Chapter 1380 Childbirth
Throwing packages is a method that’s too easily intercepted, especially when people are already on guard by the riverside.
So the two exposed Ancient God Church members, deciding to go all in, simply hugged their handbags and leaped down!
Bang bang—!!
Two enormous sea beasts suddenly jumped out of the churning river water, fiercely opening their terrifying jaws, precisely catching the jumping Ancient God Church members in their mouths.
How could these poor Ancient God Church members have imagined that sea beasts would emerge from the seemingly normal river?!
However, these divine representatives weren’t pushovers. Although the sea beasts were of considerable rank, the members weren’t completely defenseless.
The “Boundless” realm spiritual power exploded, several divine ruins flashed, and the sea beasts’ massive mouths were forcibly torn open, creating bloody gashes from which the members emerged…
But the handbags containing glass tubes had already been chewed to pieces, and the liquid inside had completely disappeared down the sea beasts’ throats.
Cao Yuan and Baili Pangpang’s figures flew across the river surface, each charging toward one of the Ancient God Church members!
“Three left…” Lin Qiye muttered.
With two more Ancient God Church members exposed, the hidden threat was further weakened. What truly troubled Lin Qiye and his team wasn’t the strength of these church members. To be honest, any current member of the [Nightfall] team could easily defeat 95% of the Ancient God Church members.
The enemies lurking in the shadows, who might strike at any moment using unknown methods, were what Lin Qiye’s team truly needed to guard against.
As the direct confrontation between the Ancient God Church and the [Nightfall] team began, the river water below became increasingly turbulent. Whirlpools emerged on the surface, and huge waves continuously crashed against both shores, producing thunderous, deep rumbles.
At this moment, except for the boat carrying Lin Qiye’s team, all other vessels had already left. Their boat was caught at the edge of a flowing whirlpool, violently rocking and shaking.
An Qingyu looked down at the river surface, where faint roaring sounds emanated from the riverbed.
“The birth has begun,” Lin Qiye said solemnly.
…
At the bottom of the Huangpu River.
Tang Mingxuan held his crescent blade spear, his Zhongshan suit billowing with the currents. He stared anxiously at the Baize curled up in pain before him, his eyes filled with concern.
“Baize, don’t panic, take it slowly… deep breaths!”
Tang Mingxuan, being a man, knew little about childbirth, let alone for a mythical beast like Baize that only existed in legends… For the moment, besides these few words, he didn’t know how else to comfort Baize.
A faint light emerged from the golden patterns on Baize’s skin surface, continuously gathering toward its abdomen. Its head, topped with a pair of white horns, shook slightly, churning the surrounding water flow into chaos.
But whenever these water currents were about to surge to the surface, they would be dispersed by another stable current. Powerful spiritual energy poured out from Tang Mingxuan’s body, his eyes turning deep blue:
“Deep breaths, Baize! Don’t let external factors disturb you…”
“Roar—!”
Low growls emerged from Baize’s throat. Beneath its body, a ball of light shrouded in golden radiance slowly moved outward…
…
“Now!”
A voice shouted from the riverbank, and three figures like lightning quickly flipped over the railing, simultaneously rushing toward the churning river surface!
An Qingyu coldly snorted, his eyes tinged with a deep gray. He stomped his right foot forcefully on the deck!
Boom—!
Pale frost instantly froze the entire ship, along with the river surface below turning to ice. The rolling waves were fixed in midair. The three Ancient God Church members who had jumped down landed on the ice surface, their expressions extremely unpleasant.
After the previous wave of comrades was intercepted by sea beasts, these three church members had learned their lesson. They protected the glass tubes in their arms to prevent them from being frozen by the frost. They forcefully stomped on the ice beneath their feet, creating dense cracks that spread across the surface.
An Qingyu had only frozen a layer of ice over two meters thick on the river’s surface. Below the ice, the water was still surging violently. Now, under the actions of the three church members, the ice surface was rapidly breaking apart and would soon collapse!
“Universal Disarmament.”
Baili Pangpang stood on the shore, a massive black and white Taiji diagram rotating beneath his feet, his clothes fluttering.
He reached out and made a grabbing motion in the air. The outer garments of two Ancient God Church members, along with the glass tubes they were protecting, simultaneously flew into the air. Seeing this, the last church member’s eyes flashed with determination. He also made a grabbing motion, and the three glass tubes flying toward Baili Pangpang froze in midair.
The three glass tubes trembled continuously in the air, as if two invisible hands were constantly wrestling in midair!
Baili Pangpang let out a slight exclamation, his expression somewhat surprised.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!
Three black surgical knives precisely pierced the glass tubes. The light red liquid poured down from midair, freezing into numerous ice shards before even touching the river surface.
An Qingyu, carrying a black coffin on his back, waved his hand. The blood-colored ice shards floating on the river surface flew before him, compressed into a fist-sized red snowball, and landed steadily in his pale palm.
An Qingyu brought the snowball to his mouth and expressionlessly took a bite. The blood-colored ice shards were forcibly crushed between his teeth and swallowed.
This scene directly stunned the three Ancient God Church members.
The tools to contaminate Baize were gone… and gone very thoroughly.
“Qingyu…” Lin Qiye stood in place, dumbfounded, seemingly wanting to say something.
“It’s fine. These liquids are toxic to Baize during birth, but they can’t cause any significant harm to my body,” An Qingyu said calmly after finishing the entire snowball. “At worst, I’ll just cut open my stomach to remove it later.”
Lin Qiye: …
A ghostly white shadow flashed across the ice-covered river surface, crashing into one of the Ancient God Church members. The latter suddenly drew a short knife from his waist and slashed at his companion.
Lin Qiye and An Qingyu approached from the left and right, flying over to surround the last three Ancient God Church members on the river surface. These three weren’t of high rank and had almost no ability to fight back against Lin and An.
While beating up the Ancient God Church members, Lin Qiye inwardly sighed with relief… If that string of phone calls was the method used by church members to report their positions, then all eight Ancient God Church members in Huaihai City had been exposed, and all the liquid that could affect Baize had been destroyed.
With Tang Mingxuan stationed at the river bottom, Baize’s birth should proceed without incident.
However, Lin Qiye couldn’t help feeling that everything seemed too easy. After all, according to Li Qiangqiang, they had paid a price to prevent this disaster back then… Of course, it could also be because the average strength of the [Nightfall] team now was higher than that of the [Black Dragon] team back then.
Regardless, Baize’s birth was not yet complete, so caution was still paramount.
While Lin Qiye was distracted, vigilantly scanning the surroundings, a figure wearing a brown Zhongshan suit had already silently approached the bank of the Huangpu River…
