Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 532 Chen Jie: Basong, I wonder if I'm even qualified to be your opponent!

"Kill!"

The pirates received Basong's order and immediately prepared to attack. They had also figured out that the enemy's most powerful commander, Libona, was not originally a match for Basong's Grand Tutor. It was only with the support of the army formation behind him that he was able to compete with Basong's Grand Tutor.

All they need to do now is break up the enemy formation behind Libona, and victory in this battle will be theirs.

And after the victory, they will all be first-class meritorious officials. You should know that Basong recruited them by saying that as long as they made military achievements, Basong would also fulfill what Wu Pingwang had promised. What does that mean? It means the governorship that Wu Pingwang had previously recognized.

Basong is still willing to give, as long as they can make contributions. But how can they make contributions?

This is something pirates often think about, but now things have become concrete, and the method to achieve merit has been told to you. That's right, it's to break up the enemy's formation, prevent the enemy commander Libona from receiving the support of the army formation, and cause Libona to be defeated.

The defeat of the enemy's commander-in-chief has a drastic impact on the entire battle. They have never seen the Nanyang Army still have the will to fight when their commander-in-chief is defeated. At that time, the Nanyang Army will probably collapse immediately.

The outcome of the battle would then be obvious, and those warriors who helped the Grand Master of Basong achieve victory should receive the most generous reward, such as the position of governor!

Thinking this, the pirates' eyes immediately turned red. As the saying goes, a great reward will surely bring forth brave men, let alone a governorship that could completely change their fate and the fate of their entire family.
That was the most crucial step for them to transform from pirates into members of the upper class. Once they understood this, the pirates no longer hesitated and were ready to fight for the position of governor!

Thinking of the pirates sailing their ships, he prepared to join the battle.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these pirates don't usually achieve any respectable victories against regular armies. But when it comes to the prospect of securing wealth and benefits for their wives and children, these guys are all green with envy and can unleash fighting power far exceeding their usual level.

Just then, a pirate captain stood at the head and shouted loudly, "Men, the chance to make a fortune has arrived! Charge! Break through their formation! Win this battle, and gold and silver treasures will be yours! Kill!"

"kill!"

The captains of the other pirate ships were also cheering their crews on enthusiastically.

"Brothers, charge in! Break their formation! I'll be appointed governor, and you'll all be my generals. Your good days are coming! Kill!"

"kill!"

The next moment, the thirty pirate ships seemed to have been given a stimulant. The soldiers roared and charged forward in their warships, their eyes bloodshot, their minds filled with the riches and glory they would gain after victory. They were truly excited.

The pirates charged forward, brandishing their swords. Seeing this, Basong laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Libona, your battle formation must be arranged according to a certain pattern, right? Now I will send troops to break up your formation. Without the support of this formation, let's see how many punches you can withstand!"

"Hahaha……"

Basong burst into laughter, a confident smile spreading across his face. "I will win this battle!"
Seeing the smile on Basong's face, Libona could no longer smile and could only grit his teeth and persevere.

However, just as the pirates were charging, two groups of fifteen or sixteen warships suddenly appeared from the islands on both sides of the Jialuo Sea, and they attacked from the side.

Because of the foggy weather and poor visibility, many pirates didn't even notice that a group of pirates had suddenly appeared from the side.

Then the rams of these warships slammed into the hulls of these pirate ships with a loud bang, and the pirate ships were broken in half by the warships.

The pirate ship was severely damaged, and many of the sailors on board were knocked unconscious and thrown into the sea.

At this moment, a series of screams erupted. At the same time, a large number of soldiers rushed down from the warship that had launched a sneak attack from the side and charged directly at the pirate ship. The leader of them was none other than Fang Susu.

Fang Susu took the lead, holding a long sword, and charged straight ahead. Behind her, Zhang Cuishan of Wudang was protecting her step by step. Zhang Cuishan generally did not actively harm people. He just guarded Fang Susu's back. Only when someone tried to hurt Fang Susu would Zhang Cuishan take action and kill the other party.

The same scene was not only happening on Fang Susu and Zhang Cuishan's ship, but also on many surrounding warships, where shouts of battle and sounds of fighting all converged together.

They simply left all the charging pirates behind.

The pirates were caught off guard by the surprise attack from the Southeast Asian Allied Forces. The initial brave pirates were wiped out before their ships were rammed by the enemy ships.

At this point, the pirates were completely bewildered. While resisting the attacks of the surrounding Nanyang Allied Forces, deserters began to appear. Those pirates who were hiding at the back, seeing that the situation was not good, disregarded everything else and actually turned around and ran away.

There is absolutely no loyalty to speak of. Of course, if you expect loyalty from a pirate, you're delusional. These pirates will abandon the Imperial Advisor Basong in the same way they abandoned King Wuping.

