"Open the side door! Set the ship on fire!"

As Zhu Shunshui gave the order to counterattack.

Holes were opened on both sides of the village gate for small boats to pass through, and one fireboat after another filled with kerosene rushed towards Zhengxing's fleet against the wind and waves.

Zhu Shunshui is also a genius.

The fireboat was in the shape of a shuttle, with a disciple practicing the wave-removing internal energy at the stern, transmitting vital energy to the wheels on both sides of the ship.

Under this operation, the fire ship was extremely fast, like a barracuda.

This is Zhu Shunshui’s trump card, which has always been successful in dealing with strong enemies.

The pirate mumbled to Mazu and prayed, "Damn it, I must blow these bastards up."

Unfortunately, at this time, the stern of the Zhengxing warship suddenly launched a crossbow, and the heavy crossbow arrows in the sky instantly engulfed the fire ships and sank them.

Seeing that they had failed, there were endless sighs in the Black Water Village.

At this time, the warships of Heishui Village and Zhengxing seemed unable to do anything to each other. The cannons could not destroy the village gate, and the fireboats could not get close, so they were in a stalemate.

"Don't worry, Boss! I've observed the sky and there will definitely be a typhoon in the evening! These bastards don't want to sink the ship to feed the fish, so they will definitely withdraw their troops after a while!"

Zhu Guanshui shook his head helplessly.

"May Mazu bless us and bring the typhoon soon."

In the past, pirates prayed that the typhoon would not come, but now they can only give in under the pressure of a powerful enemy.

However, Zhengxing's fleet made another move at this time! A flash of lightning seemed to emerge from one of the warships.

The lightning is getting closer!
It was actually like the devil - the mighty power of swallowing thunder!

Song Tianen summoned the Yang World Exorcist Sword, and the infinite true energy of the Sky Treasure Mirror produced extreme thunder by swallowing thunder, rendering the Yang World Exorcist Sword into a sword of heavenly punishment with a bright purple light.

Under the horrified eyes of Zhu Shunshui and others, he then slashed with his sword!

With this blow of the sword, the wall of the village gate that was dozens of feet long and indestructible collapsed immediately, causing a huge wave.

"kill!"

When the waves calmed down a bit, the warships took the opportunity to charge in.
This blow not only cut off the gate of Heishui Village, but also cut off the last hope in Zhu Shunshui's heart. He watched helplessly as the indestructible gate of the village was reduced to ruins under Song Tianen's knife, and an indescribable despair surged in his heart.

"Damn it, let's fight them!" Zhu Shunshui roared, his eyes flashing with determination. He knew that the survival of Heishui Village depended on this one move. He waved the hook in his hand and led the remaining pirates to rush towards the warship of Zhengxing Gang.

However, the warships of the Zhengxing Gang did not give them much chance. The roar of the cannons sounded again, and the cannonballs hit the pirates of the Black Water Village like meteorites, tearing their defenses to pieces. The screams and wails of the pirates rose and fell, resounding through the sky.

Zhu Shunshui's heart sank when he saw this. He knew that the pirates' flesh and blood alone could not withstand the artillery attack of the Zhengxing Gang. He looked around and saw that the Black Water Village was already a sea of ​​fire, and the bodies and broken limbs of the pirates were everywhere. He took a deep breath, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Brothers, follow me!" Zhu Shunshui shouted, leading the remaining pirates to launch a final charge towards the warship of the Zhengxing Gang. They waved their weapons and shouted as they rushed towards the warship.

However, the warships of the Zhengxing Gang did not give them any chance. The roar of the artillery became more intense, tearing the pirates' charge to pieces.

Under the cannon, all the pigs are just futile cannon fodder.

Zhu Shunshui watched the pirates around him fall one by one, and an indescribable grief and anger surged in his heart.

This is all the wealth he has to dominate the East.

However, Heishui Village was already powerless to recover.

At this moment, Song Tianen appeared in his sight. He was holding the Yangshi Exorcist Knife and wearing the Thunder Swallowing Armor, like a god descending from heaven. His eyes revealed indifference and ridicule, as if he was watching an insignificant farce.

Zhu Shunshui, who looked embarrassed at the moment, raised his knife and roared: "Cold-faced Demon Lord, I have no grudge against you in the past, and no hatred in the present! Why do you want to kill me?"

Song Tianen sneered: "What hatred do the villagers of the coastal provinces have against your village?"

"It's just that the small fish eat the shrimp, and the big fish eat the small fish."

"What a law of the jungle. Today I am stronger than you, which just proves what you said above!"

Zhu Shunshui was furious when he heard this: "I will die with you!"

That being said, the cunning Zhu Shunshui made a feint and then jumped into the sea. He, Zhu Shunshui, could sink a hundred feet to the bottom of the sea in one breath and go an hour without breathing. He had avoided many crises in this way.

