Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Above All Others
Gao Sheng’s experience in the martial world was naturally incomparable to Zhang Yuan’s.
He knew well the evil of human nature and understood that although the Furious Whale Gang was the overlord of Celestial Horse River, potential enemies had never disappeared.
Moreover, there were still rivals like the Four Great Families and the Fierce Tiger Gang in Linhe City.
As the saying goes, caution leads to longevity.
To prevent unexpected situations, the Vice Hall Master of the Battle Hall spared no effort to use two precious Qi Blood Pills.
Indeed, facts proved that his concerns were justified.
When this Vice Hall Master and Zhang Yuan stood shoulder to shoulder with an air of calmness.
The peeping eyes imdiately beca much fewer!
Compared to the aura Gao Sheng forcefully projected, Zhang Yuan’s recovery was truly genuine.
The effect of the Qi Blood Pill was exceptionally strong.
The Divine Nest panel showed that after taking this elixir, his Qi and Blood Value recovered fifty points within just ten breaths.
Five points per breath!
After ten breaths, the recovery rate slowed down.
But still, two to three points per breath.
This was exceedingly formidable.
It’s important to know that Zhang Yuan’s total Qi Blood Value was only two hundred and thirty points.
Considering his way of consuming Qi Blood, carrying Qi Blood Pills on him could truly save his life in critical monts.
It could even turn the tide of battle!
Zhang Yuan silently made a decision because of this.
Once back, he must find a way to get a Qi Blood Pill for ergencies!
Woo~
Just at this mont, a grand horn sound once again ca from upstream of the Celestial Horse River.
This ti it seed much louder, imdiately capturing everyone’s attention, as they all turned their eyes toward the direction of the sound to see which revered figure might have arrived.
So believed it was reinforcents from the Furious Whale Gang, revealing a touch of unease on their faces.
But Gao Sheng knew perfectly well that the incoming ship was not one of the Furious Whale Gang’s!
Because the Furious Whale Gang had their own signaling flags.
Under everyone’s watch, a large Tower Ship ca downstream with a lofty presence!
Nad for its height and width, resembling a building due to its size, the Tower Ship was suitable for both long-range and close combat, hence becoming one of the main types of warships in water battles across rivers and lakes.
And Tower Ships could also serve as luxurious cruise ships.
The newly appeared large Tower Ship differed from ordinary warships, nor looked like typical cruise ships, appearing to accommodate both uses, its appearance very imposing.
Most remarkably, this three-story Tower Ship had neither sails nor long oars.
Instead, it used paddle wheels for propulsion!
Known as paddle-wheel propulsion, it is a type of ship propulsion tool, primarily using rotating wooden wheels to drive blades that push water, propelling the ship forward.
The paddle-wheel system of this Tower Ship was positioned at the stern, with the splashes from the spinning wooden wheels clearly visible.
Yet what truly captured Zhang Yuan’s attention was a flag flapping in the wind at the ship’s bow.
On the bright yellow flag surface, the powerful character "Celestial" was particularly striking!
Moreover, behind the Tower Ship, closely followed more than a dozen assorted ships.
Like stars surrounding the moon!
"Celestial Being."
Gao Sheng said solemnly, with an extrely serious expression: "The Celestial Being has arrived!"
In just a few words, it felt like a thousand pounds of weight!
Despite so speculation, hearing Gao Sheng’s words made Zhang Yuan’s mood grow heavy.
Celestial Being!
Regarding this na, Zhang Yuan was already familiar.
He had heard others ntion it nurous tis, having the most basic impression and understanding of the Celestial Being.
And Zhang Yuan could fully sense the profound fear and dread everyone had towards the Celestial Being!
Mysterious, noble, dangerous, powerful!
Zhang Yuan surmised that the Celestial Being should resemble sothing akin to the Heavenly Dragon in this world.
Now the Celestial Being had arrived.
Crack!
While he was contemplating, an unexpected change occurred on the river.
After the Deceitful Ship vanished, many originally docked rchant and fishing boats on both shores began to lift anchor, resuming their journeys.
Unexpectedly, a grand Tower Ship suddenly descended from upstream.
This Tower Ship hoisting the Celestial Being’s flag appeared as if it didn’t even notice the other ships on the river and took no action to alter course or reduce speed in response to the rchant ships ahead.
With utter dominance, it crashed directly through.
Its speed was quick, several rchant ships hurried to avoid it.
But one rchant ship couldn’t dodge in ti, getting heavily sliced midsection by the Tower Ship.
The tallic ram installed on the Tower Ship bow was like a sharp blade, fiercely cutting this rchant ship into two!
Their tonnages were not in the sa league, and the Tower Ship itself was a warship.
This determined the rchant ship’s tragedy.
Amidst a chorus of screams and shouts, the unscathed Tower Ship continued forward.
Remaining entirely indifferent to the crew of the sinking rchant ship.
All who witnessed this scene felt chilled!
"Hahaha!"
Suddenly, a bout of insane laughter again drew everyone’s attention.
On the highest floor of the Tower Ship’s upper chamber appeared a young man dressed in brocade.
He laughed heartily at the struggling and pleading drowning ones on the river, clapping as he shouted: "Fun, so much fun, hit it again!"
Is this still human?
Everyone who heard these words was slack-jawed, unable to even believe their ears.
Yet even more shocking events unfolded!
This Tower Ship indeed altered its course again, heading to collide with another rchant ship on the right.
Crack!
Another spine-chilling crashing sound reverberated.
This rchant ship initially thought it had escaped a disaster, never expected anyone to be so ruthless, completely unable to dodge.
And it was also split into two!
This ignited an uproar among the nearby rchant and fishing boats.
People wailed and scread, scrambling to steer their ships away, fearing becoming the next victims.
"Brute!"
A figure leapt high from a yet-to-sink rchant ship, flinging a grappling hook towards the nearby Tower Ship.
The claws landed on the high upper chamber.
By exerting force, he soared upwards, embodying a reckless desperation!
Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!
Yet before the martial artist reached the Tower Ship, dozens of crossbow arrows shot from the ship’s hold.
Imdiately turning him into a sieve!
This brave martial artist fell despondently from the air, plunging into the flowing Celestial Horse River.
The river quickly spread with a patch of red.
"Haha!"
The brocade-clad man up high laughed even more arrogantly: "Good shot, kill these fools!"
At this mont, a woman in a white dress appeared from the upper chamber.
She glanced around, then said sothing to the brocade-clad man.
He grumpily spat into the river and returned to the cabin.
And the Tower Ship straightened its course, no longer crashing into other vessels, and along with the dozen ships behind it, sailed off into the distance.
The chaos on the Celestial Horse River gradually subsided.
"This is the Celestial Being."
Gao Sheng said with a cold smile to Zhang Yuan: "Sky beyond sky, person above person!"
Zhang Yuan remained silent.
His intuition told him that the real trouble was likely still ahead!
