Chapter 631 - 631: Luo Feng’s Frightening Prowess! The Divine Relic, the Swallowtail Hoe!
Luo Feng persistently searched through the cabins of the ship.
The individuals on the deck would have to wait; his immediate concern was to scour every corner of the ship, leaving no stone unturned.
Those on the deck were plainly visible, while those hidden within the cabins were out of sight. Luo Feng prioritized the latter.
Swiftly, he spotted two men of African descent, both absorbed in their solitary drinking.
He began to approach them.
However, these two men had grown suspicious due to the unusual sounds from the nearby cabin, which hardly resembled the drunken commotion they were accustomed to.
Consequently, they were on high alert.
“Luo… It’s Luo Feng! Luo Feng is here!”
As Luo Feng stealthily infiltrated their vicinity, the two men began to shout.
People from the deck and other rooms hurriedly converged, forming a barricade around Luo Feng’s cabin.
“Luo Feng, what brings you here?”
A muscular man of African descent queried, his eyes filled with curiosity as he surveyed Luo Feng.
He was puzzled about how Luo Feng had managed to track them down.
Luo Feng didn’t respond directly to the question. Instead, he offered a faint smile and posed a question of his own, “Do you plan to surrender willingly, or do I have to make you?”
The man noticed Luo Feng’s gun and a shiver of apprehension ran through
him.
“Luo Feng, what’s going through your mind? Are you plotting to reclaim all the treasures?
“That’s unacceptable. We’re pirates; we need money to survive. And you’ve already paid us!”
Luo Feng responded with a chuckle, “In reality, I had set aside an advance of one million for you. But your demands exceeded my expectations! Since you’ve chosen to flout the rules, I see no reason to exercise diplomacy. Today, I’m not just here to retrieve my treasure; I’m also here to seize yours as a form of
‘interest’.”
Upon hearing Luo Feng’s words, the men scoffed dismissively.
One of them retorted, “Luo Feng, we admire your audacity, confronting us single-handedly. However, it’s regrettable that we pirates have a rule: we never return what we seize.’
No sooner had he finished speaking than they began drawing their weapons, slowly edging towards Luo Feng.
Luo Feng gripped his weapon tighter.
He hadn’t anticipated being surrounded, rendering his gun seemingly futile.
After all, his true magical weapon was the Swallowtail Hoe…
A tool that could stave off death.
Casually, he tossed aside his small handgun.
Then Luo Feng drew out the compact hoe he’d been carrying on his back…
“Luo Feng, you’re violating the rules of fair play. We had completed our transaction. I took your money and let you go. Now you’ve come seeking us out, injuring my men in the process. Don’t blame me for my impending ruthlessness!”
The leading man barked, signaling his henchmen.
Bang, bang, bang.
Gunshots ricocheted across the island.
However, Luo Feng quickly found cover.
Furthermore, the Swallowtail Hoe proved instrumental in deflecting the bullets.
The way Luo Feng brandished the Swallowtail Hoe, as witnessed in Cao Cao’s tomb, was akin to a divine apparition.
He hurled his Jungle Blade, felling one.
He flung his Kukri, downing another.
His throws, both precise and forceful, never ceased.
This way, he managed to eliminate several of the opponents.
With the Swallowtail Hoe at his disposal, Luo Feng had no fear of being shot while launching projectiles from behind cover.
Soon, when fewer than half a dozen men remained, Luo Feng emerged.
He sauntered towards these men.
“Luo… We… We surrender!”
“We surrender!”
The leading man was now trembling. He had never encountered such a formidable opponent who could remain unscathed despite facing a dozen of his men.
“Heh, surrender, you don’t wish to die, do you? Then it will depend on your performance. Follow me to the island, transfer the treasure onto the ship.
Don’t slack off or resist. You’re aware of my capabilities!”
Luo Feng chuckled, and his laughter, coupled with his daunting prowess, sent chills down the pirates’ spines.
Half an hour later, Luo Feng, with his captives in tow, arrived at a cluster of huts.
Seeing their comrades bound, everyone was curious.
How had Luo Feng managed all this?
Alone?
Why was he so formidable?
They were aware that their numbers here far exceeded those on the ship.
The ship was undoubtedly occupied by senior members of the pirate group, while here were the lowly foot soldiers, the most populous.
Soon, two hours passed. The group on the shore watched as their pirate ship slowly sailed into the pitch-black sea.
Despair filled the pirates’ eyes.
“There’s no need for farewells. This is far enough. Head back. Thanks for the
‘interest’. Remember, never meddle with someone you can’t afford to offend. Initially letting you off wasn’t an act of cowardice. You merely overstepped your bounds, and I felt you needed a lesson!”
Luo Feng glanced at the people on the shore, laughing, and broadcasted his message into the night sky through a megaphone.
The pirates were seething.
But they couldn’t provoke someone possessing such power. His decision to spare their lives was already merciful enough..