But obviously Zhu Shunshui underestimated Song Tianen's methods!
Zizizi!
Song Tianen waved his hand casually.

The blade flashes with lightning, and cuts the sea in one stroke!

The purple blade broke through the sea water and directly fell on Zhu Shunshui.

"Ah!" Zhu Shunshui screamed miserably as his body was cut by the blade of the Yangshi Exorcist Sword and instantly turned into a bloody mist.

With the death of Zhu Shunshui, the pirates in Heishui Village surrendered one after another. They knew that without Zhu Shunshui's leadership, they could not resist the attack of Zhengxing Gang. The soldiers of Zhengxing Gang rushed into Heishui Village and killed the remaining pirates one by one.

The leader has spoken; no pirates should be left alive; all must be killed!

In this battle, Heishui Village, which had been a scourge to the southeastern coast for 30 years and even Li Chenzhou and the imperial court were helpless against, was wiped out by Zhengxing in half a day.

Among them, they obtained countless gold and silver, hundreds of warships, and most importantly, Zhengxing mastered the southeast waterway. Since then, the economy has been worry-free and its power has become increasingly powerful!

This caused all kinds of suspicion among the underworld and the imperial court.

The martial arts conference was held under such a strange and turbulent situation.——
Today's Lin'an City is much more lively than ever before.

Just because there are many more heroes from all over the world in the capital these days!
They all came for one thing.

That is the "Martial Arts Conference" held by the royal family

How many years has it been since the Middle-earth Wulin held a martial arts conference? Twenty years? Thirty years? Forty years?
The last martial arts conference was held to destroy the towering giant demon Yan Kuangtu.

From then on, the Central Plains martial arts world was severely damaged, and the original six major sects fell into decline.

As for the Jinfengxiyu Tower, Liufenbantang and even the Quanli Gang that have risen in the past decade, although they were once very powerful, their influence only radiated around Lin'an. Five years ago, Li Chenzhou intended to hold a martial arts conference to become the leader, but except for those third-rate gangs, no other major factions participated, which made a big joke, and no one has held it since then.

Previous martial arts conferences were all held to eliminate a certain demon or a certain demonic organization, but this time it was unusual.

Just because this martial arts conference was hosted by the royal family.

In the past, these free-spirited martial arts heroes would never have obeyed the court's arrangements.

But for this martial arts conference, the imperial court spent a rare amount of money.

This time, a leader of the martial arts world will be elected, whose status is comparable to that of a first-rank official in the imperial court; three deputy leaders will have status comparable to that of second-rank officials.

The royal arsenal was also opened, and all food, clothing, lodging and transportation were borne by the court.

The territories vacated by the Power Gang, the Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower, and the Six and a Half Points Hall in the capital will become the new martial arts headquarters to enshrine the four leaders.

Of course, holding a martial arts conference requires a name, and the name is very high-sounding, saying that it is to deal with the invasion of the Jin Kingdom's martial arts world.

Everyone is saying that the position of the leader of the martial arts world has been decided to be the Divine Marquis Zhuge Zhengwo, and the deputy leader is the Cold-Faced Demon Lord; but there are still positions for the eight elders!

The money is in place, the status is given, the martial arts are open, and the key is that there is also the reputation of national justice in the martial arts world; it satisfies those who love money, fame, power, reputation, and even martial arts fanatics.

The Zhao family's generous move caused a sensation in the entire martial arts world of the Southern Song Dynasty.

All the wealthy people in the world gathered in the capital.

Just looking at the large sects, there are the Tang Sect in Sichuan, the sect composed entirely of women called Suiyunyuan Huinuocheng, Feiyutang, the time-honored poison-using Wen family, the Daobing Society, the Dafang Sect, the Kuacang Sect, the Qingdi Sect, the Huangshan Sect, the Yandang Sect, the Nine Alliances, Kongtong, Shaolin, Wudang, Tianshan, Kunlun, Xuehe, and the old overlord-level gang Zhanjingtang, with all its elite members from the sect leader down.

And those ordinary gang families include: Little Ant, Five Flying Gold, Seven Cold Valley, Qianye Villa Ge Family, Taiping Gate Liang Family, Cross Wisdom Sword Liang Family, Golden Signboard Fang Family, Poor Knife and Evil Sword Su Family, Lanting Chi Family and so on.

Although there were many martial artists, the imperial court seemed to be well prepared and had requisitioned a large number of houses in the east of the city to accommodate them.

However, how could these martial artists bear the loneliness? After finally coming to Lin'an City, they naturally had to "check in" at the former site of the Quanli Gang.

Almost everyone was extremely shocked by the ruins left behind by the battle between the Cold-Faced Demon Lord and Li Chenzhou!

All those guys who thought they had great powers and wanted to make a name for themselves were silenced when they saw the ruins that looked like a natural disaster. Is this the destructive power that a normal human being can produce?

