Chapter 288

The Creeping Dragon King broke into laughter. He observed the direction of the wind and ordered the sails to be raised so that they could break out of the encirclement.

Since they knew the direction to break out of the encirclement, Zhang Xiaohua didn't have to worry about anything else. The entire ship was in a mess.

The Creeping Dragon King's sailors were all seasoned veterans, so they gradually regained their composure after a brief moment of chaos. Before he left, Jing glanced at Zhang Xiaohua with a complicated expression. However, he didn't say anything in the end.

Qin Shiyue stared at Zhang Xiaohua for a long time, which made his hair stand on end. Qin Shiyue said, "Follow me if you need help later."

Zhang Xiaohua almost fell to the ground when he heard this. Was this concern or a warning?

However, Zhang Xiaohua knew that Lord Qin was an important person under the protection of the Creeping Dragon King. Following him was the right thing to do.

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and agreed with a smile. Qin Shiyue walked back to the hall on the first floor. The others followed behind him with doubts.

In fact, when Zhang Xiaohua said that he felt a boat behind him, no one believed him at all. They were all people with profound inner strength, so when they circulated their inner strength in their eyes, they could see a little more than ordinary people. However, in this pitch-black night, with no stars or moon, so what if they had inner strength?

However, it turned out that this young man wasn't lying. Moreover, he did say that there were six ships. Not one more, not one less!

They wanted to ask how this young man knew. They didn't believe Zhang Xiaohua's words. Based on his intuition, he might be hiding something. However, Qin Shiyue wanted to bring Zhang Xiaohua back to the Tenryū Sect. Since Qin Shiyue didn't say anything, they didn't dare to ask directly.

Did Qin Shiyue not want to ask? He was also very curious. However, he knew that Zhang Xiaohua was very tight-lipped. Even the Soul-Searching Hand couldn't force him to speak. If Zhang Xiaohua didn't want to say anything, he wouldn't be able to force him to. Moreover, he said that it was based on his intuition. Obviously, he didn't want to say anything. Why should he ask for a rebuff?

On the other hand, he pointed the Soul-Searching Hand at Zhang Xiaohua in anger. The strength, speed, and angle were all top-notch. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to dodge it. In his impression, Zhang Xiaohua would definitely fall to the ground. However, he didn't expect Zhang Xiaohua to dodge it so easily.

This dodge shocked him even more than when Zhang Xiaohua found out that there were pursuers behind him. For a moment, he didn't know what to do next. He seemed to be a little powerless to imprison Zhang Xiaohua. Therefore, he stared at Zhang Xiaohua for a long time and said those words to comfort and appease him.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't care. He didn't want to run away now. The sea was vast. Where could he go?

What he learned was the Earth Escape, not the Water Escape. Besides, he hadn't fully understood it yet.

As for Qin Shiyue, he wasn't an insurmountable mountain in his eyes now. Since there was no fear in his heart, he naturally felt very relaxed.

Zhang Xiaohua sat on a chair in the hall and hid in a corner. He wanted to find a dark place, but the hall was brightly lit. Xu Jiao Wang politely asked for Qin Shiyue's opinion. Qin Shiyue said bluntly, "Xu Jiao Wang, this is the first time I'm going out to sea on a ship. How can I suggest anything? You should command according to your own ideas."

The Xu Jiao King smiled and said, "I know, Lord Qin. Don't worry about this. This isn't the first time the Southern Sea Serpent Palace's ships have been attacked at sea. There are many plans for attack and defense. Jing Laoer is also an old expert. Don't worry."

"Jing Laoer?

Cough, cough. "Qin Shiyue was a little speechless.

The Xu Jiao King seemed to know that he had said too much. He cupped his hands and said, "Lord Qin, do you want to stay in the hall or go outside to take a look?

If you want to watch the battle, we can go to the platform on the third floor. The view there is good.

However, there will probably be a battle later. It will be very dangerous. "

Qin Shiyue was overjoyed when she heard that. She said, "Xu Jiao King knows me well. I want to see how this battle is going to be.

What's this little bit of danger?

Don't we people of the pugilistic world live a life of bloodshed? "

Xu Jiaotong said anxiously, "Lord Qin, this battle at sea isn't like the pugilistic world. It's better to be careful."

Qin Shiyue didn't think much of it. The Xu Jiao King also comforted her, "It's fine. Lord Qin's martial arts are powerful. This battle at sea is a long-range attack. Moreover, we are one against six. We can only run. How would we dare to be entangled?

