Chapter 314 - 302: Slaughter, Shock
SLICE! SLICE!
The two Silver Dragon Shuttles sliced across her opponent’s back. Flesh instantly split open, and blood rained down onto the river’s surface.
Wracked by excruciating pain, her opponent’s body smashed back into the water.
’A perfect chance!’
Qian Qinghong’s combat instincts were incredibly sharp. Under the control of her slender hands, the Silver Dragon Shuttles danced through the air once more, slashing toward Sun Rui’s neck.
If this strike landed, it would be enough to kill her opponent in one blow!
"Bitch, you dare!!!"
At that critical moment.
From a distance, Xue Kuang let out a furious roar, spun around, and violently hurled the Eight Desolations Heavy Anchor in his hand like a javelin!
"BOOM!"
The heavy anchor whistled through the air with a terrifying sonic boom, savagely smashing into the pair of Silver Dragon Shuttles and saving Sun Rui.
Immediately after, Xue Kuang, like a completely enraged wild tiger, punched away Xu Hesui’s precious sword. His body carved a white wake through the water as he charged over.
"Die!"
Xue Kuang threw a punch down at Qian Qinghong, his eyes blazing with fury.
Qian Qinghong instantly recalled the pair of Silver Dragon Shuttles to block in front of her.
"BANG!"
The Silver Dragon Shuttles let out a hum as their silver light flickered violently, clearly unable to withstand the blow.
However, Qian Qinghong cleverly used the immense force to retreat swiftly, like a nimble swift. In the end, she managed to dissipate the force of the attack and remained unharmed.
Xu Hesui, who had followed close behind Xue Kuang, happened to witness the entire scene. A rare glint of surprise flashed through her bright, emerald eyes.
She cultivated a special ocular art, known as the Azure Nether Spiritual Eyes, which allowed her to perceive special things.
As she carefully sized up Qian Qinghong, a look of satisfaction seemed to flash in her eyes.
At the same time, Su Yu’s figure flashed down. He gently supported Qian Qinghong by her slender waist and asked softly, "Are you alright?"
Qian Qinghong immediately turned and hugged his arm, smiling sweetly. "Husband, Hong’Er is fine~"
"Damn you! You killed all the gang members I brought with me!"
Just then, Xue Kuang saw the carnage on the treasure ship and flew into a rage.
"Sun Rui, you useless trash! You actually let someone slaughter all your subordinates!"
Xue Kuang was incandescent with rage. Evil Qi billowed from his body as he landed on the water’s surface with a BANG, sending up a massive splash.
Seeing that his opponent was about to attack again, Su Yu shouted, "Brother Leng, let’s team up and take down this Xue Kuang first!"
Su Yu and Qian Qinghong exchanged a glance. With a flash, they leaped onto the treasure ship and hid behind Leng Fei and the hunchbacked old man, putting on a show of forming an alliance.
Leng Fei’s expression froze. He wanted to refuse, but the black dragon fish hadn’t been caught yet. If he turned on them now, all his previous acting would have been for nothing.
"Die! Raging Dragon Emerges from the Sea!"
Giving Leng Fei no time to think, the enraged Xue Kuang had already followed them, leaping onto the treasure ship and attacking them all.
The Eight Desolations Heavy Anchor in his hand was like a furious dragon emerging from the sea. Wreathed in a berserk energy, he swung it in a massive semicircle, creating a sonic boom like a crack of thunder!
What was most terrifying was that this strike was infused with Xue Kuang’s domineering Martial Arts presence! It made one feel as if they were facing a vicious flood dragon, and fear and despair involuntarily welled up from the bottom of their hearts.
In his fury, Xue Kuang had clearly unleashed this attack with his full power, holding nothing back. He was determined to smash these annoying nobodies into meat paste with a single move!
"We can’t dodge it! Attack together, Brother Leng!" Su Yu urged loudly from behind, his voice filled with panic and anxiety.
Hearing Su Yu’s urging, Leng Fei, in his urgency, didn’t have time to think. Frustrated, he could only grit his teeth, unleash his Qi and Blood with the hunchbacked old man beside him, and strike back with all his might.
’In Leng Fei’s mind, his side had three Muscle Forging Realm masters. As long as the three of them joined forces, they would definitely be no weaker than Xue Kuang.’
’Besides, if they didn’t fight now, they would have to face this mad dog sooner or later when the black dragon fish appeared. Better to just have it out now!’
However, what happened in the next instant almost made Leng Fei collapse and vomit blood on the spot.
After shouting for them to attack together, Su Yu—who had been hiding behind them—grabbed Qian Qinghong and smoothly retreated dozens of yards away!
"BOOM—"
Xue Kuang’s domineering strike collided with the attacks from Leng Fei’s duo, creating a massive impact that sounded as if it could shatter eardrums.
