Fierce Battle on the Ship

Using a pair of bare palms to contend against a weapon was not exactly unheard of, but at the very least, one's own strength had to far surpass the opponent's. Otherwise, the only outcome was injury.

A muffled groan came from Alonso's mouth. His thin little body instantly staggered, his face turning pale in a flash, and his palm was nothing but a bloody mess of torn flesh.

Though he had successfully stopped Taylor's long whip, Alonso had taken no light injury himself.

His strength was only at the lower fifth rank, and Taylor's whip had been launched after gathering momentum, while he had met it in haste. Add to that facing a weapon empty-handed, and being able to block it at all was already an extraordinary performance.

"Lord Taylor, no, you can't kill him. Captain, Captain gave orders!" The pain made the muscles on the youth's face twitch slightly, yet he still did not let go of the long whip as he stammered.

It might have been better if he had not mentioned the captain. The moment Taylor heard those two words, he grew even more furious for no reason. "Don't fucking use the captain to pressure me. Get lost!" As he spoke, the radiance of battle energy flashed again over the long whip, and he suddenly shook it with force.

Pfft!

Along with a muffled grunt, Alonso instantly spat a mouthful of fresh blood. He could no longer keep hold of the long whip, and was completely blasted away by that violent force. His thin body fell several meters away, then slammed into a large wooden post, and he actually passed out cold.

"Fuck! Now even a little brat dares climb over my head!" Taylor acted as if he had done something utterly insignificant. He shook out the long whip, then spat hard onto the ground and cursed.

Seeing this fellow was actually so cruel, even treating his own accomplices like this, Liu Feng completely let go of the slightest fantasy. On top of that, no matter what, Alonso had been injured for the sake of saving him. Rage filled his heart, a cold light burst violently from his eyes, and his legs instantly kicked hard as he pounced straight at Taylor.

Liu Feng's speed was extremely fast, and Taylor's attention had just been disrupted by Alonso. He actually noticed a little too late. By the time he reacted, Liu Feng had already reached him. With a clear shout, he suddenly swung out a punch.

The light of the Crystal Core inside his body suddenly swelled, and soul power instantly poured into his arm. A wild, violent aura surged out from Liu Feng's arm in the blink of an eye, and strangely enough, faint flickers of electricity could even be seen within it.

Although, because Liu Feng had only recently entered the Soul Formation realm, he still could not use the beast soul's skills, the power of this soul power was still much stronger than when he had been in the Soul Fusion realm.

Sensing the strange aura from Liu Feng that was neither battle energy nor magic, a look of surprise flashed through Taylor's eyes. However, he showed not the slightest panic. With a cold laugh, he suddenly loosened the long whip in his hand, then swept his right hand toward his waist. A dagger flashing with cold light brought up a fierce gust of force as it met Liu Feng's fist head-on.

The dagger was extremely fast, and its angle was exceptionally tricky. In that instant, it fully displayed Taylor's formidable strength as an upper fifth-rank fighter.

In truth, Taylor had entered the upper fifth rank several years ago. After such a long period of training, he had now reached the peak of the fifth rank and was only one step away from stepping into the sixth. On this pirate ship, other than Captain Katarina, no one was his match. This was also the reason he had always been incomparably arrogant.

Seeing that the two of them had really started fighting, Cross-eyed and Dwarf could not help but exchange a glance. Aside from their surprise that Liu Feng actually possessed strength, what surfaced was a trace of helplessness and pity.

Taylor's nature was incomparably savage, and killing people at the slightest provocation was basically common for him. Although the two of them had initially taken the gold coins and thumped their chests to guarantee they would cover Liu Feng, now they could only secretly pray that this rather wealthy kid would seek his own fortune!

The light was dazzling. Sensing the bone-soaking, chilling aura on Taylor's dagger, Liu Feng sighed inwardly. He could only forcibly halt his attack, then swiftly flashed aside, dodging to the side.

He did not want to learn from Alonso and use his fist to resist a weapon.

Hiss!

Although Liu Feng dodged quickly, Taylor's dagger was even faster. Though he avoided a vital point, he was still grazed by the dagger. A sound like tearing silk rang out, and a patch of clothing on his left shoulder was instantly split open. At the same time, a wound several centimeters long was added there.

Forcing down the sharp pain, Liu Feng gave a muffled groan, and his body immediately staggered.

The fierce light in Taylor's eyes grew even stronger. With a sinister chuckle, he quickly raised his right leg and kicked down at Liu Feng.

Although his build was relatively large, as a qualified mid-level thief, Taylor's leg techniques were absolutely not much inferior to his weapons.

Sensing this powerful and ferocious kick, Liu Feng was not startled but delighted. He instantly sent soul power into both hands and met Taylor's legs head-on.

Bang! A dull sound spread out. Liu Feng's body shook violently, and he stumbled backward, thud thud thud. His face instantly turned incomparably flushed, and blood welled from the corner of his mouth.

Taylor's battle energy was far too formidable. Liu Feng's current soul power still could not contend with it.

However, Taylor did not have it easy either. Although the strength enhanced by Liu Feng's soul power was clearly much weaker than his, that special numbing attribute was absolutely formidable.

He only felt as if his right leg had been struck by a bolt of lightning. That tingling, burning sensation instantly surged from his leg through his entire body, and his movements abruptly froze. His right leg actually failed to retract quickly.

The effect of his unstable center of gravity made Taylor's body sway, and he too toppled backward.

Seeing that his objective had already succeeded, madness once again erupted in Liu Feng's eyes. With an angry shout, he completely ignored the injuries inside his body and darted forward again. Then his right hand brushed over the Space Ring on his left hand, about to take out his long spear.

Since they had already come to blows, then it could only be a fight to the death. Liu Feng would rather kill Taylor and then drown in the sea than absolutely allow himself to die like this on the pirate ship.

"Stop!" Just then, a slightly hoarse yet still sexy voice rang out.

With this voice, the deck trembled. Then two towering figures at least around three meters tall instantly appeared between Liu Feng and Taylor. Their enormous wooden bodies surged with an incomparably powerful aura—they were precisely Katarina's two Wooden Puppets.

Cursing inwardly that it was a pity, Liu Feng had no choice but to forcibly stop himself. His hand also lowered, and in the end, he did not have time to take out the long spear.

Although the Judgment Reincarnation Spear was astonishingly powerful, it was not invincible after all. Liu Feng's own soul power was still not strong, and facing these two puppets whose strength was at least mid-rank, or perhaps had even stepped into the high rank, he had not the slightest chance of winning.

"Take Alonso down for treatment!" Katarina coldly glanced at Taylor, who had just climbed up from the ground with a ferocious expression, then turned her head and said in a low voice to Liu Feng, "You, come with me!"
