Chapter 83 - Singing in the Storm

"On the vast sea, dark clouds swirled in the strong winds. Between the dark clouds and the sea, the swallow is like a black lightning, flying haughtily... Suddenly, he heard that there was an immortal mountain on the sea. The mountain was in the middle of nothingness. "The pavilion is as beautiful as the clouds, and there are many fairies amongst them …"

"Let the tempest come strike harder... To try and stop me, Xiao Letian, you devious god, that's just a dream … "Fighting against the heavens is a boundless pleasure, but fighting against others is a boundless pleasure. Your father is going to have a battle with this storm today …"

"There has never been a savior, nor has there been an Immortal Emperor … Ready to Sing... There has never been a savior … "

The azure sea water churned up a huge wave over ten meters high, rolling and smashing against the sea. White foam was forced deep into the sea amidst the thunderous roar. The black clouds in the sky were like mountains, pressing down on the sea and turning the day into night. The storm in the sky could no longer be called falling down, but falling over.

In the distance, a water dragon was wreaking havoc. The lightning behind the tornado was releasing light while the rolling thunder was actually unable to match the sound of the crashing waves. In that moment, the power of the storm dominated the entire space.

In the huge waves that covered the sky, a large wooden sailboat was bobbing up and down. Sometimes, the huge waves would carry it to a height of more than ten meters in the air, and it would then violently smash back into the sea. Sometimes, the whole ship would even drill into the huge waves, and the seawater would sweep everything on the deck.

This was a storm that was common in the Pacific Ocean. This ocean, known as the Pacific Ocean, was actually not very peaceful. Every year, a tornado would engulf countless merchant ships on the sea and destroy the lives and property of countless coastal people. This was the moment that all navigators feared the most. No matter how advanced their navigation skills were, they had no other way to deal with this kind of hurricane apart from resisting it head on.

But today, on the pitch-black sea, on this life-threatening wooden sail, waves of faint roars pierced the sound of the storm, arrogantly expressing their disdain towards the heaven and earth.

It was Xiao Letian, the arrogant transcender, who had actually tied himself to the main mast and was shouting hysterically in the face of the monstrous white waves. He even took out the international song that had yet to come out and started singing it. In the middle, there was also's disrespect to the divine gods that filled the sky.

"Dragon King, Dragon King, if you have the ability, appear and eat me …" "Poseidon, where is your trident? Let me see the lightning bolt on it …"

Xiao Letian was going crazy, while the rest of the people on the deck were desperately saving the boat. Captain Ke Xijia's legs were nailed to the deck, one hand firmly holding onto the rope, while the other was commanding the sailors to get off the boat.

"Cut the ropes and abandon this sail immediately …" "It will drag us to hell, brave children. Go after it, whoever completes this mission will be rewarded with 1000 gold coins …" Before he could finish his sentence, a white wave smashed onto his body, preventing him from speaking any further.

What Ke Xijia said was not wrong, if they were not able to get off the sail in time within the storm of the ocean, then the fierce winds would easily carry the sailboat and swirl around in the ocean or even overturn it. Right now, all of the main and secondary sails on Luck had been rolled up. Only one of the secondary sails on the highest mast was swaying in the wind.

The fluttering canvas fluttered in the air like a flag. The long rope whipped the air in disorder, creating popping sounds. Two sailors had already been pulled out of the sea by the rope.

"This won't do, captain. The wind is too strong, we can't even get close …"

"The power of the rope is too great, we have no way to dodge it …"

More than ten sailors were tightly holding onto the mast. They were only one step away from reaching the canvas, but this step was the distance between life and death.

"What should we do? "Who told me what to do!?" At this moment, a bell-like voice rang out in everyone's ears, but none of the foreign sailors present could understand what he was saying.

"Dragon Lord... I'm here. Can you rush to the main mast and cut off that piece of cloth that was fluttering in the air and throw it into the sea … " Xiao Letian shouted.

"Military advisor!" "Why did you run onto the deck? We couldn't find you even after searching all over the cabin …" After saying that, Xiang Shaolong wanted to untie the rope, but he was stopped by Xiao Letian: "Dragon Lord, don't untie it. Don't look at me as I rain, but I am very safe now …" "Hurry up and tear this rag to shreds. That way, I'll be even safer …"

Xiang Shaolong knew that once Xiao Letian's temper rose, it would be hard to say. Thus, he could only let go of the Military Advisor and took out a bright dagger from his bosom to bite on it.

The foreign sailors were stunned. A citizen who had never been to sea was actually faster and more reliable than them when he climbed up the mast.

How could they have known that when Xiang Shaolong poured his inner strength into his hands, he would be able to create a faint handprint by grabbing onto the wooden mast.

Dragon Lord slowly climbed onto the mast, and quickly approached the tattered canvas that fluttered in the wind. At this time, half of the rope was filled with the crackling sound of rain water in the air. If this were to land on someone's body, they would definitely fly straight into the sea. Xiang Shaolong lowered his head to look at the azure colored seawater, then raised his head to look at the pitch-black sky.

