Chapter 876: The Strength of the Sea Dragon Gang!
“Don’t forget, we’re in the same boat now. If the Sea Dragon Gang comes looking for you, do you think they will spare you?” the girl said calmly to Su Yi.
Su Yi was momentarily stunned. No wonder she had destroyed that boat—it was all part of her plan.
“Oh, women…”Su Yi sighed inwardly. Women were indeed scheming. If the Sea Dragon Gang caught up, they wouldn’t just go after her—he would be in trouble too.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll throw you overboard right now?” Su Yi asked, his gaze sharp.
The girl met his eyes with a faint smile. “If you wanted to kill me, why save me? Don’t worry, once we reach the shore, I’ll honor my promise and reward you well.”
Su Yi’s eye twitched slightly. This girl was young, yet far from ordinary. She had a captivating presence that was hard to ignore.
“Swoosh…”Energy surged beneath Su Yi’s feet as he maneuvered the boat. He had to leave quickly. Some members of the Sea Dragon Gang had been eliminated, but others might come searching for them. If that happened, things wouldn’t be as simple as before.
“Who are you? Why is the Sea Dragon Gang after you?”Su Yi feigned ignorance, testing her honesty.
“I am from the Mysterious Sword Gate. My father is its leader. The Sea Dragon Gang is only a fourth-rate power in the Divine Dragon Sea Area, yet they dare to challenge us. Someone must be backing them. News of my solo journey was leaked, and they kidnapped me. Fortunately, I had a few tricks up my sleeve and managed to escape. You already know what happened after that.”
Her eyes flashed with determination as she spoke.
From her words and what the Sea Dragon Gang disciples had said, Su Yi deduced that she wasn’t lying. It all added up.
“My name is Ji Hanluo. Now that you know who I am, you saved me, so I won’t mistreat you when the time comes.”Ji Hanluo’s confidence was evident. With her status and the Mysterious Sword Gate’s power, her promise carried weight.
“I want to know who the strongest in the Sea Dragon Gang is and what level their cultivation has reached.”Su Yi asked. Since they were chasing Ji Hanluo, he needed to gauge the danger.
Ji Hanluo seemed surprised at his lack of reaction to her background but still answered, “The strongest should be the leader, Meng Xianglong. His exact cultivation is unclear, but he should be at the Yuan Emperor Realm. The deputy leader, Qin Jian, is at the Yuan Void Realm, not far from the Yuan Emperor Realm. This time, Qin Jian himself is leading the pursuit.”
“Qin Jian is close to the Yuan Emperor Realm…”Su Yi frowned inwardly. Normally, with the Green Emperor and Lifetaken Yama Xi Wuqing at his side, he wouldn’t worry. But now, things were tricky. Avoiding confrontation was best.
Seeing his serious expression, Ji Hanluo assumed he was afraid and reassured him, “Don’t worry. Once we reach land, we’ll be in Mysterious Sword Gate territory. The Sea Dragon Gang is nothing compared to us. They will pay for this!”
“Hmm.”Su Yi simply nodded, focused on avoiding trouble. He channeled more energy into his movements, accelerating the boat toward the shore.
“What’s your name, and how did you end up alone out here?”Ji Hanluo was curious. He was young yet strong enough to kill Sea Dragon Gang members. His energy fluctuations suggested a solid cultivation, but he didn’t seem to have a prominent background. His knowledge was limited, and the nearest shore was far away. He couldn’t have simply arrived by boat. How did he end up here?
“Su Yi.”He hesitated before giving a brief response.
Seeing he had no intention of elaborating, Ji Hanluo sighed and spoke again, “I am seriously injured. I need to recover.”
Without waiting for Su Yi’s approval, she sat cross-legged on the boat and began channeling her energy to heal, unconcerned about his reaction.
Su Yi was helpless. Although his vitality had taken a toll, he had recovered somewhat. Ji Hanluo, however, was in worse condition.
“Whoosh…”Su Yi channeled more energy, pushing the boat faster to avoid any encounters with the Sea Dragon Gang. The Green Emperor and Lifetaken Yama Xi Wuqing remained in the mysterious space, and he wasn’t sure if they had awakened. Facing a strong Yuan Void Realm expert would be difficult even in peak condition, let alone now.
The night breeze was cool, sweeping across the vast sea. A lone boat sailed through, leaving ripples in its wake.
As time passed, a faint green glow enveloped Ji Hanluo. Water elemental energy surrounded her, emanating from her skin. The sea around them reacted strangely, the water fluctuating as if drawn to her presence.
“Swoosh, swoosh!”In the distance, three small boats emerged, moving swiftly across the water.
“Look, it’s right ahead! Hurry!”Onboard the approaching boats, figures crowded together. Someone spotted Su Yi and Ji Hanluo’s vessel and shouted excitedly.
“Not good…”Su Yi had remained vigilant. Seeing the three boats rushing toward them, he immediately knew—it was the Sea Dragon Gang.
“Boom!”With a focused expression, Su Yi channeled his strength. The boat trembled as it surged forward with increased speed.
The commotion stirred Ji Hanluo from her meditation. Her half-closed eyes snapped open as she turned to look behind them.
“Oh no, it’s the Sea Dragon Gang. They’ve caught up!”Ji Hanluo’s pale face tensed. She stood up immediately. Though she had been healing for two hours, she had only regained a fraction of her strength. Her expression grew serious.
Su Yi pushed forward, but the three boats rapidly closed the distance, surrounding them.
“The Sea Dragon Gang holds the advantage on the water. Now we’re in trouble.”Ji Hanluo’s voice was grim as she turned to Su Yi.
“Stop, you can’t escape!””Surrender now!””Let’s see where you can run this time!”
The three small boats encircled them, filled with armed figures. Their weapons glinted menacingly, their auras radiating hostility.
