Chapter 174: Chapter 95: Shattered Soul Hand Li Hun! Murderous Intent Skyrocketing!_1

“Those below the Qi Blood Three Transformation can hardly withstand my single strike!”

Su Changkong was also satisfied with his progress these days. His blade technique was characterized by a strike meant to kill, and those who couldn’t withstand his blade only had death awaiting them.

Carrying two blades with him, Su Changkong kept one charged with Blade Qi, unsheathing it only when necessary, while the other was used for common battles!

“Despicable!”

Just as Su Changkong had slain Xu Jiashi, an angry roar came from a distance!

It was a significant change in the battle between Sikong Zhan and Wang Tianyuan.

“Crack!”

Both sides had unleashed the power of their Qi and Blood, swirling the smoke of battle sky-high. However, amidst the fierce combat, a roar like thunder came through the air, and before the sound arrived, an arrow wrapped in thunder and wind shot forth, faster than the speed of sound.

It was Sikong Huang, who had been watching from afar, searching for the right moment to strike.

“Clang!”

Wang Tianyuan sensed the lethal threat. He fiercely swung his blood-red curved blade, striking the charging arrow, emitting a tremendous clash of metal, shattering and breaking the arrow that had been gathering force for a long time.

Nevertheless, the corresponding shock made one of Wang Tianyuan’s arms go numb; Sikong Huang’s long-prepared arrow was indeed terrifying!

“Hiss!”

Sikong Zhan didn’t miss this golden opportunity and pressed the attack. The massive Sawtooth Blade violently came crashing down as if a shark was biting. Despite Wang Tianyuan’s desperate evasion, one of his arms wielding a blade was still cut off at the shoulder.

“You lowlife!”

Wang Tianyuan, sweating coldly in pain, cursed with bulging eyes. He had been fighting Sikong Zhan, but Sikong Huang’s arrow from a distance tipped the balance. Sikong Zhan’s blade had decided the outcome by severing his arm!

This made Wang Tianyuan extremely furious and unwilling. He believed that he had a great chance of victory in a life-and-death struggle with Sikong Zhan!

But Sikong Zhan sneered, “This is a war of life and death, not a private sparring match!”

Sikong Zhan had no intention of engaging in a one-on-one duel with Wang Tianyuan to determine the victor. The longer the fight dragged on, the more potential losses for his side. Allowing Sikong Huang to strike from the shadows to jointly kill Wang Tianyuan was the best strategy to minimize losses!

Despite Wang Tianyuan’s desperate resistance, having lost an arm, he undeniably was at half of his combat strength and was beheaded by Sikong Zhan after a few exchanges.

“Wang Tianyuan is dead!”

Holding Wang Tianyuan’s head, which stared with unseeing eyes, Sikong Zhan bellowed loudly.

“The leader… dead?”

The remaining Sea Pirates, upon knowing the outcome of Wang Tianyuan’s demise, instantly showed drastic changes in their expressions, and despair crept into their eyes. The blow to their morale was imaginable!

“The Young Gang Leader has killed their chief!”

“Kill! Slay them all! A hundred taels of silver for each head!”

The rest of the Giant Whale Gang martial artists, upon hearing this news, had their eyes turn red with excitement, blood boiling, morale soaring like a rainbow, slaughtering the Sea Pirates.

For each Sea Pirate killed, there was real silver as a reward.

The Giant Whale Gang originally had a numerical advantage, and the Sea Pirates could stand their ground for a short period with sheer bravery, but now with their morale collapsed, it turned into an utterly one-sided massacre.

“Ah!”

The air was filled with continuous piercing screams. The Sea Pirates had nowhere to escape, and the Giant Whale Gang had no intention of taking prisoners.

For one thing, these fierce Sea Pirates were harmful if left alive, and secondly, capturing prisoners would mean the expense of keeping them alive. Killing them outright was the most trouble-free solution and would also amplify the Giant Whale Gang’s fearsome reputation!

“Mercy! Please have mercy! I am willing to surrender!”

No mercy was granted, no quarter given. Some Sea Pirates gave up resisting in hopes of survival but were nonetheless mercilessly slain.

Seeing this scene, Su Changkong felt no sympathy for these Sea Pirates. Sea Pirates were pirates who robbed merchant ships at sea. When merchant ships encountered Sea Pirates, their fate was mostly the destruction of the ship and loss of lives, no different from bandits and brigands who murdered and looted.

If one chose to live by pillaging, one must be prepared to pay with their life!

Before long, the screams faded, and the ground was strewn with bodies, the blood staining and mixing with the sand, turning a reddish hue.

“The operation went smoothly.”

Su Changkong let out a sigh of relief. This operation went exceptionally smoothly, catching the Heaven Source Sea Bandit Group off guard, and the Giant Whale Gang clinched victory with minimal cost!

“Check the battlefield. This Wang Tianyuan was the Ninth Grand Thief and must have been rich!”

Then Sikong Zhan prepared to order a search of the island for the wealth plundered by the Heaven Source Sea Bandit Group.

“Wuu wuu wuu!”

At that moment, urgent bugle sounds came from afar. The sound was loud and piercing, unsettling to those who heard it!

“An enemy attack?”

Upon hearing the bugle sounds, everyone’s complexion changed. It was a warning from the Giant Whale Gang disciples left on the warships, indicating an emergency!

“Quick! To the warships!”

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Sikong Zhan made a split-second decision, no longer caring about the treasures left by the Heaven Source Group, and shouted loudly.

“An enemy attack? What’s the situation?”

All Giant Whale Gang disciples, disregarding their exhaustion, rushed towards where the warships were docked at full speed.

If enemies indeed were approaching, they had to get on the ships. If the ships were destroyed, they would be stranded on the island, doomed without a doubt!

Su Changkong also felt a heavy heart as he sprinted towards the edge of the island.

Many Giant Whale Gang disciples, despite their alarm, did not panic and boarded the ships.
