Chapter 185 The Dual Blades Meet!
The first day of February.
The sun was shining brightly, and the sea breeze was slightly salty.
Devil's Reef is located deep in the East China Sea. There are countless reefs here, and a large ship could run aground if it is not careful. Moreover, the sea in this area is full of turbulent currents and eddies, and it is extremely unstable. Even if a fourth-grade grandmaster is thrown into it, he would have a very low chance of survival.
Furthermore, there are rumors that Devil's Reef is the territory of a terrifying sea monster that frequently attacks ships passing through it.
In recent years, very few ships have dared to approach the waters around Devil's Reef.
But today is different; dozens of large ships and hundreds of small boats have appeared near Devil's Reef.
Each large ship carries dozens of people.
On some of the smaller boats are martial arts masters from the East China Sea who have not appeared in the martial arts world for decades. Today, due to the clash between the Demon Blade and the Mad Blade, they have reappeared in the martial arts world.
"Isn't that the Lord of Sea Sand Fortress? Fifty years ago, he was already unmatched among the third-rank Grandmasters in the East Sea martial arts world, known as the number one person below the second rank. He had been in seclusion all along, but I didn't expect him to appear today?"
"Nonsense! The martial arts world of the East Sea is now at a critical juncture of life and death. How could any martial arts master in the East Sea who knows the news not come to see?"
"Hehe, you're overthinking it. If Senior Bai isn't a match for the Demon Blade, then no first-rank master in the entire East Sea martial arts world would be enough for Xiao Bieli to cut down with a single strike. Now, we can only rely on Senior Bai!"
"Yes... the Demon Blade is so powerful that it fills the martial arts world of the East Sea with despair!"
"..."
"It's a ship from Giant Whale Island, and that's Island Master Mei. He's arrived too!"
"The 'Poisonous Lady' has arrived too!"
"That's the Chess Saint...they came together!"
As the large ship from Whale Island entered the vicinity of Devil's Reef, gasps of surprise rang out.
Although two of the Six Saints of the East Sea were killed by Xiao Bieli, the Six Saints were all experts of the first rank, which was more powerful than ordinary first-rank experts. The appearance of the Lord of Giant Whale Island and others gave the surrounding martial artists of the East Sea some confidence.
The moment the large ship from Whale Island arrived, two figures leaped aboard.
Yu Zhong, the "Fisherman"; Peng Jing, the "Mighty Vajra".
These two are also well-known first-rank masters in the martial arts world of the East Sea. Although they are not as famous as the Six Saints of the East Sea, they are still top masters in the East Sea.
As soon as the 'fisherman' Yu Zhong landed on the large ship on Giant Whale Island, he said in a deep voice:
“Our people have been keeping an eye on the Zhou family.”
"The Zhou family has also come this time, but it's almost noon and they haven't shown up yet. They're probably waiting for Brother Bai and Xiao Bieli to be both severely injured before they can take advantage of the situation!"
"Sigh!" Mei Yuansheng frowned and sighed.
"Brother Bai is a genius that is rare in the martial arts world of the East Sea. He always said that Xiao Bieli has pride in his heart, but isn't he the same?"
"Compared to fighting that old man from the Zhou family, he probably looks forward to fighting Xiao Bieli!"
"Actually, the best option is to let the Zhou family make a move against Xiao Bieli first!"
“Zhou Yuan died at Xiao Bieli’s hands. If the Zhou family doesn’t take action against Xiao Bieli, how can they have the face to say they’re going to invade the Central Plains?”
"Those forces in the East China Sea that are colluding with the Zhou family will also question the strength of the Zhou family."
"This time... Brother Bai was too hasty!"
Everyone on the ship fell silent.
Even the top-ranking officials were the same; although they agreed with Mei Yuansheng's statement, they didn't dare to speak ill of Bai Tianxun.
After all, Bai Tianxun, the Mad Saber of the East Sea, is the strongest martial artist in the East Sea!
Even that old man from the Zhou family might not be a match for Bai Tianxun.
After a long while, the chess master Feng Ping looked at the sun in the sky and murmured:
"It's almost noon!"
"Where are Xiao Bieli and Brother Bai?"
Mei Yuansheng shook his head:
"When it was time for them to appear..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly turned his head, and a figure carrying a long sword was rushing towards Devil's Reef at an extremely fast speed.
"It's Senior Bai!"
"Senior Bai is here!"
"..."
Bai Tianxun is extremely famous in the martial arts world of the East China Sea. Moreover, he came from an ordinary background and has come all the way up by relying solely on himself. He is an idol in the hearts of countless young heroes in the East China Sea.
The moment Xun appeared during the day
It instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the crowd.
Many people had not held much hope for the future of the martial arts world in the East China Sea, but the moment they saw Bai Tianxun, they felt a surge of confidence.
"I'm coming!"
"The ship from Shenlong Island has arrived!"
"Is that Xiao Bieli at the bow of the boat?"
"..."
Several more exclamations rang out.
A large ship sailed in, cutting through the waves. A young man dressed in a black outfit with gold trim stood at the bow of the ship, his long clothes fluttering in the wind.
"So...so young...and so handsome!"
Looking at Xiao Bieli's handsome face and his extraordinary temperament, the female knight from the East Sea couldn't help but murmur aloud.
"Of course he's young! I heard that Demon Blade Xiao Bieli is only eighteen years old... and he's really handsome!"
"Damn it, his martial arts skills are so high, and he's so handsome too, how are we supposed to behave!"
"Damn it, these women are so shallow. That demonic blade is an enemy of the martial arts world of the East Sea!"
"..."
……
During the day, Xun stood on a huge reef, leaning against Xiao Bieli who was standing at the bow of the ship, and sighed inwardly.
When he was young, he was also full of vigor and ambition, but at the age of eighteen he was only a fifth-rank official, completely incomparable to Xiao Bieli!
Even though they were miles apart, he could sense how terrifying the young figure was.
It is an existence that has survived at least four tribulations of lightning.
Moreover, this prodigy probably has some unexpected trump cards up his sleeve!
Ding Ding Ding!
The long sword on Bai Tianxun's back seemed to sense the terrifying sword intent emanating from Xiao Bieli, and emitted a series of sword cries.
Bai Tianxun gently touched the scabbard.
This sword is a famous weapon he has worn since he was a fourth-grade Grandmaster. As he has progressed to this point, it has finally gained sentience and been promoted to the ranks of divine weapons.
With their minds in sync, he could naturally sense the divine blade's fighting spirit.
At the same time, a fighting spirit rose in his heart. As the large ship from Shenlong Island drew closer, his fighting spirit continued to rise!
Finally, when the large ship from Shenlong Island was less than five miles away from him, he looked up to the sky and roared:
"Good good!"
"Xiao Bieli, the pressure you exert on me is even stronger than that old man from the Zhou family!"
Even if I die by your hand today, it will be a fortunate thing for me, Bai Tianxun!
"Come, come... fight me!"
"A battle..."
"War...war...war!"
The enormous sound spread across the open sea, creating huge waves that rocked ships miles away.
Xun's eyes were piercing during the day.
He had previously considered the interests of the martial arts world in the East China Sea and wanted to fight Xiao Bieli.
But right now, all he wants to do is unleash his blade!
"If you want to fight, then fight!"
Xiao Bieli stomped on the deck and shot out like an arrow, shouting:
"It just so happens that I haven't met a decent knife master since I was born!"
"I hope you won't disappoint me!"
