Start with the fisherman

Chapter 125 Old Fox

Liang Wencai was a little dazed, and his slightly narrowed eyes were filled with coldness.

That guy's strength is much stronger than he expected.

He had also seen half-step grandmasters, but the man just now was obviously not an ordinary half-step grandmaster. At least, he was much stronger than the half-step grandmasters he had seen before!
Close the study door and go behind the desk.

Now looking back at the poem that Hong'er wrote when he broke through, he felt complicated for a moment.

"Dad, what this person said makes sense."

The curtain of the lounge in the study was drawn aside, and Liang Hong, dressed in a green robe, walked out.

Liang Hong has a unique temperament, with both the elegance of a scholar and the fortitude of a warrior. His fingers are slender and powerful, and every movement he makes seems so calm, as if he is conversing with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. One has to admit that some people are born to be loved by heaven and earth.

He is not only the pride of the island owner, but also the future hope of the entire island.

Liang Wencai looked up at his son, who he knew at first glance was not an ordinary person, and shook his head, "The buyer hasn't even made an offer yet, and you're in a hurry to get on the table?"

"This is not the difference between selling high and selling low. If we make the wrong choice, not only you and I, but everyone on the island will be buried with us!"

"But who are those people, Dad, don't you know?"

Liang Hong frowned, "They will really kill us!"

Liang Wencai laughed, "They won't!"

"I know Dad wants them to fight it out before placing the bet, but if we do that, we'll lose the upper hand."

As a genius alchemist, Liang Hong was no fool, but he still looked at his father and said seriously, "If we do that, we will never be able to become 'one of our own'!"

"Who said I should place my bet after they decide the winner?"

Liang Wencai was very happy that his son could think of this, and naturally he was more willing to enlighten him.

Liang Hong frowned even deeper, obviously this was beyond his understanding.

"Tomorrow we will go to the Red Apricot and tell them everything about the man in black robe."

Liang Wencai never stops making shocking statements and raises the stakes again.

"Why is it the Demon-Subduing Division?" Liang Hong asked the question that was in his mind.

"Why not the Demon Exorcist Department?"

Liang Wencai asked in return, "Is it more valuable to give timely assistance or to add icing on the cake?"

"But if the Demon Subduing Division loses in the end, won't we be left with nothing? We may even become enemies with those people because of this."

Liang Hong understood what his father meant.

But that's gambling.

"Hong'er, you are a genius, your future is limitless!"

"Would you rather follow those people and hide here and there all day, or go to Xuanbao Pavilion, where you will have teachers to teach you, enough herbs to practice with, and powerful warriors to protect you?"

“Sometimes the development of the tail of a phoenix may not be worse than that of the head of a chicken!”

"But you have to go to Xuanbao Pavilion."

Liang Hong was still puzzled.

It wasn't that he insisted on joining those people, he was just simply confused.

"Hong'er, you still don't understand."

Liang Wencai shook his head, reached out to pick up the calligraphy on the table, sat down on the armchair behind the desk, put his hands on the armrests, looked into the distance with his head raised and chest puffed out, like a general who was winning a battle thousands of miles away.

"If the Demon Subduing Division wins, everything we do today will be the sharpest weapon on our road to success in the future!"

“If the Demon Subduing Department really only sent a little fellow in the Refining Organ Realm and the whole army was wiped out, what would happen then?”

"They themselves said that if you go there, you will be the only alchemist among them who can refine the Dirty Pill!"

"Would they be willing to kill you?"

"Then what's the difference between us going there now?"

……

The Whaler, captain's cabin.

After becoming the captain, Cao Ze naturally would not compromise himself. The captain's room is hundreds of square meters, which is enough for Cao Ze to move around in it. Whether he is practicing swordsmanship or the Fish and Dragon Body Tempering Technique, or doing interesting things in the lounge behind the training room, it is more than enough.

【Wu Fu:
Cultivation: Twelve-level Body Forging
Fish Dragon Transformation (Bone Forging): Perfect (12886/40960)

Snowfall Knife (Potential): Not yet mastered (113/1000)

Strike the Sea (Momentum): Minor Success (384/3200)

Wind Shadow Step: Perfection
Five Elements Internal Medicine (Liver): Fusion (100%)

Love Point: 7140】

Glancing at the love points, Cao Ze felt a little regretful. If he had enough points to raise his cultivation to the thirteenth level of body forging, it would naturally be a better choice.

But the situation is critical now and we can’t wait any longer.

"Ji Canghai, give me some points!"

As his thoughts turned, Cao Ze's eyes blurred, and in a flash he found himself in a vast sea with surging waves and surging tides. Even the sky and the earth changed color. He stood still, standing at the crest of the tide, as if he had become one with the storm.

