Chapter 482 - River Battle
Chapter 475
/*unedited*/
The beautiful scenery of the almost endless river looks stunning and overwhelming. It's like a majestic presence that can overwhelm anyone who stands in its presence. This wonderful nature is now being invaded by humans and is being disturbed greatly.
Right at this moment, two huge fleets of warships are facing each other about the great waters of the Xu River.
Shin Jiao can see many of the ships that have already destroyed slowly sinks to the river's bottom.
"Senior Ji, master Ji, please… please help me… my grandmother… my grandmother is on that ship. Please help her… I can't bear to lose her…" cried Fifi as she begs Shin Jiao.
Shin Jiao scanned the ship that she is pointing and he can see a single woman on the ship. However, to say that the woman is Fifi Lao's grandmother made Shin Jiao feel a bit surprised. This is because the woman, who is currently lying on the bed with her robe drench in blood, looks like she is only in her 30's.
Well, Shin Jiao is not surprised anymore. In this world, there are some herbs or mystic fruits that can preserve one's beauty. Plus once one can reach high cultivation, one can automatically regain one's vitality and youth.
So although he was a bit surprised, Shin Jiao can already accept this fact. Shin Jiao has redirected his absolute sense and by doing so he was able to use his eyes to observe the ship. Although the ship is far, it was easy for him to see what's inside it as his eyes now acted like an x-ray able to see through objects.
This is one of the skills he has learned in his free time and while tinkering and improving his new contact lens.
"Alright, I'll try to help her, but once I do that we are going to be the enemy of those from the other fleet. Are you guys ready to face them in a fight?"
This question from Shin Jiao made Fifi and the rest of the guards and maids think for a bit. But since these women are loyal servants of Fifi, they all nodded their heads in agreement.
"Alright, I'll be going then. You guys take good care of yourselves and hope that you can stay safe here." Shin Jiao said as he suddenly bends down and was about to jump.
"Wait, Master Ji… what are you going to do? Don't tell me you wanted to jump to the other ship? If you do that, the creatures in this water will surely get you." Fifi said as she suddenly pointed at the fishes that are swimming on the water.
Shin Jiao was a bit confused, however, he carefully observes the fishes and there he found that these fishes are not simple. They are actually flesh-eating water creatures. With an idea in mind, Shin Jiao suddenly threw out a beast from his ring.
When the beast carcass was in the air, the water suddenly broke into a big splash and a huge fish jumps out. The fish's color is like that of the river's water and its size is almost as big as the warship that Shin Jiao and the rest are riding in.
"That is one huge fish…" Shin Jiao muttered in shock.
He didn't know what would happen if he got eaten by that thing. He may be able to survive but it's a bit troublesome.
However, before Shin Jiao could disregard the fish-like creature, he was astounded when he saw it skin turning transparent. He was even surprised to not be able to detect any aura or presence from that thing. Seeing this, he immediately expands his absolute sense and spiritual sense to test out the stealth ability of the fish-like creature.
And true to his conjecture, his spiritual sense can't sense that huge fish. However, it still could not escape his absolute sense. But once it enters the river water, Shin Jiao was once again surprised as he discovers the fish to blend with the whole river and vanish even from his absolute sense.
"This… this is dangerous… yet a good source of the material." Shin Jiao said with a grin.
He looks at the women behind him and showed a grin.
"You girls are carrying flying swords, right? Can you catch that thing for me?" Shin Jiao said.
Hearing his words, everyone was confused. Fifi who is already worried about her grandmother showed an anxious expression on her face.
"Hey, don't worry too much. Your grandmother is safe… plus I didn't want to alert anyone from the enemy ship… We do this first, and then I help your grandmother." Shin Jiao assured.
He is currently aware of the situation, but he knows that if he acts rashly the situation will turn from bad to worse. Plus he is traveling with these women. If only he can jump to the other ship, then it would become easier. However, upon seeing the fish's ability he became curious and wanted to obtain such material for experimentation.
