Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 1052 - 1052 1038 Catch in the Act

Chapter 1052: Chapter 1038: Catch in the Act Chapter 1052: Chapter 1038: Catch in the Act Ye Chen had no choice, he couldn’t just abandon that girl, and with everything in chaos, he might as well rescue her first.

“Stop the nonsense and bury them alive after we’ve rescued her.”

Upon hearing this, Black Demonic Spirit coldly retorted, “As if you’d bear to.”

Ye Chen covered his face and nose, leaving only his eyes visible.

The surroundings erupted in a chorus of killing, growing fiercer by the moment, with Fireballs flying everywhere, obscuring the sky and land in darkness.

Wan Liyun took the lead, blocking the front, while Shao Hengjiang rushed up, fought for a while, and stabilized the formation.

Suddenly, Wan Liyun seemed to remember something and said, “Right, why haven’t we seen that boy?”

Prompted by his words, Shao Hengjiang was reminded too, indeed, that girl was last seen with that boy. How could they not have seen him? It was very likely that the boy was also aboard the ship.

Wan Liyun said, “Big brother, you go down. I’m enough to handle this alone. Don’t let that little girl set fire to the ship later.” He knew Shao Hengjiang had different plans for that girl.

Shao Hengjiang nodded slightly and replied, “Alright, be careful.”

“Don’t worry. They are no match for me.” Being a pirate, Wan Liyun had no trouble dealing with the two Sacred Spirit Sect ships. On land, he was no match for Qiandu Xiang, but at sea, he certainly didn’t fear him.

Nangong Yao was unaware of what had happened behind him, where a fierce battle had broken out. Thinking it was thunder, he assumed a storm was brewing. Guan Xun and Ouyang Yue both came running over.

Guan Xun said, “It seems a fight has broken out.”

Nangong Yao responded, “Since when were we being followed?” He was surprised to find they had been tailed without their knowledge.

Guan Xun suggested, “The fog is too thick at sea, we might very well have been followed.”

Indeed, Qiandu Xiang was extremely cunning. He maneuvered three ships, sailing crisscross, easily mistaken for regular passing ships to those not paying attention, a distraction he often used, leaving no chance for anyone to spot the flaw.

Jiu Hu questioned doubtfully, “Could it be Qiandu Xiang?”

It was very likely. They didn’t know when they had been followed, and Nangong Yao’s mind brimmed with questions.

Ouyang Yue also grew anxious.

Jiu Hu continued, “But who exactly is fighting them?”

Guan Xun was equally curious, asking, “Do we have allies?”

“There’s nobody. All my people are on the Breeze Ship.” Having been rescued that night, Ouyang Yue had primarily Si Nanyu’s men with her. Who would be willing to help her now? She asked in return, “Uncle Nangong, aren’t those people friends from Immortal Medicine Island?”

Nangong Yao was stunned for a moment, then replied, “They’re not our people. It was only after rescuing you that night that I decided to follow you to Xiyue Island. So, besides Song Yi, no one knows I have come to Xiyue Island.”

Jiu Hu wondered, “So who are these people who have come to help us fight Qiandu Xiang, friend or foe?” Puzzled by the mystery, he suggested, “Should we collaborate with those two ships to pinch Qiandu Xiang in the middle and crush him?”

Nangong Yao glanced at the barely visible five ships, three in front and two farther away, hesitated due to the uncertainty of the two ships’ allegiance at the rear, fearing they were not friends but might run into pirates instead. With night approaching, he shook his head, considering it a good opportunity to escape Qiandu Xiang, and said, “No, we shouldn’t stay. We should use this chance to shake them off as soon as possible. We don’t know if the people behind us are friends or enemies, and if they are the latter, they’re likely to entangle us and might come to steal our Key Box.”

These words reminded Ouyang Yue, who also found them sensible, and said, “I’ll follow Uncle’s lead.”

“This is a great opportunity to get away from them, without concerning ourselves with how they followed us. Let’s not waste time here,” proposed Nangong Yan, thinking that their top priority was not joining forces against Qiandu Xiang, whose martial arts were formidable and beyond her capabilities, which might also attract the attention of other Island Masters.

Ouyang Yue declared, “Stop looking. There’s nothing worth seeing. Didn’t you hear Uncle? Now is the best chance to get away. Let’s make haste and leave this place.”

Nangong Yao felt a chill down his spine, wondering how they had been followed without notice. If they had been suddenly attacked, it would have been disastrous, possibly even leading to a sinking ship. He called out, “Guan Xun, what are you doing that we were being followed without you noticing?”

