Chapter 472 Natural and man-made disasters
Hongxiu put down her suona, looked at the distant sky, and smiled faintly, "Sister, don't these people look like fish-men?"

Luo Xian frowned as he listened to the strange sound: "The appearance is indeed strange, but what is this sound?"

"Whistle."

A clear voice came from behind me.

Ren Shaoyang had somehow already stood at the bow of the ship, gazing at the sea with his hands behind his back.

"Why are they whistling?" Ding'an asked, eating a piece of steamed bun. "Are they going to pee?"

Luo Xian smiled slightly: "The aquatic people control this strange fish as if it were their own arm or fingers, they must control it with whistles."

"Oh!" Ding'an suddenly understood. "So that's how it is."

Hongxiu rolled her eyes at him: "Idiot!"

A faint whistle sounded, and the strange fish and aquatic creatures around the large ship, stunned by the shock, sank to the bottom, leaving the sea calm and still for a moment.

Everyone was astonished, and Ding An blurted out, "What's going on?"

"Look underwater!" Ren Shaoyang said softly.

The crowd raised their lanterns and looked out. They saw a shadow rising and falling, swaying from side to side, beneath the sea. Suddenly, the waves parted, revealing a dark blue spine, thicker than a bucket, which disappeared in a flash.

"So many strange fish?" Luo Xian exclaimed in surprise. "The aquatic people have gathered at the bottom of the ship without anyone noticing."

"Sister, is the ship at Tianmen sturdy enough?"

Looking at the smiling Hongxiu, Luo Xian took a deep breath: "Don't worry, even a ten-foot wave can't shake my Heavenly Gate Ship!"

"Don't raise the flag!" the three said in unison.

Luo Xian was stunned: "What does this mean?"

Ding'an interjected, "The cripple once said that those who laugh loudly when in danger, those who say it's their last time before a great battle, and those who say they'll never capsize at sea are all flag bearers!"

Hongxiu made a capsizing gesture with both hands: "You're going to be in big trouble!"

Luo Xian found it unbelievable: "Is that so?"

“Yes!” Hongxiu and Ding’an nodded like chicks pecking at rice.

Luo Xian turned to look at the white robe.

Ren Shaoyang smiled faintly and suddenly said, "The aquatic creatures use sound to manipulate the strange fish to approach, but they don't show their faces. They must have some other methods."

"Another method?" Luo Xian asked curiously. "Shao Yang, can you find out?"

"Of course!" Hongxiu snorted softly and said, "Like right now, the waterspout is about to come!"

Waterspout?
Luo Xian's eyes widened suddenly as she looked ahead.

Low-flying gray clouds obscured the sky, the fog was thick, and as far as the eye could see, everything was a chaotic mess.

Suddenly, waves surged in the air, colliding with the previous raging storm, swirling into a vortex that resembled an enormous official hat, pressing down on the large ship.

The wind howled fiercely, its sound like the roar of a bull, and swept across my face, piercing my skin and bones.

"Dragon sucks water!" Luo Xian looked up at the sky, his mouth agape, his heart pounding in his throat.

A hurricane was seen rising high into the sky, stirring up the clouds. The winds around the large ship caused the water to swirl and turn into eddies.

Heaven and earth, all in chaos and confusion.

Everything was pitch black before my eyes, and I could hear the furious roars of countless tigers and leopards in my ears.

"Quickly, quickly lower the anchor and raise the sail!" Luo Xian's face turned pale as she turned around and gave the order in a shrill voice, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

The ship lurched again, drawing ever closer to the storm. Luo Xian cried out in a trembling voice, "Hurry, hurry!"

Just then, she suddenly felt a hand gently pat her shoulder.

Luo Xian was startled and turned around to see Ren Shaoyang dressed in white, gazing at a distant spot.

At that time, the sky was dark, the sea was stormy and fog was thick, but the white robe looked like a crescent moon, melting and shimmering.

Ren Shaoyang laughed and said, "Don't be afraid."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xian felt surprisingly calm: "Shao Yang, are you going to make a move?"

Ren Shaoyang tilted his head slightly and chuckled, "I won't steal the spotlight."

"Huh?" Luo Xian was stunned.

Just then, the ship seemed to be hit by something, and with a "thud," it began to shake violently.

Everyone clung tightly to the mast, gripped the ropes, and stared ahead, swallowing hard.

Only the three villains and Luo Xian stood at the bow of the boat, remaining relatively calm.

The wind and rain raged, and the distance was pitch black.

Ren Shaoyang smiled, and the Harmonious Law of Heaven quietly began to operate. From the urgency of wind and rain to the slightest movement of qi and blood, whether sound or silence, all the rhythms in the world became a symphony.

The storm was transparent to him, and the weather divination on the ship was as high and distant as the sky.

Dozens of miles away, a majestic figure stood in mid-air, his body surging with wind and thunder, his true energy like a dragon emerging from the sea, connecting the entire vast ocean.

Dark clouds and raging sea, their roar shaking the vast wilderness.

However, everything within a hundred miles was clearly visible under the reflection of Ren Jianshen's mental mirror.

"Alright, Di Shitian is about to start showing off." Ren Shaoyang chuckled.

Suddenly, a faint, cold laugh rang out: "Hmph! You think you can stop me? In heaven and on earth, who can stop me!"

Upon hearing this, a chill ran through everyone present!

Strands of ice, like dragons and snakes coiling. Suddenly, a strange sound was carried by the wind, and invisible cold air gathered and instantly solidified into an ice sculpture!
But then the ice sculpture slowly raised its two palms, making cracking sounds all over its body.

