Chapter 716: Those Who Cross This Bridge Will Die!
“Who is this person? He has actually reached the level of being one with water?”
“Judging from his aura, he must be a giant!”
“Such a person must not be challenged!”
“…”
Even though s.h.i.+ Qianhan did not give off any aura, it still caused many people to feel fear. In an instant, countless gazes were fixed on him.
His expression was cold. After he landed on the sh.o.r.e, many people subconsciously took a few steps back, not daring to approach him.
Luo Shuiyao said without surprise, “This guy really came!”
Liu Yunfeng, who was next to her, frowned, “Didn’t I hear that he was severely injured by the martial emperor of the Xiao Clan? Why doesn’t he look injured at all?”
Xiang Nan and the rest could not help but reveal solemn expressions upon hearing that.
Even Luo Tianya and Tang Yiming were no exception!
The Emperor Stage!
It was their lifelong pursuit!
Even though they were all ranked on the Martial Venerable Leaderboard, they knew very well that there was a vast difference between martial venerable and martial emperor.
s.h.i.+ Qianhan, on the other hand, had been able to escape death from a martial emperor. This went to show just how terrifying his strength was!
“He seems to have become more powerful again!”
Luo Tianya had a grim expression on his face, and a hint of battle intent emanated from his body.
Tang Yiming chuckled, “Lunatic Luo, could it be that you want to challenge him?”
“There will be a battle between us sooner or later!”
Luo Tianya did not deny it either. Instead, he openly admitted to it, and the battle intent in his body intensified.
Tang Yiming and the rest muttered to themselves, “As expected of a lunatic…”
s.h.i.+ Qianhan suddenly looked over as if he sensed the battle intent from Luo Tianya. However, his cold expression eased when he noticed Ye Chen. He even nodded at him.
Luo Shuiyao asked immediately, “Ye Chen, do you know this guy?”
As soon as she said that, everyone, including Luo Tianya, looked at Ye Chen subconsciously because they noticed s.h.i.+ Qianhan’s action.
Ye Chen smiled lightly, “We met twice!”
“I advise you to stay away from this guy!”
Xiang Nan could not help but advise, “This guy killed many people in Shang Santian back then. A few days ago, he barged into the Xiao Clan alone and forced the clan’s martial emperor to break out of seclusion before severely injuring him. It can be said that he has enemies all over the world.”
Ye Chen smiled lightly, but he thought nothing of it. s.h.i.+ Qianhan had enemies all over the world, and so did he.
At the same time, Xiao Yuanjing and the rest also noticed s.h.i.+ Qianhan’s action.
Bai Shaoyu’s expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, “Yuanjing, that demon s.h.i.+ Qianhan seems to know Ye. Will he ruin our plan?”
When Xiao Yuanjing heard this, his eyes flickered for a moment before he sneered, “This is a good thing. Think about it, if the people of Shang Santian knew that s.h.i.+ Qianhan is close to Ye, he would die even faster.”
Just as everyone was deep in thought, s.h.i.+ Qianhan slowly walked out from the crowd and said slowly, “Everyone, the ghost s.h.i.+p is returning. It’s time to combine the eight tokens!”
With that, he suddenly waved, and a ray of dark light shot towards the ghost s.h.i.+p in the distance. The dark light circled above the ghost s.h.i.+p, and it was a netherworld token.
At the next moment, Ye Chen and the rest walked over with Xiao Yuanjing and the rest.
Seven streaks of dark light shot towards the ghost s.h.i.+p, turning into seven pieces of netherworld tokens and fusing with s.h.i.+ Qianhan’s piece.
Boom…
The originally still ghost s.h.i.+p suddenly shook violently, like a peerless beast waking up from its slumber, causing the surrounding river water to boil and set off countless waves, as if the entire Wu River was about to flip over.
Under such might, everyone could not help but feel their scalps go numb.
Someone exclaimed, “Look, what’s that?”
The eight netherworld tokens in the sky above the ghost s.h.i.+p had actually transformed into eight distorted ancient characters. Shockingly, they were the words ‘You can cross h.e.l.l with the netherworld’s order’!
The eight words exuded a cold and ancient aura.
“Netherworld? Could it be that this ghost s.h.i.+p really leads to the netherworld? Is there really a netherworld in this world?”
Someone mumbled to himself.
Before everyone could react, eight rays of dim light suddenly shot out from the ghost s.h.i.+p. The rays turned into eight iron chain bridges that were formed by countless black energies.
One end of the eight iron chain bridges was connected to the bow of the s.h.i.+p, while the other end extended to the open s.p.a.ce on the sh.o.r.e. They were arranged in the order of the eight trigram lines-qian, zhen, kan, gen, kun, xun, li, and dui. Endless black energy was emitted from them.
Obviously, they were the connecting bridges released by the ghost s.h.i.+p after the netherworld tokens were activated.
“Let’s go!”
Xiao Yuanjing shouted and took the lead to leap onto an iron chain bridge. Behind him were the members of the Xiao Clan.
Bai Shaoyu, on the other hand, led the members of the Bai family and the other members of the ancient families to step onto the iron chain bridge without any hesitation.
“Let’s follow them!”
Unwilling to fall behind, Luo Tianya led the members of the Luo and Xiang families to land on the kun bridge. Tong Shuhui landed on the kan bridge while Tang Yiming led the members of the Tang and Liu families onto the xun bridge.
The series of actions was completed almost instantly.
In an instant, six of the eight iron chain bridges were occupied, leaving only the zhen bridge and the dui bridge.
When everyone realized what was going on, their eyes turned red, “Charge! Take the remaining two iron chain bridges!”
Now, they all understood that forcefully boarding the s.h.i.+p would result in the backfire from the curse of the ghost s.h.i.+p. Only the iron chain bridges before them were safe to be boarded.
In an instant, the ma.s.s of people charged towards the two remaining iron chain bridges. Many were afraid of falling behind, so they began to fight. Screams rang out from time to time.
Seeing that one of them was about to reach the iron chain bridge, s.h.i.+ Qianhan snorted, “You’re courting death!”
A sword gleam flashed!
The man’s body split into two on the spot!
s.h.i.+ Qianhan leaped and landed on the iron chain bridge. With a sword in one hand, he looked coldly at the people below, “Those who cross this bridge will die!”
The ghost s.h.i.+p was dangerous to begin with. If more people boarded, it would be even more dangerous. After all, it was hard to tell what people were thinking. There was no guarantee that someone would attack you after they boarded the s.h.i.+p.
Therefore, the safest way was to reduce the number of people on board!
Seeing that the Martial Dao master from before had been killed by s.h.i.+ Qianhan with a single strike, the expressions of many of the experts at the front changed, as if they were afraid. However, they were soon covered in a ferocious expression and continued to charge forward.
“Let’s go too!”
Among the experts from the Western camp, the Blood Clan’s marquis Bruce grinned sinisterly and led everyone toward the zhen bridge that had yet to be occupied.
Behind him were the Fire Emperor, t.i.tan, and the rest.
However, just as they were about to reach the bridge, someone was faster than them and leaped over first.
At the next moment, an extremely cold voice slowly rang out, “Westerners and dogs are not allowed on the bridge. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed without mercy!”
Fire Emperor and t.i.tan who were behind Bruce could not help but blurt out subconsciously after seeing the person who spoke, “Mad Southern Ye, it’s you!”
