Gu Long: Dominating the Martial Arts World Starting from Transmigrating as A Fei

Chapter 152 The Hero of the Waterways (Please Subscribe)

The awning boat stopped after it approached Afei and his group.

Lianxing had become more vigilant, while Afei seemed to be deep in thought.

Suddenly the figure spoke.

The voice was loud and powerful, clearly the kind of voice someone would have to speak loudly on the water all the time.

The voice laughed heartily, "Who do we have here? It's just three little kids!"

The figure stuck out its nose and sniffed the aroma of grilled fish in the air, praising, "Not bad, not bad. It's been a long time since I've seen someone cook sturgeon so deliciously."

As he spoke, the figure at the bow of the boat suddenly sprang up, leaping ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) and landing directly in front of A Fei and his two companions.

Lianxing's pretty face tightened as her icy true energy covered her body.

To everyone's surprise, the man didn't even glance at her, but looked directly at A-Fei.

At this moment, Afei finally saw the man's true colors.

He was dressed as a boatman, looked to be nearly sixty years old, with a broad face, a thick beard, and a dignified appearance.

Although he looked energetic, the hair at his temples had begun to turn gray.

What he held in his hand wasn't a fishing rod, but a bamboo pole; it just looked too thin because of his large hands and thick arms.

As soon as the person jumped over, Afei's system popped up.

[Shi Yangtian detected; technique detected: "Seven-Colored Rong"; analysis to begin.]

Ah Fei suddenly realized that this boatman was none other than Shi Yangtian, the "Great Hero of the Yangtze River".

Right now, Shi Yangtian is at the height of his fame.

Not only is the Yangtze River his territory, but heroes from all thirty-six waterways across the world treat him with utmost respect!

Rumor has it that this person's father was Shi Jinhong, the owner of the Seven-Colored Ship who once illuminated the martial arts world and roamed the seven seas.

Many years ago, Shi Jinhong won the title of the world's number one martial arts master with her superb skills. She was the top martial arts expert and the number one knight-errant in the martial arts world.

Moreover, he was one of the people who learned the "Mingyu Gong".

When Shi Yangtian was young, he became famous in the martial arts world just because of the "Red Gang" in his father Shi Jinhong's "Seven Colors of Rong".

This demonstrates the power of the "Seven-Colored Rong".

Shi Yangtian now hardly needs to use the Seven-Colored Rong anymore.

Instead, he could defeat the vast majority of his opponents in the martial arts world with a single move of his Iron Lotus Seed hidden weapon.

His skill with hidden weapons is unparalleled in the martial arts world.

But Afei wasn't sure whether Shi Yangtian was friend or foe, since he had suddenly appeared in front of him.

Shi Yangtian looked A Fei up and down and laughed, "This old man followed the aroma here. Little brat, did you cook this fish?"

Ah Fei clasped his hands together and handed over the fish he hadn't eaten yet without thinking, saying, "I'm not very skilled; I only know some basic cooking techniques."

"If you don't mind, sir, please give your opinion."

Although it is unknown whether Shi Yangtian is friend or foe, the fact that he appeared openly and honestly at least shows that he is not a treacherous villain.

Ah Fei still showed the respect due to his seniors.

To everyone's surprise, Shi Yangtian puffed out his beard, glared at him, and said, "What kind of twisted logic is this? Why should I give it to you just because I want it? You don't owe me anything!"

Afei was taken aback, his brows furrowed, and he thought to himself, "Is Shi Yangtian here to cause trouble?"

Regardless of whether it was Shaolin or the Beggars' Sect that invited this great deity.

If he really is here to deal with me, then this is extremely troublesome.

Along the Yangtze River, Shi Yangtian was like a dragon coiled on the river; anyone wanting to cross had to get his permission.

Whether traveling from south to north or from north to south, one must cross the river.

Unless you go out to sea yourself or go around upstream.

In that case, it would probably take another six months.

Lianxing had clearly recognized Shi Yangtian by now, after all, she had dealt with him when she went north with Yaoyue.

She frowned and snapped, "Old man Shi, you—"

Before Lianxing could continue speaking, Shi Yangtian burst into laughter and said, "However, you are quite humble, and you suit my temperament."

"Unlike some prodigies who become famous at a young age, they don't have their eyes on the top of their heads."

Then, she turned to Lianxing and said with a smile, "Isn't this the Second Palace Master of the 'Yihua Palace'? You've returned from beyond the Great Wall?"

Lianxing's pretty face showed no kindness. She snorted coldly and said, "Yes, I, with my arrogant attitude, have disappointed you, senior."

She is only twenty-two years old this year, yet she is already the renowned Second Palace Master of the Yihua Palace.

Isn't he the "young genius who became famous at a young age" that Shi Yangtian mentioned?

Shi Yangtian was clearly still holding a grudge because of the unpleasant incident that had happened between him and his sister when they went north.

Lianxing couldn't help but guess that Shi Yangtian was probably here to block their way.

However, at that time, both she and her sister's "Mingyu Gong" were still at the seventh level, and it was only by joining forces that they were able to barely match Shi Yangtian.

Now that she's already reached the eighth level, why would she be afraid of this person?

Shi Yangtian laughed and said, "You two sisters are still young, and I won't take any minor unpleasantness to heart."

Lianxing's beautiful eyes showed disbelief as she asked, "Then why did you come here to stop us?"

Shi Yangtian smiled and said, "Didn't I say I just came to ask for a piece of fish?"

Despite saying this, and even though Afei had already handed over his fish, Shi Yangtian clearly had no intention of taking it.

He clearly didn't come for that reason.

It's possible that he took his anger out on Lianxing because Yaoyue was very rude to him at the time.

How could such a great hero, the master of all waterways in the world, be so petty?

Actually, that's not the case. People in the martial arts world value face. If you give me face, I'll give you face in return.

vice versa.

Afei gently grasped Lianxing's supple arm, stopping her from continuing, and took over the conversation, saying, "I didn't know you'd come from so far away, sir. What brings you here?"

Seeing that Lianxing and Shi Yangtian couldn't reach an agreement, he tentatively asked.

Clearly, Shi Yangtian had a problem with Lianxing, but his words didn't seem to indicate that he wanted to cause trouble for Yihua Palace.

But he insisted on coming, and Afei felt that Shi Yangtian must have had a reason for coming.

Otherwise, if they look down on Yaoyue and Lianxing, and don't want to antagonize the Yihua Palace, they can simply avoid seeing them.

Sure enough, when Shi Yangtian saw that it was A Fei speaking, he said with a smile, "I have no instruction, but I have a good friend to ask you some questions."

"If you, little one, come to cross the river, let me help you with this little favor."

Ah Fei thought for a moment, and then it dawned on him.

He already knows who gave the order.

This "Great Hero of the Yangtze River" is unmatched on the Yangtze River.

When bandits and tyrants from the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world) arrive in the Yangtze River region, they are sure to be massacred, and almost no one can survive.

He was once criticized by Pang Wen, the Dragon, who called himself the "Head of the Four Spirits" among the "Twelve Zodiac Signs," for cutting off people's livelihoods.

He was ambushed and seriously injured.

Long Xiang Pang Wen is the strategist of the "Twelve Constellations" organization, and is extremely cunning and unparalleled in wisdom.

Later, by chance, Shi Yangtian was rescued by Master Shenxi of the Emei Sect.

Therefore, Shi Yangtian owed Master Shenxi a life-saving favor.

Afei guessed that Master Shenxi must have entrusted his affairs to this head of the waterways.
