Chapter 175: Chapter 95: Shattered Soul Hand Li Hun! Murderous Intent Skyrocketing!_2
“Enemies! A lot of enemies! Looking at the flags, it’s the Blood Blade Group, Sea Wolf Group, and Ghost Group… There are eight ships of the warship level! They’re approaching us!”
And the scouts of the Giant Whale Gang, climbing high to look into the distance, saw the quickly approaching ships through the fog and the flags fluttering in the wind, and immediately shouted to report the news.
“The Blood Blade Group, Sea Wolf Group, and Ghost Group? Is it the Ninth, Sixth, and Fifth Grand Thieves coming for us? Why are they here?”
Sikong Huang’s pretty face showed an unprecedented seriousness.
In the Blue Rain Sea, there were Eighteen Pirates, which also meant eighteen Sea Pirate Groups, each under the command of a Grand Thief with abundant troops and vast territory. They have friction occasionally, but for the most part, they did not interfere with each other. Wang Tianyuan was ranked seventh among them.
But now three Grand Thieves had come, and they had all mobilized fully, clearly targeting them, the Giant Whale Gang!
“We had just set foot on this island to deal with Wang Tianyuan, and now these three Sea Pirate Groups have followed suit? Someone has betrayed us!”
Sikong Zhan’s face was as dark as water; the operation had been secret, so much so that even the members of the Giant Whale Gang hadn’t been told until they were about to arrive at the island.
Yet, the three Sea Pirate Groups were hot on their heels, obviously a long-standing plot, someone had betrayed them, and Sikong Zhan almost instantly knew who was responsible.
“Meng Sang… Even though he is the Deputy Gang Leader of the Giant Whale Gang, it’s one thing to disagree with me on normal days but to collude with outsiders against me?”
Sikong Zhan clenched his teeth so fiercely they made a grinding sound, his face flushed with rage.
Factional fighting within a gang was normal, but to join forces with an external enemy against one’s own was undoubtedly despicable and contemptible, worthy of the severest punishment!
“Big brother!” Sikong Huang called out from the side.
“Send the order down! Scatter the five warships! Break out! Return to the Giant Whale Gang’s port!”
Sikong Zhan had not lost his cool, and immediately issued the command.
The three Sea Pirate Groups had come prepared, with eight warships at their disposal. A direct battle would most likely result in their complete annihilation. The only option was to break out and minimize the losses!
Everyone was already aboard, the flags were unfurled, and the sailors in the hold were rowing fiercely, propelling the Giant Whale Gang’s five large ships away into the distance.
“They’ve spotted us? No need to hide anymore! Speed up! Today we’ll make sure the Giant Whale Gang never dares to sail again!”
On a hundred-meter class warship flying a wolf head flag, a disheveled man with a knife scar by his eye, like a ferocious wolf, roared with laughter as he gave the order.
“Sikong Zhan! Last time, you escaped by a fluke and kept your life. Today we fight again!”
On another warship, a tall, thin man with triangular eyes and a paper-pale complexion let out a wild roar, his voice traveling nearly ten miles over the sea, revealing his deep cultivation!
This tall, thin man was none other than the Fifth Grand Thief, Shattered Soul Hand Li Hun, who had clashed with Sikong Zhan several months prior. In that battle, Sikong Zhan was gravely wounded and needed several months to recover.
“The Giant Whale Gang’s reputation in the Blue Rain Sea is too prominent; today, they dared to make a move on Wang Tianyuan, so nobody can guarantee they won’t turn on us. They must be dealt a heavy blow in return!”
And a man with a blood-colored Longsword hanging by his waist also had a cold look in his eyes.
Three Sea Pirate Groups had learned that the Giant Whale Gang intended to move against Wang Tianyuan and decided to join forces to confront the Giant Whale Gang!
In the Blue Rain Sea, they had already had conflicts of interest. The Giant Whale Gang was the most powerful, and Sikong Yong had once caused the pirates to tremble with fear, leaving behind enmity; now was their chance to take revenge!
“Meng Sang…”
Aboard the Black Whale, Su Changkong had a dark expression, knowing that the three Sea Pirate Groups’ attack was definitely related to Meng Sang, and his desire to kill grew even stronger.
Above the sea, the Giant Whale Gang’s five warships sailed at full speed, with Sea Pirate ships in the fog chasing relentlessly.
“Don’t let them escape!”
Chasing down other ships on the sea wasn’t so simple. The speeds were similar and the pirates aboard could hardly contain their eagerness, as if they wanted to carry the ships on their backs!
The chase continued for miles.
“Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder!”
On the Black Whale, a scout in the crow’s nest suddenly changed his expression and urgently yelled down.
On the side of the Black Whale, a warship unfurled its sails, speeding along with the wind, heading straight for the Black Whale with a reinforced ram at its prow!
Ship to ship collision was one of the most effective means in naval combat, but usually, it resulted in mutual damage and was not resorted to lightly. However, the three Sea Pirate Groups were desperate for a victory and took advantage of the wind direction to command a distant vessel to cut off and execute a direct hit!
“Attack them! Don’t let them get close!”
The frantic cries on the Black Whale were non-stop.
The Black Whale was equipped with long-range trebuchets, with giant mechanical arms launching massive stones, hundreds of pounds each, into the air, creating arcing trajectories towards the incoming Sea Pirate ship.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
The huge stones crashed onto the deck, making large holes, but sinking such a hundred-meter class warship was not so easy.
There were also martial artists drawing bows and shooting arrows at the approaching Sea Pirate ship, but they could not prevent the pirate ship’s approach.
Despite the Black Whale’s helmsman frantically turning the rudder to widen the gap, even among the martial artists of the Giant Whale Gang, many were highly skilled, but in this situation, they could only watch helplessly as the Sea Pirate ship, carried by the wind, got closer and the reinforced ram brutally struck the Black Whale.
