Chapter 219 - Huang Yaoshi and the Melody of the Rising Tide
Chapter 219: Huang Yaoshi and the Melody of the Rising Tide
“A treasure that contains Transcendent power?”
Ji Ye raised his eyebrows. Every king of Yuan mastered special skills and divine treasures.
Obviously, the white gem that the North King wore must’ve boasted certain abilities to freeze the water currents.
It was a natural enemy to his water-manipulating ability of the Flood Dragon Bloodline!
Boom, boom, boom!
In the frozen water, the Jade Dragon Sword kept shaking and trying to control the Flood Dragon to swallow the North King!
However, the glittering white gem in the North King’s hand consolidated the Flood Dragon as well as the Jade Dragon Sword in it, making it impossible for them to move at all.
However, Ji Ye never really believed in natural enemies.
The Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique stated that the Water Thunder could remove evil dragons and snakes.
However, in reality, the powerful would suppress the weak!
It was pretty straightforward that the Legendary Flood Dragon Bloodline should be more powerful than a Transcendent treasure.
“Roar!”
The Flood Dragon on Ji Ye became even more powerful than before.
A white Dragon Aura dashed out of his body into the sea.
Then, another Flood Dragon weighing more than ten tons dashed out of the sea and forced the North King, who attempted to flee into the river after freezing the Flood Dragon, to return to the deck.
“Freeze!”
However, the North King’s gem glowed even more brightly, and the second Flood Dragon was frozen too.
It could clearly be seen that her arm that was holding the gem was shaking, and sweat was popping up on her forehead.
After that, she dare not stay at all but struggled to turn her direction, trying to dive into the sea from the head of the warship!
“Wuyou… Wuyou…”
At this moment, the weird sound of a flute echoed.
Splash!
Along with the flute performance, the river before the pirate ship surged violently.
Then, it quickly rose higher than the deck like the tide of a sea.
As it turned out, the paddles at the bottom of the warship had been working on their own and taken the warship to the moat of Xiangyang City when nobody controlled the vehicle after it was attacked.
Right on the wall of Xiangyang City, an old man who was tall and slim and had a green robe and a white beard was holding a green flute and playing it!
Splash…
The invisible soundwaves from the flute, mixed with weird True Qi and mental power, melted into the river in the moat after they hit it.
After that, the whole river surged violently, and an enormous tide rose right before the pirate ship.
It was the Melody of the Rising Tide, played by Huang Yaoshi!
After only a quick glance, Ji Ye already figured out who the green-robed old man was.
Only one of the Top Five Experts could control such enormous water currents with music.
Of course, the tide alone couldn’t stop the North King of Yuan, but the tide that was triggered by the Melody of the Rising Tide was still of a lot of help to Ji Ye.
“Thank you very much!” Ji Ye said out.
Then, he burned the Flood Dragon Blood that he had been accumulating in his body these days!
“Roar… Roar… Roar…”
Immediately, the tide before the pirate ship turned into six Flood Dragons that were made of the water of the moat.
They flew towards the North King whose face had changed greatly!
Pew!
Under the dragon’s roar, the hundred tons of water smashed down from all directions as eight dragons. Besieged, the North King attempted to resist them with the power of the white gem, only to vomit blood in the next second.
Both the divine treasures and the special skills could only be activated with one’s own power.
She ranked last among the four kings, and she already did her best to resist the two Flood Dragons with the gem in her hand.
But now, the two Flood Dragons had turned into eight!
Although the new Flood Dragons weren’t enhanced by the Jade Dragon Sword or the Dragon Aura like before, they were still boosted by the Melody of the Rising Tide.
Furthermore, Ji Ye had chosen to burn the Flood Dragon Blood. The power that he unleashed was definitely above Extraordinary Rank-7.
Under such circumstances, the glow on the gem in the North King’s hand dimmed at a visible speed!
Hum!
One second later, the Jade Dragon Sword that was frozen in the water jerked as if it were somehow unchained.
“Roar!”
At that moment, a roaring hideous black Flood Dragon swallowed the desperate North King of Yuan above the moat!
The result wasn’t exactly surprising.
After all, Huang Yaoshi and Ji Ye, who was burning his Flood Dragon Blood, were two Extraordinary Rank-7 experts. Although their combination didn’t have any qualitative changes like that of Gongsun Sheng and Ninth Uncle did, it wasn’t really a problem for them to kill a Yuan king who ranked last.