"No …" Captain Ke Xijia and the sailors on the deck were shocked. They didn't understand why Scholar Xiao's bodyguard would commit suicide. But before they could finish shouting, an unbelievable scene appeared. Xiang Shaolong was as light as a swallow as he grabbed onto the rope in the air.

At this time, it was as if Xiang Shaolong had lost his weight, and was like a kite being pulled by the rope as he flew around in the sky. Immediately after, he exerted force through his wrist, causing the rope to straighten out, and with a shake of his hand, he borrowed the momentum of the Dragon Lord to fly straight towards the connection between the rope and the mast.

The blade flashed, and the banner like torn canvas flew into the vast ocean, while the Dragon Lord fell like a kite with its string cut.

"Hero!" Be careful … Hot tears flowed uncontrollably from their excitement. They did not expect that this citizen of Qing would sacrifice his own life for the safety of the ship's crew.

However, before their tears could even reach their jaws, Dragon Lord suddenly shook his left hand, and half of the rope lashed out like a snake.

Looking at Xiang Shaolong who was as nimble as an ape, they did not know how to describe it anymore. However, these old sailors all knew that the safety factor of the merchant ship had increased greatly.

Dragon Lord braved the storm and walked to Xiao Letian's side as he roared loudly, "Mr. Xiao … "Let's enter the cabin …" But Xiao Letian shook his head with all his might, and shouted loudly beside the Dragon Lord's ears, "I'm not going back … Do you know … Scientists have calculated that in a storm, you tie yourself to a mast... "The chances of survival are much higher …"

He did not know what kind of nonsense Xiao Letian had heard in his previous life. In any case, he remembered that a documentary had once said that when a marine disaster occurred and the wooden sailboat was about to break down, the mast was one of the easiest things to escape with. On the contrary, if people were hiding in their cabins, once the water was poured in, many people would drown before they could even swim out.

"Dragon Lord, do you know? "If this ship really falls apart, we'll just take a bath and this big log will immediately take us into the air. As long as we can breathe, we can survive …"

The Dragon Lord had also been knocked unconscious by the storm. In addition, he had always treated Xiao Letian as a great scholar who knew everything, so he didn't doubt his lies at all. "Fine, I'll go notify the brothers in the ship's cabin and let them rain on the deck …"

Not long after, Captain Ke Xijia blankly watched as dozens of his subordinates drilled out and tied themselves onto the mast or the bucket one by one. Some of them even tied themselves onto the sides of the deck.

"The advisor is there, we're there …" Xiang Shaolong, Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun, Luo Huo … These most loyal subordinates were actually all present on the Luck ship, and one of them was even a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion. This person was extremely unfamiliar, but everyone around him, including Xiao Letian, respected him greatly.

"Madman, these are all a group of madmen …" Captain Ke Xijia did not have time to catch wind with them. Seeing that the mast was safe, he turned his head and went back into the captain's room.

Until now, Lucky could only rely on its luck, the wooden scissor boat floated in the middle of the ocean waves, helplessly drifting with the waves. The people all around the ship were praying to the gods in their hearts, hoping to avoid this disaster.

The most difficult moment had finally passed. After an hour, Xiao Letian who was singing the "International Songs" suddenly found that at the end of his line of sight, there was a ray of light that had entered his sight. It was the end of the storm, the edge of the entire storm cloud. The sun finally appeared again.

"The sun always shines after a storm, and there is a clear sky above the dark clouds …" "The sun always shines after the storm, please believe in the rainbow …" Xiao Letian finally used his sound wave weapon to defeat the Sea God and Evil Dragon, who were both capable of committing all sorts of crimes.

In fact, when Xiao Letian remembered about this storm, he said to himself with incomparable self-deprecation, "I was scared back then. Luckily the sky was full of rain and I was wet, otherwise you would have seen me peeing in my pants, my courage would have been boosted by singing, now it seems like you guys really didn't lie to me …"

The surface of the sea finally began to calm down. At this time, the sea was extraordinarily beautiful, with only small broken waves, and the sky above was half black and half bright, a rainbow ran across the horizon, and countless seagulls were flying at the bright end. The shoal of fish on the sea was extremely active due to the abundant oxygen brought by the storm.

"Master Shi, what are you looking at?" After drinking two mouthfuls of strong alcohol, Xiao Letian walked to the bow of the ship and stood beside the middle-aged man with the sallow face.

"I was thinking that our trip to Ryukyu this time around might turn out to be a huge storm. I was wondering if it could be like your strange song, where you could see rainbows after the storm!" The moment the waxy yellow faced man spoke, she spoke with a voice that was extremely familiar. It was actually the disguised Shi Dakai, our King Yi's highness.

Xiao Letian laughed and took two deep breaths: "Don't worry Master Shi, right now Ryukyu is in a vacuum of power, our enemies only have one Samoan, as long as we intimidate them, the Ryukyu will not be able to escape from our grasp …"

Just at this time, the lookout hand suddenly shouted out in French, "There is a sunken ship in front, and a sunken ship a mile ahead!" Hearing that, Captain Ke Xijia rushed to the bow of the ship and pulled out his binoculars to take a look.

"Prepare the boat, let's go save them …"
