Chapter 341: Chapter 62: Escaping Unscathed

After spending half a day in a standoff under the sea with Gu Chun, Chen Tang’s breath flowed smoothly, almost without any discomfort.

Back when he was cultivating with the East Sea Giant Demon in the deep seas, the pressure he endured was much greater than this.

After killing Gu Chun, Chen Tang clenched the back of the sword between his teeth, flailing his arms and legs, swiftly swimming towards the merchant ship.

Passing by a few fishing boats, Chen Tang retrieved the arrows lodged in the boats and secured them at his waist.

The fishing boats were empty.

When the pursuit caught up with the merchant ship, these hermits should have already boarded.

However, the sea around the fishing boats was stained red with blood, indicating that these hermits encountered some kind of interception when they boarded.

Chen Tang caught up with the merchant ship, and deployed the Gecko Wall-Climbing Technique, quickly climbing aboard.

The sound of weapons clashing came continuously from the direction of the ship’s deck.

Chen Tang picked up the Flood Dragon Bow, shouldered the quiver, and quickly dashed toward the front of the ship.

The Upper Concealment called ’Zhe Er’ was still locked in a fierce battle with Ye Yushi, completely dominating the fight.

Ye Yushi’s left arm was injured and unable to wield the Jade Flute.

In her hands, the Jade Flute not only disturbed opponents with its sound but also served as a weapon for striking acupuncture points.

Her inner qi was no match for her opponent’s, her left arm was injured, and without the Flute’s support, she was forced to retreat continuously, almost to the edge of the deck.

“I’m here to help you!”

Chen Tang charged in with his sword, shouting, “Watch my ultimate move!”

Zhe Er smirked coldly to himself.

A Fifth Grade Martial Artist, no matter what grand technique, posed no threat to him.

If not for the woman’s warning earlier, he would have already cut Chen Tang down!

Hearing the words ’ultimate move,’ Ye Yushi was stirred immediately, urging her inner qi to seal her ear aperture.

At this moment, as Chen Tang approached Zhe Er from behind, he raised his hand, executing the Divine Light Slash!

Zhe Er was startled.

This slash was indeed astonishingly fast!

No wonder this fellow could even kill a Middle Concealment of Fourth Grade.

After all, Zhe Er was a Third Grade Upper Concealment, his reaction speed was faster, and his body technique was more agile.

His figure flashed, ready to evade Chen Tang’s slash, then turn to retaliate.

At the moment Chen Tang struck, he also opened his mouth wide, letting out a piercing scream!

“Roar!”

This roar was extremely abrupt, like lightning tearing through the sky, with a majestic power to subdue a hundred beasts, deafening!

Zhe Er was impacted by this, unintentionally furrowing his brows, as a buzzing sounded in his ears, causing a slight disruption in both his body technique and sword skill.

Sound Strike Technique!

Zhe Er seemed to have heard someone mention that Chen Tang understood this martial art, but he hadn’t paid it much mind.

After all, a Fifth Grade Martial Artist, even if he unleashed the Sound Strike Technique, posed no threat to him.

Moreover, besides him, Ye Yushi was also present.

Once the Sound Strike Technique was unleashed, Ye Yushi would also be affected.

But he didn’t expect that Chen Tang and Ye Yushi shared a unique understanding.

When Chen Tang said ’watch my ultimate move,’ Ye Yushi immediately got it.

Under the Lion’s Roar, only he was affected.

Although the effect wasn’t substantial, he didn’t experience bewilderment or a blank mind, but there was a slight disruption in his body technique and sword skill, which Chen Tang and Ye Yushi both noticed.

Ye Yushi moved with her sword, sword qi surged, bursting forth with gleaming wisps, like a torrential downpour of a dense sword rain!

At the same time, Chen Tang’s blade was already upon him.

In an instant, the situation reversed, with Zhe Er’s life hanging by a thread!

He had no way to evade and had to make a decision.

The greatest threat to him still came from Ye Yushi upfront.

Zhe Er swung his long blade single-handedly, inner qi exploded, slashing out a seamless light screen in front of him.

At the same time, he raised his left hand, throwing a large volley of cross darts towards Chen Tang!

Clang clang clang!

