The Mortal's Path to Immortality

Watching Xiong Ming leave.

Cao Rui also began to prepare.

After the Chinese New Year, Cao Rui's team also absorbed several new gang members.

They were all fourth-rate good people, plus Tang Yueming, there was a total of one official gang member under them.

Cao Rui gathered the people and explained the matter of the pirates.

"Fuck him!"

"Dare to rob our Whale Gang's supplies? You are really looking for death!"

A group of gang members were indignant.

What is the purpose of practicing martial arts in normal times? Isn't it to serve the gang when the gang needs it?

Tang Yueming also said: "Xiang, you decide what to do and give orders, we all listen to you."

"We have to leave a few people to watch the house."

"The rest of the people, follow me and Xiong Ming and Xiang to set off tomorrow to hunt down the pirates."

Cao Rui thought about it and left three calm-minded guards to guard Youquan Street.

Pick out eight people from Tang Yueming's group, and set out tomorrow with Xiong Ming to hunt down the pirates.

That day.

Xiong Ming found five speedboats.

After asking fishermen, cargo ships, passenger ships and other channels.

It was roughly determined that the pirates' lair should be in a reed marsh.

......

The next morning.

Cao Rui brought eight gang members to

gather at the dock.

Xiong Ming came earlier.

After all, he had been a gangster longer than Cao Rui, and there were five formal gang members under him.

Including Xiong Ming and Cao Rui himself, there were a total of 25 people, just enough to divide into five boats.

"Cao Rui."

"Xiong Xiang."

Cao Rui and Xiong Ming nodded to each other, and then began to board the boats one after another.

The boat Xiong Ming found was the fastest small sailboat in Heishui Town.

After all personnel boarded the boat, a group of sharp-minded gang members of the Whale Gang immediately set off along the river.

Led by Xiong Ming's boat.

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

In Cao Rui's small boat, Tang Yueming and three other gang members sat.

Adjusting the sails, one gang member steered the boat, and two gang members rowed the boat, and the small boat was moving very fast.

It takes half a day to get from Heishui Town to Ningyuan County.

The place where this group of pirates hid was in the middle of this section of the journey.

Through inquiries, it can be basically determined that this group of pirates probably came to this river years ago.

The specific origin is unknown.

However, some fishermen who were robbed seem to have heard the accent of Yueguo among the pirates.

Yueguo and Xiaoguo are neighboring countries. At present, the central court of Yueguo has collapsed, and there are many princes in the country, and there are constant wars.

It is normal for Yueguo forces to escape to Xiaoguo and become bandits.

Whether it is true or not, we have to catch the real one to confirm.

More than an hour later.

The boat of Cao Rui and his party sailed to the vicinity of the target reed marsh.

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

The team had to disperse and search towards the reed marsh.

After searching for half an hour.

A small boat found a pirate ship docked deep in the reed marsh.

There were two ships in total.

It was docked at the edge of a small island deep in the reed marsh.

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

"That's the ship! The one next to it is our supply ship!" The gang member in charge of transporting supplies under Xiong Ming recognized the ship.

"Cao Xiang!" Xiong Ming looked at Cao Rui.

Cao Rui paused for a moment and said, "Dock directly beside their boats and control the boats. They can't run far even if they want to."

"Don't show mercy after reaching the shore. Kill anyone you see!"

"But don't forget that our main goal is to take back the supplies!"

Five small boats gathered and quickly rushed to the island under the command of Cao Rui.

It was a few meters away.

The pirates' secret sentry on the island discovered the five boats of the Whale Gang and blew the warning whistle.

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

"Damn it, if you dare to rob the supplies of the Whale Gang, you will all be on the island tomorrow!"

Xiong Ming roared and led the way into the pirates.

There were two or three pirates who gathered together.

As soon as they reached the shore, they rushed together.

Cao Rui locked onto the leader of the pirates with second-rate strength at a glance.

This man held a machete and chopped down two members of the Whale Gang with two consecutive slashes.

Cao Rui drew out the Youquan Sword, quickly killed the pirates who blocked him, and came to the leader of the pirates.

"Your opponent is me!"

Cao Rui's internal strength burst out, and his powerful [Yanyu Sword Technique] was fully unleashed.

Combined with the [Yanyun Tengmo Technique] he had just used, his body and sword skills were frighteningly fast.

The leader of the pirates barely raised his sword to block seven or eight moves, and Cao Rui's sword cut open his chest, and a trace of blood splashed out.

"Retreat!"

The leader of the pirates did not hesitate, shouted loudly and turned around and ran.

But how could he outrun Cao Rui?

The great smoke and cloud method was launched, and Cao Rui's figure really turned into a wisp of smoke and cloud, and in a flash he caught up with the pirate leader.

Another sword cut the pirate leader's back.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the pirate leader directly pulled out the big knife in his body, fell to the ground and knelt, saying, "Sir, spare my life! I surrender!"

Cao Rui frowned slightly and stopped the attack. The accent of this guy did sound like that of the Yue Kingdom.

Just when he was thinking about whether to accept the surrender of the pirate leader.

The pirate leader suddenly took out a bag of powder from his chest and sprinkled it on Cao Rui.

"Wrong decision! How can you lose your mind at this time?"

Cao Rui was furious, and he closed his eyes directly, and instead of retreating, he 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.

As soon as the pirate leader died, the other pirates jumped into the river to escape.

"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.

I had been smooth sailing all the way, and I didn't really experience too many disputes in the martial arts world.

After all, I was less vigilant and careless.

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

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

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

After washing his face.

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

But 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 Ming sent someone to check the supply ship. Only one night had passed, and the pirates on the supply ship had not yet distributed the supplies. Everything was fine, and he felt relieved.

The pirates left behind more than a dozen corpses, and the number of people who actually ran away was also in the single digits.

On the side of the 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 Ming.
