Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 289 Captain: When did you think I hadn't used Feather Dust? (Aizen's face)

Chapter 289 Captain: When did you think I hadn't used Feather Dust? (Aizen's face)

The situation became awkward, as Mo Ze was worried about Jiao Qiu's safety and didn't want to leave alone. After all, he had indeed found a way out after his reconnaissance, but unfortunately, he was just an assassin and didn't have the strength of Fei Xiao to rescue Jiao Qiu single-handedly.

Therefore, he needed help, and Captain Danheng, who was currently acting with Han Ya, was his best choice.

After helping the captain and his crew fend off a group of Bu Liren ambushes, Bakuze appeared. After Bakuze clearly explained his identity and the purpose of seeking help, the captain and his crew readily agreed.

After all, their main purpose in coming here was to stop Hu Lei's escape, and it would be best if they could have someone who knew the situation down there to assist them.

After all, Han Ya didn't go down at the time. This kind of thing is usually handled by Xue Yi. So when Han Ya learned that something had happened down there, he immediately wanted to go down to check on Xue Yi's condition.

Based on her understanding of Xueyi, Xueyi would usually risk her life to stop it in such a situation, because her body had long since dissipated and the body she used to walk in the world was just a puppet, and if it was damaged, it could be replaced directly.

However, Han Ya didn't like Xue Yi's attitude, because in her view, it was an attitude of disregard for her own life. Once Xue Yi got used to this, she was afraid that she would treat it as a normal thing, and in future missions, her body might never be able to return intact.

Most importantly, Xueyi's lack of care for her body has already aroused the dissatisfaction of the Bureau of Crafts, since it is the Bureau of Crafts that is responsible for manufacturing and repairing puppet bodies. Manufacturing a puppet body is not a cheap matter in itself, let alone Xueyi's puppet body, which is not an ordinary puppet body.

In order to satisfy Yuki's fighting style, which almost disregards her own physical condition, Kozo spent a lot of effort on the durability of the machine. Even so, Yuki always returned with injuries of all sizes.

To this end, Kozo has upgraded the materials used time and time again. In order to ensure that the new materials do not affect the movement of the snowsuit, they always conduct several tests before installation until the snowsuit user is satisfied.

But before long, Xueyi's body had to be sent to the Engineering Department for another major overhaul. Over time, the cost of the repairs has been gradually increasing until now, to the point that even Han Ya shudders after seeing the bill.

Furthermore, since the Ten Kings Division is an independent entity from the Immortal Boat General's jurisdiction, all departments of the Immortal Boat are required to unconditionally support all actions of the Ten Kings Division. This is why the maintenance cost of Xueyi's body has been kept to a minimum. One can imagine how unpleasant the Construction Division's expression is every time they see Xueyi's body, which needs major repairs.

Although Han Ya already knew Xue Yi's fate before setting off, she still held onto a sliver of hope that the repair costs wouldn't be too high this time.

Led by Mo Ze and Han Ya, the group quickly arrived at the bottom of the Netherworld Prison, where they found Xue Yi's lifeless body at the entrance of the cell where Hu Lei was imprisoned.

Seeing that Xueyi had completely lost her breath, Han Ya was already used to it, and at the same time explained to everyone why she was not sad.

Aside from the fact that Han Ya had already seen many times that Xue Yi returned only as a corpse, there was another reason: she had taken medicine that could cure the Demonic Yin Body in order to solve the problem of the Demonic Yin Body.

The drug had a side effect: it would erase the user's emotions, which was why she had already developed feelings for it.

However, the Netherworld Prison has now been sealed off by Bu Liren using an unknown method, and all messages cannot be sent out. Logically, Xueyi's consciousness should still be nearby.

As expected, the group heard Xueyi's voice nearby, but it sounded very faint and intermittent, probably because of the severe damage she was in.

Eventually, the group followed the sound and found a badly damaged mechanical bird. According to Yuki's own account, she had urgently transferred her consciousness to this mechanical bird just before her body was about to die.

Afterwards, everyone learned more specific information from Xueyi, so they began to pursue Hulei, while Hanya took the mechanical bird containing Xueyi's consciousness back to the top floor, which is currently the only place in the Prison that has not fallen. At the same time, they can also repair the mechanical bird that Xueyi is currently possessing so that she can send out the situation inside, at least in this way the outside world can be prepared.

