Chapter 520: White Stripes in the Waves
The dawn is dawning in the east, and the sun is approaching. The first island in the sea area of Yuanming Island, Gulang Island, has been breached, and the "Gulang Jiao" in the "Twelve Jiao of Atami" was killed by Chu Fanghua and beheaded, and the remaining "Eleven Jiao" are on other islands.
Lei Xiaoyan estimated that there were about seven or eight pirates who escaped from the beach. According to Chu Fanghua, the entire sea area of Yuanming Island has been arranged in a spiral, and there is only one way to reach the main island.
From Gulang Island to the southwest, about 20 miles away, is the second of the "Eighteen Show Islands" - Turning Wave Island. In fact, the Eighteen Shows Island was originally nameless, and the current names were given after the pirates occupied it, and ten of the islands were named after the "names" of the "Twelve Atami Shokai", which ranked third to twelfth, and were guarded by the corresponding leaders.
The leader of the Turning Wave Island is naturally the "Turning Wave Jiao" Xue Zhongcang. According to distance estimates, pirates escaping from Gulang Island will be able to reach Tumbo Island after dawn. Xiao Tianhe's group of people rectified a little, and also went to the sea and waded into the water, heading towards Tuobo Island.
"Why don't we fly directly to Yuanming Island?" Ye Linglong suddenly thought of this "shortcut".
Chu Fanghua said: "No. Air targets are too obvious and have nowhere to hide, making them easy to target. In addition, it is inconvenient to fight in the air, and it is impossible to use his skills. It's even worse if you fall out of the sky and fall into traps, traps, or circles. ”
"Anyway, we're going to wipe out all this mess, so it's good to kill all the way through, we can kill it all the way!" Lei Xiaoyan shouted loudly.
Chu Fanghua told everyone: "The enemy will definitely be ready for battle after receiving the report, everyone must be careful." I'm afraid the battle down is not so easy. ”
At about midnight, the group arrived at Tuobo Island. Turning Bo Island is much larger than Gulang Island, the island has more reefs, less mud, no beach, and the lowest coast is more than two feet high from the water, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Before they could get ashore, rows of crossbow arrows suddenly flew out of the island, each as thick as a child's arm, and shot at them with a whistling "woo".
"Beware! There is an ambush!" Shi Haoming shouted, "Jair, let's go up!" The two of them stabbed their heads underwater, diving forward at a rapid speed a few feet below the surface of the sea, and the speed of those crossbow arrows was greatly reduced after they were shot into the water, and they couldn't help the two of them at all. The two of them walked around the rock cliffs on both sides, one left and one right.
Chu Fanghua directly stepped into the air, calmly dodged the overwhelming crossbow arrows, and flew to the top of the cliff from the front. Others performed their maneuvers on the water, riding the waves and rushing to the bottom of the cliff.
The two of them soon arrived at the bottom of the cliff, one Jiao and one dragon, took off the water, stepped on the steep rock wall as if walking on the ground, and turned over to the top of the cliff. Chu Fanghua also arrived with a sword, and the three of them rushed into the rock pile and engaged the pirates in close combat. The battle was disrupted by three masters, and the shooting of crossbow arrows stopped, and the others were able to take the opportunity to land on the island and start a big melee on the edge of the cliff.
These pirates are the vanguard, only responsible for controlling the giant crossbow that has been erected on the edge of the cliff, and they do not have much ability in their hands, and in the face of this powerful master, they can be said to have no power to parry, and they are defeated and retreat to the depths of the island.
The island is in the southeast, a large depression, other than the rest of the island is an abrupt and rugged reef, which is very unfavorable for the use of the trick. Chu Fanghua wanted to kill the thief first, leaving aside the group of deserters, and the royal knife went straight into Dazhai single-handedly. Thousands of arrows in the village fired at once, forcing her out of the air. She rolled forward on the spot and slashed at the gate of the village, and the magic knife bounced open, and a green light mask covered the entire village.
"There is actually a magic circle!" Chu Fanghua retreated a distance, kicked the ground, raised the knife with both hands above his head, shouted angrily, and slashed hard, the magic knife turned into a huge phantom more than ten zhang long, and slammed into the gate of the village. The light mask of the defense array shook and was not broken, but the color was noticeably darker.
"Quick, shoot her for me!" shouted a shrill voice in the village. Presumably that is Xue Zhongcang.
