Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 51 Hungry Tiger Knife
The fog is getting thicker on the Qingyuan River.

On the cargo ship of Derun Cloth Shop, the guys were doing their job as usual. The whole process was very smooth, and there were sounds of chatting and laughing from time to time. They had traveled back and forth on the Qingyuan River countless times and were very familiar with the situation here, so even though they were about to pass through the Mihun Bay, they did not feel any fear in their hearts.

But at this moment, someone discovered something was wrong.

"Oh no, there's an unknown ship approaching."

The warning sounded, and the people who were originally chatting and laughing were suddenly shocked. At this moment, the fog was cleared away, and three black shadows squeezed out of the fog.

"It's the pirates, the pirates are coming..."

After confirming the identity of the visitor, someone screamed.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire cargo ship became chaotic. However, because the fog obscured their vision, by the time they realized it, it was already too late. They were already going downstream, and it was unrealistic to change course or turn the ship around at this time.

"This is the Dangjiang bandits' territory. Why would they attack us? You know, our Derun Cloth Shop pays them a lot of money every year. Do they really want to tear their relationship with us apart?"

After guessing the identity of the visitor, everyone on the boat was puzzled, but Lin Yong, the captain, understood something.

"Were we discovered? How?"

With a gloomy face, Lin Yong thought carefully, but he didn't know where the news leaked. For safety reasons, he waited until today to bring An Yuxuan on board. After such a long time, most people on the outside world believed that An Yuxuan had escaped quietly or had fallen into someone's hands. The search intensity had been greatly reduced, but he never expected that an accident would eventually happen.

"Perhaps the Dangjiang bandits simply wanted to rob money or perhaps just conduct a simple search."

Holding on to a glimmer of hope, Lin Yong immediately gave orders, asking everyone not to panic, and spoke to the Dangjiang bandits, hoping to resolve the matter through negotiations. At most, he would have to pay more money, but the only answer he got was the silence of the water bandits.

The noisiest and most rampant pirates in the past were all silent today. The three boats were filled with a murderous atmosphere, and the source of all this was brought by the Black Guards. These emotionless murderous puppets even scared the Dangjiang bandits themselves.

"Let's get started. Follow the boss's instructions and kill everyone."

Seeing that the cargo ship was right in front of them, he glanced at Jia Yi, and seeing that he still had no reaction, the second in command Zhou Quan gave the order to attack.

The next moment, the sound of grappling hooks flying rang out, and ropes directly bound the cargo ship of Derun Cloth Shop and connected it to the three pirate ships.

"Brothers, the Second in Command said that whoever boards the other ship first will be rewarded handsomely!"

Shouts rang out and spread across the river, and a leader conveyed comprehensive orders.

Hearing this, all the bandits showed grim smiles on their faces, and blood was gushing from the edges of their knives. There was never a shortage of vicious people in the pirate den, especially when the opponent was a merchant caravan. In a moment, some bandits with good physical skills had already run towards the cargo ship along the rope, fearing that they would be slower than others.

Seeing this scene, the last glimmer of hope in Lin Yong's heart was shattered. Judging from the attitude shown by the other party, they clearly wanted to slaughter everyone and had no intention of talking at all.

"Let's go together. We can't let the bandits get on board."

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yong took the lead and took action first. He raised his knife and cut a rope directly, and cut the bandit who jumped over first in half.

Seeing this, the panicked sailors suddenly regained their resolve and launched a counterattack against the bandits, preventing them from boarding the cargo ship. However, compared to the larger number of pirates, their counterattack was still weak. "Brothers, kill them all! Don't spare any of them. Afterwards, everyone will be rewarded, with plenty of wine, meat, and women."

"Kill."

Shouts and cries of killing rang out one after another, the ropes were tightened, and the distance between the pirate ship and the merchant ship was rapidly shortened. Dozens of bandits were as agile as monkeys and climbed directly onto the merchant ship along the ropes, while other bandits also began to set up gangways between the pirate ship and the merchant ship. For a moment, the situation of the merchant ship took a sharp turn for the worse and became extremely bad.

Swish, blood flowed, dyeing the plywood red. Although there were some guards on the boat of Derun Cloth Shop, they were still inferior to the Dangjiang bandits who were on the edge of a knife and licked blood. In particular, the leader of the black guards, Jia Yi, was the first to take the lead, like a ruthless killing puppet, killing people and ghosts when he saw them, and no one could stop him.

He moved forward without stopping, his target actually heading straight for the room where An Yuxuan was, as if he knew what was there in advance.

But just when Jia Yi was about to fight his way out, Lin Yong seized the opportunity and suddenly pounced from behind him. He looked like a hungry tiger with a fierce momentum. The big knife in his hand turned into his fangs, and he wanted to tear the enemy to pieces.

"die!"

With the belief that he must kill, Lin Yong swung his sword and slashed at Jia Yi's neck. A first-class master is also a human being, and once a person's head is cut off, he will die.

But in the next moment, blood splattered, and the head did not separate from the body. Instead, an extremely dull metallic sound was heard, as if Lin Yong's knife was not cutting flesh and blood, but steel.

"how is this possible?"

Looking at the big knife that stayed at Jia Yi's neck without penetrating even a little, Lin Yong's face was full of disbelief. This Hungry Tiger Knife was his famous skill that had helped him kill countless powerful enemies. He never thought that it would not play any role today.

At some point, Jiayi's body was stained with a layer of black and blue, and he completely lost the breath of life.

"Iron Armor Technique."

Following closely behind, taking all these changes in full view, the second in command Zhou Quan's gaze changed slightly. He did not expect that the first in command would actually teach his signature skills to this guy.

However, although he was very surprised, his movements were not slow. He swooped down like an eagle, and with a flash of his body, he seized the opportunity and attacked Lin Yong.

Faced with this sudden attack, Lin Yong could not put up any effective resistance. You have to know that he is just a second-rate fighter, and his strength is weaker than Jia Yi and Zhou Quan. Now facing the two of them together, he is no match at all.

The next moment, the eagle's claws fell, and Zhou Quan easily took off Lin Yong's head.

"He's also a fool. How much money does it cost to work so hard?"

Raising his hand and looking at Lin Yong who had never closed his eyes, Zhou Quan shook his head. If it were him, he would have escaped long ago. His own life was the most important thing. If this shipload of cargo was lost, it was lost. After all, it was not his own.

"The captain is dead..."

Seeing Lin Yong being killed, the merchant ship guards, who were already at a disadvantage, suddenly collapsed. The balance of victory completely shifted, and there was no suspense anymore.
