Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

"Turn off the lights!"

Just as the boat that Zuo Feng and others were riding on was moving forward, Zuo Feng suddenly saw a light on the upper reaches of the river. He was moved, and immediately turned back and said loudly to Amber.

Although Amber didn't know what Zuo Feng meant, everything that happened tonight was a bit weird, and Amber still didn't understand some things. But he immediately turned off a wind lamp on the boat according to Zuo Feng's instructions.

No matter big ships or small ships, they need lights to illuminate at night. Although the Ye Xuan River is extremely wide, sometimes it is inevitable to encounter places with fast water and dangerous shoals. If you can't clearly grasp the situation in the water, it is common for boats to capsize and people to die.

Some people have cultivation, but some warriors don't know how to swim. After falling into the water, they have cultivation but can't save themselves. In addition, the ships going back and forth on the Ye Xuan River are all transporting some valuable goods, so the sailors will be particularly careful, especially at night, they will use wind lamps to illuminate the surroundings.

Sometimes a large ship needs several or even dozens of lanterns for lighting, but the small boat Zuo Feng was riding on only had one lantern, which could barely illuminate the area of ​​30 to 40 meters around the boat.

Soon after the lights on the boat went out, everyone's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness around them, and at the same time, they saw lights flickering on and off in the distant river. The ship that could appear at this moment, and it seemed to be constantly approaching the dock, must have come to participate in the battle.

Except for Zuo Feng, the three people subconsciously cast their eyes on Zuo Feng, because from the look of Zuo Feng, he should have discovered it long ago. Zuo Feng shook his head and said helplessly: "I can't tell the origin of this ship. I can only judge from the number of lanterns that it should be a three-masted ship, and there should be four of them."

Several people immediately cast their eyes again into the dark river. Within the range of their vision, they could only vaguely recognize three or four lights, and the other situations Zuo Feng mentioned were not clear at all.

Seeing that several people were still looking at him with inquiring eyes, Zuo Feng spoke again: "No matter which side these ships belong to, they will make the situation in Xinjun City more chaotic, so we must leave at full speed now. And we can't sail in the center of the river. Amber, please work hard. Let's try to sail along the north bank for the first part of the road."

After listening to what Zuo Feng said, several people nodded subconsciously. They didn't want to be discovered now, so they could only turn off the lights. It was probably the best choice to stick to the north bank without lighting. But now it is not known whether there are any enemies rushing towards this side, so everyone can only try to stay away from the south bank.

Amber nodded heavily. If everyone wants to leave the scope of Xinjun City, there is still a long waterway to travel, and anything can happen during this period. The best way to allow everyone to travel at night and at the same time be able to conserve their energy to meet any changes is to continue to move forward by boat.

Without the illumination of lights, they can only rely on their eyes to observe the surroundings as much as possible in the dark night. Amber naturally understands how heavy the burden on his shoulders is. Amber slightly adjusted the rudder, and the boat moved slightly towards the south bank again.

During this process, Amber kept listening attentively. Although Zuo Feng was very confident in his eyesight, he knew nothing about boating. However, he was very curious and was paying close attention to Amber's every move.

Amber moved the boat towards the north bank. The only change in the sound during this process was that the sound of the boat breaking the water gradually changed from low to gentle. Zuo Feng thought about it and understood that Amber should be able to judge the distance between the bottom of the boat and the bottom of the river by the sound of the water. Of course, the shallower the water, the more likely it is to hit the bottom.

At a certain moment, the rudder in Amber's hand suddenly adjusted back, and then the boat slowly changed direction and sailed horizontally along the shore. Zuo Feng couldn't help but nodded secretly. Amber did have good strength in boating. At this time, their boat was less than two feet away from the south bank.

Zuo Feng and his crew were not sailing very fast. The lights behind them were getting brighter and brighter, and even the outlines of the first and second ships could be seen clearly. However, there was no iconic flag on the ship, so it was not known what kind of force the other party belonged to.

At this time, Zuo Feng suddenly frowned and looked forward, then whispered: "Everyone, please keep quiet and slowly lower the sails. It seems that our luck is really bad."

Soon after Zuo Feng finished speaking, there were lights in the darkness ahead. Needless to say, there were ships approaching this side. At this time, there was no need for Zuo Feng to say more. Amber and Amber had already lowered the sails in a hurry. Everyone subconsciously crouched down and looked nervously at the lights that kept approaching in front.

When they were far away, they felt that the ship coming from the opposite side should be very large. When they saw it clearly, they found that it was a three-masted ship as Zuo Feng said, and there were as many as five of them. The large ship had a deep draft, which could be judged that the cargo on the ship was very heavy. Of course, it was more likely that there were many warriors on the ship.