At this time, Shi Haoming and Lei Xiaoyan rushed to the scene, Chu Fanghua shouted: "Break the formation!" The two understood, Lei Xiaoyan lowered the left hammer, Shi Haoming stepped on it with both feet, hugged the starlight gun and curled up, Lei Xiaoyan lifted him with a single hammer, aimed at the direction of the walled gate, and then smashed it hard with the right hammer against the left hammer. Listening to the earth-shattering sound of "dong", the overlord hammer burst out with an amazing wave of qi, Shi Haoming took advantage of the situation to kick the hammer and flew out with the help of the force, and the man and gun were one, like a huge arrow shot towards the gate. The starlight spear was full of light, and the golden light on the tip of the spear was dazzling, and the light shield that shrouded Dazhai could withstand such a swift and sharp attack, and it shattered like a blister. The Starlight Lance then pierced through the gate, killing seven or eight pirates in a row before stopping.
Chu Fanghua couldn't help but admire when he saw it: "What a combined attack method!"
As soon as the gate broke, the pirates stopped cowering and rushed out of the village. It just so happened that other people also killed in front of the village, and the shouts of both sides shook the sky, and the fight was so lively.
Chu Fanghua had been searching for Xue Zhongcang's figure in the crowd. But there were pirates on all sides, and there was no one in command of them. "Didn't you escape through the back door of Dazhai?" she thought to herself.
Most of these pirates are at the Five Elements and Liuhe levels, Xiao Tianhe and Ye Linglong also have the strength to fight, plus Bai Yingxue and Yang Yuemei, the two demon clans, are always around the two, they are not in danger for the time being. Yang Yuemei's Huayan shield played a big role, several people leaned against the reef, the Huayan shield erected in front almost blocked all attacks from the front, Bai Yingxue's moon pestle was divided into two, shuttling back and forth on the left and right sides, hitting the pirates' heads all the way, and she herself also released a stream of poisonous insects, stinging the approaching pirates into a pool of pus and blood. Seeing that the pirates nearby were almost killed, Yang Yue
Mei picked up the Huayan shield, with the heel as the support, turned horizontally in a circle, when the rotation speed reached the extreme, the Huayan shield was thrown out against the enemy's most dense walled mouth, the power of the whirling shield was incomparable, the pirates crashed to death, knocked to cripple, and at the same time Yang Yuemei herself was like lightning chasing the shield away. The shield cleared the whole way, Yang Yuemei caught up with Hua Yandun in the walled gate, hugged the pestle to the ground, a surging wave of air burst out, and a large circle of pirates around was blown away, wailing for a long time. This is one of Yang Yuemei's tricks - spinning shield rush, it turns out that defensive martial arts can also have such a powerful attack! It is hard to imagine that such a fierce attack actually came from the hands of a light woman, which opened the eyes of Xiao Tianhe and Ye Linglong.
"Woo-" A high-pitched horn suddenly sounded in the distance. When the pirates heard this, they immediately stirred up their spirits and retreated to the south bank as they fought, and they were about to abandon the village.
Xiao Tianhe and the others chased all the way to the shore, only to see the pirates going into the water one after another as if they were cooking dumplings, swimming to the reinforcements in the rear. The elite reinforcements from the other islands arrived so quickly, and the water was full of wooden planks, and the planks were connected by iron cables, as if a large "mat" had been spread on the sea, and the reinforcements were all standing on the mats.
A thin hunchbacked man took two steps forward and shouted sharply: "Bah! Who are you who dare to harm my brother Yu?" Listening to this person's voice, he was Xue Zhongcang, the "churning wave" who had given orders in Dazhai before. Behind him was a reckless man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist standing with his arms crossed, wearing a hat, wearing a yellow shoulder with his belly exposed, a snakeskin belt around his waist, and a pair of torn shorts underneath. His muscles were swollen and his body was covered with scars, large and small, which was quite terrifying. This person should also be one of the "Atami Twelve", but I don't know which one.
"The unscrupulous are punished by everyone. Chu Fanghua was like a swallow stealing water, clinging to the sea and rushing away to attack Xue Zhongcang.
Lei Xiaoyan was quite "interested" in the scarred man, in his opinion, the reckless man should be against the reckless man, he jumped high and landed heavily on the plank. But who knows, the plank suddenly sank, and the connected chains were also broken, and Lei Xiaoyan was caught off guard and fell into the water.
"That's not a plank!" Ao Jianwei frowned.
