Chapter 272 Crisis, Counterattack, and Robbery

Boom!

On the sea, a giant ship sailing by suddenly made a violent impact sound.

The entire ship shuddered violently.

"What happened?"

Inside the cabin, Dong Ji opened his eyes.

Previously, both he and Xue Jinghua had been injured in their battle with the Night Beast and were recuperating from their injuries.

However, the violent impact woke Dong Ji from his recuperation.

"A sea monster is attacking!"

Just then, Dong Ji also heard shouts coming from the deck outside the cabin.

Immediately afterwards, Dong Ji sensed the aura of a demonic beast floating beside the ship.

"It seems we've been attacked by countless sea monsters!"

Dong Ji didn't think much of it and went straight out of the room to the deck.

He could sense that the aura of that sea monster was very powerful, at the peak of the mid-stage of the Dao Realm. It would be difficult for the others on the ship to deal with it in a short time.

Not only Dong Ji, but Xue Jinghua also sensed it.

She recognized the voice calling out to Cen Yumou, so she also left the cabin and went to the deck.

After that, Xu Ning, Zhang He, Duan Chaofeng, Mo Lan and the others also rushed from the cabin to the deck.

The impact made them uneasy, so they all came up to check the situation.

"It's a sea monster!"

As soon as Xu Ning came aboard, he saw several large tentacles that had already stretched out of the sea and were clinging to the edge of the ship.

It was a huge monster that looked like a squid. Its tentacles were twisting wildly, and its massive body seemed about to squeeze onto the ship.

"Let's solve it together."

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua exchanged a glance, preparing to kill or drive away the squid monster at the same time.

"Young Master, let's go back. It's just a mid-level Dao Realm demon beast. Two high-level Grandmasters can definitely handle it easily."

Zhang He said to Duan Chaofeng.

"it is good."

At first, Duan Chaofeng thought it was the Night Beast chasing after him, and he was a little nervous.

After confirming that it was just a sea monster that had attacked the ship halfway through its journey, I felt much more at ease.

"Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang, what are you two doing on this deck instead of resting indoors?"

At this moment, Mo Lan saw Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang staring intently at the squid monster, their expressions somewhat tense.

"We just..."

The two of them immediately became somewhat uncomfortable when asked this question.

Mo Lan found it strange and was about to ask again.

But at that moment, the squid monster launched itself and landed directly on the deck.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

"Princess, be careful!"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua first dealt a powerful blow to the squid monster, and then protected Duan Chaofeng, Mo Lan and the others.

Hu Hu Hu.

At this moment, the squid monster's body suddenly seemed to inflate, its already enormous body becoming even more swollen.

Fierce energy was accumulating inside its body.

"not good!"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua's expressions changed simultaneously: "It's going to self-destruct!"

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, the squid monster's body suddenly exploded.

In the blink of an eye, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua didn't have time to send the people behind them into the spatial treasure.

Therefore, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua simultaneously channeled their Dao Realm power and joined forces to construct a transparent barrier in front of them.

A terrifying shockwave nearly capsized the ship.

However, those protected by Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua did not suffer any injuries.

However, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua's breathing was somewhat disordered.

"What's going on? Why would a mid-stage Dao Realm demon beast choose to self-destruct for no reason?"

Xu Ning was hiding behind Dong Ji and was not affected.

The incredibly violent explosive force left Xu Ning somewhat shaken.

The self-destruction of a mid-stage peak Dao Realm demon beast is comparable in power to an ordinary strike from a seventh-level Dao Realm Grandmaster.

The ship is now riddled with holes, and if it wants to continue its long voyage, it will have to be replaced.

"Senior Dong, are you alright?"

Duan Chaofeng asked proactively.

Mo Lan, who was standing next to Xue Jinghua, also expressed her concern.

In order to protect the people behind them, and because the barrier was formed in a hurry, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua both suffered minor injuries.

However, this kind of injury can be repaired quickly.

"It's alright..."

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua both exuded composure and began to heal their injuries first.

However, at that moment, Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang exchanged a glance.

Then, while Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua were regulating their breathing, the two threw the round stone fragments that they had previously stored away at Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua respectively.

"Cen Yumou, Liang Tingang, what are you doing!"

The two's sudden actions startled the people around them.

Zhang Heli was closest to the two men, and almost instinctively, he threw a punch at each of them.

Bang bang!

The two men were sent flying, then coughed up blood.

Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang felt pain, but their expressions remained calm.

Because they have already seen it.

The two round stone discs burst forth with dazzling light the moment they touched Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua. The patterns on the stone discs flew out and materialized, instantly binding Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua.

"This is……"

At this moment, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua also realized what was happening.

They felt that the rotation speed of their inner cores slowed down, and their Dao Realm power was suppressed.

"It's a binding lock!"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua were shocked.

The Binding Force Lock can suppress the strength of a Dao Realm Grandmaster for a short period of time.

Even a high-level Grandmaster of the Dao Realm would have their strength suppressed to less than 40%.

"You two!"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua are about to make a move against Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang.

