Jiang Wanzhi and Bai Shanglu were both dumbfounded.
Yes, there's only one invitation, but all we need is a big ship!
"Kim Jung-seok, come and help!" Bai Shanglu shouted at the people posing on the bow of the ship.
So Kim Jung-seok gave the direct order: "Let's just ram them!"
The ship was enormous, capable of carrying over a hundred people, and it crashed directly into the floating platform of the pleasure boat.
Both the large ship and the painted boat were made of wood. When they collided, the painted boat, the stage, and the pavilions of the large ship all began to collapse, and various building debris was scattered all over the ground.
Only then did the guests slowly awaken from the shock, and Gu Ran and the other two followed suit, opening their eyes groggily.
"Kim Jung-seok, are you out of your mind?!" Zhou Minhao exclaimed, looking at the mess around them. "Quickly, save people!"
Fortunately, the ordinary people only suffered minor injuries, none of them were seriously injured or died, but a few still needed emergency medical treatment at the hospital, otherwise their injuries might have worsened.
The most seriously injured was Susanna, because when she was hit, she subconsciously glanced at Zhao Xuzhen, which gave Old Man Jiang an opportunity to grab one of her legs and use her like a stick to break several load-bearing pillars before throwing her to the side.
At this moment, half of Susanna's face was covered in blood, her blue dress was tattered, and the clothes on her chest were completely torn. She covered her chest with her hands, as if she wanted to beg for mercy.
Chapter 597 The Dragon Knight Appears!
Old Man Jiang didn't go all the way; he simply tossed a tablecloth to the disheveled Susanna.
So Susanna felt relieved and didn't want to fight anymore.
Meanwhile, Zhou Minhao was still fighting Zhao Xuzhen.
Zhou Minhao had just punched Zhao Xuzhen with a flaming fist, instantly causing Zhao Xuzhen to suffer explosive damage.
But Zhao Xuzhen chose to switch places, kicking Zhou Minhao again. The two then climbed onto the roof of the pleasure boat and continued their standoff.
Kim Jung-seok invited everyone to board his large ship, which was structurally stable and could carry a lot.
Bai Shanglu immediately carried Jiang Wan aboard the ship, and Gu Ran and Victoria also carried their luggage and boarded Kim Jung-seok's large ship together.
During the evacuation, the wedding candles were accidentally knocked over, setting the collapsed pleasure boat on fire.
"It really turned into a chain of ships being burned down," Gu Ran sighed from the side.
Bai Shanglu then remembered what Gu Ran had said. He looked at Gu Ran and the other two and found that they were all alright, which put his mind at ease.
"Who are these three?" Jiang Wanzhi stared at Gu Ran and the other two, her gaze mainly fixed on Victoria and Isabel.
These two women are just as good-looking as her. I'm very curious how my husband knows these three women.
Bai Shanglu explained, "Oh, they are all college students who came for tourism. My dad shouted on the boat, 'Anyone who wants to see the wedding of the century can get on board,' and they got on board."
Like Zhou Minhao, Jiang Wanzhi sensed that Gu Ran and the other two were not simple people.
"Wow, Brother Zhou's hands are on fire! Is that a special effect?" Gu Ran said, pointing to Zhou Minhao on the roof of the painted boat.
This sentence successfully diverted Jiang Wanzhi's attention from the three of them.
Zhou Minhao's hands were engulfed in flames, and the battlefield where he and Zhao Xuzhen were located was also on fire. The two faced each other in the flames, neither daring to relax their guard.
However, Zhao Xuzhen's attention was always on Zhou Minhao's broadsword, as if he was always wary that Zhou Minhao would draw his sword.
He always spoke with a theatrical air, as if reciting a Shakespearean line: "Does the Zhou family also yearn for the world?"
"Huh?" Zhou Minhao was taken aback, not used to that way of speaking. "If your Chinese isn't good, you can speak English. I studied in England, so my English is pretty good."
"Your Zhou family wants to interfere with the knighthood inheritance ceremony of our Solomon Temple, doesn't it? And you also want to monopolize the superior bloodline in the East."