As for why they didn't directly repair the body, just like mentioned before, Xueyi's body can be considered the greatest masterpiece of the Craftsmanship Bureau, and the Prison of the Netherworld does not have the ability to repair this body.

Furthermore, although Xueyi also has a spare body, that body is not currently in the Youqiu Prison. Just a few days ago, that body was sent to the Gongzao Division for routine maintenance and inspection, and it has not yet been returned.

Furthermore, since the Prison of Darkness is currently in a completely closed state, even the most basic communication is impossible, let alone the transmission of consciousness. There is no other way but to make do with Xueyi temporarily using the body of this mechanical bird to send a message.

Moreover, using the body of the Machine Bird is not without its advantages. At the very least, Snow Robe can use the special passages of those Machine Birds to escape quickly and secretly. After all, now is a race against time, and only by calling for reinforcements before Hu Lei escapes can the safety of the outside world be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

Unfortunately, Hure knew he couldn't waste time here, so he didn't linger and headed straight for the exit.

Just as the captain and his men were about to catch up, Hu Lei had already arrived outside, and the gates of the Prison of Darkness were slowly closing under the manipulation of their inside agents.

In desperation, Danheng summoned his spear and hurled it at Hulei's face, but it was caught tightly by the closed door in the next second.

Dan Heng wasn't the only one standing nearby. The captain took out the Heavenly Fire Judgment, silently apologized to the Immortal Ship in his heart, and then slashed fiercely at the gate of the Netherworld Prison.

Suddenly, a burst of blazing fire erupted from the Heavenly Fire Judgment, and the intense heat instantly melted a large hole in half of the gate.

Hu Lei, who had already turned away, stopped in his tracks due to this strange phenomenon. In his eyes, the gate of the Netherworld Prison first appeared as a red dot with high temperature. Then, the red dot rapidly expanded until it burned out a large hole that could be passed through.

Before Hulei could react, the captain rushed forward and swung his sword at Hulei's face.

Unfortunately, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and Hu Lei easily grabbed the blade of the Heavenly Fire Judgment sword with a casual grab.

But the burning sensation from his hand the next second forced him to quickly fling the captain and sword away, and he laughed as he looked at his charred hand.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that the helpers this immortal ship found would possess such a scorching greatsword. What do you call it over there?"

After landing and regaining his balance, the captain wiped the cold sweat from his brow and forced a brave smile.

"My name doesn't matter. Of course, you can call me Captain. I'm just someone who's taking you back!"

"Hmph! Talk is cheap, you brat. I've seen plenty of trash like you who are clearly terrified but claim they aren't. If you know what's good for you, hand over your weapon obediently and I might give you a quick death. Otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

It's obvious that Hu Lei has his eye on the Heavenly Fire Judgment. After all, the former Luo Fu Sword Master Jing Liu who captured him was a master of ice. Although Hu Lei has imagined fighting Jing Liu in prison for many years, he has also defeated Jing Liu in imagined battles many times.

But that's just a hypothetical scenario. In reality, there's no way to deal with Mirror Flow's bone-chilling ice and thunder. If you had a weapon that could just counter Mirror Flow's ice, that would be perfect.

"I'm sorry, but this weapon was personally handed to me by a worthy opponent. How could I possibly hand it over so easily!"

"You mean you don't want to hand it over?"

"Isn't that obvious? If you want it, you little brat, come and take it!"

"You little brat!" Everyone present looked at the captain in shock. No one could have imagined that the captain would still be so good at talking when facing an opponent like Hu Lei.

"Hmph hmph hahaha!"

Hu Lei burst into laughter.

"I never imagined that after I, Hu Lei, have been imprisoned on the Immortal Ship for so many years, the outside world would have completely forgotten the fear I instilled in you. Good! Very good! You ignorant brat, I must admit you have indeed successfully enraged me!"

"Commander, this place is not safe to stay for long. Perhaps we should..." Lu Jun suggested to Hu Lei, but Hu Lei interrupted him.

"Of course I know what you're saying, but since they've said that, wouldn't it be embarrassing for me not to fight them alone? None of you should make a move. I'm just getting out of prison and I need an opponent to practice on and have a good meal with. Kid, since you're so reckless, I'll start with you!"

After saying that, Hu Lei locked onto the captain, and the next second, he released the wolf poison that could instill fear in anyone.

In just a moment, the captain was hit.