At that moment, several figures in gray robes suddenly emerged from beneath the sea and landed on the deck, surrounding them.

The leader among them exuded a terrifying aura of the seventh level of the Dao Realm.

The way these people were acting made it clear they had ill intentions.

"Cen Yumou, Liang Tingang! How dare you collude with outsiders!"

Mo Lan was severely impacted.

She never imagined that the two people who obeyed her every word would betray her without her even realizing it.

They were clearly in league with these gray-robed men.

"Who are you people?"

At this point, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua no longer cared about Guan Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang.

They confronted Chu He.

Chu He, who was in the lead, smiled but did not reply.

He gave Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang a satisfied look, which immediately put their minds at ease.

Chu He knew that although he possessed a top-tier concealment treasure that could easily hide his aura, this treasure was not omnipotent. If he took the initiative to attack against a high-level Grandmaster of the same Dao Realm, his power would be dissipated and detected by the opponent.

Therefore, he did not choose the relatively risky method of sneaking in and assassinating, but instead first infiltrated the ship, colluded with Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang, and set up a hidden force. Finally, he used the binding lock on Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua.

In this way, he has gained a significant advantage in terms of the situation.

At this moment, Chu He appeared confident and assured.

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua immediately felt a sense of unease.

"It seems the current situation is even more troublesome than when we encountered the Nightmon..."

Xu Ning, standing behind him, also realized that the situation was fraught with crisis.

"These gray-robed men didn't appear out of nowhere; they were clearly lying in ambush! That squid monster from before was part of their plan."

Xu Ning also clarified the details: "While Senior Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua were regulating their breathing, Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang used the Binding Lock on them. This was definitely something they had communicated with these gray-robed men beforehand!"

Not only Xu Ning, but everyone else also understood this point.

"Let's do it!"

Chu He knew that the binding lock had a time limit, so he didn't dawdle.

"I'll deal with these two Grandmasters at the seventh level of the Dao Realm. You all go and deal with the others!"

Chu He ordered, "Except for the lives of Prince Ye and Princess Nuo, kill the other two!"

"yes!"

Chu Hehou was followed immediately by Lie Ying and the other gray-robed men.

Besides Chu He, their leader, there were six others, three of whom were at the sixth level of the Dao Realm and three at the fifth level of the Dao Realm.

"How dare you attack members of the royal family of Wansheng Prefecture! Aren't you afraid of the severe consequences?!"

Dong Ji's tone was chilling.

"Bear the consequences?"

Chu He laughed loudly: "Not only will I attack, but I will also capture these two princes and princesses, and use them to demand benefits from the Duan royal family!"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua felt a chill run down their spines.

These gray-robed men in front of us have an extremely radical style of doing things.

Even knowing Duan Chaofeng and Mo Lan's identities, they remained fearless.

This indicates that these gray-robed men must have come from a powerful overseas force and were hostile to the Duan imperial family.

"Your Highness, Princess, let's go!"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua could only let Duan Chaofeng, Mo Lan, and the others escape first.

The two dared not take them into the secret treasure space, because Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua knew that after being restricted by the binding force lock, they were unlikely to be a match for this gray-robed leader.

If they were to be defeated by him, Duan Chaofeng and his companions would be easily subdued.

Whoosh!

Bang!

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua took the lead and blocked several men in gray robes.

Upon seeing this, Duan Chaofeng gritted his teeth.

He then released his mount, the five-colored flying bird, from his personal spatial treasure.

"Walk!"

Duan Chaofeng immediately pulled Zhang He, Xu Ning, and even Mo Lan onto the bird's back.

"Stop them!"

Chu He shouted.

However, the gray-robed men were temporarily stopped by Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua, which slowed their pace.

Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang, however, charged straight at Duan Chaofeng and his group.

Knowing they had no way out, they figured they might as well pledge their loyalty to Chu He.

"You traitor!"

Upon seeing this, Mo Lan's face was filled with hatred.

At this moment, the colorful birds were already flapping their wings.

Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang attacked the wings of the colorful birds, attempting to delay their escape.

However, at that moment, Xu Ning, who had already climbed onto the bird's back, suddenly jumped down.

"Xu Ning, what are you doing!"

Duan Chaofeng and Zhang He were greatly surprised.

Xu Ning ignored the two of them. He knew very well that if the five-colored bird's wings were injured, they would definitely not be able to escape.

In an instant, Xu Ning activated the Wind and Smoke Gourd, gripped the Green Wolf Blade, and unleashed his full power.

Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang never expected Xu Ning to turn the tables.

Two quick slashes!

Enveloped in terrifying Dao Realm power, Xu Ning directly killed the two unsuspecting and previously injured individuals.

Then, Xu Ning snatched the storage rings from them and grabbed the claws of the colorful bird the moment it took off.

Whoohoo!

The colorful bird flapped its wings and carried Duan Chaofeng, Mo Lan, Zhang He, and Xu Ning away into the distance.

"Well done!"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua originally thought that Duan Chaofeng, Mo Lan and others would not be able to escape, but they did not expect that Xu Ning would dare to take the initiative to fight back.

In this way, they can focus on fighting the enemy.