“You’re… not… rescuing me?”
The moment the Jade Dragon Sword pierced through the chest of the North King, the only female hero seemed rather infuriated and wanted to shout something.
Unfortunately, her voice was eclipsed by the river water that fell upon the deck from the sky and nearly careened the warship!
Wheez!
At the same time, on the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s warship that was left behind, the Nine-tailed Foxes in Chu Yin’s arms suddenly creaked anxiously and gazed at Ji Ye’s back while waving their paws.
Hum!
An unexpected accident happened.
A mass of transparent water gathered into a human shape behind Ji Ye’s back with a piece of one-foot-long chiseled ice in its hand!
Pew!
Then, holding the ice chisel, the shadow knocked at the back of Ji Ye’s head brutally.
He was the leader of the Water Demons and a peak Extraordinary Rank-6 Commander!
“Young Master!”
“Brother Ji!”
“Master Ji!”
The change was truly surprising.
Both Nie Xiaoqian on the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s warship and Zhou Botong, Yang Guo, and other people on the pirate warship changed their expressions, but they had no time to reinforce him.
It must be noted that Ji Ye had just fought the Yuan king, and it showed that this was his real body instead of a Dragon Aura clone!
Therefore, the strike could’ve been fatal!
The leader of the Water Demons chose the perfect timing to attack. It was exactly the moment when Ji Ye killed the North King of Yuan with his full strength.
By common sense, anybody would’ve been relaxed in such a moment and couldn’t react in time to such an assault.
Hum!
However, Ji Ye was able to react.
On his head, a yellow glow that represented earth power appeared out of nowhere and blocked the ice chisel.
Crack!
However, Ji Ye’s mental strength was still Extraordinary Rank-5.
Even though the earth power was the best in defense, it could not completely block the weapon that an Extraordinary Rank-6 expert used for the attack!
The earthen glow shattered like a rock, and the transparent tip of the chisel kept pressing on to Ji Ye’s head.
Pew!
But in the next moment, the ice chisel was blocked by another power, and the burning True Qi flowed back on his arm, resulting in abundant smoke on the Water Demon leader’s arm!
The protection of True Qi that the Nine Yang Divine Art entailed after reaching Extraordinary Rank-7 had been completely inherited by the Yin and Yang Sutra.
“Not good!”
Sensing the burning heat on his arm, the Extraordinary Rank-6 Water Demon leader reacted fast enough.
He abandoned the ice chisel in his hand and quickly transformed into transparent water currents!
Boom!
But he was still one step slower. A mallet, which had been enshrouded in a yellow light, smashed his head as unexpectedly as he attacked Ji Ye.
Then, the Water Demon leader entered into the state of water by force.
“Three, two, one…”
Ji Ye secretly counted down.
Pew!
At the edge of the deck, a mass of water exploded in a green light, revealing the Water Demon leader.
There was a broken hole on the back of his head, and his blood dyed the deck red.
It was the Yellow Mallet’s Transcendent ability, which could instill the power of destruction into a target and detonate it!
The Yellow Mallet wasn’t stuck to the man long enough to kill him in one blow, but even so, the man had been hit by Ji Ye’s True Qi at first and then struck in the head. He was gravely wounded even though he was at the peak of Extraordinary Rank-6.
“I’m rather curious. As the North King’s subordinate, you should’ve noticed that her situation wasn’t good, and you should’ve disrupted me to rescue her. But why did you not take any action until she died?”
Instead of killing the Water Demon leader in a hurry, Ji Ye interrogated him.
The Water Demon leader was absolutely better at stealth than other Water Demons were.
Even he didn’t sense the Water Demon leader at all before the battle.
However, when he was burning his Flood Dragon Blood, his senses on the water had been greatly enhanced, and it was impossible for the man to escape!
According to his senses, the Water Demon leader had a chance to rescue the North King, but the man intentionally dawdled and didn’t do anything.
The North King seemed to have realized that too, which was why she cried out like that before her death.
“Hu… You want to know the reason? Fine. As long as you spare my life, I’ll—”
Breathing heavily, the Water Demon leader said, but he still jumped off the deck and into the river quickly in the next second!
Pew!
However, while he was still midair, a bloody saber aura slashed out of the river, and Ruan Xiaoer leaped out with the bloodthirsty Tiger Shark Saber in his hand. He cut the heavily-wounded leader of the Yuan people’s special unit into halves!
