Chapter 313 - 302: Slaughter, Shock
The tyrannical, blood-colored fist shattered the three men’s Ming Jin defenses as if they were brittle twigs.
Then, a storm of heavy punches rained down, mercilessly bombarding their bodies.
"CRUNCH! CRUNCH!"
A sickening chorus of snapping bones rang out. Under the terrifying power of Su Yu’s fists, the three men’s bodies twisted horrifically, like sandbags struck by heavy crossbow bolts.
"THUD, THUD, THUD!"
With three dull thuds, three bodies, like broken sacks, slammed hard onto the deck and slid a great distance.
Finally, they collapsed like dead dogs. They twitched a few times, then lay still, their lives extinguished.
From the moment Su Yu boarded the ship to his brutal, head-on slaughter of three Hall Masters at the Perfection level—all of it happened in less than three minutes.
Only when the three Hall Masters’ corpses lay completely still did the surrounding Giant Whale Gang members, who had been waving banners and cheering, finally snap back to reality as if from a dream. In an instant, their faces turned ashen. Some were so terrified their legs gave out, and they collapsed right there on the deck.
"The... the three Hall Masters lost?"
"Who the hell is he? Isn’t he also in the Flesh Refining Realm?"
"Run! Run! He’s a monster!"
"We can’t run! Everyone, work together and hold him back! If the gang leaders find out we deserted in the middle of a fight, they’ll skin us alive!"
"Hold him back my ass! Even three Perfection-level Hall Masters were killed instantly! If we go up there, we’re just committing suicide! Go get the two gang leaders to save us!"
Looking at these Water Bandits, who were running around like headless flies and screaming in chaos, Su Yu’s face showed no trace of pity. ’Now that I’m on this ship, I don’t plan on leaving any survivors!’
He took a deep breath, like a great whale inhaling the sea, and all the bloody Evil Qi dissipating from the three corpses flowed into his body. The Ape Demon Evil Qi within him intensified.
Then, with a flip of his wrist, he pulled a large handful of smooth Flying Locust Stones from his Storage Ring.
"A Sky Full of Scattered Gold!"
"SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH—"
Dozens of Flying Locust Stones transformed into a black shadow. Empowered by the Spiral Armor-Breaking Trait, the stones shot out like armor-piercing bullets, screaming through the air as they instantly covered the entire deck!
"PFFT! PFFT! PFFT! PFFT..."
The dull thuds of flesh being pierced sounded in a dense volley, like a sudden burst of rain.
Every Flying Locust Stone Su Yu threw now packed the power of a full-blown strike from a Flesh Refining Realm expert; these ordinary gang members stood no chance.
Aside from a few minor leaders who had reached the Flesh Refining Realm and were merely injured, the remaining dozens of men were all struck by the terrifying Flying Locust Stones in vital spots like their brows and throats. They fell in swathes, like harvested wheat, collapsing into pools of blood.
"Damn it! He’s also a terrifying master of Hidden Weapons! Run!"
"Gang Leader! Help us!!!"
The few surviving Water Bandit leaders were scared witless. No longer caring about gang rules, they let out desperate cries for help.
「On the water below, not far from the warship.」
The burly woman in white, Sun Rui, was locked in a fierce battle with Qian Qinghong on the surface of the river.
Hearing the piercing screams from the warship above her, Sun Rui whipped her head around to look. When she saw that the entire ship of elites she had brought had been slaughtered in just a few moments by that pretty-faced punk, her eyes instantly turned crimson.
"You little bastard! How dare you kill men from my Giant Whale Gang!"
Sun Rui trembled with fury. She immediately tried to abandon her fight with Qian Qinghong and leap back onto the ship to provide aid.
However, how could Qian Qinghong possibly let her get her way?
The pair of Silver Dragon Shuttles in her hands were like two silver dragons bursting from the sea, instantly weaving a splendid net of silver light in midair.
Silver Dragon Overlapping Wave Stance erupted!
The terrifying, viscous pull, like that of a deep-sea vortex, combined with a relentless grinding force, instantly sealed off Sun Rui’s high and middle escape routes, forcing her to repeatedly swing her saber to parry and holding her in place.
"You bitch, you’re courting death!"
Hearing the screams of her subordinates above growing fainter, Sun Rui flew into a complete rage.
At the same time, a cold dread rose in her heart. ’If Xue Kuang gets here and sees that the entire crew has been killed... with his brutal personality, he’ll skin me alive!’
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!"
Sun Rui roared again, seemingly activating some sort of secret technique. The muscles on her already thick arms swelled another size, and veins bulged like coiling dragons.
She was like a rampaging Tyrannosaurus, swinging the Horse-cutting Saber with both hands in a brutal downward slash.
"CLANG—"
With a piercing clang of metal on metal, the ferocious Horse-cutting Saber savagely smashed against the flying Silver Dragon Shuttles. It forcibly cleaved a path with sheer brute force, knocking Qian Qinghong back several steps.
Then, Sun Rui stomped down hard. With a loud BOOM, her foot blasted a huge crater in the river’s surface. She then took several consecutive steps in midair, leaping toward the Giant Whale Gang’s treasure ship.
However, Qian Qinghong smiled faintly. Her opponent’s escape was playing right into her hands.
In that precise instant, while Sun Rui was in midair—her old momentum spent, new momentum not yet generated—
Qian Qinghong gave a light tug with her fair hand.
The two Silver Dragon Shuttles that had been knocked away carved a graceful arc through the air. Between the twin shuttles and Qian Qinghong, a Dragon Tendon, almost invisible to the naked eye, instantly snapped taut!
"Silver Dragon Annihilation!"
Pulled by the transparent Dragon Tendon, the pair of Silver Dragon Shuttles shot out like twin dragons bursting from the sea. They instantly caught up to the fleeing Sun Rui, slicing toward her back.
