Under the bridge, the sea water churned and boiled, bubbling incessantly.

Splash—

Suddenly, a massive Water Elemental Giant emerged, formed from an enormous mass of sea water.

His body was composed of sea water,

with a waist like a water tornado standing on the sea surface, his upper body was exceptionally burly and strong. A helmet made of blue-brown salt crystals sat atop his head, while his shoulders and arms were encased in rings of dark gold alloy armor, and he wielded a sharp trident akin to a siege hammer.

"Stop! Down!"

The Water Elemental Giant looked down condescendingly at Li Ang, who seemed as insignificant as dust, and spoke slowly,

his speech was slow, but his voice was incredibly loud,

the sea wind emitted shook and rattled the cables on the cross-sea bridge.

A hidden combat force of the Special Affairs Bureau.

Li Ang wasn't too surprised; considering the vast resources controlled by the Special Affairs Bureau, it would be strange if they didn't have some trump cards.

"Stop here!"

The Water Elemental Giant, seeing the ant-like figure below showing no sign of slowing down, moved forward with his water-tornado waist, tearing two V-shaped white waves across the sea surface,

the trident in his hand shimmering with water light, salty sea wind swirling around, stabbing down towards the bridge deck.

Step!

The Fearful Warhorse leaped gracefully, trampling over cars and trucks, surrounded by a faint golden glow.

[Tyrant Halberd: Thousand Armies Slash]

The Broken Long Spear emitted a swirling golden light,

the Fearful Warhorse did not fall, suspending in midair, instead gaining speed, and charged directly into the resilient arm of the Water Elemental Giant.

Swhish—

The Long Spear, infused with Divine Power, slashed vertically down, the Water Elemental Giant's arm severing like gel, leaving a crack.

Li Ang passed through the crack, catching a clear glimpse from the corner of his eye of the bubbles and seaweed within the Water Elemental Giant's arm.

Thud!

The Fearful Warhorse landed heavily, while behind it, the Water Elemental Giant's arm had already healed, roaring as he turned to swing his trident sideways.

The cars on the bridge were sliced and pushed aside like children's toys by the giant trident,

the cables supporting the bridge snapped one by one, lashing the air with loud cracks.

Too slow.

Li Ang didn't look back. The Tyrant Halberd struck the ground, Swamp God Power spread out, causing a large number of vine plants to surge, breaking through the reinforced concrete blocks, growing wildly.

The vines rapidly grew, hooking onto the suspended bridge cables, climbing upwards, forming a large green net.

The Water Elemental Giant's trident cleaved into the net, the blade shimmering with water light, wantonly cutting through the vine fibers,

yet the growth speed of the vine plants was even faster, spreading along the trident, piercing into the Water Elemental Giant's arm like dense snakes.

Gurgle, gurgle.

The hollow vine plants turned into water pumps, efficiently extracting seawater, releasing a large amount of viscous poison.

Within the Water Elemental Giant's arm, the purple liquid spread upwards at a visible speed,

wherever it reached, steam billowed forth, making it difficult to maintain a fixed shape, disintegrating into seawater, splashing down, corroding and melting the cars below.

The Water Elemental Giant roared in pain, grasping his right shoulder with his left hand, exerting force to sever it, finally stopping the spread of the vine plants' erosion,

however, by this time, it was enough for Li Ang to drive off the cross-sea bridge, disappearing into the Steel Jungle.

"Ahhh!!"

The Water Elemental Giant roared furiously, his water-tornado waist sucking in a massive amount of seawater, restoring his right arm as he smashed the trident onto the sea surface, raising a towering wave, but it was still futile.

Ahead was a bustling urban area filled with skyscrapers, his power system being unique and not suited for use there.

"Huff..."

The Water Elemental Giant breathed heavily, his chest heaving violently,

he steadied his breath for a moment, suddenly sensing something, quickly turning his gaze.

When he looked back, several dozen figures had appeared in the air at some point, standing in the air,

from their clothing, it was clear these people were not agents of the Special Affairs Bureau,

but representatives from other powers stationed in the city.

European Heavy Industry Group, Federal Bureau of Investigation's Supernatural Accident Place, Global Occult Coalition, Prometheus Laboratory Company, Gru Super Psychology Department...

"What are you doing here?"

The Water Elemental Giant wielded his trident, his expression gloomy and low, growling, "Leave!"

"Don't be so hasty, Comrade Xiao Hou."

The representative from the European Heavy Industry Group, a white middle-aged man in a white suit who looked like a business elite, smiled and rubbed his palms together, speaking in perfectly articulated Chinese: "After all, we are companions of the Order Faction, it's only right to solve problems together when encountering difficulties.

Do you need help?"

"No need."

The Water Elemental Giant, called Xiao Hou, tightened his grip on his trident, coldly stating: "Jumping out at this time, do you want to be liquidated afterwards,

collectively expelled and kicked out of Yin City?"

"Whether we get kicked out of Yin City, that's not something you or I can decide."

The European Heavy Industry Group representative continued to smile, "Besides, we didn't do anything,

the front is the area divided by the Special Affairs Bureau for other forces to operate, we weren't wandering randomly, causing disturbances,

we're just afraid our offices might be hit by the aftermath of the ongoing conflict,

just taking precautionary measures.

Protecting our personal property shouldn't be taboo, right?"

"Hmph!"

The Water Elemental Giant snorted coldly, he knew well the calculations of these external forces' representatives, they were just gloating, enjoying the spectacle,

and checking if they could take advantage of the chaos to gain benefits from the Special Affairs Bureau, or make the bureau suffer a secret loss.

Unfortunately, the chaotic times are coming, and it's far from the time to turn against these people...

"Ah, seems our friend is nearing his destination, we'll chat later."

The European Heavy Industry Group representative gazed into the distance, smiling at the Water Elemental Giant as he walked away into the sky, disappearing above the bridge.

Others also used various methods to follow suit.

"..."

The Water Elemental Giant, standing tall on the sea surface, watched as these people disappeared from sight with a gloomy expression, lowering the arm holding the trident, his figure gradually shrinking, sinking back into the sea below.

————

Li Ang rode his horse at full speed through the Steel Jungle made up of skyscrapers, the bustling street scenes rapidly retreating in his vision.

In the silent city, sunlight poured down, the wind wailing,

while advertising videos continued to play noisily on the large screens at the base of the high-rise buildings, imbuing a festive atmosphere.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Li Ang gently pressed the horse's back, causing the Fearful Warhorse to rear its front hooves, halting its charging momentum, neighing skyward.

Clip-clop.

The horse hooves landed, Li Ang patted the Fearful Warhorse, which was breathing like a dragon, releasing the summoning spell that was about to reach its time limit, lightly jumping to the ground himself.

His expression remained calm as he stepped forward, heading toward the Mobile Detachment phalanx ahead.

"Long time no see."

At the intersection, Xing Hechou stood at the forefront of the Mobile Detachment members, his expression complex as he slowly said: "Brother Li."
