Chapter 1131: Slaying An Explorer
Eighteen years later.
A ragged s.h.i.+p that was riddled with holes was braving the storm.
Under this storm, the sky was dark. Every time a lightning bolt struck down, it illuminated the night. There were even lightning bolts striking the s.h.i.+p, but every time, there would be strange arrays appearing, and no lightning bolt could penetrate the array.
A domineering woman stepped on the bow and shouted proudly, “Sprint through this weird place.”
Someone cursed, “F*ck, what the h.e.l.l is this place? I’ve never heard of such a terrifying place in the outer sea.”
Someone was horrified. “It’s terrifying. The sea demon just now was blasted to death. That’s a great demon in the Dao Seeking realm.”
On the top of the mast, a silly-looking boy stood and looked at the lightning in the sky, asking subconsciously, “Forbidden area?”
It wasn’t until the next morning that the s.h.i.+p rushed out of the storm.
The morning dawned, and the sky was clear.
There were about twenty people on the boat, who all looked ferocious and were eating around big pots.
Among these people, there were only two exceptions. They often ate alone.
Han Fei was flying in the air, holding a big brush in his hand, drawing a picture.
“Okay! Marshal Han, you’re the best in terms of painting.”
“Marshal Han, I’m afraid no one else in Yu City can draw such a creative picture. Good job.”
Han Fei seemed to be used to these cries and was not touched at all. He was still drawing his pictures seriously, which were made of various lines, mysterious and complicated.
Only the flag at the top was different.
On it, there was a drawing of a skeleton wearing a sailor hat and a red bandana with two scimitars crossed, which was also drawn by Han Fei.
“Marshal Han, when are we going back to Yu City? With your capabilities, you can definitely kill two explorers.”
“Marshal Han…”
Suddenly, Han Fei glanced at the sea and disappeared. Then, the water surged and a translucent starfish was caught by him.
Chi la!
A peak-level law enforcer starfish was torn apart by Han Fei’s hands and didn’t even have a chance to fight back.
After a brief stun, everybody laughed. “Great, we have Starfish to eat now.”
Someone mumbled, “I prefer big clams, which have more meat.”
Someone spat. “Lobster is the best, of course. It tastes so good.”
Someone shouted, “F*ck off! Stir-fried octopus is the best!”
Just as they were discussing which food was delicious, suddenly, they heard a cold shout, “Eat, a bunch of foodies, go hunting. You guys just fool around all day long.”
Then these big men all shrank their necks and jumped into the sea.
Those who didn’t have time to jump quickly turned back and looked at the ferocious woman fawningly. “Captain, you’re up? You woke up early enough.”
“Captain, what would you like to eat this morning? Let me get it for you.”
“Get the h.e.l.l out of here. Go prepare the resources. This time, our target is Yu City.”
Buzz buzz buzz!
Everyone trembled, and someone grinned ferociously. “Hahaha, are we finally going to Yu City? d.a.m.n, we’ve been waiting for this day for a long time!”
Many people craned their heads out of the sea. “We’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. Hey, big clans in Yu City, wait and see.”
Someone said with a ferocious gleam in his eyes, “F*ck! Let’s destroy Ximen first, then slaughter Dongfang, and then kill Sunyang…”
These people were picked up by Han Fei and Ximen Linglan in the outer sea or the deep sea. Yes, they were picked up.
They all had a certain level of strength, but they were forced by the big clans to leave their hometowns in a desperate attempt to enter the deep sea to search for opportunities. They were all outlaws who were eager to conquer Yu City and kill their enemies.
Of course, the result always contradicted their thoughts.
The deep sea was too dangerous!
Too many guys like them had died. After encountering Han Fei and Ximen Linglan by chance, they finally found an organization and joined the Avenger.
After all these years of fighting in the sea, these people were all villains. Even the weakest was an intermediate law enforcer and they had long wanted to kill their way back to Yu City.
However, they also knew that Law Enforcers couldn’t cause any waves in Yu City. Only Explorers could do that! However, on the current Avenger, the only Explorer was the captain of the Avenger, Ximen Linglan.
