Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 738: Thunderous means, kill them all

The "Flying Thunder Sword" landed on the deck of the cruise ship like a meteor collision, and it was as exciting and exciting as thunder.
Endless light and heat exploded, thunder and fire splashed everywhere, the deck shook, and broken steel fell all around like stray bullets. Most of the guards on the ship were killed in this attack.

The sword cut through iron like mud and almost cut the entire cruise ship in half. The keel of the cruise ship was shattered, the middle slowly rose up, and the two ends began to sink.

It is difficult to achieve such power with thunder magic alone, after all, this is an armored cruise ship. However, the Dongfeng sword can cut through iron like mud, and the thunder magic combined with the magic sword can make the cruise ship's deck as fragile as paper with just one slash.

Edward was in a luxurious box at the rear of the cruise ship, and by chance, he escaped the horrific attack.

He did not see this horrifying scene, but only felt a loud bang, like the death knell of the world's destruction.

"what happened?"

His first reaction was that the cruise ship had hit something, a reef? No, there shouldn't be any reefs in this area.

Then, there was another series of huge earthquakes from below, and the room began to tilt, with one side higher and the other lower. The sudden change made him fall to the floor.

Moreover, the vibrations below continued and became increasingly intense, with bursts of teeth-grinding sounds ringing around. The floor began to crack, revealing the steel frame.

Edward, his butler, and several guards looked toward the broken part and could see the surging sea water.

At the same time, the chain reaction of this sword caused the boiler to explode. There were many flammable and explosive materials in the cruise ship, which began to burn violently as soon as the explosion occurred.

The hot air flow rolled the flames up, like an angry fire dragon, and the hot wind cut the face like a knife. The whole cruise ship was full of red light, and the water and fire were merciless.

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

The shrill sound of alarm bells was like the wail of a dying cruise ship. The water pipes inside broke, the exquisite marble decorations fell off, and all kinds of objects slid into the sea.

To Edward, this sudden scene was just like the doomsday scene in the prophecy book he read as a child. In this scene, he and his guards were as small as grains of sand.

"What's going on? What's going on? Are there warships firing at us?" Edward shouted in horror.

"No, no, there are no warships around!" A magician guard, riding a flying broom, flew over the cruise ship that was broken into two pieces, looked around in panic, but did not find any ships.

At this moment, he noticed a dark shadow standing in the air not far away. He almost instinctively raised his magic wand, chanted a spell, and fired a fire bomb over.

Before the flame bomb flew in, he saw the black shadow suddenly move, quickly enlarged in his field of vision, and flew towards him at an unimaginable speed.

His heart skipped a beat and he almost subconsciously cast the protective spell "Expecto Patronus".

A white light formed into a huge white python, which curled up its body and surrounded him.

But then, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him. He only saw a pair of thick eyebrows suddenly pressed in front of him. The eyes under the thick eyebrows were as calm as water, but with a creepy chill.

He was about to react when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. Then, his vision was quickly pulled away by an inexplicable force.

In the sight, there was a headless corpse riding on a broom, with blood gushing out of its neck like a fountain.

The magic broom lost control, spun several times in the air, and then fell into the sea.

Zhang Zhiwei casually swung the sword, the sword drew a semicircle, and the blood spread out in a fan shape.

Then he looked at the cruise ship. Although the Flying Thunder Sword had destroyed the ship, there were still many survivors inside, especially some powerful aliens.

These aliens must be dealt with individually, otherwise they will have plenty of ways to get back to the sea area of ​​dozens of kilometers.

Zhang Zhiwei's mind moved, and black air surrounded his body. He was like a demon king wrapped in endless black energy in the myth. He drew a comet-like arc in the sky and landed on the broken deck of the cruise ship.

On the deck, flames and thick smoke continued to billow out. Zhang Zhiwei, with a faint golden light wrapped around his body, just walked in.

"kill him!"

Some of the surviving guards didn't know what had happened exactly. When they saw the stranger coming, they instinctively attacked Zhang Zhiwei.

