Song of Adolescence

Chapter 249 Ten Thousand Arrows Fired at Once

The commander slowly drew his sword. "I hope that in the future, you’ll remember what you said."

The gray-robed man whispered, "I will also remember your name, Commander Han Chengzhi of the Gaocheng Prefecture Navy."

"Good!" Han Chengzhi suddenly raised his sword high. "Draw!"

All the naval soldiers on board the government ship pulled their bowstrings tight, and their arrows were pointed straight into the sky, ready to fire. Almost at the same time, the Guotong Prefecture ship next to them also raised their bows and arrows.

It seemed as if they had the same thoughts. As long as they killed that person onboard the other ship, no matter how heavy the consequences, it was worth it!

Mu Chunfeng saw the changes on the other two ships facing them, and his pupils contracted. He waved his long sleeves and shouted again, "Draw!"

The guards on the ship did not hesitate at all, as if it didn’t matter to them that the two ships they were facing were government ships. This was the confidence of the Qingzhou Mu family. They didn’t care if it was a government ship or some other ship, as long as they stood in the way of the Mu family, they had to be swept away.

"Get everyone else to retreat into the cabin," Xiao Se said suddenly.

Mu Chunfeng was puzzled. "Why?"

"Bows and arrows have no eyes, and some of your people will definitely get injured or get killed. A life is a life, mine is no more valuable than theirs. There’s no need to sacrifice more people just to protect me," Xiao Se said mildly.

Mu Chunfeng thought briefly about it and immediately nodded. "You’re right. Everyone, retreat carefully into the cabin and protect yourself with shields." The guards did not hesitate, and immediately retreated into the cabin while holding their bows and arrows vigilantly. However, Mu Chunfeng continued to stand with the rest, not moving a single step.

Lei Wujie asked, "Why aren’t you leaving?"

Mu Chunfeng smiled and said, "I’m your friend. It’s natural that I should protect my friends from arrows."

Tian Mozhi stood silently beside Mu Chunfeng, still bowing slightly, but did not discourage this young master of the family. Perhaps he knew that even if he tried to discourage him, it would be in vain.

"Their people seem to have retreated. There are only a few left on the deck." Han Chengzhi narrowed his eyes.

"He will still be there. He won\'t hide." The gray-robed man made his intent clear.

Han Chengzhi finally dropped his sabre. "Fire."

A rain of arrows shot into the sky as they left their bowstrings.

Mu Chunfeng was first to draw his sword. Although his sword’s killing intent was weak, the sword aura was vigorous. A single sword could move a thousand mountains and raise ten thousand tides! The sea water was stirred into a gigantic wave by his sword aura, bringing down many of the arrows. But more than half of the arrows still filled up the sky!

Tang Lian leaped up and waved his hands fiercely, lifting two torrents of seawater from his hands. This was Burgeoning Ocean created by Wine Immortal Baili Dongjun. Long ago, during the Full Blossom Festival, Tang Lian could only lift two jars of wine, but today, he had really lifted two deep torrents!

This was the power of the Unrestrained realm, truly half a step to the Heavenly Realm!

With a wave of his hands, he used the two deep torrents to sweep down all the arrows in the sky.

Lei Wujie drew his Heart sword. He had been training his sword for the past three days, but hadn’t really drawn his sword. He was cultivating his sword heart, and cultivating his sword intent. He slammed his sword towards the sky.

A red light flashed across.

He was no longer armed with the Murderous Dread sword passed to him by Lei Hong, but the sword intent he’d wielded this time was very similar to the sword intent of the Murderous Dread sword. To kill and extinguish all life, ruthless and terrifying!

An entire row of arrows were chopped into pieces.

Finally, Sikong Qianluo waved her spear, and she lightly drew a circle around everyone else like she was dancing. The spear in her hand also waved beautifully like a dance. Then, she drew back her spear and bowed her head slightly.

