Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1026 - 614: A Ghost?

The appearance of Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin nearly shattered Sui Yi’s historical memories.

In minutes, it crumbled into Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Don’t ask her why she doesn’t remember Tale of the Double Dragons of the Great Tang Dynasty but remembers Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The latter aligns more with historical facts, while the former is pure fiction. She hasn’t read much of the former but skimmed the latter, and naturally remembers Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin are names as resounding as thunder.

However, upon seeing them in person, Sui Yi still felt slightly... hmm... how to put it... amused.

Qin Shubao is handsome, probably in his early twenties, dressed in simple clothes and carrying a long spear on his back, looking quite like a valiant soldier on the battlefield.

Cheng Yaojin, his childhood friend, is naturally around the same age, with a large axe slung at his waist that resembles a woodcutter’s tool. He has a bulky frame, a greasy hand, and it’s unclear what he just fetched from the kitchen to eat.

These two, one lean and one robust, suddenly popped out. Even though they aren’t widely known, only Sui Yi knew the "historical value" of these two, but after all, they are brave warriors confronting the bandits, drawing everyone’s attention.

Undoubtedly seen as saviors.

At that moment, One-Eyed Scar waved a hand, "Kill these two fellows who popped out of nowhere."

Whoosh!

Arrows shot forth!

In the blink of an eye, two arrows were coming...

Qin Shubao, proficient in his family’s spear techniques, swung his spear in a serpentine dance and deflected the arrows. Cheng Yaojin, however, wasn’t as skilled; unable to draw his axe in time, he dodged awkwardly.

Meanwhile, several members of the Water Sand Gang suddenly climbed up from the side of the deck.

They swung their swords and blades as they climbed aboard.

"Not good, these thieves have just come from underwater!"

Qin Shubao shouted fiercely, leaping from the prow to confront those boarding, while Cheng Yaojin rolled up, drawing his axe...

However, two fists are no match for four hands. Even though both are more skilled than the Water Sand Gang members, they couldn’t cope with their numbers. One by one, they climbed up from the water along the hull, quick as thieves, and in no time, twenty to thirty men boarded, from the stern to the prow to the middle of the ship, swinging swords and blades ready for slaughter!

Leaving no one behind, men, women, young and old!

It seemed an inevitable slaughter...

A few burly men chose to jump ship, but most aboard were unskilled in swimming, or they were elderly, women or children, unable to swim across to shore, especially with the rapid currents, which meant certain death!

"Kill, kill, finish them off! Leave no one alive!"

"Quick and efficient, we’re running on time!"

One-Eyed Scar coldly commanded, indifferent to human life, further fueling the anger of Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin, but the blades of those men were indeed aimed at the heads of the elderly, women, and children....

Suddenly!

Bang! A blade-wielding water bandit abruptly had a red mark appear on his forehead, his eyes widened.

He fell with a thud.

Then, in just a breath, bang, bang, bang!

One by one, the water bandits fell inexplicably, each with a red mark on their foreheads.

"What’s happening!"

"It’s like seeing ghosts!"

The remaining Water Sand Gang members were horrified, looking around pale-faced. Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin were also surprised. But Qin Shubao, quick-witted, seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, swiftly subduing a few nearby bandits and charging at the others...

One of them, indeed cunning, without a word grabbed a nearby person... the small merchant, nimble and quick, seized someone beside him and pushed forward.

He shoved the delicate-looking woman towards the bandit.

The bandit didn’t care about the woman’s delicate skin and pretty looks; he simply grabbed her tightly, with his blade raised!

"Who’s there, come out!"

At that time, One-Eyed Scar, shocked, spoke chillingly: "Which expert is here, attacking from behind..."

A pebble flew across the sky.

Thud!

One-Eyed Scar’s forehead burst with a spray of blood, the stone flew through his brain and pierced the heads of two people behind him.

As they fell, almost hitting the ground...

"Good Inner Strength!"

A shadow suddenly shot out from the ship beneath One-Eyed Scar, leaping aboard like a tiger springing free, directly onto the prow, with a bear-like stature, a scraggly beard, a curved saber at his waist, radiating inner strength and imposing presence.

A-grade King.

Sui Yi raised an eyebrow, even a water bandit leader in this world is king level; fortunately, Gong Jiu and the others didn’t come, otherwise, it would have been extremely dangerous.
