Chapter 304: Old Acquaintance

On this vast ocean, without a ship, even a Professional Knight with a physique far superior to an ordinary person cannot survive for long.

Especially now that it is sunset; as night falls, the sea temperature will drop lower and lower, and there are basically very few people who can safely survive the night if they fall into the water.

Not to mention, there are other dangers.

Luoning is not particularly worried; if it really comes to it, he can just have Kaierluosi, who is flying high in the sky, come down.

But if he were to do that, the existence of the dragon would be exposed.

He cannot just kill Lisi and the others for the sake of secrecy, can he?

Therefore, the best method is still to obtain a good ship.

Taking advantage of the moment the Sighing Wall blocked the arrows, Captain Maifu came to the bow and shouted at the other side, mentioning things like the Wushan Marquis Territory and the Dennis Family, reporting his identity while seeking the possibility of negotiation.

At the same time, the first mate was actively manning the helm, adjusting the direction.

Fortunately, the second Ice Cone just now did not hit the hull, and the seawater has not yet submerged the waterline; as long as there are no big waves, Dennis No. 3 can still struggle for a while.

But clearly, Maifu's shouting was in vain; the enemy's third Ice Cone had already bombarded them, accompanied by a loud, mocking voice from the enemy ship:

"Little brats of the Dennis Family, go bury yourselves in this ocean along with your ship!"

Countless bursts of laughter came from all directions.

"Lisi, negotiation is futile; if you want to survive, prepare to seize a ship," Luoning suggested.

Compared to the panicked crowd, Lisi was still relatively calm.

"Seize which ship?"

He looked at the one on the right; it was mounted with a Magic Cannon and should be the main vessel, so the difficulty of seizing it was a bit high.

"Then seize the ship on the left!" Lisi made up his mind.

Just at this moment, the Sighing Wall disappeared.

On the ship to the left, a tall figure relied on a sudden burst of Battle Qi to jump forty or fifty meters away, landing heavily on the stern of Dennis No. 3.

"Welcome your deaths!"

The long sword pierced directly through the heart of the first mate who was steering; blood splattered onto this Knight, and he couldn't help but stick out his tongue to lick it, looking extremely satisfied.

Sword light flashed, instantly taking the lives of two sailors nearby; a Knight of the Dennis Family rushed up, but was kicked away, slamming into the mast and vomiting blood to death on the spot.

"Pirates have boarded!"

"Pirates have boarded!"

Sounds of panic rose from the back; Luoning turned his head abruptly to look behind, just in time to see that tall Knight killing his way from the stern to the front. Wherever he passed, let alone sailors, several Knights who surrounded him could not even make him stop his pace.

"It's him!"

Luoning's gaze sharpened as he recognized the other's identity—it was the Golden Knight who had assassinated Blanche at the Wushancheng Doushouchang.

Previously, all evidence pointed to the Skull Society and the Black Gold Brotherhood; why would this assassin suddenly appear here?

"You are no match for him."

Luoning held down Lisi, who wanted to rush up, "Keep an eye on that ship on the right!"

Looking at the entirety of Dennis No. 3, there was no one other than him who could contend with this assassin who called himself "Mondo".

Luoning first added a Rapid Magic to himself, then grabbed the Yanliu Sword and rushed up.

Seeing Luoning take the initiative to pounce, Mondo couldn't help but show a smile on his face, and he slashed over with his broad Knight sword.

He had already learned of Luoning's strength from outside rumors, but a Silver Knight was not worth looking at in his eyes.

With a loud clang, the two Knight swords collided; the Battle Qi clashed and crushed each other, forming a strong wind that blew the nearby sailors and the enemies who were boarding the ship into a stagger.

"I remember you, Mondo of the Colosseum!"

Luoning's rapid fist wind, carrying flames, blasted toward the other's chest.

Mondo was quick-witted and immediately threw a punch.

Boom!

The two fists collided, emitting a dull thud, and the huge impact force caused them to distance themselves.

But immediately, they rushed up and fought together again.

The battle of a Golden Knight had a large range of impact; although Dennis No. 3 was a large ship, the space was already insufficient. Moreover, the violent shockwaves directly smashed through the deck and shattered the gunwale.

The magnificent Dennis No. 3 turned into a broken ship in the blink of an eye.

"How is Luoning so strong?"

Lisi couldn't believe it; wasn't the other party a Silver Knight?

How could he use the Level 6 Wind Attribute Battle Technique "Wind Pressure Wave"?

"Lord Lisi, the attack is coming again!"

Maifu shouted in panic; the muzzle of the Magic Cannon on the opposite side lit up with light again.

Sensing the fluctuation of water elements, Lisi hurriedly regained his focus: "Everyone, defend!"

Accompanied by this roar, all the Intermediate and above Knights crowded at the bow used their Battle Techniques to cancel out the Ice Cone in the air.

Perhaps seeing that "clashing waves" against each other was ineffective, the people on the enemy ship stopped using the Magic Cannon and instead had the captain control the ship's speed and direction to approach Dennis No. 3, which could no longer change course.

