Chapter 618 - 336: 100-Meter Warship, Immortal Golden Spots! (Part 3)

"Chi!"

The flesh and blood erupted with the screeching sound of clashing metal, as the sword momentum encountered powerful resistance, as if it were piercing through hard metal.

Upon seeing this, Su Mu’s eyes brightened, as he continued to increase the power of Vast Qi and sword momentum.

The surrounding skin bent and caved under the sword momentum, spilling splashes of blood, yet that one golden spot remained firm, as if it were not part of the body.

"Ka-cha!"

At a certain moment, the golden spot was shattered by the sword momentum after Su Mu channeled Gang Force, emitting a sound more like metal breaking than flesh tearing.

"So strong... just one golden spot can probably rival the defense of a Fifth-Grade Dharma Artifact."

Su Mu was overjoyed at the sight; this was just one embryonic Immortal Golden Spot cultivated during the entry-level Immortal Body stage. Imagine when these spots grow, connect into a web, and eventually cover every inch of skin and flesh!

Imagine reaching such a realm, how powerful it would be.

It could truly be worthy of the Immortal Body!

The warship was steady, life in the cabin was no different from Tang Yuan, with meals delivered, and many envied the Second Young Miss for such favor to a subordinate.

Time flew by, and it was dawn two days later, as the first morning sun broke over the sea, a horn shattered the tranquility.

"Something’s up!"

"A ship spotted to the southeast!"

Lookouts stationed on deck and mast, on guard day and night, quickly issued a warning. The moment the horn sounded, everyone perked up, many with fists clenched eagerly.

Su Mu exhaled lightly, the eighth Immortal Golden Spot on his body dispersed, and he immediately got up and stepped out.

"What size?"

Just in time to hear his elder brother Baili Feng ask the scout; the lookout’s remarkable eyesight pierced through the morning mist, quickly reporting the information.

"Two ships, one about seven zhang long, the other slightly smaller, about six zhang in size, no markings on the flags, likely River Bandits!"

To ensure maneuverability and storage, a ship seven zhang long could hold under a hundred people, while a six zhang ship could hold even fewer, combined, it was about a hundred fifty or sixty.

Upon hearing this, Baili Feng’s eyes turned cold, and he immediately made his deployment, "Both ships encircle one, release four swift boats first, dispatch eighty elites to board. If they’re River Bandits or resist, wipe them out!"

"Yes!"

Everyone took orders, moving quickly, and the signalman on the mast waved flags to convey commands.

"Second Young Miss, I’m going too!"

Finally encountering another group, Su Mu wanted to stretch his muscles after days of cultivation, and also see how the Cyan Fish Gang fought River Bandits at sea.

Baili Hongtang did not hesitate much; this was not yet River Bandit territory, and besides, her third brother’s strength was extremely formidable.

"Alright, you board quickly."

The four escort boats slowly opened side gates, and the elite disciples of the Cyan Fish Gang lowered two-zhang small boats, each without supplies, used only for temporary combat, holding twenty people each.

Meanwhile, disciples on the Cyan Fish and the main escort ship began to load heavy bolts, fire stones, and trebuchets. In this era, the use of gunpowder hadn’t reached firearms, so these devices were the main assault weapons.

Naval combat generally divided into three scenarios; the first, when the enemy was weak or intentions unclear, they deployed swift boats to approach, boarding for close combat if hostile, capturing the ship after defeating all onboard.

The second scenario involved large-scale long-range sieging with devices.

The final strategy, akin to an unavoidable all-in clash, involved direct ramming with the ship to ensure mutual destruction—a tactic used when absolutely necessary or when overwhelmingly superior.

Su Mu quickly leapt onto a swift boat.

"You look unfamiliar, are you new here?"

A Cyan Flood Dragon Hall disciple on the swift boat eyed Su Mu suspiciously, noticing his unfamiliarity, and asked.

"Yes, I’m Tang San, Second Young Miss’s bodyguard."

"Stick close and try not to act alone, stay safe!"
