Chapter 742: The Battle Commences

The Bat Prince remained silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, he had reverted to Yuan Suiyun's voice.

However, he didn't question Chu Liuxiang; instead, he addressed Jin Banhua, "Jin Gongzi, did you already guess that the previous Ying Wanli was an imposter?"

Not only did he not deny it, but he even switched back to his own voice, clearly indicating that he no longer bothered to hide his identity.

"Your methods are not at all novel," Jin Banhua laughed, "First, you use the real White Hunter to lower my guard, then you use a fake Ying Wanli to launch a sneak attack. I've read this scenario in storybooks at least eight times if not ten. How could I not be cautious?"

"And during the first auction, there might have been a mechanism in the box containing the old mountain ginseng, intending to lure us into attacking the dungeon and falling into a trap during the auction break." Jin Banhua counted on her fingers, "These methods are all written in storybooks."

Jin Banhua raised her head and asked Yuan Suiyun, "Did you learn these strategies from storybooks too?"

Yuan Suiyun fell silent.

Everyone in the darkness also fell silent.

Many had already made up their minds to buy more storybooks when they returned to the Central Plains, determined to study the tactics within.

At this moment, Yuan Suiyun no longer wanted to ask how they had discovered that Kumei Master and Gao Yanan were traitors. Instead, he asked, "But do those storybooks mention what you would do if Hu Tiehua and the others were in my hands?"

The White Hunter was real, and he was currently restrained and thrown aside.

However, Hu Tiehua, Zhang San, and Ying Wanli were still in Yuan Suiyun's grasp.

Jin Banhua didn't respond to Yuan Suiyun; instead, she directed her question to Chu Liuxiang, "Chu Liuxiang, you brought them in, and you let them go. What do you say we do now?"

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "I had planned to find you, and while I distracted him, you would rescue the others."

They had been led in by Jin Lingzhi, and were still captured, their fire sticks taken away. Although Chu Liuxiang had escaped, without the original Gou Zichang, he also lacked a fire stick to light the fine wine in the cave and illuminate the bat cave.

"And now?" Jin Banhua asked.

"Of course, it's time to capture the leader first," Chu Liuxiang smiled, "I'll assist Jin Xiong."

Jin Banhua raised her eyebrows, "So, you're pinning your hopes on me?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled, "Yuan Suiyun's biggest mistake was underestimating Jin Xiong."

At this moment, they were surrounded by pitch-darkness, with the sound of bats fluttering nearby. The numerous experts from Bat Island had already surrounded them, yet Jin Banhua and Chu Liuxiang remained calm and carefree, seemingly unconcerned about their perilous situation.

Hearing Chu Liuxiang's praise, Yuan Suiyun couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is so special about Jin Banhua?"

Chu Liuxiang replied nonchalantly, "He's not that special. He's just a wealthy young master from the capital, a master of both northern and southern martial arts, proficient in various sword techniques from all over the world, possessing divine skills and palm techniques, capable of blocking Shi Guan Yin's sword, and becoming acquainted with Jellyfish Yin Ji, who recognized him as her younger brother, making him the second palace master of the Divine Water Palace..."

"Ssss—"

In the darkness, gasps of astonishment filled the air.

The same words, when spoken by different people, had different effects.

When Jin Banhua boasted about himself, it was typical of a rich second-generation heir.

If Hu Tiehua had said it, it would have been drunken nonsense and mutual flattery among friends.

But when Chu Liuxiang personally spoke these words, everyone in the world would have to pay attention and take them seriously.

Yuan Suiyun remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Perhaps I did underestimate Jin Banhua, but even if Jellyfish Yin Ji were here, she wouldn't be able to return to the mainland alive."

"Yuan Suiyun, don't speak so confidently," Li Yuhuan shouted, "If we can escape from the Divine Water Palace, you won't be able to keep us trapped on Bat Island!"

"More importantly, you've made more than one mistake," Jin Banhua added.

"What mistake?" Yuan Suiyun asked.

"You shouldn't have brought Hu Tiehua and the others so close, and you definitely shouldn't have used the White Hunter as bait," Jin Banhua laughed, "Your hearing is indeed strong, but others' hearing might not be weak either!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Banhua had already disappeared from her original position.

Yuan Suiyun was slightly taken aback, then shouted, "Kill them!"

As soon as he gave the order, his men flew towards them.

However, he had underestimated the speed of Jin Banhua and Chu Liuxiang.

When Jin Banhua took action, the alert and agile Chu Liuxiang immediately followed, not helping Jin Banhua but instead blocking Yuan Suiyun.

Just as Yuan Suiyun made contact with Chu Liuxiang, the screams of his subordinates echoed in his ears.

By the third move of their fight, the screams had already ceased.

Yuan Suiyun was shocked beyond words.

The guards he had assigned to watch over Hu Tiehua and the others were no weaklings; they were top-notch experts in the martial world, even stronger in the darkness.

Yet, they couldn't even slow Jin Banhua down, and the person who had just raised their hand to kill Hu Tiehua upon hearing Yuan Suiyun's command didn't get a chance to strike, as Jin Banhua intercepted and killed them mid-action.

Jin Banhua's movements were so graceful and swift, her attacks so lightning-fast and ruthless, that she truly surpassed Chu Liuxiang!

In the instant the screams stopped, Yuan Suiyun had already broken contact with Chu Liuxiang.

His right fist moved in a strange, zombie-like manner, catching Chu Liuxiang off guard. Then, with a sweeping motion of his wide sleeves, Chu Liuxiang had no choice but to lean back to dodge.

The next moment, Yuan Suiyun retreated into the boundless darkness like a giant bat, disappearing without a trace.

"He's quite decisive," Jin Banhua laughed, "If he had hesitated for just one breath, he wouldn't have been able to escape."

Chu Liuxiang rubbed his nose, "The Yan family's Zombie Fist and Wudang's Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeve are indeed well-known."

"Phew—" Hu Tiehua breathed heavily, "I almost suffocated. That Wang Ba Jiaozi, I thought he was a good person!"

"Among all of us on this ship, only you thought he was a good person," Zhang San's voice echoed, "Is your brain only filled with thoughts of alcohol? Anyone who offers you a drink is a good person?"

"Hmph! Who do you think you are?" Hu Tiehua snorted, "Jin Xiong said that my mind isn't just filled with alcohol! Besides, I just saved your life!"

Zhang San smirked, "I'd rather be cut by them than be crushed by your two-hundred-plus-pound body."

"Thank you, Jin Gongzi," Ying Wanli's voice finally sounded, "How's the situation with the White Hunter?"

"Don't worry, although there are many people on Bat Island, Li Yuhuan and Yan Dianhong are formidable!" Jin Banhua laughed, "Listen, the White Hunter should have been rescued."

As Jin Banhua took action, Li Yuhuan and the others acted simultaneously. The people from Bat Island rushed over, but they couldn't stop the Gods of War. Their formation was broken, and the White Hunter was rescued.