For a moment, there were gunshots, sounds of hidden weapons breaking through the air, sounds of flames burning, and roars of thunder and lightning. All kinds of means were used against Zhang Zhiwei as if they were free.

But apart from the low humming sound of metal hammering, there was no other ripple.

"Fake, what kind of monster is this?"

"Oh my God, it seems we have offended someone we shouldn't have offended."

The remaining guards on the ship were horrified and dared not take any more action. Some of them wanted to jump into the sea to escape, some wanted to run backwards, and some wanted to surrender.

But Zhang Zhiwei did not give them this opportunity. Since he had the magic sword in his hand for the first time in a long time, he was too lazy to use other means. He just twisted the sword and swung it at the group of people.

In an instant, the sharp sword energy blew past like a strong wind, and the enemies in front of him, whether they were attacking or defending, all their methods were flattened by the dense sword energy like a strong wind sweeping fallen leaves, and their flesh and blood turned into powder.

At this moment, Zhang Zhiwei was like the god of death who reaped everything.

Zhang Zhiwei made a sword flower, and the bright red blood under his feet spread all over the place.

Edward Sassoon and his steward, who were on the other half of the boat that was split into two, looked at the scene in horror, somewhat at a loss.

The sticky blood of the ape spread on the broken and tilted deck, dripping into the sea drop by drop.

More than a dozen alien guards with strong skills, the elite among the elites, were killed by one person in an instant when they were on guard. They didn't even have the slightest chance to resist.

What kind of monster is this? Why did we get into trouble with such a monster?

Edward was shaking with fear, his legs trembling, and he could hardly speak.

He had never been so frightened as he was today. This fear was even greater than what the vampire Akado had brought him last night.

The same was true for the butler beside him, and his feelings were even more profound than Edward's.

Although Akado's murderous intent was strong and terrifying, like a terrible beast full of malice and ready to devour anyone.

The killing intent of the man in front of him was not as strong as that of Akado, but his killing intent was very pure, pure to the point of not containing the slightest malice, just like a natural disaster. Could a natural disaster have malice? No, it would only destroy everything equally. "Sir, I'm afraid we can't escape."

The butler said with a stern face, and while speaking, he pressed his chest and pressed down hard.

Facing such a strong enemy, he has to play his trump card, mobilize all his strength, and launch the strongest attack to seek a chance of survival.

Zhang Zhiwei took a step forward, and a lotus blossomed under his feet, supporting his body and lifting him into the air. He walked like this, one lotus blossomed with each step, and walked from the side that was about to sink to the other side.

As he paced over, the butler's killing move was about to be brewed, and a ball of gelatinous yellow flame emerged from his body.

As a congenital person with fire element, his abilities are naturally related to fire.

The temperature of this flame was extremely high, and the heat waves were surging, and Edward was the first to bear the brunt.

He was in pain all over from the burn and had to retreat. However, at this time, most of the ship was about to sink into the sea and he had nowhere to retreat.

The flames around the butler grew thicker and thicker, bathing him in rich flames.

The surrounding sea water was steaming under the high temperature, and white steam was everywhere. Under this scorching heat, the butler himself seemed unable to bear it.

His flesh and blood was melting, and the flames around him became even more intense, as if all of his flesh and blood had been used as fuel to start a huge flame.

The more intense the flames around him became, the less flesh and blood he had, and soon he almost became a skeleton wrapped in flames.

It's reached the limit. If it goes on like this, it will be like self-immolation... The housekeeper said secretly, and then, yellow liquid flames rose into the sky, pressing towards Zhang Zhiwei from all directions.

The raging flames were pressing down. Zhang Zhiwei tilted his head to take a look, showing no fear at all, and walked in leisurely.

The flame that the butler had risked his life to unleash was extremely powerful and had properties similar to white phosphorus. It could even burn water. Once a little bit of it came into contact with the body, it would be like a cancer attached to the bone and impossible to get rid of.

However, facing these flames that were powerful enough to melt steel, Zhang Zhiwei was not afraid at all. He walked into the center of the flames with an expressionless face.

Then, he raised one hand, opened his palm and clenched it, with his five fingers slightly bent, as if he wanted to hold the terrifying, expanding flame in his palm.

