Chapter 1003: Chapter 1003: A Sword Breaks the Warship

In the midst of the water bandits’ warships, a cacophony of conch horn calls resounded incessantly.

Wang Batian saw that the situation was turning sour, so he issued the command to retreat.

Over a hundred warships began to head upstream. To Long Fei’s surprise, their propulsion was similar to that of a windmill.

This contraption, akin to a propeller, kept churning in the water.

Harnessing the reaction force, it drove the warships against the current.

As for the official families’ warships, they still relied on oars for propulsion.

A single massive warship required the simultaneous rowing of hundreds of oars just to slowly advance.

Such primitive technology was no match for the water bandits.

Long Fei made no move to stop them, allowing the water bandits to leave.

Ji Wanyu stomped her feet in frustration, helplessly watching the warships depart.

Wang Batian, aboard his warship, laughed triumphantly, "Little lady, you can’t do a thing to me. Next time we meet, I will surely take you as my camp’s wife."

Left with no choice, Ji Wanyu called out to Long Fei, pleading desperately, "Can’t you help me at all?"

Long Fei had his own plans, but since Ji Wanyu pleaded so earnestly, he felt he should give her some face.

He stretched out his hand and said to her, "Give me your sword."

Without hesitation, Ji Wanyu handed over Emperor Yu’s Sword to Long Fei.

The moment Long Fei grasped it, the blade resonated with a hum and instantly flashed with a blinding Mysterious Light.

"Earth Immortal Sword, truly living up to its reputation!"

Among Long Fei’s magic artifacts, he did not possess a sword of such caliber.

The Tai’a Sword he used to wield in the outside world was merely a Divine Instrument crafted by Ou Yezi.

Divine Instruments and Earth Immortal Level magic artifacts were still a notch apart.

Wang Batian had already led the water bandits to retreat a distance of three to five hundred meters.

Long Fei swung his arm and hurled the Earth Immortal Sword toward Wang Batian’s warship.

The Sword Qi was overwhelming, sending out bright flashes in mid-air, drawing the eyes of all the water bandits.

The water bandits behind Wang Batian furrowed their brows and questioned, "What are these people up to?"

"Why are they throwing a sword at us?"

"Do they really think they can deal with us using that sword?"

"What a joke, our ships are protected by a defense formation; have these people lost their minds?"

The group discussed among themselves, watching intently as Emperor Yu’s Sword plunged down onto the defense formation.

Soon, they realized their mistake.

For this sword carried a pressure akin to that of Mount Tai.

The Sword Qi drove downward, causing the entire warship to sink more than ten meters into the water, submerging half of the vessel.

This was only the initial display of power; the true force was yet to come.

Wave after wave of Sword Qi took form in mid-air, miraculously creating an aqua-colored tornado.

The tornado, like a whirlwind, kept pulling in surrounding moisture, propelling Emperor Yu’s Sword downward to break the formation.

In just a moment, a water tornado towering a hundred meters high formed above the bandit leader’s warship.

Emperor Yu’s Sword acted like a drill bit, spinning rapidly within the water tornado.

Tremendous forces pressed down with the spiral motion, all focusing on Emperor Yu’s Sword.

The Formation Flags on the ship fluttered wildly, frightening the hundreds of water bandits into shouting, "It’s over, it’s over, the array is going to break."

"Run for it!"

"Let’s get out of here!"

The group was as terrified as ants in a frenzy, each trying to leap from the ship.

But the moment they touched the array battling against Emperor Yu’s Sword, they were instantly torn to shreds by the clashing forces.

Wang Batian finally felt the threat of death, and with the other leaders, he panicked and yelled, "It’s over, what do we do now?"

"We all exert our strength together, maybe there’s a slim chance of survival."

"Let’s fight with all we’ve got!"

Wang Batian took the lead, offering up a large saber above.

The other leaders followed, bringing out their own magic artifacts, which collided with Emperor Yu’s Sword that was contesting with the Formation in mid-air.

There was a muffled boom, and as soon as the leaders’ magic artifacts touched the defensive barrier of the Formation, they were also abruptly shattered to smithereens by the engulfing power inside, completely powerless to fight back.

