Not only would it display his astonishing power, the more important thing was that it would validate the accuracy of his judgement.
The enemy ships were beginning to hoist their sails.
Three zhang!
With a wild roar Kou Zhong soared into the air to pounce on the steel rope.
This was such an unexpected move that even the enemy was awed. Everybody stared with their eyes grew wide, and forgot to release the stones and the arrows.
Fiercely gnashing her silvery teeth, Shang Xiuxun shouted tenderly, "Light the arrows!”
Flying over the empty space, Kou Zhong pulled the Moon in the Well from its scabbard, and turned it into a sharp ray that violently chopped down in the steel rope below.
Right this moment, Kou Zhong seemed to transform into a totally different person than his usual self.
'Dang!'
While the men from both sides were craning their neck to look down, the Moon in the Well turned into an arc of yellow light, like a streak of lightning struck the steel rope.
The steel rope seemed unable to withstand the saber strike; it suddenly snapped and fell into the river.
Shang Xiuxun shouted tenderly, "Release the arrows!”
Soaring into the sky, the fiery arrows illuminated the river course, separately raining down on the two enemy ships.
Flying Horse Ranch people's morale was high; they were full of confidence and fighting spirit.
Like a swift running horse their boat sailed across the steel rope that was blocking the river, speedily glided downstream.
It was not until the arrows nearly arrived that the enemy appeared to be awakened from a dream; with rallying cry they returned fire.
Kou Zhong somersaulted in the air. As steady as Mount Tai he landed back to his original position at the bow of their boat, with aloofness as if he looked at the world in disdain.
The saber was back in its sheath.
This moment two huge rocks happened to fill the sky as they flew toward them.
Kou Zhong laughed aloud. Like a leopard he leaped and met the rocks head-on with his fists.
'Bang! Bang!'
The rocks shattered into powder and rained down the river.
Kou Zhong was shaken by the impact as well; he dropped back onto the deck, right next to Shang Xiuxun.
Seeing his fists were covered in blood, Shang Xiuxun was aghast, "Are you all right?” she asked.
Kou Zhong was unable to crawl back up; his body appeared to have lost all its strength. But he was still laughing heartily and said, "That was fun! That was fun!”
'Boom!'
The hull shook violently.
Without anybody able to stop it, a huge rock hit the port side deck. Immediately wood fragments splattered everywhere as the deck shattered.
The boat leaned to its side before finally leveled up again.
Xu Ziling thundered, "Brothers, we're through!”
Everybody cheered.
Looking back, they saw the two enemy ships were on fire. Forget about pursuing, they were having a difficult time just to take care of themselves.