As long as we are careful, there's nothing to be afraid of. "

The platform on the third floor of the cabin was very wide. The sea breeze whistled and drizzled, making it hard for people to stand steadily. However, they weren't ordinary people. They just needed to circulate their inner force to stand steadily.

It was true that the higher one stood, the further one could see.

When they looked into the distance and saw the situation in front of them, they couldn't help but gasp. The six ships surrounded them and were catching up from behind. The faster ships at the side were on par with the giant ship. Moreover, judging from the moving lights, they were obviously faster than the giant ship. Looking at the situation, the experienced Three Seas and Seven Waters knew that the ships belonged to the navy. Only the standard ships of the government could be faster than the ships of the South Sea Wyrm Palace.

The Xu Jiao King estimated the situation and ordered the sailors to go all out and charge forward as fast as they could. If they could break out of the encirclement, they might have a chance of survival. However, if they were surrounded, the situation would be difficult to predict.

At this moment, a few huge lightning bolts appeared in front of them. Then, they heard a few muffled thunders above their heads. Everyone was shocked, but the Xu Jiao King was delighted. He shouted, "The heavens haven't forsaken me."

Qin Shiyue was puzzled. He asked, "The weather is getting worse, and it's difficult for the ships to move. Why do you say that, King Jiao King?"

The Xu Jiao King pointed at the military ships that were surrounding them and smiled. "Lord Qin, you don't know, but I told you when we just set out to sea that the most frightening thing on the sea is the wind and waves. Only giant ships can maintain stability. The navy's ships are big, but they're much smaller than ours. The wind and waves are still small, so they won't affect the stability of our ships. There was a thunderstorm just now, and judging from the weather, there's probably going to be a thunderstorm soon. The bigger the storm, the greater the impact it'll have on the navy's ships, and we'll have a chance to escape."

Qin Shiyue instantly understood. He pointed at the night sky and said, "Then let the storm come more violently."

Just as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck right above him with a "kacha" sound, causing everyone to tremble in fear.

Of course, Zhang Xiaohua was more afraid. He quickly withdrew his Divine Sense and didn't dare to leave his body. If he attracted the Heavenly Thunder now, wouldn't he be killed?

The sailors of the South Sea Serpent Palace were really good. Except for those who were driving the giant ships, who were trying their best to speed up in the cabins below the deck, the others were holding bows and arrows and standing in a row on the deck. They were all facing the sea solemnly and didn't move at all, allowing the rain to wet their bodies.

Zhang Xiaohua stood at a high place and looked at this posture. His heart trembled. In his eyes, this sailor's martial arts were considered low, but with so many people standing together, that kind of threatening momentum was not something he could resist. If he were to fight against them, even if he could kill a few people, he would probably be killed by the remaining people. The best result would be that he could use his Qing Gong to escape. Then, thinking about the mountain bandits of Xicui Mountain, they were really far from this trained sailor.

At this moment, a thought flashed through Zhang Xiaohua's mind. If the sailors of the South Sea Serpent Palace were so powerful, then what about the navy on the opposite ship?

They had undergone formal military training. Wouldn't they be more powerful than the South Sea Serpent Palace?

Zhang Xiaohua sighed. No wonder the Xu Jiao King wanted to run away and didn't actively fight. Not only did he not have enough subordinates, but he also didn't have enough quality.

While Zhang Xiaohua was thinking, the bean-sized raindrops and the strong storm had arrived. The giant ship was shaking more violently than before, especially when Zhang Xiaohua and the others were standing on a high place. It was easier for them to stand steadily. Xu Jiaotong's martial arts were slightly weaker, so she was almost thrown off. Qin Shiyue hurriedly persuaded her to go down. Xu Jiaotong really didn't want to leave her lover at this juncture, but she knew that if she stayed here, Qin Shiyue would be more distracted. She could only give some advice and go back to the hall.

Qin Shiyue looked at Zhang Xiaohua. She wanted to say something, but when she saw that Zhang Xiaohua was standing steadily like a boulder, she sighed and looked forward again.

At this time, the wind and waves were strong. The giant ship couldn't help but sway left and right. The front and back were also undulating, and their speed had obviously slowed down. However, the navy's ships in the distance were even more unbearable. At first, one of them was almost at the same speed as the giant ship, but now, it was lagging behind by a large margin.

