Chapter 691: Champion Carol
The person who defeated all the boxers and became the champion was the boxing champion of this year's underground boxing competition. Not only would he have the honor of the boxing champion, but he could also enjoy many privileges. It was almost the same as being the boss in the port.
Today was the opening day of the underground boxing competition. Not only did the city set off fireworks, it also advertised with great fanfare. The audience who came to watch the competition was endless. People discussed which boxer would become this year's boxing champion. In this city where fists were respected, the boxing champion was the god in people's hearts. He was the symbol of courage and strength.
After night fell, the middle-aged man from the video store closed the door and came here. This was a grand occasion that belonged to the city, so as a local, he naturally had to come and watch the fun. However, he came late, so he could only sit in the outermost row of the stands and could barely see the situation in the competition venue.
To Xie Jiuhan's surprise, the place of the King of Fighters Bar was not big, but the underground boxing ground below was very vast. There were a total of three octagonal cages. There were two smaller ones at the side and one larger one in the middle. The entire underground boxing ground was dimly lit, and the air was filled with the smell of strong wine and blood. Many audiences placed their bets on the boxer they thought highly of. If they were lucky to win, they could earn a small sum.
Amidst a wave of passionate music, a host dressed exaggeratedly and with a lightning hairstyle walked up to the largest octagonal cage in the middle. "Dear viewers, welcome to the annual underground boxing competition. I'm the host of this year's competition, Emma. The audience who came to watch the competition today is in for a treat. The organizers just informed me that an expert has come to the competition tonight. He has entered the finals with a record of 20 wins and has obtained the qualifications to challenge the previous boxing champion, Carol. If he can succeed in the challenge tonight, he will become the only youngest boxing champion with a complete victory in the history of the underground boxing competition."
Speaking up to this point, the host deliberately paused for a moment and changed the topic. "But as everyone knows, the previous boxing champion, Carol, has already won the underground boxing championship three times in a row. He is also the boxing champion that everyone thinks the most highly of. He is also the first boxer in the history of the underground boxing competition to win three consecutive championships. His strength is unquestionable. Let's wait and see if Carol can continue to defend his championship tonight!"
With that, the host introduced some of the data of the two boxers again. Then, the competition started under his passionate encouragement. The audience also showed respect for the host. The entire underground was filled with cheers and whistles.
Amidst the cheers of the tens of thousands of audience, a boxer who was two meters tall and had bulging muscles all over his body walked out of the passageway towards the central octagon cage. This person was like a small mountain moving when he walked. He was also carrying three gold-plated belts on his shoulders. Those were the belts of the champion of the underground boxing competition, symbols of strength and honor. Every time he appeared in a competition, the man would take out these three gold belts to show off.
Unlike regular boxing competitions on the ground, the underground boxing competition did not make any rules for the boxer's attire as long as he did not have any sharp weapons on him. Therefore, every boxer who participated in the competition had their own characteristics. For example, the boxing king, Carol. He liked to have dreadlocks, and every dreadlock was a different color. Moreover, he always wore a pair of sunglasses on his face. He did not look like he was here to box, but to show off.
Two large spotlights shone on Carol. Carol held the three championship belts high in one hand and walked around the octagonal cage with a cool expression on his face. It was obvious that he was confident in himself judging from his relaxed expression. He had won three championships in a row, so he should be confident.
"Carol! Carol!" When they saw Carol and the three golden belts in his hands, the tens of thousands of audience members erupted, especially Carol's fans. They all shouted his name, and some even fainted from excitement.
"Carol, you're the best. I'm a fan!"
"I love you, Carol. I'm going to have your baby. You're the most attractive man in the world."
"Carol, you have a triple crown. You have to win the competition today. I bet all my money on you to win."
The audience went crazy. At this moment, Carol, who had won three consecutive championships, was the god in their hearts. He was the synonym for invincible in their hearts.
Chapter 692: Instant Kill
The audience shouted for a long time before they gradually quietened down at the host's request. Then, the host shouted into the microphone, "Next, let us welcome the dark horse of this year's underground boxing competition, Huge Whale!"
A black figure appeared in the passageway at the other end of the boxing field. Xie Jiuhan was wearing a black sports suit and a pair of white sneakers. His identity for this mission is Huge Whale, so he did not wear the golden mask of the King of Killers, Netherworld. However, he did not want to reveal his true appearance, so he could only get a mask at the last minute.
The mask was black with white jawbone lines drawn on it. It looked like a skeleton and gave off a terrifying feeling. Only a pair of black eyes were revealed above the skeleton mask.
Under the white light at the entrance of the passageway, the man's figure looked especially slender and perfect. Although his figure was very good and his muscles were very compatible with his body, he was completely incomparable to the defending champion, Carol. This was also why many people did not think highly of Huge Whale. After all, the two of them were not on the same level at all.
Xie Jiuhan and Carol looked at each other. Their eyes, which were filled with fighting spirit, collided violently in the air. Then, Xie Jiuhan stretched his neck and walked towards the central octagonal cage. When Xie Jiuhan stood in front of Carol, both of them exuded a suffocating aura.
The host stood between the two of them and said excitedly into the microphone, "Carol, do you still think you can win tonight? Can you beat this dark horse standing in front of you?"
