"No, you all just stay inside the boat and as soon as they attack, figure out a way to drive them off!"

Duan Gujin finished speaking and leaped onto the top of the small boat.

Moments later, dozens of iron hooks flew out from the small boat behind them.

If their small boat was hooked by those iron hooks, it could only be pulled backward by the small boat behind them.

Duan Gujin looked at those iron hooks, exhaled a turbid breath, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Everyone, be careful not to let those hooks catch the boat!"

Duan Gujin commanded Jiang Qichen and the others to stop those hooks.

Jiang Qichen and the other two immediately swung their longswords to combat the hooks.

Duan Gujin did not choose to release the Heavenly Emperor Bell at this time; he noticed that the small boat behind them was still at least a hundred meters away from his boat.

If he released the Heavenly Emperor Bell from such a distance, it might be sensed by the people on that boat.

As soon as the expert on that boat noticed he was about to unleash the Heavenly Emperor Bell towards their boat, they would intervene and block the strike of the Heavenly Emperor Bell.

Unable to gauge the strength of the enemy on the small boat behind them, Duan Gujin knew the best strategy to ensure a precise hit was a surprise attack at close range.

"Everyone, act quickly, capture them alive, and then throw them overboard to feed the sharks!"

Just then, Duan Gujin heard the leader of that small boat shouting loudly.

"That person is so vicious!"

Duan Gujin did not know when his group had offended that young man, but since the other party intended to throw them overboard to feed the sharks, he certainly would not go easy on them.

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed, and he formed a seal with his hands, casting numerous lights of sword energy towards those hooks.

The lights of sword energy he now transformed into, if used to attack the enemy directly, would be too weak.

He realized those dozens of hooks were merely ordinary iron hooks and not specially made Dark Weapons.

Moments later, the sound of explosions was incessant.

Countless hooks struck by Duan Gujin's sword energy were smashed and sent flying back, many of which were damaged.

"Up! Everyone quickly row over there!"

The Young Master on the boat saw that the hooks of their side had been smashed by the opponent but did not rage, because he had anticipated this outcome.

Earlier, he did not recognize Duan Gujin's identity, but now, upon seeing the clothes on Duan Gujin, he realized that the person he was chasing was an Inner Sect Disciple of Green Cloud Sect.

"I can't let that Green Cloud Sect Inner Sect Disciple leave here alive!"

A killing aura flashed in the Young Master's eyes, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, emitting a chilling coldness.

"Everyone row hard, catch up and capture them!"

The Young Master's eyes flashed, feeling he should capture Duan Gujin and his people first rather than directly killing them.

"That person ahead is an Inner Sect Disciple of Green Cloud Sect, perhaps I can find some Green Cloud Sect's Cultivation Secret Manuals on him!"

An aide beside him noticed the clothes worn by Duan Gujin, recognized his identity, and hurriedly transmitted a message secretly to tell the Young Master.

"Young Master, that person ahead is an Inner Sect Disciple of Green Cloud Sect!"

"I know, you must absolutely not disclose this matter; if anyone asks about that person's identity, you announce publicly that he is an impostor!"

The Young Master knew in his heart that he could not let people outside know that he killed a Green Cloud Sect's Inner Sect Disciple. Once it was known, the people of Green Cloud Sect would certainly seek revenge on him.

Although the Young Master was a wastrel and a degenerate, he was well aware of the strength of Green Cloud Sect on the Qiankun Continent and knew that he must not casually provoke members of Green Cloud Sect.

If he inadvertently provoked such powerful individuals, he was well aware that he must either kill the other party or everyone who knew the truth.

He knew that only the dead can keep secrets, and only the dead won't betray him!

Duan Gujin repelled the iron hook shot from the small boat but did not let Jiang Qichen and the others activate the Acceleration Array to leave the area.

He had already thoroughly assessed the strength of the enemies on the small boat behind him.

"There's a Defensive Magic Array on that small boat! As soon as I unleash the Heavenly Emperor Bell to attack them, the Defensive Magic Array will activate immediately! If the Heavenly Emperor Bell is powerful enough, it can directly destroy their Defensive Magic Array! Once their Defensive Magic Array is destroyed, the Array inside the small boat will explode, and the small boat will explode!"

Duan Gujin's mind was racing, knowing he had to make a decisive move soon.

Under the rowing of hundreds of boatmen, the small boat was rapidly approaching the small boat where Duan Gujin was located.

The distance between the two small boats was getting closer, from an initial distance of approximately one hundred meters, to fifty meters, to thirty meters, and finally almost twenty meters.

Just as the two small boats were about to reach twenty meters, Duan Gujin's eyes suddenly brightened, knowing he must make a decisive move now.

Thus, with a thought, he released the Heavenly Emperor Bell.

On the other small boat, the Young Master and several of his companions showed smiles on their faces, thrilled to see their own small boat within less than twenty meters of the enemy boat.

"Hahaha!"

They could even imagine watching Duan Gujin and others struggling in the sea before finally being devoured bite by bite by sharks in the sea.

However, the next moment, the smiles on the Young Master and the others' faces instantly froze as they saw a giant tripod bell appearing above their heads.

The tripod was massive, like a mountain in front of them, blocking the sky above their heads and obstructing the sunlight.

"My God! What is this?"

The Young Master was instantly frightened, having never encountered such a terrifying event before; he had always had his way with the wind and rain and never faced a situation as horrific as today.

The experts behind him were no better off than him, stunned momentarily.

Just as they thought of counterattacking, the Heavenly Emperor Bell had already smashed down.

With a booming sound, the large boat the Young Master was aboard was sunk by the Heavenly Emperor Bell unleashed by Duan Gujin.

Duan Gujin moved his mind and retrieved the Heavenly Emperor Bell.

His figure leapt, and he returned to Jiang Qichen's small boat.

Jiang Qichen and the others rubbed their eyes vigorously, their faces full of astonishment and mouths agape.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe their friend could defeat over a hundred people alone.

It was too inconceivable for them!

"Snap out of it! Don't just stand there dumbfounded!"

Duan Gujin saw the blank expressions on Jiang Qichen and the others' faces and knew they must have been shocked by his previous action.

After being called out several times by Duan Gujin, Jiang Qichen and the others finally came back to reality.

"Duan Gujin, you are truly incredible!"

Jiang Qichen and the three immediately began praising Duan Gujin.
