Chapter 514: Chapter 0433 Gathering of the Ancient Martial Families
"Please come in, sir!"
The previously heavily armed, cold-faced man in black.
At this moment, he made way.
And, prepared a small boat.
Respectfully invited Ye Qingfeng inside.
"Let’s go!"
Ye Qingfeng didn’t care how An Qi felt.
He led An Ruoqing and Bai Wan’er to the shores of West Lake.
An Qi, too, shamelessly and without any sense of propriety followed along.
"Maybe this guy, just has some connections with those black-clad idiots!"
An Qi muttered discontentedly.
At this moment beside West Lake, there were quite a few boats on the lake.
"What’s going on? Wasn’t entry prohibited? Why are there so many people?"
Seeing the boats and pleasure vessels on the lake surface of West Lake,
An Ruoqing couldn’t hold back.
"They must have entered through the backdoor like Ye Qingfeng, right!"
Bai Wan’er glanced at Ye Qingfeng.
Ever since the incident at the Mingzhu City Grand Hotel,
She became more and more displeased with Ye Qingfeng.
"You enjoy yourselves, I have other matters to attend to!"
After saying this, Ye Qingfeng took another small boat and headed toward the center of the lake.
Ye Qingfeng neither paddled nor did the boat have an engine.
Yet, it moved forward as if it was propelled by an invisible force.
"What are you pretending for, claiming to have serious matters; could it be to meet that big shot?"
An Qi sneered.
The big shot he mentioned was naturally the one whose inspection led to the blockade of West Lake.
However, his tone carried a hint of envy and mockery.
"Let’s just enjoy ourselves!"
Bai Wan’er wasn’t too concerned about Ye Qingfeng leaving.
However, An Ruoqing’s beautiful eyes continuously gazed longingly in Ye Qingfeng’s direction.
"Hey! Look over there, there’s a fool fishing without a hook."
An Qi noticed a big man on a small boat and couldn’t help but laugh.
But just at that moment,
The big man gave a flick of his wrist, and the fishing rod lifted. Suddenly, a large fish bit the hookless line and jumped out of the water.
Because of An Qi’s voice, the big man’s gaze also looked over.
His eyes were incredibly sharp, and with a cold snort like a thunderclap, it resounded in An Qi’s mind.
Immediately, it felt as if his head had been smashed with a glass bottle, and his head throbbed in pain.
"Hmph! Fool."
The big man snorted coldly, paddled his boat, and went to another spot to fish.
An Qi dared not speak further, his eyes full of fear.
Looking around, many tourists stood at their boat’s prow, each with sharp eyes and an imposing presence.
"Cousin, take it easy, it seems like what those guards said is true; everyone coming in today is unusual."
An Ruoqing couldn’t help but warn her impulsive cousin.
"Little girl, don’t you have a sect, or did your sect not warn you? You seem like novices, without any understanding of Jianghu rules!"
At this time, an elderly voice drifted over.
A black boat reached the side of An Ruoqing and the others’ small vessel.
A straw-hatted old man, dressed in linen, sitting at the bow, chuckled.
"Sect? Jianghu? What... what is this? Are we filming a movie?"
An Ruoqing’s eyes widened in surprise.
"Ah! Are you ordinary people who secretly slipped into our martial artists’ circle?"
A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl beside the old man, with a face as delicate as a porcelain doll,
Blinked her bright eyes, curiously looking at An Ruoqing and the others.
"Someone brought us in, is there something taboo about that?"
Bai Wan’er couldn’t help but ask out of the doubt in her heart.
"If someone brought you in, it seems they’re also people of martial arts."
"But today, everyone from the ancient martial families, the successors of Tai Chi Boxing, Baji Fist, Xingyi Boxing, Trigram Palm, Eagle Claw Sect are here.
"Even some international experts of karate, Taekwondo, and Free Fighting Sanda have arrived."
"As ordinary people, there are naturally many taboos: less asking, less trouble, and less speaking, observe more, and definitely do not approach the center of the lake."
The old man, being warm-hearted, explained to An Ruoqing and the others.
The ancient martial sects, having a certain foundation, tread the martial arts path easier than other families.
Thus, many martial arts strong people came, having heard of the duel between Ye Qingfeng and the entire Blood Wolf Assassin Organization.
And the thoughts passed on by the state to the Divine Guard.
Was that through Ye Qingfeng’s martial prowess to eradicate the Blood Wolf Assassin Organization, thereby intimidating these martial artists.
"Why can’t we approach the center of the lake?"
An Ruoqing couldn’t suppress her curiosity.
"Of course, you can’t approach. Our Xingyi style’s experts can punch tigers and slash fierce wolves."
"At that time, at the lake’s heart, there will be mythical martial artists in a martial debate, which will be like setting the sky ablaze and boiling the sea, and common folk getting near would be either dead or seriously injured."
The young girl beside the old man explained in a voice akin to a mountain spring.
"Little girl, you’re lying! Your boasting sounds like a movie script."
An Qi was very skeptical.
And thought the two before him were con artists, one an old one and the other young.
"Wan’er, don’t trust their crazy talk. I guess these people just know some martial arts and are here to protect that big shot."
An Qi turned to Bai Wan’er with a face seeking approval.
"Truly, ignorance knows no fear."
The old man was too lazy to argue with these young ordinary people.
His gaze focused on the small boat at the lake’s center.
Earlier, the big man who was fishing had been insulted rudely by An Qi.
If not for the looming battle,
it’s likely An Qi, the fool, would already have been turned into an idiot by that cold snort.
"They’ve arrived!"
At this moment, the exclamations of many martial artists echoed.
To the ordinary ears of people like An Ruoqing, it sounded like the rumbling of thunder.
Soon, in the distant sky over West Lake,
Several black dots began to fall from the sky, with helicopters visible flying overhead.
And these people descended from the helicopters.
The black dots slowly expanded, revealing human figures.
"Is this a collective suicide, jumping without parachutes?"
An Qi couldn’t help but exclaim in shock upon seeing this scene.
Clearly seeing that, from the aircraft, three individuals were descending, none bearing parachutes.
Even if it was water, falling from a kilometer high would be akin to concrete.
Falling would surely turn them into a pulp.
"Boom!"
At the same time, the surface of the water rippled, waves expanding instantly.
It seemed as if a rebounding force transmitted skyward.
Riding this force,
a red, green, and blue figure stood upon the water.
without descending.
"Up ahead, could it be Mr. Ye!"
The towering red-clad figure, with a voice like a booming bell, sent waves across the lake, rippling toward a boat in the lake’s center.
