Chapter 68: First Etiquette Then Force (Part 2)

The coast wind whistled.

The sky full of water vapor was attracted by Guan Xihui, who had transformed into a shrimp head and green shell, and swarmed in.

Clear waves could be vaguely seen rippling in mid-air.

After those illusory blue waves submerged Guan Xihui, he seemed to have truly thrown himself into the sea.

He swam with his feet off the ground.

Seeing such an anomaly, Zhang Gui muttered in his mouth:

"Playing these fancy tricks, who are you trying to scare."

Unwilling to show weakness, his body turned into a golden body, and an arm grew under his ribs.

Steam evaporated from the pores all over his body, and heat flowed.

His body expanded into a three-zhang giant.

Using the ability of the "Vertical and Horizontal Finger Crossbow Master," three arms and fifteen fingers flicked and moved.

Countless compressed air bullets condensed from steam suddenly sprayed from his fingertips.

Shooting towards Guan Xihui.

Facing the near-saturation attack of steam bullets, Guan Xihui waved his hand in the illusory water waves to depict.

The surrounding ripples flowed vertically and horizontally along the lines he depicted, outlining a headless giant shrimp.

It merged with Guan Xihui's body.

At this time, the finger crossbow shot by Zhang Gui had arrived.

It exploded after hitting Guan Xihui's half-virtual, half-real shrimp body.

The splashing steam instantly enveloped the giant shrimp, which was over ten zhang long from head to tail.

In the fog, the shrimp shell made a "pop pop..." crisp sound, shaking people's hearts and livers.

Guan Xihui had once easily killed Zhang Qiku, a Vertical and Horizontal Sword Master who had cultivated to the "Bing Middle," or Sixth Rank, of the Pingyang Zhang Family.

His transcendent level was at least Bing grade.

It was a world of difference from Zhang Gui's "Ding."

Being densely attacked by steam bullets, he only looked embarrassed, but he didn't actually suffer any minor injuries.

Shrimp have no wings, but when they jump with their bodies arched, they are as fast as lightning.

The water-traveling giant shrimp transformed by Guan Xihui broke through the thick steam fog, opened its giant mouth with nail teeth, and bit fiercely at Zhang Gui.

His reputation for cutting boats and breaking ships landed on the three-zhang giant, which was just right.

One bite, two halves.

But the body of Zhang Gui's three-zhang giant looked clumsy, but it was actually as fast as a rabbit.

Although he didn't retreat and dodge in time, in the blink of an eye of life and death, he used the newly grown arm under his ribs to grab a terrifying nail tooth as big as a tree in the giant shrimp mouth of the water-traveling giant shrimp, which was as big as a temple.

Feeling prey entering its mouth, Guan Xihui, whose eyes were stung by the steam, bit down subconsciously, biting off Zhang Gui's newly grown arm.

Zhang Gui also gained a chance to escape.

He leaped and opened the distance.

Although shrimp jump fast, it is a short-distance flight, and long-term pursuit is not necessarily very advantageous.

And although Zhang Gui was only a mere Ding-grade transcendent, he had eight major main divine clusters, and the connection between the three treasures of body, heart, and spirit was infinitely creative.

The "Lesser Divine Ability" primordial ability evolved from the chain, combined with Qi and blood, Gang Qi, and primordial spirit.

Stimulating the technique not only increased the power but also did not exhaust the strength.

Chasing each other, he played a kite-flying game with Guan Xihui like a cat chasing a mouse, or a hunter walking a big monster.

After comparing for a long time.

Zhang Gui discovered that actual combat is not the online game of his previous life.

In the case of a huge disparity in strength, it is almost impossible to win by "grinding blood."

So he had a flash of inspiration, not blocking Guan Xihui, but using the finger crossbow to find opportunities to attack others fiercely.

And this other person was the short-dressed young man with an extraordinary air.

Generally, the range of the finger crossbow of a Ninth-Rank "Vertical and Horizontal Finger Crossbow Master" is about five hundred paces.

And the farther the distance the finger crossbow shoots, the weaker the power.

But Zhang Gui's finger crossbow has the characteristic of being blessed by "Lesser Divine Ability," and no matter how far the range is, the power will not decay.

The short-dressed young man was ambushed by Zhang Gui and couldn't dodge in time, thanks to a fish-dragon talisman seal flashing on his forehead, which resolved the crisis.

