Volume 6: Overseas Chapter 297 Fusang Swordsman
The sun rises in the east every morning and the moon sets in the west every night.
Under the gray sky, everyone on the boat seemed to feel an invisible oppression. They looked nervous and few spoke.
Li Muchan stood at the bow, watching the compass in his hand spin non-stop but never stopping. His calm expression gradually became disturbed. He said to himself, "It seems there must be a special magnetic field here, which is why I can't tell the direction."
The young man surnamed Sikong stood nearby, curious after hearing this, and asked, "Sir, what is a magnetic field?"
Li Muchan softly explained, "Have you ever seen a magnet? Yin and Yang attract, and like charges repel. That attraction and repulsion can sometimes affect these objects."
He paused for a moment and looked at the sea surface which was as calm as dead water. Although there was no wind or waves on the surface, there were undercurrents surging inside. Even the ships were having to work harder to propel themselves.
Moreover, there were many hidden reefs in the water along the way, and we encountered countless ship wrecks. It was extremely dangerous.
If an ordinary person broke in here, he would probably have his ship destroyed and everyone on board would have died before he even got here.
"It's really strange."
"Little Li, since this place is said to be in but not out, how did those people we met yesterday get in and out? Is there any special method?"
On the entire boat, only Sun Xiaohong dared to call Li Muchan like that.
"That's right," Li Muchan nodded. "Those people were wearing water-repellent clothing and could enter the sea and break the waves with ease. They must have some special means."
In addition to him guarding the bow, Shangguan Xiaoxian also stood at the stern to guard against those people's another sneak attack.
Shangguan Xiaoxian was standing alone, with no one around her, when she suddenly smelled a fragrant breeze approaching and heard a very gentle voice in her ears, "Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"
Pharmacist Li.
When the two women met again, there was no tension at all. One had a gentle smile and the other had a calm expression.
Shangguan Xiaoxian smiled and said, "You know how to care for others better than that piece of wood."
Pharmacist Li smiled but said nothing . His bright eyes turned slightly and fell on the abdomen of the woman in front of him.
When Shangguan Xiaoxian saw the other person looking at her belly, she also lowered her head to look.
Before I knew it, there were signs of a bulge.
"About four or five months," Pharmacist Li said softly, "You must remember to take good care of yourself. Avoid any physical activity if possible. Be careful not to disturb the fetus. Just leave everything to that piece of wood."
She also learned how Shangguan Xiaoxian addressed Li Muchan.
After hearing these words and looking at the concern in the other person's eyes, Shangguan Xiaoxian suddenly swallowed most of the words that were on the tip of her tongue and just said "hmm" softly.
Pharmacist Li suddenly smiled and asked, "Isn't it time for you to get married?"
Shangguan Xiaoxian was silent for a while, then said, "It's almost there."
Pharmacist Li nodded, his eyes fixed on her for more than ten breaths before he asked with hope and curiosity, "There should be some movement, right?"
Shangguan Xiaoxian stared at Pharmacist Li for a long time before she whispered, "He can move. He even kicked me yesterday at the island shore."
After that, she said something surprising, "Do you... want to touch it?"
"May I?"
Pharmacist Li was stunned. Seeing Shangguan Xiaoxian nod her chin, she immediately smiled, stretched out her left hand, and carefully placed it towards the other person's abdomen.
The moment they touched, two vigorous heartbeats were immediately transmitted through the skin.
Pharmacist Li asked in surprise, "Two?"
Shangguan Xiaoxian smiled and said, "Most of the descendants of my Shangguan clan are twins from the same mother."
Pharmacist Li said happily, "Have you chosen a name?"
Shangguan Xiaoxian shook his head, "But that piece of wood said one would take his surname and the other would take mine."
The conversation between the two naturally did not escape Li Muchan's ears. Seeing that both sides were at peace, he temporarily put his mind at ease.
Now that the situation was critical, he really didn't have the energy to deal with the two of them.
At the same time, Ding Linglin, Sun Xiaohong, and Mrs. Wu on the boat also breathed a sigh of relief.
As time passed, the young man holding the clairvoyant suddenly shouted, "Look, why is there such a thick fog ahead?"
When everyone heard this, they looked into the distance and their faces changed. They saw a very thick fog floating in the sea ahead, covering the sky and the sun, stretching endlessly. It was so deep that no one could see the end of it.
In a place like this, encountering sea fog would make it even more dangerous, wouldn't it?
