Chapter 107 Unexpected Events
On the large passenger ship at the rear, Lin Zhennan and his wife, Qu Feiyan, Long Kui and others were standing at the bow, looking out at the battle ahead.
Qu Feiyan jumped up and down excitedly: "Young man, you're amazing! You snatched those Japanese samurai swords from them in one go! Hahaha, look at their faces, they're as white as ghosts with fear!"
Lin Zhennan nodded with a smile, his eyes full of pride.
Madam Wang was also full of satisfaction: "Ping'er is becoming more and more like a master."
Before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred ahead!
The lake surface exploded, and four figures burst out of the water, while a large net descended from the sky! Immediately afterward, another giant net was cast from the large ship, covering the small boat completely in all directions!
Madam Wang's expression changed drastically: "Ping'er!"
Lin Zhennan's heart leaped into his throat. Born in Fuzhou, he knew a lot about Japanese pirates and naturally recognized that it was a net specifically designed to capture martial arts masters—once caught, it was difficult to tear open, and some special fishing nets were even impervious to swords and knives, often causing even top masters to surrender!
"Oh no!" he cried urgently. "Boatman, hurry! Faster!"
The boatman rowed frantically, and the large ship sped forward.
Qu Feiyan's smile remained unchanged: "Uncle Lin, don't worry, my little brother will be fine. I have faith in him."
She thought to herself that with the young man's agility, it wouldn't be difficult for him to dodge the net. If he didn't dodge, it would mean he was fearless, so she wasn't worried.
Long Kui remained leaning against the ship's railing, her bright red dress fluttering in the wind, her expression indifferent, as if Shi Potian's crisis had nothing to do with her.
He only scrutinized the mist-shrouded moon hidden on the large ship.
She saw a chilling smile appear on Wuyin Yuecang's face.
Then, she saw Shi Potian raise his right hand.
A red glow appeared in his palm.
Longkui's pupils suddenly contracted.
The red light was as red as fire, and even though she was several dozen feet away on the lake, she could almost feel its scorching heat!
"This is……"
She muttered to herself, a look of shock appearing in her eyes for the first time.
The next moment, a blazing crimson flame blade swept out!
The fishing net that had been trapping people was torn apart instantly, like paper, before the fiery blade energy.
Qu Feiyan was stunned; her mouth was agape enough to fit an egg.
Lin Zhennan and his wife were also stunned. They looked at each other and saw shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Is that martial arts, young man?"
"Could Ping'er really be a celestial being descended to earth?" Lin Zhennan couldn't help but ask.
"Could it really be sorcery?" Madam Wang murmured.
Longkui leaned against the ship's railing, watching the boy break through the net. His figure, with his robes fluttering, landed on the large ship, resembling the Third Prince riding on his Wind Fire Wheels.
However, she was, after all, a peerless master, unlike her ignorant companions.
"Flame Blade..." she murmured the name, recalling the records in her family's books. This was an unparalleled secret technique of Tantric Buddhism, extremely difficult to master. Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, a Tibetan national master mastered it and used it to sweep across the snowy region and conquer the Central Plains.
This skill requires extremely high internal strength. After Lin Shao, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), absorbed her heat poison, his skill improved so much that he actually mastered this divine skill.
Why would the Fuwei Escort Agency possess esoteric Buddhist techniques?
This young镖头 (bodyguard/escort) Lin is becoming more and more mysterious.
Qu Feiyan finally came to her senses, jumping and waving her arms excitedly, shouting, "Big brother is amazing! I knew you had a way. You thought you could trap my big brother with a tattered fishing net?"
She looked at the Japanese warriors thrashing about in the water and laughed loudly, "I'll scald you to death, roast you alive!"
He waved his hand in front of his nose as he spoke, "Ugh, I can smell burnt human flesh. Ugh, ugh, it stinks."
The large ship continued forward, gradually approaching the large Japanese ship.
At the bow of the ship, Shi Potian stood facing the wind, his clothes fluttering in the breeze.
Opposite her, the Japanese woman instinctively stepped back, her hand on the hilt of her sword, but her hand was trembling slightly.
The outcome is decided.
Wuyinyuecang took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
"Young Master Lin truly possesses unfathomable abilities." She spoke slowly, her voice no longer carrying the confidence it had before.
"Today's events are due to the inferior skills of my Wuyin family. Sarutobi Higetsu's life will be temporarily entrusted to Young Master Escort."
Turn the page, and you'll find yourself in another world.
