Volume 6: Overseas Chapter 305: It’s Hard to Distinguish Friends from Foes
The sea of fog was surging and the island was shaking. The three of them ran and rushed, and soon they reached the shore.
Wang Lianhua ran in front, seemingly worried about the safety of Pharmacist Li, and kept searching for their traces, but the island was now covered with rocks like rain, and everyone was fleeing or scattering. No one dared to stay here, leaving only a mess.
"They may have already left the island." Li Muchan carried Zhu Qiqi on his back, his brows lowered as he said, "If that woman is really the Asura Venerable, Ye Kai and the others might be in danger."
Wang Lianhua's expression was gloomy. With a long whistle, she flew into the sea of fog. When reappeared, she had already recaptured the two small boats. "Let's leave here first."
But as he was speaking, a group of hidden weapons suddenly shot out from the fog, dense as rain, and a gloomy voice sounded, "Boy, I just fell for your trick. Now let's see where you can escape."
As soon as the words fell, a bright sword light broke through the wind and waves and flashed through the fog.
The sword energy was crisscrossing, splitting the waves and opening the sea. The fog also silently moved to the sides. Behind them, several huge ships were looming, with people standing on them, including many masters.
The first person held a crescent-shaped sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword was shaking with murderous intent.
Li Muchan took a deep breath and without any hesitation, he jumped onto the boat where Wang Lianhua was. The white-clothed swordsman then boarded another boat and raised the long sword in his hand to take the earth-shaking blow.
"Rush out first."
Wang Lianhua had a solemn expression. He waved his hands and flicked his sleeves, pushing away all the hidden weapons in the sky. At the same time, he pushed his palm through the air, and the small boat shot into the depths of the sea of fog like an arrow.
A strong wind blew past his ears as Li Muchan carefully protected Zhu Qiqi. Although he had never met Shen Lang, relying on the Four Illuminations Magic Skill left by Shen Tianjun and the Finger of the Universe given by the Flying Swordsman, this man must not be allowed to make any mistakes and must be protected thoroughly.
Wang Lianhua smiled meaningfully upon seeing this, "If Shen Tianjun were still alive, he would be able to rest in peace knowing that he has a successor like you."
However, although they were moving fast, the white-robed swordsman did not catch up with them, but led those people to the other side.
"Where are we going now?" Li Muchan asked.
Wang Lianhua said in a deep voice, "Let's get rid of the pursuit first and see if we can find other broken islands."
Li Muchan hummed, but then turned around and asked, "Excuse me, Senior, where are Shen Lang and Panda Er?"
Wang Lianhua turned her back to Li Muchan and faced the sea of fog. She sighed lightly, "I don't know. They've been out for a while, looking for medicine for Zhu Qiqi, but they never came back and there's no news from them. If that weren't the case, why would I be so upset?"
Li Muchan sighed in agreement, "What a pity."
"What a shame?" Wang Lianhua asked without even turning her head. "What a shame?"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "If the two of them were here, perhaps we could join forces to take care of these people ."
Wang Lianhua only chuckled softly at this. "Boy, when you mentioned your suspicions just now, your expression changed slightly, with a hint of worry in your eyes. Could it be that among those people there is someone you're worried about? And what is your relationship with my granddaughter?"
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and said, "I can't explain it clearly."
Wang Lianhua snorted coldly, "No matter what your relationship is, if you bully her, I will not forgive you."
Thinking that at the end of his life, apart from Shen Lang and a few friends, he only had Gongzi Yu as his disciple, he thought he had no relatives , but he never thought that he still had descendants in this world.
As she thought about it, Wang Lianhua sighed again with mixed feelings, "I imagine this child must have had a very difficult life."
He is the son of King Kuaihuo and Wang Yunmeng, and is also an extremely evil person. After his debut, his hands are stained with blood and he has enemies all over the world. Therefore, it is a miracle that Li Yaoshi is still alive.
Wang Lianhua's heart was filled with emotion, especially at this moment. "Back then, we were all tired of the fighting in the martial arts world. Shen Lang was even more intent on resolving his feud with the Zhu family, thinking of escaping overseas and staying out of the world. But who could have imagined that Zhu Da deliberately approached us, causing us to suffer severe injuries. Zhu Qiqi almost died, Xiongmaoer and I were both seriously injured, and even Shen Lang was nearly doomed."
