I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1357: The Strongest Woman in the World

Shock!

A wave of unparalleled astonishment swept over every Demon Hunter's face. The horrifying spectacle unfolding before them was infinitely more devastating than the tsunami itself, leaving them utterly speechless!

They remained frozen in place for what felt like an eternity, unable to pull themselves from the daze.

Even the renowned Feng Tianci muttered in a trance, as though trapped in some surreal vision.

"This..."

Only the static burst from the walkie-talkie in his grasp snapped him back, prompting him to glance downward!

"Elder Feng!"

"What's the status of Hongdu's coastline?!"

"Urgent classified updates from multiple coastal areas indicate a suited and shod enigmatic man has shown up in key cities, effortlessly halting the tsunamis!"

Upon hearing the frantic yet thrilled tone, Feng Tianci, barely regaining composure, found himself stunned once more!

The awe-inspiring entity they'd just observed wielded techniques beyond comprehension. No historical accounts in humanity's archives could rival him. For such an individual to emerge in numerous locations simultaneously—how was that feasible?!

What sort of enigmatic and fearsome group stood behind this?

He abruptly stirred and lifted his gaze skyward, discovering no trace of the form, as if it had merged seamlessly with the cosmos and vanished.

Yet, the agents assigned to shadow Wu Tao earlier sensed a vague recognition upon viewing the sudden arrival.

All at once.

Feng Tianci's eyes quivered intensely, plunging him into total disbelief!

Was it possible a deity had actually come down to earth?!

The nearby Demon Hunters were struck even more mute with terror, their gazes brimming with profound, wordless veneration. Not even those who had collapsed in relief after the ordeal stayed silent.

The enigmatic silhouette etched itself indelibly into their minds, a memory for the ages, while sparking boundless questions and respect.

Precisely who was that earlier apparition?!

Meanwhile.

Similar waves of staggering impact rippled throughout the Xia Kingdom. Though civilians remained oblivious to the details, merely celebrating the averted catastrophe, among the Demon Hunters, whispers of the unknown savior had already elevated him to divine status!

The source of this entire uproar, Wu Tao, now plunged into the sea's depths.

With merely a fraction of his cultivation expended, Wu Tao had triggered a colossal calamity, at last drawing forth the colossal creature lurking far below the waves. Resembling a massive octopus yet sporting a human visage and hawk-like eyes, it exuded an intensely eerie aura.

Bursting from the water amid gales and surges, it sent the tiny isle quaking and rocking.

This rivaled a full-scale magnitude nine quake!

Beholding this, Xu Rong—already battered by successive jolts—stood numb with fear, her mind on the verge of shutdown!

As she watched Wu Tao stride across the waves and even soar in combat against the behemoth...

Xu Rong's vision blurred with the speed, leaving her rooted to the spot on the island, trembling uncontrollably.

Before she could steal a few more anxious glances.

Wu Tao had positioned himself squarely before the faltering monster's skull, poised to pose his inquiry.

"Hey..."

Unexpectedly, as his words escaped, a bolt of lightning crashed from above!

"Crack!"

Accompanied by this sharp clap, the beast charred black, plummeting to the depths like a pair of colossal meat slabs, devoid of any vital signs. It was utterly deceased.

Wu Tao squinted upward at the heavens.

"What a ruthless silencing tactic!"

He'd at last secured a prisoner for questioning, only for it to perish in that instant. The extensive efforts he'd poured into this disturbance now seemed pointless.

Fury twisted Wu Tao's features in irritation!

"Damn it, my oversight..."

"I truly never anticipated they'd eliminate it so abruptly. Now the vital lead is severed once more—how do I even continue?"

After ruffling his hair and pondering endlessly, Wu Tao drew a blank.

Resigned, he trudged back to the islet to probe the lovely captain for details.

He retained his casual demeanor, hands jammed into his shorts' pockets, sporting commonplace sandals, and sporting disheveled locks. Still, his approach made Xu Rong's expression tighten in dread, stripped of her former disdain.

"Why, why are you staring like that..."

Noting the captain's flustered visage, Wu Tao sighed inwardly.

In this realm, a being of his caliber was bound to intimidate. Even for non-civilians witnessing him, acceptance wouldn't come easily. Merely hinting at his cultivation could upend their realities.

He strived to soften his presence, offering a gentle grin as he ventured a chat.

"Relax a bit, I only need some info. Have you heard of a woman deemed the world's mightiest and most enigmatic force? Her prowess stands unrivaled, and her name alone makes others steer clear of confrontation?"

His query barely ended.

