Chapter 117 Utter Defeat
Two screams echoed across the lake, startling the water birds into taking flight.
No one had any idea what had happened.
The man in the straw hat was indeed a formidable figure. He covered his left eye tightly with one hand, trembling all over from the pain. Blood gushed out from between his fingers, instantly staining half of his face red!
But without hesitation, he swung the white python whip with all his might, and with a "snap," it wrapped around the side of his own ship, using the force to pull him back! While in mid-air, he swung the white python whip again, and with a "snap," it wrapped around the waist of the Great Wheel King who was clutching his face and screaming in pain!
The Great Wheel King was covering his mouth and screaming in pain as he fell downwards when he was swept away and sent flying back!
"Bang!" "Bang!"
With two muffled thuds, the two men fell onto the ship one after the other, looking utterly disheveled.
The man in the straw hat pulled a needle from his left eye, followed by another bloodcurdling scream.
"My eyes!"
"My eyes! I can't see!"
It turned out that when he flicked away the needle-shaped hidden weapon, an embroidery needle flew from somewhere at the same time, silently and unexpectedly, hitting his left eyeball.
The timing of this man's actions was extremely clever. He silently followed behind the hidden weapon in front of him, and just when the man thought he had deflected the weapon, the surprise attack came out, and it was too late for him to dodge.
The embroidery needle pierced his eyeball deeply, and he was about to become a one-eyed man.
The Great Wheel King sat on the deck, his mouth full of blood, wincing in pain, a black needle clutched in his hand.
In the blink of an eye, the blood turned black.
He was shocked and stood up, yelling at Shi Potian, "You brat, you even injected poison into the needle, ugh...?"
As she continued speaking, she couldn't go on, and in the blink of an eye, her upper and lower lips swelled up like sausages.
It turned out that the black needle had just pierced through his upper and lower lips, sewing his mouth shut. Now that it had been removed, the poison had taken effect, causing his mouth to swell so much that he couldn't open it.
He opened his mouth as if to call out, but could only let out muffled sobs!
The scene was gruesome, with black blood dripping everywhere.
Just then, with another bang, another person fell off the ship. Upon closer inspection, it was Xie Feng.
It turned out that Jie Feng, Luo Sanwan, Qinglian and Bailian, and Zhang Jin'ao, the five of them, had rushed towards the ship one after another, but they were shocked to see the two great masters in front of them suddenly screaming and retreating.
"What's going on!"
"Watch out for hidden weapons! They've been hit by hidden weapons!"
The five people were filled with surprise and doubt, and their breath caught in their throats—
Right at this moment!
Suddenly, two figures rushed forward!
The Sarutobi Nichigetsu sword was drawn, its blade flashing like snow, and it cleaved through the three bowls of Luo Sanwan!
Master Jin Guang, wielding a long sword, swept across the two envoys, Qinglian and Bailian!
"Give me your life!"
Although Sarutobi Higetsu was injured, he was extremely excited at this moment, and his slash was as powerful as wind and thunder!
Luo Sanwan was shocked and quickly raised his knife to block. With a loud "clang", the two of them were jolted! He was already distracted, and the knife made his hands go numb. He lost his footing and fell straight into the lake!
"Thump!"
The King of the Western Sea Swords has fallen into the water again!
On the other side, Master Jin Guang unleashed a sweeping attack with his Emei sword technique, "Black Swamp Spirit Fox," and the two envoys, Qinglian and Bailian, hurriedly raised their swords to block—they had switched to longswords to fight because they were wary of Shi Potian's Flaming Blade.
When one attacks the enemy's strengths with one's own weaknesses, and is flustered and confused, how can one be a match for the decades-long skill of Master Jin Guang, especially since one has only recently climbed out of the water.
With two sharp clangs, the two longswords flew out of their hands at the same time!
With a muffled groan, the two followed in Luo Sanwan's footsteps and plunged straight into the lake once more!
"Splash!" "Splash!"
Two more splashes!
Can one person fall into the same lake twice? The answer is yes, and even three people at the same time.