The other person who these people admired the most and treated with sincerity was Han Fei. Han Fei always gave them the feeling that he was ridiculously powerful.
Han Fei was only an intermediate peak-level law enforcer, but it was as easy as pie for him to tear apart a peak-level law enforcer. They once suspected that with Han Fei’s strength, even an Explorer might not be able to beat him.
After driving away these crew members, Ximen Linglan smiled sweetly at Han Fei. “Idiot, it’s time for dinner. I made you fish soup.”
“Hehe!”
Han Fei threw away the starfish in his hand and with a swish, appeared in front of Ximen Linglan.
In the cabin, Ximen Linglan gave Han Fei a basin of fish soup.
She had long been used to the way they used to live in the Remote Desolate Forest where they ate a lot and only ate high-level creatures. They were very nutritious, and over time eating them was good for their health.
“Suck!”
“Suck!”
Han Fei swallowed, but Ximen Linglan didn’t eat it. Holding her chin, she looked at Han Fei. “Idiot, don’t you want to ask me why I’m going back?”
Han Fei grinned and shook his head slightly.
Ximen Linglan pouted. “You’ve always been like this. You don’t ask and always listen to me. Sometimes, I don’t know how to choose. You can’t hold on much longer, right?”
“Suck!”
Han Fei scratched his head and tilted his head to look at Ximen Linglan. “Yes!”
Ximen Linglan sighed. “I don’t know why the Beast King doesn’t allow you to cultivate. But he must have his reasons. You reached the third level of that strange body tempering technique eight years ago. Recently, when you sleep, there will be energy escaping from your body. Is the fourth level about to be broken too?”
Han Fei shook his head with a foolish smile. “I don’t know.”
Ximen Linglan curled her lips. “I don’t know why, but when going to sea with you, I always feel that I’m very lucky. I can even encounter three corpses of Venerable-level sea monsters. I believe that you are a person with great luck. Therefore, I think it’s time to go back.”
Han Fei looked at Ximen Linglan. “Eat.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll eat it.”
As they ate, Ximen Linglan suddenly said naughtily, “Idiot, I guess there’s a high chance that we can take revenge by half. After all, we can’t defeat Venerables. However, we can take revenge by half first. After we take revenge, let’s go back to the Grand Myriad Mountains, okay?”
Han Fei’s eyes glittered. “Okay!”
Ximen Linglan smiled. “I want to go back too. Although the Beast King and the others think I’m too weak, I still like it there and the life there. Should we give them some gifts? Well… Let’s bring a lot of seasonings back, okay?”
Han Fei: “Okay!”
“Idiot, after we take revenge, let’s go back to the Grand Myriad Mountains and have a baby, OK?”
Han Fei was stunned for a moment and scratched his head. “A baby? Which family can give us a baby?”
Ximen Linglan blushed. “I mean, let’s have a baby together.”
Han Fei said, “Even if we ask for it together, they won’t give it to us!”
Ximen Linglan was speechless for a moment. “Forget it. A child who comes like this must be an idiot too.”
…
For 18 years, neither humans nor the Grand Myriad Mountains gave up looking for the thing that could save the world.
It was also 18 years later, the culprit of the Ximen family’s tragedy was never found.
On the contrary, half of the Law Enforcers of the Ximen family died in that battle, which could be said to be a heavy loss. Later, they fought several big clans and lost another dozen people.
Fortunately, the Ximen family had a large family business, and these years they had also raised a group of newcomers. As for the matter at the beginning, gradually no one talked about it again.
On this day, the wind was gentle and the sun was s.h.i.+ning, and the clouds were rolling in the sky.
The offsh.o.r.e waters had already become the trial field of Yu City.
Within ten thousand kilometers, it was no longer the outer sea.
No matter how deep they went, there were still big s.h.i.+ps rampaging.
Although the sea race had retreated, the sea demons were still rampant. Occasionally, there were even creatures at the Explorer level who would shuttle in the sea area of about 50,000 kilometers.
It could also mean that the sea clan hadn’t abandoned Yu City and the Grand Myriad Mountains. Therefore, those Explorer-level creatures had actually come with a purpose.
But on this day, what came was not sea creatures.