Upon hearing this, Carol threw the three golden belts to the host and the host almost didn't catch them. The host didn't expect the three golden belts to be so heavy. Carol curled his lips and looked into Xie Jiuhan's eyes without blinking. He then bumped his hands in the air and his shoulders, which were filled with muscles, surged. He felt like the muscles on his body were alive. After showing off his muscles, he even made a neck-slitting gesture at Xie Jiuhan provocatively. "No one is my match. Regardless of whether he's a black horse or a white horse, they will all fall under my fists because I'm the true King of Boxing."
The host threw another question at Xie Jiuhan upon seeing Carol's confidence. "Huge Whale, as the biggest dark horse in this competition, you..."
"Cut the crap. Hurry up and start. I have more important things to do." Without waiting for the host to finish, Xie Jiuhan interrupted impatiently.
Unlike Carol's ostentatious appearance, Xie Jiuhan appeared relatively restrained and calm the entire time. He was like a saber with a sharp edge. The moment the saber was unsheathed, it was also the moment that blood would be seen.
The moment the host raised his arm and landed, he said, "I announce that the match between Huge Whale and Carol has officially begun."
The next second, Carol took a step back and assumed a counter-defense posture. His eyes behind the sunglasses were fixed on Xie Jiuhan, and his rough expression was filled with seriousness. This was the basic quality of a qualified boxer. No matter how much you despise your opponent, from the moment the competition started, you had to respect the other party and deal with the competition with all your might. There were many times when people failed miserably because of carelessness.
Although Carlo sounded domineering, he was very cautious in his heart when he faced Xie Jiuhan. After all, Xie Jiuhan was a ruthless person who had won twenty consecutive rounds. There was no lack of experts among the people who had been defeated by him. There were even people who were ranked second in the last boxing competition. Therefore, before this match started, Carlo had already thought of a countermeasure. He would counterattack later and wait for Xie Jiuhan to take the initiative to attack. That way, he could rely on his rich experience to find flaws.

"Carol, kill that brat!"
"Carol, you're the best. No one in the world can beat you."
"Carol, as long as you can win tonight's competition, I'll belong to you tonight. Ca..."
The competition started, and the host walked out of the octagonal cage. A highly anticipated battle between beasts began, and the audience shouted in the stands. Everyone was eager to see Carol punch Huge Whale.
However, what Carol did not expect was that Xie Jiuhan's footsteps were too ghostly. He only felt his vision blur and a punch was already in front of his face. Carol was shocked and could only barely block with his arms. He thought that he would only be smashed once. He did not expect that Xie Jiuhan's seemingly ordinary punch actually contained an incomparably terrifying force. Carol's body was sent flying with just one punch, and he fell heavily to the ground.
Chapter 693: New Boxing King
Before the referee in the cage could react, he heard the audience's cheers stop. No one saw what had happened clearly. Everyone's vision blurred as they saw the three-time boxing champion, Carol, fall straight to the ground. His muscular body was twitching.
After a short daze, the audience came back to their senses and shouted at Carol, who had fallen to the ground. At the same time, the way they looked at Xie Jiuhan had completely changed. How strong was the man who could defeat three-time boxing champion Carol with a punch?
Xie Jiuhan looked at the confused referee. "You can start counting the seconds."
The referee hurriedly came back to his senses. "Oh, right, right." He ran to the side of Carol's head and shouted as he slapped the ground, "Ten, nine, eight..."
"Carol, stand up and fight him!"
"Get up, Carol. It's time to show your prowess as the three-time champion."
"Wake up, Carol. This isn't the time for you to sleep. I've bet my entire life savings on you. If you dare to lose the competition, I'll fight you to the death."
The audience shouted crazily, wishing they could rush onto the stage and pinch Carol. They had spent a lot of money on Carol today. If they lost like this, they would have to pay for it.
When the referee counted to three, someone outside the octagon cage finally couldn't take it anymore. He strode into the octagon cage and blocked the referee's countdown. This person had a fat head and big ears. He had bright slicked-back hair and was wearing a colorful suit. He also had a small mustache. His eyes were narrowed into a line because he was too fat. When they saw this person go on stage, everyone present fell silent.
The fat man's name was Bran. He was the mayor of this city. In the years he had been the mayor, he had implemented many civil affairs policies, so he was very loved and supported by the people.
Bran walked to Carol's side and squatted down. Then, he swung his arms and slapped Carol's face a few times. Then, he folded his hands on Carol's chest and pressed hard. However, no matter how many methods he used, he could not wake Carol, who was foaming at the mouth and twitching all over. Xie Jiuhan made Carol lose consciousness with just one punch.
Xie Jiuhan stood quietly on the spot and stared at Carol, who was lying on the ground, with his cold black eyes. He had always defeated his opponents with one strike from the time he signed up for the competition until now. Many people who were weaker were even killed by him with one punch. He thought that as the three-time champion, Carol could more or less resist a few times, but in the end, he was still insta-killed by him.
The referee stood aside. There was no point in counting down because Carol had completely lost consciousness. Although he wasn't killed by a punch, he couldn't continue the competition. The host walked into the octagonal cage and announced loudly, "The competition is really too exciting. Please allow me to announce that the overall champion of this year's underground boxing competition is... Huge Whale! Let's use the warmest applause and cheers for him."
