Chapter 635 - 344: First Golden Pattern Fusion, Tricked by Gongyang Jue!

Earlier, elder brother Baili Feng proposed a plan for Baili Hongtang and Su Mu to create an opportunity for him, but the battlefield changes rapidly; now it is Baili Feng who has created an opportunity for the two.

After Baili Feng charged alone into the Jiao Blood Gang’s warship, for some reason, the sea pirates, Quan Feng from the Xuan Snake Gang and Gongsun Liang from the Black Water Gang, became anxious.

Second sister over there can hold off Quan Feng, keeping him from helping the other two.

Previously, Su Mu was troubled about how to lure out Gongsun Liang, because, unless absolutely necessary, he couldn’t reveal the Fire Sparrow Wings; otherwise, once Wang Chan’s identity is exposed, Su Mu could leave without any issue, but the Cyan Fish Gang would surely be implicated.

Without using the Fire Sparrow Wings, if this person remains on the pirate ship, he would first use the long-range equipment on the warship to completely sink the three warships including the Cyan Fish, and then take action.

By then, even if this battle were won, the cost would be extremely severe; few disciples of the Cyan Fish Gang onboard would survive.

But the problem was resolved, Gongsun Liang was so eager that he proactively charged into the Cyan Fish, afraid of others stealing the prize.

As for that phrase often used by Guan Yu, ’Chicken and dogs’, it was meant to better anger the opponent, to bring about their demise by driving them mad.

Sure enough...

The killing power of the phrase ’Chicken and dogs’ was astonishing. Gongsun Liang paused, showing a look of disbelief; how many years had it been since anyone dared to be so arrogant in front of him? After his brief stupor, Gongsun Liang’s fierce gaze fell upon Su Mu, instinctively becoming very alert.

"Could it be..."

In the first instant, Gongsun Liang thought of the unseen Sikong Li, wondering if besides the Baili siblings, a strong figure from the Cyan Fish Gang had joined in this time?

When his gaze fell upon Su Mu’s face, which was in the early twenties and unfamiliar, he froze again, his expression turning utterly gloomy like a thick cloud brewing a thunderstorm. Feeling Gongsun Liang about to go berserk, even the sea pirates from the Black Water Gang all changed their expressions and quickly kept their distance.

They looked at Su Mu with a gaze that held a trace of commendable courage, but was cold as if looking at a corpse!

At this moment, even the disciples of the Cyan Fish Gang were secretly swallowing; the demise of the three from Qin Shu was vivid in their minds. Among them, no one was probably a match for Gongsun Liang; each of the thirteen great pirates was notorious for a reason!

"I, Gongsun Liang, do not kill nameless people, who are you?"

Gongsun Liang stared hard at Su Mu, his voice low and suppressed like a raging bear.

"Personal guard of Gongyang Jue."

"Gongyang Jue?" Upon hearing this name, Gongsun Liang’s eagle-like eyes narrowed slightly, his expression fluctuating, "You are his man, did he send you?"

"That’s right."

Gongsun Liang’s gaze lingered on Su Mu for a moment, not sensing any threat from the youngster before him. He then scanned the people of the Cyan Fish Gang, confirming he couldn’t perceive any sign of the old trickster’s aura, revealing a menacing glimmer.

Su Mu observed all the subtle expressions of Gongsun Liang, his eyes growing colder; it was indeed Gongyang Jue, that old thief, behind the scenes. Before leaving Donglai County, this revenge must be avenged!

Woosh!

Su Mu’s lips parted slightly, as the surrounding air streamed into his lungs like a river flowing into the sea. His flesh and blood moved rapidly, shadows of five profound demons swiftly passed around him; every inch of his flesh suddenly became scorching hot, like red-hot iron ingots.

Profound Demon Five Transformations: Limit Break!

The dragon-elephant pattern on his shoulder and back quietly activated in an instant, Su Mu’s hand, with four immortal lines, rested upon the handle of the Black Wolf Saber at his waist.

"Buzz!"

A sharp aura surged within the scabbard, the blade trembled, producing a buzzing sound. Instantly, within a fraction of a breath, Su Mu suddenly drew the saber.

"Screech!"

The blade scraped against the sheath, emitting a piercing blade sound; no flashy saber technique, the saber light sliced through the sky like a line of sea and sky.

"Good, very good..."

Gongsun Liang, incredibly angry, laughed instead, either enraged by Su Mu being Gongyang Jue’s man or by Su Mu daring to strike first. But his loud laughter abruptly ceased.

His scalp tingling, Gongsun Liang’s eyelid twitched violently, the instinct from years of killing responded in that instant, his wolf fang club positioned horizontally before his chest, its inscriptions instantly activated. Surging qi blood and martial force fused, forming two barriers in front of him.

"Puff—!"

The saber light swiftly and lightly fell on Gongsun Liang’s two lines of defense at the surface, those formidable barriers sliced like a blade through watermelon, then that seemingly inconspicuous attack further hit the massive, fierce wolf fang club.

No sound of metal clashing, only a ’screech’; everyone saw Gongsun Liang’s figure retreat explosively, then with a ’clang,’ a few steel nails from the wolf fang club fell to the ground, its glittering thorns easily pierced into the unprotected deck, showcasing their sharpness.

One strike forced Gongsun Liang to retreat!

This scene stunned both sides, the Black Water Gang and the Cyan Fish Gang; initially, the disciples of the Cyan Fish Gang harbored a resolve to die, only hoping Su Mu could hold off Gongsun Liang for a little while, placing all hopes on the Young Master.

They hoped that the Young Master, nearing the Half-Step Third Grade, could quickly defeat Zong Buhui and turn back to deal with these pirates, willing to drag on for as long as they could to help the Young Master leave more pirates for him to avenge.

Yet the next moment made everyone’s pupils constrict.

The foot stomping fiercely, Gongsun Liang who retreated three steps in succession, his forehead spattered with blood light, a piece of hair connected to the scalp blew away gently with the sea breeze.
