Free Web NovelChapter 2207: Chapter 2242: Requesting the Island Master to Take Action
When Xu Jianqiang saw that Ru Mingwei did not personally take action, he looked at him coldly and said, "Patriarch Ru, if you go there in person, the brothers can reduce many casualties."
Ru Mingwei is at the middle stage of the Divine Realm Fourth Level. If he goes out, he can suppress Mu Gaosou and enter the castle of Skeleton Sect.
"No need!"
Ru Mingwei waved his hand and said, "Eldest Young Master, have confidence in us. Those small fries on Skull Island are no match for us. We can easily take them down. Just wait for the good news. It won’t be long before the two of you enter Skull Fort."
"Not even a day?"
Xu Haibo and Xu Jianqiang looked at each other, a hint of anger flashing in their eyes. Ru Mingwei clearly felt that the Black Obsidian offered was too little, refusing to exert his full effort, thus appearing lazy. At this rate, it may take several days. What will happen next? No one knows.
But...
Neither could further urge him, for Ru Mingwei was unwilling to take action unless the Xu Family offered more Black Obsidian. However, observing Ru Mingwei’s greedy methods, it seemed tens of millions wouldn’t suffice to satisfy this hungry wolf.
Ru Mingwei ordered the three pirate groups to dispatch more men, but the prior attack was already quite fierce. All the pirates on Skull Island began pretending to follow the order, attacking once and retreating, then attacking again and continuing to retreat for rest.
The Second Elder, Fourth Elder, and others were very pleased upon receiving the news, they immediately coordinated with the pirate legion’s actions, engaging fiercely for a while then becoming silent, as if both sides were conducting military exercises.
After dark, the pirate legion unexpectedly withdrew, claiming they were exhausted from fighting all day, with countless casualties, needing recovery.
At that moment, various battle reports became increasingly exaggerated, according to these reports, the pirates have been killed and wounded numbering in the tens of thousands while the Skeleton Island forces killed also reached a terrifying number of over a hundred thousand with nearly a thousand in the Divine Realm Third Level.
Pirates are bandits!
Xu Haibo and Xu Jianqiang hated their actions, but what could they do? It’s impossible to give Ru Mingwei more Black Obsidian. If they gave Ru Mingwei tens of millions, even a hundred million, yet he remained unsatisfied?
Xu Haibo pondered for a moment, then secretly left the warship, surreptitiously sending messages to Xu Guotao, then to the family controlling Ru Mingwei, urging them to restrain him otherwise this battle might last ten or twenty days.
...
A day passed quickly, but Ding Fan still had not succeeded in breaking through.
The channel was established, but the soul had not fully integrated. This moment was crucial: as long as all True Yuan and Soul merged, the soul would stabilize, and Ding Fan would break through to the Divine Realm Third Level.
The Second Elder did not disturb him, Ru Mingwei’s pirate characteristics delayed landing time, but Ding Fan encountered difficulties!
Because he found that some soul thoughts could not merge, while others merged easily, but these would not merge.
"Did Mu Gaosou give me the wrong method?"
Ding Fan was puzzled, this situation shouldn’t occur. Mu Gaosou dared not harm him, the cultivation method he provided was undoubtedly correct.
So why did this happen?
Ding Fan couldn’t understand, he could only merge the remaining soul thoughts, dealing with those unwilling to merge last.
At midnight, all the soul thoughts had merged, leaving only a few, Ding Fan spent nearly three hours trying to merge them to no avail.
Now, there were only two explanations: it’s either Mu Gaosou’s method was flawed, or Ding Fan himself was at fault.
Everyone’s physique differs; some cultivate quickly, others slowly, some cannot cultivate, others have physical deformities, so any situation can be understood.
Currently, Ding Fan was very troubled!
He had consumed two Limitless Pills already, facing the third. If all three were exhausted without success, then what? His soul might collapse, rendering everything done previously void.
Just as Ding Fan agonized, a change suddenly occurred.
The Beast Bone Pendant suddenly emitted light, akin not to the Alchemical Medicine sparkling, but reminiscent of the feeling from Sirius Ancient Tomb, akin to when he accepted the legacy of the Sirius Elder Samurai, it seemed as though the Beast Bone Pendant was about to riot, creating a sense of disturbance and trembling.
After the Beast Bone Pendant changed, Ding Fan’s legacy tattoo on his back began to shine, the Sirius on his back started moving, which felt dreadful to him.
Because at this moment, he discovered he couldn’t move, it seemed everything was beginning to lose control.
"Beast Bone, don’t mess around!"
Ding Fan secretly prayed, recalling last time he consumed the original Blood Essence, the Beast Bone Pendant behaved similarly, continuously glowing and heating, also constantly trembling.
Oddly enough, this time Ding Fan wasn’t shrouded by mysterious forces, yet still couldn’t move, feeling his body detached from his control.
Perhaps it’s that...
Ding Fan’s soul now couldn’t control his body!
This was a terrifying phenomenon, that his own body was beyond his control? Ding Fan thought of Zhong Wugu’s situation on Night Wolf Emperor’s Tomb Mountain, feeling deeply apprehensive.
Is there a soul lurking within the Beast Bone Pendant? Is it trying to seize his body, eliminate his soul.
```
No matter how scared Ding Fan was, he couldn’t move, nor was he capable of doing anything.
He only felt that the beast bone was continuously getting brighter, glowing and heating up, finally feeling as though the skin on his chest had been burned, and then a foreign object entered his body.
The feeling became increasingly clear; a furious wolf seemed to be roaring inside his blood vessels, as if roaring within his veins, directly rushing towards his soul.
