Chapter 210: Chapter 138 Today’s Tasks_2

Even after all this, Su Mo didn’t need to exert much Inner Strength. By stabilizing the boat, the current naturally propelled it forward, maintaining speed as if shooting an arrow from a bowstring.

In just half an hour, Yang Xiaoyun warned:

“Up ahead is the territory controlled by the Jiaolong Association. We must be careful.”

Su Mo nodded. As he circulated his Inner Strength, the boat slowed down.

From a distance, under the cover of night, it appeared as if a string of lights connected the two banks above the water.

Using his enhanced eyesight, he saw that they were actually small boats.

They linked together in a line, cutting off the entire river.

“Chain Boat Barrier!”

Yang Xiaoyun observed from a distance, coldly snorting, “The Jiaolong Association really intends to let no one pass.”

“Chain Boat Barrier?”

Su Mo was somewhat puzzled.

“This is a tactic used by the great river thieves, similar to the so-called Iron Chains Cross the River. However, instead of chains, these are small boats linked together, connecting the two banks and blocking all passing boats.”

“What if a larger vessel forcefully charges through?”

“Such a vessel would naturally break through. However, beyond that lies the Water Fort of the Jiaolong Association.

If we break through here, there are more large boats downstream to stop us. The Flying Stone Hidden Weapons are already prepared, and they won’t even signal before attacking.

There are also water ghosts hidden beneath the waters, ready to bore into the boat’s hull and trap us.”

Yang Xiaoyun explained each point to Su Mo.

Su Mo was amazed, “This is indeed very different from the land-based routes.”

“But this is still the river.”

Yang Xiaoyun smiled, “On the ocean, there are even more tricks. However… those who use the Chain Boat Barrier tactic are few. In Jianghu, there is always a principle to leave a way out, for easier encounters in the future. The Chain Boat Barrier leaves no escape, so it is very seldom used unless under special circumstances.”

“But in this way, it makes things easier for us.”

Su Mo stimulated his Inner Strength beneath his feet, and within moments, they approached the line of small boats.

Some aboard were sleeping, others were keeping watch.

Occasionally, someone looked up and saw Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun approaching by boat.

For a moment, they could hardly believe their own eyes.

Regaining their senses, they immediately shouted:

“Stop where you are!”

However, the newcomers did not stop; instead, with a simple leap, Su Mo was airborne, reaching him in the blink of an eye, with a flick of his hand, the man was sent flying into the water with a splash.

Then one heard Su Mo laugh:

“Borrowing your boat!”

While he uttered the first word, the Dragon Roar Sword had already flown up behind him and landed in his palm. As the words fell, the sword light split in two directions. Two snapping sounds were heard.

The chains connected to the front and back of the small boat were instantly severed by the sword light.

The small boat naturally turned in the water and continued to drift downstream.

“Stop them!!!”

An angry shout arose, and the people on the surrounding boats got up, each grabbing hidden weapons to throw at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun.

Su Mo turned back, pulling Yang Xiaoyun behind him with a swing of his Longsword.

Cling, cling, cling, cling, cling!

The sky full of hidden weapons was stopped by the sword blade, followed by a flick of his sword light:

“Too ashamed to accept, returning them to you all!”

Whiz, whiz, whiz!

In an instant, the sky full of hidden weapons reversed direction, returning even faster and more furiously.

In no time, many were struck down and fell into the water.

Those few remaining on the boats who still wanted to act found that Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun’s boat had already gone far.

Immediately, one person pulled out a Fire Signal from his chest, struck it, and aimed it towards the sky.

A stream of fire shot up into the sky, suddenly exploding mid-air into a ferocious-looking Jiao Dragon.

“Black Flood Dragon transmitting a message.”

Yang Xiaoyun glanced at it and said to Su Mo, “The ones blocking our path are coming.”

“Actually, it’s quite beautiful.”

Su Mo, on the other hand, watched the fireworks in the sky somewhat happily, and said to Yang Xiaoyun, “This world has no shortage of skilled craftsmen, able to make these fireworks look so stunning.”

“Huh?”

Yang Xiaoyun was momentarily puzzled as she had never associated such things with being beautiful.

But she knew whenever these were launched, trouble was certain.

Hearing Su Mo’s comment, she looked more closely. Indeed, they were magnificent, but they were fleeting, and soon the night returned to its peaceful state.

“It’s beautiful indeed, but it lasted too short a time.”

Yang Xiaoyun gently shook her head.

“The ephemeral beauty is also rare, so it’s all the more precious.”

Yang Xiaoyun, however, had a different view: “A fleeting moment will only yield regret. Only when held in the palm, enduring steadily, does it become truly Peaceful.”

Su Mo blinked, tilting his head as he watched Yang Xiaoyun.

Puzzled, Yang Xiaoyun touched her face, “What is it?”

“Nothing, just felt that what you said was quite true.”

“??”

Yang Xiaoyun was momentarily baffled. When she looked back, she saw three large boats bearing down from afar.

The boats displayed sails with Black Flood Dragon emblems painted on them.

Someone from one of the boats shouted:

“Who is the friend ahead on this path?”

The voice, powered by Inner Strength, spread far across the river surface.

Su Mo laughed heartily, his voice resounding through the area:

“I’ve long heard of the renown of the Jiaolong Association and specially came to pay a visit today. May I ask if Master Zhuge is aboard?”

There was a moment of silence on the opposite boat.

After a while, a voice came back:

“Our Master is not here due to other matters. May I know who speaks, so we may know your name?”