Xu Rong's gaze dulled briefly, suggesting familiarity.

"The mightiest woman..."

"You're referring to Sister Han, I believe."

Wu Tao crouched, curiosity gleaming in his eyes.

"Sister Han?"

"What details do you have? Share them."

Despite the mild delivery, to Xu Rong, it resonated with an overwhelming authority, like a judgment over life and death. She withheld nothing, spilling all she knew.

"Sister Han is a mythic personality."

"Legends claim she eclipses every global entity, drifting beyond national borders, untouched by conflicts or allegiances. She's the era's most secretive female icon."

"A figure so elusive isn't for common folk to grasp. Even in tales, I've only caught my superiors alluding to her now and then. Deeper facts escape me."

Wu Tao gave a faint nod, then pressed on.

"Hmm..."

"So, any idea how to reach her?"

This gave Xu Rong pause. She mulled it over extensively before responding warily.

"Reach her?"

"A heavyweight like that—I've merely encountered the name. Pingjiang City lacks the stature to interact with her. To locate her, you'd likely need our Demon Hunter Department's central office. Beyond them, no one comes to mind who could connect with Sister Han."

The further Wu Tao heard, the more viable it seemed, his gaze brightening.

"If there's a path!"

"Quick, assist in checking if we can track her down immediately."

His instruction landed, and Xu Rong, having disclosed all prior knowledge, displayed reluctance.

"Ah, well..."

"As merely a captain, I lack such power or clearance."

"Only if the Chief Captain escalates it might there be hope..."

These remarks didn't deter Wu Tao; he delved straight to the core.

"The Chief Captain?"

"I recall from our prior encounter, you led the vanguard, and a bespectacled fellow in the trailing vehicle appeared authoritative. Is he the Chief Captain?"

Xu Rong nodded instinctively, fearing deception.

"Correct, Captain Hao leads Pingjiang City's Demon Hunter Department. Solely he can petition headquarters on Sister Han's caliber issues."

Her statement concluded.

A whoosh echoed as Wu Tao's limb pierced the emptiness, delving into an obscure void. Witnessing this, Xu Rong gaped in amazement, gulping in profound unease...

Pingjiang City.

Demon Hunter Department.

The office phone buzzed. The Chief Captain snatched it up hastily, his eyes expanding as the caller's words sank in!

"Old Hao! Amazing tidings, utterly superb!"

"What's happening?!"

"Enigmatic saviors have materialized along every shoreline! They command inconceivable might—one individual alone eradicated the tsunami peril! Top-secret dispatches confirm the crisis averted nationwide. The globe remains secure, save for their corner enjoying a 'pleasant existence'!"

"One individual?! Who wields such dominance?! Is this verifiable?!"

"Straight from secure channels—undeniable! Origins unknown, but they intervened at vital coasts to thwart the Xia Nation's doom! Whatever their roots, they're allies, not adversaries. A boon for our multitudes!"

"Outstanding! Marvelous!"

"Beep, beep, beep..."

Disconnecting, Captain Hao slumped into his seat, exhaling deeply in relief!

"Phew..."

"The heavens favor our Xia Nation indeed. Who'd imagine such a formidable, shadowy alliance stepping in to aid!"

"Simply incredible!"

The deeper his reflections, the greater his elation. Captain Hao's strained resolve eased at last. He dismissed further speculation; his countenance radiated ease and delight, rejoicing for the masses spared from calamity.

Swept by euphoria, he fished out an elegant flask from his attire. Disregarding protocol mid-shift, he geared up for a generous swig in triumph!

Precisely then.

A tear in space ripped open directly ahead, forming a peculiar void!

Captain Hao attributed it to his heightened spirits playing tricks. He squinted for clarity, confirming the abyssal portal hovered unmistakably before him...

His form went rigid in an instant.

This occurrence defied all precedent, laden with enigma and the arcane. As Demon Hunting Head, he gawked in disbelief, momentarily at a loss for action.

Before additional scrutiny.

An arm thrust from the abyss, blanching his features in horror!

"Holy shit!"

The instinctive expletive had just escaped when Captain Hao was hauled within. Merely his untouched flask clattered onto the couch as the portal sealed seamlessly, restoring the office to pristine normalcy.

Like occurrences abounded.

At this juncture, jubilant updates flooded the Demon Hunting Department. Amid cries of "Holy shit!" everywhere, none detected the anomaly in the Chief Captain's quarters.

Thousands of miles distant.

Captain Hao emerged from the grip, deposited on a beach with utter confusion etched on his face...
