Chapter 420: Boss Fang Whose Live Stream Overturned

The surging sea is the most perilous of places; beneath its deep and dark waters lurks an infinity of nameless dangers.

Traversing the far ocean and heading straight south, it is said that in those distant reaches lies a grander stage, a vast and wider world.

Rumors speak of unparalleled figures who once walked this expansive realm like earthly immortals, and likewise of martial emperors whose legendary feats could eclipse the sun with a single hand.

One peerless figure after another adorned the eternal sky like brilliant pearls, their radiant splendor enough to eclipse the very stars.

Here, spiritual essence is abundant and resources are rich; even ordinary mortals devoid of talent can learn a stance or two of martial arts and inner qi to strengthen their bodies, while common beasts possess extraordinary strength, the best among them evolving into demonic beasts with bones of iron and tendons of steel, wielding ferocious power.

To say nothing of the true demonic beasts, anomalous creatures, and spirits of the mountains.

Upon the coastal cliffs, several fully armored martial artists kept watch over the distance, faintly on guard against the unknown perils of the sea.

In the coastal town, brawny men with bare arms carried the carcass of a demonic wolf larger than a man which they had just hunted, and the streets were crowded with pedestrians carrying weapons on their backs.

The azure sky was washed clean and completely blue, and the sea level was strangely calm.

Right at that moment, upon the boundless horizon, a fierce gale erupted as the sky gradually darkened, and a sudden thunderclap rent the sky.

Immediately after, a brilliant flash of light shot across the darkened heavens, followed by a ribbon of sword light that darted into the distance.

"Look over there..."

"What is that?!"

Many martial artists began pointing at the faint, fleeting light in the sky, but the streak of light moved with such extreme speed that it vanished in a flash, and by the time anyone truly looked far into the distance, only a tiny speck of light remained at the edge of the sky.

At the same time, a pair of turbid eyes within the crowd stared at the long sky where the light had departed, revealing a glimmer completely different from the others.

"How many years has it been..."

"Someone has emerged from the Wasteland Sea..."

...

"Hiss—!" Flying high above the clouds and gazing at the birds in the sky, Fang Qi took a deep breath, "The air here actually carries the fragrance of spiritual essence, ah—!"

This sensation was akin to someone who had long lived in a city of murky air suddenly arriving at an isolated, spiritual mountain range—fresh rain on an empty mountain, birds singing and flowers blooming—where even a single breath of air felt refreshing.

Meanwhile, Owner Fang had already turned on his livestream.

"Hi! Everyone, this owner has arrived at the destination of this trip, Lingzhou!"

At this time, Liu Ningyun, Mo Tianxing, and the others at the Half City shop, along with Su Tianji, Song Qingfeng, and the rest at the Jiuhua City shop, had not long parted with Owner Fang and were still nestled on the sofas eating instant noodles.

"Pfft—!" Someone nearly spat out a mouthful of instant noodles.

What ghost?

He just said goodbye to us a moment ago, and he is already there?!

Su Tianji could no longer tolerate it and sent a bullet comment directly to dispute him: "Trash owner, who are you trying to fool!"

Lan Yan: "Where is Xiaoyue?"

Mo Tianxing: "Guild Leader, stop joking, we aren't stupid."

Ning Bi stared with her beautiful eyes, holding her milk tea: "This is Lingzhou already?"

Owner Fang: "Nonsense, this shop's high technology, is there a problem with it being fast?"

"Don't believe it!"

"This looks no different from our place!"

Soon a crowd of people gathered around, but not a single one believed it.

"Holy crap..." Owner Fang's face was covered in dark lines, "This is definitely Lingzhou, okay? If not, I'll take my head off and give it to you. Do I look like the type of person to talk nonsense?"

Ruan Ning: "Then tell us what place this is, Owner? And weren't you going to that Haotian Academy with Xiaoyue? Where is Haotian Academy?"

Fang Qi was suddenly taken aback: "True... where am I?"

The system's teleportation was convenient, but...

He had absolutely no idea where he had been dropped.

Owner Fang did not have a map in hand, and even if he did, it would be hard to reference without a conspicuous landmark.

Instantly, the boos on the bullet comments grew more frequent: "We knew you were just bluffing us."

"If you have the capability, let us see the Haotian Academy and Xiaoyue's hometown."

Owner Fang felt a wave of awkwardness and scratched his head: "Then let this owner ask for directions first."

Looking left and right, there was not a single person around?

Su Tianji and the others were still eating breakfast while watching the big screen.

Just then, Owner Fang saw what appeared to be a spiritual boat sailing past in the far distance.

"Hey~! Look what I found!"

A lone spiritual boat!

Everyone: "..."

A scene instantly materialized in their minds.

"Going to bully others for never having seen sword-riding techniques again."

"Tsk, you really have the nerve..." After sending a bullet comment, they did not even bother to look further and kept their heads down to eat noodles.

"...This owner is just asking for directions, how is that shameful?!" Owner Fang looked contemptuous and flew over on his flying sword with practiced ease; he had truly done this sort of thing quite often.

After all, Owner Fang did this every time—asking for directions and then leaving on his sword, hiding his name and accomplishments deep away.

A streak of sword light rapidly pierced through the heavens, flying toward that blue spiritual boat at an extremely fast speed; from afar, one could see the spiritual boat was adorned with cloud patterns and flying birds, its craftsmanship exquisite and magnificent to the absolute limit.

The beautiful, streamlined hull was shaped more like an azure giant sword; outside the hull, strange and profound light patterns flowed within the pale blue spiritual light, looking vastly superior to any they had seen before.

"Eh? The appearance of this spiritual boat is so strange...!?"

"And this spiritual light is also wrong, why does it look like the dharma array is growing directly on the spiritual light?"

"Is there this kind of spiritual boat over at Half City?" Su Tianji asked curiously.

Ruan Ning: "Half City states we have never seen this kind of spiritual boat. It seems their artifact-making technique is much better than ours, and this spiritual boat is way too fast!"

"Hahaha! Look at Owner Fang."

Owner Fang was seen flying behind for a long time before slowly narrowing the distance.

"Lmao, by the time he catches up, I will have finished this bowl of instant noodles!"

Fang Qi was also stunned: "Are the spiritual boats here this fast?"

This was simply failing to show off and getting flexed on instead, and it was during a livestream too!

How could he tolerate this?!

Owner Fang pinched a sword incantation, and his flying speed rose once more!

The speed of the sword-riding technique was heavily tied to one's own cultivation; as his cultivation reached the level of a Martial King, Fang Qi's sword-riding technique grew increasingly swift.

The distance between the two parties narrowed rapidly.

Owner Fang held the sword incantation with one hand and said calmly, "Chasing this kind of spiritual boat is a piece of cake."

Everyone: "..."

"Let this boss ask for directions before..."

Before the words could fully leave his mouth, Fang Qi suddenly felt an immensely perilous aura closing in!

Almost purely on instinct, his entire body seemed to teleport, vanishing and reappearing more than a hundred feet away in the blink of an eye!

At the exact same moment, the entire dharma boat ahead suddenly snapped in two right from the middle.

A deafening roar thundered through the midair.

It exploded.

Everyone watching the live stream stared intently at their screens: "What's going on?!"

Boss Fang was a bit dazed: "I went through all that trouble just to catch up, and this is what you show me?!"
