I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Chapter 260 194: Exploring the Bronze Sword City

Qin Yuesheng was racing across the sea, utilizing his water-walking abilities, quickly approaching the pirate ship's location.

"Quick! Something is off with this guy, stop him for me!" The one-eyed pirate couldn't care less and shouted immediately.

At once, his men pushed several rusty cannons, aiming them in the direction Qin Yuesheng was coming from.

"Hmm?" Seeing these people had cannons, such destructive weapons, Qin Yuesheng was somewhat surprised. As far as he knew, anything related to gunpowder was forbidden in the Great Tang, and non-government officials would be arrested and beheaded for using it.

How could these seemingly small-scale pirates possess so many cannons?

While Qin Yuesheng was puzzled, these people chose to fire without hesitation, and immediately several flashes of fire lit up from the cannon muzzles, with cannonballs arcing towards Qin Yuesheng.

For ordinary people, facing cannonballs is akin to facing certain death, but Qin Yuesheng was different. He reached out and grasped, and all the cannonballs came directly towards him.

Whether they would have hit him or not initially, now they were all converging on Qin Yuesheng.

When the cannonballs were just a few fingers away from Qin Yuesheng's palm, they suddenly stopped, and wisps of hot air from the high temperature appeared in Qin Yuesheng's eyes.

Swoosh!

With a casual flick, the cannonballs returned the way they came. However, Qin Yuesheng didn't want to sink the pirate ship, so he let the cannonballs land in the sea around the ship.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sea exploded instantly, with massive water columns shooting into the sky, drenching the pirates thoroughly.

"Damn it! This is a deity, can even throw cannonballs back." The one-eyed pirate was full of shock and disbelief, utterly astonished.

Such a method, he, as an ordinary pirate leader, had never witnessed, astonished beyond words.

In a few blinks of an eye, Qin Yuesheng was just a few meters from the pirate ship. He suddenly tiptoed and leaped, soaring high like a great peng spreading its wings, landing on the pirate ship's deck with an extremely graceful posture.

In an instant, all the pirates on the ship were dumbfounded, bewildered, and at a loss.

What to do now?

In ordinary circumstances, when someone climbed onto their ship, they would decidedly charge forward with weapons to slay the intruder, but in front of Qin Yuesheng, they dared not entertain such thoughts.

After all, they were facing a fierce person who could fling back cannonballs. Who would dare to challenge him without formidable tricks?

Unless they didn't want to live.

For a moment, everyone stood in place, not moving, looking around at each other, finally turning their gaze to the one-eyed pirate, their leader.

Qin Yuesheng also looked at him.

Instantly the one-eyed pirate's heart trembled, damn it, don't throw the blame on me.

"You are their leader?" Qin Yuesheng asked calmly.

"I, I am, esteemed hero, we were offensive just now, please don't hold it against us," the one-eyed pirate, understanding the art of adaptation, quickly softened seeing Qin Yuesheng's power was far beyond their capacity, with an incredibly servile attitude.

Qin Yuesheng originally had no intent to kill these people, coming to this ship was merely to bide time until the tide on the East Sea coast had receded.

He said slowly, "Call all your men over here, assemble on this deck, I have something to tell you."

After speaking, Qin Yuesheng directly found a wooden box to sit down on, looking completely at ease, as if here on a vacation.

The one-eyed pirate dared not speak up and had to comply with Qin Yuesheng's orders, calling all the pirates on the ship to the deck, thus no one cared to pursue the fleeing small fishing boat ahead.

Seeing the pirate ship suddenly slow down, the fishermen were puzzled.

This shouldn't be, under a clear sky, with no reefs in this sea and no naval fleets around, the pirates had no reason to give up their pursuit.

Although it was strange, the fishermen were naturally very happy, thus escaping a calamity and turning misfortune into fortune.

"Thank you, Sea Dragon King, thank you, Dragon King, I kowtow to you," Brother Sun immediately knelt on the ship's deck, bowing several times towards the sea.

All fishermen followed suit, attributing the pirate ship's sudden stop to the Sea Dragon King, the rumored lord of the East Sea.

Soon, the fishing boat quickly left this sea area.

"Hero, we have twenty-one people in total, you can count," the one-eyed pirate said with a smiling face, standing beside Qin Yuesheng.

In front of Qin Yuesheng, many pirates stood honestly at this moment. Witnessing Qin Yuesheng's inhuman act of flinging back cannonballs, these unruly, lawless villains became obedient and particularly quiet.

As the saying goes, it takes a villain to bring down a villain, that's the logic here.

"Is that all? Don't lie to me, if I find you're hiding anything, I'll chop your head off and feed it to the fish," Qin Yuesheng said with a faint smile, holding the Dragon-Slaying Sword to the one-eyed pirate's neck.
