In an instant, everyone's spirits in the rchant convoy were on high alert. Wang Luomiao and Fang Jinghui imdiately stopped talking and looked up towards the lookout tower.
The assistant watching the tower was calmly waving flags, conveying ssages through signal flags.
"Pirates are attacking?" The color drained from Fang Jinghui's face. "Who dares to rob our rchant convoys?"
Wang Luomiao's face turned cold. Imdiately, according to the number and direction of the pirate ships conveyed by the signal flags, she made a series of arrangents and deploynts.
The Luo Miao Ship, serving as the flagship, changed its course to proactively block the direction of the pirate attack. On the deck, all twelve Divine Might Cannons were loaded and ready for battle.
All non-combat personnel retreated into the cabin, leaving only Xuanwu Cultivators who were capable of combat and house servants who knew how to operate the Divine Might Cannon on the deck.
rchant ships carrying large cargo could never outrun pirates. Taking advantage of the early warning provided by the Thousand Miles Mirror, the best counterasure was to assu a defensive formation.
Almost when the convoy completed its adjustnts, dozens of small points appeared on the vast sea surface. These were dozens of dium and small sized speedboats, their sails full of wind, rushing forward at high speed.
Behind these speedboats were several larger ships. Although these large ships were slightly slower than the speedboats, they were more than twice as fast as the large rchant ships on this side.
The pirate flags flew high on these ships. Even before they ca close, everyone in the convoy was filled with a strong sense of oppression.
Soon, the speedboats beca clearer and clearer in everyone's field of vision, and the distance between the two sides quickly closed.
A fierce sea battle broke out.
The thunderous roar of the Divine Might Cannons caused waves to explode on the surface of the sea. With enough luck, a small speedboat could be sunk.
As the pirates got closer, their crossbow cannons also began to counter-attack.
However, compared to the clean victory of the Divine Might Cannon, the crossbow cannon's effects seed insufficient.
"Damn!" Nie Long, the rough-looking pirate chief, was so angry his eyes seed to spit fire. "Why is this damn thing, the Divine Might Cannon, so powerful?"
He had heard before that the Divine Might Cannons of the Wang family and Chen Clan were extraordinary and had even sneered at the notion. Unexpectedly, he was now suffering the consequences with many of his brothers killed by the Divine Might Cannon, and several of their ships were heavily damaged.
"Charge, my brothers!"
Nie Long, furious, with his red hair standing on end, his aura suddenly surged.
At the sa ti, he took a step forward on the deck, and his body suddenly rose into the air. He stepped on the void and flew towards the Luo Miao Ship.
In the blink of an eye, his figure had reached the airspace above the flagship Luo Miao Ship.
With the spread of his right hand, a thick-backed broadsword suddenly appeared in his palm. It was a magic treasure-class long saber.
This was a gift from the sitting family head of Cao family, Cao Youbin, when he advanced to the Tiaren Realm. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for him to acquire this magical long saber given his strength and wealth.
Nie Long held the sword with both hands and violently slashed towards the flagship.
In an instant, a massive amount of Mysterious Energy burst out, forming a half-circular blade light of several feet in size. The montum was powerful and ruthless.
Very clearly, Nie Long was a master with a sword, having already understood a bit of Blade Intent.
At this mont, suspended in the air, his burly body looked like a small mountain. The Mysterious Energy fluctuating all over his body was stormy and surging like angry waves. Along with the overwhelming blade light, it was truly awe-inspiring.
Even if it looked like a casual slash from him, the power behind this slash was enough to slash through waves and strike terror into people's hearts.
This was the might of a celestial being!
When a Tiaren Realm Xuanwu Cultivator unleashed their strength, the resulting combat power was extrely terrifying. Both rchant ships and the Divine Might Cannons would be of no use.
This was also why the presence of a celestial ancestor could make a clan dominate a region and beco a powerful force.
Tiaren realm cultivators had already transcended the ordinary level. They could potentially annihilate a regular Eight Grade Prominent Family with their individual strength. Moreover, at critical monts, they often determined the direction of a small-scale war.
"This is not good. It's the 'Red-haired Dragon King' Nie Long. Miss Luo Miao, be careful!" Fang Jinghui's face turned pale as he hurriedly shielded Wang Luomiao, his left hand swung up a Spirit Shield and created an energy shield covering the two of them.
But with his strength, it was rely a futile effort to block this attack.
At that critical mont, a long howl sounded from inside the Luo Miao Ship. A blue water dragon suddenly broke out of the hull and launched a direct attack on the blazing blade light like an arrow.
"Boom!"
The two energy forces violently collided, and a shock wave spread out in all directions. The masts and decks of the "Luo Miao Ship" were shattered.
At the sa mont¶
An elderly man of tall and stalwart stature erged from the cabin, holding a silver long spear and floated across from the 'Red-haired Dragon King' Nie Long. He laughed out loud, "Nie Long, as long as I am here, it's not your turn to be arrogant."
"Is that you? The Chen Clan ancestor, Chen Ruhong?" Nie Long's pupils contracted and his expression beca instantly serious. "Instead of staying in Donggang, you ca here on the ship?"
He was wary of Chen Ruhong. It was rumored that since he had advanced to the Tiaren Realm, he had exterminated several waves of pirates in the East Sea. This even included a prominent Great Sea Pirate in the realm of Tiaren.