"Stop talking, just fight if you want. After we're done, I want to go get a late-night snack." Zhou Minhao was too lazy to waste any more words with him.
In the fire, the two looked at each other. Zhao Xuzhen took off his clothes and went shirtless. Zhou Minhao did the same, because he was worried that the clothes would interfere with their battle later.
"Shouldn't he draw his sword by now?" Victoria suddenly whispered.
Bai Shanglu and Jiang Wanzhi both nodded slightly. They had both seen that Zhou Minhao couldn't beat Zhao Xuzhen, and that there was probably no other way but to draw his sword.
Gu Ran turned to Victoria and said, "Put on your body cameras and turn them on, and take out the video cameras too. We're starting to collect evidence."
"Yes."
Victoria took a camera out of her bag, slung it over her shoulder, and focused the lens on the stage.
At the same time, Zhou Minhao and Zhao Xuzhen began their final battle, charging at each other and launching attacks together.
Zhou Minhao still did not draw his sword, but instead used the chain on the sword to attack Zhao Xuzhen. However, Zhao Xuzhen dodged the attack and prepared to retaliate.
Just then, Zhou Minhao suddenly changed his move and punched Zhao Xuzhen in the face. The fist seemed to appear out of nowhere and hit Zhao Xuzhen's cheek.
The fist, wreathed in flames, sent Zhao Xuzhen flying, crashing into the nearby ruins.
"Besides Bagua and Xingyi, I also practiced Tongbei Quan for a few years," Zhou Minhao said calmly. "What's done in the martial arts world should be left to the martial arts world. Can we end this now?"
He stared at Zhao Xuzhen in the ruins, but Zhao Xuzhen remained silent, seemingly unconscious.
Zhou Minhao wanted to check on the other person's injuries, but at that moment, Jiang Wanzhi suddenly stood up, picked up her shotgun, and fired two shots at Zhao Xuzhen in the ruins.
All the bullets hit Zhao Xuzhen's chest. Zhao Xuzhen roared and stood up, but due to the impact of the bullets, he fell into the fire.
"Come here quickly, let's go!" Jiang Wanzhi shouted at Zhou Minhao, "We can't kill him, no one knows what kind of monster he is."
Zhao Xuzhen's secretary, Susanna, whose face was covered in blood, said in a terrified voice, "Quick, let's go! Let's go right now, let's get out of here!"
Zhao Xuzhen's bodyguards were so scared that they kept talking nonsense, repeating the same thing: "You shouldn't have angered him, you shouldn't have made him angry."
"What will happen if he gets angry?" Gu Ran asked, picking up one of the bodyguards.
But the bodyguard seemed stunned, trembling uncontrollably, unable to utter a word.
Seeing this, Old Man Jiang grabbed the bodyguard from Gu Ran's arms and slapped him several times, knocking him unconscious, but he still couldn't speak.
"Anyway, let's go first," Jiang Wanzhi said.
So Kim Jung-seok shouted to set sail, and the multi-story ship that could carry a hundred people slowly began to leave.
The boat moved slowly, as it was a place of romance and beauty. The group sailed the boat into the lotus grove, and the mist on the lake rose again.
Furthermore, they encountered the same phenomenon they had encountered on their way there: the crabs had once again gathered together, preventing the ship from leaving.
"The fog remains, and Zhao Xuzhen is still here."
Jiang Wanzhi's face was pale; she seemed to know that she couldn't escape.
“We only have the pass to get here, not the pass to get back, but…” Zhou Minhao whispered at the bow of the ship, “How did Zhao Xuzhen, a human, maintain and construct such a large-scale mantra?”
The once calm surface of Yangcheng Lake was suddenly swept by a wind that swept in from afar, bringing with it wave after wave of huge waves. Such waves are only encountered in the deep sea. The ship was immediately attacked by the wind and waves and began to sway.
In the wind, everyone heard something enormous roaring, like some kind of wild beast, its voice carrying an ancient majesty.
Jiang Wanzhi was so shocked she couldn't speak, muttering, "So, he really really is..."
