Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 159 Titans Descend vs. Feathers of the Underworld Serpent
"Boy, stop talking nonsense!"

"This is the territory of the Pharaoh. No matter how arrogant you are, how dare you compete with a powerful force in terms of resources? Even if you are an S-class Awakener, you must pay the price today."

Jia Fang took the initiative to make a harsh statement.

But in his heart, he began to plan how to retreat.

In a single direct confrontation, he confirmed that Shi Ming was also an S-rank Awakened! Even more terrifying was the pressure emanating from Shi Ming's body, which made his Nether Serpent bloodline tremble...

A venomous snake that is skilled at hunting will not put itself in danger.

There is no shame in retreating.

But just as he was about to use the skill "Nether Serpent's Feather" to leave, he found that his greatest reliance could no longer be mobilized even a fraction of its power. The eighteen pairs of oily wings that had grown on his back withered and slowly scattered as his power dissipated.

It's as if it's been sealed away.

???

Before he could even think, he saw a fist the size of a sandbag, covered in chain patterns, come crashing down on his face. The punch wasn't ten times its normal strength, but it was still incredibly powerful. His body was sent flying again, crashing heavily into the mast of the Dayun.

"Those who come to my territory willingly will be beaten, and I will grant their wish."

You're sending someone to their death from afar, aren't you?
Jia Fang got up, raised his head, and his face was already stained with the marks of the chains of order.

The mark slowly spread.

As Shi Ming, his body covered in intricate chains, approached, he resembled a great demon from the abyss. With each step, Jia Fang could hear the heavy creaking of the chains.

"Brother Shi,"

"There's no need to go to such extremes. You are free to leave today, and we will not pursue the matter of damaging the Pharaoh."

He outwardly calmed Shi Ming down, but inwardly he was cursing—

Damn it, are all the Awakened ones he brought with him from the Pharaoh dead? Seven people, and not a single one of them came out to fight alongside him. All they did was fire artillery from a distance. Didn't you see that all those cannons were intercepted by his crew? In this situation, he's alone deep in enemy territory, and he's lost his biggest asset. Whether he can retreat safely is another matter entirely!

Right now, all we can do is wag our tails and beg for mercy!
"No pursuit?"

"You weren't planning to ambush me and eat my heart, were you? What, you don't want it anymore?!"

Shi Ming's black pupils reflected layers upon layers of rusted chains.

The killing intent surged completely under the influence of the Titan's bloodline.

This steel-like, icy coldness sent a shiver down Jia Fang's spine.

escape!
Jia Fang understood when he could publicly display his divine power and raise the banner of fighting for the Pharaoh, and when he should retreat tactically to preserve his strength and protect everyone in front of him. At this moment, his skills inexplicably failed, while the enemy in front of him was menacingly imposing.

We definitely can't win a fight.

Then let's retreat.

Although it would be a bit shameful to retreat with so many people watching, he could still tell which was more important, face or life!

As for Ptolemy's side?
Humph,
If he's not satisfied, let him deal with it himself! The Pharaoh was wrecked like that; even if we take him down today, we can't avoid being punished for dereliction of duty. It's better to just give up now and avoid unnecessary trouble.

With a quick sidestep, Jia Fang retreated to the side of the Dayun ship, and with a sudden burst of strength in his legs, he was about to leave.

He still has several A-level skills at his disposal, but he has no will to fight left!

Want to escape?
The Grand Canal is not a place where you can come and go as you please.
Shi Ming caught up quickly and appeared in front of Jia Fang in the blink of an eye. He swept out with his right leg, and Jia Fang, who had already escaped to the edge of the Dayun, was kicked back by him. This went back and forth, like a football match in which one person was fighting with both hands.

And Jia Fang is that ball.

"When you shake hands with me, use the Feather of the Underworld Serpent!"

"On the high seas, cursed mummies are scattered!"

"They also want to take advantage of the sea monster feast to attack other awakened beings!"

"Today, you still want to escape?" Shi Ming's voice was unusually hoarse, but to Jia Fang's ears it sounded like the voice of a demon from hell. His skills were sealed, but his physical attributes and strength were still there. However, Shi Ming in the "Chain of Order" state did not have the terrifying attack power of "Myriad Calamities Thunder Body". This battle was like a dull knife cutting flesh, making Jia Fang extremely frustrated.

The Pharaoh was surrounded by eight Awakened beings, including Nia, but none of them dared to come forward to help. Moreover, they were also within the space of the Order Chains, a group control skill.

They kept firing artillery shells and firearms!
Nia greatly admired the artistry of the battle, her eyes glued to it. The figure of the stone inscription on the obelisk that day was so dazzling that she could hardly look directly at many details of the battle. But today's battle allowed her to see every detail and study it carefully.

"When will I be able to be that powerful?"

she thought.

As Abu smelled the strong metallic odor in the air, he pondered how to properly handle the aftermath of this incident.

Without Shi Ming, they would have died on the obelisk that day. Today's events were caused by Jia Fang's aggressive behavior. However, they still need to carefully plan how to absolve themselves of responsibility for the obelisk and avoid bringing future conflicts upon themselves.

After thinking for a moment, he had an idea.

As for the others...

They looked at each other, none of them daring to step forward and join the battle.

Jia Fang groaned in despair. He could feel his body beginning to stiffen, and he feared that it wouldn't be long before he completely lost his mobility. Given the boy's ruthlessness, he would surely die here.

The Dayun has started roaring again, preparing to leave this place.

Shi Ming is about to finish his battle performance.

He punched Jia Fang squarely in the abdomen. Jia Fang felt a sweet sensation in his chest, and his body was thrown into the air again. The chains on his body were now completely linked together, and the Order Chains of Imprisonment were activated. He was like a pig or sheep tightly bound by ropes, unable to move at all.

"If I kill you, the innocent one entangled by the Feather of the Nether Serpent, will I be freed from the curse?"

Jia Fang opened his mouth, preparing to beg for mercy.

But it could no longer make a sound.

Shi Ming's eyes were icy cold, carrying a chill from hell.
Jia Fang felt an unimaginable chill seep into his body, making his blood almost freeze. The Nether Serpent was a cold-blooded creature, but at this moment he felt real coldness, and snow-white frost flowers formed on his eyebrows.

His blood rushed to his head, and he took off again.

The next second, it landed heavily on the Pharaoh, its fate unknown.

Shi Ming stood at the bow of the ship, and the Dayun slowly set sail. Amidst the Pharaoh's "suppression" and the rain of cannonballs, it moved freely as if it were in an empty field.

One man held the pass, and no one dared to stop him.

……

……

……

Singh and Eliza had just recovered from the shock, their eyes filled with worry and unease.

They are now being placed in a treatment room by Ptolemy, undergoing a month-long curse-removal service on the Pharaoh. This has come at the cost of almost a decade's worth of accumulated wealth, as well as a great favor from Shiva.

Fortunately, payments are settled weekly.

But at that moment, Singh and the others were astonished to find that all the black scales and cracks on their chests had vanished without a trace, and the heavy shackles and unbearable pain that had been clinging to their bodies had also disappeared.

The group looked at each other, all beaming with joy.

"Thank you, Shiva!"

"Thank you, Brahma!"

"Thank you, Vishnu!"
