Chapter 2097 - 2097 2087 The Big Ship

2097: Chapter 2087: The Big Ship 2097: Chapter 2087: The Big Ship The fight above the canal had reached a fever pitch.

Now, nearly all the boats had people standing on them, even the smaller ones were no exception.

Although Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t specified that falling into the river meant failure, everyone understood that if one fell into the canal, it was a loss of face to try to fight again.

“Brother Long, is it time to make a move now?”

Although Chu Bei had roamed among many star domains for years, he never engaged in such circuitous matters.

If he could beat them, he would fight; if not, he would flee.

His thoughts were that simple.

“Wait a bit longer.”

Ignoring the anxious Chu Bei at his side, a gleam of light flashed through Long Yan’s eyes.

Now was not the time; a hasty move would only reveal his strength prematurely.

Everyone present was Heaven’s Proud Son, and although Long Yan was not afraid, he still prioritized caution above all else.

“Alright then.”

Chu Bei could only restrain his eagerness, waiting for the moment Long Yan gave the signal to act.

He was annoyed by these considerations, but now that he had Long Yan, everything was easier to handle.

As the two conversed, many could no longer contain themselves; they turned into streaks of light and flew towards the smaller boats, wondering why not go after the larger ones.

These people were well aware of their own strength.

This year’s generation was filled with extraordinary talents, not to mention the already famous Long Yan.

Even the True Qi fluctuations from Blood Sha and Ling Yu, who usually stayed away from the public eye, were unfathomable, let alone the presence of Saintess Luo Pin from the Shengdao Alliance.

They were content with securing a place on the Earth Ranking and didn’t need to fight desperately.

Those who had already occupied small boats now faced their respective challengers – these geniuses, once they made a move, left almost no room for the others on the boats to fight back.

In an instant, a succession of “plop” sounds of people falling into the water could be heard, with almost no ability to resist being knocked into the water.

“Hmph!”

Blood Sha could no longer hold back.

The competition was nearing its end, and shrouded in enveloping Evil Qi, he pounced toward a large boat like a ferocious tiger.

The others sought out their respective large boats.

The results of this year’s Sky and Earth Rankings were already nearly predetermined, so there were only a few large boats, including of course one that was Long Yan’s target.

“Let’s go.”

Chu Bei had always been waiting for Long Yan’s lead.

Upon hearing Long Yan’s words, a wave of black True Qi emanated from him, and he flew towards one of the large boats.

The two could take over a single large boat, but they still needed to seize two; Long Yan also targeted a large boat and flew towards it.

“Are you Long Yan?”

The person on the boat watched as Long Yan landed on his vessel, his face turning white.

Long Yan now had a considerable reputation.

“True Qi Sword Art.”

The Power around them was in a vaporized state.

Also ranked as Heaven’s Proud Son, the man before him couldn’t allow himself to lose easily.

Long Yan sighed; fame was of no benefit to martial arts, and it only stirred up an opponent’s fighting spirit.

“Away you go.”

With a gentle utterance, a faint trace of True Qi was released.

The young man before him might have had the strength of the God King Fifth Level, but in front of Long Yan, he was still not significant enough.

Merely a trace of Sword Qi was enough to shatter all the Sword Shadows as if they were mirrors, small yet invincible like a General charging unopposed through the masses of True Qi.

“The honor is mine.”

The young man on the other side staggered back several steps on the deck after a heavy blow, a trickle of Fresh blood running down the corner of his mouth.

“Thank you for the lesson.”

The young man knew that Long Yan was saving face for him; he could never be a match for Long Yan.

Sheathing his long sword, he leaped towards the shore.

The people around him gasped in shock.

Long Yan was so terrifying that with just a strand of True Qi, he had defeated a God King Fifth Level.

Those who were secretly observing felt a chill in their hearts.

For a while, Long Yan’s boat was actually isolated among the many vessels.

Long Yan seemed already accustomed to such gazes as he looked toward Chu Bei.

Chu Bei still held the wooden stick, a dark, ink-like glow shrouded the entire boat.

Long Yan shook his head with a smile; Chu Bei had come up with this method to prevent others from spying.

He emitted a burst of True Qi, but it was blocked by the dark protective barrier.

“Oh?”

Long Yan let out a questioning sound.

Chu Bei’s True Qi was able to defend against his probing.

Long Yan couldn’t help but become even more interested in Chu Bei.

On the other hand, Blood Sha’s fight was fierce and open.

The occupant of the targeted boat, despite a decent cultivation base, gradually fell into a disadvantage under the erosion of the crimson light.

Clearly, Blood Sha hadn’t used his real strength either.

Ling Yu in his white clothes remained unsullied; his figure flickered, becoming elusive and making it hard to discern his movements as True Qi roped around his opponent.

“This is the Carefree Faction’s Eight Gates Carefree Step.”

Saintess Luo Pin had somehow made her way onto Long Yan’s boat unnoticed, her white clothes as pure as snow, and her paper umbrella resting on the shoulder of the beauty.

“It’s nothing remarkable.”

Long Yan wasn’t being arrogant.

This technique was just an evolution from the Eight Trigrams.

It was still far from being carefree.

“You’re quite the tough talker.”

Luo Pin’s beautiful eyes carried a smile as she teased Long Yan.

If anyone were to be called the Ancestor of the Eight Trigrams, it would naturally be the great prehistoric power Fuxi; however, it was Zhuge Shenhou who truly glorified and expanded the knowledge of the Eight Trigrams.

Seeing Ling Yu’s steps, Long Yan just felt bored.

Compared to Ling Yu, Long Yan was actually more interested in Chu Bei, who was shrouded in dark True Qi.

“Chu Bei, a mysterious loose cultivator from the Heavenly Ring Star Region, reportedly practices martial arts not even recorded by the Shengdao Alliance.”

Luo Pin frowned beautifully as she saw where Long Yan’s gaze was fixed.

“It seems the Shengdao Alliance isn’t far from disbanding.”

Long Yan mocked coldly, but he was secretly amazed.

He knew the strength of the Shengdao Alliance well; he was just a small player, and this giant entity could still tolerate him, the influence of the Alliance was but the tip of the iceberg.

If even the Shengdao Alliance couldn’t identify the martial arts Chu Bei was practicing, then Chu Bei truly had some real ability.

Luo Pin’s pretty little mouth was like a machine gun, while Long Yan occasionally responded nonchalantly.

However, he wondered why Luo Pin was not as dignified as usual today, instead chattering like a village girl.

The battle was nearing its end.

Chu Bei had already resolved his fight and landed on Long Yan’s boat like a breeze.

“Brother Chu has impressive skills.”

Long Yan said with a smile.

Luo Pin, standing beside him, couldn’t hide her jealousy—why did this man greet everyone with a smile but always look so cold to her?

“Brother Long is quite skilled as well, of course, in various aspects.”

After speaking, Chu Bei looked ambiguously at Luo Pin standing beside Long Yan.
