The three of them stood up in shock and took a closer look. They were all astonished.

What shined down under the bright moon was a boat with a narrow nose and tail. A bamboo pole was erected and a beautiful octagonal palace lantern was hung on it. But other than that, there was no ghost on the boat.

The most bizarre and inexplicable thing was that the boat sailed freely on the curved river as if it was being supported by someone on the bottom of the water. It turned the most dangerous sharp bend and drove straight towards them in an extremely strange way.

Kou Zhong exhaled a breath of cold air and said: This future that is praised as ineffective and ugly is definitely not in our hands.

Xu Ziling stared at the empty boat that was only about 300 feet away from them and said in a deep voice: There must be someone operating the boat under the water, so try to avoid it.

Ba Fenghan held the oar in his hand and sneered: Whoever he is, Ba Fenghan doesn't believe in evil. Let's see what tricks he can come up with.

At this time, Kou Zhong maneuvered his boat to avoid the left bank. Little did he know that the airboat immediately changed its angle as if it had eyes and still rushed towards it. Kou Zhong glanced towards the shore and said: There must be an ambush on the shore. If we are separated, they will be in Luoyang.

goodbye.

The strange boat has sailed within sixty feet and is approaching quickly.

Ba Fenghan shouted and threw the oar in his hand with all his strength.

The two of them were concentrating on the oar, watching as the oar shot through a space of nearly twenty feet like a bolt of lightning, then touched the river surface from below and then went under the water, like a big white water dragon, towards the boat to greet the powerful force.

People are amazed.

Xu Ziling lifted up another oar and moved it to the stern of the boat and pushed it into the water.

The speedboat immediately speeds up and as soon as the opponent ducks aside, they wait for the opportunity to rush over.

Ba Fenghan's wooden oar was quickly approaching the airboat coming down the river as the three people and six eyes stared at it. The distance continued to decrease inch by inch.

The airship still showed no intention of avoiding it.

boom!

The wooden oar and the bow of the boat simultaneously turned into debris that exploded into the sky, which shows how fierce Ba Fenghan was.

The river water poured into the boat.

The three of them felt something was wrong at the same time.

It was so easy.

At this moment, a strange feeling occurred in the soles of the three people's feet at the same time.

Kou Zhong shouted: The enemy is under the boat!

Ba Fenghan laughed and concentrated all his strength on the soles of his feet, and the speedboat quickly moved sideways for a few feet.

Peng!

A water column shot up to a height of more than 20 feet at the same location and then sprinkled down in all directions.

Xu Ziling had clearly grasped the enemy's position, and the oar came out of his hands and spiraled into the water.

Kou Zhong pressed his hands on the water at the stern of the boat, causing the river water to splash. The force of the collision made the boat fly against the current like a wild horse. In an instant, he passed over the sinking airboat and smashed the palace lantern that was still standing on the water.

The sight of fire particles flying everywhere is extremely strange.

The three people's eyes were all focused on the river where the enemy was hiding, but they did not hear the sound of any oar hitting the enemy, and the distance quickly increased.

The strange feeling in the soles of my feet returned.

Kou Zhong yelled wildly, jumped out from the back of the boat, and struck the water with his knife, even his arm did not enter the river.

In the middle of the well, the moon shot diagonally from the bottom of the water to the bottom of the boat, making a dull sound of vigorous energy clashing.

This knife was perfectly timed and struck right at the head of the oar.

Peng!

Kou Zhong Youruo was electrocuted and his whole body was thrown back by the force of the shock. He hurriedly took the opportunity to do two somersaults and returned to the boat. After settling down, he still took two steps back and took a deep breath to suppress the surging energy and blood. He changed his mind and said: Where is it?

Holy? The paddle turned a few times in the water before sinking.

Ba Fenghan pulled out the Xuanxuan Sword and responded to the enemy with a calm smile and said: We'll know soon!

Before he could finish his words, a black shadow shot up diagonally from the river ten feet away with water droplets all over the sky. It flew across the water like a meteor and landed on the boat. The speed seemed to have exceeded the physical limit.

Although the three of them knew that the enemy would catch up, they were not mentally prepared for it to be so fast and shocking.

They haven't had the chance to clearly see each other's appearance, but the overwhelming strength is overwhelming them.

Thousands of tiny strands of energy were like sharp knives flying towards the three of them in the strong wind, slashing, stabbing, and slashing, causing the mercury to drip to the ground. It was hard to guard against them.

This is the first time that the three of them met with such inner strength.

Ba Fenghan and Kou Zhong shouted in unison, using their swords to weave shadows in the sky, like opening umbrellas to welcome them upwards.

Xu Ziling crouched, sat on his horse, and punched the man with a spiral of energy. He rushed out of the only gap in the core of the sword's virtual mesh, hoping to hit the man.