At this moment, in his eyes, Hu Lei had been transformed into an even more terrifying existence, but who was the captain? He would not succumb to this. He took a deep breath, discarded his useless emotions, and began to silently recite the incantation of the Tai Xu Sword Qi.

Before long, the captain had calmed down and was no longer afraid.

"Oh?"

Hu Lei looked at the captain, who was calm at this moment, with great interest.

"I didn't expect you to be able to remove the effects of my wolfsbane so quickly. It seems you're not completely without strength. But, doing this alone is far from enough!"

Before he finished speaking, Hu Lei had already arrived in front of the captain with his scimitar, and then struck the captain's Heavenly Judgment with a powerful slash.

In an instant, the sharp clash of swords echoed all around, the captain's feet sank, and cracks appeared on the floor beneath his feet. A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of the captain's mouth.

It was clear that this single attack had already caused considerable damage to the captain, but unfortunately, Hu Lei did not intend to waste any more time here.

Because he knew that the more time he wasted here, the worse it would be for him, he put in another effort.

This time, the captain was even knocked away by this enormous force, and Hu Lei pushed off with both feet and instantly caught up with the captain who was flying at low altitude.

Another sword strike, this time aimed at the captain's waist. It was foreseeable that if the captain couldn't react in time, he would face being cut in two at the waist.

Of course, the experience the captain gained over the years through training with the Herrscher of Knowledge and other individuals, as well as numerous life-and-death experiences, was not to be underestimated. Without the slightest hesitation, the captain prepared to respond once he understood the other party's intentions.

This time, the captain was slammed directly into the ground. The enormous impact forced him to cough up blood, and his consciousness began to blur.

Seeing this, Dan Heng hurriedly tried to go up and help, but unfortunately he was held back by a large number of Bu Li people. On the other side, Mo Ze was too busy covering Jiao Qiu to pay attention to the situation here.

Through the blurry vision, Hure's tall figure appeared above the captain.

The captain, already aching and weak all over, could hardly defend against Hulei's next attack. Hulei raised his scimitar high above his head and slashed down at the captain's neck.

Despite the pain, the captain held the Heavenly Judgment in front of him at the last moment to block the attack, but at the cost of his body being completely embedded in the ground. However, Hu Lei's attack did not end there.

Each attack caused the captain's body to sink a little deeper, and the captain was also suppressed by this enormous force, leaving him powerless to fight back.

Ultimately, with the Heavenly Judgment being blasted away, the captain's life also came to an end.

Hu Lei raised the captain's head and let out a triumphant wolf howl. The other Bu Li people responded with howls in response.

Dan Heng's eyes widened in fury, and his aura began to expand, instantly blowing away the Bu Li people around him with a powerful shockwave.

Sensing Dan Heng's surging aura, Hu Lei also stopped his triumphant roar and turned to look at Dan Heng, who had transformed into the form of a dragon lord.

"You actually, you actually!"

"You look like this..." Hu Lei suddenly remembered something and burst into laughter, "So that's it, you're the reincarnation of Dan Feng from back then! I never thought that you, who were banished from the Immortal Ship for eternity, would still have the nerve to come back?"

"Shut up!"

Dan Heng roared, and the next second he activated the precious pearl in his hand. A dragon made of water appeared behind him and then charged toward Hu Lei with astonishing momentum.

Hu Lei was immediately knocked back several meters by the water dragon, and Dan Heng's voice slowly reached his ears after he regained his footing.

"Cang Long Zhuo Shi!"

Hu Lei, clutching the spot where he had been hit, chuckled and said, "Interesting! This is getting interesting! Let's continue the fight!"

After saying that, Hu Lei's body began to emit wisps of ominous red smoke, and his aura rose to its peak.

Dan Heng, who had regained some of his composure, broke out in a cold sweat. He knew Hu Lei's current state.

This is a state called Moon Frenzy, a state of madness that only occurs in Buli people during a full moon. When in Moon Frenzy, a Buli person's combat power will surge, but their rationality will also disappear, turning them into a frenzied beast that cannot distinguish friend from foe.

However, judging from Hu Lei's appearance, it seems that his rationality has not disappeared. In other words, Hu Lei is now controlling his body, which is in a state of madness, with his own will!

However, at that moment, a familiar greatsword pierced through Hulei's chest from behind. The scorching heat instantly carbonized Hulei's wound, and Hulei's Moon Frenzy state was also dispelled. It was only then that the captain's voice rang out from behind Hulei.
