Volume 1: Wind Rises in the Mountains and Marshes Chapter 183: Pirates
"The pirates are really here..."
A few more terrified shouts were heard, and Haisheng had already dived into the woodshed, and then ran out in the blink of an eye, with an axe in his hand.
The old man also stood up tremblingly, clenched a wooden stick in his hand, looked at Haisheng who was about to run out, and said anxiously: "Haisheng, come to grandpa quickly, grandpa is here!"
Lin Yi also stood up slowly, looked at the indignant and frightened expressions of the grandfather and grandson, stretched out his hand to stop them, and said: "With so many of my fellow disciples here, I think everything will be fine. You two wait, I'll go and see."
"Mr. Lin, those thieves are cruel, you can't go!" The old man showed reluctance and dissuaded him: "Mr. Lin, the island is barren, these thieves don't usually come here. Forgive me for saying something offensive, they are probably coming for you."
Lin Yi nodded and said: "The old man is right, it must be our ship that provoked this group of thieves. It's okay, I'll go and see."
After saying goodbye to the grandfather and grandson, Lin Yi walked back to where he came from. Sure enough, everyone in the Tianlong Sect ran to the dock. It seems that the pirates are not kind.
The people of Tianlong Sect did not board the ship, but stood on the dock and looked into the distance.
The sea surface was just past noon, and the vision was vast. I saw that two or three miles away, the ship of Canghai Gang had been surrounded by two strange large ships. The Canghai Gang, which was very brave on the sea, seemed to be unable to take care of both ends, and was in a disadvantageous position, and it was difficult to escape for a while.
From a distance, the sound of the crossbow of Canghai Gang could be heard. As the arrows like spears were shot out, a bloody rain broke out on the opposite ship.
However, the two pirate ships were getting closer and closer, and the crossbow of Canghai Gang was useless in an instant.
On the pirate ship, men with bare upper bodies emerged, all holding steel knives in their mouths, grabbed the reins, swung like a swing, and pounced on the ship of Canghai Gang.
The other side had many people and the Canghai Gang tried their best to stop the pirates from boarding the ship. When they fought hand-to-hand, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and screams arose.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the pirates jumped into the sea. When the people behind rushed onto the ship, they threw the ropes and hooks in their hands, put them on the side of the ship, and climbed up again with their hands and feet.
Facing pirates who were several times more powerful than themselves and extremely fierce, the Canghai Gang gradually weakened and the situation was critical.
The three ships were entangled in fighting, so close to the dock that everyone in the Tianlong Sect could see clearly. Facing the disaster of the Canghai Gang, no one was secretly happy, but they all held their weapons tightly. Although they were opponents, they belonged to the same business world. Facing the foreign enemy, everyone could not help but feel angry about the common hatred of the enemy.
On the Canghai Gang ship, someone hurriedly raised the sail and slowly approached the island. For several days, they had not dared to get too close to the Tianlong Sect. At such a critical moment, they had no other way. Yesterday's life-and-death rivals, today, may be the last chance to survive.
Amid the shouting and killing, the Canghai Gang's ship moved forward less than a mile with difficulty, trying to approach the dock. But misfortunes never come singly. The ship shook violently, the bow suddenly lifted up, and then slowly sank.
In a panic, the ship of the Canghai Gang hit a reef!
The people of the Canghai Gang all felt the vibration under their feet. People who have been sailing for many years are more sensitive to the feeling of the ship hitting the reef than ordinary people, and their reaction is also the strongest. Everyone was panicked. The pirates who were chasing behind became more and more brave in the wanton laughter, making it difficult to stop.
"Abandon the ship--!"
I don't know who shouted, and on the ship of the Canghai Gang, one after another, "plop, plop" jumped into the sea one after another, stirring up waves, and each of them swam to the island.
The pirates' big ship did not dare to move forward, blocking the waterway of the dock, lowering a few sampans, and chasing after the people who fell into the water.
The intention of these pirates was obvious, to catch all these foreign ships in one fell swoop.
The people of Tianlong Sect surrounded Elder Jiang and quietly watched the robbery and killing that was just around the corner. Those who were eager to survive were risking their lives to swim to the shore, while the pirates behind them were chasing them relentlessly.
The way out of the Tianlong Sect's ship was blocked, and everyone could see clearly that when the Canghai Gang was destroyed, the Tianlong Sect could not stay out of it.
Facing the increasingly close shouts and killings, Elder Jiang held his silver beard and said in a deep voice: "Mengshan, the opportunity to respond is also the time to test the disciples, so you must let go! The ship is handed over to me!"
With such an elder in charge, Mengshan was full of confidence, and the remaining disciples were also full of fighting spirit.
Under Mengshan's instructions, the disciples of Tiger Shark Hall boarded the ship to be on guard, and the inner disciples guarded the dock with weapons.
The islanders on the outlying island were not willing to lag behind. Some young and strong men picked up knives, axes and harpoons and ran over. Mengshan hurriedly asked people to dissuade them. These people mixed in and added to the casualties, which was useless!
"Boy, where have you been? I just wanted Yuan Qing to find you!" Zhen Yuanzi took the long sword handed over by Yuan Feng and greeted Lin Yi who was approaching.