It really was like that!
Ding Fan vaguely saw a small wolf shadow roaring as it entered his mind, then rushed into his soul. At that moment, his soul appeared extraordinarily bright, and those few spiritual thoughts that couldn’t be fused suddenly merged.
"This is the end, everything is over!"
The spiritual thoughts were all fused, and the soul now became the place that made Ding Fan tremble. Now, a virtual shadow of Sirius entered his soul, his body couldn’t move, what does this mean? This means his body might already be under the control of this Sirius.
Thinking about it, he didn’t have the mark of a Legacy Warrior on his forehead, but what about his forehead? His legacy mark was on his back, which was different from others, and even others only had one inherited skill, but he had two?
Thinking of this, Ding Fan became even more afraid. If he could do something, maybe he wouldn’t be so scared, but now, he could do nothing but think.
That small wolf shadow entered the soul and didn’t move again, but the soul continued to radiate light nearly reaching ten thousand feet. Ding Fan was still unable to move.
He could only wait for the soul to calm down, wait to control his own body, or wait for his soul to be completely destroyed!
...
Outside, it was already bright; Ru Mingwei slept comfortably, woke up, and even had people go out to fish as he wanted to eat stewed fish.
Xu Haibo and Xu Jianqiang got up early, Ru Mingwei ordered his subordinates to serve a few bowls of delicious fish soup. How could they drink it? The two didn’t even dare leave the cabin, only had people request for Ru Mingwei to come meet them.
As the sun neared noon, Ru Mingwei appeared, and upon the urging of Xu Haibo and Xu Jianqiang again, he ordered the people to attack Skull Island, but the army’s advance, just like yesterday, was completely ineffective.
Throughout the morning, the pirates around the island yelled, the sounds of killing were deafening, then they all retreated. This time, less than ten Martial Artists were killed, and many pirates started fires on the beach to cook.
Xu Haibo and Xu Jianqiang were so angry they felt like their lungs were about to explode, but the two were powerless. After eating, a mysterious person quietly boarded the warship, it was actually Shen Baoxu.
The Shen Family of Baihe Island is the northern overlord of Tianmu Sea, and Ru Mingwei and others were under the control of the Shen Family Clan, Shen Baoxu was an elder of the Shen Family Clan, and after he personally came over, Ru Mingwei naturally dared not act recklessly.
"Launch the attack right away, make sure to take Skull Island within a day!"
Shen Baoxu gave an order that couldn’t be disobeyed, Ru Mingwei hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Shen Chang please be assured, tonight we can spend the night in Skull Fort, if I can’t take this Skull Island, I’ll twist off my head and use it as a ball!"
Ru Mingwei strode out and then let out a roar: "Everyone listen to my order, attack! Take down Skull Island before it gets dark, tell them to find Tiger Shark, tell them to attack with all their might, or I’ll smash what’s around their necks!"
Ru Mingwei personally appeared, and the pirates immediately understood his intentions, rushing out of the warship one by one, gathering on the beach, continuously condensing their killing intent.
"Buzz buzz!"
Ru Mingwei’s lower abdomen flashed white, a Divine Weapon appeared, he lept onto it, a domineering Battle Saber appeared in his hand, waving his hand he shouted: "Launch the attack for me!"
"Alright, that’s it."
Seeing this, Shen Baoxu knew his task was completed, he cupped his hand toward Xu Haibo and Xu Jianqiang to make a salute, and quietly dove into the sea to leave.
Before Shen Baoxu came, the patriarch of the Shen Family had instructed him that his identity should not be revealed, the Shen Family in this matter was only doing Master Yan a favor, not personally dealing with Ding Fan, so after Ru Mingwei started the war, Shen Baoxu immediately withdrew.
"Kill them all~"
Soon, the other two sides also moved, the other two Pirate Groups followed Ru Mingwei’s orders and attacked together, they were afraid of Ru Mingwei’s methods and dared not be any more careless.
"Now it’s really started!"
When the Second Elder learned of Ru Mingwei’s news, he couldn’t help but look at Mu Gaosou, who sighed and said, "Signal the Island Master to come out personally, this Divine Realm Fourth Level mid-tier, I can’t handle."
The Second Elder could only take out a signal flare and throw it into the air, the flare exploded in mid-air, burning fiercely and emitting dazzling light.
Wu Qingxia had been sitting outside the Baisheng Underground Palace, seeing the flare explode in the sky, hurriedly got up and walked toward Ding Fan’s room. She pushed the room door but couldn’t open it, clenched her teeth and struck the door with her True Yuan Power.
"Bang!"
There was only a small mechanism prohibition on the door, Wu Qingxia struck and broke it, she walked into the room and looked at Ding Fan sitting on the bed, bowed and said, "Island Master, they can’t hold off any longer, please Island Master, take action!"
Ding Fan didn’t move, he seemed to not hear anything, from his appearance, there was nothing special about his body, the mark on his back was covered by the robes, but the Beast Bone Pendant had disappeared, leaving only a black cord.
Wu Qingxia didn’t know Ding Fan’s body had changed, she waited for a while, seeing Ding Fan not responding, she shouted again, "Island Master, they can’t hold outside anymore, if you don’t act, Skull Island might be completely wiped out."
Ding Fan remained silent, Wu Qingxia clenched her silver teeth, reached out to push Ding Fan, but Ding Fan still didn’t open his eyes nor make any movement.
"What happened?"
Wu Qingxia was startled, carefully inspected Ding Fan, found his breathing was still there, his heartbeat was normal, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