Li Muchan asked curiously, "Then how did you survive?"
Wang Lianhua let out a long breath and said in a complicated tone, "It was all thanks to Shen Lang's incredible talent that he broke through in the face of the enemy and cultivated the Mingyu Gong to perfection that we were able to escape danger."
Li Muchan lost his voice and asked, "Is Mingyu Gong fully accomplished?"
Wang Lianhua stood at the bow, as if recalling the scene from that year, and said quietly, "Yes... That kind of power is truly unprecedented in my life. But unfortunately, Zhu Da is no less powerful, with a blend of Eastern and Western martial arts, and his methods are even more incredible."
Li Muchan asked, "Who won in the end?"
Wang Lianhua shook her head. "I don't know. When martial arts have reached their level, victory or defeat is beyond the reach of ordinary warriors. Sometimes it might be decided by a single move, and other times the battle may last until there are no more moves left, no more strength left, and a fight to the death."
What he meant was that he had never witnessed the battle in person.
At this point, both of them fell silent again.
The boat cut through the waves for a good half an incense stick of time before Wang Lianhua suddenly called out, "There's a small island ahead. Let's go over there and take shelter."
Li Muchan raised his eyes when he heard the sound, and saw that the fog in front of him had unknowingly become thinner, and an island gradually came into view.
The wooden boat then docked, but just as Li Muchan was about to get off the boat and go to the island, something unexpected . A palm quietly turned like a dragon and landed firmly on his chest. Then the fingers stretched out like lightning, exerting all their strength on the fingers, and pointed out several times in succession.
“Puff, puff, puff…”
The fingers move in and out, bringing out a series of strange sounds.
Li Muchan was carrying Zhu Qiqi on his back, and before he could free his hands, he was hit hard on the chest. Several vital acupoints were impacted by the external force, and the breath in his chest and abdomen was turbulent. He groaned and staggered back several steps. When he stood still, the blood color on his face had disappeared.
Wang Lianhua calmly walked off the boat, looking at Li Muchan with some surprise, and said slowly, "Good boy, you are indeed a leader in the martial arts world today. You took my palm and even my five fingers, and you can still stand."
Li Muchan looked dejected, but he was extremely shocked and angry and shouted, "What are you doing?"
"Oh, what are you doing?" Wang Lianhua said with a playful smile, "Didn't I already do it? You're a martial arts master, but you don't understand the simple principle of being on guard against others? You possess two unparalleled martial arts? You're really wasting them."
Li Muchan's body swayed, and he stumbled to his knees. He asked in disbelief, "Aren't you Wang Lianhua?"
“No,” Wang Lianhua said expressionlessly, “I’m Wang Lianhua.”
At this moment, Li Muchan looked extremely weak and shaky, as if he had suffered a severe injury. "Then why are you still..."
Wang Lianhua looked up to the sky and breathed a sigh of relief, then chuckled softly, "Because people change. Boy, for the sake of my granddaughter, whom I've never met, I can spare your life. When everything is settled, I'll let you go."
Li Muchan struggled to stand up and asked, "Have Shen Lang and the others been murdered by you?"
Wang Lianhua shook her head, "How can that be possible? Shen Lang has already mastered his magical powers. I can't defeat him alone."
Li Muchan's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had guessed something. He asked in disbelief, "Could it be that you have teamed up with Zhu Da?"
Wang Lianhua's breath kept changing, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, as if she was very satisfied with Li Muchan's reaction, and then she lightly nodded her chin, "Not bad."
Li Muchan said hoarsely, "Aren't you two friends?"
Wang Lianhua's face inexplicably paled, and then she was silent for four or five breaths before she softly said, "We used to be friends."
He walked up to Li Muchan and pointed again, directly at his heart.
Li Muchan's face showed pain, as if he was really in pain, and then he fell down.
At this time, a voice came from the island, an old voice, "Well, this silly boy, it seems that even if he became the best in the world, he still has a kind heart. In order to save others, he actually didn't hesitate to sacrifice himself."
The voice was neither light nor heavy, a little hoarse, a little kind, and a little cynical.
Wang Lianhua asked coldly, "Is the medicine ready?"
The voice laughed and said, "It's done, of course it's done."
