The leader, wielding a superior-grade sword-shaped artifact, charged towards Chen Ping with a furious expression. Clearly, he wouldn't let Chen Ping, this troublemaker, get away with it.
Just after deflecting the combined attack of the second and third leaders, Chen Ping saw the hideous leader charging directly at him, his broadsword glowing faintly red. Without a doubt, it was some kind of divine magic.
Just as Chen Ping was about to make a move, he saw Uncle Chen suddenly kick the second-in-command away and then appear beside him with a red stick in his hand.
Uncle Chen: "Brother Chen Ping, leave the leader to me. You're only at the late stage of the main god realm, so you should be able to hold off the second and third leaders for a while. Once I've dealt with things here, I'll come and assist you."
After saying that, Uncle Chen immediately went to meet him. The red stick collided fiercely with the chief's broadsword, and instantly, a huge aftershock spread outward.
Plop!!!
The pirate sailors and Bai family guards who were nearby were all knocked down by the sudden aftershock.
Chen Ping glanced at him and realized that Chen Bo's strength was above that of the leader, but he couldn't win for a while. Although both were at the peak of the main god level, Chen Bo was from the Bai family after all, and his equipment, weapons, and cultivation techniques were much better than those of the leader.
Chen Ping nodded, glanced at Uncle Chen, and then turned back to the fierce battle with the second and third leaders.
The fishing rod in his hand transformed into a slender sword, its tip shimmering with a faint silver light. Each swing of the sword perfectly neutralized the attacks of the second and third leaders, while he also launched counterattacks from time to time, keeping them busy and exhausted.
Under Bai Enling's command, the guards on the Bai family's merchant ship had suppressed most of the pirates. Some of the weaker pirates were defeated one by one, and the remaining pirates gradually lost their ability to resist under the combined attack of the Bai family's guards and Bai Enling.
Meanwhile, the duel between Uncle Chen and the bandit leader was exceptionally fierce. Each clash of staff and blade generated a powerful shockwave, distorting and deforming the surrounding seawater, even creating a brief vacuum. Relying on his profound knowledge and rich combat experience, Uncle Chen steadily gained the upper hand, gradually weakening the bandit leader's offensive power.
Seeing that the situation was settled, Chen Ping seized the opportunity to use a wide-range binding spell to trap the second and third leaders. Then, he slit the throat with his sword, instantly ending the life of the second leader. The third leader turned pale and tried to escape, but Chen Ping easily caught up with him and slashed him into the sea with his sword.
The sound of the boat hitting the water was masked by the formation of the boats. However, as the boats sailed away, a large amount of blood gushed out from where the third leader had fallen into the water, but soon there was no more movement.
Suddenly, many dark shadows appeared and began to roam beneath the water's surface.
......
After clashing with Uncle Chen, the leader immediately retreated using the force of the impact. Uncle Chen did not pursue him but returned to Bai Enling's side, as protecting the young master was his primary responsibility.
The leader glanced at the second-in-command's corpse with a dark expression, then looked at the pirate crew members around him who were now completely at a disadvantage. His face grew increasingly grim.
Looking at Bai Enling, who seemed to have victory in her grasp, the leader gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! Very well!"
After saying that, the leader suddenly produced a signal flare and immediately released it.
Although Bai Enling, Uncle Chen, and the others saw it, they couldn't stop it. After all, the Boss was a peak-level God. Although they couldn't beat Uncle Chen, they could still stop him.
Bang bang bang!!
A huge explosion rang out over the sea, followed by a firework shaped like a bird's head. Clearly, this was a signal flare belonging to some kind of faction.
Upon seeing this, Bai Enling and Chen Ping's faces darkened.
Bai Enling: "Uncle Chen, Chen Ping, we need to leave quickly, otherwise if this unknown force comes, we may really fail."
Chen Ping and Uncle Chen exchanged a quick glance, both seeing urgency and determination in each other's eyes. Chen Ping nodded in agreement, saying, "Bai Enling is right. We must evacuate as soon as possible, and at the same time, we must prepare for defense. The arrival of unknown forces may bring even greater uncertainties."
Uncle Chen nodded in agreement. In the current situation, they had just defeated the Nora pirates who were being used as cannon fodder. Not only were the guards injured to varying degrees, but they had also consumed a lot of their divine power. Although the divine power content in the core sea area was sufficient, it would not be able to recover in a short time.
Uncle Chen stared at the chief, while Bai Enling ordered all the guards to retreat back to the merchant ship. A few minutes later, everyone jumped back onto the merchant ship.
Chen Ping: "Uncle Chen, that's enough, it's time to go."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Chen nodded slightly. Looking at the fierce-looking leader opposite him, he suddenly unleashed a divine spell, blocking the leader's view, and then quickly jumped back onto the merchant ship.
Bai Enling, who had been keeping an eye on Chen Bo, immediately accelerated. In an instant, the huge merchant ship sped forward, leaving the pirate ship behind.
Although the leader had a dark expression, he did not stop the Bai family's merchant ship from leaving, because he had already realized that his forces were clearly being used as cannon fodder. However, he still thought about the reward offered by the other party.
I don't think this is unacceptable, since his power will only become stronger after he breaks through to the God King level.
The leader: "Chase after them! Don't lose them."
Upon hearing this, the remaining pirate crew members looked at each other, reluctantly but with no choice but to quickly start their ships and give chase.
......
On the deck of a giant ship that was moving silently across the sea, a figure looked at the signal in the distance and couldn't help but curse.
"Useless! As expected, this kind of small force is completely unreliable. How long has it been? And they've already sent a signal?"
Another figure asked curiously, "Wasn't their leader a peak God-level being? How could he be defeated so quickly? Did the God-King intervene?"
"Hmm, that's probably impossible. The old man beside the eldest young master of the Bai family is also a peak-level God. Hmm, maybe something unexpected has happened."
"So what should we do? Go on, or give up?"
The two chatted for a while and finally decided to give up. After all, the Bai family's merchant ships had just fought a battle with the Nora pirates, and now they should be at their weakest. It would be a pity to give up like this.
Of course, the most important thing is that if they go back like this, they won't be able to explain it when they get back.
They don't want to be punished.
As the ship started, a huge vessel instantly appeared and then sped towards the Bai family's merchant ship.
