Miracle Throne

Chapter 208: Mysterious pirates

As the dawn approached, the light blue sky still had a few stars left in it. There was a layer of fog on the lake, that looked like a fine layer of silver gauze over the water. The rosy red clouds filled the horizon, making it looked like it was soaked in blood, dying it a light red colour.

The five warships advanced at a steady pace.

After around half an hour, the five warships entered into the special area where there really was no wind at all. If the warships were not advanced and had prepared Wind Gathering Sails, then it would not be able to move at all.

Meng Yingying had a can of heated food in her hand as she gave a yawn while walking up to the deck. Taking a deep, cold breath, when they passed by the light fog, she could see the outlines of a few islands in front of them.

“Wa!”

“So many ships!”

Meng Yingying let out a surprised cry.

There were many ancient ships stopped on the tranquil lake. There were merchant ships, civilian ships, and military ships of all sizes and different shapes. There were some ships that were quite old, with even the wood and iron on the ships rotting away. It was estimated that they had been there over a hundred years.

Where did these ships come from?

They might have come from being blown here by storms, people wandering in, or they could have be forcefully dragged here.

These normal large ships entering this area with no wind could not leave, rotting away in these waters.

But there were too many of them here. Just from a simple glance, she could make out over a hundred ships. Just how many ships were in this area?

The sound of a horn came from in front of her.

Meng Yingying rubbed her eyes and stared hard into the fog in front of her. When her eyes passed through the fog, she saw seven-eight large black battleships that were neatly organized in a row, creating a blockade as they slowly approached the warships.

These black shapes seemed to be specially made, so they could move in places without any wind just like the warships.

Dang!

The alarms of the warships were sounded!

“There is something happening!”

The soldiers ran out of the cabins and they pulled out the crossbow carts. With the ballistas prepared, they were ready to fight. As this was the most advanced warship of the Southern Summer Country, so it’s on board equipment was not lacking.

In addition to the armoured crossbow carts, there were also slots for shooting on the sides of the ship. Each ship had over sixty heavy crossbows, with each of them using arrows that were two meters long. They used high energy crystal stones to shoot, so they had a range of two thousand meters.

This kind of arrows were expensive to make because they did not depend on penetrating might to kill enemies, but rather the explosions from the crystal stones themselves.

For these ordinary medium sized ships, twelve arrows were enough to sink them!

“Ha, ha, ha, ha......So bold!”

“It has been many year since anyone dared to charge into the lake gods’ territory!”

“Since you’ve dared to come in, then have a taste of Giant Shark Gang’s might!”

Chu tian felt they strange circumstances, so he came out onto the deck to take a look.

Nangong Yun and Meng Yingying were pleasantly surprised, “Chu Tian, you came right on time! We’ve encountered pirates!”

“Pirates?” Chu Tian looked at the ten black ships in front of them, “This scale is quite big, there are two-three thousand pirates here alone!”

“This marquis never thought it would be like this.” A terrifying spirit energy gathered around the Divine Wind Marquis as he calmly said, “I never thought there would be this kind of terrifying power in my Southern Summer Country!”

The Divine Wind Marquis’ voice was not loud, but it reached the enemy’s ears.

This Giant Shark Gang had sent ten battleships out. Although the ships weren’t big, the deck was filled with people, having a total of around two-three thousand people!

These people were wearing barbaric and crude looking clothes which made them look like unprincipled savages.

“Go!”

“Their ship is pretty good!”

“We’ll treat them as an offering to the lake gods!”

“Everyone go, don’t break their ships!”

The pirate’s ships gave a loud battle horn. Several hundred pirates carrying weapons and hooks jumped into the lake.

Everyone was shocked.

Why did they jump into the water?

Every one of them was wearing heavy armour and equipment!

A stunning scene appeared in front of them. The pirates did not sink into the water, but rather their feet landed right on the water. A surging wave suddenly appeared on the calm lake and they rode the wave, quickly encircling the warships.

“This is a little interesting. They’ve cultivated quite a strange cultivation technique!”

Chu Tian knew that the pirates being able to ride the water like this meant they had a special cultivation technique. This Giant Shark Gang seemed to have quite an uncommon inheritance.

“Kill!”

The pirates surfed over the waves in an aggressive manner, their hooks prepared to be thrown onto the side of the ships. In the end, the pirates did not even have time to come close before the five warships launched a wave of arrows!

“Ah!”

“I’ve been hit by an arrow!”

“Come shield me!”

What the pirates met were the most elite troop of Central State City. Could their motley crew plunder this kind of target? They were instantly shot down!

“Damn!”

“For the lake gods!”

“For the Giant Shark Gang!”

The pirates gave a loud roar and many people released their source spirits. All of them had the same giant shark source spirit. Their speed increased several times as they deflected the arrows and charged forward.

Yi?