He couldn't help but curse:

"What a grandson, it is rare in the world to be so bullying the soft and fearing the hard.

Deputy Chief Guan is hitting you, but you are ambushing me!

Do you really think I am weaker than you? Then you are very wrong!"

In a rage, he flew up and chased towards Zhang Gui.

Obviously, he wanted to flank Zhang Gui with Guan Xihui.

But before he jumped out ten zhang, Zhang Gui had found another opportunity, and the finger crossbow shot in a line.

The short-dressed young man was beaten left and right, but he was still hit a few times.

The exploded steam filled the air.

Looking from afar, the rising temperature actually caused the scenery within a radius of more than ten zhang to be slightly distorted and deformed.

If it weren't for the fish-dragon talisman seal on his forehead flashing repeatedly to protect his body, the short-dressed young man would probably have been scalded.

Guan Xihui's eyelids jumped, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart. Although he didn't stop the pursuit, he reminded angrily:

"Li San, why don't you dodge!

It's just chasing and killing a kid who is rampant after getting his way.

No matter how strong he is, he is only Ding grade.

You are Ding Superior, he can suppress you.

But without you, I will take his head sooner or later."

This sentence had no problems at all, but it made the short-dressed young man, who had always thought of himself as extraordinary, ashamed, angry, and helpless.

However, he was not a fool after all, and he didn't lose his mind even if he was angry.

He immediately followed Guan Xihui's instructions and rushed towards the barracks in the distance.

He also roared with a cheap mouth: "Hide in the house and see how you shoot me."

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

Zhang Gui's unique main divine cluster "Ember" was activated.

The steam that was originally filling the air evaporated instantly, turning the heat into bitter cold.

If it weren't for the fish talisman on the short-dressed young man's forehead flashing again to protect his body, he was afraid he would have turned into an ice sculpture.

Now he couldn't care about being happy, and the short-dressed young man gritted his teeth and accelerated his charge.

But he didn't expect that Zhang Gui didn't care about the industry of Zhihai Stockade anymore.

Whatever barracks, mills, shipyards, civilian houses, if they blocked the attack, he would shoot them down, and if they blocked the charge, he would destroy them!

Watching him, the golden-bodied giant, flashing and moving in mid-air, embodying the words "Vertical and Horizontal" to the fullest.

The old barracks he hit turned into rubble like paper shells, Guan Xihui couldn't help but stimulate his ten percent power and killed Zhang Gui without reservation.

And such a life-and-death game, dodging and attacking, also made Zhang Gui raise his twelve points of heart and strength to deal with it.

In Zhihai Stockade, smoke and fire rose everywhere.

Sometimes steam was noisy, sometimes frost was in the sky.

Sometimes there was a green shrimp ten zhang in size across the sky.

Sometimes there was a three-zhang golden-bodied giant, skimming the ground like a hummingbird.

Sometimes there was a young man in tattered clothes, covered by a light ball outside his body, fleeing in embarrassment.

After a quarter of an hour, Guan Xihui suddenly stopped, blocked in front of the nearly naked short-dressed young man, and said with fire in his eyes:

"Good, good, good!

Good ability, good skill, good bloodline, good luck, and even better eyesight!

Zhang Gui, oh Zhang Gui, today I played with birds all day but was pecked by a sparrow.

But we will meet again.

Since you have become the Governor of Zhihai Stockade..."

He was threatening there with a gun and a stick.

Zhang Gui couldn't care less because of the surging Gang Qi in his body.

The agitated breath brought by the first life-and-death struggle made the alveoli covered by the main divine cluster swell to the extreme.

It was originally difficult to vent such a large amount of Gang Qi steam by relying on the finger crossbow.

Now Guan Xihui suddenly turned from attack to defense, abruptly stopping Zhang Gui's tidal offensive.

Letting his lung Qi gradually force back.

Three main divine clusters, Swallow Crow, Drink River, and Water-Fire Harmony, simultaneously derived countless cluster hairs.

He couldn't help but slowly open his giant mouth, and the steam lingering around his body began to compress and introvert.

Guan Xihui, who was talking nonsense, suddenly felt the hair on his back stand up.

Looking carefully at Zhang Gui in the distance, his face changed drastically, and he closed his mouth.

Although he knew that with his own strength, even if the opponent turned the world upside down and used some secret technique, it would be ninety percent useless.

But sometimes, some dangers, let alone one percent, he didn't dare to take even half a percent!
