Volume 6: Overseas Chapter 296: The Tribulation
The sun sets and another night begins.
The isolated peak was extremely dangerous. Li Muchan sat cross-legged on the edge of the steep cliff, with his hands in his sleeves. Sometimes he looked up at the bright moon, and sometimes he looked down at the shore of the island. His deep gaze seemed to be able to see the people on the boat.
Apart from Wu Ming and the young man with the surname Sikong, there were only a group of women left on the boat.
Moreover, they are all extremely smart, rare women in the world.
He really didn't know how to get along with this group of people, so he had to stay away from them and hide on the top of the mountain.
Li Muchan gathered his sleeves and looked at the round bright moon, thinking of Li Yaoshi's actions during the day.
This person was distancing himself from him, or rather trying to distance himself from him.
The moonlight was shining, the breeze was blowing on his face, and Li Muchan slowly closed his eyes.
Trade-offs.
At this moment, he thought of these two words.
Looking back on the past, he had met many people, but no matter who they were, coming and going, they had never made him as upset as they were today.
No, it should be said that there are two, one is Shangguan Xiaoxian and the other is Li Yaoshi.
The former had been entangled with him for years, like two old vines in the forest, entwined and inseparable. And ever since his experience in the Chang'an Underground Palace, Li Muchan knew he would be entangled with her until death, and this woman would become a part of his life.
What about the latter?
The latter was the first person to support him, protect him and back him from behind.
This person even betrayed his own senior brother for him.
Li Muchan knew that what he owed could not be repaid by the position of the general manager of the World Alliance.
He wanted to return the money, and even felt a little sorry for this person, very sorry, but he didn't know how to start the conversation or how to do it.
Or maybe he shouldn't have used trade-offs to measure the two of them.
Because these two people are very important to him...
The night wind blew across Li Muchan's hair, causing strands of black hair to lift up.
He suddenly lay down on the cold, hard rocks, resting his head on his two swords and using his hands as cushions, just like when he first entered this world, ignorant of the world, lying there pretending to be carefree, doing whatever he wanted, without any worries.
Although he knew nothing and didn't know any martial arts at that time, it is undeniable that he was very relaxed and comfortable. All he thought about was how to be a hero and enjoy the world.
But he hadn't lay like this for many years, and he hadn't even had a good sleep for a long time.
It turns out that even if you are invincible, you are still a flesh and blood body after all.
Li Muchan suddenly felt a sense of tiredness for no reason. He found that lying down was indeed very comfortable. He slept with Mu Yue facing the wind and his knife as a pillow.
But this tiredness was soon dispelled.
A strong man cannot be tired, and now that he is facing a powerful enemy, he cannot have such thoughts.
A short rest is enough.
Li Muchan opened his eyes again and sat up. At this moment, he had become the unrivaled and unparalleled warrior he had become. Moreover, the energy circulating in his body and the strength he had recovered had, without him noticing, improved even further.
The night wind was blowing violently. Although he was sitting cross-legged without moving, his body was slowly floating in the air and rising from the ground.
A strong wind was blowing between heaven and earth. Li Muchan raised his arms into the air, and his whole body swayed like a kite in the wind, moving like a leaf, and his body kept posing in mysterious and obscure postures. That was the practice of the Wuxiang Divine Art.
At this moment, when he was about to face the enemy in a fierce battle, the formless magic power in his body was no longer bound, and he suddenly realized everything.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Li Muchan's feet sank, and there seemed to be a glint in his eyes.
He took a step, and it seemed as if he was walking on the moon. After a few quick moves, he disappeared silently into the shadow of a mountain.
Looking in the moonlight, I saw a black shadow hovering in the sky for a long time, neither falling nor going away.
Li Muchan's eyes were dim, and he had seen it clearly in the dark. The thing seemed to be a strange bird, like an eagle or a falcon, with a pair of cold and scary eyes, and a faint golden light, as if it was looking at something, searching for something.
With just one glance, Li Muchan could conclude that this bird must have been domesticated.
When the Demon Cult moved eastward, they also seemed to have released this kind of falcon to scout the way.
Li Muchan's mind raced, "Could it be that the woman didn't leave? Or is there someone else?"
At this moment, the strange bird circling in the night sky suddenly flapped its wings and sank, then flew into the distant sky, and no one knew where it flew to.
Li Muchan narrowed his eyes and looked at the direction where the strange bird flew away. It was actually the direction they came from.
In this case, it shouldn't be the people we met during the day , but...
"Pursuers?"
It seems that the tsunami has passed and Zhu Da and his men have finally caught up.
Seeing this, Li Muchan didn't hesitate and ran straight down the mountain. "Get ready to go. We're going to break in tonight."
If it is in the deep sea, even if it is dangerous, it will never be extremely dangerous. Besides, Ye Kai and others are also in it. Even if Venerable Asura is really alive, we have to fight to know who is stronger and who is weaker.
But the pursuers behind him are not ordinary people. There are not hundreds or thousands of them, but tens of thousands of people. If they come out in full force, he and Shangguan Xiaoxian will not be spared, but the rest of the people will probably be buried in the sea.
When everyone on the boat heard Li Muchan's words, they did not dare to delay. They raised the anchor and set off again with trepidation in their hearts.
※※※
Above the vast ocean, under the bright moon, a high-pitched and sharp whistle suddenly sounded, intermittently, like the cry of an eagle or a crane.
The sound was heard, and soon after, a black shadow flapped its wings and swooped down, and was caught in mid-air by a big hand.
"Found them."
A murmuring sound was heard, and a big man caught the strange bird.
This man had thick black hair like a spear, a tall and straight figure, and his exposed upper body was covered with all kinds of strange and evil tattoos. His eyes were bright and shining, like stars.
Looking in
"It seems our people are already dead."
The big man had a huge crescent-shaped scimitar slung diagonally on his back. The blade was pitch black and the blade was snow-white, shining coldly under the moonlight.
Just as they were talking, a solitary boat slowly floated over between the vast ocean of heaven and earth.
The person on the boat was an old man wearing a wide robe, with a head full of white hair gathered at the back of his head into a long braid that reached down to his heels.
As the boat passed by, the waves below the boat subsided, as if turning into a mirror, reflecting the sky and the earth, as well as the bright moon.
"You all came so quickly."
This person was clearly far away, but his voice could be heard clearly by everyone.
As he finished speaking, he saw the small boat take advantage of the momentum of the waves to leap several feet into the air, and then seemed to be caught by a big hand and fell back into the water very lightly and silently.
When this man came, the three identical old men followed closely behind him, and they only dared to lower their heads and stand very respectfully, as if they were three well-behaved and sensible children.
The old man in the wide robe smiled slightly and said, "Now that we are all here, let's get going."
The waves rose and fell, and looking in the direction they came from, they saw several huge treasure ships on the vast ocean, appearing from under the moon like giant monsters...
