Chapter 1019: Ethereal Luck Fluctuating Irregularly (1/2)

“It looks like another warship is coming from the front!” Ao Jiao said.

Xiao Chen acknowledged her without glancing at it. In the past few days, several warships had passed by. However, after taking a few looks at him, these warships just ignored him and continued on.

He was in no hurry. Since there were warships passing by, as long as he drifted in the direction of these warships, he would eventually come to somewhere populated.

“This warship seems to be heading for you. I will enter the Immortal Spirit Ring first.” Ao Jiao’s figure flashed, turning into a beam of light entering the Immortal Spirit Ring.

Xiao Chen sighed as he raised his head. This warship was entirely purple, made out of Purple Cloud Rock. It was huge but looked strangely streamlined and beautiful.

As a peak Sage Grade warship, the workmanship was pretty good for such a large vessel. However, the craft was not comparable to the warships Xiao Chen obtained from the Seven Distinguished Dragon Marquises.

If compared to the Dragon’s Gate’s warship, it was like mud to clouds.

A banner raised on the bow of this warship had an ancient “Mo” character embroidered on it.

“Mo? This is a rather rare family name,” Xiao Chen muttered to himself.

When the purple warship approached, Xiao Chen heard some sounds coming from the deck.

“Miss, it is just an unremarkable Martial Monarch. Furthermore, he is significantly injured. He probably was overconfident and failed in his exploration at the Forbidden Sea.”

“Ask him where he is going. If it is on our way, we can give him a ride.”

“Miss, there is no need to care about this stranger. Furthermore, we are on an important mission and cannot allow any accidents.”

“It’s fine. Uncle Wang, go on and ask him. A Martial Monarch would not be of much threat to us.”

Based on the voices, there was one elderly and one youth. The girl’s voice sounded very elegant, like flowing mountain springs, and very pleasing to the ears. She had to be a beauty.

After the two spoke, an old man who appeared to be a steward, said rudely, “Little friend, we are going to Starry Cloud Island. If it is on the way, we can give you a ride.”

Xiao Chen could not be bothered with this old man, ignoring him all the while. The other party was very rude. If he had to bend to every whim of this person when he boarded, he might as well drift longer.

Seeing Xiao Chen ignore him, the old man got angry. He scolded Xiao Chen for not knowing how to appreciate kindness and withdrew.

After that, the old man said a few words to the girl in a low voice.

Soon, a pretty figure appeared at the bow and casually glanced at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen took a graceful look at her. This girl wore a veil, so her countenance could not be clearly seen. However, his gaze lingered on this girl’s chest, not shifting away.

The girl’s expression turned cold, and she promptly withdrew. The warship quickly veered away and ignored Xiao Chen.

Hehe! Idiot Master, since when did you become so lecherous, scaring a girl away? Ao Jiao giggled in the Immortal Spirit Ring. However, her figure is pretty good, just slightly worse than mine.

Xiao Chen laughed helplessly. It looked like there was a misunderstanding. However, no matter what, he could not miss out on this warship.

He pushed off the piece of driftwood and spread his arms out, advancing rapidly like a flood dragon. Then, he descended towards the deck of the warship.

“How dare you barge in? Kill him!”

The old man who looked like a steward snorted coldly. Two Inferior Grade Martial Sages immediately leaped out and blocked Xiao Chen in the air. They revealed their killing Qi, and each executed a move at him.

These two people were cold and merciless, radiating murderous intent. One used a saber and the other a sword. Heavenly Sage Laws as thick as an arm waved behind them, wildly sucking in the Spiritual Energy in the air.

If Xiao Chen were an ordinary Martial Monarch, these two’s lightning-fast strikes would have instantly killed him.

Naturally, that did not happen to Xiao Chen, who had rich combat experience and a vast worldview. Even if he was currently only a Martial Monarch, he did not have to use his physical strength.

He could quickly find an opening and easily slip through it.

Everyone on the deck revealed astonished gazes. Xiao Chen seemed to have predicted the trajectories of the two’s attacks. As he swung his arms, he moved like a dragon without deviating from his path, landing directly on the deck.

This performance gave the feeling that the two Inferior Grade Martial Sages were like air, allowing Xiao Chen to pass right through them.

“Plop!”

When Xiao Chen landed, before he could get his footing, he felt dizzy, and pain came from his damaged meridians.

His expression changed as he lost control of his body and fell to the deck.

Damn, I forgot that I’m in a weakened state. I should not use my energy so casually. I need to wait at least until my meridians recover, before circulating any Quintessence.

Those earlier two moves looked very simple and ordinary. However, they involved strong explosive power released in short bursts calculated to precision.

Those moves required not only high concentration but also rapid bursts of Quintessence. The Mental Energy and Quintessence he expended were enormous.

Xiao Chen’s old injuries instantly flared up. Previously, he was already very weak and needed to nourish his body, so problems immediately appeared.

Uncle Wang initially felt some fear over Xiao Chen’s miraculous arrival. When he suddenly saw Xiao Chen fall over in such a miserable fashion, he could not help but laugh. “I thought it was some powerful genius.”

Even as a Superior Grade Martial Sage, Uncle Wang could not understand the performance that Xiao Chen displayed, that very fine control.

He had thought that this Xiao Chen’s Movement Technique was quite exquisite. However, what happened after that took him aback, nearly scaring him.

“Ka ca! Ka ca!”
