change their expressions.
Their hearts were filled with both gratitude and surprise.
They all thought...
Bai Zihe was doomed.
And now that they saw Bai Zihe return, they were naturally happy.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Bai Zihe led them to search for the remaining people.
About an hour later, everyone had regrouped.
Except for a few crew members who were injured by the shockwave of the ultimate heat weapon's explosion, everyone else was not seriously harmed.
It was a blessing in disguise.
"Hmm?"
Just then, Bai Zihe's brows furrowed slightly.
