Chapter 1264 - 1264 1250 Battle with the Local Snake Boss

Chapter 1264: Chapter 1250: Battle with the Local Snake Boss Chapter 1264: Chapter 1250: Battle with the Local Snake Boss “Don’t zone out, hurry up and give us the situation,” Longhun said.

Mo Ku quickly spread out the map and said, “Shao Hengjiang and his men are scattered here, they will be surrounded here, and we won’t let the local snakes escape.” He marked a spot on the map.

Ren Haotian also became excited, because with the appearance of the local snakes, everything was determined. At that moment, they were hidden in the shadows, taking the initiative, and moreover, they had a large number of people. The chance of getting the Sacred Spirit Stone was very high, and with the Sacred Spirit Stone, he would have the opportunity to avenge his father. Naturally, he was excited and said, “Wan Liyun is in this position, and I think his task must be to guard against us.”

Old Du heard this and said, “It seems Shao Hengjiang is still very cautious.”

However, Mo Ku said, “Caution is useless, they probably only have eight or nine hundred people, but they didn’t expect another group of ours to come. Their understanding of us is based on what they heard from the people of Lion Head Island, but our numbers have long since doubled since then. Even if Wan Liyun is watching, he has no one.”

Ren Haotian agreed with Mo Ku, saying, “Exactly, they didn’t expect our numbers to have increased so much. Even if we leave behind three hundred people, they can’t control the situation. When the time comes, it will still be most advantageous for us.”

The sound of killing from the west was still fierce, but it seemed to have weakened a bit.

“Don’t get too happy too soon,” Longhun said. “You should know, Nangong Yao resolving the situation in the west could very likely rush over here and join in the fray.”

Mo Ku said, “Then we need to fight quickly. It will take Nangong Yao at least four hours to get here from the other side. We must get the Sacred Spirit Stone within two hours and escape before his arrival.”

That was exactly Longhun’s plan. He instructed, “Good to know. Just be sure not to engage in prolonged fighting, and absolutely do not leave behind any traces.”

“Rest assured, everything is planned in detail. The people from Immortal City Sect can just wait for others to come seeking their revenge.”

Longhun let out a sinister laugh. Last time, Su Zhanze almost killed him in prison, and it took a lot of effort to escape. Up until now, he hadn’t settled this score and had to hide like a mouse. This time, finally, he found a good opportunity to toy with them.

The local snakes sped up, and Yang Zuotai pointed to the ships ahead, saying, “It’s just ahead.”

About thirty yards away.

A group of people emerged from both sides, dressed like those from Iron Ten Thousand Island, with Shao Hengjiang, of course, at the forefront.

Shao Hengjiang called out, “Leader Liu, you are quite free tonight to come out for a stroll.”

This sentence indicated that they had figured out he was still alive and had likely understood the ins and outs of the situation.

The local snake glanced left and right and said, “You still discovered it. It seems you are not simple either.”

“By faking your death and blaming Lion Head Island, a diversionary tactic, you also came up with quite the clever plan.”

“It’s just that I didn’t expect it to involve the people from Immortal City Sect. I thought we’d have to fight for a while longer.”

“You are quite sinister yourself, to stir up this kind of mess, forcing the Immortal City Sect to wipe out Lion Head Island.”

“I didn’t do it on purpose. Who could have thought that the people from Immortal City Sect were so vicious and ruthless?”

“You’ve got quite a few tricks up your sleeve.”

“I had no choice. If I didn’t do this, I would be the one dead,” the local snake replied.

“Hand over the Sacred Spirit Stone,” Shao Hengjiang said.

The local snake looked around, trying to gauge how many men Shao Hengjiang had brought with him. There seemed to be quite a number of them, but he too had brought a significant number of men. He was not willing to give up the Sacred Spirit Stone. And the ship bound for the sea was just ahead.

“Thinking I would just hand it over with no resistance? Not a chance. Whether or not you can get the Sacred Spirit Stone depends on whether you have the skill,” he replied.

“Since that’s the case, there’s nothing more to discuss,” Shao Hengjiang said.

The atmosphere became instantly tense.

The local snake had considered the worst outcome. He still had a good number of men on his side, and only Shao Hengjiang was present, not Nangong Yao, so there was still a chance. Although Shao Hengjiang’s martial arts were truly formidable, he had also researched the Sacred Spirit Stone and had made significant improvements in his own skills. He couldn’t just hand over the Sacred Spirit Stone like that.

Escape was still possible. How could he simply hand over the Sacred Spirit Stone to that old man? Absolutely not.

Glancing at Yang Zuotai, the local snake recognized that Nangong Yao couldn’t possibly arrive so quickly. He had to seize this chance to escape.

Shao Hengjiang ordered his men to encircle them.

The local snake muttered, “Thinking of surrounding us? It won’t be so easy.” In an instant, Yang Zuotai released a swarm of mutant beasts and dense smoke, and threw out gunpowder, hoping to take advantage of the chaos and flee.

Shao Hengjiang was no common foe; he had anticipated this move. It seemed the local snake was not giving up—a natural reaction considering the effort it took to obtain the Sacred Spirit Stone. He wouldn’t just hand it over compliantly. But now, it was not up to him to decide.

