Chapter Sixty-seven: Shark Blood Sea
The horn sounded, and a gap opened among the ships. Sang Boyong commanded the ship to sail out of the ship formation. He just wanted to leave the siege as soon as possible. In order to survive, the sailor at the helm did not dare to ask more about where the ship was going. He Fang only rushed forward.
Zhao An's eyes were slightly closed, standing like a mountain on the bow of the boat.
Seeing that the odds of victory were within their grasp, the heroes were all suffocated and said nothing after being brought up by leader Zhao.
The Tie Shou Taoist was outspoken and couldn't hold it in any longer. He took the lead and said: "Leader Zhao, I have always convinced you that there are no plans left unturned, but this time I have to say what I said before. All I need is your order. Three rules." The archers on the ship fired rockets, and it would be difficult for the man named Shang to survive. But why do you want to go to such unnecessary lengths?"
Zhao An smiled but did not answer, and ordered the ships to move again, paying careful attention to the sea surface. If anyone showed his head, the archers would immediately release arrows.
After the instructions were given, he was about to turn around to answer, but Tang Shaojie interrupted him: "You might as well think about it carefully. We ordered the ship to be set on fire. If Miss Shen is killed, I would like to ask you, who is Liang Zi of Xianyun Village? Are you willing to get married? We just let Shen Yu of Xianyun Village and four insignificant people go, what's wrong with that?" Everyone was speechless for a moment.
Zhao An then said: "This is the first one. The second one: All the seniors have just witnessed with your own eyes Chu's unique skill of crossing the water and seizing a boat. He alone can seize a boat and kill people from a hundred feet away, not to mention that there are The two demons are as powerful as him. Therefore, even if we set fire to the boat, we will at most burn Nizi named Shen and the four villains outside the pass, but cannot hurt the real master. If we anger those three top masters again , let’s jump over the wall in a desperate move, and they will all come to our main ship to kill us. Which one of us can be the enemy?”
After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
Zhao An added: "I expected that Chu would definitely protect Miss Shen, and in order to win over Chu Jianghan, Shang Jiutian would definitely take into account Miss Shen's safety, so I forced the three of them to jump into the sea and commit suicide. If we can't drown them, the three of them will definitely consume a lot of energy, which will be of great benefit to us. What's more, once the three of them fall into the water, it will be even more difficult to use light skills to jump onto this lucky boat several feet high. It’s difficult.”
Everyone suddenly realized when they heard this, and some thought that the three of them would die. Those who lowered their guard could not help but tighten their heartstrings again and pay careful attention to the water surface. Some people suddenly realized that Taoist Taoists such as Tieshou no longer complained about Zhao An, but praised him one after another.
Tang Shaojie suddenly shouted: "Oops! We let go of Xiao Nizi named Shen. If the three people named Shang were attached to the bottom of the boat and surfaced after leaving the encirclement, wouldn't it be bad?" He added He quickly added: "You know these three people have martial arts skills, so it is not difficult to attach themselves to the bottom of the ship!"
When the heroes heard this, they thought it was reasonable, and some even shouted that all their previous efforts had been wasted.
Zhao An said: "Don't worry, everyone! If he sincerely wants to win over Chu Jianghan, he will definitely not be like this."
Everyone was puzzled for a moment, and when asked again and again, Zhao An just smiled and did not answer. Only Tang Shaojie thought for a moment, nodded and smiled.
Zhao An also ordered Lu Long and Xiao Feng to personally supervise the ship and secretly followed Shen Yu and the four evil men outside the pass. Then he stood on the main ship and calmly commanded the 17 giant ships to carefully watch the sea. As soon as a person shows his head, arrows will be fired immediately.
After about a stick of incense, the heroes gradually relaxed their vigilance and began to talk privately.
Lu Cangsong endured the pain and whispered to the monk Kongwu next to him: "Master Kongwu, I have heard for a long time that your lineage at Puji Temple in Jiuhua Mountain has the ancestral Qi-holding technique. How long can you stay underwater?"
