Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1220 - 712: The Split Ship

This so-called master had not actually revealed their true identity, but from Hell’s Wan Ge’s perspective, seeing such a massive assassination force from the Dongying side rushing toward Li Yuan—at least twenty or thirty people—it was impossible for his guards to fend them off by themselves. Someone must be secretly helping.

However, Hell’s Wan Ge didn’t care; according to Sui Yi’s instructions, they only needed to try to prevent key political figures of this era from dying. She mentioned trying, but how could she and Natasha allow any unfortunate accidents to occur beyond that attempt?

Li Yuan would not die.

Hell’s Wan Ge landed, the scythe in her hand swirling and raising a wave of blades, spiraling around to cleave through the visible and hidden ninjas attacking head-on. Whether in the light or hidden, they had physical forms, right? Moreover, their concealment could never surpass the perceptive ability of Hell’s Wan Ge, second only to Sui Yi. Hence, the spiral scythe wave swept across, directly slicing out dozens of chunks of flesh and heads...

The scene was bloodier than the methods of the Dongying people.

Li Yuan and the few civil officials’ faces subtly changed.

They dared not look at this woman ahead any longer, no matter how beautiful she was.

On Hell’s Wan Ge’s side, the blades rose everywhere, attacking the ninjas without any hesitation. It should be known these were Dongying people; according to Sui Yi’s earlier directive, likely killing these Dongying people wouldn’t be prevented. Since arriving in this world and following Sui Yi, the slaughter had been much restrained for Hell’s Wan Ge; her eyes narrowed as she finally unleashed the most primal killing techniques.

On the other side, Natasha had already cleared the sixth ship. It wasn’t that she was too fast, but many ninjas seeing the situation had jumped into the water.

Using the water as cover to escape Natasha’s fire magic.

Thus, the originally exhilarating massacre at the dock turned quiet.

The water’s surface became calm as well.

This quietness made people anxious.

The people at the dock looked at the seven ships that had inexplicably quietened, someone wondered: "Could it be the Dongying people have been driven away?"

"Looks like someone came to help; weren’t there two helpers coming down from the last ship just now?"

In fact, it was only Natasha and Hell’s Wan Ge who came; Fu Junnuo due to territorial identity reasons couldn’t come, and Sui Yi didn’t call her, otherwise it would be too difficult. But once these two arrived, the scene was controlled; even the involved parties couldn’t believe it was so simple.

Natasha stood at the bow of the sixth ship, exchanging a glance with Hell’s Wan Ge on Green Dragon Yan.

The situation was rather ominous.

It seems the hidden hand Sui Yi mentioned now...

Rustle,

Hell’s Wan Ge suddenly heard a sound.

She went to the edge of the railing, gazing at the sea surface...

Gazing at it, her brows furrowed tightly, she coldly murmured: "Hold tight, dock! There’s something below."

What?

The authority brought by the previous slaughter was still effective; previously, how could Li Yuan and these people possibly heed a young, unfamiliar woman’s words? But now instinctively, they followed suit; Li Yuan had just grabbed onto a pillar.

Already standing on the railing, Hell’s Wan Ge and Natasha saw under the water...Ripples arose! Something was coming up! An uproar! A thunderous crash sounded, then the entire Green Dragon Yan started shaking...as if there was a terrifying force beneath tugging at it! Fortunately, they had just grabbed hold of something, preventing those on the ship from slipping and colliding to death, but under the ship...

"What’s under the water?"

"It seems something is gripping the ship..."

Witnessing this scene, the people at the dock naturally had their imaginations run wild, and among those on the dock, Hou Xibai stood among them, staring intently at Li Yuan on the ship, his gaze extremely profound.

"Couldn’t it be Sea Demons?" Some nearby civilians cried out in terror.

This statement made Hou Xibai’s brow twitch.

Sea Demons have finally arrived?

The surface of the water churned and surged, the sea wind fiercely blowing as Hell’s Wan Ge clung to the railing, seeing a massive shadow beneath the water gripping the ship’s bottom board...

She just intended to jump down for a closer look when suddenly, Boom!

A fireball blasted into the water, exploding wide.

A water wave erupted, and Natasha waved several fireball pellets with her palm, swiftly bombarding the shadow underwater; such quick reverence made even Li Yuan and others think if there was a dragon under the water, it should be blasted into fish soup by now.

But at precisely this moment...

Boom!

Four extraordinarily large tentacles suddenly extended from underwater, two clutching the Green Dragon Crescent Blade’s railing from the sides, while the other two targeted Hell’s Wan Ge and Natasha with unparalleled precision.

The tentacles were like octopus claws, yet equipped with numerous gory barbs. The thickest part of the tentacles was as wide as three elephant legs, and even the thinnest was thicker than Natasha’s arms. They lashed out directly!
