"Lord Zhu, something's wrong, Demonic Evil has arrived!"
The boat captain shouted in panic.
"What's the panic? It's just a mere Demonic Evil. Haven't you seen them on the way here? Hasn't Lord Zhu killed enough of them?"
The young Colonel reprimanded with displeasure.
"That's right. If Demonic Evil comes, it can only be their bad luck."
The Yunzhou provincial army chimed in indifferently from the side.
Lord Zhu smiled, "They've come at the perfect time. It's a good chance to let our brothers from the Canoe Gang in Qingzhou witness the strength of our Yunzhou Demon Suppressing Division."
"Hahaha..."
"Exactly, exactly..."
Li Xian stood at the doorway of the room, watching them rush out with a strange look on his face.
Were they truly strong and unafraid of the attacking Demonic Evil?
Or were they simply ignorant of how powerful the Demonic Evil outside was?
Soon, Li Xian would know the answer.
Upon reaching the deck outside, the group led by General Banner Zhu, who had been so high-spirited moments before, were all dumbfounded when they saw the dense swarm of Demonic Evil, each as large as a door panel, covering the surface of the Grand Canal.
"This... what... what is this..." The Colonel's face turned pale, his legs began to tremble, and he even started to stutter. All his previous arrogance was gone.
Although he often acted tough by borrowing others' might and liked to show off, he wasn't stupid at all.
On the contrary, he was quite smart and quick-witted. He could tell at a glance that even ten Lord Zhus would probably just be food for this swarm of Demonic Evil.
"These are Pig Dragons. They are the most common Demonic Evil in the Grand Canal, but..."
The boat captain shouted with a hoarse voice.
"But there are too many of them! This isn't normal..."
At this critical juncture, nothing else mattered. They could only grit their teeth and fight.
Lord Zhu himself was afraid, but what could he do?
"Call everyone out! Let's go together! No one can back down at a time like this."
Li Xian didn't need to be called; he was already on the deck.
He looked down into the Grand Canal and found that the so-called Pig Dragons looked very similar to crocodiles from his previous life, just fiercer and uglier. Their bodies seemed to be covered in thick black armor, their eyes were blood-red, and they looked very aggressive.
"Oh, these little guys are quite unique-looking," Li Xian said with interest.
Perhaps hearing Li Xian's teasing, the Pig Dragon swarm below began to ram the grain ship more frequently.
The sounds of impact were incessant, making everyone on the ship tremble with fear and their hands and feet shake.
"Boat captain, how good is your ship? How long can it hold out at this rate?"
The Colonel asked with a worried expression.
Speaking of this, the boat captain's spirits rose. He said with pride.
"My ship has iron armor protection underneath, it's very reliable! Ordinary Demonic Evil can't break through it!"
Everyone was overjoyed to hear this, and hope began to ignite in their hearts.
"So, we'll be fine then?"
The boat captain held up a finger.
The Colonel didn't understand and tried to guess.
"Are you saying, Captain, that we can last through the night?"
The boat captain shook his head.
"An hour?"
The boat captain still shook his head.
He's still shaking his head?
"Then how long? Just say it!" the Colonel shouted impatiently.
The boat captain said with a bitter expression, "The time it takes to brew a cup of tea!"
Damn it!
Won't it be broken through immediately?
Everyone was almost angered to death.
Cannot find the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe the name has been changed!
Another particularly heavy thud came from below the ship. The entire ship shook three times, appearing to be on the verge of collapse.
"Something's wrong, there's a particularly large one below!"
A boatman shouted in terror from below.
There's no time.
Lord Zhu was burning with anxiety. He gritted his teeth, watching Li Xian's expression gradually turn cold.
"Hall Master Li."
"Hm?"
"Please take your men down to the ship's hold and open the gates to fight the Demonic Evil. We'll assist you from up here!"
The bottom of the grain ship, near the water level, was equipped with a gate. This served two purposes: facilitating unloading and allowing them to fight enemies approaching from the water.
However, the Pig Dragon was a ferocious aquatic Demonic Evil. Sending Li Xian down to face it now was tantamount to sending them to their deaths.
"What did you say???"
Brother Xin and Wan Cai cried out in outrage.
Li Xian frowned, a murderous intent already stirring within him.
Lord Zhu understood. Since the words had been spoken, it meant both sides had drawn their swords and there was no turning back. They had to see this through to the bitter end.
"I've made myself clear. Do I need to say it again?" he said with a sinister expression.
Li Xian sighed, his face calm. "Lord Zhu, do you know what you're doing?"
Lord Zhu retorted, "I don't need you to tell me what I'm doing. But if you disobey, do you know the consequences?"
The threat in his words was obvious. His subordinates even drew half their sword hilts, ready to attack at any moment.
"You've gone too far!"
Brother Xin and Wan Cai shouted angrily, but they were helpless.
Their strength was insufficient. Faced with such a situation, they could only vent their frustration with a few shouts.
Lord Zhu paid them no mind, merely sneering at Li Xian.
"Well, Hall Master Li, what's your choice?"
All eyes turned to Li Xian.
Facing the aggressive Yunzhou Demon Suppressing Division and his subordinates looking at him with hopeful anticipation, Li Xian smiled.
He leisurely drew the sword at his waist.
"This sword was personally given to me by Chief Cao after I killed Zhang Yangming."
"I didn't want it at first because I don't know any sword techniques. But after killing Zhang Yangming, I got back the Merit Points that were rightfully mine, and I used them to exchange for a sword technique."
"After spending some time practicing this technique, I was frustrated that I had no opportunity to use it."
"I didn't expect this chance to come today!"
Lord Zhu couldn't help but sneer inwardly upon hearing this.
Practicing a sword technique for only a few days and he has the nerve to brag.
However, he said, "What a coincidence, Hall Master Li. With this precious sword, you'll surely be able to handle the Pig Dragon down there with ease."
Li Xian smiled. "The Pig Dragon must be killed, but before that, I need to kill a few people!"
"Who do you want to kill?"
"Naturally, it's..."
"You!"
A silver-white sword light flashed.
A chilling sword intent spread across the deck like spilled mercury, freezing everyone in place.
"What sword technique is this!"
Lord Zhu's heart turned to ice. He opened his mouth wide but couldn't utter a sound, only watching as the sword light sliced towards his neck.
"Extreme Cold Line of Heaven!"
Li Xian's voice echoed leisurely.
The sword light flashed and vanished!
Plop!
Lord Zhu's head fell lifelessly to the ground, his eyes wide with unquenchable fear.
A deathly silence fell upon the deck!
