CHAPTER 1349 ESCAPING THE FLYING LEVIATHAN
"D-Did he just say Flying Leviathan…?" Huang Xiao Li had a look of disbelief as she tried to comprehend what she just heard.
Tian Yang's expression became filled with dread. A Flying Leviathan is much stronger than an ordinary Leviathan, and they are usually at the level of Divine Warriors.
"I repeat, we have encountered a Flying Leviathan. Unfortunately, I am not joking with you all. The Flying Leviathan will reach us within 5 minutes. Please use what little time we have left to say goodbye to your loved ones." The captain's voice returned, confirming what everyone wished they had misheard.
In the following moment, terrified cries and shouting filled the entire ship as everyone started breaking down from despair.
"N-No way… We've already encountered a Leviathan that only appears once every few decades… Why must the heavens be this cruel?"
While an ordinary Leviathan appears once every few decades, a Flying Leviathan hasn't been seen for over a thousand years. Despite the odds, Tian Yang's ship has managed to encounter both of them on the same journey.
Amid such abysmal luck, one might consider it a miracle, if the term could be applied in such dire circumstances.
And unlike an ordinary Leviathan, there was simply no hope of defeating a Flying Leviathan unless there happened to be a Divine Realm expert on the ship, which was less likely than the appearance of the Flying Leviathan, as they had the capability to reach the Desolate Continent by themselves.
The last time a ship encountered a Flying Leviathan, the passengers had simply relinquished all hope, agonizingly anticipating their inevitable demise.
"So, this is how I die, huh..." Huang Xiao Li uttered in a dazed voice, her gaze fixed blankly on the ground.
"Xiao Li…" Tian Yang wanted to comfort her, but unless he could defeat the Flying Leviathan, there was simply nothing he could do or say that would help in this situation.
Hearing Tian Yang's voice, Huang Xiao Li suddenly lifted her head and looked at him with a weird expression on her face.
"Hey… Tian Yang… make love to me…" she muttered in a low voice.
"W-What the hell are you saying in such a situation?!" Tian Yang was bewildered by her words.
"It's because we are in this situation that I am saying this!!!" she screamed, tears flowing down her face. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"We have less than five minutes before we die… If we cannot prevent our death, we can, at the very least, ensure that our final moments are filled with pleasure…" Huang Xiao Li said.
"Please… Tian Yang… I don't want to die alone…" she cried and cried.
Given the ship's size, it would take Huang Xiao Li longer than five minutes to reach her family. Moreover, with the hallways teeming with people attempting to escape, it was practically impossible for her to navigate through. Consequently, she found herself constrained to spending her final moments with Tian Yang, who happened to be with her.
"Pap!"
Tian Yang suddenly slapped Huang Xiao Li on the face, snapping her awake with pain.
"Wake up, Xiao Li! Who said we're going to die?! I have encountered countless situations where everything seemed hopeless, but I am still here! I will find a way out of this! I promise!"
"Tian Yang…"
Using his sleeves, Tian Yang wiped her tears and continued in a soothing voice, "Let's meet up with your family first, okay?"
"B-But the hallways are…"
Without explaining further, Tian Yang wrapped his arm around Huang Xiao Li's waist before pointing his palm at the ceiling and blasting it with his spiritual energy.
Due to how weak the wooden walls were, Tian Yang effortlessly blew a hole in the ceiling.
"Let's go!"
He jumped to the next floor while carrying Huang Xiao Li. Then, he repeated his actions. In less than a minute, they'd managed to reach the seventh floor.
From there, Tian Yang used his superior cultivation to push everyone in the hallway out of his path until they arrived at the Huang Family's room.
When they arrived, all of the guards the Huang Family hired were nowhere to be seen. Obviously, they had abandoned the Huang Family to escape by themselves.
However, neither Tian Yang nor Huang Xiao Li paid any attention to them at this moment and only cared about returning to the Huang Family.
Tian Yang then said, "We can save the tears for later! We need to get out of here as soon as possible!"
"How do we even escape?!" Huang Chen exclaimed.
"Father! Mother! It's me!"
Huang Xiao Li pounded on the door, silently praying that her family was still in their rooms. The door swung open the next moment, revealing a tearful Huang Chen.
"Xiao Li!" Huang Xiao Li's mother rushed to embrace her.
Tian Yang then said, "We can save the tears for later! We need to get out of here as soon as possible!"
"How do we even escape?!" Huang Chen exclaimed.
"Do you have any flying treasures on you?" Tian Yang asked.
"I-I do, but I only have one! Moreover, we're still two weeks away from the Desolate Continent! The flying treasure won't last that long, especially since it has to carry this many people!"
"That doesn't matter! We will fly as far as we can, and we don't need to reach the Desolate Continent either! As long as we're away from this ship and the Flying Leviathan, it'll be good enough!" Tian Yang said.
Since it was better than sitting still and waiting for their death, Huang Chen agreed to follow Tian Yang's plan.
Tian Yang proceeded to blow another hole in the wall, giving them access to the open sea.
Huang Chen then retrieved his flying treasure, summoning a wooden boat that barely had enough room for four people.
"Quickly, get on!" Huang Chen urged them.
When the other guests saw that they had a flying treasure, they immediately rushed inside the room and begged for the Huang Family to take them along.
"Please take me with you! I have a family waiting for me back at home!" A middle-aged man pleaded.
"No! Take me instead! I will give you all of my wealth!"
"No, take me!"
"Take me!"
The only thing preventing these people from jumping on the flying treasure was Tian Yang, who was using his body to keep them at bay.
