Chapter 924: Fighting

"Hey, the word 'Island Master' sounds good; from now on, we'll call him Island Master Min." The pirates were chattering and mocking. Qiu Hu and the others stood still. Wang Fubao, the youngest, couldn't take it and wanted to talk back, but Qiu Hu glared at him, and Wang Fubao had to swallow it back gloomily.

Save it for later, and settle it all at once.

When the pirates saw this, they became even more arrogant, swearing and cursing. One of them even made faces at Wang Fubao and whistled frivolously.

Min Tianxi then waved his hand: "Alright, alright, give the Island Master some face. I also want to hear what Island Master He has to say about what happens if we leave, and what happens if we stay?"

"Either you surrender; I happen to be short of hands here, and there is plenty of work for you to do," He Lingchuan said seriously. "Or you leave; I will give you a deadline, and you must withdraw from the Yangshan Archipelago and surrounding waters within seven days."

The pirates immediately clamored.

Min Tianxi didn't stop them this time, his palms clenched into sand-bowl-sized fists, shaking them at He Lingchuan: "Little Brother He, you should also listen to my advice: the Yangshan Archipelago is a place where fists are hard. The Bailie people have no face here, and that piece of paper in your hand, heh, in my opinion, is a piece of waste paper!"

He leaned forward slightly: "You can play however you want in other parts of the Yangshan Archipelago; but the territory of the Second-Way is still the territory of the Second-Way. Whoever dares to move even a fraction, we will take his life!"

After saying that, he grabbed the wine jar on the table, crushed it, and threw it on the sandy ground.

The fragrant wine flowed all over the ground, red like blood.

Min Tianxi was spitting as he spoke, and He Lingchuan raised his hand to block his eyes, fearing being sprayed.

His tone was steady: "What if the Yin-Snakes continue to ambush you?"

"That's our business, it has nothing to do with you," Min Tianxi smiled. "You just jump around on your own one-third of an acre, don't come here to seek your own death."

He Lingchuan clapped his hands on his knees and stood up, and the bandits behind him became very vigilant.

But he just bent down to pick up the wine jar, looked at it in his hand, and muttered: "What a waste, this jar is quite expensive."

He kneaded it a few times, and the crumpled jar was actually twisted into an irregular silver round cake.

Silver is soft, but it's impossible to turn it into a flour ball in the hands of an ordinary person. Min Tianxi's face sank.

He Lingchuan looked at the pirate leader again: "So, if the fist is harder than yours, you'll listen, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Min Tianxi knew that he was going to make a move, so he sprang up from the chair and rushed towards He Lingchuan, roaring at the same time: "Do it!"

The pirates around couldn't hold back anymore and raised their shining weapons to slash at Qiu Hu and the others.

"Don't hold back!" Qiu Hu's tiger mouth was like a pair of pliers, grabbing the wrist of the nearest pirate and twisting it hard. The other person couldn't even stand straight, and he couldn't hold the knife anymore.

Before the long knife fell, Qiu Hu punched him in the throat. His index finger joint protruded forward, called "Phoenix Eye," and hit the top of the bandit's Adam's apple.

With a "clack," the Adam's apple was shattered. Although it was cartilage, under Qiu Hu's force, it actually pierced the throat tube inward.

This person fell to the ground, shaking his legs, covering his neck with wide-open eyes, and a "clack-clack" sound came from his throat.

With Qiu Hu's strength, he could easily kill with one blow, but he didn't.

This fellow mocked them just now, so let him suffer a bit more.

Seeing another bandit sneaking up on Lu Qiuwei from behind, he waved his hand, and the copper staff was already in his hand, directly slapping the person on the root of the neck.

That clever force directly slapped the person a zhang away, and he was still buzzing in his ears when he staggered to a stop.

He subconsciously wanted to press his ears, but his fingers were cold, and two fingers flew off.

Just as he started to scream, his upper lip was shaved off. He realized that Wang Fubao had approached with a cold face, and there was still blood dripping from his knife.

It was this fellow who whistled at him just now, and Wang Fubao intended to gouge out his tongue!

On this side, Min Tianxi rushed straight at He Lingchuan, and the latter smashed the wine jar at his face.

Playing like a child? The flying wine jar almost blocked his vision. Min Tianxi dodged sideways, and a hand axe slashed straight at his abdomen.

He Lingchuan couldn't dodge, and the black-flashing axe drew a precise horizontal line on his abdomen.

Hit! Min Tianxi was happy at first. This hand axe of his had two major characteristics: once it wounded an enemy, even if only a drop of blood was seen, it would magnify the pain ten times! That was probably the difference between being hit by a blood-collecting needle and being stung by a hornet.

Another characteristic was sluggishness. The wounded enemy would slow down, and would have no power to parry in front of Min Tianxi.

But he was shocked afterwards, because the hand axe didn't have the solid feeling of cutting into flesh! A trick? Oh no!

He also heard his subordinates exclaim on the side: "Leader, be ca..."

He turned around quickly, but it was too late, and his leg bend was kicked hard.

The force of this kick didn't look like a human's at all. Min Tianxi thought he had been stepped on by an elephant, and his leg bones groaned with a "clack."

Two red lights flashed on his body, followed by two soft "pop" sounds—

Two protective magic artifacts exploded one after another! If it weren't for them unloading most of the damage, his leg would have broken on the spot.

Min Tianxi was experienced after all, and while kneeling down, he didn't forget to slash with his hand axe, aiming straight at the enemy behind him.

But the opponent was faster, and a shining long knife swept past from the side. Min Tianxi only felt a chill on his neck, and the blade was already against his jaw.

That axe was easily blocked by the opponent's hand shield.

The blade was cold, making his skin break out in goosebumps.

Before the blade touched his body, a cut was pierced on his neck. Blood flowed down, and he didn't even dare to swallow his saliva.

Immediately after, a sharp pain came from the wound.

This pain was like a wild fire, burning all the way to his internal organs. Min Tianxi gritted his teeth and persisted for no more than ten breaths before he was in so much pain that he bent over—his lungs and nasal cavity felt like they were on fire, and even his breathing was burning! He Lingchuan stepped on his back, pressing him until his upper body almost hit the ground, and then turned the blade, forcing his head to lift: "Open your eyes wide and look carefully!"

There was a chaotic battle all around, but anyone with eyes could see that He Lingchuan's subordinates had the upper hand, especially the tall man with the copper staff who loved to crack people's heads, having beaten at least four bandits into colorful messes.

There was a bandit who was a spellcaster, who seized the opportunity to cast a spell and summon a water snake spell.

Surrounded by the sea on all sides, he waved his hand, and several transparent giant water snakes rushed out of the sea, rushing straight at the Rongshan disciples.

Qiu Hu saw this, leaned on his copper staff, took a deep breath, his chest and abdomen retracted, and then suddenly exhaled and shouted: "Tai—"

This violent roar was like a thunderclap, exploding everyone present, causing their blood to float and their heads to spin. Those with poor cultivation and stability directly covered their ears and bent over to vomit.

The few water snakes that took the brunt were the most unlucky. They were about to rush to the front of the Rongshan people, but were directly shattered by the violent sound waves, and with a "splash," they turned back into clear water and fell onto the white sandy ground.

Behind Qiu Hu, a black shadow flashed by.
