Tang Guosheng’s countenance changed and Tang Min was flustered. She hastily ran to the front of Tang Guosheng and shouted, “KILL THEM!”
The two men and two women who had been standing behind Tang Min moved in a flash. One of the women instantly appeared in front of Tang Min and released a dreadful aura. The longsword she always carried in the scabbard on her back was jettisoned upward immediately. The moment she brandished it, she created a layer of swaying sword images.
A storm blasted out in a flash, which simulated the water to billow upward from both sides of the liner.
The rolling, billowing waves were accompanied by layers of sword images that instantly swept across the two fire dragons. The stocky man only felt darkness in front of him as his two fire dragons were torn apart and shattered by the bombardment, creating splashes of flame everywhere. Yet, the oncoming sword images were still on their path to strike him head-on. His pupils shrunk and he forcefully pushed his hands forward.
“Wall of Fire!”
Layers of overlapping flames rapidly coagulated and stretched densely like a cobweb, eventually forming a thick wall of fire. The rolling flame kept flowing and was injected into the wall of fire when it then pressed forward toward the sword images.
BOOM!
The stocky man shook and staggered while backing up in that instant. At the moment when the two streams of fire formed above the sea, he flew back to their passenger liner. The four French ability users behind him, however, unleashed their powers one after another, forming a whistling cyclone which was entangled with water arrows. The two powers complemented each other, causing their speed to increase to the max, and they aggressively strode forward at the moment when the wall of fire was destroyed.
Blast…
The four people were thrown back upside down by the rolling waves. But at the moment when they were blown away, several strops of wind were released by the Wind Elementalist on the passenger liner behind them, wrapping their bodies and taking them back to their liner deck.
The middle-aged woman who just brandished the sword paced back for three steps in order to stabilize herself. Her sharp eyes were tightly locked on the stocky man and she sneered, “Hmph, such weak ability users, yet you dare to waylay in broad daylight? Surely not all Frenchmen are as wild and unbridled as you?”
The stocky man’s expression turned a bit ugly, and he likewise glared back at the middle-aged woman and growled, “Who the hell are you? What power did you just use, and how can it be that powerful?”
The middle-aged woman just sneered in response and ignored him. Instead, she looked at the surprised Tang Min and nodded at her, then returned to her previous position behind.
“Do the others have similar strength as you?” asked Tang Min hurriedly.
“More or less, yes,” answered the middle-aged woman.
“If the four of you join forces, can you kill their leader?” asked Tang Min once again.
“I would need some major effort to do so if it’s me alone, but the collateral damage would destroy the ship. If two of us join forces, it would be enough to eliminate him. And he would never leave this sea again even if he had two lives if the four of us join hands.” The middle-aged woman nodded.
“Then what are you waiting for? Just kill them immediately, these French are really screwed!” said Tang Min excitedly.
“Don’t act for now,” said Tang Guosheng quickly. “They have too many people and their strength is not something to scoff at. I’ll tell them to retreat first; it wouldn’t be too late for you to act if they refuse.”
The power of the middle-aged woman sent by his grandson, Tang Xiu, truly shocked him. He thought that Tang Xiu had neglected these people. It made Tang Guosheng instantly remember that his grandson told him that all core members of the Everlasting Feast Hall were Daoist cultivators.
At this time, he looked at the Elementalists on the enemy’s ship. His fear and dread were no longer there as he lifted his head up and stared at the stocky man. He then shouted heavily, “This is your last warning. BACK OFF AT ONCE! Else I will fulfill the threats you gave me, but on you!”
Although the stocky man was a bit perplexed, he was fearless. He still had some deadly cards up his sleeve, so he boisterously laughed at the warning. “Hmph, you wanna scare us away by depending on that old hag? Old man, your old fossil head seems to have been kicked by a donkey, wasn’t it? Waterflood, your turn.”
“No problem.”
A hot, voluptuous woman with a willow-like slender waist and provocative attire paced a few steps forward. With the sound of delicate laughter, drizzles suddenly began to pour down from the sky. At the same time, six men and women in azure attire and holding various types of weapons, came from behind her and rose in the air.
Around the liner they were boarding, the already billowing sea surface suddenly became more violent and the wind increased in intensity. Then, water columns shot up to the sky for a total of 72 pillars, and they absorbed the drizzles around them amid their extreme rotations.
“Be careful. Don’t let the ship be flipped over!”
Tang Min, who was standing on the deck, swayed a few times.
In that instant, the four men and women who had longswords on their backs flashed forward like shooting shells and instantly appeared on the ship in front. Their four longswords were immediately spinning and mixing with each other, instantly forming a Four Divisions Sword Array. This was followed by a burst of horrifying aura which caused the increasingly dense water columns around them to become slightly distorted.
“Sword Shadows–Lightstream!”
An overwhelming sword light that blotted out the sky howled forward towards the enemy ship. The four figures behind the sword light then stirred up the void in the surroundings and formed an exceptional dark space. The seemingly alive water columns were rushing to attack them, but the violently spinning sword light gradually turned the sea into a terrifying space of endless heavy rain.
