Chapter 1440: Chapter 1440: Casual Resolution, Change of Attitude Chapter 1440: Chapter 1440: Casual Resolution, Change of Attitude The Ai Family could only be considered a middle-ranking aristocratic family in the small city of Yulin City, owning three Divine Master-level sea ships and one Divine Emperor-level sea ship.

At this moment, the sea ship Ye Qiubai was on was one of the Divine Master-level sea ships.

Under the relentless pursuit of a Divine Emperor-level sea magical beast, within merely three breaths’ time, the sea ship had been intercepted!

Under the desperate gazes of everyone, a shadow broke through the surface of the sea, and a gigantic wave almost capsized the ship!

It was a flood dragon, possessing a trace of the Dragon Race bloodline, which could potentially transform into a dragon if granted a tremendous opportunity.

As a Divine Emperor-level flood dragon, even among other sea magical beasts of the same realm, it was a considerably powerful entity.

Ai Song was also stupefied, his eyes filled with despair, “It’s over…”

Ai Zhi watched this scene unfold, the face that was usually filled with laughter now turned gloomy; she then bitterly smiled at Ye Qiubai and said, “Brother Ye, it looks like this might be the end for us.”

For a moment, Ai Zhi recalled when she first met Ye Qiubai.

In a shop in Yulin City, Ai Zhi wanted to purchase a sword since she too was a sword cultivator.

However, Ai Zhi’s level as a sword cultivator wasn’t enough to realize that the sword in the shop had been tampered with; it was essentially a damaged weapon, hardly worth a few Primordial Stones.

At that time, Ye Qiubai appeared and exposed the matter; the shop owner, out of embarrassment and anger, wanted to have someone teach Ai Zhi and Ye Qiubai a lesson.

Ai Zhi was just at the Beginner Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, while the opponents were several individuals at the Intermediate Stage.

With Ye Qiubai’s help and after dealing with those people, it could be said that he also saved Ai Zhi.

Though it was a very clichéd and overused scenario,

it wasn’t enough to make Ai Zhi fall for Ye Qiubai right away, but she did feel some good impressions towards him.

Good impressions are not the same as liking someone.

Ai Zhi suggested she owed Ye Qiubai a favor, and he took the opportunity to request a trip to the Qingming Sea.

Reflecting on these scenes, the sense of fear in Ai Zhi’s heart was dispersed considerably; then, looking at Ye Qiubai, she smiled, “Brother Ye, I have a feeling I could fall for you, but it seems like we don’t have time for that anymore.”

Ye Qiubai seemed very calm, glanced at Ai Zhi, and said, “There is time, but liking someone is something to consider carefully.”

After speaking, Ye Qiubai casually tossed a dagger onto the deck, then took out a wooden sword and slowly walked towards the edge of the ship, passing by Ai Zhi, Ai Song, and the ten individuals of the Divine Master Realm.

Watching Ye Qiubai, who was holding a wooden sword and standing closest to the flood dragon,

Ai Song didn’t react but merely bitterly said, “Trying to struggle even as you face death? Kid Ye, this world isn’t filled with so many so-called miracles.”

The others continued to exhibit despair.

They didn’t believe a person aboard the ship who dissected sea magical beast corpses could be very strong.

After all, such individuals were the weakest aboard the ship.

Ye Qiubai didn’t speak but calmly looked at the flood dragon.

The flood dragon’s enormous eyes met Ye Qiubai’s, and his figure was also reflected in the pupil of the flood dragon.

Looking at that composed gaze, it seemed to have humiliated the flood dragon, which roared skyward in anger and opened its massive mouth, charging at Ye Qiubai!

At that moment, how frail and powerless did Ye Qiubai’s figure appear in front of the flood dragon?

Ai Zhi, watching Ye Qiubai’s back, ran towards him while shouting, “Brother Ye, retreat quickly!”

However, as she ran, Ai Zhi stopped; the next scene deeply imprinted itself in her mind.

She saw Ye Qiubai merely gently swing his wooden sword at the flood dragon.

A razor-sharp sword qi went unnoticed by everyone on the ship as it cleaved straight through the opened massive jaw of the flood dragon!

From the mouth, the sword qi pierced straight to the tail!

It split the flood dragon in half!

Both halves of the body fell into the sea, raising bursts of spray like a storm lashing against the deck and everyone on the ship…

Since the people on the ship lacked sufficient strength, they couldn’t clearly see the sword qi Ye Qiubai had slashed out.

Thus, what they witnessed was Ye Qiubai making a single slash, and then the flood dragon was cleaved into two halves…

What level of power was needed to achieve this?

And with a wooden sword, no less…

“Brother Ye… you?!” Ai Zhi’s face was dumbstruck, her pupils trembled, and she looked at Ye Qiubai in disbelief, unable even to formulate her question.

Ai Song and those ten Divine Masters were equally astonished.

It was as if they had witnessed something terrifying.

Could someone who slaughtered an Emperor Rank flood dragon with a wooden sword be treated by them as a weakling to dissect?

For a moment, Ai Song wanted to die.

Thinking back to when Ai Zhi kept pestering Ye Qiubai, igniting his jealous rage and leading him to speak many sarcastic words.

This desire for death intensified…

Unknowingly, they had provoked such a powerful figure.

This young man surnamed Ye had probably reached the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm…

That was a status reserved for the top figures of Yulin City.

A power only wielded by the rulers of Yulin City’s first-rate factions.

With this thought, Ai Song rolled his throat, swallowed, and quickly jogged behind Ye Qiubai, anxiously saying, “Sen… Senior, about what happened earlier, I hope you can forgive my rudeness and just let it pass.”

While speaking, he even knelt down, burying his head in the ground, his body trembling slightly.

Ye Qiubai turned around, his expression indifferent as he sheathed his wooden sword, then took deliberate steps forward.

Hearing the footsteps drawing nearer, Ai Song’s body trembled more violently.

The rhythmic footsteps sounded like the Grim Reaper calling for his soul, echoing incessantly in Ai Song’s ears.

However, as the footsteps drew infinitely close, they gradually receded behind him.

Ai Song was startled and hurriedly lifted his head to look behind him, only to see Ye Qiubai walking past him without a word, silently continuing to dissect the magical fish.

Ye Qiubai completely ignored him and didn’t seem interested in pursuing the matter.

Ai Song breathed a sigh of relief but quickly ran over to Ye Qiubai, snatching the dagger from his hand and apologetically said, “Senior, how can we allow you to do such work? Let the subordinates handle it. You should just rest.”

Ye Qiubai, seeing this, said nothing and walked into the cabin of the ship.

Ai Song took a deep breath and then turned to the others, “What are you staring at? Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, get the bodies up for dissection! Remember, prepare all the materials from that flood dragon to be sent to Senior Ye!”

Inside the cabin, Ye Qiubai took out the Qingyun Order and frowned slightly, “It’s moved again? This time it seems to be heading to a deeper part of the sea…”

While contemplating how to continue his pursuit, a knock sounded at the door.

“Ye… Senior, may I come in?”
