Chapter 264: Pirates’ Attack

In Xu Xiang’s original world, any sane human would never go out to sea to courting death, because most aquatic life has evolved into monsters due to chemical pollution. So when she saw the blue and clear sea in this world, she couldn’t help but imagine what her world would be like if she could change the fate of the world.

Will there be such a beautiful sea in her world too? Can she live a normal life without worrying about death every day?

Xiao Shao stared at her and found that although she looked at the sea, she didn’t seem to see the scenery in front of her eyes. Seeing her like this, he suddenly felt that she was going to disappear from his world. Subconsciously, he reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Xu Xiang was taken aback by his sudden action, and asked in confusion: "Young Master Xiao, what’s wrong?"

Realizing what he did just now, Xiao Shao quickly let go of his hand and said in a panic: "I... I’m sorry. I don’t mean to be disrespectful."

Looking at his blushing face, Xu Xiang smiled and said, "It’s alright. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Seeing that she wasn’t angry, Xiao Shao heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I saw you standing here alone, so I came here to accompany you."

"Thank you. There is nothing to do here, so I come out to get some fresh air." Xu Xiang said, while looking at the busy crew.

Xiao Shao looked at her and said, "If nothing happens, it will only take about eighteen to twenty days for us to reach the Qin Kingdom."

Xu Xiang nodded and said, "I hope nothing happened along the way."

Xiao Shao smiled and said, "Mhm, me too."

Unfortunately, most of the time, the things we least want to happen will always happen. Two days later, at midnight when everyone was sleeping, the boat suddenly shook violently. It didn’t take long before the shouts of the crew members were heard from outside.

"It’s the pirates! Take up your weapon!"

"Take care of the items!"

"Guard the storage!"

In the passenger cabin, Xu Xiang woke up the moment the ship shook violently. When she opened the door, Mu Yucheng had already stood there with his hand raised, wanting to knock on her door.

He looked at her and asked, "Are you alright?"

Xu Xiang nodded to him and said, "I’m fine. Let’s go out and have a look."

The two of them walked quickly towards the deck, and met Xiao Shao, Hu Wenfeng and Huan Yun on the way. They looked at each other for a moment, and rushed towards the deck tacitly.

When they reached the deck, Ying Yi had already led the hidden guards to fight the pirates. The violent shake they felt before was because the pirate’s ship hit the merchant ship. The pirates built a simple bridge between the two ships using wooden planks to board the merchant ship.

Thud!

Xu Xiang heard a voice coming from behind her, and when she looked back, the merchant had already fallen to the ground with a pale face, and his whole body was trembling.

Pointing to the flag on the pirate ship with a trembling finger, the merchant shouted, "It’s the Ghost Pirate!"

When Xu Xiang heard the merchant call out the pirate’s name, she could sense deep fear in his trembling voice. Before she could tell the merchant to hide, the pirates noticed her and Huan Yun.

One of the pirates rushed over and said, "There are women here! Take them alive and bring them back!"

As soon as these words fell, except for Huan Yun, the expressions of the other four people all sank. Xu Xiang glanced at Huan Yun and said, "Take the merchant back to his room."

There is really nothing she could do by staying here, so Huan Yun nodded, and quickly pulled the merchant up from the ground.

"Quick, stand up! Let’s hide first!" Huan Yun said while half dragged the merchant towards the stateroom area.

After Huan Yun left with the merchant, Xu Xiang took out her daggers from space. Before she could parry the pirate’s sword with her daggers, Mu Yucheng sent the pirate flying with a kick.

He glanced at her and said, "Miss Xu, please stay here to guard the door."

Xu Xiang nodded to him and stood in front of the door leading to the stateroom area. After confirming that she would be safe staying here, Mu Yucheng also joined the battle. With Xiao Shao, Hu Wenfeng, and Mu Yucheng joining the battle, it didn’t take long for them and the hidden guards to subdue all the pirates.

Seeing that more than half of their members died, and the rest were captured, the captain of the pirates shouted: "Retreat!"

Ying Yi, who was fighting not far from the bridge made of wooden plank, heard what the captain said. Before Xiao Shao gave an order, he destroyed the wooden plank with his internal energy.

Crack!

Seeing Ying Yi destroy the bridge, the captain of the pirates cursed. He gritted his teeth, then turned around and jumped towards the pirate ship. With his martial arts, it is not difficult to jump back to the pirate ship, but it is not easy for the other pirates to do so.

Knowing that they were abandoned, the pirates were not only not angry, but their morale increased greatly. One of them raised his sword and shouted: "Kill them!"

With no way to retreat, the pirates became even more unscrupulous, and it became more difficult for Xiao Shao and others to defend against the pirates’ attacks. Although the pirates’ martial arts are not high, they attack with the mentality of dying together with their enemies, and they have more people.

Seeing the situation getting dangerous, Mu Yucheng circulated his spiritual energy and formed a hand seal. In the next second, a blue formation appeared above Mu Yucheng’s head. With a flick of his fingers, countless shadow swords emerged from the formation and rained down on the pirates.
