Chapter 1128 Trapped in a Dire Situation
Pei Qiyin was also pondering this matter when she heard the sound of rushing water and suddenly exclaimed.
"They must have come from the Yantong River. Many pirate ships have come in from the coast."
"Isn't this going to surround Los Angeles?"
"I guess that's what they're planning, and they're already putting it into practice."
Qiao Jushan said impatiently, "Captain, let me go and wipe them out."
Pei Qiyin hesitated for a moment. This direction was blocking their way. If they wanted to go around it, they would probably deviate from the path. If they got lost, they would take a lot of unnecessary detours.
Thirty people shouldn't be too difficult to manage.
I listened carefully, but there was nothing else unusual in the surroundings, near or far.
"Alright, the three of us will split into three groups, observe the mountain's movements, and then act simultaneously, minimizing any disturbances."
She meant that she didn't intend to use firearms or melee weapons.
The other two understood, nodded in unison, and began to move quietly to the left and right.
Pei Qiyin continued forward, slowly approaching the group of pirates.
When you are about seven or eight steps away from the campfire, stop and gently pull out the three-edged dagger.
Having worked as an assassin for many years, this kind of assassination was not difficult for Pei Qiyin.
They lay low quietly, waiting for Qiao Jushan to make his move.
The pirates, unaware of the impending danger, continued to chat and laugh, some even drinking from wine jugs, completely oblivious to their impending death.
Qiao Jushan had already reached a dozen steps from the campfire when he suddenly stood up, pushed off with his feet, and his massive body soared into the air. He raised his iron rod high, drew an arc in the air, and quietly brought it down on the heads of several pirates huddled together.
At the same time, Pei Qiyin saw the giant beast descending from the darkness and immediately rushed forward, her three-edged dagger flicking like a snake's tongue.
Almost a second later, Ye Liangcai's steel blade whistled as it slashed horizontally.
Three people, three directions. Qiao Jushan's iron rod smashed into two heads at once, causing blood to burst in the firelight, like two smashed watermelons.
Before the sound could be heard, Pei Qiyin's spike had already been pulled from the body of one pirate and was now aimed at another.
As Ye Liangcai's steel blade swept across, it lifted two enormous heads, sending them flying into the air.
The sound of a head cracking echoed through the night, immediately startling the pirates, who jumped up from the ground like flies in a frenzy.
In the short time it took for him to jump up from the ground, Qiao Jushan's iron rod swept across again, sending the two pirates flying like rabbits falling into the grass, hitting the ground and disappearing without a sound.
Ye Liangcai was not to be outdone. He swept and slashed with his steel blade, cutting down two pirates who had just jumped up from the ground.
However, Pei Qiyin was still a step ahead, because the three-edged dagger was very easy to use from piercing the pirate's body to pulling it out.
As the two of them each killed four pirates, Pei Qiyin had already pulled the triangular dagger out of the back of the seventh pirate's chest.
In the blink of an eye, half of the thirty pirates had fallen. The remaining pirates drew their straight swords, held them horizontally in front of them, and looked at the three devils in the shadows with suspicion and uncertainty.
After a brief pause, four or five more fell to the ground, and the rest howled as they raised their knives to strike.
After all, Ye Liangcai was a little slow and was entangled by the two pirates who had reacted. Their steel blades clashed together, making a clanging sound.
The shouts of "Hah!" from the pirates carried far into the darkness.
Pei Qiyin thrust her dagger at one of the pirates in front of her. Seeing that Ye Liangcai was entangled in a battle with three pirates, she casually flung out her triangular dagger, which struck one of the pirates in the back.
As for the other two pirates, one was smashed to pieces by Qiao Jushan with a single blow, and the last one was beheaded by Ye Liangcai with a single stroke.
Only Qiao Jushan remained calm and composed, while Pei Qiyin and Ye Liangcai were both rather gruff.
"Pack your things and leave immediately."
Before Pei Qiyin could calm down, she quickly picked up her three-edged dagger, wiped it clean on the pirate's body, and turned to run into the darkness.
The three disappeared one after another into the field.
The commotion they made during their battle was heard by another group of pirates, who realized something was wrong and quickly alerted nearby pirate squads.
The message was transmitted via a special whistle.
Soon, the scattered pirate squads began to form an encirclement, circling towards the three of them.
The three men moved nimbly and ran quite fast, but there were too many pirates; no fewer than several thousand men and horses disembarked from the ships.
Once their whereabouts were exposed, they were quickly surrounded.
If encountered by any group of pirates, escape would be difficult.
These pirates were not loose bandits, but an organized and disciplined army. They quickly formed a unified deployment and adopted an encirclement formation.
Pei Qiyin led the two of them on a fast run for a while, then realized something was wrong. There was something unusual ahead, and judging from the sounds, there must be a pirate squad appearing.
She beckoned the two to stop, bent down to observe the surroundings, and then looked for a way out.
To her disappointment, it seemed that there were skilled trackers in the pirate group who quickly pinpointed their general direction by following their somehow exposed trails.
The encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, and the sounds from all around were becoming clearer and clearer.
Pei Qiyin knew there was no other way but to force her way out. However, she was no faster than the pirates and would still be surrounded by them until she died in battle.
“Jushan, you’re fast. We’ll lure the pirates away, and you can run over there.”
Judging from the three's physiques, Qiao Jushan, with his enormous size, should have been the slowest. However, Qiao Jushan was exceptionally talented and made the fastest progress in his cultivation techniques.
Therefore, his agility is actually the highest.
Qiao Jushan grinned, then shook his head, indicating that he wasn't leaving.
"Lead them away. It doesn't matter how fast or slow you run. You go, I'll go and fight them."
He confidently lifted the huge iron rod in his hand.
"Follow orders!"
Pei Qiyin said sternly in a low voice.
Qiao Jushan stubbornly shook his head, no longer speaking or moving.
Pei Qiyin had no other choice but to turn and look at Ye Liangcai.
Ye Liangcai turned his head to look elsewhere, refusing to meet Pei Qiyin's gaze.
Pei Qiyin said angrily, "Anyway, we can't find the prince, so let's just die here. Killing one is enough, killing two is a bonus."
Faced with swarms of pirate squads everywhere, even the most skilled warriors could not escape alive.
Ye Liangcai said calmly.
“Let’s split up and see who’s lucky enough to break through and continue searching for the prince. That way, he’ll know why we left first and he can avenge us.”
Qiao Jushan nodded vigorously: "Yes."
Pei Qiyin frowned and glanced at the surrounding darkness.
"That's right, you two. It's time to test your luck. Good luck."
The three exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously, staring intently at each other as if trying to etch each other's images into their hearts. Long-time battlefield comrades had developed a deep dependence on one another, as sincere as family.
"I'll count to three, and then we'll get started."
Pei Qiyin said through gritted teeth.
"it is good.
The two of them uttered the same word at the same time.
Pei Qiyin took a deep breath: "One, two..."
Before she could utter her three words, she suddenly saw a burst of fire in the northeast direction, followed by a loud bang.
"This is..."
The other two also stared in surprise, their eyes widening as they turned to look into the distance.