As he spoke, the host wanted to reach out to lift Xie Jiuhan's hand, but Xie Jiuhan instinctively dodged. The host was slightly stunned. He knew what the man meant, so he hurriedly distanced himself from the man. He didn't want to be sent to the crematorium by Xie Jiuhan's punch.
Xie Jiuhan turned around and walked out of the octagonal cage after he heard the results of the competition. The expression on his face was cold. He did not feel happy at all for obtaining the championship. It was as if he had only done something insignificant to him.
Countless people stared at him hatefully after he went to the money window to get the one million cash reward for the championship. After all, he was the one who caused everyone to lose money. However, when they thought of the man's terrifying strength, they immediately cowered. He had won twenty-one consecutive rounds and had obtained the championship belt in just a few hours. Such a terrifying person was not someone they could provoke.
...
In the video shop.
Xie Jiuhan pushed the door open and walked in. He threw the 30 stacks of cash at the cashier and said in a commanding tone, "We agreed previously to the 300,000. From now on, you are not allowed to print posters and photos of Siren in private or sell fake records. I will always be watching you. If you dare to go back on your words, I don't mind shattering your head with a punch."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's legs trembled and his face turned pale. He said incoherently, "You, I, take this money back and I'll give you that poster for free. I'll agree with what you said. I promise I won't sell anything related to Siren in the future."
Chapter 694: Breaking The Rules
Xie Jiuhan was very satisfied with the middle-aged man's performance. He picked up Feng Qing's torn poster and prepared to leave. The middle-aged man looked at him timidly. He didn't expect this man to be so terrifying. He actually participated in the underground boxing competition and even defeated Carol to become the new boxing champion. This had completely overturned his understanding.
"Huge Whale Fist King, on account of the 300,000, don't blame me for not reminding you. If I were you, I'd better leave this place overnight. Otherwise, you might be in trouble." Although the middle-aged man was afraid of Xie Jiuhan, he still braced himself and said.
"Trouble? What do you mean?" Xie Jiuhan raised his eyebrows.
According to the style of this city in the past, as long as he became the new boxing champion, he would be respected by the locals. Even the mayor would give him special treatment. Why would it be troublesome when he was the boxing champion? Could it be that this place ostracizes outsiders?
The middle-aged man said when he saw that he didn't understand, "You left too quickly just now, so you don't know the ruthless words that Mayor Bran said. He said that you, an outsider who came out of nowhere, didn't abide by the rules of the underground boxing competition. Although you easily defeated Carol, he will still find trouble with you."
Xie Jiuhan frowned even more upon hearing this. He didn't understand what the middle-aged man meant at all, nor did he know how he had offended the mayor here.
"What do you mean by rules?" Xie Jiuhan found the point.
"Hmph, I knew you wouldn't understand. Although we welcome boxers from all over the world to participate in the competition, there's a rule that everyone tacitly agrees to. That is, you have to first apply to be a boxer under the mayor before you have the right to be the boxing champion. That way, even if you defeat Carol, it will still belong to the win and lose of the mayor's subordinates. But the way you did it just now was like slapping the mayor in the face. The mayor was shamed, so as the boxing champion, you naturally won't have a good life. Do you understand now?" The middle-aged man explained kindly. Although he didn't like Xie Jiuhan's cold and domineering personality, Xie Jiuhan's strength had still won his respect.
"So you mean that Mayor Bran is going to deal with me?" Xie Jiuhan raised his chin and said coldly.
"You didn't hear wrongly, so quickly take the remaining 700,000 and go to sea. The farther away from here, the better. Don't ever come again. Otherwise, even if you have so much money, you won't have the life to spend it." The middle-aged man said.
After knowing that Mayor Bran wanted to attack him, not only was Xie Jiuhan not afraid, but a terrifying smile appeared on his face. The middle-aged man felt a chill run down his spine.
The corners of Xie Jiuhan's mouth curled up. "Before I came, I heard that the mayor, Bran, is a very famous collector. Rumor has it that he was a pirate when he was young. When he got rich later on, he whitewashed his crimes and went ashore. He then spent a lot of money to become the city lord. After that, he often went out to rob pirates in the name of the government. Therefore, his mansion seems to have a lot of good things. Crystal crown, natural crystal glass, the largest purple diamond in the world, and so on. He has a lot of treasures."
The middle-aged man suddenly felt his heart skip a beat after he heard Xie Jiuhan say this as if he knew everything. He felt a dangerous aura from Xie Jiuhan. "Don't tell me you still dare to have designs on Mayor Bran?"
Xie Jiuhan's pitch-black eyes emitted a thick evil smile. "It's not easy for me to go on a long trip. I was worried that I wouldn't know what to bring back for my wife. I didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to send himself to me."
The middle-aged man : "..."

At the dock, on the freighter.
When Xie Jiuhan stepped onto the splint with the golden belt on his shoulder, the captain of the guards came over and said, "Just now, the mayor here sent someone to say that we have to provide the navigation pass. Otherwise, our ship and goods will be confiscated according to the local laws. When we docked, we had already submitted the navigation pass to the customs. We didn't skip the general procedures either. But they're bringing this up. It's obvious that they're here for us. I sent someone to customs just now to ask. Their customs actually said that we have to leave the original navigation pass behind before we can leave. Then, we won't be able to stop at other ports. Only you went to the city to take a look today. Did you hear any other news?"
