Chapter 398: Chapter 219: Ghost Shark, Red Giant, Octopus Man X Bai Yi and Blue Owl_2

At that moment, a pitch-black dorsal fin tore through the asphalt surface, creating a sharp slit as it protruded from the ground.

Blue Owl was all too familiar with this scene, reminiscent of a documentary from childhood, where shark fins emerged from the sea surface.

In that fleeting 0.5 seconds, Blue Owl fixed his gaze on the fin and instantly understood why Red Giant and Octopus Man had been holding this position for so long, with no clue to the enemy’s whereabouts.

Because Ghost Shark had hidden beneath the ground, the two new hero stars had blocked off both ends of the street. If Ghost Shark tried to escape beside them, they would definitely drag it out from underground.

The next moment, accompanied by a rumbling roar, the ground trembled slightly, and the owner of that dorsal fin crawled beneath the surface at an inconceivably fast speed toward Bai Yi, who was about to land.

“Hey, what are you two assholes doing?” Red Giant bellowed.

“Be careful!” Octopus Man shouted.

But by the time their voices pierced through the curtain of rain, it was already too late. In an instant, Ghost Shark had appeared beneath Bai Yi, who had just landed, breaking through the soil.

In that instant, Blue Owl, relying on his Spider Sense, quickly flipped away with a reactive bounce.

But Bai Yi had not yet reacted and was already captured from behind by Ghost Shark that had burst from the ground. Seeing that the opponent did not immediately attack Bai Yi, Blue Owl roughly guessed the situation.

“Ghost Shark didn’t kill him right away. He wants to use Bai Yi as a hostage to threaten Red Giant and Octopus Man to let him go,” he thought.

With that in mind, Blue Owl looked up intently.

True to its name, before him was a man who looked just like a shark, his mouth filled with sharp teeth, sharp tips on the top of his head, and arms fitted with eerie arm blades.

Ghost Shark was visibly battered with torn clothes, suggesting that it had previously had a fierce battle with Red Giant and Octopus Man and was now drained of strength.

Seeing that the situation matched his guess, Blue Owl breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the panel that popped up overhead.

[Character Code: Ghost Shark]

[Danger Level: C++]

[Character Introduction: A mutant, his body has shark-like characteristics, but he prefers to move through the soil rather than the sea.]

“Let me go, or I’ll kill this dove,” Ghost Shark rasped, pressing his arm blade against Bai Yi’s throat.

Red Giant and Octopus Man exchanged a look, their faces a bit gloomy, seemingly reluctant to compromise: it was hard enough to catch the criminal, and now they might have to release him because of Bai Yi.

But there was no helping it; they were about to speak when Bai Yi’s words interrupted their thoughts.

“Dove?” Bai Yi said, “Uh, I must remind you, I’m actually a bird, not a dove.”

“Shut up… you dumb bird.”

As Blue Owl spoke, he locked eyes with Bai Yi.

The former was calm, while the latter slightly curled his lips. The two reached an understanding in their minds.

The next moment, Blue Owl slightly crouched and released Phase Transfer, swapping places with Ghost Shark, appearing behind Bai Yi.

Simultaneously, the well-prepared Bai Yi instantly unfolded his massive white wings and shot a storm of feathers at Ghost Shark, who was a short distance away.

“Arghhhhh—!”

Caught off guard, Ghost Shark’s body was slashed with countless gashes, wounds upon wounds, blood spurted wildly.

Taking advantage of the moment Bai Yi suppressed Ghost Shark with his feathers, Blue Owl charged from the side towards Ghost Shark, releasing his solar-powered punch. His flaming fists evaporated the pouring rain, the hot, white air smashing into his body with tremendous force.

Bang!

The loud noise followed, and Ghost Shark’s neck was blasted with a huge hole by Flame Fist.

With his bloodied, sharp-toothed mouth open, he could not utter a word and fell to the ground with vacant eyes, splashing water around.

[You have killed a C-class Superhuman. Your C-class Superhuman killing milestone has been refreshed.]

Oh, classic Blue Owl’s spectacular finishing move.

Blue Owl swung his somewhat sore fist, thinking how tough the mutant bodies are, even such a vulnerable spot like the neck felt like iron.

If it hadn’t been for the prior beatings by Red Giant and Octopus Man, he really wouldn’t have been a match for this Shark Man.

Seeing this, both Red Giant and Octopus Man breathed a sigh of relief.

Red Giant lowered his face and gloomily “tsked” before commanding the giant standing behind him to disappear.

The short hero folded his arms and coldly stared at Blue Owl’s silhouette: “That owl kid, huh…”

Meanwhile, Octopus Man stepped forward.

He stood in front of Blue Owl and Bai Yi, lowering his gaze towards the body of Ghost Shark, silent.

“That was close,” Bai Yi said as he retracted his wings, confirming that Ghost Shark had lost signs of life and then turning to Octopus Man with a smile.

Octopus Man took a deep breath, lifting his gaze from the body of Ghost Shark, looking intently at Bai Yi.

He said calmly, “I’ll be honest, this mission was very dangerous. You should have realized from the notification that you shouldn’t have interfered: Ghost Shark had no way out, yet your arrival gave him a glimmer of hope.”

“Hey man, can you not be so rigid… Anyway, the result is good, isn’t it?” Blue Owl shrugged.

“But the process was wrong. If you hadn’t come, Ghost Shark, already on his last breath, wouldn’t have had any chance of turning the situation around,” Octopus Man said, “Also, what if Ghost Shark had chosen to kill Bai Yi in that instant he caught him rather than taking him hostage? Would you have been able to react in time?”