"I'm just walking around, what are you doing?" Lin Yi smiled and nodded to Yuan Qing and his fellow apprentices. Seeing Zhen Yuanzi's solemn expression, he couldn't help but ask.
Zhen Yuanzi pointed forward with his sword in his hand and said, "Did you see it? The Canghai Gang is in big trouble this time. There are not many people who can escape to the shore. And there are probably two or three hundred pirates on the other side's ship, all of whom are cruel and brave. We are not familiar with water battles, so, except for the people guarding the ship, there are only more than thirty of you and me guarding the dock. Facing hundreds of bandits, we can't afford to be careless!"
Hongan took more than ten men with him and boarded the ship with Elder Jiang. With Elder Jiang there, the ship could be kept safe. It was not easy for the remaining disciples to repel the pirates coming in small boats.
Glancing at the fierce battle on the sea, Lin Yi agreed with Zhen Yuanzi's words. Suddenly, his expression changed, and a colorful figure came into his sight not far away.
Some people from the Canghai Gang had already reached the shallows, among whom was a wet woman wearing colorful clothes, with a graceful figure and a face like peaches and plums. Her curvy figure made the men around her distracted, but escaping was important, so no one lost their composure.
Lin Yi was slightly surprised, how could it be her?
This woman was Li Caiyi from the Wuyi School, and Lin Yi also killed two of her followers. I didn't expect to see this woman here.
Perhaps people in southern Xinjiang are good at swimming, so the woman followed a group of men to the shore without panic.
A shirtless pirate, covered with dark toad meat, must have coveted Li Caiyi's beauty and kept chasing her. His eyes were shining, holding an iron fork, and he rushed over with a laugh like a devil in the water.
Seeing the beauty in front of him, the pirate stretched out his strong arm and grabbed her. Unexpectedly, Li Caiyi turned around and smiled, as if she was coquettishly, and raised her wrist as white as a lotus root, flicked her orchid finger, and a wisp of light pink smoke covered the other's face.
The beauty looked back, which made the pirate so excited that he had no time to care about the abnormality of the other's hand.
Li Caiyi's beautiful eyes were colorful, and in the laughter, he twisted his waist, put his strength on his feet, and lifted his body to jump to the shore. But the pirate's laughter stopped abruptly, and he ran two steps in the sea and suddenly stopped. He grabbed his neck with both hands, his face was purple, his eyes were bulging, black blood was flowing out of his mouth and nose, he looked at the colorful figure in the distance with hatred, and then fell into the water.
Bian Zhenduo had a cloth wrapped around his right shoulder, his body was covered with blood, and he was supported by someone and walked onto the beach. He didn't have time to guard against the people of the Tianlong Sect, but saw a flash of fragrance in front of him, and a hot figure had arrived in front of him. The few men who supported him, for some reason, all held their breath and looked at this charming beauty with fear.
"I didn't expect these pirates to be so fierce! Boss Bian, your wound has collapsed again. This is the medicine for the wound, which is quite effective!"
Li Caiyi arrived first, smiled at Bian Zhenduo, and threw a small bottle.
Bian Zhenduo reached out to take the medicine bottle and said, "Thank you, Miss Li, I can still bear it!" He put the medicine bottle in his pocket, shook his head and laughed. It's better not to touch this woman's medicine.
Li Caiyi laughed and didn't care about Bian Zhenduo's caution. Instead, she looked back at the shore. The people of Tianlong Sect were standing in a row, blocking her way with a fierce look.
Bian Zhenduo stepped onto the shore with a complicated look, looked around, and couldn't help but sigh. The two ships and more than a hundred disciples who came here were pressing the Tianlong Sect majestically. But now, there are only a dozen people around him. For a moment, endless sadness surged in his heart. He staggered and shook off the disciples who were supporting him, clasped his fists towards Meng Shan not far away, and said bitterly: "I am trapped here. If you want to kill or rob, come on! It's better than dying in the hands of pirates!"
Bian Zhenduo's words were tragic, and his expression was tired and helpless. His eyes swept over the people on the shore. When he saw Zhenyuanzi, his face was angry, but the person he saw next made him look a little stunned.
Li Caiyi was also looking at the people of the Tianlong Sect. When she saw the young man with a calm expression behind the other side of the crowd, she was also quite surprised. However, these two people were both experienced in the martial arts world. Their eyes only paused for a moment and then moved away, which did not attract the attention of others.
"Humph! Repel the strong enemy first, then talk about other things!"
Meng Shan waved his hand, and the disciples of the Tianlong Sect tightly guarded the dock and the beaches on both sides, ready for battle.
The two large pirate ships have blocked the sea outlet of the island. The pirates' sampans also rushed to the beach with the waves. There were even more fierce men who jumped into the sea and swam to the shore one after another. As for the sea ship of the Tianlong Sect, this group of pirates did not take it seriously. As long as they killed people, the property on the ship would not run away.
In just a moment, more than a dozen people rushed to the beach, and the large group of pirates behind them also surged up one after another.
"Kill——"
The Tianlong Sect disciples shouted, waved their swords, and rushed forward.