Li Muchan glanced at the gloomy sky and subconsciously slowed down the speed of the ship.
At this moment, Shangguan Xiaoxian suddenly said, "There's someone in the water."
Li Muchan hummed, his eyes flickering across the calm sea. "It looks like they're waiting for us to enter this thick fog."
"Mr. Li, there seems to be someone behind us."
It was Mrs. Wu who spoke, looking a little nervous.
The group turned their heads to look back, only to see a very inconspicuous black dot suddenly appear at the end of the road where the sea and the sky met.
The young man hurriedly raised his clairvoyance to peer into the distance, and soon exclaimed, "It's a person. It looks like a Fusang swordsman dressed in white. He's alone, riding a small boat, and coming very quickly."
Li Muchan's expression remained unchanged. He looked at the thick fog ahead and said calmly, "Let's go in... There's probably something strange hidden in there, so be careful."
The ship was getting closer and closer to the thick fog, and the man in white behind it was also getting closer and closer. Everyone could even feel a powerful sword energy approaching.
Even Shangguan Xiaoxian couldn't help but exclaim in a hushed voice: "Ruiwang Chongxiao, how amazing!"
They had to be wary of the reefs in the sea, so they naturally couldn't move too fast.
The person who came was alone in a boat, crossing the ocean, so he had no worries.
"It seems that this person is the master who can compete with the flying swordsman." Ding Linglin exclaimed.
Li Muchan's eyes flickered, and he said noncommittally, "The situation is pressing. Whether I'm truly qualified to be on par with the best is another matter."
After all, these people are very powerful and have many experts, while Fei Jianke and Li Tanhua are both alone. It is impossible to determine who is stronger and who is weaker by just one fight. There are too many things to consider.
"You came so quickly."
In a moment, the Fusang swordsman had become clearer from a tiny black dot. He was wearing fluttering white clothes, with a band on his forehead, and holding a four or five-foot-long black-sheathed sword in his arms. He was motionless, like a stubborn stone.
Although the people did not move, the boat was moving fast.
"I never thought that such a tiny country could produce such a genius in swordsmanship." Sun Xiaohong sighed.
Li Muchan smiled. "Are there few extraordinary people in this world? There are too many."
The man saw the people on the boat about to sail into the thick fog, and suddenly took a step forward. The boat under his feet immediately stabilized, and then he slowly raised his right hand. Before the women and children could see clearly, they saw an indescribable flash of sword light.
In a trance, the several feet of sword light seemed to turn into a flying white dragon. The sword light suddenly lit up, and the calm sea surface was immediately cut off. A gap extended straight to it. The sword energy was rampant, as if it could cut through the mountains and seas. Wherever it passed, water mist rose into the sky, and the sound of hissing was endless.
But extraordinary momentum does not mean extraordinary means.
"A trifle."
Seeing that the other party was coming with great momentum, Li Muchan gently stretched out his right hand from the ship, and swept his five fingers towards the sea surface. Immediately, a stream of water separated and surged up, falling into the palm of his hand, and then quickly condensed into an ice cone with a cold glow.
Li Muchan twisted the ice cone with his hand and flicked his finger with a smile. There was a "ding" sound, and the ice cone broke through the air and shot at the people on the boat.
Looking at the sword that came through the waves, when the sword energy was running wild, it was cut in half by a cold star, and immediately dissipated into nothingness , and the ripples dissipated.
The Fuso swordsman slashed down with his sword, his cheeks suddenly trembled, and he swung the sword in his hand horizontally, blocking the ice cone in mid-air.
But the moment of contact, as the ice cone shattered, his entire body from head to toe was suddenly covered with a layer of frost that was visible to the naked eye. Even the breath in his mouth and nose turned into wisps of white mist, and a terrible chill instantly swept through his body.
In just a moment, the man was frozen on the spot and turned into an ice sculpture.
"Dead?" the boy asked.
Li Muchan shook his head, "No, I'm quite capable."
As he finished speaking, the Fuso swordsman's body shook, and the frost and ice outside his body instantly turned into powder.
But at this moment, just as they were about to drive into the thick fog, Li Muchan suddenly paused, slowly narrowed his eyes, and his eyes flashed, as if stirring up a huge wave.
“Ah… this… this is…”
The expressions of the others also changed drastically, and they were all shocked.
But behind the Fuso swordsman, on the sea, countless dense shadows of ships formed a black line, dividing the sky and the sea, and slowly approaching.
