Chapter 34

"That bitch Natasha and that coward are afraid of you, so they abandoned me, but I'm not!"

As soon as the words fell, the Wind Elemental Envoy's cloak behind him billowed, whipping up a gale that sent a stone cannonball whistling toward them.

They were still far apart, and the cannonball exploded into a water spout far from the other ship, posing no threat at all.

Yet, the other side was amused to laughter by Huang Qi's arrogant posture.

A broken ship, six or seven people, one lord, and one heroic soul.

Who are you, kid! So arrogant! Does your family know!?

"Move the cannon to the bow, get closer, and blast them for me!"

The idea of regrouping was cast aside, and this warship headed straight for Huang Qi.

After the cannon was moved to the bow, although the number of shots per volley was limited, the defensive surface was also greatly reduced.

Meanwhile, Huang Qi was still cursing and shouting, the Wind Elemental Envoy whipped up a strong wind, continuously firing stone shells, but unfortunately, they all missed.

And because of this person's premature action, the opponent's three warships had unknowingly lined up in a row.

Seeing this scene, Huang Qi stepped onto the ship's edge and sneered.

"You're at death's door!"

"Chen Ping, Natasha, attack!"

Huang Qi shouted.

The oncoming warship let out a roar, and a cannonball struck the edge of the ship, sending water splashing into the sky.

Seawater fell like rain onto the ship, soaking Huang Qi through.

But the partners he expected did not appear.

On the pursuing silver ship, the lord looked left and right, then felt relieved.

"Still trying to bluff me? You're dead, you know that? Your mouth is so foul."

The sailors on the ship reloaded the cannon, and many others picked up spears, preparing to stab once they got close.

However, at this moment, his partners behind him encountered an ambush.

Chen Ping and Natasha's ship appeared silently behind the flank of those two ships.

As soon as they appeared, they went full speed and closed in directly!

This sudden change scared the two of them out of their wits.

At the same time, Huang Qi was also startled.

He had assumed Chen Ping and Natasha would sink the ship in front of them first; who knew they had gone to the rear instead.

Then who was going to block the ship in front of him?

"Chen Ping, you bastard!"

Huang Qi jumped back into the ship and immediately had his heroic soul stir up a wind to turn the ship around.

On the other side, archers in leather armor appeared on Natasha's elven ship, along with slender and exquisite rapid-fire cannons.

Because of the elven tree on her ship, the firepower was basically deployed on the tree, not limited by the ship's orientation.

With an order, they opened fire with full force.

The warship targeted by Natasha was instantly devastated, nearly being blown in two.

On the other side, Chen Ping's ship rushed out like a ghost, its speed incredibly fast.

Before the enemy could react, it grazed their hull and rammed into them.

The massive impact knocked everyone on the enemy ship to the ground, and then Milan, holding a long spear, led the sailors to board the ship.

The skill Oath Guardian was released, and all the sailors were covered in a hazy shield.

Under Milan's leadership, they attacked without defending, cutting through them like vegetables.

Even though their levels were similar, the enemy soldiers were no match for the sailors.

And the enemy's heroic soul was even worse; Milan targeted him first, and after three spear thrusts, he was turned into stardust and returned to the Soul Realm.

As for that lord, Chen Ping made a slashing motion across his own throat from afar.

Milan immediately sent him on his way.

Since they served different masters, Chen Ping couldn't be bothered to recruit them.

It was useless.

The battle erupted and ended very quickly, not even a minute in total.

This battle directly proved the power of Chen Ping's Heaven Rewards Diligence talent; all in all, he had only been training this batch of sailors for a few days.

Yet they directly crushed the elites brought by these people.

Setting the ship on fire, Chen Ping had no time to scavenge for supplies.

Ahead, Huang Qi's ship was being chased by the enemy, its stern nearly destroyed.

The little guy was as arrogant as he was pathetic now.

Chen Ping didn't even know how he had survived this long; he was simply a freak.

He ordered a full-speed pursuit while adjusting the left and right ballistae to aim at the enemy's mast.

After continuous firing, they finally shattered the opponent's mast, slowing their speed down...

On this sea, the speed of Chen Ping's ship was number one.

After catching up, there was another round of boarding, and the battle ended smoothly.

At this time, Natasha had also finished off her opponent and looked at Chen Ping's ship, her face full of awe.

Only Huang Qi looked at Chen Ping pitifully, but he didn't dare to provoke him.

He was still counting on Chen Ping's sailors to help him repair his ship...

"Repair my ass, your ship is worthless now. Switch to the ship behind. Are there any sailors left alive? Can you capture them?"

"..."

42: Lu Fei's Counterattack

After switching to the silver ship, Huang Qi became arrogant again immediately.

Chen Ping had the sailors help him temporarily repair the destroyed mast to ensure it wouldn't break again in the short term.

As for the few remaining sailors, Huang Qi had no way to capture them.

They were all specially summoned populations with absolute loyalty, so he just chopped them up and threw them into the sea.

Now, the number of survivors on the fourth layer had become ten in the blink of an eye.

It just happened to meet the quantity requirement for the final test.

Natasha and Huang Qi looked at Chen Ping, wanting to confirm whether to continue.

Chen Ping smiled faintly and pointed to the wreckage behind him.

"There is no turning back once the bow is drawn."

"Hmph, well said. Natasha, you are just being soft-hearted. Chen Ping, I support you."

"Get lost."

After a brief discussion, the three continued with Huang Qi acting as bait, heading in another direction.

At the same time, the lords on Lu Fei's side all received warning signals through their badges.

Although the previous battle was fast, someone had still sounded the alarm.

Lu Fei smashed the red wine glass in his hand onto the ground.

"They actually dare to counterattack!"

He looked at the family crest on the table; three of them had completely lost feedback, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Everyone, gather at this coordinate immediately!"

Lu Fei gave the order and had everyone on the ship start to be on guard.

But his ship did not head toward that coordinate; instead, it circled around to the back.

The other heroic soul accompanying him to sea finally appeared, and after lifting the cloak, it was revealed to be a mage.

"You know the coordinates too. I will stay a thousand meters away."

"Use your strongest spell, start gathering power now, and attack on my command."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Lu Fei threw an exquisite silver staff to the mage.

This was one of his royal treasures, possessing the ability to amplify magic.

The mage acknowledged and went directly to the watchtower.
