Brinina looked at the man standing in front of her with a pale face, he looked down at her, the curve of his mouth was playful and cruel.
He knew!
Brinina was terrified. She had already succumbed to Bai Cangshu's martial prowess. Even though Headquarter Vice Admirals and even Vice Admiral Karp were nearby, she could call for help at any time, but she did not.
She even planned to cultivate this young and powerful Marine after returning to the G51 Branch and send him to the Headquarter for further training, while she herself would retire to a civilian position.
But now, the look in his eyes clearly told her that he was well aware of her actions, and even seemed to know a lot about the whereabouts of Keli and Lushido's group.
Combining the news she had just heard from the Headquarter warship, this Marine had displayed great power, ending the "Evil God" of Skuld Island. This Marine, who called himself Tao Bai Bai, had already risen in fame at the Headquarter.
Although his methods were very cruel and not favored by Vice Admiral Karp and Vice Admiral Chaton, on the contrary, Doberman, Vice Admiral Onigumo, and the missing Vice Admiral Dalmatian all thought highly of him, seeing his immense potential.
Would such a potential new star, knowing her dark and corrupt past, let her go?
Brinina's face was pale, allowing Bai Cangshu to approach her. The Headquarter Marines had all returned to Mogu Town to rest, and the local bandits, gangs, and even Sea Thieves were hiding like quail.
The Sea Thieves who had followed the Golden Emperor to that sea area earlier said that the Golden Emperor, along with his ship, had been directly blasted away and his whereabouts were currently unknown.
Bai Cangshu reached out and pinched Brinina's snow-white chin. This once proud Marine Branch Captain now exuded an aura of "weakness," just like a small white mouse.
Brinina took two steps back, being directly forced to the edge of the deck.
"Captain Brinina, tell me, how should I deal with you?"
Brinina's pupils trembled. She could still clearly see that there was no lust in this guy's pupils, only that brutal look as if he was about to devour someone at any moment. No matter how well hidden, this guy's essence was a fierce beast.
Moreover, it seemed that after returning from that island, he became even more irritable and unstable.
She was so stimulated by that Killing Intent Ripple that she dared not move at all.
Bai Cangshu seemed troubled, but merely by pinching a living body, a desire to tear it apart involuntarily arose in his heart.
The Killing Intent Ripple began to surge little by little.
Bai Cangshu released his hand. He was thinking, tapping his temple with his fingertips.
Tap, tap.
"That Keli guy is weak, but he's a good guy."
Bai Cangshu rarely gave a positive evaluation to a weak person. He knew very well that the weak Marine Keli had indirectly given him a lot of help in this world.
"I think I have many opportunities to kill you without anyone knowing. Perhaps when Vice Admiral Onigumo hears your story, he will only think that your weakness and uselessness are no longer valuable, and let me eliminate you…"
As Bai Cangshu spoke, the dark purple Killing Intent Ripple on his body became more obvious. He didn't have a strong desire to kill the other party initially, but that tiny thought was ignited by the Killing Intent Ripple, rapidly sweeping through his heart.
Hum~
A violent surge of Qi continuously rotated. Bai Cangshu's eyelids drooped, his arm bent, and with just one finger extended, a golden Dong Dong Wave had already condensed.
His finger stopped less than ten centimeters in front of Brinina's chest. The Woman's exposed bosom felt the heat, and the shadow of death stiffened her whole body.
She had thought that being near that huge whirlpool, she was ready to accept death, but when death truly approached, she was inexplicably terrified, especially by the coldness and cruelty in his eyes.
It seemed that she was truly worthless. Neither the power of a Marine Branch Captain, nor her martial prowess, nor even the beauty of her body, meant anything to him.
He only enjoyed the pleasure of killing her.
This Die Yi Sen Luo, with no room for struggle, made Brinina feel as if she was being frozen.
Thump.
Brinina's knees suddenly buckled, and she fell to the ground.
"Spare… spare me…"
"I… I have value."
Brinina was in tears, her beautiful face distorted by fear, her fair skin wet with tears and snot.
The Qi on Bai Cangshu's finger stopped rotating, and his heartbeat gradually slowed.
He was naturally not moved by Brinina's plea for mercy; he simply did not want to be dominated by the Killing Intent Ripple. Bai Cangshu liked killing and did not mind killing, but he did not want to be dominated.
Moreover, he still coveted the monsters captured by Karp.
"Oh?"
"Captain, tell me, what value do you have?"
Brinina's mind raced. She kept thinking about what this beast would be interested in.
Power? That was obvious, but how could a mere Branch Captain like herself give him such powerful strength? If she had it, she would have used it long ago. No, wait, she suddenly remembered his act of jumping into the terrifying whirlpool to search for treasure.
"Treasure!"
"Tao Bai Bai, have you heard the legend of the [Seven Star Sword]?"
She blinked twice, her face flushing with an unusual redness from the sudden hope of survival that appeared in her heart.
Seven Star Sword…
Bai Cangshu naturally knew this story; it was one of the many derivative stories of the Sea Thief King. Legend had it that a [Seven Star Sword] once appeared in a certain kingdom. It was a demonic sword that could corrupt people's hearts and possessed peculiar powers.