The man in the sky had his back to the bright moon. The golden light shot down by the bright moon appeared behind him, but the front was not in the darkness. It was so strange that it was indescribable.

Peng!

Ba Fenghan and Kou Zhong staggered and the protective shield dissipated.

When they faced each other's strange and unparalleled strong wind, although the two of them knocked back each other's energy, the broken energy penetrated through the sword like a needle hidden in the cotton, causing them to rush to use their energy to melt it away.

Such extraordinary power has never been seen before.

The man was about to strike a second time when Xu Ziling's spiral energy arrived just in time.

How could the counterattack force of Ba Fenghan and Kou Zhong's joint attack be the same? No matter how powerful that person was, it was very difficult to cope with it. Seeing that the spinning force was coming again, he had no choice but to dare not neglect and change his attack to defense. He slapped Xu Ziling with a spinning hand.

The sharp edge of strength.

boom!

The cyclone dispersed.

The man groaned and flew to the shore.

Xu Ziling fell down on the deck with a thud and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ba Fenghan and Kou Zhonggang had just neutralized the invading force and quickly struck out with all four palms towards the water at the stern of the boat.

The speedboat's bow tilted up as the water splashed, and it shot through the waves like flying against the current.

The three of them looked at the terrifying and tyrannical enemy in unison.

The man fell on a big rock by the shore, turned around, put his hands behind his hands, looked up to the sky and laughed, "No wonder a hero can make me suffer the pain of losing a son, so I won't send him away!"

The three of them watched with dumbfounded eyes as Qu Ao suddenly disappeared at the bend of the river.

※※※

Kou Zhong, who returned to the helm of the ship, wiped his hands with cold sweat and said, "It turns out it's him. No wonder his martial arts are on par with Bi Xuanli's!"

Xu Ziling wiped the bloodshot eyes from the corner of his mouth and stood up with a smile: "Qu Ao has taken action and Zhu Yuyan is not far away. What suggestions do you two have?"

Ba Fenghan slowly returned to the scabbard of his sword and said proudly: This matter is unavoidable. What else can we do besides the soldiers coming to block the water and flooding it with soil?

But Kou Zhong sat down and shook his head and said: If we only try to be brave, we will definitely die tonight. Since we have many enemies and we are outnumbered, there are at least three or four enemies who can defeat us. This is called knowing yourself and knowing the enemy.

Ba Fenghan was speechless, thinking that he was indeed not as flexible as the two of them.

Xu Ziling stood upright on the boat and stared ahead. The river breeze blew and his clothes rustled. He had a moving demeanor of calmness, magnanimity and aloofness. He said calmly: The reason why Qu Ao was able to intercept us just now must be after getting the news.

Because he was determined to kill his son, he immediately set off and came alone, leaving the others behind.

Ba Feng snorted coldly: It must be that the white demon girl spied on the side when we showed up to seize the boat and immediately informed Qu Ao and others by means of a flying pigeon passing a message.

Kou Zhong said: So as long as we abandon the boat and land now, the enemy will temporarily lose our whereabouts, and we can turn from light to covert and take the initiative back.

The three of them exchanged understanding glances and raised their feet at the same time.

The boat immediately fell apart and sank.

The three of them jumped up and threw themselves into the darkness of the dense forest on the right bank, disappearing in an instant.

The river became calm again and the water sparkled under the moonlight.

Soon after, a large boat sailed along the river, broke the water, slid past the place where the boat sank, and headed downstream.

※※※

After passing through the fifty-mile vast sparse forest area on the shore, an endless series of hills appeared in front of us, blocking the way.

The three of them were afraid that the high mountains would make it easier for them to hide and rush forward.

Kou Zhong chased beside Xu Ziling and asked with concern: Can Qu Ao bear that palm? Do you want to take a rest and have a good fucking sleep?

Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "That palm is nothing. It's just that the internal organs and blood vessels were injured, the blood spurted out, the blockage was removed, and the wound was healed by the exercise. It's nothing more than recovery."

Ba Fenghan, who was running at full speed in front, said with emotion: "The brotherhood between you is truly unparalleled. In my opinion, only Brother Xu can make Kou Zhong rush the fire to Luoyang and put it aside for the time being, right?"

Kou Zhong shook his head and said: Wrong! I, Kou Zhong, am the most loyal person. If I had hurt you, Lao Ba, I would do the same because we are now comrades sharing life and death.

Ba Feng was still silent for a while, and then suddenly suggested: It would be better if we each call each other by his name, like brothers before and after, who are so indifferent to each other.

Xu Ziling said happily: "Then you call me Ziling and we will call you Fenghan, which will be more cordial!" Kou Zhong frowned and said: "My name only has one character, Laoba, you can't call me Zuozhong so awkwardly"

It sounds awful!

Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling smiled at this and the former couldn't help but laugh and said: "Then I'll call you Mr. Zhong and you will call me Lao Ba. How many years older will I be than you?"
