Chapter 6: Fierce Waves (Below) Requesting Bookmarks

  Nina closed her eyes and let out a sharp scream!

  With a loud "thud", the axe was deeply embedded in the deck!

  Niya realized she hadn't been hit, and opened her eyes in surprise. She saw Tang Jie's axe chopping down right in front of her toes. The man yelled at her loudly: "Put your foot on the blade! You can borrow strength that way!"

  He finished speaking and swung his axe down again, its sharp blade deeply embedding itself in the deck.

  Nia's mind was racing, wasn't he going to kill her?

  She saw that the two axes were facing her and heard Tang Jie's words, and immediately understood what he meant.

  She placed her two feet on the blades of these two axes, and immediately she had an extra fulcrum for her feet. The reason why she was dragged forward all the time before was that her feet were stepping on the slippery deck without using any strength.

  At this time, she added two brakes to the slide, and her body stopped sliding. She exerted force with her feet, and with both hands, bit by bit, she pulled the sail rope, forcibly using her own strength to pull the sail back to its original position!

  At this time, Tang Jie was already climbing up the main mast rope against the wind and rain.

  On such a ship, in such raging seas, every meter climbed would multiply the danger factor and the force of the wind and waves.

  Tang Jie felt like he was being held in the palm of a giant, shaking violently. Every step he took upwards, the resistance grew stronger. The fierce wind and rain pounced on him like sharp spears and arrows, brutally battering his body, making him feel excruciating pain all over!

  Such a fierce rainstorm and strong gusts of wind came one after another, making it almost impossible for him to open his eyes.

  He could only take a deep breath with his back to the wind and rain, then slightly open his eyes, drag the rope with both hands, and climb up with all his might.

  A huge wave crashed over, heavily slamming into his body, sending his entire body flying horizontally, but fortunately the solid foundation he had practiced in martial arts was useful at this time. He saw that his five fingers were like iron hooks, tightly grasping the thick rope, and although his body was swaying in the wind and rain on the rope, it seemed as if he would be blown away at any moment, but he continued to climb up steadily without any fear or danger.

  Nia, who was controlling the sail on deck, looked extremely tense, her eyes wide with fear, as if she didn't dare to breathe, afraid that the next second this man would be swept away by the huge waves.

  She stood in the midst of the raging wind and waves, shouting loudly: "There is a knot at the top of the mainsail, open it!!"

  Tang Jie clearly heard her voice, at this moment of life and death, his muscles were all swollen due to the intense force, his hair was blown by the strong wind, his clothes were torn apart, revealing a sturdy and broad chest, he looked like a most primitive and wild beast, with each loud roar, his body would jump up a bit.

  Finally, when he stretched his hand up again, he unexpectedly touched a thick and large knot.

  Tang Jie's heart skipped a beat, he had already climbed to the top!

  He forced his eyes open a crack, and indeed saw a halyard sheave beside the mainmast, with a knotted rope beside it.

  He was overjoyed, and tightly wrapped his feet around the rope, using his hands to untie it. However, after a few attempts, he suddenly felt an icy chill all over his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

  A thick rope was tightly knotted together, and it was obvious that this was a man-made dead knot!

  Tang Jie's hands were empty and unarmed, and it was absolutely impossible for him to untie this dead knot with just his bare hands!

  He furiously yelled at Nia: "This is a dead end!!"

  "Nia exclaimed in shock: "What? What did you say! It's impossible for a sailor to tie a dead knot on the halyard! How can this be a dead knot?!""

  Tang Jie's voice pierced through the stormy rain and clearly reached Nia's ears: "But this is a dead knot!!! What to do!!!"

  Although she didn't understand why the rope had become a dead knot, Niya gritted her teeth and tightly wrapped the rope around her waist. She freed one hand and took out a dagger from behind her back. Her whole body burst with energy, and a faint golden light appeared on her hand.

  She flicked her hand and the dagger in it flew out like a sharp arrow, making a thud as it accurately lodged itself into the main mast beside Tang Jie.

  Tang Jie flipped his body and grabbed the dagger, pulling it with force, but it didn't budge!

  He was shocked in his heart. In such a stormy rain, at such a distance, he still had such accuracy and power. It can be seen that this woman is indeed skilled!

  Tang Jie took a deep breath and with a sudden burst of strength, he pulled out the dagger with a "clang".