"Some vague legends can't buy your life."
Bai Cangshu once again pinched the Woman's throat, and the Killing Intent Ripple surged again. Bai Cangshu carefully "provoked" this power, wanting to completely tame it. Besides stacking his own attributes high enough, or being strong enough to have the power to be immune to the erosion of the Killing Intent Ripple.
Bai Cangshu could only adapt.
As long as he could adapt to the intensity of the Killing Intent Ripple and release that insane Killing Intent at the right time, the Killing Intent Ripple would also be a helper.
Although Bai Cangshu's Strength and Agility had not yet broken through their extreme values, because he had already triggered the complete four-attribute [Extraordinary Trial], he had basically confirmed that he could obtain the cultivation conditions for [Instant Prison Kill].
Coupled with the Killing Intent Ripple, Bai Cangshu would be able to reproduce the complete version of [One Instant Thousand Strikes], along with [Uncertainty of Luck] and [Die Yi Sen Luo].
Bai Cangshu's powerful combo would also take shape.
Brinina's newly risen relief was instantly shattered. Her scalp felt like it was about to explode, and the immense pressure on her throat made her feel suffocated. The Marines in the distance seemed not to notice anything here; a Branch Marine was about to murder an officer.
"I… I can do anything… just tell me…"
Bang.
Brinina was thrown to the ground, and the purple glow in Bai Cangshu's eyes quickly dissipated. He turned around, looked at the sea, suppressed the surging Killing Intent, and then spoke lightly.

"After the Vice Admirals resting in Mogu Town are ready, I want you to find a way to release the two monsters captured by Vice Admiral Karp."
Brinina's pupils constricted…
Vice Admiral Karp was temporarily transferred, and those two monsters would most likely be escorted by Vice Admiral Chaton and the Headquarter and Branch Marines together. But even without Vice Admiral Karp, how could she, a Branch Captain, do such a thing…
Brinina watched Tao Bai Bai turn and walk towards the cabin. He gave her no room for negotiation.
—
The girl Cindy was brought to the town by Olgins and others. Vice Admiral Karp's adjutant believed that everyone who left the Skuld Island sea area needed to undergo a thorough inspection.
That abnormal infection and those monsters were very dangerous.
Only Bellamy, who was confirmed to be infected, was still imprisoned in the cabin, even wearing Sea Stone shackles, lying weakly in the cell at the bottom of the cabin.
He was eroded by Roland's ability, his body became active, but abnormal growths appeared on his throat and body surface.
For ordinary humans, he would have died long ago, but based on the unique strong vitality of characters in this world, he was still breathing.
"Yo, Bellamy, still alive?"
Bai Cangshu stood on the tips of his toes, squatting on the ground. His entire weight was supported by two points, but his body remained very balanced. After gaining many abilities, Bai Cangshu still paid great attention to the cultivation of [Martial Arts Specialization].
In his opinion, as his attributes improved, this most basic specialized ability would provide him with even greater improvement.
It was a joke for a superhuman to learn martial arts, but when a group of superhumans appeared, the superhuman who could use his abilities more efficiently would inevitably be stronger than other superhumans.
Bellamy saw the newcomer and was too weak to make any expression.
Bai Cangshu flicked his finger.
Bang!
A burst of force instantly destroyed the lock of the cell door. He walked in brazenly, picked up Bellamy by the back of his neck, lifted him, and turned to walk out of the cabin.
"Hey, Tao Bai Bai… Marine, where are you taking this guy?!"
The two Marine soldiers responsible for guarding the cell saw this scene and immediately asked. They found that they still didn't know the rank of this already famous Branch Marine, so they could only call him Marine.
Bai Cangshu smiled as usual.
"I received an order from Captain Brinina to take this guy to Mogu Town for an inspection."
Bai Cangshu found another benefit of smiling: he didn't have to think about what expression to make when lying.
The two Marines made way upon hearing this, and kindly reminded him,
"Be careful, Tao Bai Bai, we don't know if that guy's infection is contagious."
"That's right, Tao Bai Bai, for such a small matter, why don't you just find someone to help you?"
Bai Cangshu's prestige among the Marines was already quite high, especially among the hawkish Marines who admired martial prowess. In a sense, they would only see Bai Cangshu's brutality as a form of strength.
Bai Cangshu nodded cheerfully, carried Bellamy back to the deck, and then, with a few leaps, landed in Mogu Town.
Bellamy was just a small figure. Neither Karp nor Onigumo and other Headquarter Vice Admirals would pay too much attention to a Sea Thief with a bounty of 55 million. Brinina was the one who would take over him.
Bai Cangshu brought Bellamy back to Mogu Town and immediately received a Space prompt.
[Bellamy successfully survived and arrived at Mogu Town]
[You have completed the hidden side quest · The Legend of the Emerald City]
Bellamy weakly pointed to an inconspicuous small wooden house in the harbor and said,
"That sea chart, I hid it in that house."
Bai Cangshu searched briefly and indeed found a yellowed sea chart.
