Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 165 Battle of the Seas

Flocks of seagulls flew across the sky from time to time.

Merchant ships in the area automatically retreated upon seeing so many warships.

In the outer realms, there are no rules; whoever is the strongest can rule everything.

On a nearby island, some people stood on the beach, gazing into the distance.

Such scenes are rare in the seas today.

I wonder which family mobilized so many troops; it's enough to start a war.

Lu Ming stared ahead, where the azure sea merged seamlessly with the sky.

The scenery was quite nice.

The soldiers gathered together to fish.

Moments later, cheers erupted.

Wang Yue caught a big fish.

It has already reached a point where it can rival the innate ability.

The fish is over three meters long, and its scales are all golden.

"Take this fish to make soup for the Marquis!" Wang Yue smiled and handed the fish he had caught to a soldier standing nearby.

Nothing happened on the road over the next few days.

Lu Ming spent his days drinking and tasting the fish that Wang Yue and others caught.

Life was quite pleasant.

On this day, as they were passing through a strait...

Mu Qinglin leaned close to Lu Ming and whispered, "My lord, the Zhang family's checkpoint should be just ahead."

Helian glared at her and said, "That's right, that is indeed a checkpoint set up by the Zhang family, called White Stone Strait. The leader should be an elder, whose cultivation is at the peak of the Refining God realm and who is proficient in water control."

He also had two or three hundred Golden Core disciples under his command.

Lu Ming nodded. "Charge over there."

Upon receiving the order, Helian Nu immediately shouted, "Full power! Charge!"

The voice sounded.

"Crash!"

A large number of spirit stones were filled into the warship's slots, and the runes on them were constantly jumping.

A crimson light shone on the sea.

Like blood.

As they approached the White Rock Strait.

The Zhang family naturally noticed it as well.

"Splash!" On the sea, a chain as thick as a water bucket was snapped straight.

A dark light shimmered on it.

This is a top-grade magic weapon, the Dragon Binding Lock.

It can blockade a sea area, preventing any ship from passing through.

The elders of the Zhang family led their disciples to stand in mid-air above the sea.

"stop!"

An elder dressed in a long black robe spoke.

Visible sound waves emanated from his mouth.

It expands outwards in concentric circles.

Amazing waves splashed on the sea surface.

As it rolled, it seemed to roar.

The scene before him did not cause Lu Ming's expression to change much.

"Boom!" The lead warship, positioned across the strait, unleashed a barrage of energy from its ballistae.

Behind the giant wave, another amazing spray appeared.

The chains were shaking violently.

The Golden Core disciples of the Zhang family were covered in it.

For a time, the waves surged.

The elders of the Zhang family clearly hadn't expected the people coming from the other side to be so aggressive, launching an attack right away.

He waved his hand, which transformed into a wall of energy.

They wanted to defend against the attack.

However, Lu Ming naturally wouldn't give him that chance.

He leaped into the air, his Dragon Sparrow Blade unleashing a thousand-foot-long blade of light, its azure-gold energy flashing.

When falling from above.

A continuous barrage of sword shadows followed closely behind.

A sharp, piercing aura emanated from the air.

The elder of the Zhang family was shocked. He slapped the surface of the sea with his palm, and a thousand-foot-long column of water shot into the sky.

There were bright blue specks of light flashing on it.

"Bang!" But as the blade struck it.

The water column was shattered inch by inch.

The splashing waves rose up and landed on the islands on both sides.

The boulder was blasted away.

The ground was riddled with craters.

The water column from the Zhang family elder was shattered.

The blade fell onto the sea beside him.

It unleashed a colossal wave.

Although the elder dodged quickly and didn't strike his body, the pervasive energy still caused him considerable damage.

The body is covered with numerous cracks.

Fresh blood was also seeping from his mouth and nose.

At this moment, a hoarse roar came from his mouth: "Do you know the consequences of offending my Prison Dragon Island?"

Lu Ming showed no intention of responding.

The armor gleamed with a black, shimmering sheen.

Standing in mid-air, he stomped his foot towards the elder.

At this moment, the dragon and elephant phantom behind him seemed to merge with him.

A huge, cyan-gold dragon-elephant footprint appeared beneath Lu Ming's feet.

An aura of destruction emanated from it.

The elder of the Zhang family raised his arm to defend himself.

A wall of azure water appeared in front of him.

They wanted to block Lu Ming's attack.

"Boom! Boom!"

It was almost utterly devastating.

The water curtain shattered, and then the body of the Zhang family elder was revealed.

It was shattered instantly.

It turned into a thick cloud of blood mist and dissipated on the sea surface.

