Chapter 51 - 51 Ning Buqi ‘s Arrival (Third update, seeking follow-up reading)_l
On the small boat.
Staring at the three incoming large ships, the old man was so frightened that his legs turned soft, and he sat on the deck, his eyes full of endless horror.
Jiang Yuan’s attention was not on him at all.
At this moment, as the sun rose, the mist gradually dissipated.
The silhouette of the mountain on the southern shore had already appeared in everyone’s sight.
His gaze was drawn to the silhouette of the mountainous structure on the southern shore, as his intuition told him.
Someone over there was watching them, with deep malice.
Jiang Yuan trusted his intuition.
Ever since his physical body had become stronger, his five senses had also become extraordinarily prominent.
Especially after the upgrade of his qi movement, the appearance of this green innate qi luck associated with the divine soul.
Once again, greatly increased his five senses, to the point where they were extraordinary and transcended the mundane.
Even so, his vision could not penetrate this heavy and hazy mist.
He could only make out a vague outline of the mountain.
Yet, if his intuition was correct, it meant that someone on the other side could see through the thick and hazy mist and see him.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have this strong sense of unease.
Jiang Yuan slightly frowned, and then slowly relaxed.
No need to rush!
Once the mist clears up, whether it’s a person or a ghost, all will be revealed.
Next, Jiang Yuan focused his gaze on these three large ships that were rapidly approaching.
A black flag was fluttering in the wind on the ship.
All of a sudden.
A clear voice of a woman echoed from afar.
“You dummies over there, why are you still standing still, don’t you want to live? The ship in front of you belongs to the water bandits of Kuangfeng Tribe. Don’t believe any of their words, quickly move closer to me, this young miss can guarantee your lives!”
Jiang Yuan glanced at the Su family’s merchant ship and smiled.
Old Ma stood next to Jiang Yuan and whispered, “Young Master, what’s the plan now?”
Jiang Yuan said, “Hold still. I think Ning Buqi should be here any minute now!”
Just then, Jiang Yuan added, “He…is here!”
“Who’s here?”
Right after Old Ma spoke, he immediately realized.
“Young Master, are you saying the leader of the Black Wind Tribe is here?”
“Uh huh!” Jiang Yuan nodded slightly.
His gaze was firmly fixed on the depths of the mist.
Despite being far away, and only seeing a vast expanse of white mist, he had already sensed the powerful Body Forging Level Nine qi.
At the same time.
On the large ship of the Kuangfeng Tribe’s water bandits.
A cycloptic strong man was somewhat puzzled, “Second, do you think the people from Zhenyuan Escort Agency has gone mad? Why are they still standing there? Do they have something up their sleeves?”
“Boss, you know I’m not that smart, don’t ask me these difficult questions!”
He scratched his head, grinning as he said.
On the other side.
On the Su family’s merchant ship.
A young lady in a blue dress was similarly curious.
“Elder Fu, do you think the people on that small boat have been terrified by the water bandits? I’ve been calling them for a while, but they haven’t moved an inch!”
Elder Fu chuckled and shook his head, “How would I know! Maybe they have some experts within, not afraid of the water bandits of Kuangfeng Tribe! ”
“Are they really that powerful? I’ve heard that the water bandits of Kuangfeng
Tribe rank among the top three on Smoke Ripple Lake, and both their Grand
Master and Second Master are at the Body Forging Eighth Level.”
“Young Miss is correct! Indeed it is so!” Elder Fu nodded in agreement, adding, “But their defiance might suggest they have something to rely on!” Just then.
His smile disappeared instantly, his eyebrows knotted, his expression becoming extremely severe.
Seeing the abrupt change in Elder Fu’s expression, the lady in the blue dress instantly filled with tension. “Elder Fu, what’s wrong?”
“A high-level expert is coming!!”
Following which, he called out: “Commander Liu, ring the warning bell quickly! Everyone on alert!”
“Yes!” A man next to him immediately replied, then quickly sprang into action. In an instant.
“Dong!”
“Dong!”
“Dong!”
Three hurried bell sounds rang out.
Hurried footsteps instantly filled the entire merchant ship.
At this moment, Elder Fu’s expression did not relax, but instead became even heavier.
“How can this be… such intense oppression!
His expression became somewhat terrified, and the qi and blood within his body suddenly surged from a slow flow to a rapid tide, spreading throughout his body in an instant.
His originally somewhat small body, within this short span, suddenly became robust, growing over ten centimeters taller.
An extremely strong pressure instantly bore down upon the hearts of everyone on the ship.
Sensing this scene, everyone grew even more nervous.
Body Forging Ninth Level Elder Fu is preparing to fight for his life!
With his age, each fight would vastly damage his life source, reducing his lifespan.
But with each desperate struggle, his capability within the Body Forging Ninth Level was exceptionally strong.
At the Body Forging Ninth Level, spirit, qi, and divine soul can merge, fully controlling the entire body.
If needed, one could completely stimulate the latent qi and blood, displaying the strength of sixty to seventy percent from their peak period.
However, doing so would greatly consume the life source, resulting in a significant reduction in lifespan.
At his peak period, Elder Fu was a transcendent figure who was one step away from being accepted into the immortal sect.
And just at that moment.
Fourteen light boats emerged from the mist over the water.
Seeing them at that moment.
Elder Fu’s pupils abruptly contracted.
“This is… the Thirteen Major Thieves of Mang Mountain! Plus one unknown top powerhouse! Why are they heading towards us? When did the Su Family offend such strong enemies?”
His gaze suddenly sank, his heart filled with despair.
He could still fight against one or two such strong ones.
But fourteen, how could he fight?
Amongst them, thirteen were the infamously renowned Thirteen Major Thieves of Mang Mountain.
Facing such powerful enemies, any resistance was meaningless, and it would only provoke their brutal side.
Perhaps not resisting was the best choice.
At this moment, as the fourteen light boats appeared in front of the Su Family’s merchant ship.
Everyone felt as if there was a large bell pressing down on their hearts, leaving them out of breath.
They could only silently watch as they got closer and closer, not daring to make a sound.
After a moment.
As the fourteen light boats got closer and closer, just as Elder Fu was giving in to despair and preparing to give up struggling. Suddenly, he looked stunned, somewhat taken aback.
It seems the target is not us?
The next moment.
The fourteen light boats shot straight past the Su Family’s ship without making any stops.
Elder Fu was overjoyed in his heart, feeling as if he had been transported from hell to heaven in an instant.
Great! Their target is really not us, the Su Family!
His heart also instantly let out a sigh of relief, and he felt somewhat drained. “Elder Fu, are those people all Body Forging Ninth Level powerhouses?”
The maiden in a blue dress slowly asked, her voice was somewhat hoarse at this moment.
“Yes, the thirteen of them are the Thirteen Major Thieves of Mang Mountain!”
“The Thirteen Major Thieves of Mang Mountain?” The maiden was somewhat shocked, then asked: “Who exactly can make them leave the Mang Mountain territory and come to Smoke Ripple Lake?”
Elder Fu shook his head: “I don’t know who possesses such extraordinary capabilities to order them to rush thousands of miles away.”
“Then… Elder Fu, who do you think is the target of these thirteen people? I can feel an incredibly strong killing intent from them!”
“I don’t know! I can’t think of anyone worthy of mobilizing all thirteen of them!”