At this moment, his mind was connected with the breath between heaven and earth, reaching an unprecedented state of emptiness.

Without any unnecessary movements, he just stood there quietly.

The comprehension of sword momentum is different from sword techniques. Practicing sword techniques more often will naturally lead to improvement, but sword momentum requires a flash of inspiration from somewhere. If you understand it, you understand it. If you don't, then it will be useless even if you practice for a lifetime.

Suddenly, Cao Ze opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, piercing the storm before him.

He tightly grasped the long knife in his hand, took a deep breath, and then swung the knife out.

This sword seemed to have gathered all the power between heaven and earth. In an instant, the power of heaven and earth swarmed towards the long sword, as vast and boundless as the ocean, and surging.

Swish!
The knife flashed, and suddenly the sky and the earth changed color. The surging waves were silent for a moment, and a gap several feet wide suddenly appeared on the sea surface ahead, like a pencil drawing that had been erased with an eraser.

At this moment, Cao Ze felt unprecedented power and freedom. He seemed to have become the master of the sea, controlling the endless waves and power. He knew that his sword skills had reached the highest level, both the power and realm had reached a new height.

He opened his eyes and the knife force slowly dissipated.

The gap in the sea in front of them could not be filled for a long time, as if there was still an invisible force binding them.

This is the power of the Dacheng sword!

Return to the training room and call out the panel again.

Looking at the remaining loving spots, Cao Ze could only sigh, wishing he could be given enough time.

Too bad he didn't have a choice.

He thought again of the bold idea he had a few days ago.

Without hesitation, the mind moves again,
"Xue Luo Dao, give me some more!"

Cao Ze stood in the training room for a long time like a sculpture, and only opened his eyes again after he had improved his Snowfall Sword Power to the minor success level.

He swung the long sword in his hand, and it really looked like snowflakes falling down in the air, seemingly harmless.

But Cao Ze, who had opened his sea-viewing vision, could see that after this knife attack, a line suddenly appeared in his vision.

Another knife.

There was another line in the field of vision.

One cut after another, one cut after another...

In a blink of an eye, Cao Ze's vision was filled with dense lines.

If it was just a line, there might not be much change. But at this moment, although there was nothing abnormal, the entire training room was filled with a depressing atmosphere, as if even the air was as heavy as a lead block, making it difficult to breathe.

It's like being on a sea covered with dark clouds, with thunder rumbling in the sky, as if a bolt of thunder may strike at any time, making people feel extremely anxious all day long.

Cao Ze stopped swinging the knife.

At this point, he had reached his limit.

If he continued to swing the sword, he would have to activate the Snowfall Sword's accumulated power to strike, detonating all the lines that had just accumulated. By then, this training room would probably be destroyed.

After a pause, Cao Ze swung his knife again.

However, this time, he used the Whale Hunting Breaking Technique. Each of his sword strikes landed at the intersection of the lines, breaking the original balance and returning them to heaven and earth.

Soon, the scene in front of Cao Ze became clear again.

At this time, sweat was already on his forehead, and it was obvious that this operation was not so easy for him.

But it made him very excited.

Unlike before when he could only rely on instinct to accumulate strength, now that he has understood the principle, he can make more attempts.

Since the essence of a charged attack by the Snowfall Knife is to leave a trail of its own between heaven and earth by swinging the knife again and again, then, if it is also a swing of the knife, a light swing is still a swing of the knife, and a swing that strikes the sea, why can't it leave a trail of its own?

He did it as soon as he thought of it. He raised his hand and a dazzling silver light lit up in the training room. The entire world in the training room moved with this knife, binding the heaven and earth, pushing the knife's force, and slashing out a shocking blow.

After Ji Cang Hai was fully developed, its power was incomparable.

But Cao Ze frowned.

Striking the Sea was originally a heavy burst of sword power. When it was launched, the situation of the entire world would be mobilized to help this sword. However, it also disrupted Cao Ze's plan to leave behind his own sword power.

Perhaps you can slowly increase the power of this knife, carefully feel the feeling of leaving a knife mark, and make it your instinct to leave a knife mark when you swing it.

Cao Ze did not give up because of a failure. He summed up the failure just now, thought for a while, and swung the knife again...

Sure enough, after no longer using Ji Canghai, this time Cao Ze saw the sudden line in his view of the sea.

Swing the knife again, carefully experience the feeling, then increase the power and continue swinging the knife...

Swinging the knife again and again...

Su Xiaozhi, who had just taken a shower and changed her clothes, came to the lounge wearing white stockings and a suspender skirt.

Originally, she was planning to continue discussing life and ideals with Cao Ze.

But after seeing Cao Ze immersed in the swordsmanship, she quietly stood in the corner of the training room, sat cross-legged on the floor, holding her chin with both hands, staring at Cao Ze who was practicing the swordsmanship, her eyes full of shining little stars.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, a silver light appeared in the training room.