The large ships were parallel in pairs on the river, completely occupying the main channel. Because they were going upstream and the wind was not favorable, their speed was not very fast.

Eight wooden oars more than two meters long were extended on both sides of the large ship. The wooden oars beat the water surface rhythmically, allowing the large ship to go upstream and head straight for the Xinjun Wharf.

When Su Yan saw the wooden oars next to the big ships, she couldn't help but say to herself: "It's the big ships of the empire, how could it be?"

When she said this, her body unconsciously straightened a little, but a hand gently pressed on her shoulder. Su Yan turned her head in surprise and saw Zuo Feng looking at her solemnly. He shook his head slowly, indicating that she should not make any moves.

Zuo Feng frowned and looked at the big ship that was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, he whispered to Amber: "Turn the boat around quickly, point the bow at their big ship, and put the anchor down to stabilize the boat."

Amber was also an expert in sailing. After hearing Zuo Feng's reminder, he immediately understood. A look of sudden realization appeared on his face and he hurriedly turned the rudder and moved the boat according to what Zuo Feng said.

Amber almost laid the boat across the river. Just after throwing the anchor into the water, the two three-masted ships in the first row slowly drove over. Eight huge wooden oars fell into the water together, and the waves caused by the big ship going upstream directly raised a wave nearly ten feet high and rushed towards the small boat quickly.

It was not until this time that Amber and Suyan understood why Zuo Feng asked Amber to do this. The waves hit the bow of the boat, causing the boat to rush straight to the top of the wave, and a small half of the water hit the cabin directly. Even so, the three people followed Zuo Feng's instructions without making any sound, and everyone held the side of the boat tightly with both hands to stabilize the center of gravity.

Soon, the two three-masted ships in front drove past, and then two followed closely. The four people in the boat had to take a bath in the river water because of the big waves again.

These three-masted ships were full of wind lanterns, which illuminated the surroundings of the big ships as bright as day. Fortunately, the warriors on the boat all turned their attention to the Xinjun Wharf in Jiangbei, and did not pay any attention to the direction where Zuo Feng and his friends were, otherwise as long as one person looked down, they would be able to see their boat.

The last ship was moving very slowly, and when it drove over, Zuo Feng instinctively felt an invisible pressure spreading on the ship.

'A strong man in the Refining Spirit Stage. ’

Zuo Feng was extremely shocked and thought in his heart. He subconsciously looked up at the big ship, but except for some warriors, he could not see the place where the strong man in the Refining Spirit Stage was.

Among the few people on the ship, perhaps only Zuo Feng could feel the existence of the strong man in the Refining Spirit Stage, or it could be said that the strong man's telekinesis detection made Zuo Feng naturally feel it. But Zuo Feng did not dare to make any unusual movements, and had to pretend to be terrified like the others.

Fortunately, except for Amber who reached the Tempering Tendon Stage, the remaining three people on the ship, including Zuo Feng, were all warriors in the Bone Refining Stage. Such strength was not taken seriously by the people on the ship at all. The feeling of being spied on disappeared in an instant, and Zuo Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If the telekinesis of the strong man in the Refining Spirit Stage stayed on the ship for a while longer, he might really find the faint telekinesis fluctuations on Zuo Feng.

When the big ship sailed away from them, without waiting for Zuo Feng to speak, Amber immediately pulled out the anchor, set the sail and rushed downstream quickly. The advantage of a small boat is its flexibility. At this time, it is sailing down with the wind and water, and the speed is not much slower than riding a horse.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief until this moment. When everyone looked back, they found that two of the large ships that had just passed by had stopped on the river, completely blocking the dock. They looked like they were going to close the door and beat the dog, and they were not going to let any ship leave the sea.

Su Yan couldn't help showing a puzzled look at this, and turned her head to look at Zuo Feng on the side. Zuo Feng looked at that side in silence, and said for a long time: "Your guess may be correct, but I won't believe anyone under the current circumstances. And you also see the situation over there. Xinjun City is much more complicated than you think."

Su Yan pursed his lips tightly, and looked at the direction of Xinjun Wharf with a complicated look in his eyes, or he was looking at the five large ships that came last. Zuo Feng could guess some of Su Yan's thoughts, but he knew that the truth had not yet come out, and it was not easy for him, an outsider, to say much.

The four people on the boat were soaked to the skin, but fortunately everyone had good cultivation. Although the autumn wind at night in the Xuanwu Empire was extremely cold when it blew on the wet clothes, everyone felt the joy of escaping death, so they didn't care much about the little hardship.
