"I told you to buy a boat earlier; this wouldn't have been such a ss now!"
"You think I didn't want to buy one? In Japan, you think just having money is enough to buy a boat? What about identification? Proof of identity? There are so many docunts to deal with. Our identities are under such strain, the situation is critical; if I could buy one, I would've done it already!"
"Enough, guys, stop arguing."
Kyoto, near the port.
We've already received Li Kuo's ssage that Xiaofan has successfully destroyed the HLY007 files.
With this good news, everyone cheered together.
But the next problem is how to find a boat to get Xiaofan back.
If a fight really breaks out over there, Xiaofan might have no way out.
We sent several ssages over, but Xiaofan hasn't replied yet. Li San and the others are restless, like ants in a hot pan.
After stopping the quarrel between Lin Hongbin and He Qiang, Li San walked to the balcony and stared at the dark sky, lost in thought.
Then, he quickly stepped outside, ready to go downstairs.
"Third Brother, where are you going? Li Sai asked.
"Since I can't buy a boat, I'll see if I can steal one. You wait here for my ssage, and if I get one, I'll contact you imdiately."
"Yeah, alright."
A way forward is better than none.
Li San is a descendant of the Swallow Sect, and as a Divine Thief, it's just returning to his old trade.
anwhile, Penghai received another call from within the Yanhuang Soul.
Due to the extended delay and not reporting the local situation to Yanhuang Soul, Penghai is under trendous pressure to keep Xiaofan's secret.
However, Xiaofan promised him that once the night is over, he can truthfully report the situation.
Even now, Penghai is still finding excuses to stall...
After leaving, Li San rushed to the port.
Japan is surrounded by sea, so boats are everywhere.
However, regular fishing boats can't withstand storms and are slow, so Li San set his sights on those luxury yachts.
As a Divine Thief, Li San's lock-picking skills are exceptional.
But after finally boarding a chosen yacht, he found himself puzzled—how does this yacht even start?
"Hey, can anyone hear ? Hey, does anyone know how to operate a yacht..."
"Li San, where are you?"
"Tang, how do you start this yacht?"
The voice of Tang Tianyou ca through the intercom, and Li San asked calmly.
"Don't bother starting it; the entire port is locked down tonight, and the coast guard has been deployed," Tang Tianyou said casually while observing the large deploynt of coast guards at another dock.
"Hmm? What's going on over there?" Li San asked, puzzled.
"I really don't know; I just ca over to rent a boat to go out, but the locals told that just half an hour ago, no boats are allowed to leave the port. It's completely locked down."
"Tang, do you think this has anything to do with the island Xiaofan is on?" Li San anxiously asked.
"Most likely. Although they say it's because of a severe storm tonight, I can't be certain. But seeing this many coast guards, if we appear at sea, we'll definitely be spotted."
"I don't care; if it's really because of that island, Xiaofan might be waiting for us to reach him. Hurry and co over; we can steal a boat and take a trip," Li San insisted.
"But..."
"Are you coming or not—one word..." Li San knew the difficulties in Tang Tianyou's consideration, but he himself felt compelled to go. If only he knew how to operate it.
"Fine, where are you?"
Li San stayed in Japan specifically to support Xiaofan at the critical mont. If even he feared for his life and couldn't help when it mattered most, then behind Xiaofan, who else is left to rely on...
Behind Lin Hongbin and Penghai's backs, Li San and Tang Tianyou quietly stole the yacht. After starting the ignition, they quickly headed towards Demon Island.
But with such a long distance, it will take at least five hours to reach. Going now amidst so many coast guard blockades, can Li San really make it in ti to pick Xiaofan up?
anwhile, on Demon Island,
Xiaofan is facing his last two opponents.
To be honest, Xiaofan's Inner Strength has long been depleted, and if he engages in another all-out fight, it might be challenging to last even ten minutes.
If he uses guerrilla tactics to play cat and mouse with Muto, exhaustion will surely lead to failure.
Leng Yue, on the other hand, is already injured. After the earlier skirmish, she's utterly exhausted. The effort to deal with Muto and his apprentice left Leng Yue with little she can do, so she's standing aside.
The atmosphere is growing heavier.
Xiaofan and the two opponents are staring each other down, as the sea breeze seems to have slowly cald down.
But the sudden lull in the wind is eerie; could it be the calm before a storm?
'Whiz.'
'Whiz.'
Xiaofan and Muto moved almost simultaneously.
The two collided head-on, without any tricks.
To prevent giving Xiaofan any chance to catch his breath, Muto had to act early.
Both stomped on the ground, and the fallen leaves lifted with their shadows, creating a rustling sound.
'Bang.'
In direct confrontation, Xiaofan naturally fell into a disadvantage.
Muto's apprentice quickly joined in, lunging towards Xiaofan.
Continuing in the Self Domain, facing such a simple attack, Xiaofan calmly sidestepped, then struck back with a ti-difference maneuver.
As Muto's apprentice was repelled, Muto pressed forward once more, using his overwhelming Inner Strength to barrage Xiaofan repeatedly.
Disrupted qi and blood, Inner Strength depleted. Xiaofan gritted his teeth, enduring each attack while retaliating, searching for a chance to strike back.
Leng Yue watched the battle unfold, shocked.
She had never seen anyone possess such imnse power before.
Their attacks are simple, yet each strike is enough to kill the opponent outright at such a crucial mont. Anyone distracted for even a second would undoubtedly die instantly.
In just one month, within this short month,
The once-chased-down Ye Xiaofan now holds his ground, facing Muto and his apprentice's joint assault. Such progress is shocking to Muto and others.
The promising situation evaporating within just two hours. Muto's reputation is likely to end at the hands of this young man nad Ye Xiaofan.
