Chapter 1081: Chapter 1018: Old Viper Viper!

"Hehe."

Wang Zicheng grinned and slowly turned around.

"What?"

"It’s you!"

The group around the One-Eyed Dragon looked as if they’d seen a ghost, their faces changing immediately.

Wang Zicheng scanned everyone, finally landing his gaze on One-Eyed Dragon, and said with a smile, "Who gave you the guts to try and rob my Saint King Vessel?"

"This..."

"Wasn’t the Saint King Vessel already stolen?"

The One-Eyed Dragon asked in a panic.

Wang Zicheng replied playfully, "It was stolen, but can’t I steal it back?"

"Yes, yes."

The One-Eyed Dragon nodded repeatedly.

Wang Zicheng chuckled and asked, "So, do you still want us to hand over the Saint King Vessel?"

"No, no."

"This is all a misunderstanding."

"Our original intent in taking the Saint King Vessel was actually to help you get it back. We wouldn’t dare to keep it for ourselves."

"Isn’t that right, everyone?"

One-Eyed Dragon said.

"Right, right!"

"Exactly!"

The group behind One-Eyed Dragon nodded eagerly.

Wang Zicheng sneered, "So should I be thanking you?"

"We’re all on the same side, no need for thanks."

"Alright, since the Saint King Vessel has returned to its rightful owner, we won’t disturb you any longer. Goodbye."

One-Eyed Dragon clasped his hands in farewell and then hastily fled on the Viper One.

"Is it resolved just like that?"

Qin Feiyang and the other two were stunned.

"They don’t know what I’m up to now; otherwise, a fight would have been inevitable."

"Stop gawking, let’s hurry before they figure something out; it’ll be trouble then."

Wang Zicheng urged.

Wang Youer nodded and immediately steered the Saint King Vessel southward.

...

"Running into Wang Zicheng, what damn bad luck."

On the Viper One.

One-Eyed Dragon stood at the rail, angrily watching the Saint King Vessel drift away.

The others nodded in agreement.

If it were someone else, they’d dare to make a move, but they knew Wang Zicheng’s methods too well. If they acted recklessly, they’d end up on the losing end without a doubt.

Suddenly.

Pan Five said suspiciously, "Boss, doesn’t it seem like Wang Zicheng was different today?"

"How so?"

One-Eyed Dragon was taken aback, asking suspiciously.

"Usually, if we tried to rob his Saint King Vessel, we wouldn’t get away easily. But today, he let us go just like that? Isn’t it strange?"

Pan Five said.

"Maybe he was in a good mood today. Did you see the woman beside him? He loves beautiful women."

"In front of women, he has to maintain some manners."

One-Eyed Dragon said nonchalantly, then took out an Image Crystal Stone, channeling Battle Intent into it.

Before long.

A young man appeared.

About 1.8 meters tall, with upright features, he could be considered handsome, but his skin emitted a bizarre green shade all over!

Especially those eyes of his, glowing green like a serpent’s, emitting a chilling light.

"Greetings, Viper Master."

The people on the ship bowed, including the One-Eyed Dragon.

"What is it?"

The Viper asked, his cold gaze making everyone tremble with fear.

The One-Eyed Dragon said respectfully, "There’s something I’ve been pondering, and I think it’s necessary to report. Wang Zicheng has entered the Inner Sea and has even reclaimed the Saint King Vessel."

"Hmm?"

The Viper’s brow furrowed slightly. "I heard the one who stole the Saint King Vessel was immensely powerful. How did he get it back?"

"I don’t know."

One-Eyed Dragon shook his head.

The Viper frowned, turned aside, and asked, "Savage Bull, you’ve been with Wang Zicheng recently. Have you heard of this?"

"Savage Bull?"

One-Eyed Dragon and the others were puzzled.

A sturdy young man stepped out from beside the Viper.

"So it’s him!"

"Why is he with the Viper Master?"

One-Eyed Dragon and the others were alarmed.

The young man lowered his head in thought, looked at the Viper, and shook his head, "Haven’t heard of it."

"That’s strange."

"Given Wang Zicheng’s personality, if he did regain the Saint King Vessel, he’d surely brag to us right away. Has he changed?"

The Viper frowned, his eerie green eyes gleaming with unknown intent.

"Changed? Do you think that’s possible?"

The young man laughed scornfully, then turned to One-Eyed Dragon, "Were there any others on the Saint King Vessel?"

"Yes."

"Two men and one woman."

One-Eyed Dragon nodded, waving his hand to form the apparitions of Qin Feiyang and the other two with his Battle Intent.

"It’s him."

The young man glanced at Qin Feiyang’s apparition and furrowed his brow.

The Viper asked, "You recognize him?"

"Yes."

"Met him in the Outer Sea; he was with Wang Zicheng, who seemed to care about him."

The young man said.

"Come on, with Wang Zicheng? He couldn’t care about anyone else. He must have some ulterior motive."

The Viper sneered.

"Exactly what I think."

The young man nodded and then asked One-Eyed Dragon again, "Are you sure what you saw was the Saint King Vessel?"

"I’m sure."

"Did he cause you any trouble?"

