"Mr. Ning."
"Why are you hitting him?"
Ning Beichen had saved the captain and his wife’s lives, and seeing Ning Beichen’s head bleeding, they couldn’t stand it. Even facing these ravenous attackers, they spoke up for Ning Beichen.
"Hmph! Disobeying orders, and I haven't killed him yet, which is mercy. Do you two want to try it too?"
The person who attacked Ning Beichen glared at Chen Tian and his wife, filled with murderous intent.
They had come here to cause trouble, not to be guests. Even if there was no reason, they would find one to lash out, and Ning Beichen was the chicken they used to make an example of.
However, what he didn't know was that the chicken intended to kill as a warning might not be a chicken, but a tiger.
"Kill them!"
Just then, one of the men suddenly gave an order.
Ning Beichen had originally planned to wait, thinking the best approach was to let these people capture them onto that large armed ship before making his move.
But these people clearly had no intention of letting them go, nor of capturing them, but of executing them on the spot.
This made Ning Beichen unable to hold back any longer. With a movement of his body, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, his first strike was a fatal blow.
These people could only see a phantom flickering among them, and some couldn't even see the phantom, let alone attack.
Before the people on the ship could react, they saw that all the attackers had fallen. They couldn't even open fire, let alone react.
"Don't be afraid, you all go back to the cabin. I'll be back soon."
Ning Beichen said to the captain and his wife. dafeng novel
"Mr. Ning, where are you going?"
Chen Tian recovered and quickly asked him.
"To deal with that armed ship, otherwise none of us can escape."
Ning Beichen replied.
"Deal with... the armed ship?"
Chen Tian and his wife, as well as the people on the ship, were all stunned. Before they could speak, they saw Ning Beichen vanish.
"Cap... Captain, then... what do we do?"
The ship's crew were all scared out of their wits. First pirates, and now an armed ship. The events of this day were more incredible than anything they had experienced in their lives.
Chen Tian was also very scared, his legs even trembling.
These were not pirates, but regular soldiers, especially that fierce-looking large armed ship. With just one cannon blast, they and the ship would sink into the sea.
Moreover, this was the vast ocean, and no one could help them, nor would anyone come to their rescue. They might even be unknown for a long time that they had died.
"No... don't be afraid. Everyone listen to Mr. Ning's orders and hide in the cabin."
Although Chen Tian was scared, he understood Ning Beichen's abilities to some extent, so he was much better off than the ignorant people on the ship.
"Captain, that... that's an armed ship. Will hiding be useful?"
A crew member said tremblingly.
"What else can we do if we don't hide? Do you want to sail away? Trying to escape is suicide, not enough for them to sink us with one shot."
Chen Tian, after all, was the captain, and he gradually calmed down, his mind becoming much clearer.
"But... but can Mr. Ning really deal with them alone?"
Another crew member asked fearfully.
Although he had seen Ning Beichen deal with pirates before, pirates were still not regular soldiers, and their weapons were mostly junk.
But these were regular soldiers, especially that large armed ship which was several times larger than their cargo ship.
"I don't know, but you also saw that these people wouldn't let us go, nor would they capture us. Instead, they want to kill us. If you're thinking of surrendering, I advise you to give up that idea."
Chen Tian said with a worried expression.
"Captain, why don't you take them into the cabin to hide, and we three will lie in ambush here."
The three guards tremblingly proposed a suggestion.
Although they were also afraid, they were guards after all. Even though they were reluctant, in this kind of situation, they were somewhat better than the crew members.
Chen Tian thought for a moment, uncertain if Ning Beichen could return safely. He nodded to the three of them, said "I'll trouble you," and then took his wife and the unarmed crew members back to the cabin.
The three guards hid behind some crates, holding their weapons, ready to ambush.
Now they had no way out, and could only fight for it. It was better than sitting and waiting for death.
At this time, Ning Beichen was underwater, quietly approaching the large armed ship.
However, the ladder on the ship's hull had been retracted, making it impossible to board.
For anyone else, even if they could sneak to the side of the ship, it would be useless, but Ning Beichen was different.
He looked like a gecko, clinging to the smooth hull, slowly crawling upwards.
Ning Beichen didn't have any special abilities, but he used his internal energy in his palms to form something similar to a suction cup principle, allowing him to temporarily cling to the hull without falling.
Ning Beichen's expression was calm and collected as he climbed up step by step.
He knew his time was limited. Once the people on the ship noticed something amiss with the cargo ship opposite, or if they received no response, they would probably attack the cargo ship directly without much thought.
Soon, Ning Beichen, like a gecko, climbed to the stern of the ship in a short time. There, three personnel were on guard.
Ning Beichen waited until one of the personnel came closer, then with lightning speed, he captured him, pressed his thumb, and crushed his throat. Then, he poked his heart.
With a slight sound.
This person had gone to meet his maker.
Ning Beichen, with a pigeon flip, landed on the deck, gently placed the body on the ground, and then charged towards another personnel like an arrow.
This personnel didn't react at all. He only felt his heart twist like a milling machine, a sharp pain, and then he lost consciousness.
However, a personnel not far from him seemed to have inadvertently seen Ning Beichen's movements. His eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape, his expression shocked, and he looked utterly unbelievable.
"Ene...my attack!"
But before he could utter the sound, Ning Beichen flicked his wrist in his direction.
A dagger pierced his throat, forcing him to swallow his cry.
Ning Beichen rolled three times on the ground and reached him. He grabbed him and punched him in the temple, seeing his eyes covered in a red mist of blood, and he lost his breath in an instant.
