Insidious provocation
Donglai City, above the East Gate.
All the high-ranking figures in Donglai City were seated at more than ten tables on the tall and majestic tower, watching the ninety-two top martial arts masters from Donglai County fight against the sea beast masters in the tidal waves.
Most of them, the biological children or family members of the adults, participated in the rafting party, so they were naturally very interested in watching it.
Li Zhouying, the princess of Donglai County, sat in the front seat, sipping a glass of wine alone. Tonight's rafting party, his eldest son did not attend, and there was nothing interesting to see.
The person at the head of the left table was a general with a fierce face, a beard and armor.
But he was in high spirits, drinking wine from a large bowl, pointing toward the sea with the adults around him, and bursting into laughter from time to time.
"General Pan! My son Pan Yun is so brave. In just a short time, he has already charged six waves and killed six sea beasts! I'm afraid he can break last year's record!"
"The nickname Pan Yun and Pan Jingjiao is well-deserved. A golden dragon mystical spear makes him master the magic. It is the true legacy of General Pan!"
The heads of the families at the banquet nearby all praised him one after another.
"Haha, my boy is honest and loyal. He usually keeps quiet, but he will show off this time. He can only charge once, but he doesn't have enough stamina. It's hard to say whether he can break last year's record."
Pan Dahai laughed loudly, picked up the large bowl of wine, and drank it all in one gulp. He kept denying it, but there was a look of pride in his eyes.
Donglai County is an important town near the sea. The navy of Canglan Kingdom, which has 30,000 elite naval troops that can only be mobilized by a monarch, is stationed in Donglai City.
The general who leads this naval force is Pan Dahai. In addition, the Pan family is also one of the big families in Donglai County. He is one of the most powerful figures in Donglai County, second only to Li Zhouying, the owner of Donglai County.
Cao Hao, the dean of Donglai County, has unfathomable personal strength and is known as the "Jiuwuhou", but he has no military power and can only rank third in Donglai County.
In previous years, Li Hao, the eldest son of Li Zhouying, the princess of Donglai County, stole the show at this much-anticipated rafting party. Although his son Pan Yun is at the top of the martial arts realm, he is suppressed everywhere and cannot show off his strength.
This year, Li Hao suffered from brain cramps for some reason, so he ended up having a bet with the princess and Ye Fan, a boy from Luyang Mansion. As a result, he lost the bet and did not play.
He could finally feel proud and proud, seeing his son dominate the rafting meeting and show off his power.
Just when Pan Dahai and the heads of the big Donglai families were discussing the performance of their family members.
Cao Hao and the guild presidents were sitting on the seats on the right, pointing towards Ye Fan's team near the coast.
"That guy is interesting!"
"Dean Cao is talking about Ye Fan from Luyang Mansion? I have heard of this boy before. He is a famous Holy God priest in Luyang Mansion and a shocking talent. However, there has been no news in recent years. I still I thought he had exhausted his talents and was completely depressed. Unexpectedly, he suddenly appeared again."
"Well, I met him today on the He Zi Lou boat in the ten consecutive boat races. He actually solved a business question given by President Feng, and he could also taste the raw materials of my third-level wine. This There are only a handful of people with business talents in Donglai County! I even gave him a small gourd of wine!"
"Dean Cao, you have always been stingy. We can't taste it, but you actually give away wine? It seems that Ye Fan is deeply appreciated by you!"
"The other members of Ye Fan's team are actually pretty good. They all seem to have obtained the tenth level of reward tokens for the ten consecutive boat races. They are the only team this year to have collected all ten tokens. They are in each department. In terms of knowledge, he is no less than anyone on the Donglai List."
"Li Hao and the princess actually lost to Ye Fan in a bet. This guy is really interesting! It's just that his cultivation is too weak. He is still in his early stage of martial arts, so he is not good enough at the rafting party."
"Guess how many sea beasts Ye Fan and the others can hunt down?"
"As a team, if they can hunt three to five, that's good!"
"This team of theirs has to go through ten or twenty years of training and become a late-stage Martial Master before they are qualified to participate in this rafting party! Otherwise, just like now, it will be just nonsense."
The presidents of various guilds commented on the performance while drinking and admiring it, and they were quite appreciative of the Luyang team. Of course, they are obviously not optimistic about the fighting strength of Ye Fan and his group.
...
Ye Fan stepped on a small boat, riding the wind and waves and gliding quickly in the big waves. Gu Hanjian, Jiang Youxi and other members of the team followed behind.
Hundreds of feet ahead, there was a huge wave several stories high, rushing towards Ye Fan.
Ye Fan saw that on the top of the wave directly opposite, there was an eight-clawed sea beast, waving its eight long legs that were more than ten feet long, menacingly.
"The Eight-Clawed Beast Lord! Be careful that the ink it sprays will confuse your vision!"
Ye Fan said quickly, the left-arm machine cannon was already aimed at the blue beast, and he fired it.
"boom!"
A projectile exploded out of the mysterious weapon tube and hit the eight-clawed sea beast on the wave crest hundreds of feet away.
Ye Fan was about to release the spider web combat skill, when he suddenly saw a figure of a black-faced Martial Lord on the opposite side, driving a boat and appearing silently behind the Sea Beast Lord.
Approaching tens of feet away, the black-faced martial master jumped suddenly, and the short blade in his hand burst out with a blue sharp light several feet long, instantly cutting off one of the back legs of the Eight-clawed Sea Beast Master.
The Eight-Clawed Sea Beast Lord was preparing for Ye Fan and his group in front. Unexpectedly, a human warrior warrior would rush out from behind and attack it silently. A long leg was cut off from it, and it screamed in agony and wanted to turn around and fight back.
