Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1038 - 1036: Bounty Hunter Hua Qianxiu [Second Update]

Chapter 1038: Chapter 1036: Bounty Hunter Hua Qianxiu [Second Update]

Giant Whale Island.

Here, dragons and fishes jumble together, attracting countless strong fighters.

The Giant Whale Alliance is already a relatively loose organization, and they stop at nothing to achieve their goals, often hired by various forces to do some shady deeds.

The profession of Bounty Hunters also arose above the North Sea because of this.

These are beings who lick blood from the knife’s edge, yet possess formidable strength.

As long as a sufficient price is offered, even if it’s to hunt down a fighter from the Supreme Venerate Realm, powerful bounty hunters will accept the mission.

Today.

Inside the Bounty Hunters Guild building, suddenly appeared a bounty task with a reward amounting to one million origin stones.

For a moment.

The entire Bounty Hunters Guild was boiling with excitement.

"One million origin stones? Even masters of the Supreme Venerate Realm would be tempted!"

"A bounty for the trio from Southern State led by Xiao Yi? Brothers, our chance to strike it rich has come!"

"Strike it rich? With the Bounty Hunter Guild offering such a high price, do you think the target will be weak?"

"This kind of money is not for us to earn!"

"I heard that the four Supreme Bounty Hunters are preparing to make a move..."

"Not just them? I’ve got information that both Nine Dragons Valley and Changkong Island are planning to take action..."

As everyone was discussing.

A nonchalant young man walked out of the crowd, his face sporting a wicked smile. He carried a three-meter Longsword on his shoulder, his hands fiddling with the scabbard as he lazily tossed a silver Token: "This bounty, I claim it!"

"Is that the ace bounty hunter with a silver Token? He’s a super-strong fighter, second only to the four Supreme Bounty Hunters!"

"I know him... That’s Hua Qianxiu. It’s said that he has a very mysterious background and unmatched strength. He has never failed since his debut and is the young genius most likely to challenge for the position of the fifth Supreme Bounty Hunter!"

"Even he’s taking action, the competition for this mission looks fierce!"

"Let’s all take the mission too. Maybe we can profit from the chaos?"

For a moment.

Countless strong fighters swarmed to take on this bounty, which since the birth of the boundless North Sea, could rank within the top three in terms of its astronomical price.

And...

The news from the Bounty Hunters Guild spread like a plague, at a lightning-fast speed throughout the entire endless North Sea.

The portraits of Xiao Yi and his two companions also spread far and wide.

For a moment.

Xiao Yi and his trio became household names in the North Sea.

...

Approaching the Dragon Emperor Tomb.

Xiao Yi and his companions felt that the sea region had become less peaceful. Beneath the azure waters, the silhouettes of giant beasts grew increasingly frequent.

Just moments before...

They encountered a ferocious beast, comparable to the Earth Venerate Realm, the Sea Serpent Emperor’s attack.

In the end, Xiao Yi cut down the beast with a single sword strike.

The enormous body of the beast had just toppled into the water, immediately attracting thousands of other beasts swarming over, devouring the thousand-zhang-long Sea Serpent Emperor in the blink of an eye.

"Although we knew this place was teeming with many beasts, looking at it now, the number of beasts gathering around the Godfall Trench far exceeds our expectations," said Qiu Yiyun with a solemn expression.

Just when the Sea Serpent Emperor appeared, they could sense seven or eight presences within a hundred miles, none weaker than the Sea Serpent Emperor.

It’s because of Xiao Yi’s sword that killed it.

That the other mighty beasts did not dare to come close.

Generally speaking.

Beasts have strong territorial instincts and will not allow others to easily step into their domain.

Especially beasts of the same rank...

The gathering of many strong creatures here could only be explained by the sheer number of beasts nearby.

It also indicates that Xiao Yi and his companions are getting closer and closer to the Godfall Trench.

"Thankfully we brought the Supreme Venerate Realm’s ambergris. As long as we have it, ordinary beasts wouldn’t dare to approach..." Ning Delun let out a long sigh, his expression also somewhat tense.

Xiao Yi had given him countless benefits.

And even the opportunity to step into the Longevity Secret Realm.

If he couldn’t find the Dragon Emperor Tomb, he would have no face to face Xiao Yi!

Xiao Yi said in a deep voice, "Ning, how far are we from the Godfall Trench?"

"Half a day’s journey left!" Ning Delun replied.

Xiao Yi nodded, "I will control the Flying Boat and enter the Godfall Trench as quickly as possible. I have a feeling that this operation will not be as easy as we thought..."

"Hmm!"

The three exchanged looks and saw the gravity in each other’s eyes.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Flying Boat sped away through the skies.

What was supposed to be a half-day trip was compressed into just two hours.

Upon entering the seas...

One could distinctly sense a pungent, blood-thirsty aroma permeating the air, and even the seawater hinted at a tinge of dark red. Occasionally, one could spot mighty mythical beasts battling in the ocean.

It was even possible to see two distinct groups of beasts, clearly divided into opposing factions.

Fighting each other fiercely.

Gigantic corpses floated on the water, attracting hordes of beasts that swarmed to feast.

Here...

The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, was pushed to its utmost extreme.

Bang!

The Flying Boat in flight suddenly shook violently.

As if it had struck a tall mountain.

"What happened?"

"Did we hit something?"

Ning Delun and the other were on full alert.

Xiao Yi said solemnly, "We’ve been attacked by something. You two rest inside the cabin; I’m going to kill whoever ambushed us."

When Xiao Yi left the cabin.

He saw a dazzling golden light flickering uncertainly within the azure seawater—a colossal beast resembling a turtle, covered in gold, the Mystic Turtle.

As large as a hill and with a golden sheen all over its body, it lurked in the water at that moment.

Looking up.

From within its gaping maw, a blue light was being condensed to the extreme.

Hum!

A shocking blue beam shot straight for Xiao Yi.

The assault had indeed been launched by the Mystic Turtle.

"Courting death!"

Xiao Yi sent out a sword-finger thrust in response.

Hum!

The sword light was concentrated to the extreme, turning into a long arc, it cleaved through the blue beam with a bang, also dividing the tumultuous sea into two.

With a swift motion, the blue Longsword bisected the Mystic Turtle.

Blood backflowed into the sea.

Calm returned to the sea surface.

As Xiao Yi was about to head back to the cabin, he halted abruptly in mid-air and snapped his head back to look at the figure approaching on the air.

A weed hung from the corner of his mouth, and both hands were grasping a Longsword.

His seemingly casual gaze held a staggering firmness and chill.

The newcomer was none other than the ace Bounty Hunter Hua Qianxiu!

"Xiao Yi?"

Hua Qianxiu stood before Xiao Yi, touched his chin with a hand, and tentatively asked.

Xiao Yi frowned and glanced at him: "Who are you? How do you know me?"

"So you really are Xiao Yi? Hahaha, fortune truly favors my path, to find you without any effort!"

With a triumphant laugh, Hua Qianxiu’s mouth turned up in a smirk, pointing his thumb at himself, he said, "I am Hua Qianxiu, a Silver-ranked ace Bounty Hunter bestowed by the North Sea Bounty Hunters Guild. Of course, I’m also the man sent to collect your life..."
