In front of the cruise ship he was on, a muscular man wearing emerald green shorts was wielding a trident, engaging in a fierce battle with a gigantic king squid, whose body stretched over a hundred meters, resembling a sea monster.

Suddenly, he furrowed his brows and shouted somewhat displeasedly at the muscular man, "Hey, hey, hey, I'm talking to you! You can continue fighting, but don't come running towards me. Go play somewhere else!" As soon as he spoke, Zhang Taibai waved his sleeve... Countless sword qi surged, creating tumultuous waves that sent both the man and the sea monster flying!
