The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2321: Chapter 2321: Is This Kid Trying to Trade a Life for a Life?

Carson Flores hid underwater, feeling quite tense.

There were too many strong adversaries on the battlefield, locked in combat. Ordinary Cultivators couldn’t even fight; the sweeping pressure and the wild, crisscrossing Domain Power were enough to annihilate them.

And it was indeed the case; the ordinary passengers on the Ocean King had already died in large numbers, while the stronger ones were fleeing everywhere. Yet their fate was hardly better, as escapees were continually cut down.

The entire sea surface had become an Asura slaughterhouse.

Carson Flores quietly hid in the sea, silently watching the spectacle. The Five Elements Escape Technique allowed him to merge wholly with the ocean. With the influence of the Stormy Sea Area, Divine Sense scanning was challenging underwater, and amidst the chaos, no one noticed Carson hiding in the depths.

Carson wanted to watch the show in peace, but trouble found its way to him.

Profound River was punched and sent flying by the mysterious black-clad man, his body plunging straight into the sea, landing not far from Carson.

The black-clad man was terrifyingly strong. Carson didn’t want to reveal himself, much less provoke him, but Profound River fell right before him. Not extending a helping hand would seem too cold-hearted.

Although Profound River wasn’t a Dragon Cloud Mountain Disciple, he was part of the Dragon Mountain Sect. They had previously shared a meal together.

Carson made the decision to rescue him in an instant.

He silently used Water Escape, appearing in a flash beside the fallen Profound River at the bottom of the sea, transmitting a voice message: ”I’m Carson Flores, don’t move.”

The Ethereal Pagoda appeared in an instant, a beam of Golden Light enveloping Profound River in the dark waters.

In the next moment, Profound River vanished from the seabed.

A moment later, Carson felt a gaze piercing through the dark waters, falling upon him.

Despite having merged entirely with the seawater, leaving no trace, he could still sense that terrifying gaze.

This guy was too powerful!

Even through such deep water, he was locked on with a glance. It seemed this Incarnation couldn’t be preserved.

Though shocked, this was within Carson’s expectations. Considering the man’s prowess, it was tough to completely cover his tracks after intervening.

Water Escape!

Carson used his Divine Skills, melding instantly into the seawater, fleeing towards the distance at once.

The black-clad man’s eyes showed a hint of coldness as he grabbed toward the sea surface with one hand.

The sea surface instantly parted like a massive canyon, a terrifying force penetrating the water, enveloping Carson.

The terrifying Spiritual Power instantly sealed off this section of the sea, turning the seawater into a closed box, trapping Carson inside.

Carson casually summoned a Flying Sword, slashing forward.

He didn’t expect his Flying Sword to break the seal; he merely used it to draw the opponent’s attention, preventing him from noticing the Ethereal Pagoda.

The Ethereal Pagoda mingled silently among the countless wreckage of the Ocean King, sinking into the sea without a ripple, as if it were just another sunken fragment.

Carson’s Flying Sword slashed out but suddenly halted, completely out of control.

Without any hesitation, Carson struck himself with a reverse palm before the terrifying force could land on him.

”Bang!”

Fierce energy surged into Carson’s undefended body, exploding him into a mass of Blood Mist, staining the surrounding seawater a dark red.

The black-clad man’s expression was initially calm, even slightly mocking, as he regarded Carson as no different from an ant. Yet Carson unexpectedly committed suicide!

The black-clad man’s eyes revealed surprise, Carson’s action entirely exceeding his expectations.

Why did this kid kill himself so decisively?

Did he not wish to be captured?

After realizing resistance was futile, did he choose to self-destruct?

Then the question remained, where was Profound River?

Profound River’s aura had suddenly disappeared at the seabed, with Carson nearby. Clearly, Profound River’s vanishing act was linked to Carson. He had intended to capture Carson to find Profound River, but now Carson was dead.

The black-clad man swept his Divine Sense across the seabed, yet found no trace of Profound River.

The black-clad man’s eyes showed anger as he pointed a finger forcefully at the spot where Profound River’s aura had disappeared.

The entire massive sea area quaked suddenly, as if a nuclear explosion had erupted underwater, with terrifying power unleashed.

Many passing Sea Demons near the area were caught in the shock, their internal organs shattered instantly, blood spurting out, life extinguished.

The black-clad man frowned, scanning the sea bottom with Divine Sense, yet still found no trace of Profound River.

Where did Profound River go?

Was he killed by this shock?

Or was he perhaps hidden inside one of Carson’s magical treasures?
