Chapter 169: Chapter 93: Wind Thunder Archery! Blue Rain Sea Territory!_2

“Hmm, my name is Li Tailai, and it’s my first time going out to sea,” Su Changkong nodded, giving a false name.

“Then you must be careful later on!”

The middle-aged man offered a reminder before falling silent once more.

“Whoosh!”

Giant Whale Gang martial artists rowed the oars, and four fast boats swiftly headed toward the thick fog in the distance.

It was dawn, and the sky was still dark. Mist churned over the sea. Sailing out a certain distance, Su Changkong could make out the silhouette of another ship moving slowly with the breeze in the midst of the fog.Most of the people on this ship were still resting, seemingly after having sailed for several days, and there were men in uniform gray clothing keeping watch on deck, all looking listless.

Life aboard a ship can be exceedingly tedious.

The four fast boats silently approached the ship, and as they drew near, the leaders of each boat gave a hand signal.

The next second, everyone acted at once, swinging chains; one end of the ropes had metal hooks, designed specifically for boarding ships!

“Thud thud thud!”

Powered by the martial artists’ strong arms, the hooks flew out, latched onto the edge of the ship’s deck, and penetrated into the wood to secure themselves.

Then, one after another, the Giant Whale Gang martial artists, using both their hands and feet and even more agile than apes, climbed up toward the deck.

Some martial artists jumped directly into the water, approached the hull, and climbed up the side.

Those who took part in such an operation were all experts above the Strength Refinement realm, including some elite fighters who had achieved Great Achievement in Body Refinement!

Martial artists climbed onto the ship, one after another.

Su Changkong quietly waited until everyone from the fast boats had left before he finally made his move, his legs slightly bent as he powered up for a leap.

“Bang!”

The quick boat beneath Su Changkong shook and trembled from the force of his leap, creating ripples on the water. Meanwhile, he leapt high into the air, covering several meters in a single bound, like a tiger leaping over a gorge, and landed steadily on the deck of the ship.

“Body Refinement Great Achievement?”

One of the Giant Whale Gang martial artists witnessed the scene and was inwardly shocked. Only someone with Body Refinement Great Achievement could possess such explosive power and leaping ability. Even within the Giant Whale Gang, such an individual would be considered elite, and if they progressed further, they would even be qualified to hold the position of Deputy Hall Leader!

“Who goes there?”

The commotion of boarding the ship alarmed the men in gray, who shouted in challenge.

Suddenly, from the cabins where the crew had been sleeping or resting, crew members burst forth, armed with swords, ready to confront the boarding martial artists of the Giant Whale Gang!

“Gentlemen, what’s the meaning of this unannounced visit?” one man with a beard that suggested he might be the captain called out apprehensively, aware that these intruders who boarded silently were not ordinary folk.

“Whose merchant fleet are you from? We are martial artists from the Giant Whale Gang, and we need to verify your identities!”

A member of the Giant Whale Gang declared sternly.

If the people on this ship were merchants who had paid protection money to the Giant Whale Gang, all would be well, but if they were sea pirates…

“Giant Whale Gang?”

The bearded man and the other crew members’ faces turned pale at that name. Everyone in the Blue Rain Sea knew of the Giant Whale Gang’s fearsome reputation.

“Kill them!”

Soon the bearded man’s face showed a ruthless expression, and with a loud shout, he acknowledged that since these were martial artists from the Giant Whale Gang, a peaceful resolution was impossible; the only option was to eliminate them and sail away from this place as quickly as they could.

“Kill them all!”

The members of the Giant Whale Gang, too, wore grim expressions, realizing that the ship’s people were afraid of having their identities checked and were almost certainly sea pirates who preyed on passing ships in the Blue Rain Sea. There was no need to show mercy!

“Kill!”

Both parties drew their weapons; there were no more words, just the start of a desperate fight to the death.

A gray-clad pirate lunged for Su Changkong, slashing with a blade that brought a fierce gust of wind, his face twisted malevolently.

“Boom!”

But the next second, Su Changkong raised his leg and kicked out. The pirate was struck in the abdomen and sent flying back even faster than he came. His innards burst and his bones twisted, colliding with several other pirates behind him, leaving them in a heap of broken bodies.

“Too weak…”

Su Changkong found it somewhat dull, barely able to muster any interest in joining the fight. Most of these sea pirates were only in the Strength Refinement realm and of limited strength. Only the bearded leader had some ability, having reached the Divine Power realm and was pushing back three Giant Whale Gang disciples in retreat.

However, among these elite members of the Giant Whale Gang, there were martial artists at the Divine Bravery Stage with Body Refinement Great Achievement!

“Splurt!”

One of the Divine Bravery Stage martial artists made his move and immediately overpowered the bearded man, and within seven or eight moves, he was beheaded!

“The leader is dead!”

“Run for it!”

The remaining pirates, already suffering a one-sided massacre, realized their own leader had been so easily killed by the enemy, and panic set in. Many chose to jump into the water.

But they were far from shore; those who jumped into the water would end up either starving or drowning.

The battle didn’t last long before it was over.

“Notify the Young Gang Leader, we’ve dealt with it! Everyone else, search the ship and see if there are any survivors!”

The Giant Whale Gang elite with Body Refinement Great Achievement immediately ordered.

“Yes!”

Everyone nodded in understanding and began scouring the ship for valuables.

According to the rules of the Giant Whale Gang, not only were there rewards for killing pirates based on headcount, but those who fought on the front lines like they did also had the right to choose from the spoils of war, which was why they were so eager to be there first!

Su Changkong joined the others in searching the ship and ended up finding twenty or thirty taels of silver. Of course, this amount meant little to him.
