Chapter 1328: Chapter 1317: Riding the Waves
“Little girl, you must have been worried about me, so you stood by the shore waiting.”
Thinking of this, Ning Fan leaped up like an eagle.
Seeing this scene, Tian Wu on the deck hurriedly shouted, “Mr. Ning, where are you going?”
“I’ll go ahead, you guys follow slowly.”
Knowing that Xu Xiaoqing was anxiously waiting for his return, Ning Fan naturally didn’t have the patience to wait for the ship to slowly dock.
Walking on air, as an Aerial Mastery stage expert, he leaped ten meters, aided by the sea wind. When he landed on the sea surface, he was far ahead of the ship.
This aerial distance reached an astonishing twenty meters.
Watching Ning Fan walk on the sea as if on solid ground, a trace of shock flashed in Tian Wu’s eyes, and his gaze instinctively turned to Hai Boding’s body.
“Mr. Ning is truly the savior of the Celestial Clan.”
As he was filled with emotion, Tian Wu suddenly widened his eyes, his face flushed with excitement as he shouted loudly, “Tian Lin, quickly… come out.”
“I’m still steering the ship.”
“Don’t worry about it. Come out and see the Immortal.”
“Where’s this Immortal?”
The ship stopped, and Tian Lin scratched his head, muttering in confusion, “Where’s the Immortal?”
Following Tian Wu’s gaze, Tian Lin’s jaw dropped, forgetting his grumbling words, and he too looked ahead in stunned amazement.
At the dock, watching Ning Fan moving swiftly, Tian Xuan’s pupils contracted and his body trembled lightly, as he sighed deeply,
“In ancient times, there was Bodhidharma crossing the river with a single reed. Now there’s Ning Fan skimming over the waves. Mr. Ning is truly a godly figure!”
Xu Xiaoqing tilted her head in confusion, “Great Elder, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
Tian Xuan smiled slightly, respectfully saying, “Miss, you’ll soon find out.”
As an ordinary person, Xu Xiaoqing naturally didn’t have the keen eyesight that a Martial Cultivator possessed.
“Really?”
Xu Xiaoqing turned back in confusion, squinting as she looked at the distant shadow.
When the outline of the shadow became clear, Xu Xiaoqing exclaimed in disbelief, “My heavens! Great Elder, am I seeing this right?”
Tian Xuan shook his head slightly with a meaningful smile, saying, “Miss, you are not mistaken. This is the wonder of a cultivator. Common people may mistake it for a divine miracle, but for…”
The rest of the words, Xu Xiaoqing could no longer hear, she only needed to know that everything before her was not an illusion.
At this moment, all that was left in Xu Xiaoqing’s eyes was that majestic figure, and her mind was fixed at this moment.
In the evening, the sea, which had been bustling all day, seemed a bit tired, quietly lurking, turning this sea area into a mirror-like flatland.
But it wasn’t long before the tranquility of this world was instantly shattered.
Seemingly unwilling to fall into slumber, a part of the sea seemed to come alive, gently writhing, with ripples appearing on the mirror-like sea surface.
The seawater seemed to be influenced by some power, slowly rising into the air at a speed visible to the naked eye, brewing a huge wave.
The waves grew higher and higher, and when they reached ten meters, the giant wave was fully formed, spanning vast distances like a massive wall.
Behind this enormous wall, rows of waves surged, pushing forward and forming a rolling tide.
Each wave, as it leaped to its highest point, was fused by the second approaching giant wave.
Layers of waves, pushing and surging, carrying the momentum of a cataclysmic force, slowly approached the coastline.
The rolling sound of the waves surged like thousands of troops and horses, emitting earth-shattering explosions.
Its force was overwhelming, unstoppable, enough to flatten all existence.
The giant waves rose and fell, intermingling, displaying nature’s marvelous transformative spectacle.
Yet the one constant was the man at the wave’s pinnacle.
With the force of tens of thousands of tons, or perhaps millions, the tide could not shake the silhouette of that man.
The boundless waves, the muddy waves filled the sky, were like a tamed child, gently lifting the man high.
When the last rays of sunset fell, under the golden glow, illuminated by the blood-red evening sun,
the man riding the waves appeared to be wearing a golden battle armor, draped in a blood-stained cloak, like a golden armored War God.
That radiant figure further brought this dark world where the sea met the sky back to light.
Taking advantage of the fleeting light, as she saw the gradually clear facial features, Xu Xiaoqing’s heart pounded fiercely, like the rumblings of a war drum.
“Ning… Ning Fan!”
Xu Xiaoqing widened her beautiful eyes, the reflection in her pupils gradually enlarging until nothing else could fit within them, as even her heart was completely filled.
The overwhelming sea waves blocked out the sky and covered the sun, like Mount Tai collapsing, only those present could feel the power of heaven and earth.
Seeing the ever-approaching waves, Tian Xuan’s expression changed, saying with urgency, “Miss, quickly go.”
Simultaneously, the accompanying Celestial Clan members couldn’t help but show fear, and their expressions were timid.
This force of heaven and earth was not something mere mortals could withstand.
Driven by an instinctual survival urge, many people subconsciously retreated.
This couldn’t be blamed on their cowardice. If it were ordinary people faced with this natural calamity, they would likely have been paralyzed with fear long ago.
The only one whose expression didn’t change was Xu Xiaoqing, as if she hadn’t heard Tian Xuan’s warning, she continued to stand motionless, raising her graceful head to gaze at the man on the giant wave.
In the backdrop of the giant ten-meter wave, humans appeared as insignificant as ants,
but in Xu Xiaoqing’s eyes, the giant wave was merely a shallow puddle, with only the grand figure of the man standing tall.
At this moment, Tian Xuan’s brow twitched intensely, stirred by the force of heaven, his True Qi within was restless and unsettled.
It was a survival instinct, continually urging him to quickly escape from here.
“Just wait one second. Whether the young lady is willing or not, I must take her away.”
The thought flashed through his mind in less than a second, and Tian Xuan’s brow finally calmed.
The vision of Mount Tai collapsing did not materialize, as the enormous waves continued to recede, their height gradually diminishing.
Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters…
When there was less than one meter remaining, the waves were level with the dock’s edge.
At this moment, Ning Fan stepped onto the dock with the push of the waves.
As he stepped on, the waves instantly merged back into the sea, and the world returned to tranquility.
Looking at the group who were petrified, their expressions panic-stricken, especially noticing the astonishment in their eyes, Ning Fan, scratching his head, said bewilderedly, “What’s wrong with you all? Am I that frightening?”
Among the group, Tian Xuan, with the highest cultivation, quickly composed himself, “Mr. Ning, do you really not know?”
“Know what?”
Ning Fan looked innocent, he truly didn’t know.
To return to shore quickly, Ning Fan had merely used the power of the tide, transforming the giant wave into a conveyor belt.