In less than an hour, the checkpoints set up by the Zhang family were destroyed by Lu Ming.

"Let's continue." This was said upon returning to the warship.

The other party said calmly.

The five-toothed warship roared forward again, quickly passing through the strait.

The chains that had been lying across the sea had now broken.

The merchant ships sailing around stopped when they saw this scene.

"Who are those people who actually attacked the Zhang family of Prison Dragon Island?" A caravan leader looked at the ravaged sea ahead, stained with crimson blood, with disbelief on his face.

"It seems to be a warship belonging to the Marquis of Zhige's mansion. It appears to be from the Great Yu Dynasty. Its strength is quite considerable. After suppressing Black Mountain Island, it gathered dozens of families and became somewhat famous along the coast."

"I never expected that we'd be challenging Dragon Prison Island now," a guard stepped forward and said.

The caravan leader frowned; he had a bad feeling.

This voyage may not be so smooth.

For many years, no one in the coastal areas has dared to provoke Prisoner Dragon Island. Since this Marquis of Zhige has sent troops, it proves that he still has some strength.

After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Let's continue on our way."

Then, the merchant ship began to move forward again.

However, as they crossed the strait, they once again saw numerous shipwrecks and crimson seawater.

Clearly, the Zhang family sent men to stop them once again, but their ships were still sunk and their entire army was wiped out.

On a fleet of ships not far away, the sect leader of the Four Seas Sect watched the direction Lu Ming's merchant caravan was heading.

A look of tension appeared in his eyes.

He used to pay tribute to Black Mountain Island, but now that the tribute has been transferred to the Marquis of Zhige's mansion, his life hasn't improved much compared to before.

The Zhang family's exclusion from Prison Dragon Island caused a sharp decline in the sect's income.

He even considered defecting to other forces.

After all, if things continue like this...

The people of the Four Seas Sect will probably not be able to obtain cultivation resources.

Moreover, as far as he knew, there were quite a few people who shared his thoughts.

At least half of the more than twenty families and sects under Black Mountain Island's control are now considering seeking new protection.

But now, he saw the Hou family's warships, which directly broke through the Zhang family's defenses.

Heading towards Dragon Prison Island.

How could I not be nervous? It would be better if the Marquis's family won.

If they lose, their families, who have been paying tribute to the enemy, will likely be wiped out.

Thinking of this, he looked at the elder beside him and asked, "What should we do next?"

He was completely clueless. Since the fate of his sect was at stake, he dared not be careless in the slightest.

"Otherwise, shall we follow them and see what happens before making a decision?" the elder said cautiously.

A conflicted look appeared on his face.

"It will be too late by then. If the Marquis's mansion falls, we will be swallowed up without a trace."

Ask the other companies what they mean.

"Yes, Sect Master." The elder responded and then took out a communication jade talisman to begin sending a message.

A response was received shortly afterward.

"Sect Master, thirteen families are preparing to announce their withdrawal from the control of the Marquis's Mansion. They believe that the Marquis's Mansion may not be able to return this time."

Prisoner Dragon Island has been a dominant force on the coast for many years.

The Marquis of Zhige's mansion only controls more than twenty families; how can it compare to the other side?

In Dayu, the other party might be considered a behemoth, but now they are at sea.

The only capable subordinate he had was Helian Nu, who, despite his somewhat infamous reputation.

However, they are no match for the Zhang family. If the other side sends out an elder, they can fight against them.

The Sect Master of the Four Seas hesitated for a moment. "What about the Mu family?"

"The head of the Mu family has gone to the outer realms to transport Star Sand. They seem to have known about the Zhige Marquis's expedition before we did."

They didn't reply to the messages I sent.

"It seems we're going down this path to the bitter end," the elder hurriedly said.

After hesitating for a moment, the Sect Master of the Four Seas gritted his teeth and said, "Spread the word that we have also left the Marquis's mansion. After this battle, Helian Nu will probably not be able to come back. Even if he is lucky enough to survive, we all know the Zhang family's methods. They always eliminate the root of the problem."

Helian Nu will likely have to go into hiding as well.

"I'll spread the word right now."

The reason for making such a big fuss was to tell everyone that he had nothing to do with the Marquis of Zhige's mansion anymore.

If the other side loses, tell the Zhang family not to implicate him.

Such incidents occur frequently in the sea, and generally, as long as they are announced to the world, they will not be targeted.

However, there is also a point: if you make the wrong choice, you're completely doomed.

Therefore, in the outer regions, some small forces can be said to survive in the cracks.