With that, Shin Jiao takes out his sniper rifle and then threw out another corpse of a beast. In doing so, the huge fish once again jumps out of the river.
However, this time, Shin Jiao didn't let it land as he quickly shots its head.
Puchi!
The bullet entering the fish's head made it wriggle in pain. But before it enters the river, Shin Jiao suddenly shouted, "Catch it now!"
This sudden shout from Shin Jiao made the women move accordingly. They immediately threw their flying swords and threw it towards the giant fish. And then, with great effort they made their swords carry that heavy thing towards the ship.
Shin Jiao didn't hesitate and quickly absorb the dead fish in his ring.
"This is a good material…" he muttered.
Shin Jiao suddenly took out a hooded cape. Then he immediately activated the cape's function and his figure slowly vanished. However, his presence can still be sensed by the women. Once again he bends his knees and prepares to jump.
Fifi who discovers that she cannot see Shin Jiao anymore frowns. But when she uses her spiritual sense, she immediately saw what Shin Jiao is doing. Seeing his action, she was flabbergasted. She didn't know why Shin Jiao would still do such a thing when there are more giant fishes in the river.
Shin Jiao already knew this but still decided to jump as he truly didn't want the ship he is in to be in danger or ruined.
And so when he already jumps in the air, he immediately saw those giant fishes jumping out of the water and opening their mouth filled with razor-sharp teeth. But before a fish could eat him, he would immediately throw out a carcass of a giant spider.
Shin Jiao successfully landed on the deck of the ship and no one even noticed him. This is because before his feet could touch the deck, he immediately hovers and landed silently.
Although the restraint in this river is too strong, Shin Jiao can still resist it, with great effort though.
"There is truly something deep in this river." He muttered after releasing and dispersing the extra Qi and mana outside of his body.
Shin Jiao began to help the ship with Fifi's grandmother. Using his trusty sniper rifle, he began to once again become the god of death on the battlefield.
He saw many people casting and wielding talismans while sending range attacks towards the warship where Fifi's grandmother is currently recuperating.
"That was a bad move…" Shin Jiao muttered as he carefully aimed at those people.
And once he pulled the trigger, another onslaught has begun.
He was able to shot with pinpoint accuracy to those people sending long-range attacks towards the ship where he is in. With him already on the ship, he didn't want the ship to suffer more damage than it already has.
He then took another shot this time he imbued the bullet inside the sniper rifle with one whole sphere of energy from his dantian. This made the sniper rifle glow bright yellow which attracted some people.
In this fight, there are more than 3 nascent realm experts on the enemy side while on the Si city fleet only has two and one of them is already wounded. So when Shin Jiao filled one bullet with his Qi, these people immediately felt the disturbance in the air.
It should be known that Shin Jiao is already in the nascent realm equivalent of cultivation level which is 60 spheres. With his strong Qi is would surely cause the air in the surrounding to ripple.
"Damn it! I thought that woman was already down… I didn't know that she still can move."
"That is impossible my blade is poisoned with a strong Qi suppressant, even if she is in the middle stages of the nascent realm she could not resist this suppression."
Boom!!!
Before they can think, a loud explosion reverberated through the air which made even the water became turbulent. This explosion made everyone in the whole enemy fleet became cautious. This is because the explosion was too strong that it even manages to damage the other ships around that area.
The nascent realm expert immediately stops their relaxed attitude and immediately ran towards the bow of their ships. They shifted their gaze to the area where the ship was destroyed and what they saw dumbfounded them. They didn't even know what to say upon seeing the devastation that had happened.
This is because not only one ship was destroyed by three in a line. The nascent realm expert immediately sent their spiritual sense towards the ship where Shin Jiao is. When they saw a young man without spiritual undulation standing smugly on the ship's deck they were all confused.
"This… did that mortal did this?"
"Impossible! That boy is not that simple… he is not a mere mortal."
"Attack that ship! Destroy them!"
The three nascent realm experts immediately commanded in panic.
