Chapter 105 He will come across the sea
Nighttime, Satsuma Domain, Kagoshima beach.
On the beach, a huge blue peacock was breathing heavily with its beak open, just like a dog.
And standing next to it were a man and a woman.
"Lord Taiyi, are you really going to that mysterious island?"
Looking at Taiichi's back, bathed in silver moonlight, Tamayo clasped her hands to her chest and asked worriedly.
Last night, he and Taiichi rode on the back of a blue peacock and flew directly into Edo Castle.
Looking down at the building, which was only the size of a fingertip, I was trembling all over as I was going up in the air for the first time.
But she thought that was exciting enough, little did she know that there was something even more exciting to come!
Taiichi directly ordered her to use her Blood Demon Art, which knocked down every human she encountered. Finally, she rushed to the Honmaru Palace and hypnotized Tokugawa Ienari!
My God! This is the Tokugawa Shogun who rules the entire country!
When Tamayo held her face in her hands, her mind blank, Taichi's next words made her feel as if she had entered another world.
Paradise Island? Immortality? Elixir of immortality? Immortals?
Isn't this something from myths and legends?
After Taiichi obtained this information, he took her and set off for the Satsuma Domain.
At night, I sat on the peacock's back, rested my head against Taiyi's back, and hugged his waist tightly.
During the day, it was locked in a box and protected by Taiichi.
The peacock was just not up to the task; it couldn't fly for long before it had to stop and rest, and now it was so exhausted that it collapsed on the ground.
Although Master Taiyi would threaten the peacock from time to time, saying that if he dared to slack off again, he would stew him.
If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, Tamayo would have really hoped that Peacock could slack off a little more, since this was her first time spending time with Taiichi!
Thinking of this, Tamayo's expression suddenly changed, her brows furrowed, and she asked with even greater worry:
"Lord Taiyi, Peacock is exhausted, but that Paradise Island is still a short distance away..."
Tamayo paused, as if she had thought of something, and her face turned deathly pale. Her voice trembled as she said:
"Paradise Island is 1000 kilometers away from here, Lord Taiichi!"
"How are you going to get there now? Without a boat, it's simply impossible!"
With such a long distance and no boat, Peacock's stamina wouldn't even last halfway. She really couldn't think of a way to get Taiyi to set off right now.
However, through spending time together, she also came to understand Taiyi's personality and work style, which is that he always keeps his word!
The sea peaks roar, and the waves surge.
Upon hearing Tamayo's words, Taiichi's brows furrowed, and he lowered his head, gripping the hilt of his sword with his left hand, as he stepped forward into the sea.
After traveling for two days and two nights, he arrived in Kagoshima at top speed.
Further ahead lies the boundless sea, and on the other side of the sea lies A-Xia, whose fate is unknown.
"Ah Xia..."
Looking up at the pitch-black sea, there was no light and no outline in sight. It was as if a giant beast was lurking in the distance, ready to swallow all those who entered into the bottomless abyss.
The sound of wind and waves, seemingly coming from the abyss, made Taiyi's breathing feel oppressive and suffocating.
Heaven and earth are silent, but their majesty has never faded.
Even by boat, with favorable winds the whole way, it would take nearly half a month to travel a thousand kilometers.
“A-Xia and I left Edo at the same time. If we had gone normally to get to Kagoshima, it would have taken at least ten days. Then, it would have taken another half month to get to Gokuraku Island by boat.”
"It has been about a month since I returned from Himeji Domain."
"In other words, even if A-Xia and the others have arrived at Paradise Island, not many days have passed."
"So, she must still be alive!"
"Time waits for no one. If I can get there before dawn, I might be able to save A-Xia."
“But taking a boat is definitely too late.” Taiyi looked around and shook his head helplessly when he saw the peacock, who was so tired that he was about to faint. “Even a peacock can’t fly that far. Besides, the middle is all seawater. If we don’t save our strength for the return trip, we’ll just die.”
"Lord Tai."
Seeing Taiichi's furrowed brow, Tamayo slowly walked to his side, put her arms around his, and said gently:
"Haste makes waste. You've done your best. Why don't we find a boat now and set off tonight? Maybe we can get there sooner."
"I believe in Miss A-Xia. Good people are always blessed. She will surely be able to wait until we get there."
Did you try your best? Good people are always blessed.
Taiyi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly raised his head. As he did so, veins resembling vines began to appear all over his body.
"Lord Taiyi! You are amazing!"
Hiss~ Whoosh~
A wisp of white smoke shot out from Taiyi's mouth, like a sword of energy, and his eyebrows turned red at that moment.
It's not a special effect; it's due to the intense circulation of qi and blood, causing blood to gush out through the pores.
"Try our best? No, far from it."
Taiichi pulled his forearm out from between Tamayo's hands, then gently patted her shoulder, signaling her to leave.
Then he suddenly opened his eyes, and the three-colored energy began to overflow from his seven orifices, eventually dissipating into the surrounding air.
"We cultivators contend with Heaven, with Earth, and with man."
"Whether it's good or bad fortune, it doesn't depend on fate, it depends solely on oneself!"
"What does a thousand miles matter, as long as I want to go..."
"The road is right under your feet!"
boom!
Taiyi's aura erupted, and the surging true energy directly pushed back the oncoming sea breeze and the waves in front of him.
Tamayo raised her arms to cover her face and took several steps back, only able to squint through the gaps to see Taiichi's long hair flying wildly and his clothes billowing.
"You want it!!!"
boom!
A dazzling white light transformed into a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky. Then, two streams of energy, one red and one blue, intertwined and climbed upwards around the pillar. At this moment, Tai turned his head to the side, grinned, and said with a sinister smile:
"Find a place to hide, I'll be going first!"
A flash of white light, and we bravely forge ahead.
The surging sea was split in two instantly, like a hot knife through butter, and only slowly healed after the figures disappeared.
Tamayo stood there, her eyes wide, staring incredulously in the direction Taiichi had gone.
No matter how many thoughts she had, she never expected that the man in front of her would choose to travel by sea!
"Lord Taiichi, is this your power?"
"Must we overcome all obstacles, heaven and earth, to reach our destination?"
"Such magnanimity is truly admirable."
Tamayo bent down, sitting on the beach, and slowly lowered her head towards the white orb of light that was gradually disappearing into the darkness in the distance. She sincerely said:
"I wish you good luck in martial arts!"
