Dinner is served.

Xu Hao flashed and instantly appeared in front of Lai Pi She, grabbing him by the back of the neck like a chick and lifting him to the most conspicuous position at the bow of the boat.

"Big...Big Boss, spare me! I..." The scoundrel snake was so frightened that tears streamed down his face.

"Shut up." Xu Hao shoved a white flag into his hand, pointed at the speedboat opposite, and said, "Row it, wave it hard. Signal them that we're fat sheep waiting to be recruited, and ask Captain Wang to come over and 'inspect the goods'."

The scoundrel snake trembled as he raised the flag, but a surge of joy welled up inside him.

You idiot! As soon as Wang Mazi's boat comes alongside, I'll jump over and we'll coordinate an attack from the inside and outside. Let's see if you're still alive!

He waved the white flag frantically, as if afraid the other side wouldn't see it.

As expected, the opposing speedboat slowed down, adjusted its course, and moved closer to the side of the Zhenyuan.

Xu Hao stood in the shadows, feeling the hunger trembling from the ship's deck beneath his feet, and gently licked his lips.

"Luo Meng, hard to port, cross the gunway to meet them."

"But the boss might run into..."

"We're going to crash into them." Xu Hao's voice was as cold as ice. "Show us your teeth and get ready to eat."

The rain was torn to shreds by the gale, stinging my face.

Wang Mazi stood at the bow of the No. 7 speedboat, wiping the rain from his face. He squinted at the rogue snake waving a white flag across the way, his mouth practically twisted in a grin.

"Boss, these guys are scared out of their wits." The henchman next to him toyed with the water-splitting spike in his hand, a mocking look on his face. "Looks like with the old hag dead, the rest are all spineless cowards."

Wang Mazi grinned maliciously: "It's good to be a pushover, saves me the trouble. Give the order to lower half the sails and move closer! Keep your eyes peeled, don't rush to kill anyone after boarding, pick out the valuables and women, and the rest... hehe."

On the Zhenyuan, Xu Hao stood with one foot on the gunwale, watching the Blood Flag speedboat getting closer and closer, a somewhat eerie smile playing on his lips.

"Big...Big Boss, they're coming, should I...?" Rascal Snake trembled as he tried to put down the flag.

"Keep shaking, don't stop." Xu Hao kicked him in the butt. "The guests haven't even sat down yet, there's no reason to take away the menu."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Luo Meng, who was shirtless and muscular.

"Luo Meng, aim carefully, hard to left, ram them!"

Luo Meng gripped the helm tightly with both hands, the raging bull tattoo on his back seemingly coming to life with the bulging of his muscles: "Hold on tight!"

Crunch-!

The Zhenyuan emitted a dull thud that made your teeth ache, not like wood breaking, but more like a hungry beast grinding its teeth.

The ship tilted sharply to the left, its bony barbs below the waterline slicing through the waves. The seemingly cumbersome ship suddenly burst forth with an abnormal speed, and the black iron ram at the bow gleamed with a cold, eerie light, pointing directly at the Blood Flag Patrol Team.

Wang Mazi was dreaming of getting rich when he suddenly felt the deck beneath his feet shaking strangely. Looking up, he saw that the once docile "fat sheep" had somehow transformed into a steel behemoth with bared fangs, crushing him at a speed he had never seen before.

"Madmen! They're all madmen!" Wang Mazi's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets, his voice hoarse from shouting. "Change course! Change course now!"

late.

Boom!

A loud bang drowned out the thunder.

The Zhenyuan's menacing ram head pierced the side of the fast boat without any resistance, like a hot knife cutting into butter.

Wood chips flew everywhere, mixed with a few short screams.

The immense inertia caused the two ships to become stuck together, with the broken pieces of wood meshing together and making a screeching sound.

"Men, dinner's ready!"

Xu Hao laughed loudly, exerted force with his feet, and like a black cannonball, used the skillful momentum of the "Surging Waves Step" to leap directly onto the opponent's tilting deck.

The Qi and blood of the Yi Jin Jing surged within his body, and the hundred-refined steel saber in his hand was no longer a simple slash, but rather carried the unique spiral force of the "Turning Rivers Force".

A pirate who had just gotten up raised his knife to block the attack.

when!

As the two blades clashed, the pirate felt a strange, drilling force rushing from the hilt of the blade straight to his heart. His tiger's mouth was instantly shattered, and his entire arm twisted like a pretzel.

Before he could even scream, Xu Hao's blade had already slashed across his neck.

There are no fancy moves, only the purest killing efficiency.

"This is a tough one! Form a battle formation!" Wang Mazi was an old hand after all. After his initial shock, he immediately drew his serrated knife from his waist, trying to organize a counterattack.

The pirates on the Zhenyuan had been thoroughly disciplined by Xu Hao's ruthlessness over the past few days. Seeing their leader so valiant, they all roared and jumped over, eager to beat a drowning dog.

Even Chen Yuanzhi rushed forward with red eyes.

The scholar, having seemingly unleashed all the pent-up frustration of his journey, gripped a dagger and began stabbing wildly at a pirate whose leg had been broken. Blood splattered all over his face, but he didn't bother to wipe it away, muttering, "Let you chase me! Let you chase me!"

Seeing the chaos, the scoundrel darted around and slipped away along the gunwale towards the stern.

There's a spare lifeboat hanging here. Once the rope is untied and it's thrown into the sea, who will be able to find him in the dark?

If Wang Mazi wins, he'll say he went to get reinforcements; but if this evil star wins... ptooey, if this evil star wins, he'll have already run far away!

He had only taken two steps when a sharp pain suddenly shot through his left leg.

"Click."

Luo Meng appeared behind him without him noticing and broke his shinbone with a single stomp.

"Ah—!" Rascal Snake screamed and rolled around on the deck.

Luo Meng bent down, pulled him back like a dead dog, and casually nailed him to the mast: "The show's not over yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

It turns out that when Xu Hao ordered Luo Meng to ram the boat, he secretly instructed Luo Meng to keep a close eye on Lai Pi She and not let him escape.

Just then, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The blood flowing on the deck did not drain away through the drain holes; instead, it seemed to be attracted by something, meandering and seeping into the gaps in the Zhenyuan's planks.

Glug, glug.

The ship emitted a series of chilling swallowing sounds. The cracks caused by the impact healed at a visible speed after absorbing the blood, and the black wood grain glowed with an eerie red light, as if the entire ship had come alive at this moment, greedily sucking up this blood and flesh offering.

"A demon...a demon ship!"

The remaining Bloodbond Alliance pirates were terrified at the sight, and could barely hold their knives.

This isn't a war; it's clearly delivering food to this monster ship!

The battle ended faster than expected.

Fifteen minutes later, only broken planks and a few floating corpses remained on the sea.

Xu Hao stood on the deck piled with corpses, letting the rain wash away the bloodstains on his body.

He flicked the blade, his gaze sweeping over the silent crowd before finally settling on the slowly unfolding picture in his mind.
