Chapter 177: Chapter 96: The Death of the Giant Whale Gang Leader! An Extremely Powerful Enemy!_1
“`
“Someone’s coming up!” At the edge of the deck, a sea pirate noticed Su Changkong scaling up the side. He shouted loudly to alert the others, while wielding a long spear, he viciously thrust towards Su Changkong’s face.
Su Changkong shifted his head, the spear missing his face by inches, and at the same time, he grabbed the spear with his left hand and yanked.
“Aaah!”
The sea pirate let out a scream, lost his balance, and was dragged off the deck to fall into the sea, while Su Changkong used the momentum to leap upwards, nimbly landing on the deck.
“Kill him!”
The pirates on the ship, each with a ferocious expression, brandished their swords and surrounded Su Changkong, with dozens closing in for the kill.
These pirates were members of the Blood Blade Pirate Group, most of whom had reached the Strength Refinement Realm. Their power was quite formidable!
But Su Changkong held a pent-up breath, and now he let it all out!
“Hiss!”
Two pirates chopped at him from the left and right with their swords, their techniques swift and fierce, yet in Su Changkong’s eyes, their motions were as slow as a snail’s.
“Bang Bang!”
Su Changkong’s fists flew out simultaneously, striking first even though they were the last to leave, hitting the two pirates right in their chests. Amid the intense explosive sounds, the pirates were flung away like kites with severed strings, their chests caved in, their hearts shattered, instantly ceasing to beat, they fell dead on the spot!
“I need to deal with them as quickly as possible and then get back to the ship!”
Su Changkong knew he had to make every second count or more pirates would come, sink their fast ship, and their only fate would be a watery grave, with no chance of escape.
Whoosh!
Su Changkong’s figure blurred, leaving behind an afterimage as he passed between two pirates. At the same time, the Iron-Cutting Sword at his waist was unsheathed.
“Pffft! Pffft!”
Amidst the crisp sound of slicing, the heads of two pirates hit the deck simultaneously.
“Damn it! Butcher him!”
The nearby pirates, their eyes full of rage, attacked in unison with swords and blades, sealing off any space Su Changkong had to dodge!
Iron Cutting Blade Technique. Horizontal Chop!
Su Changkong’s Iron-Cutting Sword traced out an arc, and amidst the grating sound of tearing, the pirates’ weapons, along with their arms and bodies, were effortlessly ripped apart as if rotten wood, sending blood and severed limbs flying.
“Hiss hiss hiss!”
Su Changkong flickered in and out of sight, accompanied by the gleaming cutting light of his sword. Those pirates faced with Su Changkong’s fierce onslaught hadn’t even a chance to resist, whether their heads were thrown into the air or they were cut in half at the waist.
The acrid smell of blood spread, staining the pirate ship’s deck red with spilled blood!
“Monster…” Whimpers and screams incessantly pierced the air, yet none could stop Su Changkong’s onslaught.
In no time, there wasn’t a single soul left standing on the deck.
Su Changkong swiftly rushed into the cabin, making his way towards the bottom of the ship.
At the ship’s bilge, rowers worked tirelessly, propelling the pirate ship with their oars!
“What’s happening out there?”
These rowers were uncertain, only hearing screams from above that lasted only a brief moment before an eerie silence returned.
Just as they were racked with apprehension, a figure like a Grim Reaper in black appeared at the bottom of the cabin.
Su Changkong’s expression was like still water, without the slightest delay. The icy glow from his Iron-Cutting Sword proceeded with indiscriminate slaughter!
“Ahh!”
For a moment, heads rolled and blood splattered everywhere. The rowers in the bilge had no power to resist, screaming only as they met their deaths, and then all fell silent once more.
“Has that pirate ship stopped?”
“Did Li Tailai slay all the pirates on board?”
Meanwhile, on the fast ship, the Giant Whale Gang Martial Artists rowing noticed in astonishment that the pursuing pirate ship had ceased moving, as if it had lost power.
Surprised, they wondered how, in such a short time, Li Tailai managed to kill dozens aboard the pirate ship?
“Stop for now! Wait for Li Tailai!”
Sikong Huang immediately ordered the rowers from the Giant Whale Gang to halt, waiting for Su Changkong to return.
Panting!
Before long, a head emerged from the sea, none other than Su Changkong!
The others quickly lent a hand and pulled Su Changkong back aboard.
“Let’s get moving!”
Once on board, Su Changkong touched his wet face and urged them in a deep voice.
The other Giant Whale Gang Martial Artists also hurriedly continued rowing with all their might, driving the fast ship to safety.
“They… didn’t catch up.”
What relieved everyone was that they had progressively distanced themselves, and no pirate ship was following them anymore; they were out of danger!
But whether it was Sikong Huang or Su Changkong, there was little joy in their hearts.
“Brother…”
Sikong Huang gazed out towards the horizon, her eyes filled with sadness and tears.
Sikong Zhan stayed on the damaged Black Whale to face the enemy and buy time. As the Young Gang Leader of the Giant Whale Gang and the primary target, his chances of escaping were almost nonexistent.
Notably, among the three Ninth Grand Thieves who arrived, Li Hun of the Blood Blade Pirate Group, ranked fifth across the entire Blue Rain Sea, was a first-rate expert.
Sikong Zhan had been injured by Li Hun before, requiring two to three months of recovery to heal.
Sikong Huang understood that Sikong Zhan’s chances of survival were slim, and even if he didn’t die, falling into the pirates’ hands wouldn’t fare well for him either!
“Meng Sang…” Su Changkong’s killing intent towards Meng Sang soared to its peak in his heart.
Last time, Meng Sang forced him to poison the Pill Medicine meant for Sikong Zhan, and this time he had betrayed them, resulting in the ambush by the elite of three pirate groups, nearly resulting in their deaths in the vast sea!
