Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2227: Chapter 2262: Something Big Happened

"Yeah!"

An elder from an unknown faction said, "Rely on him? We might as well hope that Island Master Xu is resurrected. He’s nothing but a fart, relying on Mu Gaosou to act reckless. Who thinks he killed the Fourth Level expert from the Divine Realm? He’s just a bootlicker who barely reached the Third Level of the Divine Realm. If it weren’t for Herr Family’s young lady supporting him, could he rise to power? Pah!"

"Exactly, he’s just a coward, a coward living off a woman."

A few warriors loyal to the Xu Family shouted, seeing that everyone might not survive. They had no reservations anymore.

Most people remained silent. Upon hearing the Four Great Royal Clans were going to attack, Ding Fan had only met them once and still advised everyone to look out for themselves and find a way to escape. What use is speaking of him now? You simply can’t rely on him.

"Why the hell is everyone making noise? Waiting here to die? Immediately send scout cavalry to investigate everywhere. Everyone get out and fight. Killing one is breaking even, killing two is profit. A real man faces death spectacularly. In eighteen years, I’ll be a hero again!"

The Lord of Luoying Island suddenly jumped up and roared at everyone.

"Alright! Let’s do it!"

Many people jumped up along with him. Seeing everyone’s determination, Pu Feng nodded and stood up, saying to everyone, "Alright then, everyone, go gather your subordinates and meet at the dock. I’ll send the scout cavalry now to gather intelligence, see which area has sparse enemy forces, find an opportunity to break through together."

Everyone dispersed, went back to their temporary camps, gathered their subordinates and marched out of Yuexia City, heading towards the dock with great momentum.

Pu Feng also assembled Pu Family’s warriors and went to the dock. From a glance, there were nearly two hundred warships there.

At this time, all the affiliated factions and families of Moon Mist Island came out, hoping to find a chance to break through. If they could escape from Tianmu Sea, it would be great. If not, they would fight desperately against the warriors of the Four Great Royal Clans.

The families of various factions stayed in Yuexia City; they had no way to take these people away. Whether left behind or taken away, they were doomed either way.

"Report! The Zhong Family’s super airship is less than a thousand miles away, and it will definitely arrive in an hour."

"Report! Thirty-five warships from Luoying Island have arrived, carrying nearly two thousand warriors. Three Fourth Level experts from the Divine Realm were detected."

"Report! Thirty warships from Xian Kong Island have arrived..."

"Report! Blood Demon Island’s warships have arrived too..."

All the highest-ranked scout cavalry were dispatched to gather military intelligence and find breakthrough points. But the reports were all bad news; each direction was guarded by the armies of the Four Great Royal Clans, led by Fourth Level experts from the Gods and Buddhas Realm. They couldn’t even kill many enemies, let alone break through.

Time flew by quickly, and the Zhong Family’s super airship was getting closer and closer. If they hesitated any longer, they would likely be surrounded by the Zhong Family. If the Zhong Family sent even a single Fifth Level expert from the Divine Realm, all the island masters and family heads on Moon Mist Island would be dead.

"To hell with it, everyone from Luoying Island, board the ship, we’ll take action first!"

The Lord of Luoying Island couldn’t wait any longer. Since they’d die anyway, he might as well die gloriously in battle rather than waiting here to be slaughtered. Once Luoying Island moved, the island masters and family heads from various factions couldn’t sit still either. They immediately ordered their warriors to board ships and head out in any direction to fight.

"Alright then, let’s kill!"

Pu Feng murmured to himself, waving his hand to let Pu Family’s people go into battle. For them, there was simply no suitable battle plan; they couldn’t break through in any direction, so they might as well fight chaotically. Killing one isn’t a loss; killing two is a gain.

"Report, an enigmatic expert appeared in the direction of Luoying Island warship and killed three Fourth Level experts from the Divine Realm leading the Zhong Family’s team. Enemies there are likely all dead by his hand."

"What?"

Pu Feng and the remaining people stared at each other, seeing disbelief in each other’s eyes. Pu Feng thought for a moment and asked, "Is the mysterious expert wearing a ghost mask?"

Everyone’s eyes brightened. There was always a mysterious expert beside Ding Fan. They couldn’t sense his realm, but he was at least a Fourth Level expert of the Divine Realm.

"Didn’t see him wearing a ghost mask!"

The scout cavalry’s reply stunned everyone, as he continued, "The message said his speed was like an Asura, impossible to see clearly. He used two steel claws, and his face was obscured. All three Fourth Level Divine Realm enemies were killed in one move, directly grasped to death by him."

"That powerful?"

They were all shocked. Killing Fourth Level experts so easily meant he was only a Fifth Level expert from the Divine Realm. Yet, in Tianmu Sea, they had never heard of a Fifth Level expert using steel claws.

"Tell everyone to come back for now, and let the scout cavalry keep investigating. Report back at once if there’s any news!"

Pu Feng jumped back to the shore and instructed the scout cavalry.

Everyone jumped back to the shore, their eyes filled with excitement. It seemed a chance had arisen. If the Zhong Family’s experts were all killed by this mysterious expert, then they had a chance to escape.

Everyone waited nervously, and after an hour, a falcon came flying. A leader from the Pu Family took the intelligence report and, after reading it, joyfully said, "It’s news from Xian Kong Island. The Zhong Family’s enemies over there were all wiped out, and it’s indeed that mysterious expert using steel claws. Still can’t see his face, but his strength is at least at the Fifth Level of the Divine Realm."