Chen Tang’s eyes glinted brilliantly; in the Divine Illumination State he swung repeatedly, both deflecting the cross darts aimed at his face and ignoring those hitting his upper body, relying on the Flood Dragon Armor for defense.

Zhe Er barely fended off Ye Yushi’s counterattack.

But his cross darts failed to repel Chen Tang in the slightest.

Thud thud thud!

Zhe Er’s body was splattered with blood.

Except for the first few strokes deflected by the cross darts, the remaining nine all landed on him!

If not for his inner qi mitigating much of the damage, he would have already been chopped to the ground.

Zhe Er let out a pained cry, his inner qi in chaos, clearly feeling his strength waning.

He roared furiously, his expression wretched, turning to charge at Chen Tang behind him.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Ye Yushi’s sword rain poured down.

Zhe Er’s body instantly had over a dozen sword wounds, bleeding profusely.

Before he could reach Chen Tang, he barely took a few steps before he could no longer support himself, kneeling down, blood streaming from his mouth, slowly collapsing, dying with eyes wide open.

The fourth Upper Concealment was hacked to death by the joint efforts of Chen Tang and Ye Yushi, amidst a flurry of chaotic blades and swords!

“Are you hurt? What about Gu Chun?”

Ye Yushi let out a sigh of relief, looking Chen Tang over from head to toe.

“I slaughtered him.”

Chen Tang grinned.

By this point, the Elder Council’s power in Qianzhu City was almost completely uprooted by the two of them!

All four Upper Concealments were dead.

More than a hundred Guard Army members were entirely annihilated.

At this moment, the Shen Family’s merchant ship was far from the port; with the wind aiding them it was speeding up, disappearing into the vast night.

Many hermits chased to the port and, even if they boarded fishing boats, would find it very hard to catch up now.

The fishing boats near Qianzhu City’s port had no sails and could only fish in shallow waters nearby.

Chen Tang seemed to recall something and hurried towards the ship’s cabin.

Just now, while he was tangling with Gu Chun under the sea, some hermits had already boarded the ship.

These hermits hadn’t appeared at the bow, they should be in the cabin.

When Chen Tang entered the cabin, he found Shen Yu and the others unharmed.

Under Shen Yu’s arrangement, everyone on the ship was proceeding orderly, each performing their duties.

Chen Tang slightly furrowed his brow, asking, “Didn’t any hermits come just now?”

“Didn’t see any.”

Shen Yu shook his head, saying, “Maybe they didn’t catch up.”

Chen Tang searched the cabin thoroughly, up and down, indeed finding no anomalies, nor any sign of hermits.

Ye Yushi asked, “Is there anything unusual?”

Chen Tang didn’t answer, lost in thought.

After he killed Gu Chun, he saw the chasing fishing boats were empty.

Either these people had boarded, or…

Chen Tang recalled the patch of sea near the fishing boats, stained red with blood.

Perhaps those hermits were already dead, sunk to the sea bottom.

“It’s nothing.”

Chen Tang vaguely guessed a possibility, but did not speak it aloud, turning to Ye Yushi to ask, “How is your injury?”

“My left arm has no strength, I need some time to recover.”

Ye Yushi’s left arm had just been simply bandaged.

With the crisis now averted, Shen Yu couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Chen, what happened? Why did you attract the pursuit of the Upper Concealments?”

Chen Tang said, “Killed a disciple of an elder, along with some Guard Army members.”

Chen Tang spoke lightly, but Brother Yin and Xiao Pu were both shocked and terrified.

These people from the Divine Land were truly audacious, causing such a catastrophe by violently rampaging on the hermit’s territory.

Shen Yu, however, seemed unconcerned and even praised, “Brother Chen, you’re amazing, I’ve long disliked those hermits.”

Brother Yin couldn’t help but murmur, “Causing such a big problem, the Hermit Organization certainly won’t let this go. If you bring them back to Celestial Cauldron Continent, and the Military Lord finds out, we will all be blamed.”

Chen Tang contemplated for a moment, “We’ll disembark when we arrive at Celestial Cauldron Continent. When you return, say I forced you.”

“It’s nothing.”

Shen Yu said, “At worst, I’ll just be punished by my father. But Brother Chen, it seems I can no longer keep you by my side.”