The others on the deck looked at Xie Jiuhan in unison upon hearing the captain of the guards' words. They were all waiting for him to speak. After fighting side by side for this period of time, Xie Jiuhan had already been treated by these people as the God of War, an omnipotent God of War. Therefore, before making any decisions, they would discuss with him and most of them would follow his opinion.
Chapter 695: Potian The First Emperor
Xie Jiuhan glanced at everyone and said, "It's getting late. Go back and sleep."
Everyone : "..."
This city was about to attack them, but Xie Jiuhan told them to go back and sleep in peace. Who could sleep at this time? Others might not know what was on the freighter, but they knew very well. If they were intercepted here, it would mean that their mission had failed.
The captain of the guards said anxiously, "Huge Whale, how can our brothers fall asleep at a time like this? Didn't we sail on the sea for so long and fight so many battles just to send this batch of goods back safely? Are we going to give up just like that?"
Xie Jiuhan raised his chin and looked down at the captain of the guards coldly upon hearing the questioning voice. "Did I say that I was going to give up the mission? I said that we're going back to sleep and conserving our energy. We'll set off normally tomorrow morning."
The captain of the guards said in confusion, "Set off tomorrow? Huge Whale, don't you understand me? If we don't send the original navigation pass to customs tonight, our ship will be detained tomorrow."
Xie Jiuhan's voice was unquestionable. "If I say that we can set off normally, we can set off tomorrow."
All the guards, including the captain, no longer questioned him. This man in front of them had created countless miracles in front of them during this period of time. Every time they were in a critical moment and every time they were about to be wiped out, this man would turn the tide and bring them to turn the tables. They firmly believed what this man said. Since this man said that he could, he definitely could.
Xie Jiuhan ignored everyone, turned around and returned to his room to rest. He laid on the bed and took out Feng Qing's poster to admire it. Although there was Internet here, he didn't dare to turn it on. There were countless satellites in the sky looking for him. As long as he dared to turn it on for more than ten seconds, he would immediately be located by the satellites.
If he couldn't turn it on, it meant that he couldn't contact Feng Qing or look at Feng Qing's photo inside. He had accidentally obtained this poster today, and it could barely solve the yearning in his heart. He sat down to look at it, he laid down to look at it, he laid on his stomach to look at it. He pasted the poster on the ceiling and looked at it. He felt that he couldn't get enough of the woman on the poster.
When he saw that the corner of the poster was signed with the name of Han Jintian's production team, Xie Jiuhan raised his eyebrows and his face immediately darkened. He had told the woman to stay away from Han Jintian, but Han Jintian had even taken a poster for her after he left a few days ago. It looked like their relationship was even better than he had imagined. The man snorted coldly and covered his body with the poster, making Feng Qing's face pressed tightly against his chest, as if he could feel Feng Qing in his arms this way.
Suddenly, the faint sound of guards chatting could be heard outside the room. Although the sound was very weak and was mixed with the sound of waves, the man could still hear it clearly.
"Heh, I went ashore to buy a box of cigarettes just now and realized that there's actually no one near the port. Other than one or two small supermarkets that are still open, everyone went to the King of Fighters Bar."
"The King of Fighters Bar hosted the most famous underground boxing competition in the world. It's held here every year at the end of the year. The person who wins the title of Boxing King will not only obtain a high bonus, but also have many special privileges. It's the biggest event in this city."
"Oh, I see. No wonder I heard from the cashier that the new boxing champion this year is very powerful. In just a day, he won 21 consecutive rounds and even defeated the old Boxing King."
"D*mn, is that true? He won 21 consecutive rounds in a day. Is this person a monster? Doesn't he need to rest?"
"I also got off the boat to buy rum just now. Guess what I heard. That new boxing champion was in the octagon cage and only used one punch to KO the three-time boxing champion. It's said that it only took five seconds from the moment the host announced it until the old boxing champion fell to the ground and couldn't get up. Isn't it awesome?"
"Hmph, KO in five seconds is nothing. This new boxing champion reminds me of someone. A few years ago, a combat genius appeared in Xia country's underground boxing world. It was said that his strongest record was two seconds to KO an opponent. It was also from then on that he became a legend in Xia country's underground boxing world that could not be surpassed."
Just as the guards were chatting happily, the captain's voice sounded from afar. "You should be talking about the God of the underground boxing scene in Xia country, the Three Crown Fist Emperor with the title of the strongest fist, Potian, right?"
The guard hurriedly nodded. "Yes, yes. It's him. He's the legend of Xia country's underground boxing world, Potian the Fist Emperor."
Chapter 696: Lord Phoenix Reappears
Many guards recalled upon hearing the words "Fist Emperor Potian". Although they were not from Xia country, they had heard of the legendary figure in Xia country's underground boxing world.
The captain of the guards said, "Not only did the Fist Emperor Potian win the championship of Xia country's underground boxing scene for three consecutive years, but he also maintained a record of total victory for three whole years. He won a total of three hundred rounds in three years. There were two hundred and sixty rounds where he directly KO his opponents, thirty rounds where he beat his opponent into a vegetable, and ten rounds where he sent his opponents to be cremated with a single punch. He is the god of the underground boxing scene in Xia country, and he is also the only man who has obtained the title of God of the Boxing scene."
