Beginning with the Ubume Bird Chapter 253

Chapter 253: Chapter 90: Set the Tone!

Li Yan roared with laughter as a drop of bright red blood fell from the air onto the dragon bone.

Blood Dip!

Li Yan raised his hand and broke off a section of the ship's beam, slamming the bottom of the spear against the deck. The cracks in the deck spread quickly and, with the trampling of the Red Flag pirates, it finally couldn't hold up and began to collapse.

Li Yan's footing vanished beneath him, and he flipped over to land on a broken section of the bulkhead, scaling it like a gecko rushing towards the dragon bone.

With the power of Nine Phoenixes within him, along with the never-slip property of the “Stubborn thousand-layer sole”, even though Li Yan still couldn't completely defy gravity, walking on water and scaling walls had become effortless. The places he smashed with his great spear were left without footing. Several Gaoli ghosts took their injured brothers into the water, but Li Yan walked as if on solid ground.

The jelly-like film filled with “Jealousy”, also known as “Siren Algae Bacterium”, seemed to sense danger. It swirled and suddenly contracted, wrapping layer upon layer around the dragon bone's core. The film itself was over three feet thick, trapping that drop of crimson Blood Dip inside, embedding it deep into the wood.

Within the hollow dragon bone, the Siren Algae Bacterium formed filmy bubbles that flowed and finally twisted into a fierce beast's face with indistinct features. It lunged violently at Li Yan from the glass vessels and hollow chambers, but in an instant, it was shattered head-on by the Tiger Head Great Spear!

Hidden Flight!

Swallow Through the Curtain!

Blood Dip!

Streams of white, platinum-colored light engulfed the “Siren Algae Bacterium,” the glass vessels, as well as half of the softwood dragon bone, submerging them completely. The entire mass of Siren Algae Bacterium split into clumps and tried to scatter in all directions, but they could hardly move an inch under the chilling cold, and then were punctured into icy lumps by a flurry of white feathers.

Yet, with such destructive power, Li Yan still wasn't satisfied.

Boom!

The crimson droplet of blood suddenly exploded, with frosty white lines spreading quickly across the core dragon bone of “Jealousy” along the entire length of the ship.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~

The dragon bone pierced through the entirety of Jealousy, and thunderous cracking sounds surged out from where Li Yan was, reaching far distances. The sailors on the ship, already panicked by the Cai Clan and Gaoli ghosts, all heard this bizarre sound of destruction.

It inexplicably reminded one of the heavy breathing of a dying man.

The massive amount of “Siren Algae Bacterium” on Jealousy suddenly went mad, climbing wildly upon the surrounding fixtures, barrels, broken planks, even a screw — then clinging to these objects, they sank into the sea!

The entire ship's timber and metal plates peeled off layer by layer. Beneath Li Yan's feet was nothing but an empty hull, and “Jealousy,” too, became the second legendary warship to be destroyed in the Far East among the seven great ships.

Li Yan shook his head and felt an elusive sensation of weightlessness, as the side effects of “Blood Dip” and “Hidden Flight” came at him in waves, though it didn't show on his face.

At that moment, the bulkhead above Li Yan's head suddenly burst open!

A fist the size of a head smashed down towards the top of Li Yan's head. Li Yan seemed to regain his senses in shock, and like an angry tiger lifting his head, he stood firm between the ship's ribs on his two feet, raising his great spear to parry the fist!

The blast of air scattered in all directions!

“Giggle giggle…”

Li Yan looked up and locked eyes with the Portuguese naval officer standing on the plank above, through the beams one by one.

This man was the very Portuguese stuck with a pipe in his mouth, delayed by a few men surnamed Yan.

Now, the only thing left of his pipe was a comical stem. Half of his face was torn off, revealing an array of gears of different sizes and arrangements, copper wires, and a bit of white bone underneath.

Not only that, but most of his upper body's clothing had been burnt away by flames, exposing his muscles and part of his forearm. However, looking inside from the skin, most of this man's internal organs and blood vessels were gone, replaced instead by gears large and small with signs of wear and tear, as well as pumps.