These pirates did not have weak cultivations!

Because only peak 9th Layer Body Refinement could summon source spirits!

These pirates had 60-70% of a normal Awakened Soul Cultivator’s might, with one in ten being an expert of the peak 9th Body Refinement Layer!

At this moment!

A vast as the sea amout of spirit energy erupted.

The Divine Wind Marquis jumped into the air from the deck. With a few leaps, he instantly charged out several thousand meters, creating a sound that was like the air being ripped apart. Where the Divine Wind Marquis flew, the mirror like lake was quickly split in half. The pirates lost their balance and fell into the water.

The Divine Wind Marquis’ hands went in the air and a giant blue wind blade appeared in his hands!

Just like a dart, it slashed everything in its way!

Pa, pa, pa, pa!

With ten clear slashing sounds!

The pirate ships masts were all neatly cut in half!

At this moment, the Divine Wind Marquis’ power poured out, surrounding the entire lake like blue dragons, blocking off every escape route. Thirty-forty meter wide and one hundred meters tall tornadoes formed in an instant.

The masts fell onto the deck, smashing the pirates standing there.

Without any time to respond, the pirate ships were tipped over by the strong winds.

“This is bad!

“Retreat! Retreat!”

The Divine Wind Marquis was too fast. First he sliced off the masts of the ten ships and then generated these destructive giant tornadoes.

“No!”

“The storm is coming!”

“Quickly! Jump into the water!”

The tornado slammed into the first ship and the terrifying force overturned it. It went to the second ship and overturned it without any hesitation. The third ship, fourth ship......tenth ship!

A total of ten ships were overturned in a matter of seconds. Countless people gave pitiful cries as they flew into the sky and fell down into the water like rain.

The calm lake was disrupted by a strong wave, this was a chaotic scene!

Meng Yingying was shocked, “These ships must weigh several tons, but they were all overturned by the marquis in an instant! What kind of power is this!”

Even the soldiers were all shocked!

Even if it was a strong Illustrious Soul expert, they would only be able to create a hole with their full strength attack. With the Divine Wind Marquis’ strength, he overturned ten ships all weighing several tons!

What kind of strength was this?

He really was the strongest person in Central State!

The violent storm wreaked havoc. Even though they were far away, Chu Tian’s group could still feel the waves generated on the water. Finally, wherever the blue tornadoes went, the ships were all shattered to pieces, as the pirates fled in all directions.

Meng Yingying said, “These fellows look like they’re about to drown!”

Chu Tian gave a slight nod, but he did not say anything. He suddenly found something strange. Even though the ships had been shattered to pieces, there were countless pieces of wood floating on the surface of the water. Normally for people falling in water, they would try to find something that was floating, especially in this kind of situation.

Chu Tian was very shocked.

The pirates did not grab the wood fragments, but rather they all dived into the ocean. The people on the ships also threw away their weapons before diving in the ocean, disappearing into the depths of the water.

Several thousand people!

They all disappeared into the water!

The blood of the injured pirates appeared in the water. It was actually purple in colour, completely different from normal people.

The Divine Wind Marquis also saw this strange scene and stopped his violent storm. Before he had time to look over this phenomenon, a terrifying loud roar came from in front of him!

“What expert is intruding on my Giant Shark Gang’s territory!”

“Are you not afraid of angering the lake gods?!”

A loud voice rang out with a clear and strong sound, overshadowing the sound of the waves.

Chen Bingyu was not interested at all, but she opened her eyes in this moment and a confused look flashed in her eyes, “These pirates actually have a True Soul expert!”

Impossible!

Everyone was shocked!

There were only a few True Soul experts in Central State!

If it really was a True Soul expert, why was he willing to become a pirate? No matter where he went in the Southern Summer Country, he would be someone respected by ten thousand people!

A robust man came on the waves, wielding a trident on his back. His hair was very wild and he had a beard covering his entire face. His chest was wide open, revealing his water blue skin. He looked just like a barbarian!

“Fifth master!”

“Fifth master is here to save us!”

When the True Soul Realm robust man appeared, the pirates that disappeared into the water popped out one after the other. These fellows did not drown to death, but rather they were hiding underwater.

Nangong Yun had a face filled with shock, “I thought they had all died, but it seems like they’re still alive. However, how could they last so long without taking a breath?”

Feng Caidie revealed a frown, “Could the Giant Shark Gang have all practiced a turtle resting cultivation technique? That way they wouldn’t have to take a breath for a long time!”

“It’s not a cultivation technique, it’s something to do with their bodies.” Chu Tian finally obtained some clues and his lips curled into a faint smile, “No wonder they were able to rampage in the Four States Lake for so long without being exterminated! It looks like things are getting interesting. Nangong, help me prepare some things, I need to confirm something. If my guesses are correct, then these fellows have a large value.”