"This person’s speed is terrifying; they’ve reached Xian Kong Island so quickly."

Pu Feng and others were shocked. The distance between Luoying Island and Xian Kong Island is quite far, yet after the massacre on Luoying Island, this person immediately appeared on Xian Kong Island, slaughtering the Zhong Family people. Such speed is truly eerie.

"Alright, this is good, we might all be saved!"

Pu Feng’s white beard trembled in excitement, and the island masters and clan leaders followed suit in excitement. At this moment, they could only hope the mysterious expert could kill the Zhong Family’s elite.

At this time, Pu Feng seemed to recall something, quickly asking his scout cavalry, "Where is the Zhong Family’s super airship now?"

The scout cavalry thought for a moment and said, "Based on the time calculation, it should be about to reach Skull Island."

"Haha, it’s reaching Skull Island!"

Many present couldn’t help but laugh, glancing at each other. Did Ding Fan think hiding on Skull Island would be safe? However, he might die sooner than those here.

...

Meanwhile, inside Skull Island, the scout cavalry was busy, intermittently reporting to Wu Qingxia about the situation. Still, the Skeleton Sect’s scout cavalry could only survey the surrounding hundred miles, as they had too few people.

"Crack!"

At this moment, the talisman in Wu Qingxia’s hand suddenly shattered, and a light flashed in her eyes. She said, "Wu Ding is dead; the enemy has arrived at Skull Island. Quickly go report to the Island Master!"

Several scout cavalry immediately rushed out of the hall, but unexpectedly, just as they stepped out the door, Ding Fan’s resounding voice came from outside, "No need to report, I’m already here."

Wu Qingxia and others quickly stood up to greet him, only to see Ding Fan walk in swiftly accompanied by two people. They all recognized one person, who always wore a ghost mask - it was Crimson Flame. But the other was incredibly strange, as no matter how everyone looked, they couldn’t discern the mysterious person’s face; it remained a blur.

"This person..."

The Fourth Elder and others sensed the aura of this person but couldn’t detect anything. Even though he was standing right in front of them, they couldn’t ascertain his realm, yet everyone felt this person was very powerful, perhaps even stronger than Crimson Flame with the ghost mask.

Mu Gaosou knew who this person was and couldn’t help but smile slightly, muttering to himself, "Finally, he’s come out!"

Nobody paid attention to Mu Gaosou at that moment, while Ding Fan sat grandly in the main seat, looking at the mysterious person and said, "Alright, go ahead and bring the leader of the Zhong Family to me, kill those useless samurai."

The mysterious person said nothing, merely bowed to Ding Fan, and vanished in a flicker. His speed left everyone staring, dumbfounded, as a lingering afterimage slowly dissipated.

The gaze of Crimson Flame flickered with an Earth Spirit glow and turned to Ding Fan. He felt that the Young Master before him seemed as deep and unfathomable as the sea.

Sensing Crimson Flame’s gaze, Ding Fan whispered to him, "There’s no need for surprise; I’ll explain it slowly to you later. There is no need to worry. Even if Zhong Zhiyong leads the army himself, he will be defeated by this person’s hand."

...

In the sky, not a cloud could be seen; below, the waters of the Tianmu Sea rolled vast and boundless, with various sea fish swimming within. Ocean winds gently blew the willow trees on Skull Island, creating a tranquil and beautiful scene across the entire island.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."

This scene was abruptly interrupted by a sound as a super airship broke through space and appeared. Hundreds of samurai standing on the airship wore crimson battle armor, wielding various weapons, their murderous intent overwhelming, utterly breaking the previously tranquil and scenic view.

At the forefront of these samurai stood a seemingly frail elder with a vicious face, eyes occasionally flashing fiercely. At that moment, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the small Skull Island ahead, with a sinister smile on his face.

Although he was smiling, the samurai around him felt chills run down their spines, knowing the most terrifying aspect of the Zhong Family was sometimes not Zhong Zhiyong’s temper but this strategist Zhong Ziqi’s smile.

Seeing that they were almost at Skull Island, the scouts of the Zhong Family had already clearly investigated that Ding Fan was hiding with the Skeleton Sect people on this small island.

The warriors of the Zhong Family didn’t understand or care why Ding Fan didn’t run away, but stayed on this tiny island to meet his demise. Yet, Zhong Ziqi now viewed Ding Fan and the Skeleton Sect as dead people. Master Daozhen was dead, Herr Wanzhan was dead; no one in Tianmu Sea could stop Zhong Ziqi from killing Ding Fan, from annihilating Skull Island.

In Zhong Ziqi’s mind, the name Ding Fan represented a disgrace, an unforgivable hatred throughout his life; it was Ding Fan who had shamed the Zhong Family, making them unable to raise their heads in the Northern Wastelands.

Today, Zhong Ziqi would eliminate the source of all this, the culprit Ding Fan, for himself and the Zhong Family, to let the shame of the Zhong Family become past and stand proudly again atop the Northern Wastelands.

"Ding Fan, I’ll make you regret coming into this world. Once you’re in my hands, I’ll make you wish for death."

While Zhong Ziqi was contemplating how to torture Ding Fan, a scout cavalry from the Zhong Family emerged from the sea, leapt onto the super airship, and bowed to Zhong Ziqi, saying, "Lord Qi, something big has happened, the Martial Artists on Xian Kong Island are all dead, killed by someone."

"Ah... how could this be!"