A big s.h.i.+p came from the depths of the sea.
Although the big s.h.i.+p was dilapidated, it was as black as ink. The most conspicuous thing was the big flag hanging high above the mast, on which there was a double-bladed skeleton as if laughing at the world.
Looking at the big sails, the lines on the sails were weird, and the weird patterns were engraved on them. On the hull and even every deck, there were such patterns.
This was the place where Han Fei painted when he had nothing to do in the past 18 years. He had painted on the entire s.h.i.+p and even the cabin.
Regarding Han Fei, Ximen Linglan had always let him do whatever he wanted.
The moment she became an Explorer, a lightning tribulation fell from the sky, and this big s.h.i.+p, the Avenger, with its dense array patterns, helped her block nearly 60% of the tribulation.
Only at that moment did Ximen Linglan know how terrifying this s.h.i.+p had been carved by Han Fei!
It was precisely because of that lightning tribulation that this s.h.i.+p became so ragged.
But there were also benefits!
After being struck by the lightning tribulation, the s.h.i.+p seemed to come to life. All the s.h.i.+p wood turned into lightning strike wood, and its quality was improved by several levels.
The human race patrolled the outer waters to prevent accidents. Most of them were from the big clans in Yu City because ordinary people didn’t have that ability.
The reason why the big clans did this was to protect their own interests.
After all, without the lowest level, what could they rule? Besides, the structure of the strong was a pyramid.
The strong masters were selected from billions of people! Therefore, this foundation must not be broken.
Ximen Linglan stepped on the bow of the s.h.i.+p, and suddenly heard a voice in the void, “Who are you? Are you from the Black Stone City?”
Ignoring this person, Ximen Linglan said via voice transmission, “Keep moving.”
After a while, a thousand-meter-long s.h.i.+p appeared with two escort s.h.i.+ps. In the void, an explorer blocked the way. “Everyone, what do you mean?”
Ximen Linglan didn’t answer but turned her head to look behind her. “Does anyone know him?”
More than 20 people flew into the air. One of them, a brawny man, grinned and said, “Hey, who is it? Isn’t this Dongfang Yu, the seventh master of the Dongfang family in Yu City? Oh, why did the seventh master come here?”
Dongfang Yu’s pupils constricted slightly. “Jia Wuxing, you’re still alive?”
The man laughed out loud. “Thanks to the Dongfang family, I’m not dead. Not only am I not dead, but I have obtained an opportunity to become a peak-level law enforcer, Dongfang Yu, are you the only one patrolling the area?”
Dongfang Yu narrowed his eyes. The opponent’s lineup is so strong! An Explorer, 21 law enforcers. Among them, there are only 3 intermediate law enforcers and 12 peak-level law enforcers.
If there was only one Explorer and 21 advanced law enforcers here, Dongfang Yu wouldn’t find it strange. After all, any big clan could mobilize such a lineup.
However, taking out 12 peak-level law enforcers at the same time was equivalent to all the peak-level law enforcers of an entire family. In a sense, the people on this s.h.i.+p could become a mid-sized faction in Yu City.
Dongfang Yu frowned. “So, are you here for revenge?”
On the big s.h.i.+p and two guard boats in the distance, law enforcers emerged one after another. Among them, there were four peak-level law enforcers, seven advanced law enforcers, eleven intermediate law enforcers, and nearly 30 junior law enforcers.
The people on patrol were all very strong.
Otherwise, if they encountered a strong master, wouldn’t they be unable to deal with him? With Dongfang Yu’s lineup, coupled with the hull array, they could even resist an advanced Explorer for a while.
However, there was no need for that now. The patrolling people were a mixed team made up of members of different big families in Yu City. At the same time, there were at least four or five patrolling teams like Dongfang Yu’s in the sea outside Yu City.
Dongfang Yu smiled coldly. “You think a junior peak-level Explorer and twelve peak-level law enforcers can take revenge? The leading woman, are you also my enemy?”
Ximen Linglan’s eyes were cold, and she didn’t answer his question, but said lightly, “Jia Wuxing, is this person guilty?”
