In an instant, the spirits of everyone in the rchant convoy tensed up; Wang Luomiao and Faang Jinghui imdiately stopped talking and looked up toward the lookout tower.
On the lookout tower, the deputy lookout was thodically waving flags, relaying ssages using flag signals.
"Pirates attacking?" Faang Jinghui’s face changed, "Which group of pirates dares to raid even our rchant convoy?"
Wang Luomiao’s expression turned icy, and she imdiately made a series of deploynts and arrangents based on the number of pirate ships indicated by the flag signals and their attack direction.
As the flagship, the "Luomiao" turned to face the direction of the pirate attack. On its deck, all twelve Divine Power Cannons were loaded and ready for battle.
All non-combat personnel hid inside the cabin, leaving only the Black Tortoise cultivators with combat capability and household servants and generals trained to operate the Divine Power Cannons on the deck.
The rchant ships have substantial cargo and cannot outrun pirates, so discovering the enemy first using the "Thousand-Mile Telescope" and setting up a defensive formation is the most cost-effective strategy.
Almost as the fleet completed its maneuvers, dozens of small points appeared on the vast sea. These were several dozen dium and small-sized fast boats, their sails billowing as they sped rapidly in the wind’s direction.
Trailing behind these fast boats were several large sea vessels. Although these ships were slightly slower than the fast boats, they were more than twice as fast as the large cargo ships from the rchant convoy.
The pirates’ flags flew high above these ships, bringing a strong sense of oppression to everyone in the rchant convoy before they even approached.
Soon, the fast boats grew increasingly clear in everyone’s field of vision as the distance between both parties began to close rapidly.
A fierce sea battle erupted.
The Divine Power Cannons thundered like crashing waves across the sea surface, and with enough luck, could even sink a small fast boat.
As the pirates rapidly approached, their crossbow cannons also began to retaliate.
However, compared to the clean and effective results of the Divine Power Cannons, the crossbow cannons’ effect paled in comparison.
"Damn it!" roared the rough-looking pirate leader Nie Long, his eyes almost spitting fire, "Why are these damn Divine Power Cannons so powerful?"
Previously, he had heard about the formidable power of the Wang and Chen Families’ Divine Power Cannons and had scoffed at them. Yet now he tasted the bitterness; not only were many of his brothers killed by the Divine Power Cannons, but nurous ships were also destroyed.
"Brothers, keep charging!"
Incensed, Nie Long’s red hair stood on end, and his montum surged dramatically.
Simultaneously, he propelled himself off the deck with one foot, soaring into the air, and shot toward the Luomiao.
In just a mont, his figure was already above the rchant convoy’s flagship, Luomiao.
With a flick of his right wrist, a thick-backed saber suddenly appeared in his palm, a Magical Treasure Long Saber.
This was gifted to him by Cao Youbin, the current head of the Cao Family, upon his promotion to the Celestial Human Realm. Otherwise, with his strength and finances, acquiring such a Magical Treasure Long Saber wouldn’t have been easy.
Nie Long gripped the saber with both hands and delivered a fierce strike toward the flagship.
Instantly, a trendous amount of Profound Qi surged out, condensing into a semi-circular saber arc several feet wide, whistling forth with unparalleled montum, domineering and ferocious.
It was evident that Nie Long was a master swordsman, having comprehended a trace of sword intent.
At that mont, suspended in mid-air, his imposing figure resembled a small mountain, his Profound Qi fluctuations raging like stormy waves. Coupled with the overwhelming saber arc, his might was truly formidable.
Even though it seed like a casual swing, the power of this strike was enough to slice through waves and awe the soul.
This is the might of a Celestial Human!
When a Celestial Human Realm Black Tortoise Cultivator exerts their full strength, the combat prowess unleashed is incredibly terrifying. No rchant ship or Divine Power Cannon could suffice.
This explains why the existence of a Celestial Human Ancestor could dominate a region and beco a formidable force.
Celestial Human Realm cultivators had long transcended the mortal realm. They could potentially eliminate a typical Eighth-Grade Noble Family single-handedly and often swing the direction of small-scale wars at critical monts.
"Not good, it’s the ’Red-haired Dragon King’ Nie Long, Miss Luomiao, be careful!" Faang Jinghui’s face turned pale, and he hurriedly shielded Wang Luomiao, drawing a Spirit Shield with his left hand that spun up, deploying an Energy Shield to protect them both.
But with his strength, trying to block this attack was a futile endeavor.
At this critical mont, a long whistle suddenly sounded from within the "Luomiao." A blue Water Dragon burst out from the ship’s hold, striking the saber arc like a sharp arrow.
"Boom!"
The two energies fiercely collided, sending a shockwave spreading in all directions. The mast and deck of the "Luomiao" shattered.
At the sa ti,
a tall and burly elder, holding a silver spear, soared out from the ship’s cabin, hovering in mid-air opposite the "Red-haired Dragon King" Nie Long, laughing loudly, "Nie Long, with here, it’s not your turn to be arrogant."
"It’s you? The Chen Family Ancestor Chen Ruhong?" Nie Long’s pupils contracted, his expression imdiately turning serious, "You’re not staying at East Port, yet you co along on the ship?"
He was also quite fearful of Chen Ruhong. It was rumored that after this person ascended to the Celestial Human Realm, several waves of pirates in the East Sea had been eliminated by him, including even a Celestial Human Realm great pirate.
