Chapter 22: Fierce Battle with Pirates

Watch Xiong Fangming leave.

Cao Rui also started to prepare.

After the New Year, Cao Rui's small team also recruited several new members.

They are all fourth-rate masters, and together with Tang Yueming, there are a total of eleven official helpers under his command.

Cao Rui called the people together and explained the water thieves.

"Fuck you!"

"Dare you steal supplies from our Giant Whale Gang? You are really looking for death!"

A group of gangsters were filled with indignation.

What is the purpose of practicing martial arts in daily life? Isn't it just to use martial arts to serve the gang when the gang needs it?

Tang Yueming also said: "Incense Master, please tell me what to do and give the order. We will all listen to you."

"We have to leave a few people to look after the house."

"The rest of the people are waiting. Tomorrow, I will set off with Master Xiong Fang Mingxiang to hunt down the water thieves."

Cao Rui thought for a while and left three housekeepers with calm personalities to guard Youquan Street.

Pick out eight people, including Tang Yueming, and set out with Xiong Fangming tomorrow to hunt down the water thieves.

It's the day.

Xiong Fangming found five Clippers.

Inquiries were made through fishermen, cargo ships, passenger ships and other channels.

It was probably determined that the water thief's lair should be in a reed swamp.

...

The next morning.

Cao Rui led eight accomplices,

Meet at the pier.

Xiong Mingfang came earlier.

After all, he has been the incense master longer than Cao Rui, and he has summoned a total of fifteen official members.

Including Xiong Fangming and Cao Rui themselves, there are a total of twenty-five people, which can be divided into five boats.

"Cao Rui."

"Master Xiongxiang."

Cao Rui and Xiong Fangming nodded to each other and began to board the ship one after another.

The boat Xiong Fangming found was the fastest small sailboat in Blackwater Town.

After everyone boarded the boat, a group of powerful whale gang members immediately set off along the river.

Led by Xiong Mingfang's boat.

In the formation of 122, five small boats moved forward quickly.

On the small boat where Cao Rui was, Tang Yueming and three other gang members were sitting.

The sails were adjusted, one helper was at the helm, and two helpers were rowing the oars. The small sailboat was moving very fast.

It's half a day's journey from Heishui Town to Ningyuan County.

The place where this group of water thieves lurks is in the middle of this journey.

Through inquiring, it can be basically determined that this group of water thieves probably came to this river channel many years ago.

The specific origin is unknown.

However, some fishermen who have been robbed seem to have heard that there is a Moon Country accent in Water Thief.

The Yue Kingdom and the Xiao Kingdom are neighboring countries. Currently, the central court of the Yue Kingdom has collapsed, and wars are ongoing among the princes in the country.

It is normal for some forces from the Yue Kingdom to flee into the Xiao Kingdom and become bandits.

Whether it is specific or not can only be determined by catching the real owner.

More than an hour later.

The boat of Cao Rui and his party arrived near the target reed marsh.

The terrain of the reed marsh here is complex and changeable.

The team had no choice but to disperse and search closer to the reed swamp.

I searched for half an hour.

A small boat discovered a water pirate ship docked deep in the reed swamp.

There are two boats in total.

Stopped at a small island deep in the reeds.

The situation notice came back, and five small boats approached the island.

"That's the ship! Next to it is our supply ship!" Xiong Mingfang's gang member responsible for transporting supplies recognized the ship.

"Master Cao Xiang!" Xiong Mingfang looked at Cao Rui.

Cao Rui paused for a while and said, "Dock directly next to their ship. If they want to control the ship, they won't be able to run far."

"Don't show mercy when you get ashore, just kill anyone you see!"

"But don't forget that our main goal is to retrieve supplies!"

Five small boats gathered together and quickly swept towards the island under the command of Cao Rui.

There are dozens of meters away.

The secret whistle of the water pirates on the small island discovered the five ships of the Giant Whale Gang and blew the warning whistle.

However, the boat was very fast and landed on the shore with the whistle.

"His grandma dares to rob the Giant Whale Gang's supplies, and you will all be responsible for being on the island today!"

Xiong Mingfang roared angrily and took the lead to charge into the group of water thieves.

There were twenty or thirty water thieves gathered.

Almost as soon as they landed, the two sides rushed together.

Cao Rui immediately identified the leader of the water thieves with second-rate strength at a glance.

This man was holding a machete and chopped down two members of the Whale Gang with two consecutive blows.

Cao Rui pulled out the Youquan Sword, quickly killed the water thief in front of him, and then came to the leader of the water thief.

"Your opponent is me!"

Cao Rui's inner energy burst out, and Dacheng's [Misty Rain Sword Technique] was fully activated.

Paired with the newly perfected [Smoke and Cloud Tendency Technique], both body and sword skills are frighteningly fast.

The leader of the water thieves barely raised his sword to block seven or eight moves, but Cao Rui's sword cut open the front of his clothes, and a trace of blood spattered out.

"withdraw!"

The leader of the water thieves did not hesitate, shouted loudly, turned around and ran away.

But how could he outrun Cao Rui?

Dacheng's cloud of smoke spread out, and Cao Rui's figure turned into a wisp of smoke, and he caught up with the leader of the water thieves in an instant.

Another sword cut open the water thief leader's back.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the leader of the water thieves threw away the sword in his hand and fell to his knees, "Sir, spare your life! I surrender!"

Cao Rui frowned slightly and stopped his attack. This guy's accent did sound like someone from the Moon Kingdom.

When he was thinking about whether to accept the surrender of the leader of the water pirates.

The leader of the water thieves suddenly took out a bag of powder from his chest and sprinkled it towards Cao Rui.

"Misstep! How can I lose my mind at this time?"

Cao Rui was furious, and he closed his eyes directly, and instead of retreating, he advanced, and used the ultimate move in [Yanyu Sword Technique] by feeling!

Puff.

Fortunately, Cao Rui's sword, which was fast and powerful, pierced the head of the pirate leader directly.

Once the pirate leader died, the other pirates jumped into the river to escape.

"Master Xiang, how are you?" Tang Yueming rushed over with blood on his face.

"It's nothing, just pepper, give me some water to wash."

Cao Rui couldn't help sneezing.

He had been smooth sailing all the way, and in fact, he had not really experienced too many disputes in the martial arts world.

After all, he was less vigilant and careless.

Next time, he must not be indecisive in battle like this time.

If the martial arts world is calculated by others, it will be difficult to move forward in the more vicious world of cultivation in the future.

Tang Yueming found a wooden bucket to fetch water for Cao Rui to wash.

After washing his face.

Cao Rui just opened his eyes. The pepper attack caused Cao Rui to sneeze a few times, but there was no other harm.

However, Cao Rui still thought he was too stupid.

This time it was pepper, what if it was bone-dissolving water next time?

In short, take this as a warning and be more cautious in the future.

Xiong Fangming sent people to check the supply ship. Only one night had passed, and the pirates on the supply ship had not had time to distribute the supplies. Everything was fine, and he was relieved.

The pirates left behind more than 20 corpses, and only a few people actually ran away.

On the side of the Giant Whale Gang, a total of three people died and five were injured.

Among the three dead, two were hacked to death by the pirate leader. These three were all gang members under Xiong Fangming.