Shi Potian nodded: "That's the right way, young lady. If you can't beat someone, don't fight, otherwise you'll just be throwing away lives for nothing."
Wu Yin Yue Cang glared angrily, her icy face almost losing its composure.
He took a few deep breaths silently, then forced a smile and said, "Young Master Lin, I'll remember you. If I have the chance in the future, I'd like to learn from your skills again."
She turned and walked towards the cabin, took two steps, then turned back to look at Sarutobi Hiyori on the small boat.
"Sarutobi Sun and Moon," she said coldly, "you've found a good backer. But the Lord is about to unify Japan. No matter how powerful you are, young镖头, can you stand against the entire Japan? I advise you not to mislead yourself and others."
The hatch closed.
The Japanese warriors on the small boat and in the water felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly climbed back onto the large ship.
The large ship slowly turned around, hoisted its sails, and sailed away.
As Sarutobi Higetsu stood on the small boat, watching the receding silhouette of the ship, his legs gave way and he knelt down.
"My lord...my lord has saved my life again, I..."
Shi Potian jumped back onto his own ship: "I'm not your lord. Come aboard and get your medicine. You're badly injured."
Longkui leaned against the ship's railing, watching the monkeys fly to the sun and moon, and the distant mist-hidden moon, lost in thought.
"Hidden in the mist, concealed by the moon... I will unify Japan!"
Longkui's expression was extremely solemn.
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief when they saw the Japanese pirates' large ship retreat in disarray.
Qu Feiyan was the first to rush to the side of the boat, looking up at Shi Potian standing at the bow with her bright eyes like the stars in the sky: "Big brother, your flaming blade move just now was amazing! It was like magic, is that really martial arts?"
Madam Wang rushed forward, looking him up and down, afraid that he was even slightly injured: "Ping'er, are you alright? You scared your mother to death."
"Mother, I'm fine." Shi Potian shook his head. "Their net can't trap me."
"It's good that you're safe, it's good that you're safe." Lin Zhennan sighed repeatedly. "Don't be so reckless in the future. Once you're trapped in the net, even a god can't escape the calamity."
Longkui simply leaned against the ship's railing, quietly watching Shi Potian with a smile.
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Sarutobi Higetsu staggered aboard the large ship and went to the cabin to treat his injuries.
The large ship corrected its course and continued to sail steadily on the lake.
A gentle spring breeze caressed my face, and the water rippled. The danger I had just faced seemed like nothing more than a brief ripple on the lake.
Qu Feiyan chattered around Shi Potian, asking about the moves he had just used and laughing at the disheveled appearance of the Japanese warriors. The atmosphere on the ship was relaxed and cheerful.
Lin Zhennan and his wife smiled as they watched the two being affectionate.
Not long after they had gone, another large ship appeared in the distance on the lake. The ship was wide and flew ordinary flags; it was neither the Japanese pirate ship they had seen before, nor did it look like an ordinary merchant ship.
The two boats gradually approached each other and passed each other.
Shi Potian glanced around casually and saw many figures on the ship, among whom were several familiar auras. He felt a slight stirring in his heart, but didn't pay much attention to it.
Everyone was just attending the handwashing event and heading home by water, so it was perfectly normal for them to run into each other on Dongting Lake.
Just as the two boats were about to pass each other...
A shrill scream from a woman suddenly erupted from the opposite cabin!
"Help—!! Young镖头 (Young Master Escort), save me—!"
The sound was crisp and clear, filled with boundless excitement and hope, as if someone had found a lifeline in despair.
Shi Potian's body trembled.
That sound...
He turned his head sharply, his gaze like lightning, and stared straight at the cabin of the large ship opposite.
The next moment, a woman struggled to stick her head out of the cabin window.
Eyes facing each other.
The woman also saw him.
Tears welled up even more fiercely, her voice trembled, and she almost cried out:
"Brother Lin, it's me! Zhang Yuanying, please save me! They're going to kill me and my brother."
Shi Potian was suddenly startled.
It turned out to be—Zhang Yuanying.
The men holding her captive were dressed in rags and looked like beggars. How could beggars have a large ship?
Looking inside, they indeed saw Young Master Zhang and Venerable Jin Guang, but they were both in a sorry state, no longer possessing the brilliance they had displayed at the handwashing ceremony.
Without thinking twice, Shi Potian was about to leap onto the large ship opposite to rescue the people.
The lake, which had just calmed down, was filled with murderous intent again.
