Chapter III: Assault

There are too many layers to be involved in modifying the Dou Qi Gong method, and it is never an easy task.

However, before Lu Chengfeng could pay attention to this problem, a terrible whistle and a loud warning from the lookout suddenly came from outside: "In the southeast direction, two ships are approaching quickly!"

His shrill voice, which reached from the deck of the airship to the deepest compartment, immediately alarmed all the guards.

The airship is powered by the magic core, and does not have to rely on the wind and tide to sail. It's just that following the trend can greatly reduce the amount of energy consumed along the way. Otherwise, after a 2,000-kilometer voyage, the magic core that supplied energy alone would be enough to swallow up one-third of Captain Wang Feng's profits. However, those bandits who do not have the right business have no scruples at all. They roam around the windswept waterways in small boats, and once they have a suitable target, they will rush up and swallow them!

Therefore, if you see a flying boat against the current near the windy and tidal channel, and it is approaching you at high speed, there is no doubt that 99 percent of them are bandits with bad intentions.

"Hurry up, all on alert!"

Wang Xuan, a swordsman who was very familiar with the Changle style, immediately raised his vigilance, and when he saw Lu Chengfeng also rushing out of the captain's room, he told Lu Chengfeng to let him order the flying ship to speed up, while drawing the Flame Shadow Sword that exuded a compelling heat from his waist, and gave the other guards an order to prepare for battle.

The so-called comers are not good, for these murderous bandits, Wang Xuan does not dare to be careless.

At this time, after receiving a warning from the lookout, more than a dozen other guards on the flying ship were also fully armed and ready. Two of these guards were second-order swordsman apprentices who were not in the stream, and the others were almost all third-order swordsmen. There was only a tall, thin man named Chen Ke, who had the strength of a fourth-order swordsman - he was also the original captain of the Tianhong.

Wang Xuan, a fifth-order sword master, was temporarily hired by Lu Chengfeng's predecessor in Faro Bay before taking off this time.

Such an escort strength is already quite luxurious for an ordinary small flying ship. However, there are also fifth-order or even sixth-order masters among the Tide Pirates. If they were really targeted, the fifth-order sword master would still be tragic. At this moment, although he hadn't seen the person clearly, Lu Chengfeng, who had fused Wang Feng's memory, had already guessed the identity of the enemy. He thought back to the trouble caused by his predecessor, and said casually: "It's really here!"

"Is it really here?"

Wang Xuan keenly heard Lu Chengfeng's whisper, and couldn't help but be stunned. But even if he realized something, and now that the bandits were close at hand, he could only suppress the suspicion and dissatisfaction in his heart, and concentrate on looking at the two flying ships.

Compared to the fifty-meter-long Tianhong, the two flying ships together were not as big as them. However, the slowly rising black wolf flag on the ship, the fifth-order martial artist black wolf standing on the bow of the flying ship, and the group of bandits behind him all made the hearts of the guards on the Tianhong sink.

These guys who should go to the gallows have really gone out of their nests!

"Kill them all!"

Seeing that the distance between the two sides had been shortened to a hundred meters, the black wolf with a flower bandana on his head waved his right hand wearing gloves and shouted loudly.

"Kill them all!!"

Stimulated by the black wolf's words, the morale of the more than twenty bandits under him was high, and they roared excitedly. With an absolute advantage in numbers, they seem to have seen a bright prospect of capturing the Tianhong and making a fortune.

"Damn it. ”

Wang Xuan scolded in a low voice, clenched the Flame Shadow Sword in his hand, and began to cheer up his guards loudly.

As a true fifth-order sword master, Wang Xuan was not afraid of the black wolf. With the 24-level Flame Fighting Qi he had cultivated, Wang Xuan was confident that he could draw with this guy, and even gain the upper hand slightly. But just because he's powerful doesn't mean that the other guards are just as fearless. Facing almost twice as many black wolf bandits as them, this battle with a disparity in strength was not easy to fight!

Wang Xuan can only hope that the strength of the black wolf is not as famous as the rumors, and if he can be defeated by himself soon, then maybe there will be a fight.

But, judging by the progress of the battle, it seems that this is just his wishful thinking.

As the two airships got closer together, two small airships flew over one on the left and one on the right, and at the same time made a large number of claw hooks on the Tianhong. After pulling the Tianhong, the thumb-thick rope was immediately pulled closer and fixed. Before the guards of the Tianhong drew their knives and stepped forward to cut these flexible ropes soaked in tung oil, the fifth-order martial artist black wolf had already let out a long roar, jumped over more than ten meters, and rushed to Tianhong.

"We are a group of black wolf bandits, give up resistance, hand over the goods, and spare you from dying!"

His fierce eyes, combined with the momentum of a fifth-order martial artist, suddenly made the faces of more than a dozen guards even paler. However, Wang Xuan, the sword master who was also a fifth-order powerhouse, stepped forward, intercepted him without fear, and said seriously: "These words, wait until you defeat me!"

"Swordsman?"

Feeling Wang Xuan's murderous aura, as well as his uncertain flame shadow sword sword, the black wolf's eyes shrank, and his expression became serious.

Isn't there only one fourth-order captain of this flying ship?

