Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 216 Do You Still Dare?
"Uncle! Will they accept us?" Ouyang Ke, who was paddling the raft with wood chips, asked Ouyang Feng, feeling very uneasy.

After all, the people on that merchant ship were not all friends! They were all enemies.

Ouyang Feng waved to Ouyang Ke, indicating that he didn't need to waste any more energy. He transferred his own power to the soles of his feet, which turned into a driving force, allowing the wooden board to fly quickly across the sea like a skateboard.

"Yes! As long as I give in a little, they will not give up on accepting us."

"Especially that silly boy named Guo Jing. He has a soft heart. We just need to focus on convincing him. Others will not give him no face."

The two men, who were called uncle and nephew but were actually father and son, were talking when they suddenly saw a head popping out from the side of the boat.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the man was the young prince Wanyan Kang.

Ouyang Ke said happily: "Little Prince! It's us! Hurry up and lower the ladder so we can get on board."

Wanyan Kang nodded, then turned his head away.

After a while, he jumped onto the side of the boat, holding a sword in his right hand and a few harpoons in his left hand, which had the ropes at the tail removed and were originally used to shoot fish.

After taking a quick look, Wanyan Kang threw a harpoon at the small wooden board on which Ouyang Feng and his son were riding, without any regard for their old friendship.

Ouyang Feng waved his snake staff and easily pushed away the harpoon. The next moment, two more harpoons flew over, and the force they carried was not weak.

Although Ouyang Feng still blocked the harpoon, his footing was unstable and his strength was not even, so the small wooden board shook violently from side to side and almost threw Ouyang Ke into the sea again.

"What do you mean, young prince?" Ouyang Feng's eyes were dangerous as he looked at the points on the hull structure where he could use leverage.

In order to be "polite", I didn't consider sneaking onto the boat as my first option.

But now it seems that we still have to find a way to get on the boat first.

Although sea vessels are much taller than inland river ships, they still cannot stop a great master like Ouyang Feng.

Wanyan Kang still just smiled and threw out two more harpoons.

But this time, after the harpoon flew out, the sword in his right hand suddenly flew towards Ouyang Ke with the force of a hundred-step flying sword, taking his life.

After blocking two harpoons, Ouyang Feng missed the best opportunity to intercept the Hundred-Step Flying Sword. It was already impossible for him to swing his snake staff to stop the sword midway.

In a flash, the internal energy that Ouyang Feng had been transferring under his feet suddenly exploded, and the small wooden raft broke into several pieces in the middle. Ouyang Ke also fell into the sea, avoiding being pierced through the chest by a flying sword.

Ouyang Ke fell into the sea, but Ouyang Feng had no time to care about him. Instead, he stepped on a piece of wood chips, pushed his feet, and flew up like an onion pulled up from dry land. In an instant, he jumped to a height of thirty or four meters. He swung the snake staff in his hand fiercely, and two poisonous snakes shot towards Wanyan Kang like lightning.

Wanyan Kang ducked and dodged, using the hull as his best cover. He drew out the dagger from his waist and with two swipes, cut off the vital points of the two poisonous snakes.

"careful!"

Two sword energies flew across the air and completely smashed the heads of the two poisonous snakes.

"The poisonous snakes raised by Ouyang Feng are quite strange. Even if their core is cut off, they still have the power to strike back. If you are not on guard, it will be troublesome if you are bitten by them." Qiu Chuji said to Wanyan Kang.

Wanyan Kang nodded to indicate that he remembered, and at the same time popped his head out from the side of the ship again. He saw Ouyang Feng opening his sleeves and flying towards the deck like a big bird.

Wanyan Kang used his finger as a sword and pointed at the air, and the soul-stirring sword intent was released.

Ouyang Feng, who had been on guard for a long time, felt his inner energy suddenly stagnate while in mid-air. He inevitably became worried and then fell towards the sea below.

On the sea, Ouyang Feng fell and stepped on a piece of broken driftwood. His expression changed many times as the waves rose and fell.

No matter how good his martial arts skills were, as long as Wanyan Kang was waiting there, he would have no chance of sneaking onto the ship.

Although Wanyan Kang's martial arts are definitely not yet at the level where he can fight against the Five Great Masters, he now has an absolute advantage in terrain. The gap between Wanyan Kang and Ouyang Feng has already narrowed to a certain range. Relying on the advantage of terrain, Wanyan Kang can sit back and enjoy the upper hand.

"Young Prince! We are on the same side, both serving the Kingdom of Jin. With my help, your father will be able to continue to gain a foothold in the court."

"If my father and I were gone, your father's situation would only become more difficult." Ouyang Feng tried to persuade Wanyan Kang.

Wanyan Kang gave a strange smile.

He said calmly and with a little indifference: "My father is in a bad condition, so he needs me. If he is in a good condition, then my life or death will be unpredictable, right?"

The demon fetus's sensitivity, coupled with a period of close contact, has allowed Wanyan Kang to completely understand Wanyan Honglie's attitude towards him.

It is definitely impossible to say that there is no affection between father and son.

But from the very beginning, he was the bond that maintained the marriage between Wanyan Honglie and Bao Xiruo. If it were not for him, Bao Xiruo would not have given herself to Wanyan Honglie. Wanyan Honglie also knew this, so he treated him like his own son.

After Bao Xiruo died, this half-true, half-false father-son relationship had long been unbalanced.

When Wanyan Honglie needed him, this father-son relationship, which was originally half-real, became more real.

When Wanyan Honglie looked at him and felt annoyed, the relationship between father and son became much more fake.

Humans are very complex animals and cannot truly control their own emotional output.

