Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008: The Majesty of Emperor Yu’s Sword

Government Forces’ warships weren’t all archaic embodiments.

On the sails of the small boat, a master had laid a Gathering Wind Formation, driven by Spirit Stones, gathering the Wind Element Force around, propelling the sails, and swiftly moving the entire hull.

Large ships, due to their heavy weight and volume, would require a huge consumption of Spirit Stones to use such sails, even the Prefectural Government Office couldn’t afford it.

The ship moved against the current, yet its speed was not slow at all.

Lin Shanshan squeezed next to Long Fei and took out her phone to show him, "Brother-in-law, do you see how beautiful the Yuzhou City night market is?"

Long Fei examined the photo and frowned, admonishing, "Did you go out last night?"

"Yes!"

Lin Shanshan put away her phone, shrugged her shoulders and said, "I was bored. Plus, you wouldn’t let me sleep with you."

Long Fei gloomily said, "Aren’t you being too bold?"

Lin Shanshan covered his mouth and said, "Don’t get agitated. Look, I’m fine! Last night I changed into a young master’s clothes, and no one took me for a woman."

She lifted her phone, showing him, "Look, I even went to the Hundred Flowers Building here. See these ladies? Graceful, charming, radiant—all sorts are there. After we’re done fighting the bandits today, I’ll take you there."

Long Fei sighed, truly at a loss for words.

Luckily, she was a girl; if she were a man, he couldn’t even imagine the trouble.

Frowning, he lectured, "Lin Shanshan, I’ll let go of what happened last night. If there’s a next time, we’ll see how I deal with you."

"Such a drag. Should have kept it to myself."

Lin Shanshan muttered under her breath and turned her head away, ignoring him.

Long Fei added from behind, "You might be annoyed, but I still have to scold you. Your sister entrusted you to me, and I must keep you safe. Look at you, going out without even a word. What if something happened? How would I explain it to your sister?"

"I’m hardly a little girl anymore," she replied half-heartedly.

As Long Fei tapped her head, he wore an expression that spoke volumes: ’This child is beyond teaching.’

Meanwhile, Ji Wanyu’s attention was all on the Water Bandits, as she continuously asked Wang Shouren, "General Wang, have we arrived yet?"

Upon reaching upstream, the river forked.

Wang Shouren confirmed the direction, instructing the steersman to take a turn and continue forward.

Holding the map, he indicated to Ji Wanyu, "Your Highness, don’t worry. Once we navigate past this winding stretch, fifty more li and we’ll be there."

A hundred li from the city, both banks were barren fields.

Judging by the height of the weeds, one could tell how long the land had been abandoned.

The Water Bandits had wreaked so much havoc here that those who could, fled; no one would farm in such a place.

Ji Wanyu indignantly said, "As long as the Water Bandits exist, the common folk can’t live in peace!"

The concerned-for-the-nation look on her face surprised Long Fei watching from behind.

Normally, this girl seemed madcap, but in crucial times, she proved to be someone who cared about the world.

The route’s infamous twists and turns were well named. The boat maneuvered back and forth; those navigating for the first time would surely get lost.

Fortunately, the boatman was very familiar with the area, navigating through a tributary of the river, suddenly entering a vast lake.

The lake was so expansive that it was impossible to see its entirety.

Given such an abundant flow from the Yellow River, one could only imagine the size of the lake.

The Water Bandits occupied Mystic Turtle Island in the center of the lake, surrounded by water on all sides, easy to defend but hard to attack.

The Government Forces had encircled it multiple times, each time being utterly defeated by the Water Bandits in the lake.

Eventually, when the Government Forces failed to penetrate the lake, the Water Bandits, on the other hand, began launching attacks from within.

At the entrance of the lake, the Water Bandits had placed spies on the shore.

As soon as the boat entered, someone immediately sent up a signal smoke to alert their companions on the lake.

Before long, a dozen warships approached from the shore, quickly blocking the bow of Long Fei and his group.

One man with a large sabre charged at the ship and shouted, "Who goes there?"

Wang Shouren bellowed, "I am Wang Shouren, the General of Eastern Zhenzhou, Yuzhou. I have come today to recruit and surrender you folks. If you have any sense, surrender quickly and I shall spare your lives."

The people on the ship glanced at each other and burst out laughing, "You foolish official, are you blind or out of your mind? With only these few people, you dare to threaten us?"

Each of the water bandits wore a look of contempt, paying no attention to the few people on the small boat.

Wang Shouren exclaimed, "How dare you! Have you forgotten what happened to Wang Batian?"

The water bandits on the ship scoffed, "Wang Batian is old news; our current leader is Li Gan. One day, we will storm into Yuzhou City to avenge our former leader. As for you, you’ll be meeting the Dragon King soon!"

While they were speaking, a warship had already turned to face them broadside, aiming its cannons at Long Fei’s small boat.

Over a hundred water bandits laughed loudly from their ship as the leader waved the command banner from the bow.

Bang, bang, bang! Several loud explosions tore through the sky.

Instantly, more than a dozen iron balls the size of bowls were launched, hurtling toward the small boat.

Wang Shouren cried out in fright, "Princess, take care!"

The iron balls moved swiftly, and within a range of hundreds of meters, they were powerful enough to tear the small boat apart.

"They know no repentance, they should die."

Ji Wanyu let out a cold snort, Emperor Yu’s Sword zinging as it shot forward, slashing towards them.

The white Sword Qi buzzed and trembled like a wave and swept forward.

In an instant, the several iron balls exploded into dust, and the fierce Sword Qi, unaffected, continued with destructive force, slashing across the attacking warship, leaving a crack several meters long.

The water bandits were startled, not expecting this maiden to be so formidable.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Sensing something was amiss, the leader immediately ordered his subordinates to retreat.

Ji Wanyu spoke urgently to Long Fei, "Aren’t you going to make a move?"

Long Fei gestured with his hand, "I don’t have a Magic Artifact; lend me your Emperor Yu’s Sword."

"Who would believe that?"

Ji Wanyu pouted, thinking to herself that Long Fei was too stingy, coming here to suppress bandits but reluctant to use a Magic Artifact.

Could he possibly be expecting the Magic Artifact to sprout a son while it sat unused?

Not wanting the water bandits to escape, she anxiously threw the sword to Long Fei.

In her hand, the sword was just an ordinary object, but as soon as it reached Long Fei’s hands, it vibrated like a bloodthirsty assassin, buzzing.

Long Fei casually threw the sword, much like the last time.

The blade emitted a blinding white light, causing everyone on the boat to squint.

Emperor Yu’s Sword buzzed loudly, creating a swirling mist of water wherever the Sword Qi passed.

It rushed towards the fleeing warships like a white water dragon sweeping them up.

The warships, each tens of meters long, had defensive power that could not be compared to Wang Batian’s warship from the other day.

As the water dragon reached them, the water bandits cried out, "It’s over, it’s over, jump off the ship!"

Boom, boom, boom!

A series of loud explosions lifted into the sky as immense forces swept across the warships like a crazed giant dragon crashing into them.

In an instant, the warships splintered; massive waves shot upward, blooming like fountains across the lake’s surface.

The Sword Qi wrapped the lake water aggressively and was exceedingly fierce.

The water bandits inside struggled and screamed, but in the end, not one survived, and like the warships, they were directly dispersed into a mist of blood.
