Chapter 167 Fierce Battle on the Lake
Liu Xiaofeng placed his hands on the deck at the bow of the boat, and the powerful energy emanating from his body surged down the hull and into the lake below.
The next moment, a loud bang came from the bottom of the cabin, causing the entire ship to shake violently.
As ripples appeared on the water, the boats, which had been stationary, began to drift again.
At the same time, a large amount of aquatic plants surfaced and densely covered the side of the boat.
Liu Xiaofeng actually managed to break all the water plants under the entire ship by his own strength!
"Aren't you going to set sail!"
After doing all this, Liu Xiaofeng was exhausted, but he still shouted towards the cabin.
Upon hearing the command, the boatman below the cabin immediately began rowing again, and the entire large ship started moving forward at an exaggerated speed.
Upon seeing this, Liu Xiaofeng showed no sign of amusement. Instead, he ordered all the armored soldiers to stand by and prepare for any unexpected events that might occur at any moment.
Liu Xiaofeng was also starting to regret it.
He never expected that his trip to Baihe County to propose marriage would result in an ambush on the way.
It is clear that this attack was meticulously planned, with both the timing and location being very well chosen.
Seventy li from here is the ferry crossing of Baihe County. He had traveled a long way to get here, and his vigilance had greatly decreased.
"Damn it, there's definitely something wrong with this Yin-Yang Palace!"
Liu Xiaofeng was seething with hatred. He had heard that the Yin-Yang Palace was not good at governance, but he thought it was an exaggeration. Now it seemed that it was even worse.
Just then, several bamboo rafts suddenly floated on the river, each carrying two or three people, and were slowly sailing against the current toward the ship.
"grown ups!"
Upon seeing this, the armored soldier next to him quickly asked Liu Xiaofeng a question.
"Kill them all! Long-range arrows!"
Liu Xiaofeng's eyes were cold as he gave the order.
Regardless of who's on those bamboo rafts, he's in a bad mood today, so they all have to die!
Soon, armored soldiers arrived at the bow of the ship with bows and arrows.
These armored soldiers were a motley crew of different types – some were warriors, others were worshippers – and the mix of them was rather incongruous.
This is because Taiping Palace does not have the control methods of the Yin-Yang Palace's Black Armor Guards, and their rule over Yizhou relies on their terrifying weapon-forging ability.
At that moment, the armored soldiers stood at the bow of the ship and suddenly drew back their longbows. Divine light flowed over these longbows, reflecting the winter sun overhead and exuding a mysterious aura.
"Buzz!"
The next moment, the armored soldiers released their bowstrings, and long arrows pierced the air, flying towards the people on the bamboo raft.
As if they had anticipated this, the people on the bamboo raft took out rectangular shields and placed them in front of them on the raft.
Although the arrows were traveling at high speed this year, they still broke off and fell into the water after hitting these oddly shaped shields.
In an instant, the water's surface was covered with ripples from the falling arrows, accompanied by the "swoosh" sound of them entering the water.
"Mysterious Shield!! Chaotic God Cult!!"
Standing at the bow of the ship, Liu Xiaofeng immediately recognized the shield as belonging to their old rival, the Chaotic God Cult, and his eyes turned red.
"I'm furious! You bunch of rebels, you still followed me even after I've arrived in Qingzhou!!"
Liu Xiaofeng roared, then reached into his pocket and pulled out a spherical object, holding it in the air.
If you get close, you'll see that the sphere in Liu Xiaofeng's hand is slowly wriggling, just like a living thing.
The next moment, a fleshy spike emerged from the ball of flesh and suddenly pierced his arm, contracting rhythmically as if breathing.
As Liu Xiaofeng felt the tingling sensation in his arm, dark lines appeared on his clean face, and his aura increased dramatically, as if he had taken a stimulant.
"It's a nightingale!!"
Someone on the bamboo raft shouted, and then everyone hid behind their shields, not daring to show their bodies at all.
The next moment, a small opening appeared in the fleshy ball in Liu Xiaofeng's hand, like a small mouth opening, and then a shrill scream was heard.
The ripples spread across the lake surface instantly, and the rapidly flowing air currents stirred up ripples on the originally calm lake surface. In the end, a huge wave was stirred up with the ship as the center!
All the bamboo rafts spun rapidly in place like leaves under the force of the waves, and the members of the Chaos God Cult on them lost their footing and fell into the lake.
At this moment, Ding Yi, who was hiding behind a big tree on the shore, was quite surprised to see this scene.
His gaze was drawn to the fleshy ball in Liu Xiaofeng's hand; his intuition told him that the thing must contain a lot of malevolent energy.
Before he arrived, he had learned some basic information about Taiping Palace from Liufeng.
This Taiping Palace is different from other divine palaces; its supernatural powers do not lie in the person, but in the crafting of artifacts.
The people of Taiping Palace would use their own flesh and blood to create all sorts of powerful but malevolent items, just like the meatball that Liu Xiaofeng was holding right now.
After overturning all the people on the bamboo rafts into the lake, Liu Xiaofeng burst into wild laughter, grabbed the Nightingale, and pressed it against his forehead.
Immediately afterwards, the nightingale's open mouth firmly adhered to the top of Liu Xiaofeng's head, as if a huge tumor had suddenly grown out of nowhere on Liu Xiaofeng's head.
"You!! All of you must die!!"
Liu Xiaofeng roared and leaped into the air. This time, his speed was like a phantom, instantly covering a distance of more than ten meters and arriving on a bamboo raft on the lake.
Immediately afterwards, he suddenly swung his palms out into the water, and muffled sounds came from beneath the surface of the water all around, while the entire lake began to tremble violently.
The next moment, a large amount of red liquid floated to the surface, accompanied by severed limbs and bits of flesh. Clearly, Liu Xiaofeng's indiscriminate attack had killed many members of the Chaotic God Cult.
At the same time, the armored soldiers on the warship continued to draw their bows and shoot arrows, firing a volley at the area where the Chaos God Cult members had just fallen into the water.
The arrows shot into the water like cannonballs, and the resistance of the lake water did not seem to reduce the power of the arrows much. It is likely that these bows and arrows were also made by Taiping Palace and had the ability to avoid water.
Just as the situation was turning against Liu Xiaofeng, two figures suddenly emerged from the water on either side of him, attacking him from the left and right.
"I knew you guys were hiding down there!!"
Upon seeing this, Liu Xiaofeng's expression turned ferocious, the tumor on his head contracted again, and the aura emanating from Liu Xiaofeng strangely increased a few more times.
The next moment, Liu Xiaofeng unleashed both palms, colliding with the longswords and sabers of the two attackers.
Liu Xiaofeng, who had withstood the attacks of the two men with his bare hands, not only did not fall into a disadvantageous position, but his laughter became even more rampant. Then, his body trembled, the bamboo raft under his feet shattered into pieces, and a huge gust of air swirled up from his body, enveloping the two men around him.