It’s true that the local snake had brought quite a number of people, and he was prepared, but he was still a bit too green. The only thing that worried Shao Hengjiang was those hidden in the shadows from Immortal City Sect, a group known for their ruthless methods.

Wan Liyun was on guard, but he wasn’t as tense as could be expected.

The sudden lightning strikes from the local hooligans startled Shao Hengjiang; he hadn’t anticipated such rapid advancement in their martial arts. Indeed, one should “regard with special attention after three days of absence”, he quickly realized. Their sudden improvement was likely related to the Sacred Spirit Stone—no doubt they had used its power to train.

However, martial arts cannot be mastered overnight; they require years to solidify. A rapid increase in ability was bound to be unsustainable; there would surely be flaws. If he could exploit this, he could defeat these upstarts.

“It seems your martial arts have improved,” said Shao Hengjiang.

“Scared, aren’t you? If you are, then scram and I’ll spare your life,” the local ruffian boasted confidently.

“Far from it. To become a martial arts master overnight is no easy feat. If it were, there wouldn’t be so many low-level thugs around.”

The local hooligan summoned lightning from all directions, attacking Shao Hengjiang.

Shao Hengjiang remained composed, with an answer for every move. It all appeared to be within his control.

After several assaults, the local ruffian failed to gain the upper hand, as all his attacks were neutralized. Dumbfounded and infuriated that he couldn’t suppress the old man, he couldn’t make sense of the situation.

After defending for a while, Shao Hengjiang had assessed his opponent’s limitations. It was time to counterattack. As the local thug’s two lightning bolts approached, Shao Hengjiang deflected them with a Light Wave from his left palm, and with a strike of his right palm, a series of lightning bolts shot out, aiming straight for the hoodlum.

The local ruffian was taken aback. Always on the offensive, he was caught off guard as the relentless defense suddenly turned into an attack. In a panic, he quickly erected an energy wall.

Shao Hengjiang’s palm strike was ferocious. The local hooligan wasn’t fully prepared, and the attack devoured the energy wall with a thunderous roar, blasting him out fifty feet away.

Shao Hengjiang leapt up, following with another attacking move, akin to a meteor hurtling toward its target.

The local ruffian had suffered from the previous move; the energy wall had absorbed some of the impact, leaving him unharmed. But he needed to be more cautious now and promptly took out the Sacred Spirit Stone from his pocket.

Summoning a surge of energy, like a ravenous beast, Shao Hengjiang unleashed multiple beams of light from the Sacred Spirit Stone, which blocked the incoming Shao Hengjiang, pushing him back more than ten steps.

Without the Sacred Spirit Stone, the local ruffian stood no chance against Shao Hengjiang, who evidently had some skill.

Mo Ku, who stood beside Longhun, said, “The Sacred Spirit Stone.”

“So the Sacred Spirit Stone is indeed in his hands.”

Upon seeing the Sacred Spirit Stone, Ren Haotian said, “We can make our move now.”

Longhun glanced toward the northwest; it would be a while from there. “No rush, let them fight a bit more,” he said. He wanted to gauge the true power of the Sacred Spirit Stone. They would have to wait until both of them were weakened before striking. “Hurry down and get ready. Mo Ku, you deal with Wan Liyun. Make sure to keep a tight grip on him.”

“Don’t worry, leave Wan Liyun to me.”

“Old Du, give Elder Xi Feng the signal on time.” Longhun glanced at Old Du. By now, Elder Xi Feng should be nearby; it would take only half an hour for the ships to get here.

Old Du nodded slightly.

Longhun turned to Ren Haotian, saying, “You’ll deal with Yang Zuotai.”

“Understood.”

Longhun estimated that it would take Nangong Yao some time to get here, so there was no need to act immediately. He had to wait for the right opportunity to strike.

The local ruffian could no longer contain himself and had taken out the Sacred Spirit Stone, using its power to fend off his opponent. He knew that time was of the essence and that they couldn’t afford to spend much more here; it wouldn’t be long before they were exposed, even without considering when Nangong Yao might turn up.

The disciples of the Immortal City Sect could also be on their way, so it was imperative to leave this place as soon as possible.

To escape, however, he had to get rid of the old man; otherwise, there was no chance of departure. He signaled to Yang Zuotai in the distance, conveying that they needed to make haste.

The local ruffian continued to release energy from the Sacred Spirit Stone.

The energy kept escalating, causing chaos everywhere—a deliberate move. Chaos was his only chance to escape.

But Shao Hengjiang was acutely aware of his plan. The energy released from the Sacred Spirit Stone was indeed formidable and required caution. However, he was also aware of the local ruffian’s haste, which stemmed from his fear of drawing others to the scene.

Shao Hengjiang and Nangong Yao had an agreement; if Nangong Yao held the west, he would bring his men over. Clearly, the local ruffian was more desperate than he was. As long as Shao Hengjiang held his ground, the Sacred Spirit Stone would not be taken away.

The local ruffian became increasingly desperate, randomly bombarding the area. This proved to be the best evidence of his panic. At this moment, as long as Shao Hengjiang remained steady, there would be no issue.
