<h4>Chapter 1828: Chapter 1821: Crisis Reemerges</h4>


    "If he can’t block Ashida Ikeda, do you think I can?"


    At this moment, a voice full of mockery came, but it came from all directions, making it hard to discern where it wasing from.


    "You finally showed up. I thought you would hide like a dog for life! Want to kill the young master, have you asked me?"


    Before the voice fell, a figure appeared like a ghost at the top of the Tianbao ship, then walked in the air, the figure fast like lightning, pounced on Ashida Ikeda, the long spear in hand as fast as lightning, turned into a bit of cold light, pointing directly at Ashida Ikeda’s throat.


    This shot was like a wildfire, unstoppable.


    "Flying Star."


    Ashida Ikeda’s expression became extremely solemn, without any hesitation; the wooden sword in his hand was suddenly unsheathed, the sword intent swept the skies, coiling around the wooden sword, like a cold star shing in the night sky, swift as lightning, stabbing into mid-air.


    "ng!"


    Cold light and cold star collided at the same time, Ashida Ikeda’s figure retreated slightly by two steps, while this figure retreated four or five steps before stopping.


    The neer’s attire was simr to the Crying Face Envoy, wearing an iron mask on his face, holding a twelve-foot iron spear in his hand, shimmering with bits of cold light under the illumination of the lights.


    Who could this be but Cangwu?


    "Cangwu."


    Ashida Ikeda nced at Cangwu, sneered and asked, "If Jiang Liufeng hadn’t been crippled, there might be a chance to block me, but with just you, Cangwu, do you think you can block me?"


    Cangwu nodded slightly toward Lu Tianxing and Sima Lingyun, then focused his gaze on Ashida Ikeda, speaking calmly: "Ashida Ikeda, back then, you made my master suppress his strength to fight you, even dropping a level below, yet you were still beaten by my master without any ability to fight back, fleeing to Japan in disgrace. Who gives you the courage to say such words now?"


    Hearing Cangwu’s words, Ashida Ikeda’s face suddenly became ugly to the extreme, this was simply the shame of his life.


    Back then, like Jiang Liufeng, he was young and arrogant, stepping into middle-stage Mythical at a young age, full of ambition, believing he could find no opponents in Japan, so he packed his bags and went to China, nning to make a name for himself, to trample Huaxia Martial Arts underfoot, proving himself invincible at his level.


    When he came to China, things were indeed smooth sailing until he met Jiang Liufeng. At that time, Jiang Liufeng had just stepped intote-stage Mythical, his name rising rapidly in Beijing. He challenged Jiang Liufeng, hoping he would suppress his strength to fight him. The oue was evident; Jiang Liufeng suppressed his power to middle-stage Mythical and simply crushed him.


    If that were the case, Ashida Ikeda wouldn’t consider it disgraceful, after all, Jiang Liufeng was ate-stage Mythical expert; suppressing power to middle-stage Mythical and losing wasn’t embarrassing. The key was, after he lost, Jiang Liufeng found him for another match, this time suppressing power to early-stage Mythical, and he was still crushed, begging for mercy within ten moves.


    This was truly shameful, an expert atte-stage Mythical forcibly suppressing power to early-stage Mythical—even with richbat experience from Jiang Liufeng—it was to no avail. The disparity between early-stage and middle-stage Mythical was like heaven and earth, akin to holding a submachine gun while your opponent only holds a wooden stick, yet being defeated by someone with just a wooden stick while they were dozens of meters away. This was undoubtedly a lifelong disgrace.


    Cangwu’s words ignited an uncontroble killing intent in Ashida Ikeda’s heart: "Good, good. Today, I want to see what skills Jiang Liufeng’s disciple has, after killing you, I’ll deal with Lu Tianxing."


    Ashida Ikeda knew clearly that if he didn’t kill Cangwu, he wouldn’t be able to kill Cangwu. Although Cangwu was inferior in the previous confrontation, Ashida Ikeda realized that once Cangwu fought desperately, even if killing Cangwu would be akin to killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred, once severely injured, he would surely die and wouldn’t leave China alive.


    "Kill me, then go ahead and try, let’s see who lives or dies," Cangwu fearlessly said.


    In an instant, both Cangwu and Ashida Ikeda emanated intense killing intent, poised for a battle of life and death.


    "Kill!"


    Suddenly, with a roar, Cangwu and Ashida Ikeda charged towards each other.


    Their speed was incredibly fast, like lightning, resulting in booming sounds echoing through the air.


    As Cangwu restrained Ashida Ikeda, the gaze of Lu Tianxing and Sima Lingyun naturally fell upon the Crying Face Envoy and Smiling Face Envoy, thick killing intent filling the air, making the atmosphere seem to drop to freezing point.


    "Crying Face Envoy, how would you like to die?"


    Lu Tianxing’s voice reached an extreme iciness.


    "Hahaha, how would I like to die? Judge, I know your strength is formidable, but do you think I’m unprepared?" Crying Face Envoy said with a cold smile.


    "What do you mean by that?"


    When Lu Tianxing heard Crying Face Envoy’s words, an uneasy feeling surged within his heart.


    Then, Jiang Tianbao’s urgent voice came: "Mr. Lu, Group Leader Sima, this is bad. I just received news; a group of people appeared inside the Tianbao ship, heading towards the hall; my men can’t hold them off for long."


    Lu Tianxing and Sima Lingyun’s expressions changed drastically upon hearing these words.


    Meanwhile, Crying Face Envoy burst intoughter: "Judge, Sima Lingyun, do you still think you have us cornered now? We may not be able to kill you, but we can kill everyone inside the hall. Imagine if they all died here, what then!"


    Upon hearing Crying Face Envoy’s words, Lu Tianxing’s expression changed slightly; someone was currently approaching the hall, and Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru were all inside. If anyone broke into the hall and conflict ensued, the consequences would be disastrous.


    Yet at this moment, he couldn’t act; he knew Crying Face Envoy and Smiling Face Envoy would surely stop him, more importantly, from their previous confrontation he realized Crying Face Envoy was slightly stronger than back in Beijing, any bit of dy could lead to dire consequences.


    Sima Lingyun realized the seriousness of the situation as well, his face was solemn beyond words.


    Jiang Tianbao’s face was equally grim; knowing he was the host of this banquet, if all these people died here, he would be held ountable, suffering terribly.


    Most importantly, if Lu Tianxing suspected him of being involved with these people, deliberately bringing the ship here, not only would he perish, but the Jiang Family might be wiped out from this world.