Of course, there were also some guys who didn't believe in it and wanted to move Li Chenzhou's old stele, but without exception, they were all turned into a ball of smelly meat and minced meat under the formless sword energy!

The local martial arts masters of Lin'an all shook their heads: "Alas, no matter how much persuasion they use, who is the unlucky one today? The sword energy of the stone tablet has killed hundreds of people, why doesn't the sword energy weaken at all? The methods of the Cold-Faced Demon Lord are really incredible!"

However, there are also some ambitious guys who meditate at the old site day and night!

The soul seemed to be resonating with the remaining energy in the old site, and its martial arts level was improved.

Among them was the Nine-Manifested Divine Dragon Qi Shaoshang, who comprehended a move called the Rain of Hatred Sword from the hatred for the tragic death of his good friend Su Mengzhen and the remaining energy in the ruins.

Of course, it was not just the Central Plains martial arts world and the government that were shaken, but the Jin Kingdom's foreign embassy in Lin'an was also naturally affected.

Wu Toda withdrew his gaze from the second-floor pavilion, sneered and said to a silver-haired man beside him: "You Han people only know how to do these superficial things! A group of wandering wanderers can accomplish things, why did your Song Dynasty lose half of its territory to our Great Jin Dynasty? What's even more tragic is that both emperors fell into the hands of our dynasty, hahahaha!"

The silver-haired man sneered, "Special Envoy, you seem to have forgotten that it was the martial arts heroes like Xiao Qiushui, whom you look down upon, who suppressed your country for twenty years without making any progress!"

"Bai Choufei, you seem to be confused about your own identity. You don't even think about the fact that if I hadn't taken you in, you would be a stray dog ​​now!"

The silver-haired man turned out to be Bai Choufei. It was really unexpected that this man did not go to Sichuan and Shu to rebuild the "Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower" according to Su Mengzhen's last wish, but instead defected to the enemy country despite the great condemnation of the world.

But if you think about it, you can understand that his personality is no different from Zhao Gao. He only cares about power! He will do anything to gain power, even if it means forgetting his roots, as long as he can climb to the top.

Bai Choufei sneered, "Special Envoy, don't make yourself sound so great. You want to build a career and I want territory and troops. We are just taking what we need. You angered me for no reason. Be careful, I will leave now and delay Marshal Yin Shuke's plan. Let's see who will suffer in the end, you or me?"

As a Jin Dynasty nobleman, when was Wutoda threatened by a Han Chinese he despised the most?

I wish I could draw my knife and chop the Han guy in front of me into pieces right now!
But if we kill him, the plan cannot be successfully completed!

He suppressed his anger and said in a muffled voice, "Okay! I was impulsive. I'm sorry first, but Bai Choufei, I need to make it clear to you that the money and grain of my Great Jin Empire are not so easy to earn. If you take the money but don't do the job well! I believe you should understand the methods of my Great Jin Empire very well!"

Bai Choufei raised his lips and said, "Don't worry, Special Envoy. I have already made a double arrangement! I will make sure that your country gets what it wants for the one million silver taels it spent!"

Wu Toda made a gesture of invitation: "I want to listen carefully, Bai Choufei, what preparations have you made?"

A hint of viciousness flashed in Bai Choufei's eyes! He stretched out his finger.

I have placed thunderbolts at the venue of the martial arts conference! When the conference begins, I will detonate those thunderbolts, and finally with a bang! All the civil and military officials, the dog emperor, and those martial artists in the Central Plains will be reduced to ashes. By then, you will be the first hero of the Jin Kingdom's sweep of the Southern Song Dynasty!"

"Wait! Do you think the Imperial City is your home? You can place those Thunderbolts wherever you want?"

"Ha! This entire court is like a sieve. I naturally have helpers in my palace!"

Wu Toda looked at Bai Choufei deeply, and saw no lies in his eyes. When he thought of the wonderful spectacle of half of Lin'an City being blown up into the sky, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

At the same time, he thought to himself: "This kid has such a confident expression, he must be serious! Who is his ally in the palace? I am really curious!"
-
The royal villa is ten miles west of the imperial city of Lin'an.

The place is surrounded by beautiful mountains and clear waters, and is also the place where the imperial guards usually train. The ground is flat and spacious, which is perfect for hosting martial arts conferences.

In the early morning, one thousand cavalrymen from the capital city served as scouts, and three thousand imperial guards guarded the royal carriage and began to set out for the royal villa.

There are four great detectives on the left and right of the royal carriage, scattered in the four corners of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, to protect the emperor!
On the sedan chair, Zhao Gou gently lifted a piece of cloth curtain, and he could clearly see that there were a large number of Lin'an citizens and martial artists from various factions on both sides of the road.

When they saw Zhao Gou's true face, they all knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live Zhao Gou".

The voice of "Long live" resounded throughout the heaven and earth! (End of this chapter)
