HPDBC Chapter 203: The One Who Comes to Kill You
Chapter 203: The One Who Comes to Kill You
The battle commenced the moment the two strong fighters engaged.
Lv Xiangyang brought no few men, with dozens at the Grandmaster Level alone and as many as nine at the Huajin Grandmaster Level. But with just these people, swallowing up an entire force of Eastern Border warriors was clearly impossible.
"Your Majesty, shall we make our move?" Xiao Chuanqi transmitted his voice.@@@@
"Let’s wait and see."
"East Pole Island claims to have five great island lords, yet only one has shown up. What, do you think, are the others doing?" Ye Feng asked while covering for Hong Qingyan as they retreated behind a group of privileged young men. This battle was very fishy.
To outsiders, the two combatants in the sea seemed to be exchanging masterful and lethal moves. But to Ye Feng, they appeared to be putting on an over-acted show, not even a genuine probing, when battles between Martial Kings could end in a blink. Dozens of exchanges and not a scratch on either of them?
Did they take everyone for fools?
Furthermore, the other experts from the Sky Eagle Sect had yet to show themselves, nor the remaining island lords of East Pole Island; even the Personal Guard Unit of the Old Eastern King and the followers of Muu Tianye were nowhere to be seen. Given the Old Eastern King’s fear of death, Ye Feng firmly didn’t believe the old fellow had not arranged some backup.
"Kill!"
"Those who disturb the peace of the Eastern Border, who bring chaos to the soil of Xuanyuan Nation, shall be slain without mercy. There is no need for captives in this battle; those who slay the enemy will be richly rewarded upon return," the Eastern King bellowed.
In a certain moment, Ye Feng even felt as if the once formidable Old Eastern King had returned, only to then tail behind him like a thief.
He wasn’t foolish; if he couldn’t detect anything amiss after such a lengthy, injury-free melee at sea, his head would have long been hung at the Ghost Gate Pass.
"Tell me, Old Eastern King, as a general, is it appropriate for you to flee the battlefield like this?"
Seeing the Old Eastern King sticking close behind him, Ye Feng was utterly speechless; the old man was blatantly exposing their position by following so closely.
Old b*tch!
"No worries, it’s victory that counts on the battlefield. Such a small number wouldn’t even get stuck in their teeth."
Indeed, mighty rewards breed valorous warriors.
The one-sided nature of the battle on the ship was clear, with a group of Eastern Border warriors charged up as if injected with chicken blood, yelling as they rushed at the thugs from East Pole Island, with one or two occasionally falling under the chaotic swords.
"Stop hurting my brother, you thieves!"
Just as the battle on the ship neared its end, another person rushed to the sea to encircle and attack Lv Xiangyang with Lie Tianying.
"Victory to the Eastern Border!"
"The Sky Eagle Sect is valiant!"
"Both Sect Leaders are truly models for our kind!"
...
With the addition of Sky Splitting Tyran’s forces, the situation suddenly changed. Lv Xiangyang was repeatedly knocked into the water by the two attackers and sustained multiple injuries.
Seeing this, the Eastern Border warriors, led by the Lord of Coastal Ridge, began cheering, and under intentional encouragement, others who didn’t understand the situation also joined in the cheers.
This was exactly what the Lord of Coastal Ridge, Su Kesu, wanted to see. In fact, his real name wasn’t Su Kesu; it was Lie Keming, the biological son of the Sky Eagle Sect Leader. Otherwise, how could someone of his status as Lord of Coastal Ridge provoke the constant protective presence of the two great protectors of the Sky Eagle Sect?
"Despicable!"
"Sky Eagle Sect, I, the One-Eyed, will remember this."
After yet another submersion, the injured Lv Xiangyang turned to make a desperate escape.
"Where do you think you’re going, you thief?"
"Hahaha! King of the Eastern Border, my brother and I will destroy that pathetic East Pole Island. Don’t forget our agreement."
With that, a gang of Sky Eagle Sect’s experts leapt out of the cabin one after another and pursued in the direction of the two.
"I think your Sky Eagle Sect must be having a tough time developing on that piece of land in the Eastern Border. Rather than being constrained by others, it would be better to come to my East Pole Island and live boldly and happily. Strong people should have their own stance."
Lv Xiangyang laughed wildly.
At this moment, three people had already walked out of the forest.
Who are these?
Island Ronin!
Their loose, dark brown samurai robes were unmistakably the attire of Ronin from the Fusang Island Nation. Seeing the three approaching, Sky Splitting Tyrant’s face turned ashen. The weakest among them, a man in a suit, also possessed the strength of a Primary Martial King.
But more importantly, it was the two Fusang Ronin that caused Sky Splitting Tyrant’s heart to tingle with fear. Even the weakest one among them was stronger than him, and the strength of the other one was inscrutable.
"Mountain Wilderness Lord!"
"Lord of the Water Source!"
As the two Ronin approached, Lv Xiangyang bowed with exaggerated respect.
"Brother Xiangyang, there’s no need for such formality."
"These two must be the esteemed leaders of the Sky Eagle Sect that you mentioned to us before. Truly remarkable. Friends, may we have the honor of inviting the two of you to join our East Pole Island?"
The Ronin named Mountain Wilderness Lord bowed slightly.
"Big brother, what should we do?"
Lie Tianba sent a message in a panic, inwardly anxious. They had set a trap for Ye Feng, but now they were the ones caught in it.
"Go along with it."
"Let’s play along with them for now. This East Pole Island is quite nice. When we have a chance to get away, we can ask our master to come out of seclusion. By then, East Pole Island will be in our pockets."
One must admit, Sky Splitting Tyrant had a full plan in his heart.
"As Ronin from Fusang, I wonder if my brother and I join East Pole Island, and if our actions are exposed one day, attracting the pursuit of strong pursuers from Xuanyuan Nation, could we count on protection?"
Sky Splitting Tyrant asked intently.
By now, if he still couldn’t see that East Pole Island was a force supported by overseas Ronin, he would have been unworthy of being the leader of a sect. Enjoy exclusive chapters from novelhall.Côm
"Of course, by joining East Pole Island you two will be guest elders of the entire Ronin Guild. I forgot to introduce myself; I’m the vice-chairman of the Ronin Guild, Yamano Okawa. This is Shuiyuan Longzhi, and we both are honorary island masters of East Pole Island."
Yamano Okawa and Shuiyuan Longzhi exchanged a knowing smile.
"Interesting!"
"The worm that squirms has not died yet. Twenty years ago, you Fusang Ronin were chased away in a humiliating defeat, and yet you’ve managed to make a comeback so quickly by forming a guild."
A figure emerged leisurely from the woods; it was Ye Feng.
In fact, earlier than Lv Xiangyang and the others, he had already reached East Pole Island. However, Ye Feng wanted to wait and see whether the three would start fighting amongst themselves, allowing him to take advantage of the situation. Instead, he witnessed this dramatic scene unfolding.
"Who are you?"
Yamano Okawa looked coldly at Ye Feng, his hand lightly gripping the hilt of his sword.
"Don’t ask who I am. The answer is, I’m here to kill you."
Ye Feng’s demeanor was arrogant, with a cruel smile on his lips.
After so many days, he had finally caught someone who could be considered an adversary. To be frank, Ye Feng couldn’t wait to test out his true combat strength at this moment.
In other words, he was brimming with energy and looking to vent it on someone.