Jia Wuxing grinned ferociously. “Of course. When my Jia family forged an ultra-quality Divine weapon and was about to soar, it was this Dongfang family who killed all 17 members of my Jia family. I was the only one who escaped. Hey, Dongfang Yu, you were there, weren’t you?”
Dong Fangyu sneered. “A good weapon depends on who uses it. A man’s wealth is his own ruin. Don’t you understand that?”
Jia Wuxing shrugged. “Captain, look, he admitted it without even retorting.”
Ximen Linglan raised her eyes and looked at Dongfang Yu. “Kill!”
Swish swish swis.h.!.+
The Avenger began to charge, but no one got off the boat. Instead, it crashed into the other party’s big s.h.i.+p.
Dong Fangyu’s eyes turned cold. Who the f*ck is this woman? How can you just directly attack us? Aren’t the big clans usually cautious? Don’t you know that as an Explorer yourself?
Dongfang Yu roared, “Go to h.e.l.l! Attack!”
In an instant, the sky was full of contractual spiritual beasts, and all kinds of brilliance descended, almost enveloping the Avenger.
However, Dongfang Yu clearly felt that there was one person missing on the Avenger. He was puzzled. Why were there only two of the three intermediate law enforcers left?
“Pfft!”
Boom!
Almost at the same time they summoned their spiritual beasts, one of the peak-level law enforcers was suddenly alarmed and felt that there was danger. With a thought, his armor appeared.
But at some point, a hand had stabbed into his chest. A terrifying energy burst out, and the peak-level law enforcer died instantly.
Not only that, another peak-level law enforcer had just fused with his armor and summoned a spiritual plant. A big stick slashed down, and the shadow of the stick was like a knife, s.h.i.+ning brightly. She died before she could use her law power.
Dongfang Yu’s reaction was already extremely fast. He had no time to think about why an intermediate law enforcer was so strong. Rescuing his team members was more important.
However, before he arrived, the void trembled, and Han Fei’s figure had already disappeared.
This time, his target was a spirit gatherer. This spirit gatherer had already realized his situation. Immediately, he opened a fish skin map, which was a defensive array he had long prepared.
But then, the void flashed, and he discovered, to his shock, that Han Fei had pa.s.sed the defense array and appeared directly in front of him.
With a single blow, the spirit gatherer who was a peak-level law enforcer died.
At this moment, Dong Fangyu panicked. Are you f*cking telling me that he’s only an intermediate law enforcer?
Dongfang Yu was halfway through his attack when two Soul-Attracting Knives were slashed apart. Above the knife light, there were all kinds of creepy shadows and faces, and a terrifying and evil aura enveloped the area, which seemed to be inauspicious.
Ximen Linglan’s indifferent voice sounded, “Your opponent is me.”
After both Ximen Linglan and Han Fei took action, the 12 peak-level law enforcers on the Avenger attacked at the same time, their bodies full of murderous intent.
The remaining people on the s.h.i.+p hadn’t left, but they were also clamoring. “An intermediate Explorer wants to stop us? In your dream.”
“Roar!”
With a roar, a hundred beasts descended. The peak-level law enforcer armorist who was about to escape suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, and the secret technique on his body was broken. In the next moment, the hammer shadow fell from the sky.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The power of three hammers directly killed him.
“Alright!”
“Marshal Han is awesome.”
“Haha, you want to run away under Marshal Han’s hands? What are you thinking?”
Although Han Fei was only an intermediate peak-level law enforcer at this moment, and the effects of the secret technique had been greatly reduced, his power after using the secret technique still exceeded 50 waves, which was comparable to a peak-level law enforcer of the top Heavenly Talent level.
That was not all. After gaining power, Han Fei also had unparalleled speed.
If Han Fei’s consciousness was clear, he would definitely know that the two special techniques mastered by the Ye family in the Thousand Star City were nothing more than the Heavenly Void Divine Movement and the Star Teleportation Technique, which were from the Sky Clan.
However, at this moment, Han Fei’s speed had already surpa.s.sed that of the Ye family people. He not only had these two techniques, but also had the Phantom Gla.s.s Wings and secret techniques.
