On this day, the travelers who crossed the Daoxuan Mountain and entered the great sea route all expressed that they felt worse than eating sh * t!
They couldn't understand why there were so many naval forces not far from the entrance of this great sea route!
Navy ships with the symbol of 'justice' patrolled the area. If one looked from the sky, they would find that there were more than 10 warships here!
In fact, this number was still increasing!
Their patrol route formed a huge circle, and they were carefully searching the area!
"I'll say it again, the opponent is a pirate with a bounty of 500 million. Once you find any traces of him, retreat immediately. I repeat, retreat immediately!”
The captains of every warship were emphasizing this to their subordinates. This was also what the Admiral of the Sengoku Republic had repeatedly emphasized to them when they received orders from the naval headquarters.
In the middle of this encirclement, a tall naval general was in the middle.
He was wearing a strange helmet with a two-headed dragon engraved on it. The medal hanging on the navy flag and the six strands of hair as thick as arms behind him silently explained his identity.
Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Ghost Spider!
The Eight Blade Style swordsman who used one of the Six Forms of the Navy, Life Return, to control his hair like an arm. He was also one of the strongest Vice Admiral!
At this moment, he was looking at the unrecognizable naval warship in front of him, and his already fierce face became even gloomier!
"I didn't expect you to be killed in such a short time! Smog." In front of him, the man wrapped in white gauze was Smoggy!
Seeing the Ghost Spider's cold and stern eyes without any warmth, and hearing his provocative and belittling words, Smoggy could not help but grit his teeth.
However, it was rare that he, who had always been hot-tempered, did not retort.
He just looked at the wounded navy soldiers who were being transported out of the warship that he was originally on. He gritted his teeth even harder and made a cracking sound.
Even though he already knew that he was no match for him, he was still a little dejected after facing the fact that he had made up his mind to fight to the death but was easily dealt with by the other party.
"Too strong!" Recalling the scene just now, Smoggy still had lingering fears.
When he truly exchanged blows with Qing Lin, only then did he discover just how enormous the power contained within that punch was.
When the extremely compressed wind came into contact with him, Smoggy was sent flying.
If he wasn't a Natural Ability user, he would have undoubtedly died in the extremely chaotic storm!
In fact, other than the top part that was embedded with the Sea Tower Stone, the lower part of his weapon, Ten Hands, was also completely shattered.
After sending him flying, the aftershock of the punch did not stop. The wind pressure that swept over directly cut off the command post on the upper part of the warship from the middle. It also almost reduced the gap between the deck and the hull of the warship by half.
After making such an attack, Qing Lin looked at Smoggy, who was forced to turn into an elemental form due to his body being torn apart, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Then, just as a bad feeling rose in Smoggy's heart, Qing Lin instantly appeared in front of him and said a sentence.
"Hmm…Smoggy, right?" Qing Lin's smiling expression seemed to still be vivid in his mind.
"I can't deny that the Nature Element is indeed very powerful. It allows you to take my attack even when there is such a huge difference in strength.”
"But…"
"In the face of such an outstanding domineering user, it's foolish of you to take the initiative to turn your entire body into an elemental essence and continue doing so for so long!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Smoggy clearly noticed that the young man's expression had become cold and serious!
It was like the bright moon hanging high in the sky, mocking the ignorance of the mortal world.
Then…Smoggy did not receive the second punch!
"I have no interest in killing you like this. I hope that the next time I see you…you can become stronger!”
Thinking back to the young man's words that he had vaguely heard before he fainted, Smogue clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" To the proud and righteous Smoggy, Qing Lin's actions were undoubtedly a blatant humiliation.
What made him feel the most helpless was that he could not retaliate against such a humiliating act!
The difference in strength…was too great!
The Ghost Spider clearly observed Smoggy's slightly pained expression and felt a little strange.
He had a certain level of understanding towards Qing Lin and Smogue.
As one of the five lieutenant generals who had participated in the Demon Slayer Order five years ago, although the Ghost Spider hadn't met him because it wasn't in charge of the area where Azure Forest was, it didn't affect his judgment of Azure Forest's strength.
'This is a powerhouse who can rival Sakasugi and Kuzan!'This was his understanding of the Azure Forest back then.
This was already a terrifying realization. After all, Sakasugi and Kuzan had not been sent out on missions recently.
Because they were about to be promoted to Great Generals!
However, from the looks of it now, there was clearly a mistake in this understanding.
As one of the most outstanding members of the 42nd batch of soldiers who had been trained by Zefa, Smogg undoubtedly had outstanding strength.
The fruit of the Nature Element was paired with the unique physical training intensity of the navy, and there was even the Hai Lou Stone weapon, Ten Hands.
However, with such combat strength, he couldn't even complete a mission like 'stalling for time'!
That's right, stall for time!
After learning that the pirates that Smogue encountered were Qing Lin and Qing Lin, Sengoku immediately gave Smogue the relevant instructions to stall for time.
However, when he gave the order, he had already lost contact with Smoggy.
At this moment, the surrounding navy was the closest to this location. They were all dispatched by the Warring States Period after that.
As the Spider Demon was on a mission nearby, he was temporarily appointed by the Sengoku Kingdom as the commander.
However, even though his execution was high enough and the Spider Demon's reaction was fast enough, he had already ordered all the warships to spread out and conduct a thorough search on the way here. He had also stopped a portion of the warships to watch the nearby waters.
It could be said that under his arrangements, as long as Qing Lin could be stalled by Smoggy for a short while, then he would at least be able to find traces of Qing Lin.
At that time, as the representative of the Hawk Faction in the navy, the Spider Demon would definitely give the order to pursue them regardless of the consequences!
'Even if I have to use my life to fill it, I have to keep him!'This was what the Spider Demon had been thinking at the time. Since such a dangerous guy had not entered the New World, he had to be killed before the navy could restrict him!
However, all these preparations were meaningless.
The small two-masted sailboat had long disappeared from the battle between Smoggy and Qing Lin. Only a warship that had been completely destroyed was left, and Smoggy, who had been unconscious for a long time, was on the warship!
The 'no discovery' reports from the surrounding warships also indirectly explained one thing...
" That guy…How much stronger has he become after Ohara?'
"So, why did you say that to him? That's not your style." At this moment, hundreds of nautical miles away from the area where the navy was searching, Altoria was sitting at the bow of the ship and asking Qing Lin a question.
Hearing Altoria's question, Qing Lin replied casually while controlling the rudder,""Yeah…because I liked him in the original novel. If he can become stronger, he might become more interesting in the future.”
He did not hide the fact that he was in the original novel anymore. He had already explained his identity to Altolia, and the Dream King did not seem to care about it. She had a strong will, and she had no problem with her own existence. Therefore, she did not care even if she knew that she was just a fictional character in the world of the Green Forest.
'If the king even doubts the meaning of his own existence, then what can he rely on to bear the respect and sacrifice of his subjects?'
"If you do this, you have to be careful of being counterattacked by others in the future. You have to know that there are no evil dragons that can't be defeated, only heroes who don't work hard enough!”Hearing Qing Lin's " willful " answer, Altolia sounded a little mischievous.
Qing Lin didn't care about Altoria's teasing at all, although he knew that Smogg had all the necessary conditions to become a powerhouse. It had a powerful fruit ability, a unique body, a powerful background, a firm will, and an ideal that was willing to give up his life for it.
But even so, Qing Lin still had sufficient confidence!
'There is no evil dragon that cannot be defeated, only a hero who does not work hard enough' was indeed not too wrong, but…
"I…am an evil dragon that works harder than a hero!”Qing Lin's eyes were filled with smiles.