"Even the heavens cannot stop me!"

Upon hearing this, Hongxiu spat out, "What a load of bull!" Her voice wasn't loud, but the people present were all peerless experts; how could they not hear her?

The Ice Man paused slightly, seemingly giving her a cold glance, before extending both palms.

call!
A surge of icy mist, like a raging dragon, burst forth from the palm.

The water shimmered and sparkled in the mist.

Just then, with a "boom," a row of giant waves surged up and crashed violently against the bow of the ship.

But as the icy fog passed, a crackling sound rang out, and the waves were suddenly frozen into icebergs, plunging into the sea with a splash.

The icy mist continued to spread, instantly engulfing the world, accompanied by incessant cracking sounds. Then, the towering tornado began to slowly freeze from bottom to top.

In the blink of an eye, the catastrophic waterspout froze into a giant ice pillar hundreds of feet high, standing tall in the sea!

Suddenly, the ice figure at the bow of the ship smiled slightly and vanished.

With a loud "bang," the towering ice pillar flickered for a moment, then suddenly shattered and fell into the sea, like a hailstorm.

Ren Shaoyang put away his "Harmonious Laws" supernatural power, looked around, and found that the eye of the storm had disappeared and the sky was clear.

At this moment, the sun rises, shining brightly, and the world is utterly silent.

"The water spout disappeared in an instant?" Ding'an was somewhat surprised.

Luo Xian said in a deep voice, "Even a natural disaster as powerful as a tornado is easily defeated by Master!"

A gentle breeze swept across the ground, stirring up a light dust of snow, which resembled a wisp of white smoke rising into the sky.

Ren Shaoyang smiled faintly: "Very good."

"How good is it?"

That cold voice came from behind.

"Natural disasters are no match for you," Ren Shaoyang said calmly as he turned around. "Isn't that good?"

Sunlight pierced through the sea mist, illuminating the deck with a brilliant golden glow. A middle-aged man, his sleeves flowing, stood proudly at the bow, exuding an air of elegance.

"Sword God Ren, hello." Di Shitian said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time."

Ren Shaoyang raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Is that so?"

Di Shitian smiled and shook his head, saying, "You really didn't lie."

“I don’t need to lie,” Ren Shaoyang said. “And I don’t like others lying to me.”

"Good!" Di Shitian clapped his hands and laughed. "I acknowledge your title of 'Sword God'!" He said leisurely, "Previously, I traveled with Sword God Ren under the alias Xu Laoda, but I was captivated by your demeanor."

"Hmph!" Hongxiu sneered from the side, "Stop hiding your true colors and trying to get close to me. Who are you on the same side?"

Upon hearing this, all the sailors on the ship glared at him angrily.

Indra didn't take it to heart and laughed, "This 'fellowship' is not the same as that 'fellowship,' but rather the 'path of the road.' We're all walking the same road to slay the dragon, what else could we be but fellowship?" He spoke with a smile, but with each step he took, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

But Hongxiu was crazy; she made a face at him and stuck out her tongue slightly.

Emperor Shitian was amused and laughed heartily. He walked a few steps to the sail, patted the pole, and looked at him, saying loudly, "There's one more thing. Sword God Ren is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"The waterspout just now was not a natural disaster."

"so what?"

"The next big wave is not a natural disaster either."

"That's a man-made disaster."

"Yes! I've made my move. Now it's up to Sword Master Ren."

The two spoke rapidly, and after one round they finished, the room fell silent.

Only the rustling sound of clothes fluttering in the wind could be heard.

A glint flashed in Ren Shaoyang's eyes: "Since you have extended such a warm invitation, I cannot refuse."

A smile crept onto Indra's lips as he gestured with his hand: "Please!"

Ren Shaoyang nodded and turned to walk towards the bow of the ship.

Suddenly, the little beggar beside her called out softly, "Shaoyang~!"

Ren Jianshen almost stumbled, and helplessly turned his head to look: "Huh?!"

A smile flashed across Hongxiu's face, but she declared with righteous indignation, "Let me do it! If a wave ten feet high comes crashing down, you'll have to use that move!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xian's pupils dilated, and he thought to himself, "Wind and Moon Sword Qi!"

She glanced furtively at Di Shitian, only to see that her master had also given her a cold look.

That one glance froze Luo Xian in place, like a frozen insect. She couldn't open her mouth, but her mind screamed wildly, "He... he's going to use up Shao Yang's Wind and Moon Sword Qi here!"

Ren Shaoyang seemed oblivious, smiling at Hongxiu and saying, "Don't worry." As he said this, he raised his chin, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

Suddenly, a deep, resonant voice, like the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger, came from a distant island.

"Shenlong Island does not welcome outsiders, get out!"

The moment the words were spoken, the scene before them changed.

Rumble!
The tidal bore rises like a towering peak, towering more than ten feet above the surrounding sea. At first glance, it appears as a vast waterfall cascading down from the sky, rolling in.

The large ship traveled ten zhang upstream, but then encountered a great obstacle, and the ship spun around wildly.

"We can't get through!" a crew member shouted, his hands swishing the rudder left and right like a whirlwind, sweating profusely.

Ren Shaoyang raised an eyebrow and flicked his sleeve. Whoosh! The Dragon-Capturing Sword was drawn, and he leaped into the air.

Then, a white-robed figure, wielding a sword, appeared, his body radiating a dazzling white light, like a moon shadow, as he faced the torrent peak that rose from the ground like a city!
