Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 259 Despicable

"What?"

Not to mention Ming Youlian and Fu Chaohun.

The jaws of Yi Lianxing, Qin Caihe, and Chu Xingmeng all dropped.

Jiang Fan, a Foundation Establishment, was going to escort a late-stage Core Formation powerhouse?

Was this a joke?

Yi Lianxing whispered, "Junior Brother Jiang, isn't it inappropriate to say that?"

As a teammate, she felt this statement was too absurd.

Jiang Fan calmly said, "No matter how strong a martial artist is, their lethality against underwater creatures is greatly reduced."

"In contrast, during the mating season, Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragons temporarily awaken a terrifying sonic ability."

"Even late-stage Core Formation powerhouses find it tricky to deal with."

The first half of his statement had Yi Lianxing nodding in agreement.

Humans could showcase their full strength against land-based demon beasts.

In the sky and underwater, it was difficult to exert full lethality.

Because one flew into the sky while the other dove into the water, many cultivation techniques couldn't effectively attack.

She was skeptical about the second half.

The Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon was an obscure demon beast, and she had only come across brief mentions in texts.

But her impression didn't include any descriptions of its sonic abilities.

Jiang Fan, an outsider, couldn't possibly know more than she, an insider, right?

She didn't believe it, let alone Fu Chaohun?

"Hahaha! You protect us?"

Fu Chaohun felt he had heard the biggest joke:

"Jiang Fan, oh Jiang Fan, what gives you such confidence?"

"To spout such ridiculous words!"

Ming Youlian's old face darkened, she glanced sideways at Jiang Fan: "Young man, I've seen insults, but never someone who insults others like you!"

"Protect me? What a joke!"

"I'll be watching closely to see how you cross the river!"

"Chaohun, let's go!"

Their convoy had already boarded the ships and was ready.

Fu Chaohun cast Jiang Fan a contemptuous glance, saying, "What a pity, you missed the only chance to cross the river!"

"Take the long way around, humph!"

As the sails were raised, their ship slowly headed out to the vast river.

Yi Lianxing sighed lightly.

If only they hadn't fallen out with each other.

Now, they had to take a route that added half a month to their journey.

But Jiang Fan said, "Borrow a ship, let's set off too."

"What?" Yi Lianxing was shocked: "Wouldn't that be very dangerous?"

She couldn't imagine a scenario without a powerful martial artist on board.

What if an adult Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon attacked them?

It could bite a ship in two with one snap.

Jiang Fan took out a large bottle of red pills and handed twenty each to the three women.

"This is called Three-step Drunk, and it is highly attractive to demon beasts."

"Once ingested, the demon beasts will fall unconscious within a few breaths."

"If we encounter any demon beasts later, just throw these pills into the water, and they will scramble for them."

Jiang Fan was confident about Three-step Drunk.

After all, even a heavenly spirit beast like the Little Qilin fell for it.

How could ordinary demon beasts resist its allure?

The three women accepted the pills with a mix of belief and doubt.

Not long after, they borrowed a large ship, loaded ten horse-drawn carriages, and set sail.

Chu Xingmeng was at the helm.

Qin Caihe patrolled anxiously around the ship's railing, clutching a red pill and observing the surroundings.

Yi Lianxing wasn't idle either.

She magically took out two palm-sized, sharp-eyed Black Hawks from her sleeve.

Highly intelligent, the hawks communicated with Yi Lianxing before soaring into the sky.

Circling the ship.

"If there's any underwater disturbance, my spirit beasts will alert me in time."

Yi Lianxing crossed her arms, but her face showed little relief.

Jiang Fan sat cross-legged at the bow of the ship.

A Black Sword lay horizontally on his knees, spiritual power surging through him, like a weapon ready to strike.

Everyone's nerves were taut.

Nobody dared to breathe heavily.

The only sounds were the gurgling of the ship slicing through the river and the splashing of waves against the hull.

Unknowingly.

They had crossed the center of the river, slowly moving toward the shore.

From the bow, they could clearly see the harbor on the riverbank.