There was an extra line in Cao Ze's eyes!
Soon, there were silver rays of light one after another...

Hahahaha...

Hearty laughter spread throughout the training room. The combination of Xueluodao and Ji Canghai was simpler than he had imagined.

Although he did not detonate all the lines in the end and complete the charged attack of the Snowfall Knife, he could already foresee what a devastating blow it would be.

If he encountered Yuwen Qilong’s Phoenix Nirvana again now, perhaps he would not need to use the Magic Heart Ferry anymore!

After receiving it, Cao Ze felt extremely refreshed.

Then, he saw Su Xiaozhi sitting on the floor staring at him in a trance...

……

The morning sun jumped out of the sea, dyeing the obstructing clouds a brilliant golden color.

With his back to the rising sun, Liang Wencai led a group of people and walked towards the Red Star anchored in the port with high spirits.

The gorgeous golden clouds still shone brightly, illuminating the way forward for the group, as if foreshadowing something, making Liang Wencai feel much brighter.

"Master Hong Xing, a half-step master of the pirates has arrived and is on the island!"

When he saw Hong Xing, Liang Wencai got straight to the point and told her everything just as he had planned.

"We are naturally on the side of Master Hong Xing, but that half-step master is not someone you can easily deal with. Does Master have any plan to deal with him?"

After saying that, he looked at Hong Xing eagerly, his eyes full of anxiety and worry, as if he really had a sincere heart.

"Half-step Grandmaster?"

Hong Xing muttered to herself, then nodded calmly, "I understand!"

Seeing Hong Xing's reaction, Liang Wencai was certain in his heart that if he could go to Xuanbao Pavilion, he naturally didn't want to hide from those rude pirates, so he reached out and took out a porcelain bottle from his arms.

"To be honest, I have already successfully refined the Zang-Refining Pill a few days ago, but that thief has been on the island all the time, so I dare not act rashly."

Handing the porcelain bottle to Hong Xing, Liang Wencai continued, "My Lord, you have come all the way here to pick me up. I have no way to repay you. This bottle of Lianzang Pill is just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't refuse it!"

Hong Xing glanced at the old fox indifferently, knowing what was going on.

If she had shown any sign of timidity just now, the other party would not have taken out this bottle of Lianzang Pill.

In that case, she didn't hesitate to take the porcelain bottle. "Well, the island owner is so kind, I will not refuse it."

"Where, where..."

Liang Wencai put on a smile, and naturally understood that the woman in front of him was not someone who could be easily fooled.

"I hope Lord Hong Xing can deal with that villain as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a hidden danger. I and the people of the entire island will be in a state of panic all day long and unable to sleep or eat."

Liang Wencai couldn't help but remind him again, and then he clasped his fists towards Hong Xing, "Then I'll take my leave first!"

Hong Xing nodded.

Watched Liang Wencai and his group leave the meeting room.

"Wait!"

At this moment, a figure blocked the door of the conference room.

"Since you are here, why don't you stay for a while?"

Cao Ze looked at Liang Wencai with a smile. He had been there for a while so he naturally knew what had happened.

It's not easy for this old fox to bet on both sides.

As he spoke, Cao Ze had already walked towards Hong Xing.

Liang Wencai wanted to leave, but the other three warriors in the Refining Organ Realm who came with Hong Xing had already surrounded Liang Wencai and his group.

Liang Wencai frowned, feeling that something was wrong. What puzzled him even more was that this little guy who looked a little too young, didn’t the intelligence say that he was only a warrior at the Bone Tempering Realm?

Why would these guys in the Refining Organ Realm listen to him?

Cao Ze came to Hong Xing and whispered a few words to her. Hong Xing's eyes became brighter and brighter. Then, she looked at Liang Wencai and his party, "Since the island master is sincere in joining the Demon Subduing Division, then stay here. We will set sail tonight and return to Cape City!"

"But, the dog is still on the island?"

Liang Wencai felt that something was wrong more and more, but he still couldn't understand what Cao Ze had said to Hong Xing.

Hong Xing's mouth curled up slightly, and her bright red lips formed a gorgeous arc. "That's why we need the island owner to give us a token. When the time comes, we will send someone to pick you up."

"But what about that pirate half-step master?"

Liang Wencai seemed to have guessed something, but this was somewhat different from what he thought. He did want to join Xuanbao Pavilion more, but he didn't want to risk everything. If he went with Hong Xing now, wouldn't he be completely tied up?
"I am doing this for the good of the island owner and the noble young master."

Hong Xing spoke slowly and said, "As long as we leave, the Half-Step Grandmaster will naturally chase us. Then, won't the young master and the islanders be safe?"
