Volume 6: Demons Rise from the East Sea Chapter 358: One Piece
Swish…
The engraved thunderbolt knife came down from the air, and a pirate leader holding two axes immediately met the attack with his axes.
Amid the clanging of swords, the pirate leader could not withstand the heavy blow and fell to his knees, even breaking the thick deck.
ah……
The Thunderbolt Knife was so powerful that the blade had already embedded itself into his shoulder, and blood was gushing out.
The pirate leader screamed in pain, but he held the axe tightly with both hands and tried to block it.
Kill!
As shouts of killing rang out, a large number of pirates rushed out of the cabin, several of whom rushed towards Zhao Xin who was holding the gold-engraved thunderbolt knife.
Facing many enemies, Zhao Xin sneered, first kicked the pirate leader to the ground, and then wielded a thunderbolt knife to kill into the enemy camp!
Just as the pirate leader was scrambling to his feet, thinking that he had escaped by luck, he didn't know that Zhao Xin had come back to kill him.
As the blade passed, the pirate leader's head flew under the ship...
Similar to the last encounter with pirates, these first-rate Daxuan warriors are all extremely skilled in martial arts, and are all chivalrous warriors who hate evil.
They had an innate hatred for pirates, so they attacked them without mercy.
In just a quarter of an hour, a dozen warriors had killed nearly a hundred pirates.
Even though these pirates are experienced in battle and have extremely strong fighting abilities, they can barely last more than a few rounds against first-rate warriors.
The outcome of the battle was no longer in suspense. Apart from the pirates' screams, nothing else could be heard on the pirate ship.
"Ah Xiuzi," Xu Zun hurriedly ordered Ah Xiuzi as he watched the "massacre" on the opposite deck, "Go over and pass the message, leave some people alive!"
"Yes!" Ah Xiuzi knew the importance of keeping the person alive, so he immediately untied the rope and wanted to swing to the opposite boat to pass on the order.
"Also," Xu Zunze added hurriedly, "Tell them to find Hei Boyu as soon as possible and capture the thief and the leader!"
"Understood!" Ashurai immediately ran over to the rope, and after the rope was hung firmly, he jumped and went to the pirate ship on the opposite side.
"Sir, this is good," Zhao Yu said with relief, "As long as we catch Hei Boyu, we can find out the truth about the attack on the prince! We can also have an explanation after we return."
"Old Zhao," Xu Zunze sipped his tongue and said with a melancholy look in his heart, "Do you think this explanation is reasonable?"
"This..." Zhao Yu thought quickly and muttered, "Your Excellency is saying that a pirate leader dared to attack our Great Xuan Mission. This... is indeed a bit unreasonable..."
"Although it's just a trick," Xu Zun said, "but looking at the entire East China Sea, even if all the countries in the East China Sea are combined, they wouldn't dare to do this, right?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu said, "There must be a powerful force behind Hei Boyu. I hope we can capture him alive and interrogate him clearly. Hahaha, I like this moment before the answer is revealed the most. Excited, excited, hahaha..."
"Master Xu is right, this is too strange," Han Feier, who had been standing next to Xu Zun, suddenly spoke up, "Hei Boyu has been active in the northwest of the East China Sea, how could he know about the lemon toxin?
"Also, with just this pirate ship," Han Feier shook her head, "even if we have enough ammunition, can we destroy the entire prince's delegation?"
"By the way, sir," Zhao Yu asked hurriedly, "how did you see through it? That demon dragon is so real, it seems that I can't see anything!"
"Hmph," Xu Zun snorted coldly, and said, "Okay, Lao Zhao, you clearly know the answer, but you still ask me like this. Aren't you trying to flatter me in disguise?"
"..." Zhao Yu was speechless, but his eyes were full of admiration.
Because what Xu Zun said was exactly right, he already understood the secret. The reason he asked the question was to praise Xu Zun and let him show off.
"I see," Han Feier nodded silently, "If there really was such a huge demon dragon, it would have smashed our warship to pieces long ago. Why would we have to blow up the bow again and again?"
"Besides," Zhao Yu agreed , "How could a dragon in the water carry explosives? And attack our bow so accurately?
"They used black water bags to wrap the cartridges filled with explosives, and then had the thieves who were good at diving carry them under the bow of our ship, which then caused the explosion.
"But under the influence of the lemon toxin, all we saw was a giant dragon lying in the water."
"No wonder," Han Feier said, "Lord Xu insisted on firing cannons at the waters below the bow!"
"The only way to resolve the crisis is to set it on fire," Zhao Yu said, "Not only can it detonate the cartridges filled with explosives, but it can also burn the almonds that release the toxin.
"Look..." He pointed under the boat, "Those kelp-like things are probably aloe vera!"
"But..." Han Feier looked at Xu Zun in surprise, "Where did those oil drums come from? Could it be... Could it be..."
"Yes, I didn't even know about this!" Zhao Yu asked hurriedly, "Sir, did you know this day would come, so you prepared kerosene in advance?"
"The kerosene was purchased from the Banshee Country," Xu Zun told the truth. "I originally planned to go ."
"Oh..." Zhao Yu gave a thumbs up. "Your Excellency has a good idea. We have to solve the problem of almonds when we go to Gufeng Island. So you prepared kerosene because you want to burn the almonds on Gufeng Island."
"I never thought," Xu Zun shrugged, "that I would actually use it here!"
"Prepare for a rainy day," Han Fei'er also cupped his fist towards Xu Zun, "Even if it was an accidental success, it's all thanks to Master Xu's foresight!"
"Now..." Xu Zun narrowed his eyes, staring at the movements on the pirate ship, and said faintly, "There is one more thing worth pondering."
"Oh?" Zhao Yu quickly said, "What's the matter?"
"Hei Bo Yu," Xu Zun pointed at the pirate ship opposite, "How did you know we would come?"
"Eh? Yeah..." Zhao Yu was surprised. "Looking at this scene, they must have made arrangements in advance. But, we deliberately bypassed the Banshee Country, so no one should know our movements, right?"
"Indeed," Han Feier nodded, "We defeated Hei Boyu's men before and sank the ship. Hei Boyu should not know that we are coming to capture him.
"Could it be that...they are not going to ambush us here?"
"Or maybe," Xu Zun said, "someone leaked the news to them, or maybe they didn't wait for their men and they saw through the flaws."
"My lord, look..." Zhao Yu raised his hand and pointed at the pirate ship opposite, "The battle is almost over. No matter what, we will have the answer when we meet Hei Bo Yu!"
The three of them looked over together, but saw that there were only a few pirates left on the pirate ship. The remaining ones all raised their hands above their heads and knelt on the deck to show their surrender.
Because the Daxuan battleship was severely damaged, they could no longer move their ship closer. The sailors could only put ropes around the opposite deck and begin to pull the pirate ship over little by little.
Xu Zun couldn't wait that long, so he immediately pulled the rope and swung onto the pirate ship like a swing.
When they arrived at the other side, Huo Anu had been waiting for a long time and immediately took Xu Zun to the captain's room of the pirate ship.
Before them, Zhao Xin and others had already broken into the captain's room.
When Xu Zun arrived, he found Zhao Xin and several other warriors standing at the door of the captain's room with their heads down. From their expressions, Xu Zun realized that the situation was not good.
Sure enough, when he walked into the captain's room of the pirate ship, all he saw was a room full of corpses...
…
