Chapter Twenty-Three: Leap Down
The moon sparkles in the broken water, and the absurdity of the ship.
The girl's body was exposed to the moonlight, white and flawless, like a delicate flower that was blooming, but at the moment it was ravaged by a pair of dirty hands.
Jing Che suddenly stopped struggling, and a thick mist appeared in his narrow peach blossom eyes. Under the inky black sky, she smiled sadly, like a blooming charming epiphany, and whispered softly: "You all die, you all die." β
The man froze.
He didn't expect that such a complicated and bewitching look would suddenly appear on this girl's face.
What everyone didn't expect was that a silver light suddenly exploded with her light call, straight into the sky, illuminating the entire bleak night.
"Ah Cheβ" Baili Feng couldn't restrain himself any longer, and finally broke out with a heart-rending call.
In that silver light, only he could see clearly, the small and resolute figure standing on the side of the ship and jumping down. Her long hair bulged in the wind, thin as if there was no future.
Under the moonlight, above the sea, it is like a bewitching flying dance, dancing is sadness, dancing is goodbye.
She didn't look back, didn't leave a look, only a shallow ripple in the sea. The shattered waves regrouped, and the pitch-black waters obscured her sinking trajectory.
"What is this!" Xiao Ember was suddenly shocked.
At this moment, three large ships came in the distance, and the sound of cannons roared again over the sea.
Before everyone could react from the shock of the silver light, the sudden sound of the cannon was shocking.
Xiao Yan fixed his eyes, and first fell on the stool in anger, and his eyes were instantly murderous: "Damn! It's Chi Yuan, the turtle grandson, who is here! β
"Mention ...... Why would the Admiral shoot at us? β
"Lao Tzu went to his sea area without saying hello to him, can he not take the opportunity to run to Lao Tzu's head to pee!" Xiao Ember roared at the lieutenant general, "Open the cannon!" Shoot at them! β
"But...... Our cannons are filled with seawater......" The adjutant general ducked aside with some trepidation before daring to reply.
His eyes were full of angry bloodshots, and Xiao Shen was irritable and unwillingly ordered: "Turn around and go back!" β
Most of the soldiers on board had no sailing experience, and they were suddenly in a mess amid the sound of cannons and orders.
Baili Feng stood majestically among the chaotic crowd, and his cold eyes gradually overflowed with murderous aura. As the panicked soldier passed by him, he struck out, wringing off his head with force and mercilessly, and throwing it at his feet, allowing the gushing blood to stain his robe.
Everyone didn't know why, only Xiao Shen reacted, grabbed the sword quickly, and flew to stab him.
The blood unhurriedly soaked the God Slaughter Rope on his ankle, and it was not until the tip of the sword was about to pierce into the center of his eyebrows that Baili Fengma leaned back and flew up and kicked away the sword in Xiao Yan's hand.
Some artifacts will be more powerful once they are nourished by blood, while some artifacts are too domineering due to their own strength, and it will backfire and lose their divinity if they drain blood, and the God Butcher Rope happens to belong to the latter, so it can only be used once.
was shocked to the point that his wrist was numb, and the sword came out of his hand, Xiao Shen realized that the so-called sword saint in front of him, whom he disdained a lot, although he showed himself as a drunkard, once he had a real killing intent, he was so unstoppable - no wonder the empire had never revoked his bounty order for so many years.
Xiao Ember retracted his slight shock and swept the sea, seeing that the three menacing warships had surrounded his ship.
And as soon as he left the shackles, he became a bloodthirsty Shura in an instant, from a free-spirited wine sword immortal, with a sweeping momentum - the worst death was the soldier who volunteered, and was unloaded with eight horizontal corpse decks.
After fighting out of the encirclement, Baili Kazema jumped into the sea without hesitation.
Even if it is a needle in the bottom of the sea, I want to make up for it.
"Stop chasing!" Xiao Ember drank the soldiers, and his voice was cold, "Send someone to the Chiyuan ship first-"
"Explain the situation." Squeezing these words out of between his teeth, his eyes almost burst into flames. However, if he doesn't make peace with Chi Yuan at this moment, I'm afraid that even if he dies on this ship today, he can only say that Chi Yuan has fulfilled his duties well.
The eldest husband can stretch and contract, and on his territory, he endures this breath. In the future, above the court, this revenge will be avenged!
This time he went south and failed, and he couldn't catch a hundred miles of wind even if he set up blood shackles, and now he is desperate and bold to overstep his power, and he wants to intercept him at sea and fails! Could it be that this pair of masters and apprentices is really his nemesis?
