Chapter 176 - Five Hundred Years Old Sword Intent
Since an Astral Reaching Realm martial artist had abruptly shown up, none of the others on the deck dared to speak at this moment, so as to not accidentally offend him; a few cowardly rich men even sneakily headed back into their own cabins.
Seeing this, Black Crow Taoist Priest grinned and said, “You may continue chatting, I won’t bite.”
Xu Changjian grinned as well and said, “Black Crow Taoist Priest is one of the few most respected senior martial artists to me, you don’t need to be afraid of him at all.”
Hearing Xu Changjian’s words, the others slightly loosened their agitated face, yet, they still did not dare to talk loudly, only whispering to each other.
“This is the very first time that I meet an Astral Reaching Realm martial artist, I wonder where this Black Crow Taoist Priest comes from.”
“Even Captain Xu has been acting so respectful to him, he must be ridiculously powerful!”
“The aura released by this Black Crow Taoist is way too great, as immeasurable as a bottomless river. Compared to him, those powerful martial artists in our institutions are merely ordinary people!”
“Tell me about that! The higher a martial artist’s grade goes, the wider the gap between him and the lower grades martial artists would be. It’s said that an Astral Reaching Realm martial artist could easily crush an advanced Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist with a single finger!”
Ye Chen observed Black Crow Taoist Priest for a moment then turned away as he thought, ‘He’s indeed unimaginably powerful. I can sense the vibration of his Zhen Yuan that is as powerful as a surging river and as deep as the ocean. Unlike Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists’ Zhen Qi vibrations, Zhen Yuan vibrations of Astral Reaching Realm martial artists are spreading in the form of spirals, that seem to be able to pulverize everything. This Black Crow Taoist Priest is more powerful than Thunder Freer by at least thirty percent.’
“I could never meet so many powerful people if I stayed back in the Windy Nation,” murmured Ye Chen to himself, “Firstly, Thunder Freer, now this Black Crow Taoist Priest, both of them are legendary powerful martial artists who have been admired by others.”
Standing straight on ship’s bow, Black Crow Taoist Priest turned around and asked Xu Changjian, “Do you have any booze? Bring me some if you do!”
“Sure, give me a second!” Xu Changjian responded and hurriedly walked into the cabin for booze.
Soon, he walked out smilingly, then threw a bottle to Black Crow Taoist Priest and said, “Senior, this is the famous Centurial Pear Blossom Wine, of our South Chamber of Commerce.”
Black Crow Taoist Priest caught the bottle in the air and excitedly pulling out the bottle plug as he chugged the wine. He began murmuring, “Good, good, pure and thick, I might purchase hundreds of bottles of this from your Chamber of Commerce later.”
“Ah ha ha! Our Chamber of Commerce manager will surely give you a great discount.”
The Ocean Beast kept moving towards north and soon sailed for another two or three thousand miles. Gradually, the Wild Goose Falling River became narrower and narrower. The width of the river had already narrowed down to around a hundred miles, from five hundred, or even seven hundred to eight hundred miles. If you were standing on the Ocean Beast’s deck right now, you could already see waves of mountain ranges and those big, thriving harbour cities by the river.
Black Crow Taoist Priest turned his head to the right front after throwing the wine bottle into the river, then he laughed out loud and said, “It has already been ten years since the last time we met, today, we can finally have a good, serious fight!”
Seemingly a response to Black Crow Taoist Priest’s words, from a mountain in the river bank in the right front that was over a hundred miles away from the ship, an enormous, dazzling and raging flame stream suddenly darted into the sky, letting out a scorching red, sunshine-like fiery light, which was casted upon the glistening river surface.
“Haha, I’m leaving!”
Said Black Crow Taoist Priest to Gao Changjian while an enormous pair of wings stretched out from his back, then flicked; along with which, he directly flew up into the air, darted towards the flame stream. In the air, a dark, thick black air swirled around his body, giving a vigorous and bold aura.
“Goodbye, dear senior!” Shouted Xu Changjian.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. From the swooshing flame stream, he saw a faint human silhouette. Technically, he didn’t truly see that, he had only grasped the great sense of power released by that person with his soul power, and formed a human silhouette in his mind; just like a blind man constructing the surrounding environment that he had been staying in for many years in his mind.
“Another Astral Reaching Realm martial artist.” Ye Chen enthusiastically said after letting out a long breath.
“Captain Xu, are the pair of wings of Black Crow Taoist Priest transformed from his Zhen Yuan, like one of those Astral Reaching Realm martial artists’ abilities you’ve mentioned before?” Once Black Crow Taoist Priest left, the others were instantly freed from the great pressure exuded by him, and some of them asked questions immediately.
Xu Changjian grinned and responded, “Zhen Yuan solidification is indeed an ability possessed by Astral Reaching Realm martial artists, however, none of them would use this ability unless they had to. You can think of it this way, all Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists are able to temporarily transform their Zhen Qi into certain objects, but compared to martial artists who are proficient in certain Zhen Qi solidifying arts, who can be more powerful?”
“Martial artists who are proficient in certain Zhen Qi solidifying arts are surely more powerful! For ordinary Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists, transforming the Zhen Qi into weapons then launching the attacks is no different from direct attack, it’s just more complicated.”
“Exactly, this principle also works for Astral Reaching Realm martial artists. The pair of wings of Black Crow Taoist Priest was actually created from a martial art that he has mastered called Great Black Crow Art, which is much more powerful than ordinary Astral Reaching Realm martial artists’ Zhen Yuan solidifying ability. In addition to greatly increasing the movement speed, this art can also raise the circulating speed of a martial artist’s Zhen Yuan. It’s one of the most powerful martial arts possessed by the Flying Devil Martial School.”
“Flying Devil Martial School? Do you mean that rank 6 institution of the Black Dragon Empire?”
“Ah! Black Crow Taoist Priest is a Flying Devil Martial School’s martial artist! So that is where he comes from!”
All those people were smart and knowledgeable that from Captain Xu’s words, they immediately learned about Black Crow Taoist Priest’s background, and all popped their eyes out in shock. In their eyes, all rank 6 institutions were legendarily mighty powers. If rank 9-7 institutions could be counted as big institutions, rank 6 institutions can definitely be seen as supreme institutions, after all, any rank 6 institution could easily destroy lower ranked institutions, or even a relatively small nation.
Boom!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone who had been standing on deck, the mountain, where the great flame stream had bursted from, suddenly shattered into pieces; overwhelmingly powerful shockwaves visibly spread out towards every direction.