Speaking up to this point, the captain of the guards sighed and said with a look of pity, "The only regret is that after the third championship, the Fist Emperor Potian announced that he would withdraw from the boxing world and no longer participate in any underground boxing competitions. In order to commemorate him, the Xia country's boxing world will forever keep the title of the God of the Boxing World for him. If only the Fist Emperor Potian could still come out and fight. I also want to see his competition with my own eyes and see how powerful the legendary Potian's punch is."
—-
The deck was silent at two in the morning. Other than the guards at the bow and stern, everyone had already entered their dreams. This was also the time when normal people slept the deepest. In the darkness, Xie Jiuhan suddenly opened his eyes. Then, he walked to the deck like a ghost and jumped into the sea without alerting anyone.
Ten minutes later, he went ashore in a remote corner of the dock. There was no light here, and no one was walking around. Xie Jiuhan twisted his clothes and walked towards a huge warehouse on the dock. When the warehouse door was pushed open by him, three hundred neatly dressed international mercenaries were eating and drinking inside. Some were maintaining their guns, some were applying poison to the bullets, and some were arm wrestling. However, most of them were hugging their guns and sleeping.
The man walked into the warehouse in the night light. All the mercenaries froze and hundreds of eyes looked at him. In an instant, the entire warehouse was filled with a murderous aura. The man's expression was cold, and his black eyes shone with supreme dignity. The man took off his shirt, revealing his perfect muscles. Then, he turned his back to everyone and revealed the tattoo of the Fire Phoenix's Eye on his waist.
The next second, three hundred international mercenaries lined up in a square formation and knelt on one knee in unison. They placed their right hands on their left chest and looked at him excitedly and respectfully.
"Lord Phoenix!" Three hundred voices gathered together. The huge sound wave seemed to want to pierce a hole in the entire warehouse, and even the ground trembled slightly.
The air was filled with the smell of cigarettes and sweat, mixed with a surging murderous aura. Xie Jiuhan changed into a clean camouflage suit and slowly turned around to look at the mercenaries kneeling on the ground. "The phoenix desires fire, looks down on the firmament!"
"The phoenix desires fire, looks down on the firmament!" The mercenaries shouted excitedly. In their eyes, the man in front of them was the faith in their hearts, the idol of all the mercenaries. The starlight fell on the man from the entrance of the warehouse, dyeing his figure a faint silver color, making him look like a king under the moonlight, ruling everything in the night.
Xie Jiuhan raised his hands gently and gestured for the mercenaries to get up. Then, he walked to the place where the weapons and ammunition were piled up. He took out a modified Bartley sniper rifle and two strings of armor-piercing bullets.
After loading the gun and opening the safety, Xie Jiuhan shouted, "Sword God!"
The next second, a burly person with muscles that could be seen even though he was wearing a combat suit took a step forward and bowed to Xie Jiuhan. "Lord Phoenix, the Sword God is here."
The Sword God was half a size larger than Xie Jiuhan. He looked at Xie Jiuhan with admiration. He treated this man as his master from the bottom of his heart.
Xie Jiuhan carried the Bartley sniper rifle on his back and took out two pistols from the box to hang it on his waist. Then, he turned to look at the Sword God and revealed a smile that was even more terrifying than the devil. "Let's go. Bring your men and follow me to do something!"
Upon hearing this, the mercenaries were so excited that their muscles were trembling. They were all people who had experienced life and death. As long as they heard that there was a battle, their mood would surge and their blood would boil. Moreover, they were fighting alongside the King of Mercenaries, the Lord Phoenix. Just the thought of it made them excited and honored.
—-
Ten minutes later, Mayor Bran, who was tasting a virgin, was stunned by the sound of an explosion. Before he could get up from the woman's stomach, the door was pushed open.
Chapter 697: Bran Is Scared
"Not good, Mayor Bran. An unknown force has broken into the mansion. Countless of our people are dead or injured. It looks like they're here for you," a loyal subordinate said anxiously.
Mayor Bran frowned. He was naturally not in a good mood after being interrupted. "Who are they? How dare they attack this place? I want to kill them all!"
He was still immersed in the virgin's beautiful body just now, and now, his consciousness had yet to completely come back to his body. He only thought that some overconfident person was causing trouble, so he did not know how serious the situation outside was. After all, he had the management rights of the entire city and the best submarines and warships in the vicinity, so he had never thought that anyone could threaten his life and property.
The loyal subordinate said anxiously, "Mayor Bran, the situation is urgent now. You should escape through the secret passageway in the mansion first. It'll be too late if you don't leave now."
Bang! Before Mayor Bran could ask anything else, he saw his loyal subordinate's head explode in front of his eyes. White brain matter mixed with dark red blood splashed everywhere. Two eyeballs even hit his face, and the sticky matter sprayed all over his body.
Mayor Bran was stunned. He watched in disbelief as the headless corpse fell. Although he had killed many people, this was the first time he had seen such a bloody scene. The woman on the bed let out a piercing scream, even sharper than the one she had shouted when Mayor Bran raped her.
Mayor Bran came back to his senses and pulled open the bedside table to take out the gun inside. At this moment, seven to eight people rushed into the room and several red dots aimed at him.