Just like that, the seven giant ships chased each other in the dark night. They were almost neck and neck.

However, the sky was full of unpredictable winds and clouds, and the ship was full of misfortune and fortune.

Just when everyone thought that they were about to escape, they heard a soft "kacha" sound. One of the masts behind them broke in the middle.

It smashed into Qin Shiyue, who was on the platform in front of them. Before Qin Shiyue could do anything, the Xu Jiao King leaped up and struck the masts with both of his palms. The heavy masts fell diagonally to the side.

As soon as the masts fell, the giant ship's speed slowed down.

The Xu Jiao King looked worried as he said, "Normally, a ship would lower its sails when it's sailing in strong winds and waves. That's the only way to reduce the impact of the winds and waves on the ship. The direction in which we broke through just now happened to be in the direction of the wind, so I raised all the sails and used the wind to escape. Unexpectedly, the wind was too strong, and our ship is too big. Even the mast was broken.

Qin Shiyue asked curiously, "Since our masts can break, won't the navy's be ordinary too?"

The Xu Jiao King said with a wry smile, "Their ships are small, and their sails are also small. Naturally, they can't withstand the wind, but their masts aren't necessarily thinner than ours. They might not break."

Qin Shiyue also sighed and stopped talking.

As expected, the navy's ships caught up as soon as the giant ship slowed down. Those ships also changed their strategy and no longer surrounded them from all sides. Instead, they charged straight at them from the side. Presumably, they knew that the giant ship couldn't run anymore and wanted to end the battle as soon as possible.

Looking at the approaching ships, Qin Shiyue smiled and said, "Xu Jiao King, looks like we'll have to fight a tough battle. How confident are we?"

The Xu Jiao King thought about it and said, "Lord Qin, the navy's standard ships have 35 to 655 people per ship. These 1 ships should have 155 people.

On our giant ship, I brought 615 people with me. I left almost 35 people on the other ship two days ago. At most, we only have 795 people. How can we be a match for them?

We don't even have a 95% chance. "

At this point, the Xu Jiao King pondered and said, "However, this naval battle doesn't necessarily rely on numbers. If we face any of the ships alone, we're 655% confident. However, their navy has always been well-trained, so I'm afraid they won't give us a chance."

Hearing this, Qin Shiyue's eyes lit up. She smiled and said, "Since you said so, I'm more confident."

The Xu Jiao King was puzzled. "Lord Qin, please enlighten me."

Qin Shiyue pointed at the 1 ships and said, "I think even if the navy is from Jingyue City, they might not be the real deal. Perhaps, they might be the original navy on the ships. Although we killed Murong Jian in Jingyue City, he's just a small commander. The reason why we're leaving is because we're afraid of his seventh uncle. Although Jingyue City's garrison is the highest-ranking officer, he might not be able to mobilize all the navy in Jingyue City. Moreover, based on my judgment, the navy that's chasing after us might be the garrison's intention, but it's more likely that it's the Righteous Alliance's intention."

The Xu Jiao King and the others nodded.

Qin Shiyue continued, "If that's the case, they definitely didn't receive General Lu's personal order. The navy on the ships might not be … No, they're definitely not the standard and definitely not the full complement."

The Xu Jiao King clapped his hands and said, "In other words, they won't be able to train as smoothly as before. During this interval, we can seize the opportunity to attack one of the ships, seize it, and escape?"

Qin Shiyue smiled and said, "Xu Jiao King, this isn't your style. Why do you always want to escape?"

The Xu Jiao King smiled bitterly. "Lord Qin, you're the special envoy of the Divine Sect. If anything happens to you in the South Sea, the Three Seas Jiao Palace won't be able to bear the responsibility."

The other two Jiao Kings nodded in unison.

Qin Shiyue said, "I appreciate Xu Jiao King's kindness, but if we only want to escape, we may not be able to do so. I think we should concentrate our forces first, attack the two ships, and fight them face to face. Our brothers are all Jianghu people, so their martial arts must be better than the soldiers. Although they outnumber us, we may not lose if we really fight them."

Seeing Qin Shiyue's decision, the Three Seas Jiao King and the Seven Water Gang Leader looked at each other and nodded. When enemies meet on a narrow path, the brave will win. This was an unbreakable truth. If they only wanted to escape, they might not be able to escape.

Therefore, the Xu Jiao King ordered to retract the sails, turn the ship around, and crash into the ships that were rushing towards them with all their might!
