Cultivation: I Forge Immortality with My Spiritual Eyes

Chapter 38: The Enemy's Road is Narrow

About an incense stick later.

The three of them sped along in their fishing boat, leaving the treacherous sea far behind.

They breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down their sailing speed after confirming that there were no pursuers behind them.

Although we are now far away.

Recalling the bloody scene just now, the three of them still felt lingering fear and a chill ran down their spines.

That gang of Bloodscarf Thieves was no ordinary thief who roamed around.

They occupy a second-tier spirit island, calling themselves Bloodsail Island, and their power is considerable.

He commands over a hundred Qi Refining cultivators, each ruthless and fierce in combat.

Furthermore, there are two Foundation Establishment stage experts in charge.

They have been running rampant in the nearby waters for many years, committing all sorts of evil deeds and displaying an extremely arrogant attitude.

Even if the island lord of Qingluo Island himself came, he could only speak politely and dared not offend him in the slightest.

Niu Yaojin, rowing with his famous oar, grew increasingly fearful as he thought about it. Wiping away a cold sweat, he spoke first:

"Damn it, luckily we ran fast and didn't get involved rashly, otherwise if we had gotten stuck, there probably wouldn't even be any bone fragments left."

Lei Bao wholeheartedly agreed and replied in a deep voice:

"Indeed, I didn't expect this group to dare to sneak into the vicinity of Qingluo Island to plunder. It seems that this route is blocked. We'd better not go any closer to that area for the time being."

Jiang Yi glanced at the sky and, seeing that it was still early, made a suggestion:

"Now that we've set sail, we can't go back empty-handed. We should find a safe spot in the surrounding waters to set our nets."

Niu Yaojin nodded in agreement:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang is right! If I remember correctly, there are several deserted islands in the northwest. There are usually few ships in that area, so let's try our luck there."

The three quickly agreed and were about to turn the ship around and sail west.

Suddenly, a painful howl of a monster came from the distant sea mist.

The three men's expressions hardened, and they immediately became alert and looked toward the source of the sound.

Amidst the rolling waves, a dark blue-black armored crayfish charged frantically towards them.

This crayfish is nearly ten feet long, with a thick shell and two huge pincers covered with sharp spikes, making it look extremely ferocious.

Judging from the faint pressure emanating from it, its strength is already close to the late stage of the first tier!

At this moment, however, his breathing was disordered, his eyes were filled with panic, and he looked extremely disheveled.

Not only were its shells covered in cracks, but several of its legs were also broken, and pale blue blood was flowing continuously from the wounds.

He had clearly just been in a fierce battle and suffered serious injuries; his condition was far from what it used to be.

Upon seeing this, the three exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming and their minds instantly racing.

If it were a demon shrimp at its peak, with its cultivation level approaching the late stage of the first rank.

The three of them might still have some consideration and wouldn't act rashly.

But now that this beast is severely injured and in a panic, it is the perfect opportunity to strike and kill the demon.

"Haha! I've hit the jackpot today!"

Niu Yaojin's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly:

"We don't need to bother fishing anymore. Killing this beast will be worth half a month's work! We don't even know who it escaped from. Let's get started and finish this quickly!"

The three of them made a quick decision without further hesitation.

He immediately gathered his magical power and steered the boat to surround the crayfish.

Niu Yaojin, being the most impatient, flashed a light at his waist and was the first to unleash his bronze hammer magic weapon, smashing it down fiercely with a whistling sound.

Lei Bao then slammed a red flag heavily at his feet.

The flag fluttered in the wind, and fiery clouds billowed, releasing waves of heat as soon as it was unfurled.

He formed hand seals and chanted incantations, and the fire magic, empowered by the red flag, increased in power by several times.

Several fireballs the size of washbasins suddenly converged, trailing long fiery tails as they blasted towards the crayfish, blocking its escape route.

The dog on the boat, its eyes gleaming with ferocity, leaped off the fishing boat and swam rapidly towards them, ready to seize the opportunity to bite.

Jiang Yi was equally quick, his fingertips flashing with magic, unleashing a solid water arrow aimed directly at the crack in the crayfish's shell.

He then flicked his finger, and a talisman exploded, turning into more than ten sharp wooden spikes that shot towards wounds, eyes, and other vulnerable areas.

The crayfish, having just escaped from the tiger's jaws, rushed towards the three in a panic.

Attacked again, its ferocity was fully unleashed, and it frantically swung its giant pincers to block.

At the same time, it opened its mouth and spat out a series of viscous bubbles to meet the onslaught of water.

