Chapter 2394: Chapter 2395: Battle Against the Black Pirates Again

”It’s that group of bastards again, are they determined to fight to the death with us?” Fo Lanying cursed angrily.

Bai Ruozhu squinted at the distance, ”They probably have a rule that thieves never leave empty-handed. Since they’ve decided to make a move, they can’t leave any survivors.”

”I really want to catch them and give them a good beating. What kind of skill is it to rely on a powerful ship?” Fo Lanying was even more furious.

Bai Ruozhu sighed inwardly. On the battlefield, you could rely on superior warhorses or weapons to kill the enemy, and of course, at sea you could depend on the advantage of advanced ships.

As they spoke, the black ship drew closer, and Bai Ruozhu finally got a clear view of the people on the enemy deck.

Leading them was naturally the Black Boss, and behind him stood a group of subordinates, the same people who had formed the sword array that day — they had been poisoned by Bai Ruozhu back then, but now each one stood there, perfectly fine.

Bai Ruozhu squinted his eyes, noting that the opponents had a skilled doctor. He wasn’t sure about their poison skills, but their detoxification abilities were undoubtedly exceptional.

In the distance, Black Boss also looked toward Bai Ruozhu, a provocative glint in his eyes.

Bai Ruozhu and his companions grabbed rockets, ready to light them and shoot at the Black Pirates’ ship, just waiting for them to come into range.

But just then, the Black Pirates’ ship stopped, intentionally staying out of range!

The next moment, the sides of the ship opened, revealing several cannon muzzles, and with a thunderous sound, cannonballs were fired at them!

”Damn, they’re relying on those cannons with long range to catch us off guard,” Mo Beishan said, hopping mad.

Fortunately, Yuan Licheng had set up an array in advance, and the cannonballs couldn’t hit the boat, being blocked by the defensive cover of the array. However, even so, the powerful cannons caused the boat to shake violently.

Jiang Yichun frowned and said to Old Ding: ”Order the boat to keep moving forward; their ship is fast, but maintaining a reasonable distance from us isn’t easy for them either.”

”Alright.” Old Ding immediately started directing the crew. Being an experienced helmsman, just a few words from him had the sailors organized in no time.

Sure enough, some cannonballs from the Black Pirates fell into the sea, and their ship quickly approached. Bai Ruozhu and the others seized the opportunity, channeling their inner strength to draw their bows and shoot flaming arrows at the Black Pirate Ship.

At this moment, Black Boss and his men started moving. Someone flew into the air to block the arrows, knocking them into the sea. Black Boss jumped up and caught an arrow shot by Jiang Yichun with his bare hands, looking quite relaxed. He was indeed a master with strong inner strength!

”Among pirates, strength reigns supreme. Without some skills, that Black Boss couldn’t have kept his position,” Gao Zhou commented nearby.

At this point, the cannons from the Black Pirate Ship fired again, causing the entire boat to shake even more violently.

”The cannon attack is too fierce; I’m afraid the array won’t hold for long,” Yuan Licheng said.

Jiang Yichun frowned, ”I’ll go destroy the cannons.”

Bai Ruozhu grabbed him, ”Last time you said it was hard to destroy them; it’s too dangerous to go now.”

”I don’t know what material their cannons are made of; even a sword strike only leaves a small mark,” Jiang Yichun said, troubled, ”I’ll find something to block their muzzle.”

”No way!” Tang Feng quickly said, ”If it’s not blocked tightly enough, with the power of their cannons, whatever’s blocking it could be shot out. What if they fire rapidly and you get hurt?”

Bai Ruozhu’s eyes suddenly brightened, ”How could I forget this.”

She said as she took out several bottles of medicine liquid, ”This is a poison that can melt metal, maybe it can dissolve their cannons.”

She had used it to deal with many mechanical puppets in the Jiuli secret realm before, but with everything that’s happened recently, she had completely overlooked it.

Jiang Yichun was about to take the poison to destroy the cannons when Bai Ruozhu pulled him back again, signaling him with a discreet look.

”The poison was made by me; you won’t be able to use it. I’ll go myself.”

Jiang Yichun’s eyes flashed with disapproval, but he knew that from such a distance, it was impossible to go there out of thin air. They would have to use a small boat or some other means. Bai Ruozhu was worried that if he fell into the water, or if water splashed on his legs and he unexpectedly grew a fishtail ...

But he was a man. How could he just stand by and watch as his woman went into danger?

”No, it’s too dangerous. I’ll go!” he said firmly.

Bai Ruozhu was anxious. Even if his secret was exposed, so be it. But if he accidentally grew a fishtail and fell into the water, he wouldn’t be able to use it properly; he might not even know how to swim — wouldn’t that be courting death?

However, she knew his resolve was firm, and he would not let her take the risk alone.

After some thought, she gritted her teeth and said, ”Then let’s go together.”

At least with her by his side, if he did expose his fishtail, she could take him into the Space to hide.

”Alright.” Jiang Yichun had no choice but to agree.

The others wanted to persuade them not to go, but since they couldn’t use the poison, they had to let it go.

As for Mo Beishan and others suggesting they should go together to cover, they were also rejected by Bai Ruozhu.

”If we all go over, the other side will be on guard, which would make poisoning difficult. Plus, the fastest small boat doesn’t have space for extra people,” Bai Ruozhu said.

The others couldn’t say much more, so they could only watch as Jiang Yichun and Bai Ruozhu jumped into the small boat. Jiang Yichun took the oars and made a powerful stroke, propelling the boat a great distance forward.

He used his inner strength, along with his ability to control water, to quickly advance the small boat, but he could only control such a small boat; the official ship they were on was too large to propel.

”Damn, how are they moving so fast?” Black Boss cursed, raising his hand and fiercely throwing the rocket he had caught barehanded towards Jiang Yichun.

”Achun, watch out!” Bai Ruozhu called out anxiously.

The small boat could only accommodate two people standing front and back. Bai Ruozhu was standing behind Jiang Yichun, not daring to move recklessly for fear that Jiang Yichun might fall into the water. She couldn’t intercept the rocket coming straight at them.

Jiang Yichun calmly raised his other hand, sending a wave to extinguish the rocket instantly. The arrow was knocked off course, falling into the sea beside the small boat.

”Who are you?” Black Boss finally asked with a hint of surprise in his voice.

Jiang Yichun ignored him and continued to steer the boat forward, while the other pirates on the ship quickly started shooting arrows at him.

This time Bai Ruozhu’s magic defense activated, protecting him from the front. Arrows seemed to hit a wall, falling into the sea one after another.

With this brief delay, the small boat was already very close to the Black Pirate Ship.

”I’m going,” Bai Ruozhu whispered, then jumped onto a cannon barrel.

The Black Boss on the ship thought she was just using leverage, but quickly realized she was pouring something onto the cannon barrel. His expression instantly changed, ”Stop her quickly!”