"A knight?" Zhou Minhao asked, "A knight from the Solomon Temple?"
Jiang Wanzhi nodded slightly and said, “When I saw the Lamb open the first of the seven seals, I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, ‘Come!’ And I looked and saw a white horse, with a bow on its rider, and a crown given to it. And it came out and won and wanted to win again…”
These words were solemn and obscure, and many people could not understand them, but they could sense the heaviness in Jiang Wanzhi's tone.
Gu Ran used his white eyes to pierce through the fog and could already see the giant object in the distance.
“Here they are.” He glanced at Victoria, wanting her to set up the camera first, but found that she was intimidated by Long Wei.
Isabelle is the same.
Both of them were facing a pure-blooded dragon for the first time, and their hearts trembled involuntarily.
He opened his arms and put them on the shoulders of the two girls, patting their backs to encourage them: "Don't be afraid, just think of yourself as a big lizard. The greatest hymn of mankind is the courage to move forward without hesitation."
He held the two girls in his arms and patted their shoulders hard. The two girls felt Gu Ran's body temperature and strength and finally came back to their senses.
Zhou Minhao then turned to look at Gu Ran and said, "You are indeed like me, a person of the martial arts world."
“Yes, but not quite…” Gu Ran smiled. “If I had to use the analogy of the martial arts world, I might be considered a constable.”
Just then, the clear Yangcheng Lake suddenly became turbid, and a huge creature stood up amidst the raging waves. It had a long neck and black scales.
This thing was as big as a whale, its eyes shining with a crimson-gold light, staring at everyone with a menacing aura that chilled them to the bone.
It turns out that the misty spell here was cast by this dragon, which is why the area is so large, and the crabs are also obeying the dragon's commands.
Isabel and Victoria, who had just rallied, once again felt the suppression and pressure from their bloodline.
Gu Ran patted their heads, then stood in front of them: "Girls, don't forget our mission, it's time to get to work."
The two girls mustered their courage once again and looked directly into the dragon's eyes. Victoria also took out her camera and pointed the lens at the dragon.
"There's a person standing on the dragon's head!"
As Victoria zoomed in on the camera, she immediately saw Zhao Xuzhen standing on the dragon's head.
She was stunned. Judging from the color of its eyes, this high and mighty dragon should be a second-generation species, only one level below the Dragon King.
But it actually allowed the hybrid to stand on its head!
Gu Ran, with his glare and long-sightedness, had already seen it.
Zhao Xuzhen's voice echoed from all directions, saying, "Jiang Wanzhi, you forced me into this. I may not have your heart, but everything about you except your heart must belong to me! Your body! Your soul!"
"So Zhao Xuzhen is a dragon knight? No wonder he likes NTR and stealing other men's wives," Gu Ran remarked.
Zhou Minhao and Bai Shanglu, two men who usually read Jin Yong's works, couldn't help but turn around and glance at him together.
"Your analogy is quite apt," Zhou Minhao said with a smile.
"Hey, hey, hey, now's not the time to complain! That's a dragon! And Zhao Xuzhen looks like a little dragon, with horns growing on his head!" Bai Shanglu said anxiously. "What should we do now? He's not going to let us go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the dragon began to roar and chant dragon script. The next moment, a wave of energy emanated from the dragon and expanded in all directions, like a ripple.
Zhou Minhao seemed to sense something: "Don't look!"
But it was too late. Many people saw the wave and then fell into a majestic illusion.
Jiang Wanzhi covered Old Man Jiang's eyes because she wanted to ensure more fighting strength. In her opinion, among these people, only she, Zhou Minhao, and Old Man Jiang were capable of fighting.
Gu Ran stared at the wave circle and fell into an illusion. It was a battlefield ruin, with the corpses of the dead piled up around it. The scene of death assaulted his mind, like the end of the world.
Chapter 598 To fail to act in a righteous cause is to lack courage.
The illusion Gu Ran is seeing now is the scene described in the Book of Revelation in the Bible, which is the story of "the Lamb opening the seven seals" that Jiang Wanzhi mentioned.