Boom, boom, boom!

Successive explosions sounded like heavenly thunder bursting forth, the Formation Flags on the ship finally couldn’t withstand such immense pressure, and one after another exploded into pieces.

The Formation was consequently broken, actually being destroyed from the front by Emperor Yu’s Sword.

With force breaking the array, even the strongest Formation is nothing but a decoration in the face of absolute power.

Sword Qi swept through mightily, and without the protection of the Formation, the recoil was entirely pressed onto the warship.

The warship, carved from hardwood and patterned with arrays, was as sturdy as a steel warship.

At this moment, it was crushed by the Water Dragon swirling in the sky.

The two to three hundred meter warship was violently shaken into splinters and sawdust, with the surrounding water spraying violently into the air.

The tremendous power, along with the Sword Qi, exterminated all life, and within it, Wang Batian, using Essential Qi to protect himself, let out a scream and turned into a mist of blood mixed within the Water Dragon.

The other leaders and minions were even less of a match, over a hundred lives, in the blink of an eye, were all devoured and torn apart by the Water Dragon.

Long Fei raised his hand and retracted the sword.

After the Water Dragon dispersed, a field of debris and wood chips remained on the water’s surface, covering an area of a full thousand meters.

The water bandits were dumbstruck as they watched the scene unfold before them, and the government warships that were coming up from behind were also stunned by the sight.

This was a warship that was over two hundred meters long, and moreover, it was built with ironwood from this world and reinforced with defensive arrays, yet it was so easily turned to dust by Long Fei.

Murong Chong was also shocked at heart, being the highest in Cultivation Level there.

However, he didn’t dare claim to have such strength. He looked at Long Fei’s expression; there wasn’t even a hint of exerting his full effort, as if dealing with an ant, merely tossing the longsword had summoned such terrifying power.

Ji Wanyu curled her lips slightly, her dissatisfaction with Long Fei eased a bit.

If those water bandits had been let go again, she estimated she would be so infuriated she wouldn’t be able to eat for a month.

She guessed right; Long Fei’s Cultivation Level within the Nascent Soul Realm was clearly unfathomable, yet he had deliberately not used his full strength.

She was certain that if Long Fei had fought with all his might, not a single one of these water bandits would be able to stand a punch.

After all, he usually killed his enemies with his Dharma Laksana.

Yet this time, his Dharma Laksana didn’t even appear.

Long Fei returned Emperor Yu’s Sword to her and smiled lightly at her, "Nice sword."

Unwilling to let it go, Ji Wanyu asked, "What about those water bandits?"

She pointed at the water bandits’ warships that were frantically fleeing upstream.

Long Fei shrugged his shoulders and said, "These warships are no ordinary objects. Destroying one nearly depleted my spiritual power, there’s no way I could destroy the rest."

"I don’t believe you."

Ji Wanyu didn’t believe him, but she didn’t press the matter further.

Now, the more she observed Long Fei, the more he seemed like a treacherous court official from a play.

Commander Wang Shouren on the warship bowed repeatedly to Long Fei, as a third-rank military officer, he never had the chance to come into contact with a Nascent Soul Realm expert.

The sky was turning dark soon, and he called everyone to head back to Yuzhou City, saying he would report to the Governor and set up a banquet to thank them all.

Long Fei looked at the sky; it wasn’t a good time to travel at night. After exchanging glances with Ji Wanyu, he accepted Wang Shouren’s offer.

Everyone boarded the warship and followed Wang Shouren downstream.

The remnants of a water bandit warship came by, with its cannons still attached.

Long Fei, out of curiosity, salvaged it to study the cannons, wanting to know if this world had seen the advent of firearms.

Lin Shanshan sneaked over and inquired with spiritual power, her curiosity towards Long Fei undisguised, "Brother-in-law, why were you so soft this time, letting go of those Songshan Sect disciples and a bunch of water bandits?"

Long Fei patted her on the head and chuckled, muttering only one phrase, "Nurturing bandits to bolster own strength. If these water bandits were all wiped out, what would we rely on for a living in the future?"
