Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1466: Peeping Cultivation Above the Clouds (2)

Liang Cai pondered for a moment and said, “Are you saying you want to buy fish? I remember Seventh Master doesn’t like to eat fish.”

This battle is indeed peculiar, the beach was bustling with people, yet besides Tan Jinxiao, no one could see the two men engaged in combat.

Guan Huodong had seen through Li Banfeng’s intentions. Li Banfeng did not want to disturb the fishermen and farmers present, especially the farmers, as soil exchange was a major event concerning their annual harvest, and this must not be disrupted.

Guan Huodong took advantage of this, unhurriedly maneuvering around Li Banfeng.

A boatman shouted to Guan Huodong, “Hey you fish hunters, pull in your net, you can’t cast nets here, don’t mess up my boat.”

Guan Huodong looked at the boatman with a grin, “Aren’t I just about to pull it in?”

In a blink of an eye, Li Banfeng disappeared again.

Guan Huodong was not flustered at all; he knew Li Banfeng was above him.

This is the Peeping Cultivation Technique, Cave Dark Candle Light.

Li Banfeng had left the ground, flying close to the top of the cave, leaving just a slight shadow on the sea surface. Even this trace couldn’t escape Guan Huodong’s eyes.

Guan Huodong remained composed, waiting for Li Banfeng to fly directly above him.

Reaching directly overhead, Li Banfeng touched the Jin Qian’er in his hand, ready to control the marker on Guan Huodong.

Guan Huodong acted first, diving into the sea, once again creating distance from Li Banfeng.

He always took the first step, could it be he had means to peer into people’s hearts?

Li Banfeng’s judgment was correct, the first time he went to the Beautiful Voice Record Player Shop, Ling Miaosheng had already heard the song in Li Qi’s heart.

This is the Peeping Cultivation Technique, look at the surface and know the inside, Guan Huodong could perceive Li Banfeng’s thoughts to a certain extent.

Li Banfeng was contemplating whether to continue fighting in the water or to temporarily retreat to the shore, when Guan Huodong took the opportunity to pull the fishing net from the water, spreading it in the air, and directly entrapping Li Banfeng along with the net into the water.

A fisherman nearby asked, “What did your net catch?”

“A bat!” Guan Huodong laughed, “There was a big bat in this cave just now!”

The fisherman was quite excited: “How big is the bat, over a hundred pounds? Why didn’t I see it just now!”

Bats, considered rare in the Underground City Sea Market, the bigger the size, the better the quality; catching one over a hundred pounds, if sold for a good price, means no worries for years, not needing to go to sea.

Guan Huodong looked at the water and smiled, “I’ll fish it up and take a look, it should be around a hundred pounds.”

Li Banfeng commented from the side, “I estimate not, it seems your net is empty!”

Guan Huodong was shocked; the fishing net had obviously trapped him just now, why was he able to escape?

Someone else might think the Traveling Cultivator acted fast, like the net was indeed empty earlier.

But what kind of vision did Guan Huodong have? Li Banfeng was netted, he saw it clearly, he could even recognize Li Banfeng’s face as he was pulled into the water. Guan Huodong really couldn’t understand how Li Banfeng got out of the net.

The situation was critical now, Li Banfeng was very close to Guan Huodong.

Guan Huodong shouted, “Seems like he really escaped the net, I’m going underwater to chase!”

He finished, dove into the water with a swift move.

“I’ll go check too!” Li Banfeng followed into the water, pursuing closely behind.

The boatman was stunned for a moment, wanting to go in the water to see too, when he suddenly heard someone shout, “Pack up, get on the boat!”

The boatman reluctantly walked to the boat, turning back to glance, finding the sea slightly red.

Was the bat injured?

It wasn’t the bat that was injured, it was Guan Huodong, Li Banfeng flicked a gold coin, and Guan Huodong spat out another mouthful of blood.

Escaping like this certainly wasn’t the way, Guan Huodong brought Li Banfeng next to a patch of rocks, with fishing lines and hooks set underneath.

Guan Huodong guarded the rocks, waiting for Li Banfeng to bite.

Such traps naturally couldn’t trouble Li Banfeng, Li Banfeng used the Path-breaking Technique to redirect the fish line hooks to both sides.

The traps beside the rocks weren’t the only ones; there was also an array beside Guan Huodong, if Li Banfeng stepped on it, a whirlpool would directly drag him to the seabed.

Just a stone’s throw away from the array, Li Banfeng halted his steps.

Guan Huodong had a bad feeling.

Li Banfeng rubbed the Jin Qian’er in his hand, and Guan Huodong spat another mouthful of blood.

The problem lies with this gold coin.

Guan Huodong was forced to leave the rocks, surfacing from the sea, with Li Banfeng pursuing leisurely, not too close to Guan Huodong.

On the beach ahead, there was a pitfall, Guan Huodong stood by it, but Li Banfeng didn’t step into the pit, instead, he rubbed the gold coin again.

Guan Huodong bore the severe pain, staggering as he led Li Banfeng onto an abandoned old ship.

The ship was large, the deck very spacious.

Guan Huodong stood at the bow, right hand behind him, lightly grasping a piece of cable.

That cable clearly had mechanisms inside, Li Banfeng wouldn’t approach easily, he rubbed the Jin Qian’er on the deck.

Guan Huodong clutched his chest, spitting another mouthful of blood onto the deck.

The blood flowed down the cracks in the wood, and Guan Huodong neither fled nor hid, standing right in front of Li Banfeng.

Was he giving up?

No!

Li Banfeng felt danger approaching, with a crack, the deck underfoot suddenly shattered.

Thought the trap was in the cable, but now it seemed the cable was a decoy, the real trap lay beneath Li Banfeng’s feet.

Beneath Li Banfeng’s feet was an array, triggered by Guan Huodong’s blood.

Li Banfeng had the Wind Riding Cloud Driving Skill, even if the deck underfoot shattered, logically Li Banfeng should have been able to fly.

But Li Banfeng struggled for a moment, yet still fell beneath the deck. Looking down, beneath his feet was a human face, bald and red-eyed, opening wide to swallow Li Banfeng whole.