The young strong man asked again.

"No."

One-Eyed Dragon shook his head.

"Didn’t find you any trouble?"

"That’s surprising."

The young strong man was astonished, then smiled knowingly, "It makes sense, given his current situation, he’d avoid you like the plague, hardly daring to come looking for trouble."

"What do you mean by that?"

Viper was slightly taken aback, suspiciously looking at the young strong man.

One-Eyed Dragon and the others were equally puzzled.

The young strong man said, "While in the Outer Sea, he continuously activated the Forbidden Technique, and for as long as fifty to sixty breaths."

"What?"

"Is he suicidal?"

Viper looked shocked.

"No wonder he’s so easygoing today, it’s because he doesn’t dare to activate the Forbidden Technique again."

"He really had me fooled just now."

One-Eyed Dragon suddenly became enlightened, a hint of anger creeping up on his face.

Suddenly!

Viper’s eyes glowed green, grinning sinisterly, "This is a great opportunity!"

"What are you planning?"

The young strong man frowned.

"Usually, we all have Forbidden Techniques, and even if conflict arises, we don’t dare to act rashly."

"But now, with him not daring to activate the Forbidden Technique, he’s like a toothless viper, naturally we should eliminate him!"

"Even if we can’t eliminate him, we must force him into a desperate situation and let him taste the flavor of death!"

Viper laughed coldly.

"That does sound quite interesting."

The young strong man chuckled playfully.

Seeing that the young strong man did not object, Viper immediately looked at One-Eyed Dragon and ordered, "Immediately pursue him, bring him back dead or alive, understand?"

"Understood!"

One-Eyed Dragon nodded, turned off the Image Crystal Stone, and shouted, "Boys, let the hunt begin!"

"Kill!!!"

Everyone immediately roared, the cries of slaughter shook the heavens!

...

On a certain island.

On a mountain peak.

The young strong man looked at Viper, impatiently saying, "Have you thought about what I told you?"

Viper played with the ring on his finger, smiling lightly, "Why rush, let me consider a few more days."

"I don’t have time to waste with you, you must give me an answer immediately, or else I’ll find someone else to cooperate with."

The young strong man stated.

Viper raised an eyebrow, staring at the young strong man, those green eyes flashing dangerous signals.

"Don’t look at me like that, I’m not easily intimidated."

The young strong man became increasingly impatient.

"Alright, alright."

"I agree to cooperate with you."

"But once we seize the Danfire, we must clarify how to distribute it in advance."

Viper smiled darkly.

"How do you think we should distribute it?"

The young strong man frowned.

Viper’s eyes flashed sharply, "The Danfire goes to you, and you give me your Forbidden Technique."

"Do you think that’s possible?"

The young strong man sneered, "I think the best way is to have a fair one-on-one duel after seizing the Danfire, and who wins gets the Danfire."

"Alright, let’s do it your way."

Viper chuckled, the smile carrying a hint of chilling coldness, undisguised.

The young strong man remained indifferent.

Because among the Qinghai Ten, he feared no one, not even the Old Viper in front of him.

...

Splash!

On the sea, the Saint King Vessel streaked like a meteor chasing the moon, waves surging wherever it went.

Qin Feiyang had been watching the sea behind them.

Seeing no sign of Viper Number One returning, he turned to Wang Youer, "You can slow down a bit, don’t overexert."

Reviving the Saint King Vessel, like reviving other Holy Artifacts, requires a continuous supply of Battle Intent.

In other words.

Battle Intent is equivalent to the fuel for the Saint King Vessel.

The faster, the more Battle Intent is consumed.

So this extreme speed can’t be sustained indefinitely, or else Wang Youer would face the danger of depleting Battle Intent.

Wang Youer glanced at Qin Feiyang, this time she did not bicker, slowing the speed by half, then took a Battle Intent Pill to replenish the lost Battle Intent.

She gazed at the sea ahead, appearing thoughtful.

Qin Feiyang suspiciously glanced at her, then turned to Wang Zicheng, asking, "Brother Wang, have you ever taken the Lifespan Extension Pill?"

"No."

Wang Zicheng shook his head.

"No way?"

Qin Feiyang was surprised.

To have such a Forbidden Technique, yet never taken the Lifespan Extension Pill?

"Not just me, none of the Qinghai Ten have taken the Lifespan Extension Pill."

"Because we understand that once the Lifespan Extension Pill is taken, it means losing the last safeguard. After all, in one’s lifetime, one can only take it once."

"And if one day you truly reach a desperate situation, there would be only one way left."

Wang Zicheng said.

"That’s true."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

Everyone faces desperate moments.

If there’s a Lifespan Extension Pill, even if Wang Zicheng activates the Forbidden Technique and exhausts all his lifespan, before dying, he can use the Lifespan Extension Pill to prolong life.

But once taken in advance, at the critical moment between life and death, there’s no retreat.

So, whether for Wang Zicheng or other Qinghai Ten, the Lifespan Extension Pill is the final safeguard.

None would take it unless absolutely necessary.

"Um..."

Suddenly.

Wang Youer opened her mouth but hesitated to speak.