He glanced at Wang Xuan carefully, and then swept Lu Chengfeng, who was standing in the innermost part and was firmly protected by the guards, before nodding and saying, "It turns out that a fifth-order sword master was invited, no wonder." However, dear Mr. Wang Feng, do you really think that you can save you by asking for the help of a sword master? I tell you, that is impossible. The son of the lord of Changyuan City has sworn to kill you in order to please that young lady. ”

"Changyuan City Lord?"

This time it was Wang Xuan's turn to be surprised.

Although he had already guessed something from Lu Chengfeng's words, he didn't expect that Lu Chengfeng had offended the son of the city lord of Changyuan City.

Wang Xuan can be regarded as well-informed, and naturally he has heard of the city lord of Changyuan City, who is a nobleman of the Tang River Empire, which borders the Faro Bay region and is one of the three major countries of mankind. Although it is much worse than those top princes, it is also a relatively famous emerging family in the kingdom. At the very least, the contemporary head of the family is a powerful seventh-order sword spirit, and it is definitely not something that he can afford to offend as a fifth-order sword master.

But even if he was a little worried, Wang Xuan would not be frightened by the black wolf's words.

Nine times out of ten, what the bandits say is a lie, and the fools who believe it have basically disappeared from this world. What's more, since he has accepted someone else's employment, he can't give up without even fighting. Then once the news gets out, his reputation will be over.

No employer would hire a swordsman who would be scared away by a word.

Having said that, although a seventh-order sword spirit is powerful, it is impossible to personally hunt him down and kill him because of this matter!

Therefore, he mustered up the fighting spirit on his body, held a sword flower in his hand, and launched an invitation to the black wolf. In the final analysis, it is still up to strength to speak.

Seeing that Wang Xuan insisted on fighting, the black wolf did not show weakness. His fighting spirit also exploded, his fists shook and he rubbed his body up.

The collision of fifth-order masters!

Years of experience as a bandit leader have made the black wolf experienced in a hundred battles and has extraordinary strength. Every punch is thrown, and the strength and fighting spirit contained on it are enough to pierce the iron plate. And Wang Xuan is also a real swordsman, the Flame Shadow Sword is layered on top of each other, and each sword is directly aimed at the vital point of the black wolf. When it collided with the black wolf's fist gauntlet, the power of the Flame Shadow Sword even burst into dazzling sparks.

It was a close battle.

Seeing that the two leaders were indistinguishable for a while, the ordinary black wolf bandits also fought with the guards of the Tianhong. Although these ferocious bandits did not have any elaborate formations, they were not afraid of death, carrying a variety of weapons to take turns attacking. The outnumbered guards formed a strong resistance against the narrow terrain of the ship's deck and corridors.

For a time, the clashing, shouting, fighting and screaming of being slashed became the main theme on the deck of the flying ship.

Because the ferocity of the bandits is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Wang Feng is not bad to his subordinates on weekdays, although these more than ten guards are afraid, they are also loyal to their duties when they fight, and they struggle to drag down the robbers of the black wolf. Chen Ke, the only fourth-order swordsman in the guard, that is, the original captain, fought with the deputy leader of the black wolf bandits. But there are two fourth-order swordsmen in the Black Wolf Bandit Group!

On the other hand, on the side of Tianhong, only Chen Ke is a fourth-order.

When the deputy leader dragged Chen Ke, the other fourth-order bandit with the Taidao was left alone. Relying on his swordsman cultivation, he wantonly interspersed attacks in fierce side battles, and soon caused great trouble for the guards. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness, he even unleashed a blood-colored cross slash that directly hit a guard swordsman.

If it weren't for the comrades next to him who saved him desperately, it is estimated that the guard would have died on the spot.

Rao so, the situation is still getting worse.

A fourth-order swordsman that no one can control, unleashing his lethality is absolutely terrifying.

After a cross slash had severely wounded a third-order swordsman, the middle-aged fourth-order bandit stuck out his tongue and licked the blood droplets from his mouth, and laughed loudly. After several successive attacks, the fourth-order bandit struck again while two ordinary bandits were flanking one of the guards.

With a sharp cracking sound, the sword descended on the guard's chest in the blink of an eye with an unimaginable speed.

Only one hit!

The guard, who was also at the peak of the third order, was disemboweled by this fierce middle-aged bandit, and he couldn't survive.

However, in the blink of an eye, the fourth-order bandits shot one after another, killing one and injuring one, which made the morale of the flying ship guards more and more low. Although the sword master Wang Xuan was anxious, the flame fighting qi combined with the Flame Shadow Sword to strike a flame slash one after another, but he was steadily dragged by the black wolf's yin wisdom. As for Lu Chengfeng, who was standing in the back row holding the long sword tightly, because he was motionless, Wang Xuan decided that he was overwhelmed by the fright.

At this rate, it won't take more than five minutes for this battle to come to an end!

Damn!

Wang Xuan scolded the black wolf with hatred in his heart, and then cursed his employer, if he had known that he had offended someone, he would never have gotten on the boat for this thousand gold coins. If you are lucky enough to escape this time, you must double his honorarium!

However, do you still have a chance?