As Basong witnessed this scene, the smile on his face gradually faded. He knew that his pirate army was full of opportunists, but he never expected them to be so weak, collapsing at the slightest touch from the enemy.

What he didn't expect was that Libona and his men had also arranged ambushes on both sides.

This move was clearly beyond what a reckless man like Li Bona could have come up with, so at this moment Basong suddenly turned his head and looked in one direction, his eyes full of fierceness. He looked directly at Zhang Dingbian.

"Is this guy the infamous War God from Southeast Asia?"

It was he who arranged this military formation, giving these mere scattered soldiers from Southeast Asia some fighting ability. It was his ignorance that gave this incompetent man, Li Bona, the possibility of fighting me.

Han people!

It's Han Chinese again!

Basong's eyes were filled with rage. Han people, why is it always those damned Han people!

His entire life has been ruined by the Han people. Before he was even born, his whole family was chased by the Han people and had no choice but to flee their territory and come to the South China Sea to make a living.

When he grew a little older, he became a disciple of the Han Chinese immortal Bai. He thought he could be with his beloved forever and live happily like this, but who would have thought that the things that happened later would happen.

Once he came to power and became the strongest power in Siam and even Southeast Asia, he was preparing to make his mark and bring all the Southeast Asian countries under his sphere of influence.

Unexpectedly, Fang Guozhen, the Dragon King of the Sea, appeared out of nowhere.

Fang Guozhen was formidable. He roamed the martial world, sweeping across the north and south, and suppressed the South China Sea, where no one dared to disobey. He reclaimed the South China Sea's sphere of influence, leaving Fang Guozhen to live a life of utter misery, barely daring to tuck his tail between his legs.

Just when he finally managed to trap Fang Guozhen and had the opportunity to launch his grand plan in the South China Sea, he unexpectedly encountered another Han Chinese thief in Qianlong Abyss. This thief was even more hateful; he actually stole his divine blood and caused him to lose a substitute straw man. It was too tragic. Could there be anything more tragic in the world?
And today, another Han Chinese has set up an army here to help these scumbags from Southeast Asia and hinder my great cause of unification. Why, why, why is it always the Han Chinese who ruin my plans? Did I desecrate the ancestral graves of the Han people?

Thinking this, Basong felt extremely resentful.

But Libona laughed and said, "Basong, it seems your plan has failed. My army is still intact!"

Seeing Libona's arrogant demeanor, Basong's face suddenly turned extremely ugly. He then looked at Libona and said, "Libona, don't think that you can be arrogant with me just because you defeated a few pirates. Let me tell you, power that doesn't belong to you is useless no matter how much it's enhanced!"

After saying that, Basong vanished from his spot in a flash. Libona was shocked and immediately raised his Fire Pattern Blade to prepare for defense.

But as soon as he turned his head, he saw that Basong did not attack him directly, but instead turned around and attacked Zhang Dingbian, who was standing on the next boat.

"Han people, die!"

He hated Zhang Dingbian for repeatedly ruining his plans. At this moment, he showed no mercy and attacked with a deadly move, aiming straight for Zhang Dingbian. His attack was extremely ruthless, showing that he was truly determined to take Zhang Dingbian's life!
Libona was originally prepared to defend, but when he suddenly saw Basong rushing directly towards Zhang Dingbian, his war god, he panicked.

You must know that he was able to hold his own against Basong entirely because of his own war god's skillful command and the use of the mysterious power of the Eastern military formation to help him fight against Basong. But if his own war god were to have a problem, then he would really have a hard time dealing with it.

Thinking this, Libona disregarded everything else and rushed towards Basong to protect Zhang Dingbian.

However, Libona set off late and was far weaker than Basong, so it had no time to resist Basong.

They could only watch as Basong charged toward Zhang Dingbian.

When Zhang Dingbian saw Basong charging towards him, he panicked and knew he couldn't fight back. So he took a step back and plunged into the water.

When Basong saw Zhang Dingbian jump into the water to save himself, he did not follow suit. Instead, a look of disdain appeared on his face. The next moment, Basong landed on the warship that Zhang Dingbian had just been on.

The next moment, it unleashed a full-force attack on the deck.

boom!
With a deafening roar, the entire warship was blasted apart by Basong's single punch.

With a deafening roar, the earth shook violently, and the entire warship was torn to pieces. Sailors screamed and jumped into the water, while others were swept away by the explosion.

At this moment, Libona caught up from behind and, seeing this scene, his eyes widened in fury. He drew his Fire Pattern Blade and slashed fiercely at Basong: "Basong, you scoundrel, die!"

With a thud, Libona's blade slashed fiercely at Basong.

