Huayu97: Starting with Wu Song Fighting the Tiger

However, facing these elite and ruthless bandits armed with rifles, there was no chance of victory. A head-on confrontation would not only be disadvantageous but would also endanger the thousands of people on the deck. We had to come up with a way to defeat the enemy, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Liu Xiang glanced quickly behind him and instantly realized that there were 10 pirates tied up inside the ship's cabin.

In an instant, he made up his mind: these 10 ruthless bandits with blood on their hands were a good bait to lure the sharks away the enemy.

He had just discovered that sharks were present. If he used the blood of these 10 ruthless bandits as bait, he would surely attract the sharks. Even if the pirates had guns, they wouldn't be able to get close to the cruise ship. It was a risky move, but he had no way out.

"Huang Kun, quick! Drag those 10 tied-up bandits to the side of the ship immediately, quick!" Liu Xiang shouted in a low voice, her tone full of unquestionable decisiveness. Although Huang Kun was full of doubts and had no idea what Liu Xiang was going to do, in this critical moment, there was no time to ask questions, and he could only choose to trust Liu Xiang.

He immediately arranged for two strong sailors to rush into the cabin and drag the 10 pirates to the side of the ship.

The ten thugs were tightly bound with thick hemp ropes, unable to move, and their mouths were stuffed with greasy rags, preventing them from making a complete sound. When they saw Liu Xiang's cold and icy eyes, devoid of any warmth, a barely perceptible fear finally flashed in their eyes. However, their inherent ferocity had not subsided, and they still forced themselves to be tough, glaring at Liu Xiang with stiff necks, trying to use their fierce expressions to cover up their inner panic.

Liu Xiang walked up to the fiercest bald pirate first and ripped the rag out of his mouth. This guy was the leader of this group of ruthless bandits. He was the one who directed his accomplices to commit evil deeds in the guest room on the second floor. He was also the one who personally injured two security guards. His methods were extremely cruel. Now that he could speak, he opened his mouth and cursed viciously.

He shouted, spitting as he spoke, "You bastard! If you have the guts, release me! Our leader has brought so many elite troops here; today we're going to tear your entire ship to pieces, burn this wrecked vessel to the ground, and leave not a single survivor!"

Liu Xiang was too lazy to waste words with him. Dealing with such a desperate criminal was a waste of breath. He quickly pulled out a pirate's sword that he had picked up during the search of the cabin. The blade was extremely sharp and gleamed with a cold light under the cover of night, making people shudder.

His eyes were devoid of any warmth. His right hand pressed firmly on the bald pirate's shoulder, preventing him from moving at all. Then, without hesitation, he precisely plunged the dagger into the pirate's chest!

The bald pirate's fierce expression froze instantly, his eyes widened, and before he could even utter a scream, his body went limp and collapsed. Blood gushed from the blade of his dagger, quickly staining the deck along the ship's side red, and the stench of blood instantly filled the deck.

Liu Xiang swiftly drew his dagger, blood splattering half of his sleeve, but he was oblivious. He bent down, hoisted the still-bleeding bald corpse onto his shoulder, and strode to the edge of the ship's railing, his sharp gaze fixed on the speedboat on the sea.

At this moment, the elite pirates on the sea were rapidly approaching. When they saw Liu Xiang carrying a corpse and standing by the ship's side, they all turned their heads to look. However, they didn't take it seriously at all, thinking that Liu Xiang was just trying to intimidate them by throwing the corpse. They thought it was just a bluff and their faces were full of disdain. They continued to shout and speed up, completely unaware that death was already quietly approaching them.

Liu Xiang had already calculated everything perfectly. The smell of blood could spread quickly in the sea without being carried too far by the ocean currents, which would precisely attract sharks. He also knew the sharks' habits. Nighttime was the time when sharks were most active in hunting. Such a strong smell of blood would surely attract them and make them gather frantically, thus getting close to the small boat.

He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and with a sudden burst of strength, threw the bald man's body into the sea! A dull splash echoed across the still sea, and the blood instantly mingled with the water as the body hit the surface.

At this moment, the blood-like substance spread rapidly with the ocean currents, and the pungent smell of blood mixed with the sea breeze drifted straight towards the deep sea area.

Liu Xiang didn't dare to delay for a moment. She immediately turned around and walked to the second thug, tearing the rag out of his mouth.

This guy witnessed the entire gruesome death of the bald gang leader, and was completely terrified. His legs went weak, and he struggled frantically, crying and begging for mercy, his voice trembling: "I shouldn't have gotten on that ship! Please spare my life, I'll never be a pirate again!"

"When you injured the others, why didn't you think of leaving them a way out?" Liu Xiang's tone was flat, his eyes devoid of any pity. He never showed mercy to these ruthless bandits whose hands were stained with blood and who had committed countless evil deeds. As soon as he finished speaking, the dagger fell again with precision, a single, fatal blow. He steadily lifted another bloodied corpse and hurled it heavily into the dark sea!

When the second body fell into the water, the smell of blood on the sea surface instantly doubled, and the pungent odor became even stronger.

Liu Xiang's movements became increasingly swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation. He ripped the rags from the mouths of the thugs one by one, and his dagger pierced their chests with pinpoint accuracy. One after another, he tossed the still-bleeding corpses into the sea. With each body hitting the water, the crimson hue on the surface of the sea deepened, and the intense stench of blood, with its powerful penetrating force, spread rapidly into the depths of the ocean with the sea breeze and currents.

At that moment, a deadly aura formed on the dark sea.

Not long after, subtle movements appeared on the sea surface. First, a few barely noticeable ripples appeared, and then three or four distinctive triangular shark dorsal fins suddenly slashed through the water, rushing towards the source of the bloody smell like arrows! These sharks were quite large and swam extremely fast, clearly attracted by the strong smell of blood and eager to find their prey.

The elite pirates on the sea finally sensed something was wrong. When they clearly saw the several shark dorsal fins, their faces instantly turned deathly pale. They had spent years making a living at sea and knew better than anyone the ferocity of sharks; they were deadly killers of the sea, and once targeted by a shark, there was no chance of survival.

Their movements froze instantly, and panicked screams erupted from their mouths. Their previous arrogance vanished, leaving only deep fear.

Liu Xiang didn't stop. He knew he needed to gather enough blood to attract enough sharks to form an unbreakable barrier of death, completely stopping the pirates. By the time he threw the seventh corpse into the sea, the number of sharks on the surface had increased to six. Smelling the increasingly strong scent of blood, the sharks went into a frenzy.

They darted across the sea, frantically scrambling for the bodies that had fallen into the water, creating waves of blood that were utterly horrifying to watch.