Wanyan Kang couldn't bear to part with his "father", so he wouldn't let Wanyan Honglie live too well. Whether it was the Wanyan Kang in the past or the Wanyan Kang who had merged into the demon fetus now, they could never be described as "good people".

For the sake of this father-son relationship, he could follow Li Er's example, imprison his own "father", and then be filial to him. In fact, he could do it.

Ouyang Feng did not particularly understand the specific dispute between Wanyan Kang and his son, but he knew that he had not reached an agreement with Wanyan Kang, so he shouted in a loud voice: "Guo Jing! Guo Jing! Come out and talk to me."

Wanyan Kang is cruel and ruthless, and Guo Jing is always an easy target.

Guo Jing, who was in the cabin, heard Ouyang Feng's shouting outside and was about to go out to take a look, but was stopped by Huang Rong: "Brother Jing! You don't know how cold the sea is, and how scared I am to be underwater alone..."

Guo Jing naturally wanted to comfort Huang Rong, but he was still a little hesitant.

Dugu Qiubai said, "Jing'er! Comfort Huang girl. Your father will go out and check on the situation for you."

After Dugu Qiubai came out, he did not go to the boat to see Ouyang Feng, but stood beside Qiu Chuji and asked in a low voice: "Why haven't you cleaned it up yet?"

The old guy was also a ruthless murderer. Killing Ouyang Feng meant nothing to him.

"It's good to be used as a whetstone. It's not cost-effective to just cut it off like this. Let him practice with my apprentice and gain some experience." Qiu Chuji said.

"Then you should urge Wanyan Kang to hurry up. My silly son is soft-hearted. If he comes out to talk to Ouyang Feng, he will probably be fooled."

"If he really agrees to let Ouyang Feng and his son on board, we won't be able to offend that fool." Dugu Qiubai said.

Qiu Chuji laughed and said, "Old senior, you are so handsome and elegant, have you ever thought about changing Guo Jing's personality?"

Dugu Qiubai said: "Why should I change him? He is honest and down-to-earth. He has no shortage of tricks when it comes to the critical moment. He is generous at ordinary times. What a good character. But don't be like me. Although I kill people with a sword and feel happy, I can only be alone when I am old, with the eagle as my companion, and my long sword is useless."

At this point, Dugu Qiubai finally couldn't hold back and asked Qiu Chuji: "Master, the sword you used before..."

"Want to learn?"

"I'll teach you!" Qiu Chuji said directly.

Dugu Qiubai nodded vigorously, then asked, "Would you like me to be your disciple? I can!"

People like him have long seen through false reputations and so-called seniority, and would be more than happy to go one hundred steps further.

He was eager to become Qiu Chuji's disciple and learn the true teachings.

"No need for that! Just communicate, communicate. In fact, I just rely on my profound skills. In terms of skills, I am not stronger than my predecessors." Qiu Chuji said modestly.

On the other side, seeing that he could not call upon Guo Jing, Ouyang Feng could only fight against Wanyan Kang again.

Wanyan Kang just stood on the boat, watching Ouyang Feng, and no matter how he provoked him, he refused to get off the boat.

Although Ouyang Feng repeatedly pounced forward like a jumping frog, he was easily forced back by Wanyan Kang. After so many times, Wanyan Kang was well-rested and his combat experience kept increasing +1+1+1, while Ouyang Feng's true energy was greatly consumed and his physical strength was gradually exhausted. If this continued, if he could not get on the ship, his fantastic sea drifting journey with Ouyang Ke would become more difficult and his chances of survival would be further reduced.

After trying twice more, Wanyan Kang saw that Ouyang Feng wanted to retreat, so he started to take ruthless action. Not only did he use his sword to break all the larger pieces of wood into pieces, he also threw some leftover fish from the ship's kitchen into the sea.

The fish offal mixed with the smell of blood soon attracted schools of fish, which in turn attracted schools of sharks. Ouyang Feng heard Ouyang Ke's cries for help and pain, and had to go to rescue him.

The strong wind filled the sails and the merchant ship gradually sailed away. Ouyang Feng and his son were fighting sharks in the sea, and the possibility of survival was extremely low.

Qiu Chuji jumped to the stern of the boat, clasped his hands across his chest, and then gathered his true Qi and rubbed it back and forth.

A solid ball of true Qi began to condense in his arms.

"Go!" The Zhenqi ball was projected towards the place where the sharks gathered and the father and son were trying to survive.

A moment later, accompanied by a loud bang, a large whirlpool in the sea quickly expanded with Ouyang Feng and his son as the core area.

Qiu Chuji was very fair. He would fight back in the same way the other party wanted to deal with him.

Shouts, curses, cries for help... gradually became completely inaudible. Dugu Qiubai went to the bow of the boat to observe the sea and meditate on the sword, and figured out the sword intent.

Huang Rong and Mu Nianci went to the kitchen to prepare supper as usual. Guo Jing was at the bow, hanging on a rope and practicing swordplay.

Qiu Chuji and his disciple Wanyan Kang were standing at the stern chatting.

"I told you a long time ago that I put something in your body. It will make you stronger and give you unlimited possibilities, but it will also make you suffer and even despair."

"Now, have you decided to take it a step further? Do you... still dare to continue?" Qiu Chuji had to ask Wanyan Kang what he thought.

Because next time, when he unseals the demon fetus, it won’t be added little by little.

Instead, it will directly unlock 50% of it, and half of the demon fetus effect will be applied to Wanyan Kang, which will make him truly extraordinary and possess many special features that ordinary people in this world can never possess. But at the same time, all kinds of negative emotions will become more turbulent, and his perception of the dark side of the human heart will be further strengthened.

He would truly become an isolated island in the dark ocean, with almost no light visible.

If Wanyan Kang is not ready, Qiu Chu will put it aside for the time being and will not force him now.
