Chapter 743: Captain Jack's Trick
In fact, it's not to blame Angelica for not understanding, because she really doesn't understand why her father treats her like this.
Seeing his daughter's complicated eyes looking at him, even if Blackbeard is an outright villain, he will inevitably feel a little guilty in his heart.
Blackbeard walked up to Angelica and said in the most sincere tone: "Dear Angie, I don't want to do this, but I can't help it. β
Pointing to an old corpse in the corner, which had turned into white bones, Blackbeard said, "That person is Juan Ponce de LeΓ³n, the most famous explorer in Spain. When I came here, I saw his last words carved into the stone wall. β
"The Fountain of Youth's Life Transformation Ritual as we know it is incomplete, and one important condition is missing, which is that both parties to the transfer of life must be related by blood, so... Only you can help me. β
After listening to Blackbeard's words, Angelica quickly understood what her father meant, and after thinking about it for a long time, she finally made a decision.
"Give me the silver cup, I'll drink!" Angelica said.
"Thank you, thank you." As Blackbeard Edward spoke, he excitedly handed over the cup of the fountain of immortality that could take Angelica's life without mermaid tears.
Angelica held the silver cup tightly, looked down at the immortal spring water in the cup, and finally brought the silver cup to her mouth fiercely after a moment's silence.
"No!" With a roar, Li Nan, who was holding a deadly throat gun, flew over like lightning, and snatched the silver cup from Angelica's hand with precision and speed.
Blackbeard, who was about to take his daughter's life, saw Li Nan coming over to stir up the situation, and immediately scolded angrily: "Damn it! β
Li Nan's appearance not only destroyed the evil things that Blackbeard did, but also changed the tide of the war, without him as a strong martial arts guy, Barbossa and the others were quickly suppressed by the overwhelming Spanish soldiers, and Count Fernando and other soldiers also rushed to the target of this trip--- Fountain of Youth!
Blackbeard and Li Nan were a little suspicious of the Spaniards, so when they saw Fernando bringing people over, neither of them wanted to be an enemy of them, and they retreated together.
Count Fernando came to the Fountain of Youth, looked around and shouted, "Only God can give eternal life to man, not this fountain of evil!" The soldiers destroyed this desecrated fountain of immortality! β
Hearing Fernando's words, everyone present was stunned, everyone was used to treating others as their own, so no one expected that he had come here to destroy this magical spring.
One of the royal guards who accompanied the army reminded him: "Your Excellency, His Majesty the Emperor means to let you bring back the spring water......
"Poof!" Count Fernando pierced the guard in the heart with a sword, and shouted with a solemn expression: "Divine power above all else!" β
"Theocracy above all else!" The Spanish soldiers, who had been brainwashed by religion very thoroughly, chanted in unison in a frenzy.
In the face of these religious madmen who seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, Li Nan, who had not taken the Fountain of Youth, to heart, hurriedly pulled Angelica back.
Blackbeard's soul corpse was either dead or entangled by the Spanish soldiers at this time, so he didn't dare to face its edge, and quickly retreated to the side.
The prepared Spanish soldiers, wielding sledgehammers and hoes, did not take long to dig down, smash and block this miraculous fountain of immortality that can transform lives......
Just as everyone was fascinated by the Spaniard's astonishing behavior, a long sword slashed down from Blackbeard's back.
"Ahh Blackbeard let out a terrible cry of pain, only to see his left arm slashed off by a sword shoulder-to-shoulder, and a figure deftly rushed over and caught the silver cup filled with the fountain of immortality in his broken hand.
The one who wielded the sword and cut off Blackbeard's arm was Barbossa, and the one who snatched the silver cup was Jack. Sparrow.
Before Blackbeard could react, Barbossa's expressionless backhand stab him in the heart.
"No!" Angelica exclaimed when she saw her father killed.
Blackbeard gripped the long sword tightly with his remaining right hand and asked unwillingly, "Why?" β
Hearing Blackbeard's question, Barbossa and Jack stand side by side. Sparrow, the two of them said in unison, "For the Black Pearl!" β
Her father fell to the ground, and Angelica rushed over, crying bitterly as she lay on Blackbeard's body.
Blackbeard's body has undergone various transformations of black magic and alchemy, so although he was stabbed in the heart by a sharp sword, he did not die for the time being, he held Angelica's hand tightly, and said with difficulty: "Angie... Save me! β
After Angelica hesitated for a few seconds, she turned her head to look at Li Nan and pleaded sadly, "Dear Nan, will you give me the silver cup?" β
Li Nan clenched the silver cup filled with immortal spring water in his hand, and didn't know how to choose for a while.
According to his own heart, Li Nan naturally didn't want Angelica to give her life for a rotten person like Blackbeard, who was extremely selfish.
But on the other hand, Blackbeard is Angelica's biological father after all, and Li Nan has no right to stop her from fulfilling her filial piety, he knows that if he doesn't hand over the silver cup, Angelica will definitely hate him for the rest of his life.
Just when Li Nan was in a dilemma, he suddenly saw Jack standing behind Angelica. Sparrow, constantly squeezing his eyes at himself.
After getting along for such a long time, Li Nan has some understanding of Jack and Barbossa's personalities.
Although these two pirate kings have also done a lot of bad things, they are not outright evil people like Blackbeard, at least they still maintain some moral bottom line, although they don't know the specific meaning of Jack's doing, Li Nan, who is helpless at the moment, still chooses to believe him.
After getting a response from Li Nan, Jack. Sparrow walked slowly towards him, and when he took the silver cup from Li Nan's hand, his back to Angelica and Blackbeard flashed quickly.
Jack. Sparrow's swordsmanship can only be described as superb, and his seafaring skills are good, but his highest skill is stealing.
Captain Jack has stolen countless things in his life, and he can not only steal things silently from ordinary people, but can even attack some powerful characters.
Why did Jack become the matriarch of the merfolk? It was because he stole the three gems that the witch Tia, the goddess of the sea, Capruso, used to control the merfolk.
Jack walked back after getting the silver cup, he crouched down, handed Angelica the silver cup he had taken from Blackbeard, and persuaded him, "Don't be stupid, drink it." β
Before Angelica could refuse, Blackbeard, who was originally dying, snatched the cup with the last strength of his body and drank the spring of immortality inside.
After drinking the water of the fountain of immortality in the silver cup, Blackbeard looked at Angelica, showed a pitiful look, and pleaded in a low voice, "Help me, dear child." β
Although Angelica's heart was broken by Blackbeard's actions, she knew that she would lose her life, but she gritted her teeth and picked up another silver cup, and raised her head to drink the spring of immortality inside.
Seeing that all this had settled, Li Nan and Jack, who knew the inside story, were quietly relieved.