Those water bubbles were quite sophisticated; upon slight contact with the fireball or splinters, they would burst open, using their corrosive power to dissipate their power.

However, it was already severely injured and its demonic power was insufficient, so it could only barely block the copper hammer and most of the fireballs and wooden spikes.

The remaining attacks slammed into its shell, sending fragments flying and splattering its blood everywhere. The shrimp howled in pain and rolled wildly in the water.

After only two rounds, he was already on the verge of death, unable to fight back, and his defeat was inevitable.

Just as the three were rejoicing and preparing to intensify their offensive,

Suddenly, their expressions changed drastically, as if they had sensed something, and they looked up in the direction from which the crayfish had fled.

Through the misty sea fog, several fishing boats could be seen breaking through the waves!

The sails were billowing in the sea breeze, and the ship was approaching at an extremely fast speed.

The monks on the ship could clearly see what was happening, but they showed no intention of making way.

Instead, they charged straight at us with menacing force, making no attempt to conceal their ill intentions.

"Be careful! Conserve your magic power, lest someone intercepts it!"

Niu Yaojin sensed something was wrong and immediately shouted in a deep voice, becoming alert and on guard.

As they were talking, the fishing boats sped over.

The faces of the monks on the ship became clearer, each with a cold smile, sinister eyes, and ill intentions.

The leader was a thin, dark-skinned man, who was none other than Blackie, who had just had a quarrel with Jiang Yi yesterday!

Lei Bao whistled, summoning back the Wind Chaser Hound, and said solemnly:

"It's Shi Dazhuang's gang. This is going to be difficult. Those bastards have always been extremely arrogant. They've probably been eyeing this crayfish for a while now."

The dark-skinned man stood brazenly at the bow of the boat.

His gaze swept over the battered crayfish, a greedy glint in his eyes, and he immediately raised his voice to sternly rebuke the three of them:

"You three have some nerve! How dare you snatch food from Blackie's mouth? Get the hell out of here right now! Or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Niu Yaojin felt a surge of anger rush to his head and roared back at the top of his lungs:

"Hey, you surnamed Hei, you're being way too domineering! This isn't even Qinglin Bay territory yet. We clearly targeted these crayfish first. Your approach of rushing in and grabbing them is incredibly rude!"

"Hahaha!"

Dark-skinned man laughed loudly, his triangular eyes filled with ruthlessness:

"Rules? On this sea, Blackie's word is law! If you disagree, feel free to come and challenge me..."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

She tilted her head slightly and looked at Jiang Yi, who was not far away, with his head down and eyes lowered, trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.

Then a grin spread across his face, revealing a sinister smile, and he spat out each word through gritted teeth:

"Good! Good! What a small world! Weren't you all cocky yesterday? Why are you cowering today? Do you really think I'm blind?!"

His eyes were cold, and he made subtle hand gestures behind his back as he spoke.

Several nearby fishing boats quickly changed course.

They changed from charging straight at the crayfish to encircling it, quietly flanking the three of them.

Jiang Yi looked around, his heart sinking.

The opposing group consisted of six people, all of whom were at least at the fourth level of Qi Refining. They outnumbered the enemy and were not to be confronted head-on.

He looked down on this person from the bottom of his heart.

But a wise man doesn't suffer a loss in the present moment; this is definitely not the time to show off.

Before the enemy could completely encircle him, he suddenly jerked the rudder and shouted loudly:

"Let's go! There are too many of them, we can't keep the crayfish here!"

Both Niu Yaojin and Lei Bao were shrewd men who had been in the business for many years, so they could naturally see the current situation clearly.

The two cursed under their breath, and proceeded to hurl insults at Blackie's ancestors for eighteen generations.

He then put away his magical artifacts, changed course, and swiftly sailed away.

"Hmph, trying to leave?"

Dark-skinned man, his face contorted with malice, coldly ordered:

"Bi Tao, Ma Zi, you two stay here and kill the crayfish, the rest of you follow me!"

The other two are fine to ignore. Just keep a close eye on that pretty boy on the left. I'm going to skin him alive today!

The nearby cultivators immediately responded, sending two fishing boats to attack the dying crayfish.

Blackie took out a blue talisman, activated it, and slammed it onto the hull of the ship.

"Phew~"

Suddenly, a strong wind arose, billowing the sails and causing the ship's speed to surge dramatically as it sped off in pursuit of Jiang Yi.

The other two fishing boats followed suit, each summoning a talisman to urge the boats to catch up quickly.

Between pursuit and escape.

The outlines of several fishing boats were quickly swallowed up by the sea fog and disappeared from sight...