Clearly, they also wanted to board the ship.

"I didn't expect you to actually be Golden Grade!"

Mondo, who had exchanged hundreds of moves with Luoning, felt the pressure. He had originally thought that with him, a Golden Knight, present, this operation would be one hundred percent successful, but he hadn't expected to miscalculate the opponent's strength.

The last time the assassination of Blanche at the Wushan Colosseum failed, it was because of Luoning, but at that time, the latter relied on a Six-level Spell Scroll;

This time, his goal was to assassinate Luoning, yet he discovered that the other's strength was already capable of dueling him!

Luoning pressed forward, the two swords clashed, and the immense power pushed the opponent back.

"Who exactly is behind you?"

Mondo gritted his teeth, the veins on his arms exposed; the strength of this young man before him was actually greater than his own.

To create an opening, he said word by word: "It is your grandfather... Lulansi!"

Hm?

Distracted by the words, Luoning appeared startled for a split second, but his opponent seized the opportunity to pull away, breaking free from the disadvantage of the grapple, while his surging Battle Qi condensed into a massive ocean wave atop his longsword.

"Tsunami Surge!"

Mondo swung his longsword, and the Battle Technique surged forward like a raging tsunami, sweeping across the deck with an unstoppable force.

"Damn, you tricked me!"

Luoning cursed in anger; as the opponent unleashed his Battle Technique, he also made his move.

The massive Battle Qi within his body was drawn out, and with the enhancement of the Yanliu Sword, it formed a giant red sword shadow several meters long, carrying heaven-piercing flames and radiating a heat wave that made one tremble with fear.

The power of Ruidar's signature Battle Technique, Explosive Flame Slash, was already stronger than ordinary Battle Techniques, and it was even more powerful when unleashed by a Golden Knight, especially with the augmentation of the Yanliu Sword.

Boom!

The two men's signature Battle Techniques met above the damaged Dennis No. 3, emitting a deafening roar; the tall mast could no longer withstand the impact force and was directly knocked over, crashing into the sea.

The power of the Explosive Flame Slash was more concentrated, directly tearing the opponent's Tsunami Surge apart.

"How is he so strong?"

Mondo widened his eyes, watching the aftermath of the impact rushing toward him; he wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.

Bang!

The immense force slammed into his chest, and Mondo felt his heartbeat stop for that second, then he felt himself wrapped in a ball of flames and thrown into the sky, before tracing an arc and falling into the sea.

The shockwave of this strike was as surging as a wild gale and giant waves, tearing at the hull and causing Dennis No. 3 to sway violently.

The enemy Knights who had just jumped onto the ship and had not yet stood steady were all torn away by the immense force and thrown into the seawater.

The mist generated by the collision of water and fire shrouded everything within a hundred-meter radius.

Cries of pain, calls for help, and roars rang out in a chorus, creating utter chaos.

Luoning cast Clear Wind Spell, blowing away all the water mist before him; the stern of Dennis No. 3 had been torn into a wretched state, with only the main giant timber still supporting it from falling apart.

Luoning jumped to the stern and observed the sea surface.

At this moment, over a dozen figures were floating on the sea, most of whom were enemies.

Under the impact just now, some were knocked unconscious, some had their bodies pierced by sharp wooden fragments, and some survivors were splashing about, trying to get back on the ship.

Mondo was floating on the sea surface at this time, with a patch of scarlet beneath him; it was unknown whether he was dead or unconscious.

Luoning could not care about that much; he quickly cast Wind Blade and slashed it right at the opponent's throat, causing blood to spray four or five meters high instantly.

After finishing all this, he raised his head to look at the enemy ship a dozen meters away, where the sailors were trembling in fear.

"Quick, turn the rudder! Turn the rudder!"

The captain roared; in his eyes, Luoning was like a god of death. Although they were on two different ships, he did not feel safe at all.

After all, if Mondo could jump a distance of forty or fifty meters, then this dozen meters was absolutely no problem for Luoning, who could kill Mondo.

"Woo—"

Just at this moment, a low-pitched Horn sounded over the sea.

The other ship carrying the Magic Cannon had originally intended to board, but seeing that Mondo was dead, they hurriedly chose to retreat.

In fact, destroying the Dennis to this extent already signaled the success of this assassination mission.

After all, trapped on this sea without islands, they basically had no possibility of escaping alive.

"Want to leave?"

Luoning sneered; they come when they want and leave when they want—how could things be that easy?

"Knight Lisi, how is your courage?"

"You need not doubt my courage!"

Lisi puffed out his chest: "Speak, what do you want me to do?"

Luoning pointed at the ship at the stern, "Go, take that ship! And I..."

He crouched down, controlling his Battle Qi at the soles of his feet, then kicked off the deck fiercely; the Battle Qi erupted, generating a huge thrust, and his entire body shot out like a cannonball. (End of chapter)
