Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

With Han Gaitian's command.

Archers on dozens of warships around them frantically drew their bows, and wolf-tooth arrows flew from the strings.

A dense barrage of hardwood arrows shot straight at the figure suspended in mid-air.

Qin Hanlong's skill was nearly perfected, with half of his internal energy transformed into true essence, and his feet were suspended in the air directly above him.

His inner energy surged rapidly along the eight extraordinary meridians, and despite seeing the dark mass of arrows, his face remained cold and expressionless.

"snort."

A cold snort.

The sound, imbued with true energy, left the sailors and crew on both sides of the river stunned.

A faint golden glow emanated from within three feet of Qin Han.

The hardwood arrows that charged ahead crashed into the golden air wall, their iron arrowheads snapping into several pieces and falling into the water.

A large number of arrows followed and fell. Qin Han waved his sleeves forward lightly, and golden true energy expanded outward in a circle along with his movement.

Hundreds of arrows flew through the air, abruptly halting in mid-air as he flicked his wrist.

All the arrows turned and aimed directly at the Sea Sand Gang members who were still holding bows on the deck below.

"Return the item to its rightful owner."

Hundreds and thousands of wooden arrows hovering in mid-air changed direction and flew backwards, their speed noticeably faster than when they were shot at.

The archers of the Hai Sha Gang in the front row were still in the position of drawing their bows, with bloody holes gushing out of their necks, chests and foreheads, and one after another they fell forward and crashed onto the wooden planks.

The deck was soon covered with corpses, and the gang members who were lucky enough not to be shot were trembling, their knives and guns falling to the ground with a clatter.

Several people who had retreated to the side of the boat slipped and fell into the river, floundering around. The rest, terrified, immediately knelt down and banged their heads against the blood-stained wooden planks.

"Please spare me, immortal! Please spare me, immortal!"

This group of bandits and robbers is a motley crew. They would have a hard time even meeting a master with the highest level of innate talent, let alone a grandmaster.

Han Gaitian's eyelids twitched wildly. What immortal? This is the King of Qin!

He pushed You Qiuyan aside, glared at her with bloodshot eyes, and yelled at the top of his lungs towards the wooden door of the cabin.

"What kind of bullshit immortal is he! Bring out those giant cannons, and even if he's an immortal, I'll blast him down!!"

Han Gaitian's men kicked open the hatch, and more than twenty shirtless, burly men pushed six heavy black iron cannons out of the hatch.

They frantically adjusted the gun's elevation, aiming all the thick, black iron pipes at the figure in mid-air.

Dan Yang, the leader of the Water Dragon Gang, whose eyelids twitched not far away, was still trying to persuade them from the large ship in the distance.

These are princes, after all. What if the court uses them as scapegoats?

"Boss Han, please, don't be impulsive..."

Han Gaitian had just said something lewd to Yun Yuzhen; given the ruthless nature of the King of Qin, he was certain to die.

That being the case...

"Screw impulsiveness! I refuse to believe this Qin bastard can use his body to block a solid cannonball. Light it!"

The fuse burned rapidly into the cannon barrel, and six deafening explosions erupted on the river surface, causing the boat to rock for a moment.

Six solid black iron pellets, each the size of a watermelon, shot straight toward Qin Han's face.

Qin and Han made no attempt to dodge; those who know about the cannons of the Southern Song Dynasty understand.

The powerful golden true energy within his body surged and circulated rapidly along his muscles, bones, and blood vessels. When a small amount of true energy flowed, a deep and resonant sound could be faintly heard.

He slowly raised his right arm and pressed his palm against the six cannonballs directly in front of him!

A thick layer of true energy burst forth from his body.

The previously calm air began to distort noticeably with his press, and a large amount of golden light rapidly condensed and pieced together in the night sky behind Qin Han.

In just two breaths, a huge golden dragon-shaped light and shadow, hundreds of feet long, formed on the surface of the water!

The six powerful solid iron balls had only flown a few feet away from Qin Han when they were blocked by the heavy force of the swirling golden dragon shadow.

As the true energy accumulated inward, the black iron pellet was squeezed into several irregular flat iron pieces, which fell into the river below after losing their force.

Han Gaitian's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!

"Is this... is this a person or...?"

Danyang's mouth was agape, and the nine-ringed sword slipped from his hand and hit the back of his foot without causing any reaction.

On the Water Dragon Gang's and the Japanese pirates' warships flying the skull and crossbones flag, the gang members who made their living on the water all year round felt stiff and cold all over.

Sasaki, the leader of the Japanese pirates, was also on the Haisha Gang's ship at this time.

He started cursing at Han Gaitian.

"Baka...baka! This kind of monster is impossible to fight, impossible to fight..."

Sasaki climbed to the bow of the ship and begged Qin Han for mercy.

"King Qin, stop! Don't fight anymore! We surrender... we surrender!"

Qin Han noticed that there were also these Japanese bastards with strange hairstyles on the ship.

His gaze turned even colder, completely ignoring the cries for mercy from below, as his right palm filled with golden true energy.

With a flick of his wrist, he slammed his hand down heavily on the main ship below.

Qin Han let out a low shout.

"Shocking for miles around!"

As he pressed down with his palm, the golden dragon shadow let out a long roar, and the dragon-shaped phantom rushed straight to the river surface!

The force of this brutal palm strike directly pressed the river, which was hundreds of feet wide, into a deep pit several tens of feet wide. The surrounding water waves could not fill the pit in time and could only surge outwards.

Qin Han casually flicked his wrist upwards, and the true energy in his palm mixed with moisture condensed into an ice blade with ice shards!

"The Second Technique of the Six Arts of Frostbite! Freezing a Thousand Miles!"

A cold blade of energy, several meters long, slashed down, freezing the surrounding river water into a thick ice wall due to the low temperature brought by the blade!

Even on his deathbed, Sasaki couldn't understand why his pleas for mercy were met with even greater force.

The wooden ship beneath Han Gaitian's feet, as tall as a building, cracked with a dull thud when the palm force pressed down from above.

The wooden cabins and masts couldn't even hold up for a single breath before being crushed on the spot!

Before Han Gaitian could even think of dodging, his tall and muscular body was smashed to pieces on the bottom of the deck by an invisible wave of true energy.

It mingled with the broken pieces of wood and iron, turning into a pool of unrecognizable bits of flesh and blood.

Dozens of small warships of the Sea Sand Gang that were too close to the main ship, along with thousands of gang members who were begging for mercy and standing there in a daze on the deck, were all swept away and scattered by the tyrannical palm wind and giant waves that spread out.

The severed limbs and remains were instantly swallowed by the surging river water, and a huge whirlpool swirled continuously in the center of the river.

Large amounts of glaring blood rose from the bottom of the water and spread on the surface!

A lucky guy named Hattori Sengun (from the movie version of Invincible East) survived by sheer luck and clutched the broken wooden plank in his arms.

He mumbled something indistinctly.

"It must be Amaterasu Omikami manifesting her power to punish us, it must be..."

You Qiuyan also survived by sheer luck, perhaps because Han Gaitian gave her a push.

Clinging tightly to a mast, he peered out and looked around, but all he could see was a jumble of shattered logs and blood-stained river water; there was no sign of the large ship.

"No, all gone! A fleet of several thousand people just vanished..."
