Protect Our Chief-Chapter 603 - 53: "Old Servant" Shows Power * Liyao Arrives_3
He nodded slightly, "Alright, I’ll leave it to the Fourteenth Commander."
"Thank you, Patriarch. Rest assured, I’ll handle it splendidly for you~" Gao Tian laughed heartily, immediately standing up and striding towards the cabin’s exit.
When he reached the bow of the ship, he stood there boldly, sweeping his tiger-like eyes across, "Where is Patriarch Wang Shouzhe of the Wang Family? Our Patriarch Long invites him aboard for a talk."
His voice thundered through the sky like a storm, resonating powerfully, its aura impressive.
The onlookers at the dock couldn’t help but be astonished, gasping in amazement.
The Jiaolong Gang indeed deserved its reputation as an overlord-level power. Even a random member possessed such formidable presence. And their Patriarch, Long Wuji, was said to be a top-tier cultivator of the Purple Mansion Realm.
For a moment, those inclined towards the Wang Family couldn’t help but worry secretly. Having provoked such a fearsome enemy, how could this be settled?
Suddenly.
At this moment.
A crisp and pleasant female voice rang out, "This is the territory of our Changning Wang Family. Who do you think you are to call my father’s name directly?!"
As the words fell.
A slender figure appeared on the river, riding the waves towards them.
The figure was clad in a flowing cyan gauze dress, her eyebrows charming like brilliant spring blossoms, her figure graceful like spring water. Though she seemed no older than twenty, with a hint of youthfulness in her features, she was already showing signs of exceptional beauty.
Dense Primordial Water Spiritual Qi swirled around her, like mist, adding a touch of vagueness to her form, yet heightening her mystery. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Amidst the rushing river backdrop, she seemed to possess an additional aura of majesty, resembling an immortal child from a heavenly scroll, inspiring unexplainable reverence.
Seeing this figure, Gao Tian was first taken aback by her aura, but upon closer inspection, he found that her cultivation was only at the early stage of the Spirit Platform Realm, allowing him to relax.
"A mere Spirit Platform Realm cultivator, daring to speak so brazenly." He sneered, "Is Wang Shouzhe out of people to send, that they let a naive young girl stand up for him?"
"Hmph~"
Wang Liyao’s gaze turned cold.
The one thing she couldn’t tolerate was anyone belittling her father, Wang Shouzhe. This fellow had insulted Wang Shouzhe twice in a row, thoroughly angering her.
Without wasting a word, she raised her hand, and the upper-grade spiritual artifact "Qiushui Sword" at her waist suddenly unsheathed.
A sword light as though made of water swiftly shot out.
The sword light drifted like a ripple on the river, slip without a trace of worldly impurity, yet with extraordinary speed.
In a mere instant, the sword light had skimmed across the surging river and appeared before Gao Tian.
Seeing this, Gao Tian’s expression didn’t change at all.
He had just ascended from the Spirit Platform Realm to the Celestial Human Realm. He had deep insight into the vast difference in strength between these realms.
He couldn’t believe that a mere Spirit Platform Realm cultivator could pose any threat to him.
He casually swung a palm, intending to disperse the sword light.
However, the powerful palm force belonging to a Celestial Human Realm expert touched the sword light, and instead of dispersing it as he had expected, the sword light directly shattered it into pieces.
In the spreading sword light, an indescribable charm unfurled like a ripple of autumn water, or a vast river current, imbued with an ineffable, intimidating might.
"Sword Intent?!"
Gao Tian’s face changed, finally realizing something was wrong.
However, by the time he reacted, it was too late.
He hastily activated his cultivation technique in an attempt to defend, but that sliver of sword intent had already reached him, erupting with overpowering force.
"Boom~!"
A tremendous rumbling sound erupted, and Gao Tian was sent flying, crashing heavily into another ship beside him, directly snapping the mast into two halves.
The middle-grade spiritual artifact leather armor he wore was torn open by a massive gash, with blood staining the entire lapel crimson.
Fortunately, he was used to wearing spirit armor daily. Otherwise, that single sword intent could have claimed half his life. He didn’t possess a body cultivator’s robust physique capable of resisting sword intent with mere flesh.
This scene was beyond everyone’s expectations. Not only did the Jiaolong Gang members take a fright, but all the onlookers on the ferry and at the dock were also startled.
A Celestial Human Realm expert from the Jiaolong Gang was actually knocked back by a young girl in the early stage of the Spirit Platform Realm?
Though it seemed that Gao Tian was careless and didn’t defend properly, no one expected such an outcome.
What... what is going on?
"Primordial Water Spirit Body?! Primordial Water Sword Intent?!" Finally struggling to get up, Desolate Saber Gao Tian’s face had completely changed, "Could it be, you are the legendary Great Celestial Pride ’Miss Liyao’?!"
As the Fourteenth Commander of the Jiaolong Gang, his knowledge and vision were not trivial. Naturally, he recognized that the sword intent just now was unmistakably Primordial Water Sword Intent.
This young woman clearly had only the early-stage Spirit Platform Realm’s strength, yet she had already mastered sword intent, and it was the Primordial Water Sword Intent... With what the Academy Elder mentioned about "Miss Liyao," how could he not guess her identity?
Only that renowned Academy Great Celestial Pride, the heir of Celestial River Zhenren, could match all the conditions. Not just him; others quickly came to realization as well, their faces showing expressions of shock.
"Miss Liyao, you have arrived." Shang Jiping politely offered Wang Liyao a distant bow, his demeanor exceptionally respectful. And in his eyes, there was also a hint of pride.
This was indeed Miss Liyao, the Great Celestial Pride whom he served.
Miss Liyao, oh Miss Liyao, I wish the old servant could live to see the day you make your mark across the world.
Inside the tower ship.
Long Wuji’s eyes revealed a hint of an unusual expression.
...