When he saw the person in the lead, Bran said with a fierce expression, "So it's you? You broke our rules here. I haven't settled the score with you yet, but you actually dare to bring people to attack my mansion. Don't think that I'm afraid of you. No matter what you do, as long as I die, you and your people won't be able to escape this sea area. Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"
Bran flipped his wrist and pulled out a red dagger from under the pillow. Before he could hurt anyone, a bullet shattered Bran's hand. Blood dyed Bran's hand red. The intense pain almost made him faint. The beautiful girl on the bed even fainted.
"Kid, how dare you hurt me? Do you want to die?" Mayor Bran threatened with his eyes wide open.
Xie Jiuhan raised his gun and pressed the cold muzzle against Bran's forehead. He looked at him disdainfully and said, "Have you heard of Lord Phoenix?"
Mayor Bran was stunned. "You, you're the Lord Phoenix?"
Xie Jiuhan curled his lips. "Of course!"
"Do you still think I don't dare to kill you now? Or do you think your family can stop me with your little strength?" Xie Jiuhan continued after seeing that Bran had heard of his name.
The next second, Bran's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground. It wasn't that he wanted to kneel, but his legs were trembling all over. He couldn't exert any strength at all. He finally realized the seriousness of the problem as he looked at Xie Jiuhan's black gun muzzle. He had clearly looked like he wasn't afraid of anyone and wanted to eat someone just now, but now, he was like a puppy begging for mercy.
At the critical moment, Bran no longer cared about his reputation. He knelt down and moved towards Xie Jiuhan. "Is it too late for me to call you Daddy now?"
Bang! Another gunshot rang out. Xie Jiuhan pulled the trigger. He did not blow up Bran's head, but he shattered the tiles in front of him. However, the loud gunshot still hurt Bran's ears. He did not want Bran to get close to him. He was afraid that he would be disgusted by Bran's dirty hands.
A few minutes later, Xie Jiuhan was sitting on pure white polar bear fur. One hand was supporting his chin, and one leg was crossed on the other. His face was expressionless, but he gave off the impression that he was looking down on the common people. The room was filled with fully armed mercenaries, all of them exuding a murderous aura.
Bran was only wearing a pair of triangular pants because he was enjoying the young body of a virgin. Under Xie Jiuhan's gaze, he obediently opened the secret door and personally moved the items inside to the front of Xie Jiuhan. These were all the rare treasures he had collected for many years. Now, they could be exchanged for his life.
Bran knelt in front of Xie Jiuhan with a round purple diamond the size of a pigeon egg in his hands. He lowered his head and said, "Lord Phoenix, this is a natural purple diamond, and it's also the biggest I've ever seen. I can give it to you as a gift now that you're here. Also, those diamonds, gold, pearls, and so on are given to you as travel expenses."
Chapter 698: Unyielding Spear And Night
Xie Jiuhan took the purple diamond the size of a pigeon egg and played with it for a while. "Hmph, three years ago, my wife had 108 of such things when she was still my girlfriend. Later on, she strung them into a necklace for her dog to play with. I heard from the servants in the house that her dog didn't care either. I think it buried that necklace in the garden."
Bran did not know how to answer upon hearing this. Should he praise Xie Jiuhan's dog for having too high a taste, or should he say that he was worse than a dog? Hence, he could only smile dryly and hold up a large bunch of colorful gems. He had to give them to him even if he did not cherish them. Otherwise, what could he use to exchange for his life?
Xie Jiuhan did not even look at the gems. Instead, he said coldly, "If you want to live, obediently take out the good things you've collected. For example, the legendary Queen Crystal Crown."
Before he could finish his sentence, a few more infrared rays moved to Bran's face. It was as if as long as he dared to say no, he would immediately be shot into a sieve. The situation was better than him. Bran swallowed his saliva and knelt on the ground and reached towards an oil painting hanging on the wall. It was unknown what switch he pressed, but the painting rose automatically. Then, a space was revealed. There was a glass cover inside, and inside the glass cover was a transparent crown that looked like it was artificially made.
Although he was reluctant, in order to survive, Bran could only take out the crystal crown with a pained expression.
Xie Jiuhan sat on the polar bear fur mountain and glanced at the crystal crown lazily. The reason why this crown was valued by Xie Jiuhan was not because of how much it was worth, but because of its historical significance, research value, and so on.
The original name of this crown was the Queen Crystal Crown. It was accidentally discovered in the crystal mine three hundred years ago. After various checks and experts' identification, they found that the Queen Crystal Crown was naturally formed. There were no traces of stitching or polishing. Most importantly, after going through the carbon fourteen positioning method, it was confirmed that the Queen Crystal Crown had existed for at least a hundred million years. At that time, there were no humans at all. Then, who made this crown? Could it be that the Goddess of Nature made it herself?
There was also folklore regarding the Queen Crystal Crown. It was said that there was once a sorcerer who was very powerful and could communicate with the Heavenly Realm. Therefore, when the sorcerer was communicating with the Heavenly Realm, he specially asked about the secret and function of the Queen Crystal Crown. The sorcerer knew that any female human who wore this Queen Crystal Crown would obtain the special ability of eternal youth after communication. Moreover, after death, their body would not rot, and their souls would rise to the Heavenly Realm because of the Queen Crystal Crown.