"That's right, it seems to be...... Slate!" Shi Hao said. The slate floats in the water, which is really unheard of
Before Lei Xiaoyan could stabilize himself in the water, several large whirlpools suddenly appeared beside him. Ao Jianwei shouted, "Not good!" and then the fish jumped into the sea and swam towards Lei Xiaoyan quickly. But it was too late, Lei Xiaoyan was rushed up by a huge column of water, flew into the air, and the water splashed in all directions, and a man dressed in white appeared from the water column. The man swung several swords in the air at the thunder roaring flame above his head, then turned and plunged into the sea.
Lei Xiaoyan was already injured, and after falling into the water, the surface of the water was flushed with blood red. "Grandma's a bear! sneak attack from the water, what kind of hero!" Lei Xiaoyan was furious, but he was not good at water, so he could only wait on the surface of the water. In order to prevent another sneak attack, he used the Overlord Hammer to stir up the sea water around him.
At this time, Chu Fanghua, who had exchanged hands with Xue Zhongcang, also found that the "mat" under his feet was very strange. Those stone slabs sink as soon as you step on them, and the chains will break if you step on them heavily, so if you want to maintain stability, you can only use your body skills. But Xue Zhongcang was walking on the ground, jumping back and forth on the stone slab, moving freely.
The scarred man has been watching from afar and has never made a move.
Xue Zhongcang, a man with a big scar, a man in white underwater, it seems that there are three of the remaining "eleven jiao". Let's not talk about the two on the "mat", the one under the water is a troublesome guy, if he has been attacked by him and has been injured too much, he will not be able to fight the rest of the battle.
Xue Zhongcang's ability was much higher than Yu Taichong's, and even Chu Fanghua couldn't take him down in a short period of time. No wonder this group of pirates has been able to run amok for so many years, there are more than a dozen leaders above the gossip level, who dares to provoke them?
Shi Haoming was worried that the scarred big man and Xue Zhongcang would be unfavorable to Chu Fanghua with two to one, so he said to Li Cuiyan: "Entangle that big man." Then he plunged into the water. When I opened my eyes, I saw that Ao Jianwei was fighting with the man in white at a depth of more than ten feet underwater. After Shi Haoming joined the battle, the man in white saw that the enemy was invincible, and immediately fled to the water. Judging from his speed, Shi Haoming had to admire, for a human being, the water nature of the man in white had reached the extreme, even surpassing most aquatic demon clans.
Looking up underwater, the slate of the "mat" plays a good role in indicating, where someone is standing, the slate will be submerged in the water, and you can even observe the direction of everyone's movement in this way. Presumably, this set of "stone mat" tactics was formulated for the man in white underwater.
Shi Haoming and Ao Jianwei couldn't chase after the man, so they had to watch him rush out to a hollow in the stone slab, which was where Li Cuiyan was. Li Cuiyan was also lifted by the water column brought up by the man in white. This is not an ordinary water column, you must know that the demon clans in the Meng Zhang realm can fly, even if they are washed into the air, they should be able to stabilize their bodies immediately, but that water column seems to contain a magical power, which will make people's skills in a state of disorder in an instant, and if they can't use their skills, they can't control their bodies, let alone defend against the attacks of the men in white. After a set of sword moves, Li Cuiyan was also injured a lot.
The man in white knew that there were two demon clan masters waiting for him underwater, so he also stood on the stone slab after falling and did not enter the water. He put on a posture and said with a cruel smile: "Let you wait today to taste the power of the 'Cupola Jiao'!" It turned out that he was the ninth-ranked "Cupola" Pan Qianmo.
Lei Xiaoyan saw that Li Cuiyan was also injured, so he was furious and scolded: "I care about you."
'Rushing Jiao' or 'Chaotian Jiao', when you meet me, you are a 'dead Jiao'!
Pan Qianmo sneered, raised his sword to greet him, when the blade touched the hammer body, he immediately withdrew his hand and slashed, and the spinning hammer slipped down to the scarred man, he reached out and grabbed the handle of the hammer while standing with his arms crossed, and then knocked it on the instep of his foot, only to hear the sound of "click", the handle of the overlord hammer was broken!
Lei Xiaoyan was stunned, could it be that the man's feet were made of steel and iron? If he looked closely, he saw that a pair of strange boots appeared on the scarred man's feet, the boots were wrapped in a blue-blue metal shell, and there was a golden wrap pad on the heel, and a spike sticking out of the pad. On the tip of the toe, a black metal beast head is wrapped, with two fangs on the upper lip bent forward, and two fangs on the lower lip obliquely upward.