At this very moment, Lu Ming, after annihilating two of Zhang's fleets,

They are gradually getting closer to Prisoner Dragon Island.

Mu Qinglin was always by his side.

At this moment, after hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and said, "My lord, fourteen of the sects and families that pay tribute to us have declared their separation from the Marquis's mansion. The Four Seas Sect Master has declared that he will ally with the Marquis's mansion, and they have now joined the Sun family of Zhenhai."

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow.

Then he said, "I understand."

He didn't care much about these small families that had broken away.

Once the Zhang family of the Imprisoned Dragon is destroyed, will we lack any other families to pledge allegiance to?

The warships moved forward.

Lu Ming looked into the distance and then saw an island appear in front of him.

The area above was packed with people.

There are also strong figures standing on the sea.

They exuded a murderous aura.

In particular, the leader was dressed in a long red robe, with the faint shadow of a dragon floating behind him.

Her long hair was spread out loosely.

He is the master of Prison Dragon Island.

The initial stage of cultivation in the Dharma Formation stage.

At this moment, as the warship slowly approached.

Lu Ming could feel the killing intent emanating from the other party.

In the distance, many warships were docked.

People from all sides were watching the battle.

Even the proud daughter of the Sun family in Zhenhai was among them.

Her long red dress accentuated her curves beautifully.

Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders.

Drifting with the sea breeze.

Her cheeks were so translucent they were almost transparent.

Her stunningly beautiful face gazed upon the battlefield.

A hint of curiosity flickered in her star-like eyes.

After all, the Marquis of Zhige's mansion had never been heard of before.

It was only recently, after conquering several families, that I began to hear about it.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an amazing person.

They were going to challenge the Zhang family, the Prisoner of Dragons, directly.

“Miss, should we help the Zhang family?” a steward stepped forward and asked.

"Let's wait and see. A battle of this scale shouldn't end anytime soon."

The best option is to weaken the Zhang family.

As for the Marquis of Zhige's mansion, even if they win, they may still suffer losses.

If it truly becomes an unstoppable force, even if we go up there, we won't be able to reverse it.

The eldest daughter of the Sun family said calmly.

His gaze was fixed ahead.

She always felt that since the Marquis of Zhige's mansion dared to stand up and take the initiative to provoke them.

Things are probably not that simple.

The steward standing nearby quickly replied, "Yes, sir!"

Then, gazing ahead, he said nothing more.

And at this time.

The warship moved forward slowly.

At this moment, the head of the Zhang family spoke up.

"Lord Zhige, I have heard of your name. You have made a great name for yourself in Dayu, and your power has shaken the fourteen coastal states. You have killed the genius of Tianyang Sect. In Dayu, all the major sects have to retreat. But this is the sea."

A place that none of the seven major sects dare to set foot in casually.

You're making such a big show of opposing the Zhang family.

Aren't you afraid of breaking all your teeth?

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of everyone in the room.

When everyone looked at Lu Ming, their initial bewilderment gave way to a look of awe.

They had never heard of the Marquis of Zhige of Dayu.

However, the seven major sects are very famous.

Unexpectedly, this unknown Marquis Zhige in front of me is actually able to rival the seven major sects.

Although there is humanitarian support.

But that's enough to show how powerful the other side is.

At this moment, Lu Ming stared ahead and said calmly.

"What about the Great Yu Dynasty or the sea region? In my opinion, they are all ordinary. It's just a matter of strength."

You, Lord of Prison Dragon Island, have made a great name for yourself.

Surely you know this principle.

"Haha, what a fine Lord Zhige! You are indeed a fearless young man. Let's have a battle then!"

When the sound rang out.

"boom!"

At that moment, a massive column of water shot into the sky behind them, reaching a height of ten thousand feet.

The emanating energy was startling.

He stood still.

Streaks of mysterious light connected with the surrounding water columns.

Everyone around gasped.

"Dragon Imprisonment Technique!"

No one expected it.

As soon as the Lord of Imprisoned Dragon Island made his move, he actually used his signature move.

And at this time.

Lu Ming leaped into the air, with nine Purple Mansion experts beside him flashing by.

He appeared beside Lu Ming.

A massive burst of electric light erupted.

His entire body was shrouded in black mist.

In an instant, it transformed into a long black dragon.

Its body was covered in scaly armor.

His eyes flashed with electric light.

A pair of sharp claws swung, radiating endless cold.

The ferocious head swayed.

Lu Ming flashed and stood on it.

The Dragon Sparrow Blade appeared in his palm.

The next moment, he rushed forward.

Meanwhile, his warships also advanced.

The war is about to start.