They appeared chaotic and rough, yet they also demonstrated exquisite craftsmanship and order.

At the moment, these gears were spinning wildly as if mad, with steamy sweat turning into mist, seeping out from the sailor's skin.

Fellet

Duwa Royal Family Guard Instructor (equipped with top-grade Magic Motion Technology)

Status: Seriously injured, overloaded (central axle organs operating past maximum capacity, gaining increased strength)

Threat Level: Purple-red (comparable to the limit)

Evaluation: Nine Luminaries

Remarks: He alone is worth half of Porto Harbor!

—-A certain King of Portugal

Li Yan's eyebrows knitted tighter and tighter. Even he, facing the encirclement of Yan Laoda, Yan Ajiu, and others, would more likely lose than win, and he might even face the possibility of being killed. This Fellet must have at least shaken off several of the Yan family henchmen while still retaining the strength of the Nine Luminaries. At his peak, he might have the power of Nine Luminaries Peak or even higher!

Unfortunately for Fellet, he was far too overconfident facing Li Yan's Tiger Head Great Spear, and he suffered a significant disadvantage the moment they crossed paths.

He actually had the confidence to catch Li Yan's spear with his own arm!

Fellet's entire arm, forged from metal and appearing heavy and dark, had five fingers that were not clumsy at all. He reached out to grab the Tiger Head Great Spear, with a sharpness level of one hundred…

Fellet pursed his lips, his teeth shattering the mouthpiece of his pipe.

Gun Lance Fang!

Pieces and chunks fell profusely, and within moments, Fellet's entire fist crumbled and fell, and the black fragments streaked across Li Yan's face into the sea.

Li Yan looked up at Fellet, who had lost one hand, with a peculiar laugh, and beckoned him with a crooked finger.

“Red-Haired Barbarian, pay with your life for my sixth brother!”

Yan Laoda was no longer human-shaped but rather a flamboyant flame under his cloak, his features blurred, and his black braids swinging with the wind. With the “Siren Algae Bacterium” protection gone, jealousy ignited a ferocious inferno under Yan Laoda's full force.

The half-ghostly-seeming Portuguese in the eyes of the pirates did not hesitate, turning and leaping into the sea!

The flames couldn't catch up with him, but a breathtaking streak moved faster than flames, lunging straight at Fellet!

Yan Ajiu!

The Fire Essence Longsword was already broken, the tear-shaped mole on the woman's face had vanished, and a brilliant blue radiance emanated from her, striking at Fellet.

Both individuals collided in mid-air.

The woman's eyes turned red, clearly losing her sanity, yet the seemingly clumsy and fleeing Fellet sported a sly smile. The air exploded with a bang, and Fellet's body folded in the air, tracing a checkmark!

He not only dodged Yan Ajiu's fist but his remaining right hand was also quick to reach for the dark gold short Firearm at his waist, pulling the trigger on Yan Ajiu's back!

“Ajiu, be careful!”

Elder Yan was scared out of his wits.

Wind Marsh!

Li Yan leaped down, arriving first despite starting later! His great spear smashed down from above, and seeing the white gold spear, Fellet's scalp numbed; he had no choice but to turn the muzzle around, shooting at Li Yan.

Sturdy Body! (Another feature of the Tiger Head Great Spear, used for blocking)

The bullet struck the head of the Gold-engraved Tiger Head Spear and flew off, its direction unknown.

Splash~

Fellet and Yan Ajiu fell into the water one after the other.

Li Yan, shaken by the powerful impact, somersaulted in mid-air, gathered his long spear, and grabbed hold of a sail rope with one hand.

Yan Ajiu's face emerged from the water, her wet hair parting sharply. She looked around in the melee but could no longer find Fellet's shadow.

Li Yan shouted at Elder Yan: “The overall situation is settled, let the fleeing enemy go!”

Elder Yan's expression was complicated as he looked at Li Yan, and he seemed to remember something. Smoke billowed over a meter long from his nostrils, and he clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth.

“Red Hair Devils, this isn't over yet!”