The two leaders of the Beggars' Sect were shocked to see their side suffer a crushing defeat.
Jie Fengren, suspended in mid-air, watched as Shi Potian waited for him with an air of composure, and was immediately at a loss for what to do.
Shi Potian laughed and said, "Two gang leaders, if you want the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, I'll show you."
He took a step back, slightly bent his left leg, bent his right arm inward, drew a circle with his right palm, and with a whoosh, pushed upward.
It is precisely the "Regretful Dragon Soaring" move from the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.
"roar--!"
Amidst a deafening dragon's roar, the palm force transformed into an invisible raging wave, crashing down upon Jie Feng who was charging downwards!
When Jie Feng saw the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, a technique lost for hundreds of years, coming towards him, he was both shocked and furious.
He hurriedly raised his palm to meet the attack, unleashing a "Flying Dragon in the Sky" strike.
At the same time, he wielded the dog-beating stick rapidly to protect his vital points and guard against the invisible hidden weapon's sneak attack.
The palms collided with a loud "boom," and Xie Feng's white hair flew wildly from the force of the palm strike. Flying Dragon in the Sky was no match for Dragon in Regret, and he was blasted back onto the ship by the palm strike, crashing onto the deck.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zhang Jin'ao withdrew his attack and returned to his small boat to rescue people. He spent the entire day rescuing people from the water.
Jie Feng stood up, looking at everything before him, and could hardly believe his eyes.
With all seven of their top fighters deployed, in the blink of an eye, one lost an eye, another's mouth was swollen like a sausage, a truly gruesome sight. Three more were thrown back into the lake, each more pathetic than the last.
This battle was a complete defeat.
He turned his head again to look at Shi Potian—
The boy remained standing at the bow of the boat, hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering, smiling at him as if what had just happened was merely a game he had played casually.
Qu Feiyan poked her head out of the cabin, laughing so hard she almost fell over:
"Hahaha! Serves you right for not following the rules of the underworld! Now one of you is a one-eyed bastard, and the other has his mouth sewn shut! You've completely lost face. Let's see how arrogant you can be now!"
Zhang Yuanying also came out, and seeing the miserable state of the two people opposite her, she laughed heartily: "Oh my, I didn't expect Sister Long to be so good at embroidery! One is right in the eye, the other in the mouth, she doesn't favor anyone!"
Longkui leaned against the boat window, a smile playing on her lips, and said, "I dare not take credit. I shot the eyes out in the chaos. As for the mouth, I didn't sew it up."
Zhang Yuanying asked, "Who shot that? Does Brother Lin also have an embroidery needle?"
Qu Feiyan laughed and said, "Fool, didn't you see that the monk was poisoned? That needle is no ordinary needle; it's my Black Blood Divine Needle."
"Black Blood Divine Needle?"
Luo Sanwan called out from the water, "Black Blood Divine Needle, who are you to Qu Yang?"
Qu Feiyan ignored them.
Looking at the disheveled scene opposite him, Shi Potian said seriously:
"Chief Jie, shall we continue fighting?"
Jie Feng opened his mouth, then finally slumped down and lowered the dog-beating stick.
"I'm not fighting anymore."
He gritted his teeth and said, word by word.
On the lake, Luo Sanwan and the two envoys, Qinglian and Bailian, were pulled out, soaking wet and in a sorry state.
On the ship, the man in the straw hat was still bleeding from one eye and needed medical attention. The Great Wheel King needed an antidote; how could they continue fighting?
"However, the Great Wheel King has been poisoned by you. Please provide the antidote. Once we have the antidote, we will leave immediately. You can release Elder Bai and the others later."
Shi Potian wasn't afraid of the other party going back on their word; he could simply fight them off again. So, Chongqu Feiyan gestured for him to receive the antidote.
Qu Feiyan knew that Shi Potian was kind-hearted and did not want to kill anyone, so she had no choice but to obey and throw the antidote over to him.
The ship slowly turned around and slunk away towards Junshan.
The sails of Shi Potian's ship were billowing in the wind as they continued forward, moving faster and faster until they gradually disappeared into the horizon.
