Chapter 194

Ripples appeared on the sea surface below him.

Immediately after, several agile figures wearing black tight-fitting water suits, their faces covered with masks, revealing only cold eyes, emerged from the sea like ghosts, silently!

An aura of toughness and bloody killing intent radiated from them!

Clearly, they were well-trained, battle-hardened death soldiers!

They were the first batch of scouts sent by the Northern Liang Prince’s Mansion to secretly rescue the heir Xu Fengnian!

Xu Fengnian saw these familiar figures, as well as the unique Northern Liang markings on them.

A light of unspeakable excitement and hope instantly erupted in his eyes, which had originally become somewhat unfocused!

He knew his father had sent people to save him!

He was saved!

However, just as those Northern Liang death soldiers were about to climb onto the reef to rescue Xu Fengnian.

A sound of charming yet lazy and mocking laughter suddenly rang out quietly from the void not far away:

"Giggle... a few friends from Northern Liang, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"My master hasn't agreed to let anyone go yet!"

Before the words had even faded!

A stunningly beautiful girl in black tight-fitting clothes, with a seductive figure, appearing like an elf of the night, appeared silently on the reef.

She held a peculiar curved blade shaped like a new moon in her hand, a playful smile on her face, looking smilingly at the Northern Liang death soldiers whose faces had changed drastically.

It was Wan Wan, the Saintess of the Yin Gui Sect, who had been ordered by Ning Chuan to guard this place!

"Who are you?! How dare you block the business of the Northern Liang Prince’s Mansion?!" the leader of the Northern Liang death soldiers shouted sharply.

Upon hearing this, Wan Wan giggled, her figure swayed, and like a ghost, she instantly rushed into the midst of those death soldiers!

The Heavenly Demon Great Method was unleashed, combined with her bizarre and unpredictable movement techniques and the sharp Heavenly Demon Twin Blades in her hands!

Only a series of shrill screams were heard!

A moment later, those Northern Liang death soldiers, who possessed strength comparable to first-class experts, were all killed on the spot!

Blood stained the reef and the surrounding seawater.

Wan Wan looked at the cold corpses at her feet, a disdainful smile on her face.

She walked up to Xu Fengnian, who was already scared witless, and extended her snow-white finger, gently lifting his chin.

She smiled charmingly, her voice like a demon’s whisper:

"Go back and tell your Prince, don't send such small fry to die."

"My master said, if you want to save him, have him come in person with the Northern Liang army!"

Having said this, the Heavenly Demon Twin Blades in her hand flashed with cold light!

"Ah—!!!"

Xu Fengnian let out a shrill scream!

His right arm was actually cut off at the shoulder by Wan Wan!

Blood gushed out like a fountain!

Afterward.

Wan Wan soon returned to Taohuadao and reported this matter to Ning Chuan.

At the same time, she also brought another more important piece of news:

"Reporting to Master, according to information sent back by spies planted in the North by my Yin Gui Sect."

"The Northern Liang Prince’s Mansion has already gathered twenty thousand Northern Liang elites and is traveling at full speed toward the East Sea on hundreds of giant warships!"

"They will arrive at the Taohuadao sea area in at most three days!"

Upon hearing this, there was no ripple in Ning Chuan’s pale golden dragon eyes.

He just nodded calmly and said: "Very good."

He could clearly feel the dark black Jiao Dan in his dantian and the demonic power contained within it.

After this period of tempering and accumulation, it had reached a critical point of perfection!

That vast power was already becoming difficult to suppress!

It could trigger the second heavenly tribulation—the Transformation Tribulation—at any moment!

"Just in time." Ning Chuan sneered in his heart.

"Just right, let you so-called Northern Liang iron cavalry come and properly experience the terror of the heavenly tribulation!"

Wan Wan looked at Ning Chuan’s calm and composed appearance, as if everything was under his control.

The awe for her master deepened in her heart.

She knew that a world-shaking battle, enough to shock the entire world, was about to begin!

……

Three days later.

Deep in the East Sea.

A massive fleet, covering the sky and the sun, appeared on the horizon.

Giant warships, like moving fortresses, rode the wind and waves, pushing aside ten thousand giant waves, and slowly approached Taohuadao.

A full twenty thousand Northern Liang elites, clad in heavy armor, holding sharp blades, and filled with murderous aura, were neatly lined up on the decks of the warships!

The iron-blooded killing aura radiating from them gathered together, shooting straight into the sky, dyeing the clouds in the sky a faint blood color!

On the bows of the ships were mounted giant heavy bows and crossbows flashing with metallic cold light!

The arrowheads of those crossbow bolts were engraved with special armor-breaking runes, clearly designed to deal with martial arts experts, capable of easily tearing through the protective true qi and gang energy of grandmaster experts!

On the giant flagship leading the way...

The six adopted sons of the Northern Liang Prince’s Mansion stood side by side, their expressions cold and stern, their eyes filled with monstrous anger and killing intent!

They had already learned of the failed rescue and the news that heir Xu Fengnian had had an arm cut off!

This made the anger in their hearts reach a critical point of eruption!

"Big Brother! That demon dragon is so arrogant, simply not putting our Northern Liang Prince’s Mansion in his eyes!"

"Let’s strike directly, flatten Taohuadao, tear that demon dragon into ten thousand pieces, and avenge the heir!"

Chu Chu Lushan, with the most explosive temper, roared angrily.

"Do not be impulsive!" Mongol Yuan Mongol Yuan Zuozong said in a deep voice; he had always been steady.

"That demon dragon’s strength is unfathomable; even the Spear Saint Mr. Xu fell into its hands, we must not be careless."

After some dispute among the group.

Finally, it was Chen Chen Zhibao, the "White-Clothed Soldier Immortal," who had the highest cultivation and was the calmest, who made the final decision:

"Strike directly!"

His cold voice carried no emotion.

"That demon dragon deliberately cut off the heir’s arm and then released word for us to send a large army."

"Its purpose is self-evident!"

"Its target was never the heir, but... our twenty thousand Northern Liang elites!"

"It wants to use us to establish its prestige before the entire world!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

This Jiao Long’s ambition and tyranny were even greater than they had imagined!

"Since that is the case, then we shall grant its wish!" A cold killing intent flashed in Chen Chen Zhibao’s eyes.

"I want to see how a small evil dragon can withstand the charge of our twenty thousand Northern Liang iron cavalry!"

"Pass my military order! The entire army advances at full speed! Target, Taohuadao!"

"Today, let this East Sea be dyed with the color of our Northern Liang!"

Following Chen Chen Zhibao’s order!

The massive fleet no longer had any cover or concealment!

The terrifying murderous aura of the twenty thousand-strong army rose to the sky like a tangible blood-colored wolf smoke, stirring the wind and clouds!

Crushing toward Taohuadao!

On the distant sea surface.

Some Jianghu guests who had received the news long ago and wanted to witness this world-shaking battle.

After feeling the terrifying murderous aura that came sweeping over, enough to make any grandmaster expert change color,

were all horrified and retreated in their boats, not daring to get close at all!