But the next moment, Basong suddenly disappeared from the spot. Instead of taking the attack, Basong ran away.

This even left Li Bona completely bewildered. What was going on?
But the next moment, Basong appeared on another warship. The Nanyang soldiers on the warship were dumbfounded. Didn't we agree that we would only deal with the enemy's soldiers?
Why did they send over the opposing team's commander? What are we going to do?

Just as the soldier was hesitating about what to do, he saw Basong raise his arm and, in the next moment, throw a punch directly at the deck of the warship in front of him.

After a deafening roar, the earth shook, and the entire warship was bombarded. Ah~
Screams continued as sailors on the ship screamed and fell overboard. The destruction of the warship created a terrifying downward current that dragged countless sailors into the water, making them food for sharks.

Only then did Libona realize that he understood Basong's thoughts.

Since my strength comes from the buffs of the military formation, it would probably take some effort to defeat me head-on. So it would be better to cut off my source of strength at the source.

Aren't we relying on the strength of our army?

Then he'll break through the army's formation and see what power you have left to help you. You could say this move is incredibly ruthless!

Having figured this out, Libona's face immediately showed impatience, but there was nothing he could do. At this point, he could only try to salvage the situation by searching the entire battlefield for Basong.

However, Basong himself is a powerful cultivator at the second level of the Fusion God realm, and his strength is much greater than that of Libona. Even if Libona wanted to capture Basong at this time, it would be impossible for him to do so.

Thus, Libona could only watch helplessly as Basong destroyed the warships in front of him one by one, destroying a total of twelve warships.

Looking at the trembling warships in the field and the completely panicked soldiers of the Nanyang Allied Army.

Basong's gaze narrowed slightly, and at that moment he saw that Libona had completely gone mad, because he found that the power he was carrying was rapidly weakening, and now it was at least one-third weaker than at the beginning.

At this moment, Libona, enraged and even somewhat hysterical, rushed over and roared, "Basong, you bastard, stop right there! If you've got the guts, fight me!"

As Li Bona said this, he slashed at Basong with his sword. He thought Basong would dodge again, but Basong did not dodge. Instead, he looked at Li Bona who was attacking from behind with a cold look in his eyes. The next moment, he threw a punch back hard.

"Shut up, you noisy fly!"

After saying that, he threw a punch. With a loud bang, Libona's Fire Pattern Blade collided with Basong's punch. The next moment, Libona was sent flying by Basong's punch.

"Ah~"

Libona yelled and was immediately swept away. Seeing Libona being swept away, Basong shook his fist arm and said, "Heh, you've weakened so much, huh? Libona, instead of running away, you dare to come up here to die. You're really brave!"

As he spoke, Basong charged at Libona like a cannonball, followed by another punch. Libona, with his sword held horizontally in his chest, blocked the punch.

However, his body was sent flying even faster, crashing into a Siamese warship behind him with a loud bang.

With a loud bang, the Siamese warship was smashed open by Basong, leaving a large hole.

Seeing this, Basong slowly stood on another warship, looking calmly at the large hole.

Click, click, click...

Suddenly, a cracking sound came from inside the large hole. Basong stared at the hole with a calm expression, but then his brows furrowed and his eyes sharpened. Then, the large hole that had been smashed suddenly burst into flames with a loud bang.

The flames spread rapidly, engulfing the entire warship in a flash, and a ball of purple flame suddenly shot out from the large hole.

Mumu~
At the same time, a deep mooing sound rang out, and with that moo, everyone's eyes were focused on the hole. The next moment, they saw Li Bona walk out of it, with his martial arts illusory image appearing behind him.

A divine bull engulfed in purple flames.

Mumu~
The sound of cattle mooing rang out. At this moment, Libona looked at Basong, waved his hand, and pointed his long knife at Basong, saying, "Basong, don't be too arrogant!"

Basong glanced at Libona, then a mocking smile appeared on his face as he said, "Heh, you don't think I'll be afraid of you just because you summoned an old ox to plow the fields, do you?"

"Come and see, let me tell you what true power really is!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt a sense of oppression in the air, as if a terrifying power was gathering. At that moment, a terrifying hissing sound, like the low groan of a demon, suddenly rang out behind Basong.

At this moment, everyone was drawn to this scene and looked at Basong. Then, a terrifying sound came from behind Basong, and a horrifying nine-headed serpent appeared behind him.

"puff!"

Seeing this, Zhang Dingbian, who had been hiding in the water, also looked over, his eyes filled with shock. What was this?
Zhang Dingbian was equally shocked, as were Fang Susu and Zhang Cuishan, who were killing pirates. Fang Susu turned her head and looked over, her face immediately showing a look of horror. What kind of monster is this?!

