Chapter 148 Approaching

The sun rose beyond the horizon, and the stars gradually dimmed, as a ray of dawn pierced through the endless darkness.

On the sea in the early morning, the water vapor was heavy, and the morning light shone down, creating a dazzling display of sparkling waves.

"It's dawn!"

An Qisheng walked out of the cabin and saw Wang Zhixuan sitting cross-legged on the deck of the Hope, facing the rising sun.

The morning light sprinkled on her white clothes, making her look like a legendary cultivator, inhaling the purple energy of the dawn, exuding an indescribable transcendence and elegance.

"It's almost dawn. The Bamboo Dragon Society shouldn't show up, right?"

Having not slept all night, An Qisheng was still full of energy.

After several hours of practicing his fist techniques, his body's qi and blood were extremely active, ready to strike at any moment.

"Not necessarily."

Wang Zhixuan faced away from An Qisheng, her breath merging with the sea breeze:

"The Bamboo Dragon Society doesn't have the guts to make a move in my Xuanguo waters. They've been waiting for us to leave. Now that we've left Xuanguo waters, they must have already come after us."

"Waters..."

An Qisheng glanced at the endless ocean and shook his head.

At sea, although he wouldn't get completely lost, he had no idea where he was.

"Fighting on someone else's turf isn't a good idea."

After thinking about it, An Qisheng still felt a little reckless.

Naval warfare was different from land warfare. Leaving aside the outcome, once they were surrounded, they wouldn't even be able to escape on this vast ocean.

"Who said we were going to Fusang?"

Jiang Shili also walked out of the cabin at this time. Unlike An Qisheng, she had slept soundly all night:

"Fusang is full of perverts. If we really enter the Fusang Sea, who knows what we'll encounter? So, I made a feint."

"So..."

An Qisheng looked at her.

"So, you two should have gone to sleep earlier, instead of waiting all night. They're the ones chasing us, not us chasing them. We'll choose the battlefield, of course."

Jiang Shili flicked her long hair and winked:

"It only takes a day to get from Modu to Fusang, but we've been at sea for almost four days. We're just wearing down their patience.

Judging by the time, they'll have to make a move before noon today, otherwise, we'll arrive in Xin Country."

"They're here!"

Just as An Qisheng was about to speak, Wang Zhixuan suddenly spoke.

He looked up and saw several black dots gradually approaching from the distant sea.

"Perfect timing."

Jiang Shili's eyes lit up, and she immediately took out her communicator and ordered:

"They've caught up. Immediately go full speed ahead towards Xin Country."

Whoosh~ Whoosh~

Following Jiang Shili's instructions, the Hope cruise ship suddenly accelerated.

"Since you're going to Xin Country, why go around in such a big circle at sea?"

An Qisheng was a little puzzled.

It only took five hours to fly from Modu to Xin Country, so why go around at sea for four or five days?

"The Bamboo Dragon Society doesn't have that much power. If we went directly to Xin Country, they wouldn't be prepared at all, right?"

Jiang Shili put down the communicator and said indifferently:

"Four days is enough time for the Bamboo Dragon Society to mobilize a large number of experts. Killing everyone on those ships is enough to make that old thing Sakata Ryuichi suffer for a while.

Unfortunately, Sakata Ryuichi probably won't come."

"So, they never intended to fight at sea."

An Qisheng suddenly understood.

Although this Hope cruise ship was fully equipped, it was not equipped with weapons, but the Bamboo Dragon Society's ships might be.

If they really collided at sea, they couldn't expect the enemy to engage in close combat.

"Of course, he won't come."

Wang Zhixuan stood up and looked at the ships chasing after them in the sea:

"Gang Jin isn't a myth. He can't lock his energy anymore. If he can't kill me with one move, he'll be the one who dies."

"That old thing is really tough. He's one hundred and twenty years old, and he's still healthy. He's a real scourge that lives for a thousand years."

Speaking of Sakata Ryuichi, Jiang Shili's face was full of disgust:

"It is said that this old thing still has a child in his teens."

"He hasn't fought for decades. His qi and blood are like an old turtle hiding, so it's not surprising that he's lived so long."

Wang Zhixuan took out her phone and made a call.

"Sakata Ryuichi..."

Information about this person appeared in An Qisheng's mind.

This Sakata Ryuichi was one of the few remaining fist technique masters in Fusang. He had countless disciples and was extremely powerful in both the underworld and the overworld in Fusang. He was the true core figure of the Bamboo Dragon Society.

It was said that Mu Longcheng had even visited this person to discuss fist techniques.

But what attracted his attention the most was that Sakata Ryuichi was almost one hundred and twenty years old.

He could really live.

Jiang Shili took out a telescope from somewhere and looked into the depths of the sea:

"Three ships in total. I wonder how many people will come. Zhixuan, have the people you arranged arrived? Four days should be enough time to gather them."

"They've arrived, in Xin Country, at the Bishui Manor."

Wang Zhixuan hung up the phone.

.......

"Baga! They're trying to escape!"

On the deck of the cruiser Mito, Kobayashi put down his binoculars in anger.

"Mr. Kobayashi, they seem to be going to Xin Country."

Another young man, wearing two swords and dressed as a samurai, said in a low voice:

"Should we sink them?"

"Xin Country, Xin Country."

Kobayashi paced back and forth on the deck, hesitating.

If this sea area was the Fusang Sea, he would naturally sink them without hesitation, but this sea area was the Xin Country Sea.

Since the disaster decades ago, Fusang had been declining and was not as good as before. It could no longer withstand diplomatic conflicts.

If the Bamboo Dragon Society caused a diplomatic conflict, it was hard to say that they wouldn't hand him over.

It didn't seem worth it just for these few people.

With their strength, even if they chased them to Xin Country, it would be enough to crush them.

"Mr. Kobayashi."

A sonorous and deep voice floated over. On the deck, a long-haired young man in black, hugging a katana, spoke:

"Wang Zhixuan is the most outstanding rising star in the Xuanguo martial arts world besides Gu Changsheng. I'm very interested in fighting her."

The young man was dressed in black and had a slender figure, half a head taller than the others on the deck, with a cold expression.

"Mr. Ito..."

Kobayashi looked at the young man.

Ito Makoto, a rising star in the Fusang martial arts world, was only twenty-three years old and had already achieved the Huajin realm.

He was known as a Fusang martial arts genius with the potential to challenge Gu Changsheng.

He had joined the Bamboo Dragon Society only for Sakata Ryuichi's guidance, and his status in the Bamboo Dragon Society was very special.

"Rather than sinking this ship, I would prefer to personally cut off her head."

Ito Makoto's expression was cold:

"I believe Mr. Yamaguchi thinks so too, right?"

"Okay! They're going to Xin Country, so let's chase after them, cut off their heads, and send them to the chairman!"

After pacing back and forth a few times, Kobayashi gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind:

"Notify the Xin Country branch to keep an eye on these people's whereabouts! Xin Country isn't Dazuan, it can't save them!"

"Hai!"

The subordinate bowed and retreated.
