As Ye Feng and the other person were fighting the merfolk, a figure exuding a powerful aura suddenly charged in.
As soon as the figure entered, he saw Ye Feng and the other person fighting the merfolk. Without a word, he swiftly threw a punch at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was startled and quickly moved to block.
*Bang!*
With a loud noise, Ye Feng was sent flying back by the punch, crashing into the bulkhead of the ship.
The bulkhead of the ship instantly developed a large hole, which was terrifying.
"Who is it? How can they have such strength!" Ye Feng stood up, his face filled with shock.
He saw a familiar figure before his eyes.
"Boss Huang?" Ye Feng stared at him, his voice filled with surprise.
This figure was none other than the owner of the ship, Boss Huang.
Boss Huang looked at Ye Feng and the other person indifferently and said, "So, the two people from that night were you two!"
After speaking, he twisted his neck, producing a series of cracking sounds.
Then, his body began to change. His entire body turned yellow, and soon, yellow scales appeared all over him.
At this moment, Ye Feng finally understood why this guy was called Boss Huang, because in a short while, he had transformed into a yellow merman.
Not only were his claws sharp, but bone blades had also grown on his arms. He was clearly more advanced and more dangerous than those dark gray merfolk.
As he finished transforming, a powerful and terrifying aura emanated from him.
Ye Feng felt as if the person standing before them was not a human, but a ferocious beast.
"This guy's strength is terrifying, probably late Innate, or even peak Innate!" Ye Feng thought to himself.
Aixi, standing beside him, also had a grim expression. She already found those few merfolk difficult to deal with.
Now that a more advanced and powerful yellow merman had appeared, she felt even more despair.
"Ye Feng, w-what should we do?" Aixi asked, her face full of worry.
Ye Feng was speechless and replied, "Sister, we'll just have to wing it!"
"Wing... Huh? You scoundrel, how can you joke at a time like this?" Aixi cursed after realizing what he said.
However, while they were talking, Boss Huang said to the merfolk, "You guys deal with the woman. I'll handle this man!"
"Yes! Boss!"
The merfolk nodded and then charged towards Aixi, while Boss Huang rushed towards Ye Feng.
Seeing this, Ye Feng had no choice but to brace himself and go.
Boss Huang's strength was formidable, at the late Innate stage, but his combat power was comparable to the peak Innate realm.
This was because his physique was terrifying, his body covered in scales, possessing immense strength, and his sharp claws and peculiar attack methods.
Ye Feng had never encountered someone like this before. In their first exchange, he was already at a disadvantage.
On the other side, Aixi fared even worse. Her cultivation was not low, at the early Innate stage, but she was facing six or seven merfolk alone. Her fists were no match for their numbers, and she was forced to retreat repeatedly, completely unable to resist.
The battle moved from the narrow corridor to the deck.
Ye Feng's side was doing relatively well. As the fight progressed, he began to adapt to Boss Huang's attacks.
Using the recently learned Collapsing Thunder Fist and Swift Wind Phantom Steps, he managed to avoid being completely overwhelmed.
However, Aixi on the other side couldn't hold on. With one careless mistake, she was blasted out of the ship by a merperson and fell into the sea.
"Aixi!"
Ye Feng shouted in alarm.
He forcefully repelled Boss Huang with a punch and then plunged headfirst into the sea.
"What? Damn it!"
Seeing this, Boss Huang rushed to the ship's railing and looked around.
But at this moment, the sea surface was covered in thick fog. Visibility was less than ten meters.
After searching for a while, they still couldn't see Ye Feng and the other person.
"Damn it! Two of them escaped?" Boss Huang said angrily.
Another merperson asked, "Boss, should we go down to check!"
However, Boss Huang sneered, "Go down to check? Don't you know what's inside the fog zone?"
The merperson immediately thought of something, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He quickly asked, "Th-then what should we do?"
"Take out your guns and shoot at the water surface!"
After saying that, he was the first to pull out a gun and start firing wildly at the spot where Ye Feng had jumped.
The other merfolk, seeing this, also took out their guns and started shooting in all directions.
Meanwhile, as Ye Feng entered the seawater, he immediately activated his underwater detection ability.
Although Ye Feng couldn't see beyond ten meters on the surface, he could see everything within a thousand meters in the water.
Therefore, he quickly spotted Aixi and swam to her side.
But at this moment, Aixi couldn't hold her breath any longer and was about to swim to the surface for air.
Seeing this, Ye Feng quickly stopped her, causing Aixi to bubble and say something underwater.
Just then, bullets shot into the water. If Ye Feng hadn't held her back, she would have been shot.
Aixi saw this and finally understood the reason, but she couldn't hold her breath any longer. If she didn't breathe, she would suffocate.
However, the firepower from above was intense. If she swam up, she would immediately become a target and be riddled with holes.
As they didn't know what to do, Aixi couldn't hold on any longer.
Her limbs began to struggle violently, and soon her movements slowed down, and she began to lose consciousness.
Seeing this, Ye Feng gritted his teeth, grabbed her slender waist, kissed her, and then supplied her with oxygen.
On the sea surface, after Boss Huang and the others finished firing, they waited for a while but still didn't see Ye Feng and the other person, so they had to give up.
"Forget it, two less is two less! It shouldn't be a big problem!" Boss Huang said with some annoyance.
Another merperson said, "Boss, we haven't seen their bodies. What if they're not dead and expose us when we get back?"
However, Boss Huang sneered, "What are you afraid of? Not to mention that the fog sea area is shrouded in mist, and anyone who enters will get lost! More importantly, do I need to tell you how terrifying those guys inside the fog zone are? They have no chance of survival."
The merperson nodded upon hearing this, "Oh, that's right! How could I forget that!"
Thus, Boss Huang and the others continued to sail forward.
After they left, Aixi, who was underwater, recovered thanks to the oxygen supplied by Ye Feng.
However, as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Ye Feng doing that to her.
Her eyes widened, and her face was filled with disbelief.
After reacting, Aixi shoved Ye Feng away and swam to the surface to breathe.
Ye Feng followed her and swam up.
Watching Aixi gasping for fresh air, Ye Feng quickly stepped forward and said, "Aixi, are you alright!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Aixi suddenly turned around and slapped him, angrily saying, "Ye Feng, you scoundrel, how dare you take advantage of me at a time like that!"
This sudden slap stunned Ye Feng.