Master Kongwu replied: "It has been passed down from our ancestors that when Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva traveled across the ocean from Silla to China, the ship was wrecked by wind and waves on the way. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sank to the bottom of the sea and was rescued. They spent one night together. . Later, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva mentioned this matter and passed on the mystical skills that he relied on to maintain immortality to all the Zen disciples. Those with deep roots could only learn the superficial skills. Flowers bloom and fall, flowers fall and flowers bloom. Five hundred years later, it was passed on to On Lao Na's head, he could barely hold his breath until the stick of incense was gone."
After hearing this, Lu Cangsong sighed: "Now that the stick of incense has passed, these three people still haven't shown their heads. I really don't know if there is any Bi Xi's mystical power in the world that can surpass your Jiuhua Mountain's unique skills!"
Taoist Iron Hand heard this and asked, "Could it be that these three people really settled the matter?" Lu Cangsong shook his head and said, "I don't think so!"
Tang Shaojie also walked up to Zhao An and whispered: "Leader, these three thieves have never surfaced. I'm worried that they will cling to the bottom of the boat and sink our bottom with swords..."
Zhao An replied: "As long as they make a noise, it doesn't matter if we abandon a few ships. The important thing is that if this is the case, it will not be difficult for us to judge their location, and we will be more proactive in taking action. I'm afraid. What's more, they are always lurking around and giving us a surprise attack, so we will be more passive."
Tang Shaojie seemed to have stopped talking. He held a hidden weapon in his hand, and like a group of heroes, he also watched the sea carefully. Once someone showed up, he planned to use the hidden weapon suddenly to win the first prize.
Besides, Chu Jianghan jumped into the sea and was aroused by the cold water. He immediately sobered up a lot. A sense of regret had already welled up in his heart: I really shouldn't have been so reckless. If Yu'er had another shortcoming, what would happen again? What to do?
There was a roar in my ears, and when I opened my eyes and looked around, there was no sign of Shang Jiutian and Xue Zongchang. When I looked up again, I saw the shadow of the boat swimming. I suddenly remembered that I was not familiar with water. After a splash, I just mastered some water skills and tried to float upward.
As he went higher up, the water surface became clearer. Chu Jianghan felt a little at peace in his heart. He saw that the boats on the water surface were coming and going erratically. He felt uncomfortable in his chest because he was not used to holding his breath. He felt angry in his heart and wanted to dive out of the water, then jump on the big boat and kill a few of them. , saw two people floating above from a distance, guessing that they must be Shang Jiutian and Xue Zongchang, so they used their hands and feet to barely dive over.
When they got closer, they saw Shang Jiutian and Xue Zongchang facing each other. They had their legs crossed and their hands clasped in front of their chests. They were standing upright in the water as if they were meditating. They were confused and wanted to call them out of the water. Shang Jiutian opened his eyes. He stretched out his hand to call himself over.
Chu Jianghan sneaked up next to the two of them. He couldn't speak, so he wanted to stretch out his hands to make gestures. However, due to his limited water ability, he gave up after just one or two gestures.
Xue Zongchang also signaled for him to cross his legs. Chu Jianghan failed to understand it for a moment, and the two closed their eyes and ignored him.
Chu Jianghan suddenly understood: It turned out that these two people were practicing kung fu and holding their breath. Looking at their postures, they seemed to have become more powerful. The two of them were practicing to communicate with the gods, and due to their respective identities, they probably didn't have the opportunity to compete on weekdays, so they took advantage of this opportunity to hold their breath and test each other's cultivation. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but arouse his passion. With a desire to win, they also crossed their knees like the two of them, silently reciting the immortal secrets taught by their mentor Ziyang Zhenren, and used their magical skills.
Because I couldn't breathe in or out, the energy flowing through Tianjintong Xuanguan was different from that on land. For a moment, I felt pain all over my body, and I almost opened my mouth and nose. none. After a while, I felt like a feather floating in the wind, the pores all over my body opened, everything was silent, and I reached a state I had never experienced before.