"There's someone behind the wave!"
Ye Fan was taken aback and did not activate the spider web rune to avoid accidentally injuring the black-faced warrior.
Following the black-faced Martial Lord, four or five top Martial Lords rushed out in small boats, each with one sword, instantly cutting the eight-clawed sea beast into eight pieces.
Before dying, the eight-clawed sea beast spewed out a stream of ink, instantly blackening a large area of several hundred feet of sea area. However, it had no chance to escape through this pitch-black sea.
Ye Fan's team rushed through the waves, passing by the black-faced Wu Zun and his team.
"Humph, a bunch of losers are here to participate in some kind of rafting party!"
The black-faced warrior glanced at Ye Fan, with a cold light hidden deep in his eyes and a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
He didn't take action.
In full view of the public, if he tried to assassinate Ye Fan, he would definitely be discovered. It must be so that no one else can notice him.
The eight-clawed beast suddenly spurted out a large ball of ink, which gave him the best chance to strike.
"Ha ha!"
"Sorry, I stole one of your sea beasts! Next time I attack, you'd better move faster!"
After the members of the talented martial arts team killed a sea beast, everyone laughed.
In the tide battle at the rafting party, it is very common for the team captains to fight for and hunt the sea beasts and provoke each other.
Not only will this behavior not be stopped, but it will be welcomed by the people of Donglai County.
This kind of fierce confrontation can show their courage and strength to the greatest extent as long as it does not harm human life.
"Bah, you guys are useless! We were the first to target this Octopus Chapter. You guys rushed out to snatch it. What kind of skills do you have!"
Jiang Youxi couldn't help but turn around and cursed angrily.
Everyone in Ye Fan's team was furious. They just wanted to make some money by hunting a few sea beasts, but they didn't expect to be provoked by other warrior teams.
"Hey, boy, do you dare to scold your grandpa? Brothers, go back and clean them up, knock over their boats, and let them go into the sea to drink sea water!"
A smile of successful conspiracy flashed in the black-faced Master Wu's eyes, he grinned and shouted loudly.
He turned the boat and rushed towards Ye Fan's team with ulterior motives. As long as you use an excuse to let Ye Fan fall into the water, once Ye Fan falls into the water, it will be the best opportunity for assassination.
As long as no one sees that he is the killer, even if Ye Fan dies in the sea, it is because of his own lack of strength and he cannot blame others.
"Let's go! Knock them away!"
"Let them see clearly that this is a rafting party that only the Martial Lords of the "Donglai List" are eligible to participate in. They, cats and dogs, dare to participate without fear of being drowned!"
The other four or five Martial Lords didn't know what the black-faced Martial Lord was thinking. They just thought he wanted to play with the team. They all laughed wildly and rushed towards Ye Fan's team, wanting to tease them on the sea.
With the strength of this group of late-stage Martial Lords, it would be a piece of cake to deal with a group of early-stage Martial Lords.
"No! These bastards are really full. Instead of hunting the Sea Beast Lord, they actually come to cause trouble for us!"
Ye Fan immediately cursed and shouted to the others, "Go quickly, don't let them catch up! If you are knocked over, you will be in big trouble after falling into the water!"
Now the waves are rolling, and sea beasts can be seen everywhere in the sea. If you fall into the water, you will definitely be attacked by a swarm of sea beasts. You must glide at high speed on the sea to escape the attacks of these sea beasts.
"These bastards! Should we go find other teams for help?"
"It's useless. They are all from the Dong Lai Bang. They will just watch with cold eyes. It's impossible for anyone to help us! We can only rely on ourselves!"
Everyone in the Luyang team was furious, but they had no choice but to drive the boat forward at full speed and try their best to get rid of the harassment of the black-faced Wu Zun's team.
However, even though they are fast, they are still not as fast as the group of black-faced warriors.
You must know that the boat itself cannot move. In addition to gliding at high speed with the help of waves and wind, the most important thing is to rely on Wu Zun to stimulate his vitality to propel it at high speed.
The power of Wu Zun's vitality in the later stage is obviously much stronger than that in the early stage of Wu Zun.
Ye Fan suddenly turned the muzzle of the machine gun and aimed it at the team of the black-faced Martial Lord who was only forty or fifty feet away from behind him.
A spider liquid pellet burst out.
"boom!"
When it was only ten feet away from the target, the projectile exploded instantly, spider liquid splashed, and the wind swelled into a huge spider web of tens of feet, covering the black-faced Martial Lord.
""Spider Web"! Spider-type combat skills! Does this kid have spider-type blood?"
The expression of the black-faced Martial Master changed.
This spider web is so huge that it is impossible to hide at such a close distance.
"Cross cut against the wind!"
The black-faced Wu Zun shouted fiercely, holding the blue blade in his hand backwards, and slashed forward twice in an instant.
Two half-foot-long blue wind-arc blades cut in the shape of a cross towards the spider web coming towards this side.
"Pfft!"
A wind-based vitality combat skill!
The cross blue wind blade cut a cross hole in the spider web.
The black-faced Martial Lord crouched half-crouched, steered the boat, and rushed through the mouth forcefully. Although there was a little spider silk stuck around, he rushed too fast and got rid of the spider web in one go.
But a Martial Lord behind the black-faced Martial Lord was not so lucky. He didn't react in time and ran into the huge spider web. He screamed and was wrapped in the spider web and fell into the sea. He lost his fighting power in an instant and struggled desperately in the spider web.
The other Martial Lords were all taken aback and hurried to save him.
Only the black-faced Wu Zun was still driving the boat towards Ye Fan at full speed.