With careful inspection, one could even spot faint human figures moving about.

Yi Lianxing slightly relaxed her tense nerves: "It seems we were lucky and didn't encounter the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon."

"These dragons prefer causing trouble in the deep parts; we've already passed the deepest area."

"If there are no surprises, we're safe."

Qin Caihe and Chu Xingmeng's faces, tight from tension, finally relaxed.

Qin Caihe laughed: "The Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon didn't come; we scared ourselves."

Chu Xingmeng took a few deep breaths.

Feeling more at ease.

She stood on the deck, observing further than the others.

Suddenly, she said with some doubt: "Is it my imagination?"

"Why do I feel like we're catching up to Fu Chaohun's ship?"

Hmm?

Yi Lianxing and Qin Caihe looked up.

Sure enough, they saw Fu Chaohun's ship growing clearer.

The river was vast and unobstructed.

They had seen Fu Chaohun's ship when they started out.

But at that time, it looked as small as an ant.

The distance between them was quite far.

But now, Fu Chaohun's ship was only a mile away.

Both were sailboats, wind-driven.

The speed should be the same.

How were they getting closer?

"Go around!"

At this moment, Jiang Fan suddenly stood up at the bow and said urgently.

Chu Xingmeng was puzzled, she adjusted the ship's direction, confused: "But, the harbor is directly ahead."

Yi Lianxing and Qin Caihe also looked puzzled.

They were almost ashore, why change direction?

Jiang Fan said in a deep voice, "It's not that we're fast; they encountered trouble and couldn't move forward!"

Trouble?

The three women's nerves, which had just relaxed, suddenly tightened.

They all thought of the same thing!

The Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon!

Fu Chaohun's ship was attacked by the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon!

Chu Xingmeng shuddered and quickly turned the rudder, steering the ship off its direct course.

Not long after.

They maneuvered to the left of Fu Chaohun's ship.

Several hundred feet apart.

They could now see what was happening on the ship!

The mast was damaged, and the cabin was smashed.

Horses were torn to pieces by some unknown beast, their entrails scattered everywhere.

The accompanying demon beasts suffered even worse fates.

Countless streams of blood flowed from the deck into the water.

Turning the water around the ship blood-red!

The shocking scene caused the three women's pupils to contract!

What made their hearts race even more.

A horse leg floating in the blood.

Suddenly got pulled down by something unknown, creating huge ripples.

Then the water rippled and waves arose.

Apparently, something was fighting over the horse leg!

Yi Lianxing exclaimed: "Red-Scaled… um…"

Jiang Fan quickly covered her mouth, then gestured to the stunned Qin Caihe and Chu Xingmeng to keep quiet.

Speaking in a low voice: "The Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon relies on hearing; don't make any noise."

"Leave quickly while they haven't noticed us!"

Chu Xingmeng suppressed her fear, gripping the rudder to keep the ship moving at a steady pace.

They watched as they gradually moved away from Fu Chaohun's ship, while the group of Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragons swam in the blood around it.

Gradually, everyone began to relax.

If this continued.

They could escape this disaster.

However.

Just as they were about to be safe.

A head cautiously emerged from the broken cabin.

It was none other than the hiding Fu Chaohun!

He saw Jiang Fan's ship and was overjoyed, waving urgently!

Qin Caihe noticed and exclaimed, "Fu Chaohun is still alive!"

"Should we save them?"

Before Jiang Fan could speak.

Yi Lianxing firmly said, "Are you crazy?"

"The ship is so damaged; even Elder Ming Youlian couldn't handle it, and we don't even know if he's alive!"

"If we go, it's suicide."

Jiang Fan said coldly, "Keep going, don't stop."

If they had been friendlier before.

Given that they were all fighting the Beast Tide, he would have tried to help.

But they had nothing but malice towards Jiang Fan.

Why should he risk his life to save them?

In the ruined cabin.

Fu Chaohun watched Jiang Fan's ship sail away without stopping, infuriated:

"Dare you leave me to die?"

"Fine! If I die, you won't have peace either!"
