River problem

The harbor was bustling when news spread about Fang An going to set sail to find the catfish demon. The merchants became enthusiastic when they found out that Fang An was a titled swordsman.

"The Jade Faced Swordsman of the Valley of the Hundred Swords, to think I could see him in this place!"

"I have long heard of Swordsman Fang, he is so young yet so talented."

"Look at his courage, he is a true warrior."

Xiao Chen's ears were a little itchy because all these merchants were praising his teacher but he understood the reason they were all saying that was hoping Fang An could solve their problems.

Fang An got on a small boat and started rowing. Xiao Chen along with everyone else looked at him with all kinds of feelings, Xiao Chen felt quite worried.

"I believe Master has the ability to deal with demons but water creatures like this are hard to deal with in his realm…" Xiao Chen could only hope that everything would be fine.

Fang An kept rowing, he had crossed half of the river but nothing happened. Fang An stopped his boat in the middle of the river and started looking around with sword in hand. Fang An waited for a while but nothing happened.

"Could it be that the demon has left?"

"Could be, this river is so long, there's no reason for him to continue living around here."

Several people started discussing when they saw the river in front of them was so calm. Xiao Chen could hear that there was a ship owner intending to start crossing passengers.

"Luckily is no-…" Xiao Chen was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when suddenly the river in front of him shook violently and created waves.

Many people became hysterical and moved away from the river bank but Xiao Chen remained where he was. Xiao Chen's gaze was fixated on Fang An's boat.

Even though the river was suddenly filled with waves, Fang An's boat remained steady and did not move from its original position because Fang An used his inner strength to do so.

Suddenly something jumped out of the river, everyone could see a white catfish that was about four meters long.

"This catfish is really a stealth!" Xiao Chen's expression became serious, he had killed many demons in his previous life so he could recognize them at a glance, what worried him was that the Catfish was a 100 year Demon.

As far as Xiao Chen knew, the Demons were divided into several categories namely Ordinary Demons who had less than 100 circles of internal strength and then followed by 100 year old Demons who had at least 100 circles of internal strength.

Higher Demons are 500 year Demon, 1000 year Demon, then Demon King and Queen.

"Master has the ability to slay a 100 year Demon but his range of maneuvers is so limited that his position is at a disadvantage…" Xiao Chen became more and more anxious and started to think of ways to deal with it.

In fact, Fang An is not afraid of a demon trying to sink his boat. Fang An poured internal energy into his blade, causing the sword in his hand to glow blue.

Fang An's sword light was even visible to those in the harbour. Xiao Chen frowned because he recognized the sword technique Fang An used was Blue Lightning Swordsmanship, Fang An's strongest move.

"The situation is more serious than I thought if Master directly uses the strongest sword technique that drains so much of his inner strength…" Xiao Chen then approached Grandpa who was passing the boat to Fang An, "Grandfather, can you please prepare a large number of spears? Besides that I need another boat."

Xiao Chen took out the few gold coins that Fang An had given him, "Do it quickly."

The old man looked at Xiao Chen in confusion, he didn't want to put Xiao Chen in danger but he knew Fang An needed help. The old man didn't accept the money that Xiao Chen offered but he called his men to prepare Xiao Chen's request.

"Prepare the Spring Sun to set sail!" cried Grandpa loudly.

The grandfather's workers looked at him in disbelief. Later, Xiao Chen only found out that the Spring Sun was the name of the largest ship owned by his grandfather.

"I can't let you go alone, I and my people will also come with you." The grandfather patted Xiao Chen's shoulder.

"Grandfather need not worry, I will ensure that you and your people are not in any danger." Xiao Chen said with a faint smile.

The other boat owners' gazes fell on Xiao Chen and the old man, and they also looked at Fang An who was facing the giant catfish.

When the Catfish tried to attack the boat, Fang An would jump up and give the big fish a slash. It's just that each of Fang An's slashes didn't cause any deep wounds even though he used his inner strength and high level sword skills.

"We will not stay silent either! Prepare the ship!"

"Heh, Outsiders are fighting alone, maybe we can just watch, prepare the ship!"

"If you look around again, this catfish isn't scary, it even looks delicious. Today we are going to eat catfish, prepare a boat!"

One by one the big ship owners started preparing their ships for sailing. Previously they were both frightened by the fish demon but when they realized that as long as they were united they could fight back, their courage emerged after all this time they were accompanied by a high level warrior, Fang An.

The merchants looked at each other, they felt that it was best not to remain silent. If the stealth is not overcome then their losses will also continue to grow.

"All of you, help them deal with this demon." A merchant commanded his guards.

"You guys too, the past week you've only eaten and slept, it's time to move your bodies." Another Merchant said to his bodyguard.

One by one the merchants ordered their escorts to join the battle. Some of the bodyguards gulped, not expecting them to get involved while others looked excited, they had been enthusiastic since just now to see Fang An take on the demon alone.

"Young warrior, come aboard my ship. My men have loaded the spears you requested." The ship owner's grandfather took Xiao Chen on board with him.

While on the boat, Xiao Chen could see around two hundred spears lined up neatly. The quality is not good because this spear is used to catch fish, not defend yourself.

Xiao Chen saw that most of the crew of this Grandfather's ship had little martial knowledge.

"In my youth, the waters here weren't safe and there were lots of pirates. We learned a bit of self-defense to protect our efforts, even though we can't deal with this low-ability stealth but I hope it means something." Grandpa said with a big smile.