Xie Jiuhan stared at the Queen Crystal Crown for a while and felt that this thing was not bad. Regardless of whether it was really as godly as the legends said, at least there was only one in the world. It was considered the only thing. It was not bad to bring it back as a gift for his wife.
Bran's heart beat like a drum as he saw the obscure expression on the man's face. He couldn't guess the man's thoughts. If the man wasn't interested in the Queen Crystal Crown, then he had nothing to show. Therefore, his strong desire to live made his thoughts run wild again, thinking about how to please this man.
Suddenly, Bran's eyes lit up as a thought flashed across his mind. Xie Jiuhan was a man after all. There was no man who was not lecherous. Hence, he said obsequiously, "Lord Phoenix, please wait a moment. I have another treasure for you."
As he spoke, Bran turned around and entered the dark room again. He rummaged through it for a while before walking out with a white wooden box.
Bran opened the box respectfully and handed it to Xie Jiuhan. "Lord Phoenix, this thing is called 'Unyielding Spear'. Taking one can let men show off their prowess and make those women beg for mercy coquettishly. This thing is very precious and rare. It's a plant that grows on the cliffs of the tropical area. It blooms once every ten years and bears fruit once every ten years. It can't be bought with money. I also obtained it when I robbed a pirate ship. I can't bear to use it usually. I only enjoy one when my stamina is exhausted."
After introducing the first one, Bran picked up another black thing and continued, "And this thing. Don't look at how disgusting it looks, it tastes very sweet, and the function is also very domineering. It's called 'Night Battle'. I even ate it once last month and f*cked seven women in one night. That taste was simply awesome!"
The reason why he placed his attention on these things was because in Bran's opinion, as long as it was a man who was breathing, there was no one who did not like women. Especially for someone like Xie Jiuhan, who had been licking blood all year round, his need for women was even more terrifying. He had also spent a lot of effort in order to please Xie Jiuhan.
Chapter 699: Divine Beast
Xie Jiuhan's eyes twitched as he looked at Bran's wretched expression. "Do you think I need these things?"
Bran's heart tightened upon hearing this. He knew that he had failed to please him again. However, when he thought about it, it made sense. After all, Xie Jiuhan was very young. He looked to be in his twenties at most. How could a person of this age need any medicine? Hence, his eyes darted around and he immediately had an idea.
Bran put down the white box and took out something from another black box. "Master, this thing is called Zhenpin Tianxiang. Don't underestimate this thing. This thing is sold in grams on the international black market. One gram costs three hundred thousand and is very rare."
Xie Jiuhan couldn't help but look over upon hearing the words "Zhenpin Tianxiang". He seemed to finally be interested. He was very clear about this thing because three years ago, he had used this thing to scam the boss of Blue Stocks Capital.
Xie Jiuhan reached out and took the Zhenpin Tianxiang. He played with it for a while and a devilish smile appeared on his lips. Three years had passed. He wondered if the boss of Blue Stocks Capital still yearned for this Zhenping Tianxiang as much as before. He felt that he could keep this thing and find a chance to con that fellow again. Just the thought of it was interesting...
Bran finally felt relieved when he saw that Xie Jiuhan had accepted the Zhenping Tianxiang. He felt that his life seemed to have been saved for the time being. If he had known that Xie Jiuhan liked this thing, he wouldn't have spent so much effort before. However, when he saw the evil smile on Xie Jiuhan's lips, he couldn't help but tremble. He felt that this man was scheming against someone again.
Xie Jiuhan looked around and finally chose a jade thumb ring among the treasures that were piled up like a mountain. This jade thumb ring was made of top-grade imperial jade. Its quality and color were also top-grade. It was very rare to see such a big and good top-grade ice-type imperial jade. The most amazing thing was that a blood-red ribbon had naturally formed inside the jade. Although he didn't know what this circle of red was, it looked very good when combined with the color of the ice-type imperial jade.
When he had taken a fancy to the jade ring again, Bran hurriedly flattered, "As expected of Master, your taste is good. You took a fancy to this top-grade item at a glance. As long as Master likes it, you can take it away."
Xie Jiuhan said coldly, "What's the pattern carved on this thumb ring?"
Bran was stunned for a moment before he explained, "This thumb ring was designed and made by a famous craftsman in Country R. He originally made it for his pregnant wife, so the carving on it is the legendary divine beast that can protect pregnant women and calm the fetus and mother. Later on, it ended up in my hands."
Xie Jiuhan nodded when he heard the meaning of this thumb ring. In addition, this was a rare top-grade ice-type imperial jade with a blood jade ribbon. "Yes, I'll accept this."
Bran hurriedly nodded with an obedient and sensible expression. However, he was cursing Xie Jiuhan crazily in his heart. However, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only bear the pain and give up his love. After all, nothing was more important than his life.
...
When Xie Jiuhan walked out of Bran's mansion with the mercenaries, the sky was already bright. The salty sea wind blew Xie Jiuhan's hair, making him feel refreshed. The mercenaries behind him also took a deep breath of fresh air.
The Sword God walked over and said, "Lord Phoenix, that old fellow, Bran, is probably scared out of his wits. He definitely won't dare to have any designs on you anymore. I wonder where you're going now? My brothers and I are willing to follow you. Regardless of whether we go through hell or high water, as long as we can follow you, I'm willing to give up everything for you. Even if you want me to pick up the soap, I'm willing..."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jiuhan hurriedly took two steps to the side and said in disdain, "Get lost! If you dare to disgust me again, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish."