I don't know how much time passed, but Chu Jianghan suddenly felt that the sea water around him was being pushed towards him by a huge force, but it was not an overbearing force. He hurriedly opened his eyes and saw three white shadows swimming by him from a distance. Pass.
When he turned around to look, he was so frightened that he saw three living creatures several feet long!
The three living creatures quickly rushed towards the floating corpse floating in the water, and in a blink of an eye they had swallowed it clean. It was the archer they had just killed.
Chu Jianghan no longer wanted to meditate, and hurriedly pulled out the long sword on his back. The three living creatures were extremely sensitive, seeming to have sensed Chu Jianghan's movements. They opened their huge mouths the size of a wheel and exposed their sword-like teeth. Jump towards yourself.
Chu Jianghan had never seen such a giant thing before. Although he had great skills, he could not help but suffer from stage fright due to his limited water ability.
Suddenly, Shang Jiutian raised his hand and struck the first one with a water column.
Xue Zongchang did not lag behind, and then slapped the other one. After each of the two big fish received a blow, their bodies shrank back, and after a period of fluttering, their bellies turned upwards, and slowly floated one after another. Towards the water.
Chu Jianghan didn't want to fall behind. He waved the sword in his palm, and the remaining one was cut into two sections. In an instant, his intestines and stomach were leaking out, and the blood was stained red.
Shang Jiutian waved his hand to signal the three of them to go up. Chu Jianghan had experienced such an encounter again, and the real energy in his chest was already churning. He was afraid that if he could hold on for a while, he would no longer be able to hold his breath, so he only followed Shang Jiutian and Xue Zongchang to dive upward. go.
When he was almost close to the water, Xue Zongchang suddenly drew out his sword and struck the bottom of a boat several times. His martial arts skills were already at the peak, and his swordsmanship was superb. Even though he was underwater, his power did not seem to be reduced by half. With only three or five strikes, the bottom of the boat was struck. A huge hole opened, and then the giant ship stopped moving. After a while of shaking, someone was seen jumping into the water. It was obvious that the giant ship was leaking and was about to sink.
Chu Jianghan was delighted when he saw this, and he cut three or five ships into pieces in the same manner. He was about to look to the side again but was stopped by Shang Jiutian. Seeing Shang Jiutian and Xue Zongchang quickly taking off their coats, Chu Jianghan knew that they were about to surface, so he also took off his coats and followed them away.
The three of them quietly approached the bottom of another ship. They secretly pressed their inner strength against the ship's rail and climbed up carefully. When they entered the water, they heard a pot of porridge being cooked on top. The three of them took the opportunity to carefully climb onto another huge ship.
How powerful are the three of them? How can others find out if they are secretly lurking in corners? In addition, all the ships were trying their best to rescue the people who fell into the water. Zhao An's instructions had been forgotten for a long time. How could they know that the three people were getting on the ship again.
Chu Jianghan felt refreshed and felt as light as a swallow. Looking up, the water surface was filled with wooden barrel planks. Although the people who fell into the water were all proficient in water properties, they could not float on the water for a long time. Throwing down ropes and other objects to rescue him, Chu Jianghan felt proud when he saw this.
Suddenly someone shouted hysterically: "Shark!"
Chu Jianghan looked back and saw a group of black-backed things approaching from a distance, about several feet long, with their backs exposed from time to time. Their speed was like sharp arrows.
Chu Jianghan couldn't help but tremble all over: What he encountered under the water when he was in love was a shark!
Thanks to the cleverness of these two old men, if you still stay under the water and encounter such monsters, no matter how good your martial arts and spiritual skills are, you will never get the slightest advantage!
There was only a scream and howl, and in the blink of an eye, a large area was dyed red with blood. The group of sharks opened their bloody mouths and started eating. The person who fell into the water had been completely eaten, and even the same kind that had only been killed by three people was eaten. They were also rushed to swallow.