"Get the hell out of my way!!!"
The two sides were locked in a fierce stalemate for less than an instant.
The deep-sea giant whale tattoo on Xue Kuang’s chest and back suddenly seemed to come alive! As an eerie, blood-red light flickered, the terrifying power in Xue Kuang’s arms surged once more!
"RUMBLE!"
The savage power instantly and effortlessly tore through the duo’s defenses, brutally knocking them back.
"Ptoo! Ptoo!"
Leng Fei and his old servant were both sent flying, unable to stop themselves from spitting out large mouthfuls of blood. It was clear they were injured after just this single exchange.
"Trash! All of you can die!"
Having succeeded with one strike, Xue Kuang’s aura soared. He was about to press his advantage and kill the two of them for good.
"Xue Kuang! That’s enough!"
At this moment, Xu Hesui’s figure flashed, and she too arrived on the treasure ship, blocking Xue Kuang’s path.
"There are only four factions left now, all with Muscle Forging Realm experts present. Let’s capture the black dragon fish first!"
Yan Gulin, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, saw that the time was right. He also flashed onto the treasure ship, smiling as he mediated, "Haha, Fairy Xu is absolutely right! Everyone, the ants who were trying to fish in troubled waters are now either dead or have fled. Things are much cleaner now."
"If we don’t make a move soon, once it gets completely dark, the black dragon fish will escape under the cover of night. Then all our efforts will have been for nothing!"
Seeing Xu Hesui and Yan Gulin both blocking his way, Xue Kuang had no choice but to stop, even though the killing intent in his heart had not subsided.
’He knew perfectly well that if he fought both of them at the same time, even he wouldn’t come out on top.’
’Besides, the ones who died were just ordinary members of the Giant Whale Gang. He couldn’t care less whether those ants lived or died. His earlier rage was more about protecting his own domineering reputation.’
"You punk, I’ll remember you. After we catch that black dragon fish, I’m going to kill you!"
Killing intent erupted in Xue Kuang’s eyes as he stared daggers at Su Yu.
’This punk, who was only in the Flesh Refining Realm, dared to be so arrogant just because he had a wife in the Muscle Forging Realm. It really pissed him off.’
Leng Fei was just as pissed off. He wanted to demand why Su Yu hadn’t helped, but Su Yu cut him off with a single sentence. "Brother Leng, my strength is too low. I was scared stiff just now, so please don’t blame me. And my wife, well, she only has eyes for me. Her first instinct was to protect me.
"But don’t you worry. When it’s time to capture the black dragon fish, I’ll show you what I can do. I’ll definitely be the first to get my hands on that prize fish!"
With that, Su Yu took out an Iron Wire Net, leaped off the treasure ship, and started acting like he was looking for a chance for Casting Net.
’Leng Fei could only suppress his anger, consoling himself. ’Just a little longer. Just a little longer, and I’ll kill him! Then his top-quality wife will be mine!’’
Seeing Su Yu’s display, Yan Gulin couldn’t help but sneer mockingly, "This little brother is quite a character. The black dragon fish is extremely fast. You think you can catch it with an Iron Wire Net? I’ve been on the water for half my life, and I’ve never seen anyone try to catch a black dragon fish like that."
Xu Hesui raised a delicate eyebrow, her gaze toward Su Yu now filled with disgust.
’Su Yu had just formed an alliance with Leng Fei only to not back him up. She found his actions despicable. Not only that, but he was only in the Flesh Refining Realm, completely reliant on his Muscle Forging Realm wife for protection. And yet he still dared to stir up trouble everywhere, even killing members of the Giant Whale Gang. What an ignorant, pretty-faced young master who doesn’t know his own limits!’
’His wife, however, was a true genius. It was such a shame for a woman like her to be with a young master like him.’
Su Yu didn’t know what the others were thinking, not that he would care if he did. At this moment, he activated his Listening Wave Positioning Trait and was carefully sensing the black dragon fish’s location.
"Water Ghosts, into the water! Drive out that black dragon fish!"
Seeing that the sky had already grown dark, Yan Gulin didn’t dare to delay any longer and immediately gave the order.
...
One hour later, dozens of Water Ghosts used all their methods—drag nets, Fish Spears, water mines... The black dragon fish was finally driven out from underwater.
"There it is, the black dragon fish!"
Everyone’s faces lit up with joy as they all chased after the black dragon fish. The various Muscle Forging Realm masters took action one after another, quickly trapping it.
"Haha, you can’t escape! Everyone, show off your Divine Skills! Whoever catches this black dragon fish gets to keep it!"
On Su Yu’s side, he continued to hold his Iron Wire Net, when suddenly a flash of bewilderment crossed his face.
"Husband, what is it?"
Qian Qinghong, noticing the fleeting look of surprise on Su Yu’s face, asked in a low voice.