  He grasped the dagger in his hand, feeling its weight and solidity, but at this critical moment, he had no time to look, and simply swung the dagger with force towards the knot.

  This rope was made from carefully selected flax, twisted into strands and then subjected to countless winds and rains, becoming incredibly sturdy. The dagger in Tang Jie's hand was extremely sharp, but when he slashed down at the rope, it only managed to cut a small notch in it.

  Tang Jie slashed down with one knife, expecting the rope to break and fall, but unexpectedly this rope was so sturdy. In a fit of rage, he swung his dagger and chopped fiercely.

  One sword!

  Another knife!

  Suddenly, with a "ka" sound, the resistance on Tang Jie's dagger decreased, and the rope was cut off!

  A huge sail came crashing down from high above and slammed onto the deck.

  Tang Jie hid the dagger in his body at the moment when the wind sail fell, jumped from the wind sail rope to the main mast, hugged the wet and slippery mast with both hands and feet, and was about to go down.

  Just at this moment, the sky and earth suddenly lit up, a low rumble of thunder came, like a terrifying monster, let out a frightening roar, shaking Tang Jie's whole body!

  He took advantage of the momentary brightness brought by the lightning to take a look, and saw that the dark sky was suddenly clear, several tornadoes were twisting like black dragons, connecting the sky and the earth, the sea seemed to have turned into a black furious beast, it was rolling, roaring, waves surging, shocking!

  Black waves crashed down one after another, the sea ship below Tang Jie was like a small leaf in the sky and earth, sometimes being tossed up and sometimes being smashed down!

  Tang Jie felt how small he was in this world and how insignificant human power was!

  Suddenly, a huge wave came over and hit the boat violently!

  Tang Jie felt himself being thrown out by a huge force, and his hands and feet had no strength to grasp the slippery main mast.

  He felt like a small bird flying in the air, his body floating lightly in mid-air!

  At that moment, the surroundings seemed to have become quiet, the howling wind and rain slowly subsiding, amidst the terrifying roar of heaven and earth, Tang Jie clearly heard a strong and powerful voice echoing within his body!

  "Bang! Bang!"

  This is the sound of life's heart beating violently!

  He involuntarily looked down at his body, but saw the black sea as if it had opened a huge mouth, and as long as he fell into the sea, it would swallow him in one gulp!

  The sound of wind, the sound of rain, the sound of huge waves, sweeping across the dark sky!

  Am I going to die?

  Suddenly, a figure flew out from the side of the ship. A woman with golden hair danced wildly, as if frozen in an instant. A flash of lightning illuminated her face, making every feature stand out clearly!

  Bang!

  Tang Jie and Niya's hands were tightly clasped together!

  "Nia shouted loudly: 'Don't let go, hold on!!'"

  Tang Jie's body fell down with such great force that even Niya herself was dragged down by him, and her body actually flipped over the side of the ship!

  Two people fell down suddenly!

  Nia reacted extremely quickly and hooked her foot around the gunwale of the boat, arresting their fall.

  Tang Jie was not only fearless at this critical moment, but his mind was clear and calm. He burst out laughing: "Do you want to steal my thunder?"

  Niya was both shocked and impressed, she hadn't expected that this man she had always looked down on would still be so bold at a moment of life and death. She laughed angrily: "You're stealing my thunder!"

  Tang Jie saw through Nia's body that her feet hooked on the ship's side were trembling, and the wooden railing of the ship's side she was hooked on also made a creaking sound, which would break at any time. He shouted: "Dead woman! Let go quickly, you will fall down too!"

  "Nia shouted: "Damn man! Stop talking nonsense and hurry up, I'll pull you up!"

  But as soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden cracking sound behind her, the wooden railing broke, and Tang Jie and Nia's eyes flashed with a terrified expression, and their bodies suddenly fell downwards!

  In that instant when they both lost their balance and fell downwards, their eyes locked onto each other's, as if time had frozen at that moment. They could see what the other was thinking from each other's eyes.

  Dead woman, you've had your revenge, now are you satisfied?!

  Shut up, man! I've already saved you, no need for so much nonsense!

  The two of them stared at each other, still refusing to give in even at this critical moment!

  Just as they were about to fall down, a strong hand suddenly grasped Niya's ankle tightly!

  "A loud and hoarse voice boomed like thunder: 'Kids, I've got you!' "
