"beep--"

Suddenly, a horn sounded from somewhere on the mountain.

The sound of the horn echoed among the mountains, and it was impossible to tell where it came from.

When the boatmen and sailors on the three large ships heard the horn, their faces changed drastically.

"Here they come. It's them—"

As soon as he finished speaking, figures appeared on the mountain peaks. Some stood on the peaks, while others clung to the cliffs, all watching the three passing ships.

There was a dark mass on the cliff face. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a group of bats.

Looking from the hull, it was about the size of a palm. If it really flew in front of us and spread its wings, it would probably be half a meter in size.

"Bloodthirsty bats—"

Among the team, Liu Miao was the first to recognize him.

She was a former animal trainer and was very familiar with all kinds of birds and beasts. She said quickly:

"Spread the word, let everyone be aware of the attacks of bloodthirsty bats. They love to attack people's eyes, especially when they urinate. Their urine can corrode clothing and burn skin and flesh. Be careful!"

Lin Che took two steps forward on the deck, stood on the fluttering flag, and looked out.

Looking at the peak in front of him, he circulated his Qi and shouted:

"Who is stopping my boat? Get out!"

"My sword will not kill the nameless!"

The voice of these words rolled and echoed among the mountains.

On the distant mountain, the figure of a thin man appeared.

He looked like a mountain ape, thin, but his hair was gray, and there were thick tufts of hair on both sides of his cheeks.

No one knew what kind of martial arts he was practicing. His eyes were green and his face was full of disdain.

There was also a densely packed string of animal teeth on his chest, shining brightly.

"Hahaha, here comes another bunch of damned officials seeking their own death!"

"Fisherman—how dare you bring your troops against us? All three of your ships will be sunk today. Write your suicide note!"

The "fisherman" mentioned by the monkey man was naturally one of the boatmen.

After he finished speaking, there were bursts of laughter from all over the hills. For a while, it was so loud that it was impossible to tell how many people there were.

Several boatmen were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

"This, this... Or we should just retreat quickly. Go back."

"Officials, hurry up. We are not afraid. Let's fight them together. These beasts——"

"They're coming!! Quick, hurry back to the cabin. They're coming."

Before the boatmen finished speaking, a heavy crash was heard from under the water.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The entire ship shook as something struck the bottom of the ship deep in the water.

At the same time, dense crowds of figures emerged from the mountains and valleys in all directions. They were all wearing raincoats and walked on the river as if it were flat ground.

Lin Che clenched his fist as he looked at the pirates who had taken the initiative to attack.

God Machine System!!

Activate [Military Soul]!!

"Don't hold back, kill him—"

Lin Che roared angrily, and murderous aura erupted from his body.

At this moment, the blood of these three thousand palace soldiers was boiling, and that long-lost feeling came back.

All back!

An indescribable terrifying power was injected into their bodies.

“Kill! Kill, kill!!”

Three thousand palace soldiers roared in unison, and a layer of blood-red mist suddenly appeared above the ship.

Bang——

The first person to rush out was Yu Huadian.

His figure appeared on the water surface like a ghost in an instant, and the next moment, the pirate in front fell into the water with a splash.

The headless corpse rushed forward a few steps before falling into the water.

There was no trace of blood on Yu Huadian's pale face, nor was there any emotion at all, as if what he had just chopped off was not a head, but a fruit.

Moreover, he seemed to be afraid that someone else would take his head.

Without stopping at all, a cold light flashed in his hand, and a flying needle shot out, instantly blowing out the eyes of more than a dozen people.

The other soldiers rushed in groups and in a very orderly manner.

Lin Che did not join the battle immediately. His eyes fell on the skinny ape-like man on the mountain. That man was definitely a strong man.

"Master Dao Nu—are you still not going to take action?"

"My guards are all very precious. If a few of them die here, do you think outsiders will find out and say that our mission is not good enough?"

"If we are completely wiped out, then you will be the only one left to take Chi Feiwan to Yanyun Kingdom. Oh, it's also possible that Chi Feiwan will be killed as well."

Just a few words had already caused Dao Nu's expression to change again and again.

"Humph! This is the first time and the last time!"

Dao Nu snorted coldly, and she also locked her eyes on the skinny ape-like man on the mountain.

Then, he took a step into the air.

The whole person disappeared on the spot.

The next second, he appeared directly on the top of the mountain.

Bang——

On the top of the mountain, the skinny ape-like man who was shouting just now seemed to have not reacted yet. He just felt that there was suddenly a figure in front of him.

All the pirates were shocked.

A black light flashed in Dao Nu's hand, and a blood mist exploded on the entire mountain. A large number of people were cut in half in an instant.

"ah--"

The skinny man also screamed, his legs were actually cut off.

Dao Nu grabbed the man's clothes with one hand and threw him into the river from the mountain top.

"ah!!!"

The skinny man's screams pierced the sky and he crashed heavily into the water.

If an ordinary person was thrown from such a height, they would definitely be smashed to pieces. However, this skinny man was a powerful warrior and did not actually die from the fall.

But his legs were cut off and he couldn't escape at all.

A shadow guard guarding the big ship directly picked up the dying skinny man.

Lin Che saw all of this and was shocked. This knife slave was too terrifying.

Is this the strong man responsible for protecting His Majesty's safety?

Dealing with these water bandits is simply a dimensionality reduction attack!

“Old man!”

Lin Che saw the Shadow Guards pull the skinny ape man onto the boat. He took two steps forward and asked condescendingly:

"Weren't you very arrogant just now? Why aren't you yelling anymore?"

The skinny man's face was pale and bloodless. He forced himself to use his strength to stop the bleeding from his legs.

He also knew that he had kicked the steel plate.

I didn’t expect that the people who came to suppress the bandits this time were so terrifying.

"You, you, who are you?"

“I’m the Champion Marquis—Lin Che!!”

Lin Che admitted it without fear. This identity couldn't be hidden anyway.

"If you want revenge, just go to the Zhenguo Mansion. No matter what means you use, the Zhenguo Mansion will accept it—"

"Someone, hang him up and show those pirates. This is what happens to them!"