The resentment in his heart could not be calmed, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that a warship had sailed behind him, and he was head-to-head with his ship.
There was a man in purple standing on the side of the boat over there, with delicate eyebrows and a long body, more delicate than ordinary Lincang people. He raised his voice sarcastically: "Chi Yuan didn't know that General Xiao was coming, and he was offended, so I made amends to the general first." β
Xiao Shen snorted and didn't answer.
Chi Yuan is just a small sailor from a fishing village pariah, relying on the emperor's appreciation, it is just an equal to him in the position of admiral, and he has competed with him in the court many times, so arrogant. Three generations of his family generals, great achievements, but the emperor often favors Chi Yuan, let him suffer dumb losses in public, this time also because of the astrologer's prophecy, he sent him to the south, saying that "to explore the truth of the Qiye Emperor's mausoleum, to find the Liuhe Divine Seal".
"I don't know how General Xiao ran to the sea, I thought who was so bold in the middle of the night and fired artillery on the sea." Innuendo.
"There is an urgency to arrest Qin, so I don't have time to report to the Admiral." Xiao Yan didn't look at him squarely, but because he was on his territory, his tone was not too disdainful.
"Then is General Xiao going to return here, or will he continue to arrest the Qin criminals?" Standing on the side of the ship, facing the sea breeze of hunting, Chi Yuan saw that his three warships had surrounded Xiao Yan's ship with absolute superiority.
There was a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes, tonight was an excellent time to finish off Xiao Ember unconsciously. Even if he returns to the imperial capital to restore his life, it is a big deal to say that General Xiao led his troops into the sea without authorization, the ship was destroyed by random shelling, and the people have disappeared, then he will never be blamed - but it is too early.
"Return, sail." Xiao Yan held back the fire in his belly and gritted his teeth.

"Why hasn't she woken up yet?"
"It's okay to say it's okay."
In a trance, Jing Che heard the conversation between an old man and a young man, and his consciousness gradually recovered, but his whole body was extremely sore, as if he was still falling into the heavy seawater.
There was silence all around, and only after a while did footsteps slowly pace, and a figure covered her bed.
Being stared at by the sleeping face, I always feel extremely uncomfortable, but I hesitate whether to wake up or not, and my thick curled eyelashes tremble unconsciously.
The man laughed, "Wake up and get up." β
Jing Che simply didn't pretend, and sat up with her elbows struggling, and the man put a pillow behind her.
"Girl, how does your body feel?"
Feel...... How does she feel?
Jing Che shuddered involuntarily. The cold of her skin exposed under the moonlight, the cold surrounded by water in the sea, and even more lingering was the cold in Master's indifferent eyes, all of which made her unbearable.
She dodged for a moment and said vaguely, "It's okay." β
Sensing that something was slightly wrong in the atmosphere, the man changed the subject: "Now we are at sea, but we haven't found your master yetβ"
Jing Che's tone was cold: "What are you looking for him to do?" β
The man was choked for a while, and he had heard people talk about what happened on the ship, which was really unbearable, but as an outsider, he couldn't say much, so he had to find another topic: "I don't know the girl's name yet." β
"Ache." He changed his surname, so he deliberately didn't say it.
"In Shimochigaki."
Jing Che carefully measured the person in front of him, his eyebrows were handsome, his expression was kind, his complexion was a healthy wheat color tanned by the sea breeze, and his eyes were deep, but he couldn't tell which ethnic group he was, both the strength of the Lincang people and the delicate spirit of the Zhenyi people.
She squinted her eyes vigilantly, shrunk her body, and buried her face in the shadow of the bed curtain: "Are you from Lincang?" β
"Not really."
"Oh?"
"My father is a Lincang fisherman, and my mother is a Zhenyi person."
No wonder his appearance alone is indistinguishable. Jing Che thought in his mind, so is he heading towards Zhenyi or towards Lincang?
Chi Yuan seemed to see her vigilance, smiled politely, and said, "You don't have to be nervous, I won't do anything to you, when I find your master, I'll treat youβ"
A chilling gaze forced his words to stop abruptly, and the girl's expression was overly resolute: "Whoever wants to go with him, I will cut off the master-apprentice relationship with him." β
"Actually, the Juggernaut later jumped into the sea to find you...... Now there is no trace of it,"
Jing Che was still cold-eyed, but the corners of his mouth were twitching, and he couldn't speak.
He jumped into the sea to find her? But why did he let her be insulted and indifferent? Why let her jump down and remain indifferent?
