Chapter 653: Attack of the Pirates

As more of the toxins were forced out of his body, the rate at which Lu Xuan forced the poison out accelerated!

Soon, Lu Xuan had forced out all the toxins in the body!

Without the influence of the toxins, Lu Xuan could’ve clearly felt the injury on his body healing at an alarming rate.

Every cell was gradually recovering, along with the overall life force within his body!

It wouldn’t have been long before Lu Xuan’s combat strength returned to the Divine Transformation Realm!

Once that happened, Lu Xuan could at least defend himself!

The Deep-sea Basilisk had forced him into such a miserable state, nearly killing him in the process. Even if his level of cultivation had been reduced, it was hard for him to not be angered by this.

It felt as if there was a fire burning within him!

In the future, when his cultivation was strong enough, the first thing he would do was to kill this monster!

While Lu Xuan had forced the poison out to cure his wounds, night gradually fell.

A series of lights were turned on above the ship, illuminating the nearby sea.

Suddenly, the sounds of gongs and drums rang out.

Xu Tianying came out of the cabin in a hurry. By then, the guards of the Xu family had already run out of the cabin.

She looked into the distance to find more than a dozen warships flying towards their ship at an astonishing rate.

Their formation was shaped like a fan to surround them, with several ships even cutting off their escape from behind.

Each warship was as large as the Xu family’s ship. They also seemed more like professional warships, with each one possessing more combat strength than the Xu family’s ship did.

Her face turned white upon seeing the red flag hanging from the battleship.

The red side of the flag displayed a ferocious wolf head.

Not too far behind her, Uncle Chang’s voice trembled as he shouted, “It’s the Blood Wolf Pirate!”

A terrifying thought came to his mind: The Blood Wolf Pirate was a notorious team of pirates located near this part of the ocean.

This wasn’t only because the Blood Wolf Pirate was very strong. It was also said that the leader of the Blood Wolf Pirate was a top expert in the Divine Transformation Realm.

More importantly, the Blood Wolf Pirate’s methods were so cruel that nobody could avoid being killed by them. As long as people encountered them, the Blood Wolf Pirate would kill everyone on board and rob them of their goods.

There were no exceptions!

The Blood Wolf Pirate’s cruelty was exactly what triggered the joint encirclement and suppression of several cities and forces in the nearby sea, but the Blood Wolf Pirate themselves ultimately fled.

Currently, nobody knew where the lair of the Blood Wolf Pirate was!

This was why, even after several encirclement and crackdowns, causing serious injuries, the Blood Wolf Pirate never ended up completely wiped out. Instead, they had retaliated crazily. All the families suffered heavy losses, which ultimately resulted in nothing.

Since then, the Blood Wolf Pirate had become a significant threat in the nearby seas. If there was a large fleet with enough experts, it may be possible to contend against the Blood Wolf Pirate so that they would not dare to attack.

For ships like that of the Xu family, however, there was essentially no chance of survival.

On the Xu family’s ship, huge bed crossbows were pushed out in quick succession. The experts of the Xu family all wore serious expressions with even a certain sort of resolution on their faces.

They all knew about the Blood Wolf Pirate’s reputation. They had no chances of being spared by such a team of bloodthirsty pirates.

The Blood Wolf Pirate had always killed anyone unfortunate to fall into their sights, but there have been survivors of their attacks over the years. However, the number of survivors was so small that it might as well have been rare.

It was almost impossible to survive an attack from the Blood Wolf Pirate!

Uncle Chang quickly made a decision. “Miss, hurry up and leave. Allow me to protect you so that you can leave with the longevity grass. Let’s go while they haven’t surrounded us yet!”

“Old servant, I’ll stay and command the battleship!”

Nobody on the ship was able to escape, as the Blood Wolf Pirate would pretty much wipe them all out. However, it was obvious that Uncle Chang did not care much about the lives of everyone else on the ship; everyone, including himself, was far less important when compared to the young lady and the longevity grass.

Before Xu Tianying could come to a decision, however, she heard a strange voice ring out from up in the sky.

“Is that the Xu family’s ship? What a great target, hehe!”

A somewhat unruly and obstinate voice sounded from the dark clouds high up in the sky.

“Destroy it right now!”

Immediately afterward, a big hand appeared from the void and grabbed at the ship, wanting to capture the people on the warship alive.

In the blink of an eye, many huge arrows were fired from above the bed of crossbows.

The arrows from the crossbows were wrapped in layers of runes, which instantly burst into dazzling light and landed on that big hand in quick succession.

However, the crossbow, whose arrows were capable of piercing through a mountain, was not able to do anything to the big hand; the arrow was directly shot down.

“Destroy it!”

Suddenly, a terrifying chill swept towards the ship as a layer of ice appeared around the huge hand.

As soon as the giant hand broke out, it froze the boundary above the ship into ice, causing it to gradually break apart.

At that moment, people saw a middle-aged man with a strong build standing high in the sky. On this middle-aged man’s face was a huge scar that had stretched across his entire face, making him look extremely ferocious. His grin made him look like the devil.

Uncle Chang immediately recognized this man. “Miss, it’s the Deputy Commander of the Blood Wolf Pirate, Zhang Qifeng!”

Over the years, experts in several coastal cities had been encircling and suppressing the Blood Wolf Pirate. Although they had not been successful, they still got a clear picture of what the Blood Wolf Pirate was like. They knew that some members of the Blood Wolf Pirate possessed high levels of cultivation.

There were even pictures of them!

However, just knowing about them was useless; there was nothing that anyone could do about Zhang Qifeng!

Zhang Qifeng grinned with a bit of ruthlessness and disdain in his eyes as he said, “Well, I didn’t expect someone on this ship to be able to stop my attack! Tell me; what’s your name?”

Even after his attack had been blocked, he did not panic. After all, he merely saw the Xu family’s ship as their prey. It was only a matter of stalling for even a little while. This made it seem like a cat and mouse chase between them.

“I am Huang Zhao!”

At this moment, Elder Huang rose from the ship and arrived opposite Zhang Qifeng.

Zhang Qifeng grinned as he said, “Ah, it’s you. Not bad. You should be honored to know that you’re worthy of my consideration!”

Huang Zhao was another top expert who was half a step into the Divine Transformation Realm!

Although these experts were not as powerful as those who were fully in the Divine Transformation Realm, even the Blood Wolf Pirate had to always keep track of their movements. That way, they could avoid accidentally encountering an expert in the Divine Transformation Realm who could annihilate them.
