Chapter 76: Clean the deck, annihilate them all!
"Ah! Help!"
"My leg... my leg was blown off!"
After the violent explosion, a crater ten feet wide appeared on the deck of the Zhou family's demon-catching ship, and the crew members within this area were either dead or maimed.
"A top-grade spirit crossbow? Fiery Burst Arrow!"
Zhou Maolin scrambled to his feet from the deck in a disheveled state. The point where the Flameburst Crossbow had hit him was not far away. If he hadn't dodged in time, he probably would have been injured by that attack as well!
The black spirit ship opposite had no family markings, so it must be a Tribulation Cultivator. But the question is, how could these Tribulation Cultivators possess such a powerful spirit crossbow?
Little did they know that a year ago, when the Gong family's fleet encountered the Red Serpent Gang, they were also caught off guard by the Red Serpent Gang's spirit crossbows. Now, it seems that cause and effect have come full circle.
"You lot, come with me!"
Zhou Maolin realized what was happening and quickly led several of his men toward the bow of the ship.
His demon-hunting ship was also equipped with spirit crossbows, although there were only four of them, but if operated properly, they could hold off the enemy for a while.
Moreover, as the captain, he also carried a considerable number of Fireball Arrows in his storage bag.
But before he could get close to the bow of the ship, another mournful howl echoed through the night sky.
"not good!"
Zhou Maolin's expression changed, and he immediately activated his movement technique, his figure flashing backward!
"boom!"
The deck where Zhou Maolin was originally located was engulfed by the surging flames. Although he managed to dodge the attack by relying on his agility, the crew members who were with him were in trouble.
The flames from the explosion mercilessly tore their bodies apart, leaving them no time to even scream.
The power of a top-grade spirit crossbow is indeed remarkable, and it can even pose a threat to cultivators at the peak of the Spirit Gathering stage, but only if it hits!
No matter what level a cultivator is at, they cannot stand still and let you hit them.
"Captain, why not just destroy their crossbows?"
On the Mo Jiao, a young crew member saw Chen Ye manipulating a top-grade spirit crossbow, leaving behind clusters of fire on the Zhou family's demon-hunting ship, killing many people, but without firing at their spirit crossbows.
"Now that the spirit crossbows are destroyed, will these people still remain on the deck?"
Chen Ye sneered and fired another Flameburst Arrow, which accurately hit several Zhou family crew members who were trying to retaliate with their spirit crossbows!
The crossbows on the bow of the Zhou family's demon-catching ship have become deadly bait; anyone who dares to approach will be killed by Chen Ye!
"Pass down the order: fire all demon-hunting crossbows; the rest of you, prepare to board the ship!"
As soon as Chen Ye finished speaking, he maneuvered the Ink Dragon to approach the Zhou family's demon-catching ship at top speed.
Only a few breaths have passed since he launched his attack, but the Ink Dragon, with its speed far exceeding that of other spirit ships of the same level, has already closed to within a hundred feet of the Zhou family's ship!
Even a low-level spirit crossbow could easily reach that distance.
next moment.
Whoosh whoosh! !
Blinding beams of light ripped through the night sky. The power of the low-grade spirit crossbow was not as great as that of the top-grade spirit crossbow that Chen Ye personally controlled, but each shot could still cause considerable damage.
In an instant, one side of the Zhou family's demon-catching ship was almost entirely engulfed in flames, with limbs scattered everywhere, blood and flesh flying everywhere, and even the mangled corpses of some crew members hanging high on the mast, resembling a scene of purgatory!
Zhou Maolin finally realized belatedly that the reason the crossbow at the bow of the ship had not been destroyed was because the other side wanted to lure them to stay on the deck to fight back.
"Shameless villain!"
He cursed and swore, ignoring the crew members with broken arms and legs, as he dodged the fireballs with his agility and roared loudly.
"Everyone, get down to the cabin immediately!"
Actually, he didn't need to remind them. The crew members weren't stupid; they had already swarmed into the cabin when the attack started.
Unfortunately, this ship was a large demon-catching vessel, seventy zhang long, with nearly a hundred crew members.
Although not all crew members went up to the deck, their rush down caused a lot of people to get stuck at the cabin entrance in a chaotic mess.
Upon seeing this, Chen Ye immediately turned his spirit crossbow around and fired a fireball!
"boom!!"
With a deafening roar, flames shot up, and shockwaves surged. This arrow killed or injured at least a dozen crew members!
However, it did help clear the way for them. The other crew members didn't care about their companions' severed limbs and corpses and rushed towards the cabin.
"Boarding!"
Chen Ye was very satisfied with the power of this attack, but at this moment the two ships were already extremely close. Using the Flame Burst Arrow would not only be a waste, but also easily cause friendly fire.
As the captain and the strongest fighter on the Mo Jiao, Chen Ye naturally wouldn't be cowardly enough to send his men to their deaths.
It's important to know that there's more than just one Zhou family ship in this area. With so many casualties, who will take over the control of the Mo Jiao?!
"kill!"
Before Chen Ye's voice had even finished, he had already rushed onto the Zhou family's demon-catching ship. Seeing their captain taking the lead, the crew members also wielded their respective magical artifacts and followed Chen Ye's figure.
If even the captain doesn't care about the danger, how can they be content to lag behind?
On the deck, a Zhou family crew member was clutching his broken thigh and groaning in pain when he suddenly sensed footsteps approaching. He endured the excruciating pain and looked up to see a tall, handsome young cultivator striding toward him.
"you……"
Pfft!
A sharp glint of energy flashed past, and the man's head exploded, his death gruesome, yet he could no longer feel any pain.
"Clear the deck, and kill all Zhou family cultivators!" Chen Ye coldly ordered.
The two families have long been irreconcilable enemies. Although some of these crew members are independent cultivators, in Chen Ye's eyes, they are no different from the cultivators of the Zhou family!
As soon as the order was given, a one-sided massacre began on the deck. Every member of the Zhou family who was still alive, or whose body was still relatively intact, was stabbed.
Chen Ye himself also unleashed his set of blue and red swords, reaping lives at top speed.
Over the past month, Chen Ye has used his powerful spiritual energy to refine the two top-grade magic weapons and the Vortex Blade Wheel that he captured, and now he can control them at will.
"This...this is the Twin Dragon Sword! How did Uncle Wanshan's magical artifact end up in your hands?"
A severely injured member of the Zhou family exclaimed in disbelief.
Zhou Wanshan is not a small figure in the Zhou family, and his cultivation at the peak of the Spirit Gathering stage makes him one of the family's top combat forces.
The young cultivator before them, though ruthless in his methods, was only at the seventh level of the Spirit Condensation Realm.
"The reason is simple: because I killed Zhou Wanshan!"
Chen Ye's lips curled slightly, and with a thought, the blue and red swords spewed out a chilling sword light, directly severing the man's head!
"The Twin Dragon Swords?"
Chen Ye raised his hand and summoned the two swords, one green and one red, which swirled around him with agility. In a daze, the sword shadows emitted by the two top-grade magic swords were truly like dragons swimming.
"This name is quite fitting..."