Chu Jianghan's heart felt cold, and he secretly regretted that he should not have sunk the ship, so that so many people died among these beasts.
Zhao An was so angry that he shouted: "Fire arrows and shoot these beasts to death!" He drew out his long sword and took the lead in slashing at the group of sharks. When the sword energy passed by, several giant sharks were cut down into tree segments alive. There are also archers who string their bows and shoot at the group of sharks.
Ten or two of the sharks in the group were dead or injured, and the blood flow continued. The uninjured ones opened their bloody mouths, and in turn cannibalized the same kind.
For a moment, blood filled the nostrils and the sea surface was stained with blood. The condition was too horrific to behold. Chu Jianghan was frightened and sweating profusely.
Shang Jiutian sighed and said: "Sharks are bloodthirsty and can recognize the smell of blood from miles away. They come in groups of two or three to look for food. They are more ferocious than tigers and bears, and their venom is more powerful than snakes and scorpions." After speaking for a long time, Lost a breath.
Xue Zongchang continued: "The first three may have come smelling human blood. The following group may have smelled human blood first and then came smelling the smell of sharks."
Chu Jianghan's face turned red when he heard this, and he had nothing to say anymore: He had seized the boat to kill people before, and used his sword to kill sharks underwater. The smell of blood was all caused by himself!
Xue Zongchang said again: "Leader, if we take advantage of this moment to attack, as long as we knock the opponent into the sea, if we don't do it, these beasts will help us take care of our enemies."
After hearing this, Shang Jiutian shook his head and said calmly: "In this way, we can destroy the powerful enemy, but how are we different from animals? How can we be heroes?"
Suddenly Shang Jiutian turned to Chu Jianghan and said: "Brother Chu, the three of us were just flipping and holding our breath in the water to compete, and there was no difference between the strong and the weak. Why don't we ask a question about this giant shark in the water to see who is in the group of sharks?" The one who kills the most before retreating will be considered the winner, what do you think?"
Before Chu Jianghan could answer, Shang Jiutian laughed loudly and raised his hand towards the water. In response, a giant shark flipped up from the water several feet high. It landed with its belly facing up and was lifted up several feet high. The waves are coming. Xue Zongchang also raised his palms and patted the water, and another giant shark died in response.
Chu Jianghan became aggressive, and only then did he realize that there was no winner or loser, but after just a few more moments, he couldn't hold on any longer. Now that there was a shark-slaying battle, he couldn't lag behind no matter what. At that moment, he used the thirty-six wind spirit palms and killed one in the same way. He felt happy again when he took action. It turned out that his cultivation level had improved a lot. The power of this palm was obviously better than before.
Shang Jiutian noticed something and was secretly surprised: This kid only held his breath and adjusted his breath underwater for about two hours, how could he improve his internal energy so much? It seems that he accidentally learned my unique method of internal strength cultivation!
Xue Zongchang also realized that when he fought with him in the ruined temple, he was only better than him in Qinggong and swordsmanship. In terms of internal strength and palm skills, he was absolutely inferior to him. Unexpectedly, not long after we left, this boy's internal strength has improved rapidly, and he can almost catch up with me. Thinking of this, I admire this junior even more.
The three people used the open palm technique to kill the giant sharks in the water, and a large group of sharks died immediately.
Xiao Luoluo saw three unfamiliar faces, each of whom was highly skilled in martial arts. He reported the situation early and reported the whereabouts of the three people to Zhao A.
Six huge ships sank, and countless people were lost. However, the three people calmly boarded the ship again and slaughtered the sharks with great interest. Zhao An was so angry that the three corpses jumped up, smoke was coming from his orifices, and he cursed in anger, He also ordered all the ships to surround them again, vowing to capture the three men alive, skin them and cramp them.
The heroes followed the order, abandoned the sharks and came to capture Shang Jiutian and the others.