In this way, Han Fei killed five peak-level Law Enforcers almost in an instant. In the end, the person only had time to escape back to the s.h.i.+p. But for the Star Teleportation Technique, unless the high-level sealing array locked down even s.p.a.ce, it was impossible to stop Han Fei.
Then, a scene that shocked the patrolling powerhouses appeared.
Han Fei flashed like a shadow and appeared directly in the array of boats. With a roar, he killed a peak-level law enforcer, and the fear in everyone’s heart spread.
All the peak-level Law Enforcers had died, and Han Fei didn’t touch the others at all, leaving all of them to the scoundrels on the Avenger.
Dong Fangyu intended to tear open s.p.a.ce and escape, because these people were really powerful. If someone had told him before that an intermediate law enforcer could kill five peak-level law enforcers in three seconds, he wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death.
But now, he saw it with his own eyes.
With such strength and speed, he might even be able to fight an Explorer.
However, Dongfang Yu couldn’t escape because the woman with the weird scimitars was equally terrifying. There seemed to be infinite resentment souls on her double knives that went straight to his soul.
Not only that, the woman’s speed was extremely fast, even far faster than his. Besides, what the h.e.l.l was her spiritual beast?
Dong Fangyu couldn’t see Ximen Linglan’s spiritual beast at all, only a black fog. In the fog, there were scarlet eyes. He had never heard of such a spiritual beast.
Puff, puff, puff!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
They collided more than a thousand times in the void, and Dongfang Yu opened a void rift several times, but he couldn’t escape at all. Instead, every time he tried to escape through the void, he would be stabbed.
Dongfang Yu roared. He saw the young man with glazed eyes standing proudly in the air. Although he didn’t attack, he felt a strong sense of threat from the young man.
Dong Fangyu gritted his teeth and summoned a jade conch phantom. “Who are you exactly?”
In the void, their speed was getting faster and faster, so fast that Dong Fangyu couldn’t even react.
Ximen Linglan’s voice echoed, “Who are we? We are a group of avengers. My name is Ximen Linglan.”
Dong Fangyu’s body trembled. This name sounds too familiar. Back then, when a lot of people tried to kill the people of the Ximen family, they all left the name Ximen Linglan.
Son of a b * tch, the real Ximen Linglan is back now, and she is so strong.
On Dongfang Yu’s jade conch, black gas was surging.
He discovered, to his shock, that his soul couldn’t resist the erosion of the strange power. If this went on, he would die.
“Ha, the jade door is locked.”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Doors appeared one after another, trying to lock Ximen Linglan in.
“Roar!”
However, before Dong Fangyu could do that, he saw a huge ape above the sea, more than 30 meters tall, holding a big rod and smas.h.i.+ng down.
“Roar!”
With that roar, the phantom of a hundred beasts appeared, and their feet stepped on the void, making Dongfang Yu’s soul pause.
Han Fei, who had used the Beast King Technique, had doubled his strength, which far exceeded the strength of a peak-level law enforcer. His shocking stick smashed through one of the gates.
“What? An Explorer-level power… Is this a secret method of the beast race?”
“Soul Slas.h.!.+”
Ximen Linglan’s double knives shot out like dark moons and stabbed into Dongfang Yu’s body.
Ka ka ka!
At that moment, the jade doors shattered, and furious waves surged.
On the Avenger, everyone sighed.
Every time they saw Han Fei transform, they were horrified. He was too strong. They had never seen an intermediate law enforcer hammer an Explorer, but now it had really happened.
Although Han Fei’s strength was only at the level of an Explorer after he used the Beast King Technique, he could still use the Hundred Beast Soul Subduing Roar to restrict Dongfang Yu.
Of course, if it was an advanced Explorer, it would be another situation.
But now, it was enough.
After Ximen Linglan’s attack succeeded, Dongfang Yu felt as if his soul was being bitten by ten thousand souls, and his combat power suddenly plummeted.
The battle between the strong only lasted for a moment. When Dongfang Yu noticed what happened, two scimitars had pa.s.sed through his body like wheels, and Han Fei’s Monkey King’s Three Thousand Sticks smashed down frantically.
Clang, Clang, Clang. After only a hundred seconds, Dongfang Yu died.
