Chapter 112 - Unexpected Mission (1/2)

Arg! Uggh!

Enemy pirates tried in every way to hit Hei, who was rapidly moving on the ship's deck. It didn't matter if the ground was slippery due to water or blood, Hei's claws stuck easily into the wood, thus keeping him firmly in place.

His hair was a perfect defense that blocked his opponents' blades. Not even when he was surrounded, they managed to penetrate that defense. He was currently using his hands to maneuver his spear instead of using the full combat mode. After all, when he was in a numerically disadvantaged situation, it was preferable to leave Snake Hair as a continuous defense. In any case, when he saw the right opportunity, he would use Snake Fist with his feet.

The speed of Snake Fist, combined with the penetrating force of Best Claws, was enough to hurt the enemies around him quickly. Soon, they became less and less until they all ended up becoming lifeless bodies on the ground.

Around him, the still-living enemies and his allies were looking stunned at him.

A martial artist so young had slaughtered a dozen people as if they were flies to be crushed. Even if he had higher cultivation than his opponents, it was still a remarkable feat. But it was more the decisiveness in his attacks that surprised them.

As pirates, they had learned to become ruthless and kill their enemy without batting an eyelid. But it was something they had learned over time. None of them when they were young as Hei could have done something like this.

Regardless of the people's looks, Hei shifted his eyes to the still-living seventh stage, who was fighting against Mo Songmin. With every man who died at the hands of Hei, the enemy captain would feel the grip on his neck tightening.

He was now at the point where he could feel his breath fail as the fight against Mo Songmin consumed his energies.

”Spider Lance.”

Hei's blow came from behind his back, and his arm ended up popping out of the mouth of the enemy pirate, splashing the blood and teeth of the man on Mo Songmin's face.

Mo Songmin looked at that scene in horror. A seventh stage like him, although at the limit of his strength, had been easily killed with one shot. Still incredulous, he removed the blood from his face as he watched Hei move once more towards the remaining enemies.

In the meantime, something similar was happening in the other combat ships. Lian, Xing, and Ye had easily killed the crews of the merchant ships. Then they were retrieved by the Old Tohyon and boarded the other ships.

Lian went to the most difficult battlefield, where the crews of two enemy ships were fighting against the crew of a single allied ship. However, Lian's arrival turned the tables.

The young girl, like a star fairy, elegantly fluttered over the ship's slippery red bridge. Her silk ribbons were like metal whips that crashed hard against the enemies' bodies.

None of Hong Shin crew's pirates knew how to catch her. They were frantically moving their blades but without making contact. The situation got even worse when Hei also arrived.

Like a ferocious beast, Hei ran on all fours on the deck. His hair was holding the spear while he attacked from that height.

Realizing Hei's presence, Lian began to act like a bait as she directed her pursuers to Hei, thus bringing them straight into the jaws of that deadly beast.

Ye and Xing were, in turn, sowing terror in both enemies and allies. Although they were seafarers with a lot of adventures and dangers in their lives, none of what they had seen was comparable to the gruesome spectacle ahead of them.

A spider and a snake, both two meters long, were tearing the bodies of Hong Shin pirates to pieces with ease. Heads, eyes, and guts were flying everywhere as scarlet blood painted the bodies of the two divine beasts that were emitting loud metallic noises, or at least that was what appeared to the ears of the spectators.

'Take this, stupid pirate. Taste the fury of the Pirate Queen Ye!'

'If you are the Pirate Queen, then I am the Empress of the Forgotten Ocean, Xing!'

The two divine beasts were communicating even though they were two separate ships. At the time, they were competing with each other to see who would kill the enemies fastest. The prize was that the winner would decide for a week which games they would play during their free time.

It was to be known that Hei would always allow a couple of hours of play a day to his little sisters, and sometimes he and Lian would participate in the game sessions of the two little divine beasts.

Eventually, Xing won, by a slight margin, though. Ye shook her head, disconsolate in defeat.

'Oh, no! I lost! Ugh, sigh.'

Seeing her sad, Xing let herself be pitied and offered to split the prize.

'You were unfortunate that there were a couple more of men on your ship. How about if we do fifty-fifty? I choose the game to play for the first half of the week, and the rest of the week, you will choose it, okay?'

Hearing her words, Ye rejoiced instantly.

'Really? Thanks, Xing. Then to thank you, I will help you one morning in your weaving work.'

Ye smiled to herself as she thought she had tricked Xing and managed to grab half the prize. But as she felt uncomfortable, she gave Xing one morning of help with her weaving, although Ye preferred to sleep.

Thus, the naval battle ended. Hong Shin's crews and his affiliated mercenaries had been defeated. Most had died, and the few survivors had been taken prisoner and loaded onto the ships. The drug loads were set on fire together with the merchant ships that carried them.