Shang Jiutian jumped up and laughed wildly when he saw it, and said: "Leader Zhao, you tried every possible means to force the three of me to jump into the sea. You just wanted to use up the skills of the three of me and take advantage of it. How about it? God's calculations are not as good as those of others. In the end, it is you. A huge ship sank, and so many heroes lost their lives for no reason at the mouth of a group of sharks. How can you, a smart, immoral and incompetent person like you, be the leader of the world's martial arts world? How can you explain to the heroes of the world? The three of me saw all the heroes in the world. I am really angry that I lost my life, so I helped you kill the shark for revenge, but how can you repay the favor with kindness and make the heroes of the world come against me?"
What he said was so powerful that Zhao An was so angry that he could only squeeze out the word "you..." and could no longer speak.
Shang Jiutian shouted again: "Heroes, since Zhao became the leader of the martial arts alliance, everything he did was obviously for the justice of the martial arts, but secretly he used various sects as spearheads. . If he succeeds, this eternally famous achievement belongs to Zhao He of Huashan. If he fails, it will be the loss of other sects. I want to ask, whether Zhao He can charge forward and back, and bleed and die. Have you ever dispatched a soldier from the Huashan sect? How many people and swords of the Huashan sect have been lost? In the end, this guy named Zhao only consumed the snobbery of other sects and became big, but he is the Huashan sect! You are all martial arts There is a hero with honor and dignity in the story, but there is something fishy about it, so I won’t allow you to say more, right?”
After hearing this, Zhao An's face flushed red, and when he was about to reply, he heard Shang Jiutian say: "Heroes, I also have disciples and disciples. Today I saw with my own eyes the loss of so many young heroes. I really feel sorry for you. I have no intention of fighting with you to the death anymore. I dare to ask for a small boat again and leave here. You all, please count the troops and go back! After returning, the wounds that need to be healed will be healed, and the wounds that deserve to be buried will be buried." After saying this, he clasped his hands in his fists, He raised his voice again and said: "We will meet again in the future, and it's not too late to give it a try!"
The heroes were already exhausted physically and mentally after seeing the horror of the sharks eating people. When they heard this, their fighting spirit was also mostly gone.
Ren Feng of the Haisha Gang saw the ship destroyed and people dead with his own eyes. He had lost his mind for a long time. He cried so hard that his heart was broken and he couldn't help him. Hearing this again, he shook his head and cried: "That's it... that's all..."
Seeing this, Xue Zongchang also said loudly: "If you insist on becoming the enemy, with the strength of the three of me, I can just knock you off the boat without us taking action, and you all will have no chance of surviving!"
After hearing this, the heroes looked at the group of sharks in the sea again, and felt a chill in their hearts.
Ren Feng suddenly stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Leader Zhao, this lucky ship can no longer be damaged no matter what. If Leader Zhao insists on fighting, Ren will sacrifice his life to accompany him, but he must give an order that the other ships should go the same way." Return." After saying this, without waiting for Zhao An's consent, he picked up the horn around his waist and blew a few times.
The rest of the ships got the order and shouted together. The masters on the suppressing ship also took pity on their own children. They simply came without saying a word and allowed the Haisha Gang to turn the rudder and raise the sails. In an instant, they were gone for six months. Seven ships.
Upon seeing this, the Taoist Taoist jumped up, grabbed Ren Feng's collar, and cursed: "I treat you as a villain who is afraid of death, and an incompetent rat. If a man dies, his ears will be dead, how can you live an ignoble existence! Even if Shang doesn't kill you today, Taoist Master will throw you into the sea to feed the sharks!" Master Kongwu and others hurriedly stopped you.
Zhao An was trembling with anger and wanted to say something to stop him, but before he could take a breath, he spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out on the spot.
Chu Jianghan was overjoyed when he saw it and said: "Look, the guy named Zhao is so angry that he fainted! This is called fun. It's best to piss this villain to death!"
Shang Jiutian's face darkened, and he said: "Faint? This person named Zhao is probably pretending, right? It's rare! It's rare!"
