Chapter 724: Chapter 369: Truth Revealed, Embarrassment and Shame, Jade Beauty’s Fury, Another Loss to Li Xian!
This Martial Arts can be used through the eyes of others. Her eyesight is limited, hard to see the full view of the black dot, but the Jingyao Divine Bird’s eyesight is sharp. By borrowing the eyes of the "Jingyao Divine Bird," one can see far indeed! Zhao Ranran clearly saw the whole black dot, and it was undoubtedly Li Xian!
The early sun was rising, a lone black boat drifting, Li Xian lay sideways on the boat, a piece of Hui Grass between his lips. One hand reached into the lake, occasionally exerting force to paddle, and the boat would move forward several yards.
Enemies meeting face to face, the anger surged intensely, Zhao Ranran gritted her teeth with hatred but treasured her reputation, calmly saying, "Chase immediately!"
An official ship, along with a dozen or so fishing boats, pursued at once. Cutting through the waves, their momentum was like dragons. When only ten water miles away, Li Xian heard the commotion, looked into the distance, and upon witnessing the sudden appearance of pursuers, he sprang up, using the Sinking River Sword to paddle away and escape.
Although the distance was far, the lake was smooth as a mirror, vast as a plain, occasionally with lake vegetation, yet not hindering the view, both sides could see each other. Zhao Ranran shouted, "You Flower Thief, committing myriad evil deeds, still won’t hurry and meet your end."
Her voice was melodious, spreading far and wide, anyone who heard it was mesmerized and not tired of hearing. Soon, a voice returned from afar, "I hid this far, and yet you still found me?"
Zhao Ranran said, "You Flower Thief, born to be punished. Such petty deceit and cunning, not worthy of a grand stage. To capture you, it’s an easy feat in my hands."
Then they heard Li Xian respond, "Heroine, spare me! Heroine, spare me! Please don’t chase anymore. I now bind my hands and feet, ready for capture."
Nangong Xuanming roared, "Now when you’re desperate you plead for mercy, yet it’s too late! I see you, Flower Thief, have no remorse, best accept your fate willingly!"
Li Xian shouted, "Don’t push people too far! Must you force me onto a path of death? I warn you all, even a rabbit, when pressed, will bite!"
Zhao Ranran heard Li Xian angrily defeated and had already pleaded for mercy and surrender. Observing the scene, a dozen boats of heroes collectively besieging one Flower Thief, using an ox-cleaver to kill a chicken, she thought, "Even if you grew wings, in this situation you can’t escape. Being so terrified is understandable." She said, "Ridiculously laughable, I gave you a chance to argue, yet you didn’t cherish it, what more is there to say now, chase!"
Li Xian shouted somberly, "I beg you all, could you stop chasing?"
All Jianghu Guests laughed saying, "Ridiculous Flower Thief, near death and still hoping for luck," "Such pleading for mercy, honestly, is a first for me," "I’d say, you’d rather bind your hands and feet early, shave and accept fate. Those fellow Flower Thieves have become convict slaves, but their lives aren’t threatened. You struggle pointlessly for ages, ultimately facing demise. What’s the point?"
...
Li Xian solemnly said, "I’m not pleading for mercy, but giving a warning. Fine, since you insist on chasing, life and death will no longer concern me, Li Xian." He exerted all his strength to drive the boat and flee.
Nangong Xuanming mocked, "Such a lowly Flower Thief, still dares to boast."
Zhao Ranran, having had multiple encounters with Li Xian, suddenly felt ominous, dared not be careless, yet looked around, the sky clear, the wind warm, the sun bright, neither natural disaster nor human calamity existed. She said, "Alarmist talk, he can’t escape now, chase quickly."
After pursuing several miles further, the ship industry’s speed slowly decreased. Zhao Ranran frowned and said, "What’s happening?" Suddenly the ship shook violently, abruptly tipping.
Instantly, screams of terror and cries rose all around. Fishing boats and official ships were all damaged instantly, fellow Jianghu Guests screamed repeatedly, and the lake water turned bloody red.
Countless splashes scattered.
A kind of strange fish in the lake devoured the ships completely. All Jianghu Guests, trapped suddenly in this situation, were unable to protect themselves. Former allies became burdens.
Nangong Xuanming, Nangong Wuyang, and others of noble birth had never encountered such a scene, within moments several were already dead or injured, remaining lost and bewildered.
Zhao Ranran tightly clenched her delicate fists, the Celestial Favor Sword stabbed chaotically twice, stirring up splashes, schools of fish dead, her silver teeth clenched, unwillingly saying, "Saving people takes priority!"