The smashed arrows scattered all over the ground.

Xiao Se nodded slightly. "Not bad."

"Using five people against two armies… really, it’s not bad." It was Tian Mozhi who spoke.

"Mu-xiong, get your men to increase our speed. We’re going to board their boat," Xiao Se said lightly.

Mu Chunfeng chuckled. "I already gave the orders earlier."

They managed to block the first wave of arrows that filled the sky, but if their opponents continued to fire their arrows, they would eventually be exhausted. The only chance they had was to attack the other boats directly.

"Kill all of them," Xiao Se said these four words indifferently.

Lei Wujie shrugged. "I don\'t like killing people. Can’t we just scare them away?"

Han Chengzhi frowned. "How could they have such martial experts on board?"

"Martial experts? We’re the Beili Navy. Why would we fear these hooligans of the martial world?" The gray-robed man spoke softly.

"If these hooligans of the martial world are not worth being afraid of, then back then, how could the Wrath Sword Immortal Yan Zhantian fight ten thousand soldiers on his own? In the end, he killed a whole two thousand men of the Nanjue Army and this invincible army actually fled in fear." Han Chengzhi once again raised his long sabre high into the air.

"How can a few greenhorns compare to a sword immortal?" The gray-robed man scoffed disdainfully.

Han Chengzhi smirked, swung down his long sabre, and another wave of arrows left their bowstrings.

But the arrows were once again stopped by the people on the other boat.

The ship was getting closer and closer.

"Use the Goldenfall crossbow," Han Chengzhi said evenly.

A huge crossbow was pushed onto the deck by more than ten people. When on land, such a huge crossbow was used to siege cities but on sea, it was used for shooting at sharks. If a man was struck by such a crossbow, he would definitely be cut in half.

"Don\'t shoot at the people. Shoot at their ship," Han Chengzhi said evenly.

The ship next to them also brought out their Goldenfall crossbow. This was the most advanced weaponry the prefectural navy possessed.

Xiao Se frowned slightly. "We’re in trouble."

Tian Mozhi suddenly whistled, and the lower deck opened up. Inside, there seemed to be some sort of enormous weapon that gleamed with a cold light.

The Sirius Crossbow.

That was an enormous crossbow that was very difficult to carry on a ship. It was several times more aggressive than the Goldenfall crossbow and could only be equipped on a cedar longboat.

"Sirius Crossbow." Han Chengzhi recognized it and sighed softly. "This day is not going to end well."

Xiao Se waved his hand. "Slow down."

Tian Mozhi whistled again, and the Golden Cross immediately slowed down.

Han Chengzhi touched the hilt of his long sabre and looked to the side. The Guotong Prefecture ship also came to a stop and did not continue to fire their arrows. He became somewhat annoyed. "Can they not copy us every time?"

"Whoever makes the first move, the Sirius Crossbow will shoot at them, and the other party will have a chance." Even if the gray-robed man was not familiar with naval battles, he had heard of the power of the Sirius Crossbow.

"But these two Goldenfall crossbows are not weakly herbivores either. Even if they’re a cedar longboat, they can’t have too much of an advantage. We use the Goldenfall crossbow together with tens of thousands of arrows, they will only be able to block a few rounds." Han Chengzhi paused. "It\'s just that within these few rounds, they may be able to destroy one of the ships."

"They can\'t be allowed to leave." The gray-robed man insisted.

Han Chengzhi sniggered to himself, thinking that only these important officials from Heavenly Revelations would dare to make such rude and unreasonable demands.

"Even if I have to die here." The gray-robed man\'s tone was firm.

Just when the situation reached a deadlock, another ship suddenly approached from a distance. The ship was very large and luxurious, and the shape of it looked almost exactly the same as the Mu family’s ship.

It was another cedar longboat.

At the top of its mast was an enormous flag.

The Great Divine Phoenix flag.

The family crest of the Beili Xiao Clan imperial family.
