Chapter 695 - A Crushing Defeat
Bam! The gun barrel flashed and smoke billowed out of it. That pirate didn't have the chance to observe this new firearm before he got hit.
Zhu Junyang was already entangled in a fight with an old and skinny man. Someone who was able to fight properly with the cold and callous prince was truly an expert.
When he heard the noise of a gun going off where Xiaocao was, Zhu Junyang's expression immediately became colder and he decided not to play around with the opponent anymore. The long sword in his hands immediately stopped for a moment before it flashed like lightning and struck without any openings.
"The sword with no openings?!" The old expert was truly someone who was knowledgeable. He twisted his body to the right a few steps to avoid the slash from the sword but he was still a bit slow. Although he avoided getting his vitals hit, he still got wounded on his left side and a long gash, about the length of a foot, was now open.
"Hou Xiaoliang! Go escort the princess consort back to the rooms and guard her well there. If any people dare to get close, slaughter them immediately!" Zhu Junyang didn't press on his advantage and instead called over Hou Xiaoliang, who was currently fighting fiercely in high spirits, and gave him an important task.
"Yes! Whoever tries to harm the mistress will have to step over my dead body to do so!!" Hou Xiaoliang's eyes shone with a cold light and his entire body was drenched in the enemies' blood. He resembled a bloody battle god. The fact that he had been able to stay by Zhu Junyang's side for all of these years showed that he had his own skills. In terms of martial arts, he was quite talented and would be considered one of the top experts in the jianghu.
After seeing his capable subordinate escorting Xiaocao back to the room and guarding the entrance, Zhu Junyang felt himself relax a bit as he focused on fighting the people boarding the ship. This lass had clearly agreed to his proposal earlier but, in the blink of an eye, she had come out again to play around. She truly wasn't easy to take care of! Once he finished his task here, he needed to teach her a lesson!
An old man dressed entirely in white and whose hair had turned entirely white and looked to be in his sixties secretly gave a look to his subordinates. Then, he sneakily moved his feet and headed towards the middle part of the ship.
"Gentleman Huang, it's been many years since we've last seen each other. I trust you've been well?" Su Ran, who was also dressed entirely in white, held a long sword in his hands as he blocked the older man's way.
A sinister look immediately appeared in the white-clothed old man's eyes as he coldly huffed, "Little Ranzi...no, I should call you Chief Steward Su. Betraying your master and exchanging it for wealth and power. Do you not feel guilty about this at all?!"
"Gentleman Huang has the wrong idea! Both the blood of the Han flow within our bodies and the previous dynasty was not of the same ethnicity as us. They made the Han people slaves and didn't see the common people as human. I resent the previous dynasty's callous tyranny and switched masters. This is called having ambition. If you insist on calling me a traitor...you are the one who is selling yourself out to your Mongol Masters, betraying all of the Han people and betraying your own group. I wonder if the ancestors of the Huang Family know about this and whether they're able to rest peacefully now?"
Su Ran's white clothing floated in the air as he had an elegant smile on his face. His whole demeanor resembled that of a gentle scholar and people who didn't know him would have erroneously guessed nine times out of ten that he was one. Those people would all be wrong though! His sword always encountered blood when it was unsheathed and people died whenever he fought. He was infamous for his decisive cruelty.