Guan Xun hung his head low.

The battle was intensely hostile, with Water Dragons thrashing wildly in the water, making it an unpleasant experience.

Qiandu Xiang had not anticipated that the two unassuming ships would unleash such ferocious firepower. He had thought he could destroy both ships within half an hour, but soon realized those ships, seemingly fragile, were made of refined steel with exceptional resistance and were not easily subdued.

Just then, it was expected that the Shock Dragon Ship and the Crescent Moon Ship ahead would turn back, but neither of the two ships returned.

However, a report suddenly came stating, “The Shock Dragon Ship and the Crescent Moon Ship are trying to escape.”

This completely surprised Qiandu Xiang. If the two ships behind and the Shock Dragon Ship and the Crescent Moon Ship in front coordinated their attack, they would have the advantage over them. But instead of attacking, the Shock Dragon Ship and the Crescent Moon Ship were forcefully accelerating eastward.

Hai Jingtian said, “Could it be that the Immortal Medicine Sect used the two ships behind us to hold us back and prevent us from continuing the pursuit?”

Qiandu Xiang looked on, determined not to let Nangong Yao escape. After following him this far, they would soon arrive at Xiyue Island.

Hai Jingtian said, “Sect Leader, we must hurry and catch up. We can’t let them get away. How about this, leave these people to me, you go ahead and keep a close watch. The Sacred Spirit Stone is the most important thing. I’ll throw them off and catch up immediately. Don’t let them escape.”

Qiandu Xiang really wanted to wipe out the two ships behind him, but he quickly calmed down, realizing that indeed, now was not the time to get angry. The Sacred Spirit Stone was more important. He said, “Alright, I will take the Shark Ship to chase them first. You can follow once you’ve shaken them off.”

Hai Jingtian nodded slightly.

Qiandu Xiang, with his brother Qiandu Ao and others, took the lead aboard the Shark Ship, leaving Hai Jingtian and the rest behind. At this time, they were still caught in an entanglement with the two ships behind them as the Winged Dragons flew chaotically above.

Ye Chen quietly made his way to Shao Hengjiang’s room. Boom, boom…

Within two moves, he knocked down the guards and burst through the door, charging in. As expected, the girl was inside, tied to a pillar like a roast lamb ready for the spit.

Nangong Yan was shocked, not expecting him to come rescue her again.

Ye Chen angrily said, “You damn girl, you’ll get yourself killed one of these days.” Then he rushed over and began to unlock her pressure points.

Nangong Yan felt very embarrassed. Her original plan was not to be this way. She thought she could retreat quietly after opening the gate control for the Water Dragon’s fin. Instead, she had alerted the guards, and they arrived quickly. She became flustered as more and more people came, and said, “I didn’t expect to get myself caught.”

“You haven’t even thought about bearing children for Shao Hengjiang in the future,” Ye Chen said, obviously out of frustration.

“I was afraid you’d be angry, that’s why I didn’t tell you. I thought I could do it without any noise.”

“Right, you’re so capable that you got caught, and now I have to rescue you again.” Outside, chaos had already erupted.

Nangong Yan said, “I knew you would come to rescue me.”

“So that means I’m a fool. Otherwise, why would I do this?”

“Don’t worry, even if you hadn’t come to rescue me, I wouldn’t have given you away,” she assured him.

“I’m so fucking moved. Should I really thank you?” Ye Chen was, of course, very angry and was about to lash out; escaping this time would definitely lead to being hunted down everywhere.

He hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly, with a bang, a palm strike accompanied by a whirlwind, like a Horned Dragon, came crashing in. He was pushed back into the room, and even though Ye Chen countered with a palm strike of his own,

it was dissipated by Shao Hengjiang.

Ye Chen hadn’t expected the damn Shao Hengjiang to return so quickly.

All he could hear was Shao Hengjiang saying, “So you really are on this ship.” Behind Shao Hengjiang were more than a dozen disciples, their weapons drawn and ready to strike at Shao Hengjiang’s command.

The Black Demonic Spirit said anxiously, “This is it, we’re really going to be captured and turned into demon-monsters.”

Shao Hengjiang waved his hand, signaling the group of people behind him to retreat.

Ye Chen looked at Shao Hengjiang, surprised that he hadn’t ordered his men to attack; it seemed he wanted to handle this personally.

Nangong Yan nudged Ye Chen and asked, “What do we do?”

“Ask the old bastard if giving birth to his child means he’ll let me go. If that’s the case, I’ll be deeply grateful to you,” he said.

“Stop joking around,” she replied.
