"Hold on!"
Seeing the pirate captain raise the horn again, Zhu Zhi quickly shouted to stop him!
The others on the central island's ship also cursed Zhang Yang.
"You useless fool, the Great Elder was about to negotiate with them, and you tried to sneak attack them at this crucial moment. Are you trying to get us all killed?"
"Damn it, you're a rotten apple! We're all going to be dragged down by you! Quickly kneel and beg for the pirate captain's forgiveness!"
Ming Longjun was also taken aback by Zhang Yang's actions.
However.
They did not blame Zhang Yang. Instead, they cursed back at those who were scolding him!
"Where is your backbone? Have you lost it to the pirates? We are descendants of the Ming King, how can we lose our courage as soon as we leave the central island? If that's the case, why did you even come out?"
"You are all experts at the Hunyuan realm, yet you are so afraid of death! You have truly disgraced the Ming King. The most useless and troublesome people are you!"
After the nine members of Ming Longjun spoke, the Hunyuan realm experts who had just berated Zhang Yang suddenly felt ashamed.
Indeed.
They were all descendants of the Ming King.
And they were also powerful figures in the Hunyuan realm. By rights, they should not have begged the pirates for mercy.
"But the situation is different now. We are at sea, and this terrain is extremely disadvantageous to us. Is it wrong for us to endure temporarily?"
"That's right, we're not afraid of the pirates. This is called sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall, to seek revenge later!"
"If you are so capable, why don't you kill all the pirates! Why are you shouting at us here?"
This was the height of sophistry.
Even though they were greedy for life and afraid of death, they refused to admit it!
"Hmph, it's beneath me to associate with you!"
"Zhang Tang, don't worry, we'll help you!"
With that said.
The nine members of Ming Longjun exchanged glances and jumped off the ship.
They stepped on the sharks in the sea and quickly rushed towards the pirate ship.
Seeing this.
Zhu Zhi also sighed.
The situation had reached a point where negotiation was impossible. They could only choose to fight!
"Prepare for battle!" Zhu Zhi said sternly, and then prepared to charge towards the pirate ship!
At this moment.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Haha, Great Elder, you don't need to come over. This matter can be handled by us, the Ming Longjun!"
As he was speaking.
Zhang Yang looked at the Ming Longjun members who had come to support him and asked.
"Brothers, do you dare to fight with me?"
"Since we're here, we naturally have to kill the enemy. Today, let's show those who are greedy for life and afraid of death why we are the strongest force among the Ming King's descendants!"
"That's right, kill all these pirates and slap their faces hard!"
Instantly, the morale of the Ming Longjun soared.
Zhang Yang also laughed heartily and said, "Good, then let's fight together, kill!"
"Kill!"
Immediately.
Including Zhang Yang, ten members of the Ming Longjun charged towards the pirates, their surging primal energy crashing down like a tidal wave.
Seeing this, the pirates were thrown into disarray.
The weakest of these ten individuals was in the late stage of the Hunyuan realm.
Many pirates with lower cultivation levels were instantly annihilated by the powerful primal energy.
Fortunately, pirates in the Hunyuan realm rushed out from behind and temporarily held them back.
But!
Good times did not last long.
The members of Ming Longjun unleashed their divine weapons and spiritual artifacts, suppressing the pirates.
Especially Zhang Yang.
Wielding the stone tablet like a bulldozer, he killed anyone in his path, Buddha or demon alike!
"Bastards! everyone from the central island deserves to die!"
The pirate captain, hiding at the very back, was enraged and directly blew his horn.
This startled the people on Zhu Zhi's ship, and they all cursed Zhang Yang.
But!
The horn had been blown for a long time, but the whales in the sea remained motionless, and the central island's ship remained stably moored on the sea.
What…
What was going on?
Not only Zhu Zhi and the others, but even the pirate captain was dumbfounded.
Could it be that the whales didn't hear because they were too far away?
The pirate captain quickly climbed the mast of the pirate ship and looked out at the sea.
He saw that after he blew the horn, the sharks in the sea had become enraged and were crashing towards the ship.
However, the ship was large, and the sharks were small, so they could not cause any damage to the ship.
"What's wrong with these whales? Get moving, you bastards!"
The pirate captain was furious. He blew the horn with all his might, trying to command the whales.
But…
It was still useless.
Zhu Zhi pondered for a moment, his face lit up with joy, and he shouted.
"Could it be that Zhang Tang did something?"
Zhu Zhi's reminder made Hu Hantian and Hong Tao slap their foreheads.
"That's certainly possible. That kid Zhang Tang was constantly touching those two whales just now, jumping around. Perhaps he tampered with them," Hu Hantian said excitedly.
"Hahaha, I knew Zhang Tang wouldn't do something so foolish. So he found the key to the problem long ago! Good kid, I really didn't misjudge you!" Hong Tao also laughed.
Fortunately, Zhang Yang and the members of Ming Longjun were fighting on the pirate ship at the moment.
Otherwise, if they heard their words, they would surely roll their eyes repeatedly.
The two of them had not said the same thing earlier.
This was truly a double standard.
And the Hunyuan realm experts who had mocked Zhang Yang for causing trouble and dragging them down turned as red as beets, lowering their heads in shame.
It turned out that.
While they were waiting for Zhu Zhi to negotiate with the pirates, Zhang Tang had already found a solution.
The gap in their awareness was truly not small.
"This kid, although he's a bit of a rogue, he always manages to surprise people at critical moments!" Zhu Zhi laughed heartily.
"Haha, I'll go over now and help them fight!" Hu Hantian was very excited and prepared to help.
However, he was stopped by Hong Tao, who shook his head at Hu Hantian.
"If flowers in a greenhouse are to grow, they must experience wind and rain. Let the Ming Longjun complete this battle independently today, and it will also serve as a lesson for these people."
After Hong Tao finished speaking, he pointed at the ashamed and disgraced Hunyuan realm experts.
"Hmph! Indeed, with their attitude, they might get into trouble if they encounter the inheritors of the Ink King. It's good to let them learn their lesson in advance!"
Zhu Zhi nodded repeatedly.
This battle would surely establish the authority of the Ming Longjun.
When they went to the Far West, if they were entangled by the powerful figures of the Ink King's inheritors, the Ming Longjun would be able to stand up and lead them, and no one would dare to disobey them!
At the same time.
The pirate captain's throat was about to break from blowing, but the whales still showed no movement.
He angrily smashed the horn in his hand and rushed towards Zhang Yang, shouting angrily.
"Brat, did you do something? Why aren't the whales listening to my commands anymore?"
"You're only realizing this now? How did you become a captain with that brain?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.
"It's actually very simple. I used silver needles to block the whales' sensitivity to magnetic fields and sound waves, so your horn would be ineffective. Otherwise, do you think I've never seen whales before and wanted to admire them up close?"
After Zhang Yang finished speaking, the members of Ming Longjun gave him a thumbs-up, deeply impressed.
"Hahaha, Zhang Tang, you're amazing, to think of such a method."
"Truly impressive, we are completely convinced. But the pirate captain is miserable, being played like a fool by you."
The mockery from the Ming Longjun made the pirate captain even more furious!
All the primal energy within him erupted, instantly forcing back the members of Ming Longjun except for Zhang Yang!
"Bastards, don't think that without the whales, I can't do anything to you! I'll kill you all!"
Boom!
Terrifying power swept through the scene, and the expressions of the nine Ming Longjun members changed.
This pirate captain had also broken through to the late stage of the Hunyuan realm, reaching the Accumulation realm.
Now Zhang Yang was in danger.