"He's a demon clan!" Lei Xiaoyan shouted at him. Those strange boots are undoubtedly the scarred man's natal weapon.
Seeing that an overlord hammer had its handle broken, Lei Xiaoyan was extremely angry, and slammed another hammer into the stone slab under his feet, and a fierce wave of fire immediately spread, and he wanted to destroy this "mat" that was in the way. The scarred man jumped forward with an arrow, stretched out his legs through the gap between the stone slabs into the sea, and swept half a circle, not only sweeping away the chains, but also stirring up a large wave that collided with the fire wave sent by the thunder and thunder, making the flames disappear. As a result, the "mat" on Lei Xiaoyan's side was completely destroyed, and the "mat" behind the scarred man was still there.
On the cliff, Shirakukuyuki once again released poisonous insects and swept towards the enemy. I saw the scarred man jump high, his feet parted, submerged in the water, and then twisted the wolf's waist, and the strange boots of his feet stirred the sea water and swirled, forming a large whirlpool, but the "mat" behind him was still floating in place.
"Hey!" the big man roared in shock, swinging his body sideways and "lying" on the water, his feet staggered and kicking, and he immediately shot a fast, fast and dense water arrow in the whirlpool. With a flick of the fingers, the insect swarm was completely wiped out, and the broken insect bodies fell one after another, like a "black rain". "Ahh After the water arrow eliminated the insect swarm, it still flew towards the cliff, the power was amazing, and one arrow could cut off a piece of the rock cliff, fortunately, Yang Yuemei's Huayan shield resisted, and the four people on the cliff were temporarily unharmed.
Pan Qianmo took the opportunity to enter the water again, and Shi Haoming and Ao Jianwei hurriedly followed. After Pan Qianmo got into the water, he had a clear goal - the big whirlpool stirred up by the scarred man. When Shi Haoming and Ao Jianwei approached, the scarred man seemed to see everything that was happening underwater, stirring up the whirlpool and increasing sharply, and the powerful suction force immediately swept Shi and Ao into it and pressed them to the bottom of the whirlpool.
Pan Qianmo was above the whirlpool, obviously he had been honing this move with the scar man for a long time. He suddenly flew out of the whirlpool, plunged diagonally from the water to the surface of the sea, and rushed into the thunder with lightning speed. Lei Xiaoyan was on guard this time, but Pan Qianmo's speed was too fast, and it was too late for his eyes to see it, and he was hit by the water column again. This time, the impact of the water column was extremely powerful, and Lei Xiaoyan felt as if he had been punched in the chest, his ribs were broken, and he vomited a large mouthful of blood. Pan Qianmo had already escaped from the water column at this time, flashed behind Lei Xiaoyan, and stabbed him in the back of the heart with a sword.
It was too late, it was too soon, Li Cuiyan's Misty Fan flew and struck the blade of the sword, and the sword only pierced into Lei Xiaoyan's shoulder. At the same time, the golden silk crescent pendant on the Mystery Fan tightly wrapped Pan Qianmo's wrist and the hilt of the sword, making him unable to make any more killing moves for the time being. Pan Qianmo shook his wrist with a horizontal sword, picked off all the gold wires, and entered the water again. Li Cuiyan took the opportunity to take back the Misty Fan and returned to Xiao Tianhe's side with Lei Xiaoyan.
At this time, the pirates who had "slipped through the net" before came back and fought with a few people on the cliff.
The current situation is that Lei Xiaoyan is seriously injured and loses his combat effectiveness, Li Cuiyan is also injured but can still fight again, Shi Haoming and Ao Jianwei have no choice but to Pan Qianmo, and the four people on the cliff can't get out. can fight with all his might, only Chu Fanghua is left.
According to Xiao Tianhe's speculation, the scarred man should be the tenth leader - "Teng Haijiao" Liu Linfeng. He and Pan Qianmo are both quite good at water, and it is not a good plan to fight in the water. No wonder Xue Zhongcang refused to show his face on the island before, but led them into the sea to fight again. There are only two ways to deal with the enemy: either lure the enemy to the island to start a war, or hope that Shi Haoming and Ao Jianwei will quickly kill Pan Qianmo. However, it is not easy to talk about either method! The enemy knows that he has an advantage in the water, so how can he easily go ashore? Pan Qianmo's skill is not low, and even if Shi Haoming and Ao Jianwei can kill him, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not seriously injure one or two more people during this period.