He thought so, and then he did it. The flame that was burning fiercely and expanding outwards just now suddenly calmed down.

Then, the flames that filled the sky began to shrink towards Zhang Zhiwei's palm, shrinking into a ball of light as bright as the sun, which was held in his palm.

The flame, which had almost condensed into substance, rolled and struggled in Zhang Zhiwei's palm, but could not escape, as if his palm was an insurmountable Five Finger Mountain.

The Five Finger Mountain was tightening, and the ball of light in the center of the palm was rapidly shrinking and becoming brighter. Finally, it became the size of a ping-pong ball and was pinched between Zhang Zhiwei's index finger and thumb.

The butler stared at the scene in a daze.

Zhang Zhiwei stared at the ball of light as big as a ping-pong ball for a moment, then casually threw it over to the butler, returning the favor in the same way.

The "ball of light" fell forward with a long arc of light.

The next second, the ball of light that was calm in Zhang Zhiwei's hand suddenly expanded, like a rising sun, accompanied by a loud bang, and flames spread all around.

boom! ! !
The violent explosion and high temperature formed a strong updraft that blew away the surrounding smoke.

The explosion created huge waves, and the ship, which was originally sinking at a constant speed, began to sink even faster.

Amidst the chaos, Zhang Zhiwei stood in the air, surrounded by a golden light as thin as a cicada's wing, and was completely unharmed.

The butler had turned into a skeleton burning with flames. He covered his chest with one hand and protected his back with the other hand. His whole body was emitting high temperature.

And Edward who was protected by him.
In fact, he was not protected. In the explosion just now, even though Edward had many alchemical weapons to protect his body, he was still pierced through one by one. Every inch of his skin was burned and festered, revealing the dark red fascia and bones.

His chest was still rising and falling slightly, he was not dead yet.

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at him, and Edward's bloodshot eyes also looked over at him, with pain, hesitation, and pleading in his eyes...

His lips and face had been burned by the flames, revealing his charred gums, which opened and closed. He wanted to say something, but no words came out.

Zhang Zhiwei didn't care about what he wanted to say, whether he wanted to beg for mercy or to die, so he turned around and left.

His goal of coming here has been achieved. Although the opponent does not look dead now, there are actually few good pieces of meat on his body, and even his internal organs are mostly cooked.

Even if he were to come and rescue her, it would take a lot of effort, and he would have to hurry. If he delayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to save her even with his bare hands.

Zhang Zhiwei turned into a ball of black energy and returned, and behind him, Edward slowly sank into the sea along with the cruise ship.

As he sank, his body even made a quenching sound, and along with this sound, he became completely motionless.

In fact, when he came, Wang Ai also whispered some suggestions to him, asking him if he could control Edward Sassoon like he controlled the three tycoons of Shanghai.

If he could be controlled, not only could the Sassoon family's huge wealth be seized, but Edward's power could also be used to better curb the opium business.

This proposal sounded tempting, but was rejected by Zhang Zhiwei. The Sassoon family was not small, and Edward did not have the final say. Even if he had some say, it was obviously unreliable to use him to curb the opium business.

Even the Shasun family itself cannot control this business because there are too many forces involved.

Someone once said that when you have enough wealth, you are doomed to lose control of your own affairs.

Of course, Zhang Zhiwei didn't care about the survival of the Shasun family. If he had the chance, he wouldn't mind eradicating this family. The reason why he didn't use Blue Hand to control it was because it was unnecessary.

The Sassoon family has the backing of Britain. There are many forces in Britain, the two largest of which are the Catholic Church and the School of Magic.

There were many people in the magic academy who were skilled in Legilimency and Occlumency. Using the Blue Hand on Edward Sassoon would only be letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

Moreover, the ability of Blue Hand is similar to the Imperius Curse, one of the three unforgivable curses of the magic academy. Using this curse is very likely to divert the power of the magic academy.

Not only did he let the tiger go back to the mountains, but he also attracted new enemies. Zhang Zhiwei was a person who didn't like trouble, so he chose to kill Edward directly.
