Looking at the figure speeding on the water and approaching the ship, Xiao Shuang showed no expression on his face, not even the slightest surprise.
The other people on the ship soon discovered the figure on the water in the distance, and they all showed shocked expressions.
"Then...what is that?"
"Okay...it seems to be a person?"
"Oops! It's the enemy! The enemy is catching up!"
After hearing this, Nangong Yingluan and Shangguan Baizan came to the stern of the ship and looked at the figure in the distance, their pupils suddenly shrank inwards.
Because the man running across the water is none other than Prime Minister Li of Beiyan.
Prime Minister Li, like the Lord of Internal Affairs, is a high-ranking official with both civil and military skills. He has the cultivation of the peak of the third-level Martial King, and his strength is also among the best in Beiyan.
The strength of Nangong Yingluan and Shangguan Baichan was far from enough to fight with them. Even if all the lieutenants and soldiers on the ship were added, they would still be unable to compete.
"We have obviously detoured from the left, why can he still find our position so accurately?"
Shangguan Baichan couldn't understand at all. They could only evacuate towards Zhongzhou. If Prime Minister Li wanted to pursue them, he should also choose to pursue them towards Zhongzhou.
But Prime Minister Li did not do this. Instead, he chose to pursue the left side. Why is this?
"The enemy obviously knows our whereabouts very well. There must be something fishy in this!"
Nangong Yingluan knew that the matter was not simple, but now that the enemy had caught up, he had no extra time to think about it and could only fight with all his strength.
"Get ready for battle!" Nangong Yingluan immediately turned around and ordered everyone.
Several silver lieutenants and dozens of soldiers tensed their nerves and entered combat mode.
When he was less than twenty meters away from the ship, Prime Minister Li stood on tiptoes on the water. He soared more than ten meters high from the water, and then landed lightly on the flagpole of the ship. With a pair of cold eyes, he looked at the people below.
Everyone.
"Hand over your queen." Prime Minister Li said coldly. Although his voice was not loud, he was not angry or intimidating.
"Stop talking nonsense and let's fight!" Nangong Yinglan and Shangguan Baizai didn't talk nonsense. They took a step forward together, both activating their vitality and condensing their martial souls.
Nangong Yinglan's martial spirit is the same as his brother Nangong Yingzheng's martial spirit. It is also a golden sword.
However, his sword cannot split like Nangong Yingzheng's martial spirit. It can only launch a single attack on the target like Nanxia King's martial spirit. However, its attack speed and attack power are far inferior to Nanxia King's.
Wuhun.
Shangguan Baizan's martial spirit is the same as his brother Shangguan Baiqi's, which is also a bloody sickle.
However, his scythe does not have the effect of blood-sucking and self-healing like Shangguan Baiqi's martial spirit. It can only be used as a weapon and can be controlled at will.
Both of their martial spirits are similar to their elder brother's, but their abilities are imperfect.
"If your brothers join forces, you may be able to fight me. But if you two join forces, there is no way you can be my opponent." Prime Minister Li said confidently, while speaking, he also stimulated his vitality and condensed a burst of bloom.
Sword with blue light.
Prime Minister Li waved his hand casually, and the sword fell from the sky and stuck upside down on the deck of the ship.
The moment the sword was inserted into the deck, an invisible realm spread out and enveloped the entire ship.
Nangong Yingluan, Shangguan Baizai, and all the lieutenants and soldiers present felt an invisible pressure acting on themselves.
Nangong Yingluan and Shangguan Baichan, the two powerful King of Martials, were okay, but they felt that their speed was a little limited. But those soldiers felt that their bodies were extremely heavy, and even breathing became a little difficult.
"Is this the "Absolute Sword Domain"?" Although Nangong Yinglan had never been on the battlefield before, he heard his brother Nangong Yingzheng talk about Prime Minister Li.
Prime Minister Li's martial soul ability is to create attenuated enemies and at the same time increase his own sword domain. This sword domain is called the "Absolute Sword Domain".
When Prime Minister Li's martial spirit is inserted into the ground, the "Absolute Sword Domain" will be automatically formed.
Within the scope of the "Absolute Sword Domain", the power of any sword technique performed by Prime Minister Li will be doubled.
The enemy's reaction speed and strength will be greatly reduced. The lower the cultivation level, the more obvious the reduction effect will be.
"In my "Absolute Sword Domain", you have no chance of winning!" Prime Minister Li pulled out the sword from his waist and suddenly disappeared from the flagpole.
When he reappeared, he had landed on the deck and was fighting with Nangong Yingluan and Shangguan Baichan.
For a moment, swords flashed, and sword energy flew wildly.
In the fierce battle, the entire ship instantly became unrecognizable. And this was even if they had some scruples and tried their best to restrain themselves, otherwise the ship would have been dismantled by them long ago.
The soldiers wanted to help, but before they could get close enough, they were directly shaken by the strong vitality of King Wu and flew into the air, vomiting blood and flying backwards.
Some fell on the deck, denting the metal deck directly. Others fell directly overboard and fell into the cold lake water.
Only a few silver lieutenants could barely intervene in the battle.
But despite the help of several Baiyin lieutenants, Nangong Yingluan and Shangguan Baizhen were still defeated by Prime Minister Li.
After dozens of rounds of fighting, several silver lieutenants all fell in a pool of blood, and no one survived.
Nangong Yingluan and Shangguan Baizhan both looked pale, with blood bleeding from the corners of their mouths, and couldn't help but retreat.
"It seems that we are in doom today." Shangguan Baizai seemed to have made up his mind.
Nangong Yingluan said without fear: "It doesn't matter if we die, we can't let the queen fall into his hands, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"
Nangong Ying turned around and looked at the two remaining soldiers: "You take the queen and run away quickly, we will buy time."
"Yes." The two soldiers immediately turned around and rushed into the cabin, preparing to take Nangong Yan away.
Prime Minister Li watched the two soldiers rushing into the cabin, but he was not anxious at all, because Xiao Shuang had already entered, and those two soldiers were no match for Xiao Shuang.
Sure enough, the two soldiers rushed in and heard a scream from inside.
Nangong Yingluan and Shangguan Baichan secretly thought that something was wrong and hurriedly turned their heads and looked back.
Xiao Shuang, who looked cold and indifferent, was holding Nangong Yan with a sword and walked out of the cabin.
Her sword was still stained with steaming blood, obviously from the two soldiers she had just killed.
"You..." Nangong Yingluan looked at Xiao Shuang in shock and anger, and instantly understood what was going on.
No wonder Prime Minister Li was able to find their location accurately. It turned out that all this was because there was a traitor on this ship!
