Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning - Chapter 1164: 455: Assassination (Part 2)

Capítulo 1164: Chapter 455: Assassination (Part 2)

However, after the first clash of weapons, during the remaining time, they exchanged no less than one or two hundred rounds, yet the blades and swords never touched each other again.

At first, Su Mo watched with great interest, but soon he started to frown.

By this time, he raised his eyebrows slightly, lost in thought.

While observing, Wei Ziyi did not forget to scrutinize Su Mo. Noticing his unusual expression, she couldn’t help but feel puzzled:

“What’s wrong?”

Su Mo gently shook his head, “It’s a bit strange…”

But after saying these four words, he didn’t continue to elaborate.

Wei Ziyi wanted to inquire further, but seeing Su Mo’s expression, she knew he had some guesses but wasn’t sure, so he didn’t say more.

At this moment, Zhuo Qing changed the move with his blade technique.

The chaotic sweeping blade light suddenly retracted, and he shouted lightly:

“Good Taoist, good martial arts!

“Take my move… Heaven’s Will Like a Blade!”

As he spoke, the blade, which showed no trace of blade light, was already poised and ready to strike.

The blade slashed through the void, its distance elusive and indistinct.

The Nameless Taoist’s face changed. Although he was already focused, at this moment, he steeled himself completely to face this incredible blade technique.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a flash before his eyes. Focusing again, he found that although Zhuo Qing was still there, his blade was gone.

“This…”

How could he defend against a weapon that had disappeared?

The will of heaven is unpredictable; how can its shadow be found?

Heaven’s Will Like a Blade, how can its trail be traced?

Buzz!!

A stroke of edge somehow bypassed the long sword in the Nameless Taoist’s hand, suddenly exploding into a dazzling blade light on his chest.

With immense might, it sliced through the void and pressed against the Taoist’s chest, from mid-air directly pushed onto the ship’s deck.

With a bang!

The Nameless Taoist’s body crashed to the ground, the blade light wrapped around him leaving a deep crack on the deck.

Pfft!

The Nameless Taoist spewed a mouthful of blood and wanted to speak, but as he just raised his head, it fell with a bang onto the deck, with no more movement.

“Leader Zhuo, how brilliant!!”

“Eliminating the traitor, greatly pleasing the heart!”

“Leader Zhuo’s Heaven’s Will Like a Blade is truly like the will of heaven itself. How could the Nameless Taoist perceive any clues?

“Fighting with Leader Zhuo is truly seeking one’s own death.”

Seeing the Nameless Taoist dead, everyone couldn’t help but lavish praises on Zhuo Qing.

Zhuo Qing leapt onto the ship, yet he didn’t first look at the corpse, but instead looked towards the outskirts of the ship, where a peng boat, driven by the waves, was less than ten zhang from the big ship.

“Who are you?”

He asked, eyes filled with doubt.

The boatman quickly said:

“I am a resident of Tianqi City, usually ferrying guests for sightseeing and fishing at sea for a living. Tonight, there are guests onboard, hence we’re here.”

This excuse evidently wasn’t used just once or twice, as the boatman said it fluently.

And sightseeing and fishing, although uncommon, someone will enjoy doing it.

Zhuo Qing slightly frowned, nodded gently:

“I see. This place is already quite a distance from Tianqi Island, and traveling on the sea in your peng boat is eventually somewhat dangerous.

“I don’t know if there was any damage from the battle just now?

“How about this… you come aboard first, and I’ll have someone inspect your boat.

“If everything is fine, you may leave.”

“This…”

The boatman, sweat streaming down his forehead:

“I dare not.”

“Insolence.”

Zhuo Qing had not yet spoken when a disciple of the Nanhai Alliance scolded:

“Our Leader Zhuo is kind, knowing that living off the sea is not easy, and the boats are your lifeline.

“Worried that the previous battle might have affected you, he kindly wants to inspect your boat.

“Don’t fail to appreciate his kindness.”

Zhuo Qing slightly frowned again but did not speak.

The boatman had no choice. By this time, even if he wanted to leave, he couldn’t.

If he had known earlier, he would’ve escaped while they were fiercely fighting, and perhaps he could’ve vanished without a trace.

But it’s too late to say this now.

He looked back at Su Mo and Wei Ziyi, seeing Su Mo nod slightly, he sighed inwardly, bowed and said:

“Thank you very much, Master.”

“No problem.”

Zhuo Qing waved his hand but then looked at the coffin behind the peng boat:

“However, I still have one thing unclear. Why bring a coffin for sightseeing and fishing at sea?”

“This…”

The boatman glanced at Su Mo.

Su Mo sighed, stepped out from the boat shelter, and with hands clasped, he slightly saluted Zhuo Qing:

“To be honest, inside the coffin is a friend of mine.

“This person was born on a remote island in Nanhai, where there’s a custom that if someone passes away, a sea burial is required.

“Not long ago, he died in a foreign land, with only me as his friend around.

“Tianqi Island doesn’t have this custom, and according to his wishes might be too shocking.

“So I decided, taking advantage of the night, to hire a small boat, leading him into the deep sea to rest in peace.”

“A sea burial?”

Zhuo Qing nodded: “In the past, I traveled many islands in Nanhai, and have indeed heard of such customs.

“Alright, you all come aboard first and also bring the coffin up.”

After he finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Su Mo and his group.
