Chapter 869 - Cyan Dragon Lock Is Mature!

The sky gradually darkened, and the bright moon shone brightly in the sky with stars twinkling.

When it was midnight, Fang Qiu and the others had already sat cross-legged and began to have a rest.

In the darkness, several figures came to the island in various ways from different directions.

“Aargh!” As they were walking, a blood-curdling scream rang out.

The scream awakened Fang Qiu and the others who were sitting cross-legged and resting.

“Aargh!” While they had merely opened their eyes, another scream sounded.

“Aargh, my ass, my ass hurts!” Shrieks of agony could be constantly heard.

Hiding at the back of the island, Fang Qiu and the others could not help but hold back their laughter as they heard those miserable screams.

“Snake, there’s a snake…”

“Aargh!!!”

The island at night seemed to have converted into hell. Numerous people coming to the island had been seriously startled and injured, causing those who had yet to land on the island to hesitate whether they should proceed.

On this night, all kinds of languages could be heard from the island as if people were having a Union Nations’ conference.

Nevertheless, they sounded a bit miserable.

Early the next morning, as the sun rose, Fang Qiu came out with the others to stroll around the island. As expected, they found many injured people.

This group of killers felt depressed. They did want to leave.

However, they had no way of leaving. How far could they go in the vast sea since they were covered with wounds?

They had no choice but to wait painfully until the morning and surrender.

He Gaoming took all the Huaxia martial arts practitioners on the island to tie up the injured killers, maimed them, and then placed them together with the killers who came before.

As these killers met each other, they felt extremely embarrassed.

No one spoke.

Fang Qiu walked to the place where the Cyan Dragon Lock grew and took a closer look. He found that the jade pillar in the Cyan Dragon Lock had begun to show a transparent color, and the vines of the pillar had also turned green.

“One more day.” Fang Qiu calculated and found that there was still one day left, and the Cyan Dragon Lock would mature at today’s midnight.

After checking the Cyan Dragon Lock, Fang Qiu came to the killers, took a glance at them, and declared, “I won’t kill you. Go and sit on the beach, all of you. Of course, you can swim back. I won’t stop you, as long as you have the strength to swim back!”

“If we could swim back, we would have gone long ago!” The killers thought to themselves and could only stand up.

Driven by He Gaoming and the others, they came to the beach and sat there awkwardly.

Fang Qiu looked at these killers from a distance, then smiled and whispered a few words to He Gaoming.

He Gaoming suddenly burst out laughing.

“Boss, you’re giving them a serious blow! I like it!” After that, he went to ask people to move the stones.

Soon, an English word was presented on the beach—killer!

Fang Qiu was meant to tell the people who intended to come to the island that they were all killers!

However, these killers were even more ashamed.

What a humiliation.

However, it was not terrible to be disgraced. What was worse was that they failed to determine whether they could live or not.

Admittedly, Fang Qiu’s method was quite effective.

After seeing this scene, many ships which were ready to come onto the island immediately turned around and left without delay.

So many killers had lost, and some of the killers’ characteristics were quite familiar.

“Since they’ve all been defeated. Why should we bother to attack?”

“Run!”

It seemed that this island was not a place for trying one’s luck.

The man named John Doe was not someone they could attempt to defeat.

It was good to win the bounty, but if they went to the island and were forced to sit on the beach after being caught, they would both lose the money and their lives!

Observing that many ships were scared away, Fang Qiu nodded with satisfaction and began to adjust his breathing.

Tonight, the Heaven Treasure would be mature.

But in the past few days, no matter how enormous the movement on the island was, the guardian beast of the Heaven Treasure had not shown up. This made him have a bad intuition that something terrible would happen.

Meanwhile, those who returned to Huaxia finally brought back the news. They all told what had happened on the island to their forces.

All the forces were astounded!

The Heaven Treasure ranked tenth had unexpectedly shown up in the world.

This was something that no one had expected. They all thought it was only a Heaven Treasure, but they didn’t expect it to rank tenth!

If they had known, they would have gone there a long time ago.

Leaders of forces deeply regretted it. Why did they only send people with inadequate powers back then?

They considered it only a cultivation experience at most, but they didn’t assume that there would be such a valuable treasure!

Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now. It was too late to go to the island. It seemed that John Doe would acquire it at last.

Although they were unwilling to give up, it was better for John Doe to get it than to leave it for the people of the Southeast Region!

The actions of those Wulin people in the Southeast Region directly made all the major Wulin forces indignant.

“Damn it! They killed the people of our country. Do they think that there are no powerful people in our country?”

“That’s outrageous. How dare these monkeys from the Southeast Region challenge our country?”

“It seems that our Huaxia martial artist hasn’t taken action for a long time, which led to the bullying of those monkeys in the Southeast Region!”

Everyone was prepared to find an opportunity to teach the people of the Southeast Region a lesson.

After feeling indignant, everyone’s attention was drawn to the arrow shot by Fang Qiu on the island!

Hearing the narration of the people from different forces, everyone was so stunned that they couldn’t believe it was true.

“No way! Is he so powerful?”

“Is John Doe so strong that he could strike down a fighter with one shot?”

“How is this possible? If he really did this, is John Doe still a human?”

“It’s so terrifying! His strength sounds amazing!”

In the Pear Garden, Yun Yangzi received the news in the first place.

“The Heaven Treasure ranked tenth? Draw the seawater to cast a bow and destroy a fighter plane with one shot?” Yun Yangzi sighed in shock and said, “Did you still hold back when we were fighting before?”

“John Doe, it seems that I can’t see through you anymore. You’ve truly got great luck.”

