Chapter 288: Chapter 284: Another One (Request for Monthly Ticket and Subscription) Hearing the One-eyed Dragon’s words, Xiao He squinted his eyes slightly and furrowed his brows, just about to speak. “You two step back, the real guest has arrived.” Ye Tian said calmly, took a slight step forward, and then stepped back again. “Hmm, someone is coming from behind, pretty fast.” Ye Tian said with a faint smile, returning to stand between Xia Yanran and Lu Qingwen. At this moment, a waterspout as high as a dozen yards suddenly erupted in front of the pirate ship. Everyone could vaguely see a black shadow dart out like lightning. Liu Junlong’s proud smile had not yet faded as he boasted to the merchants. In this instant, the smile froze on his face. In his pupils, the waterspout revealed a gigantic black skull, so enormous and terrifying, it roared and burst through the water’s surface, roughly the size of an adult human body. Just one skull was as big as an adult. If it were complete, wouldn’t a person in front of it seem like an ant? Previously, Xiao He had thought the One-eyed Dragon’s defeat was too quick. The Black Army was notorious and ruthless in the Martial Arts World, and there was no way they would just send a small soldier to die for a single Spiritual Medicine. As expected, the real boss was lurking in the shadows. The figure of a Black Robed Man gradually enlarged in Xiao He’s pupils, his sinister aura almost choking him. Especially that black skull, it was much stronger than the previous one. This was not something a Dark-grade Stage One could handle. Watching the black skull, Xiao He felt incredibly insignificant and was overcome with a deep fear from within. His internal injures could no longer be suppressed in the face of this terror. “Pfft!!” Xiao He spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground and dropped to one knee, his hand trembling and gripping the floor. He wanted to turn and tell Liu Junlong to run, but the fear gripped him so tightly that he couldn’t move a single fingertip. Not only him, but everyone who witnessed this scene was frozen in place, unable to move, as if petrified by a spell. “What’s wrong with you all?” “What happened???” Boasting to the merchants, Liu Junlong turned and saw the wealthy men, who were smiling moments ago, with mouths agape and bodies trembling, as if they had seen a ghost. As he was thinking this, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him, freezing cold. He slowly turned around and saw an unforgettable scene—a black skull, larger than himself, radiating black mist, its hideous mouth wide open, charging at the crowd. Although Xiao He was injured, he was on a mission, under a death order from the Liu Family’s Ancestor to retrieve the Spiritual Medicine. Of course, he was prepared. Considering he had reached the Dark-grade, vastly superior to ordinary people, he couldn’t possibly lack intelligence. The black skull was right in front of him. Despite his injuries, he quickly reacted, rolling on the ground and pulling a yellow Elixir from his pocket, swallowing it in one gulp. Immediately, Xiao He’s injuries began to heal rapidly, his complexion recovering its color, and the wounds on his hand closing. His aura grew increasingly fierce. “Interesting, the Liu Family’s Healing Burst Pill, quite a lavish move this time.” “But no matter the Liu Family, whatever the Black Army covets, death is the only outcome.” “That Spiritual Medicine, it’s mine.” Just as Xiao He swallowed the Elixir and started to recover, the Black Robed Man in the air coldly laughed at Xiao He, speaking cruelly. The black skull quickly shot out like an arrow from a full bow, aiming to bite the spot where Xiao He had been kneeling, but he rolled away, punching the air with his left hand. The yellow Punch Light struck the top of the black skull. The Punch Light was like a stone tossed into the ocean, causing no ripples, while the black skull missed its bite, curving instantly and grinding past the ground, leaving a deep black mark on the sturdy floorboards. “Everyone quickly leave, don’t come near.” “Go, go, go!!!” Lu Feng came to his senses, madly tapping his cane, producing a series of thudding sounds. At this moment, everyone woke up, desperately ran inside, but as soon as they lifted their feet, they found them as if glued to the deck with super glue, unable to move. “What’s wrong, move!” “I have a great life, plenty of money; I don’t want to die!” “Stop messing with me, let’s go.” The wealthy men slapped their thighs hard, but couldn’t budge. “This is… Hard Bone Powder!!!” “We’re finished, it’s unbreakable.” Lu Feng himself couldn’t move, grasping his wrist in terror, he exclaimed. The world knew of a drug called Soft Bone Powder but not of Hard Bone Powder. The Hard Bone Powder was several times stronger; once hit, all the thigh bones would harden, making it impossible to move, leaving one at the mercy of others. “Heh, trying to run, ridiculous.” “Everyone, stand still.” The Black Robed Man took out a piece of talisman paper, the black skull turned into a large mass of black mist and flowed back into the paper, coldly staring at Xiao He and others. “Who… who are you.” “The Liu Family’s Ancestor will be here soon, you better not go too far.” Xiao He, seeing the black skull withdrawn, sighed in relief and shakily spoke to the Black Robed Man. “Who am I??? “Why not ask him and find out.” “Right, Liu Family’s Ancestor, Liu Ge!!!” The Black Robed Man squinted, looking deep into the ship, an eerie glow flickering in his eyes as he coldly laughed. “Clap, clap, clap!!!” “As expected of the Black Army’s second-in-command, impressive, impressive.” “Even though I hid so well, you still found me.” “Why has the second-in-command Gong come himself?” Sure enough, following the Black Robed Man’s gaze, an elderly man with white hair, looking strong and powerful despite being past his prime, walked out slowly. “Heh, heh, the reason for my presence.” “Isn’t it the same as your goal, Liu Ge?” “Do you want to monopolize the treasure without considering if our Black Army agrees?” “The Liu Family is nothing but a slightly bigger ant compared to our Black Army.” The Black Robed Man snorted coldly at the Liu Family’s Ancestor. “Oh, really!!!” “Does this still make you think the Liu Family is just a bigger ant?” Liu Ge pulled a gauntlet from behind him, golden and glimmering with yellow light, his invisible aura radiating. The Black Robed Man’s face changed instantly. “This… this is that thing!!!” “Why is it with you!!!” “Oh, oh, now I see why you want that flower so badly. So, you were that person back then!” “This time, we settle both old and new scores together.”
