Protect Our Clan Leader

He didn't want to stir up trouble at such a critical moment, but he also wasn't afraid of trouble, after all, from the looks of it, the Summer Palace fleet seemed to have an advantage over the other side.

At once, Tribute Sun Dahai operated his Mysterious Energy and shouted, "Friends ahead, we are the fleet of the Zhao Kingdom's Summer Palace, currently in pursuit of a family traitor. If you're willing to stand aside, our Summer Palace will be exceedingly grateful and will offer generous gifts. But if you insist on meddling in our affairs, don't blame our fleet for being unfriendly."

"Generous gifts? What kind of generous gifts?" As soon as the words fell, Long Wuji's teasing voice came from afar, "We are a fleet from the Tianji Continent. If you don't want me to intervene, you'd better lay out your terms. The young lady has said that I'm free to name any conditions, hehehe~"

Long Wuji has never been one to follow rules. Deep down, this person has a bit of a rebellious spirit, accustomed to lawless behavior. Spending most of his time at sea, he's had no shortage of dealings with various unknown forces, spewing lies effortlessly.

"Tianji Continent? No wonder these ships look somewhat strange." Sun Yaowu realized, but then his face darkened as he muttered in a hostile tone, "But just a mere Purple Abode Realm dare to take advantage of our Summer Palace. If not for the special circumstances of this moment that forbid complications, this Princely Heir would certainly make him suffer!"

He snorted coldly, "Ocean Tribute, give him fifty thousand Immortal Crystals, and make him scram."

"Yes, Princely Heir."

Sun Dahai acknowledged, then loudly said, "Our Princely Heir says, since you're friends from the Tianji Continent, here are fifty thousand Immortal Crystals, treating it as our Summer Palace inviting you for tea. Let's build goodwill together."

"Fifty thousand Immortal Crystals? Sending off a beggar?" Long Wuji sneered, his tone extremely provoking, "That's a princess, only worth this much? I'll give you a flat rate, five million Immortal Crystals. Kindly send the money over, and your Dragon Master will generously let you go."

Five million Immortal Crystals?! And let himself go?

The Princely Heir Sun Yaowu trembled with rage, his face darkened as he roared angrily, "Truly disrespectful! If I don't show him some color, he would really think this Princely Heir is easy to bully. Use the auxiliary cannon and fire at him to drive them away."

This Kunmu Giant Vessel has a famous main cannon known as the "Demonic Dragon Crossbow Cannon."

This is the epitome of the Demonic Dynasty's Refining Technique, capable of discharging a Demonic Dragon Crossbow Arrow after being charged, with power comparable to a Transcendent Void Realm strike.

In the past, during the Immortal-Demon war, this Demonic Dragon Crossbow Cannon achieved quite a stunning record.

But this Demonic Dragon Crossbow Cannon requires specially made crossbow arrows, which are expensive, and the charging consumption is also very large, costing over tens of thousands of Immortal Crystals just for one shot.

Furthermore, the crossbow cannon cannot continuously attack, as each charging consumes a long time.

Chasing the princess is purely a waste, so naturally, there was no prior charging.

Therefore, even in a fit of anger, Sun Yaowu remained clear-headed and only used the auxiliary cannon.

The auxiliary cannon is a scaled-down version of the Demonic Dragon Crossbow Cannon, costing only a few thousand Immortal Crystals per shot, and it was already pre-charged.

With his command, the auxiliary cannon on the Kunmu Giant Vessel immediately burst forth with dazzling energy light, as a reduced-size Demonic Dragon Crossbow Arrow whistled sharply through the air.

In just two breaths, the arrow approached the flagship of the Ironclad Warship.

Yet.

Before the arrow could crash onto the Ironclad Warship, a flash of light occurred on its massive hull, and a thick energy shield suddenly appeared over the warship.

Having prepared in advance, the Ironclad Warship's Defensive Array was timely activated, intercepting the crossbow arrow shot by the Kunmu Giant Vessel's auxiliary cannon.

"Boom!"

The crossbow arrow struck the energy shield, causing the thick energy shield to ripple like waves instantly.

Under the immense backlash force, the Demonic Dragon Crossbow Arrow also shattered explosively at the same time.

The scattering arrow fragments shot out, striking the dense armor and producing enormous noise, but causing no damage.

"This is a reduced-size Demonic Dragon Crossbow Arrow." Inside the Bridge Ship, Long Wuji recognized the arrow's origin at once, "This thing is very powerful, comparable to our Divine Might main cannon. But its weakness is also obvious, as each shot requires a massive amount of Spirit Stones for charging, and the price is very high!"

"Fire at it. Test the Kunmu Giant Vessel's defense capabilities." Wang Shouzhe ordered.

"Alright, alright~ It's impolite not to reciprocate." Long Wuji immediately became excited, laughing wildly, "Transmit my command, aim the ship's bow Divine Might main cannon! Fire!"

With a command.

The crew immediately sprang into action, and in the blink of an eye, the Divine Might main cannon at the bow of the Ironclad Warship slowly began to rotate its barrel, aimed, and a shell was shot out with a thunderous roar!

"Boom!"

Under the massive impact, even the Ironclad Warship trembled fiercely.

The massive Divine Might shell streaked across the sky like a meteor, roaring like a thunderbolt as it swiftly slammed towards the Kunmu Giant Vessel.

The Kunmu Giant Vessel also reacted swiftly, immediately activating its Defensive Array and raising its energy shield.

The Divine Might main cannon amazingly could not penetrate the energy shield, instead causing the shield to ripple with unusual distortion.

It must be said, the Kunmu Giant Vessel is indeed worthy of being the main battleship of the Demonic Dynasty; its overall performance is indeed formidable.

But the Ironclad Warship also has its own strengths.

Under the command of Long Wuji, the Ironclad Warship performed a tail-whip maneuver, and amidst the massive waves, the warship amazingly rotated sideways at incredible speed due to inertia.