…

“The Heaven Treasure ranked tenth? A fighter?” In the manor of the Diwu family in Nanjiang, Diwu Qian and Diwu Mingchuan sat in the hall. Hearing the news reported by their subordinates, Diwu Qian’s face instantly showed a look of surprise. She said, “Although Wulin still exists, this Wulin is different from that in ancient times. Because people used cold weapons in ancient times, everyone thinks that ancient Wulin was very powerful. But now people use hot weapons. In the face of hot weapons, even the strongest martial artist couldn’t resist it. But John Doe could actually shoot a fighter.”

“Father, is John Doe really so powerful?” The more she thought about it, the more intimidated she felt. Diwu Qian asked Diwu Mingchuan next to her.

“Qian’er, the world is so big!” Diwu Mingchuan sighed with emotion.

Diwu Qian was amazed.

She did not expect that her father would give such a compliment to John Doe!

Since she was born, she had never heard her father comment on others in this way, not even Yun Yangzi.

Was John Doe truly so remarkable?

“What John Doe asked people to tell us was right.” While Diwu Qian was being shocked, Diwu Mingchuan took a sip of hot tea, stood up, and said, “Huaxia Wulin has been cut off for a long time, and everyone has forgotten us. It’s time to take action.”

“As for the Heaven Treasure ranked 10th, I didn’t expect it to show up in the world and that John Doe would get it. It’s all about the right time and luck.”

…

Wulin was in an uproar, but the South Sea was quiet.

Maybe it was a brief moment of peace.

Night fell.

On the island, it was almost midnight.

Fang Qiu, who had been adjusting his breathing, suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked up at the moon.

“It’s almost midnight. Cyan Dragon will completely wind the pillar!”

Fang Qiu saw that the moon in the sky was particularly round and bright, but when he took a closer look, he could see a faint green ring around the moon, which was flashing like a power grid.

Looking around the island, even in the dark, Fang Qiu could faintly see that there were short green threads of light lingering in the air as if they were dust floating in the air.

Fang Qiu thought to himself, “Could it cause such a strange phenomenon?”

He immediately walked to the Cyan Dragon Lock and quietly waited for it to mature.

But as time went by, he spotted that the green threads of energy between Heaven and Earth were gathering toward the Cyan Dragon Lock little by little.

Every time this kind of special energy seeped into the Cyan Dragon Lock, the color of the Lock would become deeper. With the growth of the Lock, a layer of light green mist gradually pervaded the air.

The mist covered within a meter of the Cyan Dragon Lock’s growth area.

Every time the energy of the green threads approached, it would be absorbed by the light green mist.

As time flew by, there were fewer and fewer green threads around, and the Cyan Dragon Lock was getting closer to maturity.

“Swish!” When the last green thread was absorbed by the green mist, a sound suddenly rang out.

The light green mist that shrouded the Cyan Dragon Lock instantly retracted!

All the mist and energy were sucked into the Cyan Dragon Lock.

As the mist dissipated, a dazzling green light burst out and then vanished in a flash!

Now the Cyan Dragon Lock was fully mature.

Without hesitation, Fang Qiu reached out to pick it.

“Whoosh…” But at this moment, an air-breaking sound came. A black figure leaped, rushed directly to the side of the Cyan Dragon Lock before Fang Qiu, and was about to seize it.

As Fang Qiu saw this, he stopped and looked at it, waiting.

He was waiting for the guardian beast to take action.

He wouldn’t believe that there were no guardian beasts here!

Sure enough, just as the black figure was about to touch the Cyan Dragon Lock, a water-formed arrow suddenly shot out from the sea. Like an invincible sharp arrow, it rushed directly to the black figure.

The figure was about to seize the Cyan Dragon Lock.

However, the moment he grabbed it, he would definitely be hit by the water-formed arrow.

In this case, the look of the black figure changed, and he hastily dodged. Because he could feel that once he was hit by the arrow, he would inevitably be injured. By then, he would completely lose the chance to scramble for the Cyan Dragon Lock!

Fang Qiu turned to look at the sea.

A huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea where the water-formed arrow shot out.

Then, a huge turtle shell slowly emerged from the bottom of the vortex.

It was a big sea turtle!

In fact, it was an incredibly giant sea turtle!

Seeing the giant sea turtle, Fang Qiu smiled.

“The guardian beast indeed turned up.”

He immediately turned his head to look at the black figure, only to find that it was actually one of the killers on the island and he was from a nearby country.

It seemed that the killer had recognized the Cyan Dragon Lock since he reached the island. That was why he had not taken action since last night. His purpose was to find an opportunity to seize the Cyan Dragon Lock!

Just as Fang Qiu was observing, the killer moved his feet and flashed out again. He darted straight to the Cyan Dragon Lock, trying to grab it again.

“Swish!” Just as he approached the Lock, another water-formed arrow shot out from the sea.

“Humph.” The killer was furious.

He was aware that if he dodged it, he would no longer have a better chance. Therefore, he made up his mind and went straight to the arrow. He intended to resist the arrow head-on. Then he would run away instantly after picking the Cyan Dragon Lock.

“Bang!” Then, the water-formed arrow struck the killer with great force, and the huge impact forced him to stagger three steps back.

The giant sea turtle was gathering its strength to launch the next water-formed arrow.

“Now.” Fang Qiu shouted to himself and made his move.

He charged directly to the Cyan Dragon Lock at an incomparably fast speed. His right hand swept as if the autumn wind blew fallen leaves. At the same time, he directly grabbed the Cyan Dragon Lock.
