However, looking at Chen Clan’s merchant fleet, their morale was greatly boosted after their Divine Might Cannon hit an enemy ship.

“Good, my uncle’s Divine Might Cannon really is powerful.” Chen Xiuwu excitedly punched the air, shouting, “Shoot, keep hitting them hard for me.

Whoever makes a new successful hit, this Young Clan Leader will reward with one hundred Qian Gold.”

One hundred Qian Gold?

The household heads operating the Divine Might Cannons suddenly felt their blood boiling.

… They franticly increased their rapidity as if injected with steroids.

Each Divine Might Cannon employed three household heads for operation.

With one successful hit, each head would receive at least thirty Qian Gold.

For ordinary clan members, it may take a year’s worth of sustenance to achieve this sum.

If the household heads joined the shipfight, they would receive a relatively high subsidization per day, but it would typically range around ten to eighty Copper Coins.

Thirty Qian Gold was a considerable sum for any cultivators in the Vital Energy Refining Realm.

The fourth Divine Might Cannon still missed the huge Jiaolong Warship target.

However, the fifth shell was exceptionally lucky and hit the bow and sides of one of the Jiaolong warships directly.

“Bang!”

Wood shards flew in all directions, and the solid iron ball perforated the ship, creating a hole as big as a water barrel.

It stirred around inside the ship body, demolishing many compartments.

The ship shook as soon as the sea wind rushed in, slowing its speed.

“One hundred Qian Gold, grateful for Young Clan Leader’s reward!” The three household heads from the fifth group started howling with excitement.

Those who missed their shots in the other groups had expressions full of regret.

Yet, their eyebrows showed a ferocious determination to score a hit in the next round.

There were a total of five Divine Might Cannons.

After hurling their initial round of shells, they paused and started loading for the second round.

This was merely Wang Clan’s initial version of Divine Might Cannon with nothing but a sturdy cannon barrel.

Everything else was still primitive.

However, the Jiaolong Warship was unaware of this fact.

After being hit twice, they seemed to be frightened by this mysterious weapon and significantly slowed down due to their natural fear and caution towards unfamiliar things.

That gave Chen’s merchant fleet an opening.

The two fleets continued to chase each other across a certain distance in the waters outside Donggang.

A short while later, the five Divine Might cannons were fully loaded again.

The previous real battle experience and the stimulation of Qian Gold had significantly increased the speed and efficiency of the household heads.

“Uncle said that the Divine Might Cannon would have a better effect if fired simultaneously.” Chen Xiuwu had applied the advantage of being a Young Clan Leader, puffing up his abdomen full of Mysterious Energy and shouting, “All Divine Might Cannons take orders, aim at the Jiaolong Gang’s flagship and focus on one single point.

Make the power of the Divine Might Cannons known, and don’t waste my uncle’s painstaking efforts.”

Young Clan Leader Chen Xiuwu always mentioned his uncle fondly.

Clearly, his idol was not his father Chen Fangjie, but his uncle Wang Shouzhe.

“Fire!”

As Chen Xiuwu gave the order, the sound of five Divine Might cannons firing simultaneously rang out.

“Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom,” the iron balls whistled towards the Jiaolong Battalion flagship.

I have to say, the cannonball’s muzzle velocity of the Divine Might Cannon was far slower than that of modern Earth cannons, which are five to six times the speed of sound.

But the term ‘slow’ is entirely relative.

With the speed approximately equal to the speed of sound, the Divine Might Cannon’s shell could shoot nearly a hundred feet away in a blink of an eye.

The distance between the two sides was only about forty feet, so the solid iron balls went off in front of the enemies in an instant.

Whether it was sheer luck or the stimulation of Qian Gold,

Of the five Divine Might Cannon shells fired, three astonishingly hit the enemy flagship.

One of them bizarrely hit the main mast, causing the mast with its sails to crash onto the deck.

The other two, with remarkable ease, pierced through the ship’s side; the shells entering the ship stirred up mayhem, and one of them broke a keel.

The entire Jiaolong flagship began to creak and wobble.

Being river ships, they valued speed, which meant their defensive capabilities were far inferior to Chen’s ocean-going merchant ships.

Lu Jinyi’s face turned pale, “Great Commander, we cannot go on like this.

Maybe we should let Chen’s merchant fleet go for now.” he suggested.

“Run away?” Zhao Wuqing’s scarred face twitched, “Our mission this time is to suppress the Chen Clan, showcase our Jiaolong Gang’s strength, and ultimately force the Changning In-law Alliance, led by the Wang Clan, to bow to us, allowing us to indirectly intervene in maritime interests.”

“And now, you’re asking me to run away?

What face would I have to meet my father-in-law?” A domineering aura rose from him, as if a whirlwind soared straight to the skies, “Chen’s mysterious weapon is just a novelty, effective when dealing with ordinary people, but they seem to have forgotten, in this world, power rules after all.”

With that, Zhao Wuqing leaped forward; within a few breaths, he appeared over the merchant ship, appearing as intimidating as a heavenly deity surveying mortal existence.

“Tianren Realm Cultivator!”

Both Chen Fanghua and Chen Xiuwu looked at each other, their faces pale and despondent.

Their spirits of gaining the upper hand a moment ago now vanished.

“Get the crossbows ready!

Covering shot~”

As one of the mainstays of the Chen Clan, Chen Fanghua had seen many ups and downs and roared out orders immediately.

His commanding Spiritual Platform Realm voice cut through the sea wind and was heard by every other ship, like a bell tolling the dawn and dusk.

For the vast majority of sailors or household heads, Tianren realm cultivators are legendary existences, encountered only in tales.

Numerous legends and wonders tell that Tianren realm cultivators are aloof and unbeatable forces.
