Bin Yong rushed out of the Grand Terminal Station while cutting down any fish men that were in the midst of transforming. If not for his 'sacrifice', the entire mob of Deep Ones would have chased after his friends through the subway exit.

At the very least, the menacing crowd of Deep Ones had their attention divided into two but Bin Yong had to deal with the situation carefully and yet aggressively fast before all the Deep Ones had taken on their final form.

"You made the right choice splitting yourself away from the group. Come join us." Suddenly the whispering was louder than before. But beyond that sentence, a series of mutters were overheard by Jin and he could barely hear the fish men talking to each other.

"Join us... !" Join us brrrrrotherrr!" "Kneel before the great Lord and be saved!" "You will gain powers you never have before!" "Be one with us!" The Deep Ones babbled all around him as they approached him slowly as Bin Yong finally reckoned they were in deep shit considering the situation where all the passers-by were indeed Deep Ones too.

He took a quick peek on his phone to confirm the location of the other entry to the subway station that was outside of the Grand Central Terminal. "5 minutes walk?! Make that a 1 minute run!" Bin Yong gritted his teeth to prevent himself from being influenced by the fishes' nonsenses as he kept his sword at the back of his waist and placed his buckler in the front while holding it with two hands.

"Intermediate Shield Art, Defending Wall of the Bombardier Beetle!" Bin Yong shouted as he inserted his chi into his shield. The buckler instantly energised by his chi, created a blue floating orb right in front of him, which expanded into the silhouette of a large blue triangular kite shield.

Acting like a secondary chi barrier, the blue triangle shield barrier bashed through the Deep Ones that were blocking his way, causing Bin Yong's enemies to be knocked to the side or even toppling over from the direct shield charge. This enabled Bin Yong to charge through the horde of Fish Men in a straight line without much difficulty.

However, the barrier still had its limits, which became apparent with the Deep one's overwhelming numbers. Whenever it hit a Deep One, a part of the barrier seemed to be chipped away by the attack. It was even more significant when knocking over the transforming Deep Ones, but it was entirely another issue when faced with a Deep One who was prepared to counter the Bombardier Beetle Cultivator.

As the Deep One in front of him charged with two spears pointing forward towards Bin Yong, it smashed into him with tremendous impact and nearly managed to slow him down significantly to the point that the other Deep Ones could pile on him.

"Intermediate Bombardier Beetle Style, Bombardment Counterattack!" Bin Yong shouted as he shook the spears away by slamming his shield to the ground, causing a blast of gas made from his chi to spread outwards from the shield impact. The gas irritated the Deep Ones' eyes and lungs so badly that they staggered. The ones closest to him suffered the worst, with their eyes melting and their fins and lungs dissolving upon absorbing the gas.

Naturally, his own attack did not affect Bin Yong in any way, but he rarely used this particular technique as it had the risk of injuring his own teammates. However, he developed it since he felt that it