Not only was the Sword God not afraid after being scolded by Xie Jiuhan, but he also smiled lowly. "Not to mention feeding the fish, if Master is willing, I can do anything for you."
Xie Jiuhan was speechless. He wanted to vomit but couldn't. He could only change the topic. "We'll go to Xia country in a day. We'll travel by water the entire time."
The Sword God hurriedly said, "Lord Phoenix, I want to go back to Xia country too. Can you let me and my brothers follow you?"
Xie Jiuhan pondered for a moment. Although the Sword God looked sloppy all day, his combat strength was very strong. It was not difficult to take the head of a general in a ten thousand army with an ancient sword in his hand. It was not bad to have him as a helper on the way back. Hence, he said, "Let the brothers go home. You can come up."
Chapter 700: What Are You Trying To Do?
The Sword God beamed with joy when he agreed. "Hehe, alright, I like being on top."
Xie Jiuhan : "..."
The next second, the man exuded a terrifying aura. The Sword God felt as if countless pistols were aimed at him, scaring him so much that he hurriedly retracted his smile.
The Sword God said nonsense in a serious manner, "I don't mean that. I'm a very innocent person. Don't think so dirty of me. I just want to express that I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you want me to do and will never resist!"
The veins on Xie Jiuhan's forehead twitched again. He couldn't be bothered with the Sword God. If not for the fact that he was still useful, he would have kicked him into the sea. After snorting coldly, he ignored the Sword God and walked straight to the port. The Sword God looked at his tall back with stars shining in his eyes. In the past, he was Xie Jiuhan's little fan. He hadn't changed now and would always be so.
...
On the freighter.
The two guards who were standing guard were shocked when they saw Xie Jiuhan standing under the ship. They hurriedly put down the boarding ladder. However, when they saw the Sword God who came up with Xie Jiuhan, they immediately raised their guns and aimed at the Sword God. "Who is it?!"
The Sword God stopped in his tracks and raised his eyebrows. The ancient sword on his back trembled non-stop, as if it was alive. Xie Jiuhan said coldly, "Put down your gun. He's my personal guard. I advise you not to find trouble with him. Otherwise, he can kill all of you alone."
The guards : "..."
The cargo ship slowly set sail under Xie Jiuhan's orders. The customs personnel who wanted to stop them had all disappeared. Only when the cargo ship left the port and entered the open sea did the guards heave a sigh of relief.
"How did Huge Whale do it? The customs actually let us go just like that?"
"Did any of you see Huge Whale get off the ship last night? I was shocked when he came back this morning. I thought some expert wanted to attack us."
"Through this period of observation, I realized that Huge Whale is not as simple as it looks. He knows technology, has super strong combat strength, and is very clear-headed. There are definitely more identities behind such a person."
On the deck, the guards were all discussing softly. When they saw the Sword God, they felt that this person was definitely extraordinary. They could no longer see through Xie Jiuhan with this matter. They felt that this man was covered in a fog. Xie Jiuhan was leaning against the railing at the bow of the ship, enjoying the sea wind and sunlight. The Sword God handed him a can of beer. Xie Jiuhan took it and took a big gulp.
The Sword God also took a sip and pointed at the guards. "Who are they? Why haven't I seen them before? They shouldn't be mercenaries. Moreover, looking at the calluses on their hands, their eyes and movements, I know that they've all really been on the battlefield before. None of them are simple."
Xie Jiuhan took another sip of beer and said, "They're all from the periphery of Xia country's Qing Shan. They're old now and will all retire after this trip."
"Qing Shan?! They're actually the periphery of Xia country's Qing Shan?!" The Sword God was so shocked that he almost crushed the beer can.
Xia country's Qing Shan was the top intelligence and combat organization in Xia country. It was the holy temple that countless Xia country's soldiers dreamed of, and it was also the top combat force of the Xia country's Ministry of Defense and the military.
The Sword God endured the shock in his heart and said, "Since they're from Xia country's Qing Shan, it means that you must be on some especially important secret mission. You're even driving such a large freighter. The things you're transporting are also something that the Xia country's military values very much. Am I right?"
Xie Jiuhan couldn't help but smile after he heard the Sword God's analysis. He didn't admit or deny it. He wasn't the one who said this. The Sword God had guessed it himself, so he wasn't considered to have leaked the secret.
The Sword God said, "Lord Phoenix, I have a bold guess. Don't tell me you're also from Xia country's Qing Shan? Otherwise, why are your skills so abnormal?"
Xie Jiuhan thought for a moment and said, "Don't misunderstand. Qing Shan and I are just cooperating."
The Sword God said with admiration, "My Lord Phoenix is so awesome to be able to cooperate with the top organization in Xia country. Big shot, do you still lack followers?"
Xie Jiuhan wanted to kick the Sword God off the boat. He was already regretting it when he reached the open sea. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have let him follow.
The Sword God asked curiously, "You can earn tens of millions in minutes as the president of the Xie Corporation. Why did you come out to do such a thing? Not only is it dangerous, but you also have to endure the emptiness and loneliness on the sea. What are you trying to do?"
