Chapter 478 Out of Seclusion

In Qing Guoli, it’s almost impossible to encounter demonic or transcendent-level strange creatures. But strange creatures of other levels can be encountered anywhere.

So, wanting to kill strange creatures to increase cultivation is a gamble, a matter of risking one's life. Who knows, you might be killed by some high-level strange creature passing by in the wilderness.

The chance to slaughter a large number of strange creatures of the same level like this is rare.

Therefore, Lin Ling was enjoying it, feeling exhilarated, as if the emotions suppressed in his heart for a long time had been completely released.

This feeling continued until he saw Fang Yue, and then it suddenly paused.

"Little, Little Ye, you're out of seclusion?! Wait, don't attack yet! Leave this to us!"

Lin Ling panicked.

Don't be fooled by how enthusiastically they were fighting, seemingly evenly matched with the strange creatures.

Everyone present knew that it was because Fang Yue wasn't there.

As long as Fang Yue entered the field, he could clear the area in a matter of seconds...no! He could do it in a second.

"What?! Brother Ye is out of seclusion?"

"Holy crap! It really is Brother Ye! Great, we're safe!"

Qing Chen and Jing Yan were the happiest. Their combat strength was truly lacking, and they were barely surviving in the dense swarm of big-headed fly creatures.

"Brother Ye! You're finally out of seclusion. Helmsman Lao said that we'll reach the Jing City dock in a few hours. I was worried that if you didn't come out soon, we'd have to disturb you."

Almost at Jing City dock?

My seclusion led me directly to the Jing City dock?

Fang Yue was still a bit happy in his heart.

There was nothing on this broken ship, and it was full of dangers every day, constantly facing threats from the Han River. Fang Yue really couldn't wait to reach Jing City sooner.

As for the group of big-headed fly creatures in front of him, Fang Yue didn't take them seriously at all.

Not to mention himself, even Tian Ruichi already had the ability to deal with these strange creatures, it was just a matter of time.

There were three or four hundred of these Fly Phantoms, buzzing as they surrounded the Han River giant ship, hovering above them, searching for an opportunity to attack.

Once they had the chance, they would immediately dive down and attack.

However, even so, under the obstruction of Tian Ruichi, who possessed the strength of a high-level Innate Realm cultivator, they had been attacking for a long time without gaining any advantage. Instead, their losses continued to rise, and their numbers continued to decrease.

After Fang Yue arrived, Tian Ruichi had no worries and completely unleashed his battle strength.

With his full strength, Tian Ruichi displayed the formidable power that a half-sword spirit expert should possess, far surpassing the strength of ordinary Innate Realm cultivators.

He almost transformed into a black blur, quickly shuttling between the various fly creatures.

In the eyes of Qing Chen and others, the only moment when Tian Ruichi became visible was when he pierced through the back of a Phantom Fly, pausing slightly to leave behind an afterimage. At other times, they couldn't see his figure at all. His speed was so fast, like a ghost, and his swordsmanship was so ethereal that it was unfamiliar.

Jing Yan's eyes widened, and his mouth hung open.

He knew that Tian Ruichi was quite strong, after all, he was a special envoy and a genius from Jing City.

But Tian Ruichi usually appeared too ordinary, and Fang Yue's performance was too dazzling, almost overshadowing everything.

So, Jing Yan had completely forgotten that Tian Ruichi was also a genius, a swordplay genius, and a peerless talent who had emerged from a place like Jing City!

His foundation in swordplay and his swordsmanship were probably even better than Fang Yue's!

If this kind of genius hadn't constantly encountered strange creatures and crises that surpassed his level, he would have already shown extraordinary performance. How could he have been stifled until now?

Of course, it's not too late now. These past few days, the Han River giant ship had been able to transition safely to the present, basically relying entirely on Tian Ruichi's extraordinary performance to maintain the ship's peace. Otherwise, someone would have had to call Fang Yue out of seclusion to protect them long ago.

Buzz!!

As Tian Ruichi's final sword cry resounded through the sky and spread across the deck, Tian Ruichi slowly sheathed his [Maple Needle Sword].

At this moment, the swarm of fly creatures in the sky suddenly erupted in a large spray of blood, falling from the sky one after another, landing on the deck with thuds, suffering countless casualties.

The other fly creatures, seeing this scene, fled and disappeared, and the surroundings immediately returned to tranquility.

Huff—

Letting out a long breath, Tian Ruichi smiled at Fang Yue and said, "Brother Ye, I've made a fool of myself."

Fang Yue, who had raised his hand to applaud, silently lowered it.

This guy is really something, he hasn't even been praised yet, and he's already being modest. How is one supposed to respond to that?

He silently walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Not bad, your swordsmanship is superb. We'll have to spar sometime."

The smile on Tian Ruichi's face froze.

Spar?

Spar with Fang Yue?

Isn't that just asking for humiliation?

If he hadn't met Fang Yue and didn't know his strength, Tian Ruichi, with his former arrogance, would naturally want to learn from him.

But now, he had completely lost his temper with Fang Yue.

He should be burning incense that this kind of fierce person hadn't become his enemy. Why would he want to spar with him and look for trouble?

Fang Yue ignored Tian Ruichi's stiff expression and walked towards Lin Ling, who had returned to normal, was covering his right eye, and panting for breath.

"Lin Ling, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, my right eye just hurts a bit."

Lin Ling forced a smile, but judging from the overflowing cold sweat, he was putting on a brave face.

Fang Yue beckoned Qing Chen over and asked him to take Lin Ling down to the cabin to rest.

Then, he asked Jing Yan about what had happened on the ship while he was in seclusion and quickly understood the situation.

In short, after he went into seclusion, Jing Yan, Helmsman Lao, and the others became much more cautious and careful. Even if they were slower, they would never provoke those strange creatures in the lake.

If there were any abnormalities ahead, they would change direction and detour at the first opportunity.

They would rather spend more time and arrive at their destination more slowly than provoke a big trouble they couldn't handle while Fang Yue was in seclusion.

And Helmsman Lao, a frequent visitor to the Han River, still had some understanding of the river.

Since Fang Yue wasn't around, he naturally chose a more conservative route.

But even so, it was still unavoidable to encounter some strange creatures.

Fortunately, the most dangerous area had already passed, so they only encountered low-level strange creatures. Although the people on the ship were in grave danger, they still managed to get through it safely.

After several crises, they had reached their current location, only a few hours away from the Jing City dock.

"If I'm not mistaken, we may encounter one or two more strange creatures along the way. This route was originally relatively safe at the beginning and slightly more dangerous later. But with you here, it should be fine. Only when we reach a certain distance from the Jing City dock will we be truly safe."

A few hours away wasn't considered safe yet.

"If that's the case, then leave the rest to me!"

Fang Yue smiled calmly.

Although he hadn't told anyone about the success of this seclusion.

But after seeing Fang Yue's confident performance, the others had some guesses.

And they weren't wrong, Fang Yue had indeed succeeded in his cultivation!

Empty Ice Swordplay, comprehended!
