Chapter 400 - Boarding (2/2)

If it was not Feng XIII, then Iza Kawatani was most likely to be the one. The royal family of R Country had lost their source of God’s blood, and they would not just give it up so easily. Iza Kawatani had been deceived by his pupil, and he would not just let it go either. It would not be strange if he managed to find this island. Xiao Bing could not see through this man. Though it was not likely that Iza Kawatani had reached immortality, he might have reached the Completion of Void-breaking. If he knew that Feng XIII did not die after drinking the Gods’ Blood, he might take this risk to see if he could advance his skills.

Xiao Bing cast these thoughts away and ran to Red Rose. The boy had passed out in her arms. Cradling the boy, Red Rose looked at Xiao Bing. He asked “Where’s the exit. I’ll get you out of here.”

Red Rose came back to reality. “There’s a passage towards the foot of that mountain. But there are guardians there. No one is allowed to leave without the elders’ consent.

“Okay, take me there!”

Xiao Bing took the boy and cradled him. “This is no job for women.”

Red Rose had been dismayed because Xiao Bing did not tell her the whole truth. But what Xiao Bing just said dissolved all her anger. Then they ran to the discreet passage and found there were two serpents lying on the ground. They were of the same size as the serpents that guarded the entrance of the cave during the ceremony. Xiao Bing felt lucky that he had been prudent enough. Otherwise he could have been killed. After all, there were not only Feng XIII and the Great Patriarch. The serpents guarding this place were all at the level of Void-breaking.

Xiao Bing saw that Orochi had devoured the two guarding serpents at the cave, and many of the residents had been eaten as well. That was why its second head had revived. But these two snakes seemed to have been killed unexpectedly. Xiao Bing believed that it was Feng XIII, who did this.

Red Rose paused and sighed as she looked at the bodies of the serpents. Then she kept running with Xiao Bing trailing close behind her.

This passage was about thousands of meters long. Another world appeared as they reached the end: beach, sea and the rolling tides. The two boats Xiao Bing used were still there. And there were two big ships anchored beside the beach. It seemed to be manned and armed.

As he had expected, Iza Kawatani was there.

“It seems that Orochi left me, because it thought Iza Kawatani is a better tonic.”

Iza Kawatani was stronger than Xiao Bing, though he was not a match for a single snake head. But at least he could run. Orochi could not leave this island before all of its heads were revived. That was why it left Xiao Bing and came to this place. Xiao Bing surmised that it was here to kill Iza Kawatani, as soon as possible.

Xiao Bing looked at Red Rose and asked, “Do you know how to start a ship? Perhaps you should take the boy with you and leave first. I will go and check the mountain top.”

Red Rose shook her head and said, “I don’t know. I have never left this place.”

Xiao Bing looked at the ships and he suddenly smiled. “I have an idea.”

As he said so, he put the boy on his back and grabbed the woman by the arm and sprinted toward one of them. The sailors screamed in panic, “We are under attack!”

Before they realized it, Xiao Bing had boarded the ship. He seized the screaming man by the throat, and looked at others who aimed their guns at them. “You can shoot.” He said this in an aloof manner.

Then the men pulled the trigger. There were six of them in total, which meant that there were six guns. But Xiao Bing did not even try to dodge the bullets, because they started to slow down when they were about three centimeters away from him. Xiao Bing flailed and a second later, all the bullets were in his hands.

Xiao Bing grinned as he dropped the bullets. Then he let go of the man and asked, “Answer my questions, otherwise all of you will be killed!”