Zhang Cuishan said, "It has a snake's body and nine heads, devours countless people, and turns every place it goes into a swamp. This, this is Xiang Liu!"

After hearing Zhang Cuishan's words, Fang Susu looked at him and said, "Where do you know so much?"

Zhang Cuishan said, "My master has a copy of the Classic of Mountains and Seas in his library. The Nine-Headed Willow is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas: Overseas Northern Classic."

"It is said that the water that he spewed was even more powerful than a fountain, and it was so bitter and spicy that eating it would kill you. Therefore, there was no life within a hundred miles of where Xiangliu was. Later, when Yu the Great was controlling the flood, Xiangliu came out to cause trouble and angered Yu the Great!"

"Yu the Great used his divine power to kill Xiang Liu and rid the people of a scourge. However, whenever his blood touched the land, it would render the land barren and pollute the entire area. Yu the Great had no choice but to try to block the bleeding of Xiang Liu with mud, but he could not stop it even after three attempts. In the end, Yu the Great had no choice but to split open a pool in the area and then ordered the god of food to build high platforms around the pool to suppress the demons."

"Later, that pool became the famous Demon-Suppressing Pool, which suppressed countless great demons in the world."

As Zhang Cuishan spoke, Fang Susu looked at him and asked, "Are these all recorded in that 'Classic of Mountains and Seas'?"

Zhang Cuishan replied, "Hmm."

Fang Susu said, "Let me borrow it to take a look when you have time."

Zhang Cuishan hesitated, "That's Master's book, I...I..."

Fang Susu looked at Zhang Cuishan and said, "Alright, alright, I won't make things difficult for you. If you can't watch, then you can't watch."

Zhang Cuishan fell silent upon hearing this. Fang Susu, seeing Zhang Cuishan's silence, assumed that he had tacitly agreed with her idea and didn't take it seriously. However, after a moment, Zhang Cuishan suddenly seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Um, I, I'll go back and ask my master to lend you the book."

Fang Susu was taken aback and looked at Zhang Cuishan, saying, "I was just kidding. I don't like reading anyway. You should explain this to me."

As Fang Susu spoke, her heart was warmed. Although Zhang Cuishan dared not disobey his master, he was still thinking of her at this moment, and this kindness warmed Fang Susu's heart.

Thinking this, Fang Susu said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about how to deal with this monster. I think that Libona is no match for Basong at all."

Thinking this, Zhang Cuishan said, "That's just mythology. Whether it has anything to do with reality is hard to say."

After listening to Zhang Cuishan's explanation, Fang Susu said, "Hmm, this is going to be difficult."

Thinking this, Basong and Libona had already started fighting. At this point, Libona was truly at his wit's end, so he urged the Purple Flame Divine Ox to attack Basong.

Basong, not to be outdone, urged the Nine-Headed Willow to attack Bona.

Explosions erupted across the battlefield, and the two sides exchanged blows for over a dozen rounds. At this point, it became clear that Libona was running out of steam.

At this moment, the Purple Flame Divine Ox behind him was being whipped wildly by the Nine-Headed Xiangliu. The old ox was in a terrible state; it never imagined in its life that it would have to deal with such a ferocious beast as the Nine-Headed Xiangliu.

Although it was like a mad bull trying to attack, it was like a powerless old ox in front of Jiu Tou Xiang Liu, and was beaten so badly.

When a martial artist reaches the Fusion God Realm, sometimes the martial arts illusion represents the details of their current battle. In other words, Libona's divine bull was beaten into a pulp by the Nine-Headed Xiangliu.

In the real world, Basong punched Libona in the chest, and Libona coughed up blood and slammed onto the deck with a thud.

The deck collapsed directly, and he was barely breathing, clearly on the verge of death.

At this moment, Basong said with a mocking expression, "Hehehe, with such little skill, you dare to fight me? You are really overestimating yourself."

As he spoke, Basong landed on the deck and walked step by step toward Libona. Libona was filled with despair and resentment: "Where is Chen Jiu Si? Didn't he say he would come to help? Why isn't he here yet!"

Meanwhile, the surrounding Nanyang Allied Forces stared wide-eyed at Li Bona's appearance, feeling utterly disheartened. It was all over; they had lost, suffered a crushing defeat.

Fang Susu, Zhang Cuishan, and Zhang Dingbian frowned as they looked at Basong's victorious expression, but there was nothing they could do, because they had no chance of turning the tide.

Lost, completely lost.

At that moment, Basong lifted Libona up, looking at Libona's miserable state with a mocking expression, and said, "Do you even deserve to be my opponent?"

"Uh-huh..."

Libona was being choked by Basong, and he was screaming. Just then, a voice suddenly came over: "Basong, I wonder if I'm qualified to be your opponent!"
