But, no matter how crazily Fein tries to escape, he simply can't outrun these Bo's hot tempered eels before him.

He only has one direction to flee — the river bank!

Yet, Xu Hao is on the river bank!

If he goes ashore now, it would be akin to delivering himself right to Xu Hao's doorstep.

In his heart, Fein cursed the person who unleashed these Bo's hot tempered eels tens of thousands of times. His hands suddenly exerted force; he wanted to strike first and kill these Bo's hot tempered eels first.

When the first Bo's hot tempered eel lunged at him, Fein moved instantly.

First he evaded the attack from its enormous mouth, which was completely disproportionate to its body size, and then shifted to the side, savagely grabbing its body.

"Damn! How can it be so hard!"

Feeling the hardness of its skin, which was entirely different from a normal Bo's hot tempered eel, Fein couldn't help but swear. He hadn't anticipated that the hardness of these mutants would far exceed his expectations; his hands, capable of shattering any rock, only carved a small hole on its body.

Moreover, this Bo's hot tempered eel wasn't dead but became even more ferocious, biting towards Fein again.

Simultaneously, other Bo's hot tempered eels also charged forward. In the water, even with the Blood Clan's physique, Fein was far less agile compared to these nimble fish; he carelessly got bitten.

If it were a regular Grandmaster Level expert bitten by these Bo's hot tempered eels, their protective qi energy would shatter, instantly severing their limbs. But Fein's body was incredibly sturdy; their teeth could just leave small holes on it.

However, Fein was still extremely terrified; his vital energy and blood were draining away. The Blood Clan fears energy and blood depletion most; if it drains too much, his power will rapidly decline!

But the progress of the situation was not something Fein could prevent.

He frantically attacked these Bo's hot tempered eels, yet his own injuries grew more severe.

Finally, he had to flee towards the shore.

Although it was very likely he would die upon reaching the shore, there was certainty of death if he remained in the water!

Meanwhile, Xu Hao had long sensed that something was amiss, realizing that someone was fighting beneath the river's surface.

Could it be that there's someone else besides Fein in the water?

Fein's enemy?

Xu Hao opted not to leave for the time being, choosing instead to wait quietly by the shore.

At this moment, the frantically fleeing Fein finally reached the riverbank.

Those Bo's hot tempered eels relentlessly pursuing him also attempted to surge onto the bank!

Upon seeing these Bo's hot tempered eels, Xu Hao immediately shouted angrily: "Who released such ferocious fish into the river!"

Although he didn't want to save Fein, Xu Hao understood the gravity of the situation. The river banks of the Yangtze River housed countless fishermen relying on fishing for a living; if confronted by such vicious Bo's hot tempered eels, their lives and properties would be severely endangered.

Whoever released these ferocious fish is unforgivable!

He immediately leapt towards Fein, then wielded Sword Qi to slay all the Bo's hot tempered eels on the spot!

Though these fish were fearsome in the water, now they had all leapt high to attack Fein, exposing themselves to the air without water's obstruction. Xu Hao could naturally kill them instantly.

Fein looked with lingering fear at the scattered bodies of Bo's hot tempered eels on the ground, hurriedly saying: "Thank you, Xu Hao, for helping me out like a true friend."

Yet Xu Hao responded indifferently: "I just don't want such ferocious fish to appear in the Yangtze River. I will certainly have this matter investigated; once I find out who released these Bo's hot tempered eels, I will not spare them!

I suspect that these Bo's hot tempered eels were intended solely for me, perhaps released by someone who believed you would defeat me, causing me to flee in panic, thus releasing them when someone fell into the water. Unfortunately, I did not lose, and these Bo's hot tempered eels became the last straw to break you."

Upon hearing Xu Hao's speculation, Fein instantly felt it made perfect sense.

He was just a hapless fool who accidentally ran into the crosshairs!

Thinking about this, his heart grew even more agitated, instantly standing up and shouted angrily: "Who released these Bo's hot tempered eels into the river? Come out and show yourself!"

He scanned everyone present, looking at each person.

Fein knew full well that ordinary Bo's hot tempered eels were not easily obtainable by regular folks, primarily due to the difficulty in storing such fish, let alone this mutant variety which was even harder to acquire.

Thus, those who managed these Bo's hot tempered eels must have power and influence.

Therefore, his gaze naturally lingered longer on Wu Kui and others.

Sensing Fein's suspicious gaze, Wu Kui immediately puffed out his chest, looking at Fein "fearlessly."

Fein pondered for a moment, thinking it probably wasn't Wu Kui and his people.

At this point, Xu Hao said: "Alright, since you've been forced ashore, I should send you on your way."
