Chapter 608: Section 395: Mian licang
The lookout peered over the sea and saw the shadows of giant turtles flickering in and out of visibility.
Bang bang bang…
They kept ramming the bottom of the Divine Wind, causing the Golden Level magic-powered ship to rock incessantly.
“It’s a group of ramming turtles!”
“At least three of them are at the Golden Level.”
“How is that possible? We’ve already scouted the area; where did this group of turtles come from?”
“If this continues, the hull of the Divine Wind will be smashed through!”
Feng Lian’s silhouette shot out like a swift arrow.
He floated mid-air, waved his scythe, and sent out Wind Blades to slash at the group of ramming turtles in the sea.
But the very next moment, a dense flurry of spatial fluctuations formed around each turtle.
The ramming turtles suddenly disappeared far away, perfectly evading all the Wind Blades’ attacks.
At the same time, similar spatial fluctuations reappeared inside the cabin of the Divine Wind.
This time it was bundles of Alchemy Bombs that materialized out of thin air.
Boom boom boom…
The Alchemy Bombs exploded one after another, injuring countless pirates, destroying a great deal of the ship’s internal facilities, and causing extreme destruction.
“Damn it!” Feng Lian had no choice but to dive back into the Divine Wind to take control of the situation.
Although his scythe was sharp and his personal combat strength was incredibly powerful, he was powerless in this situation, with no opportunity to apply his strength.
Feng Lian was almost grinding his teeth to fragments.
He couldn’t find his opponent!
“This method of attack… Mian licang! You are the noble Clan Leader of the Lijian family. If you have the courage, show yourself and fight me one-on-one! Hiding elsewhere, where is your noble honor?!”
The next moment, Mian licang’s voice pierced through space to respond to Feng Lian.
“Divine Wind Pirate Group squad leader, you took advantage of the weak period when my clan was testing the new naval warship to strike, gaining such a huge advantage. Did you think you and your people could leave safely?”
“Now I will make you and your subordinates pay a heavy price!”
Mian licang had no noble honor; on the contrary, he was shameless. Clearly, it was the Navy that ambushed them first, yet he spoke as if he was the victim.
After Mian licang finished speaking, waves of spatial fluctuations of various sizes appeared once again.
But this time, there were more spatial fluctuations, and the coverage was not limited to the Divine Wind, but nearly all the pirate ships.
One after another, Magic Beasts appeared out of nowhere, launching frenzied attacks on people and objects around them.
There were Ice Wolves, Snow Monsters, White Tigers, and even Dragon Beasts with White Dragon Bloodlines.
The Divine Wind Pirate Group plunged into utter chaos.
Many pirates were slaughtered mercilessly.
They were forced to fight independently.
Both the Ice Eagle and the Human Race chief encountered trouble.
“Run fast!”
The two of them were only at the Silver Level, attacked by three Silver Level snow spiders.
Among the leaders of the Saber Gang, the Human Race leader had always been the weakest in combat strength.
And the Ice Eagle was already old, specializing in breeding giant slaves. His individual combat strength was never outstanding.
Most crucially, the Magic Beasts summoned by Mian licang fought fearlessly to the death.
They even killed each other!
For the Ice Eagle and the Human Race chief, the most rational response was to fight while retreating.
Taking them on directly was suicidal!
This was the Divine Wind Pirate Group’s ship. Both the Ice Eagle and the Human Race chief believed that Feng Lian would ultimately resolve all this trouble.
“Who will help me?” The Ice Eagle ran while shouting for help at the top of his lungs.
But the people he encountered, whether they were members of the Saber Gang or the Divine Wind Pirate Group, were too preoccupied with their own predicaments.
During the treacherous escape, Ice Eagle personally witnessed a large number of corpses, with blood staining the cabins and passageways.
Every minute, every second, turned into an agony.
Eventually, with the presence of others, the two managed to divert the attention of the pursuers behind them and temporarily escaped the crisis.
But they paid a heavy price.
A sharp ice thorn was embedded in Ice Eagle’s right shoulder. The Frost Element was fiercely eroding his body.
The Human Race leader covered the rear, protecting Ice Eagle. At this moment, he was soaked in blood, a gaping wound on his abdomen bleeding incessantly, the situation not looking optimistic.
As Ice Eagle passed by Lan Zao’s cabin, he found an Ice Wolf about to breach the door, endangering Lan Zao’s life.
“Save him!” Ice Eagle shouted urgently at the critical moment.
The Ice Wolf was only of Bronze Level. It was quickly slain by the two. Had it been a Silver Level, or even a Black Iron Level, Ice Eagle would likely have made a different choice.
“Quick, block the door with something!” After killing the wolf, Ice Eagle rushed into the cabin and yelled.
The Human Race leader hastily moved tables and chairs to block the broken door, simultaneously pressing his body against it.
Outside the door, the sounds of pirates and Magic Beasts fighting continued unabated, with the death cries of the dying, loud cries for help…
Ice Eagle and the Human Race leader tensely stood guard for a while, gradually relaxing.
During this period, although Magic Beasts with heavy steps approached their cabin, they all passed by the door, drawn instead to the resisting pirates.
“Phew, we’re temporarily safe!” The Human Race leader exhaled a breath of foul air and collapsed onto the floor, exhausted.
“You’ve lost too much blood; you need to be bandaged immediately!” Ice Eagle looked around, quickly walked to Lan Zao’s bed, bent down, and tore a strip from his bedsheet, tossing it to the Human Race leader.
“Brat, I saved your life this time. We’re even now,” Ice Eagle said as he looked at the sleeping Lan Zao.
“The scent of blood here is too strong; it will attract Magic Beasts. We’d better move to a safer place,” Ice Eagle said, turning his head to the Human Race leader.
The Human Race leader had already closed his eyes.
Ice Eagle’s expression changed drastically, cursing aloud, “Damn it!”
He rushed over to check on the Human Race leader’s condition.
The Human Race leader was not dead, still breathing, but had passed out due to the severity of his wounds.
“Mian licang is hiding in Subspace, as long as he doesn’t show himself in the Main World, I cannot threaten him,” Feng Lian realized, piecing together his intelligence.
Feng Lian was disheartened.
He had provoked with all his might, but Mian licang just wouldn’t show himself.
“Start the ship, sail at full speed, get away from here,” Feng Lian suddenly ordered.
The effect was immediate.
As they moved away from their original location, the spatial fluctuations decreased dramatically, and the number of Magic Beasts or Alchemy Bombs transported by Mian licang also diminished greatly.
Once the Divine Wind Pirate Group had put some distance between themselves, no more Magic Beasts or Alchemy Bombs appeared.
Mian licang, situated in a compressed space, was transporting objects and creatures through spatial positioning. Once the Divine Wind pirate ship was no longer at the original location, quickly determining their new location became a hassle.
For Mian licang, after all, there was a space in between. It required a series of repeated calculations to possibly obtain a new precise coordinate for accurate transport.
The Divine Wind Pirate Group fled in a miserable state.
Feng Lian’s face was as cold as frost.
His combat power was far superior to that of the current Clan Leader of the Lijian family, Mian licang. However, the latter just wouldn’t engage in direct combat but continued to carry out inter-dimensional drops incessantly.
Crazed Magic Beasts that feared death not made for perfect cannon fodder.
The Divine Wind Pirate Group was wrecked by the solo Mian licang, incurring heavy losses,
Feng Lian etched this humiliation deep into his heart.
“The Lijian family… Mian licang!” Feng Lian’s eyes blazed with furious rage.
“The opponent was still lying in ambush in advance; how did he know the exact location of my group?”
“There must still be a traitor on board!”
“Find them!”
