Lin Xuan's sudden appearance caught many people off guard, but Deng Sen was the most shocked of all. 'My own strike was caught by a teenager? That's impossible!'
'My full-force strike didn't even hurt him—he caught it easily. But on closer inspection... it doesn't look like he's holding it. Is it just hovering in the air?'
But it no longer mattered. Lin Xuan snatched the blade, tossed it aside, and watched as it floated on the sea's surface instead of sinking. With a simultaneous palm strike, he sent Deng Sen flying. SPLASH! He landed in the sea.
The palm strike hadn't been a heavy one; it had only been meant to send him flying. The moment he hit the water, Deng Sen began to struggle, swimming away as fast as he could.
"Who the hell are you, kid? Showing up here out of nowhere, you looking to die?!" one of the Pirates roared. Without another word, he grabbed his cutlass, leaped toward Lin Xuan's boat, and swung down viciously.
