Chapter 1591 (Raw 1573): Subduing the Pirate Ship
“Big Brother Xiao Chen, what should we do? This ship has been following us for about ten hours and shows no signs of changing directions.”
Fei`er added somewhat worriedly, “I saw that Big Brother Xiao Chen was cultivating, so I did not interrupt you.”
Xiao Chen smiled soothingly. “It’s fine. There is no need for you to worry about this. Just go and take care of your senior brother Luo Nan. I’ll deal with this.”
Fei`er nodded obediently and silently withdrew.
After she left, the shrunken Jiao Snake slithered to Xiao Chen’s shoulder and said softly, “There is no need to be nervous. This is an ordinary weak pirate group. The strongest in that group would just be an initiate Minor Primal Core cultivator.”
The Black Scimitar Pirate Group was one of the top ten pirate groups near the Profound Light Great Realm. However, to the Jiao Snake, it was quite insignificant.
Xiao Chen chuckled. “I know. This Tianyi Sect ship is a little slow, and I have not completed my Cycle Throne yet. This is good timing. I can use their pirate ship to speed up the journey and save some time.”
“I was thinking the same. The construction of pirate ships has strict standards. The Pirate Alliance frequently has talented refiners and formation masters. They research all sorts of pirate ships and make them for the various pirate groups.”
When Xiao Chen heard that, he said interestedly, “Pirate Alliance?”
“Yes. This Purple Sun Region is rather isolated, and the many great realms in it do not have many major factions. Only Purple Sun City is slightly more bustling. We can see one of their branches when you go there.”
“Interesting. Even a pirate group actually has an honorable alliance.”
“Haha! This Great Thousand Realms is even more interesting than you imagine. You just arrived and have not even seen the tip of the iceberg yet. When you get to Purple Sun City, it will be a small eye-opener for you.”
“They’re here.”
As Xiao Chen chatted with the Jiao Snake, the Black Scimitar Pirate Group’s ship caught up with breakneck speed.
“You are rather wise, taking the initiative to stop when you saw the black scimitar. This lord will let you off after you hand over ten thousand Spirit Jades.”
The black-clad man on the pirate ship’s deck rejoiced when he saw the ship in front stop. He thought that it was because the ship in front feared the Black Scimitar Pirate Group’s reputation; hence, he did not demand his usual exorbitant price.
When Xiao Chen heard this, he revealed a faint smile. It turned out to be someone familiar. Unexpectedly, that person could still rise up again, obtaining another large ship.
“Ten thousand Spirit Jades? That’s not really a lot. Come over and get it, then.”
The black-clad man frowned slightly. This voice sounded somewhat familiar.
“Captain, this person looks quite familiar. I’ll go over and get the Spirit Jades,” the pirate at the side said with a smile.
“What are you smiling for? Bring the ship closer!”
Feeling somewhat frustrated, the black-clad man rapped hard on that pirate’s head. Then, he got up and walked to the bow of the ship.
When the pirate ship got closer and the black-clad man saw the white-clad Xiao Chen at the top of the ship in front, he started glaring. “Damn! It turns out to be you, you little son of a bitch! There is a path to heaven, but you are not taking it, instead insisting on going to hell at all costs. Charge over and kill everyone on that ship! Don’t touch that white-clad one; leave him for me!”
Xiao Chen was still fresh in the black-clad man’s memory. After his pirate ship was forcefully stripped apart, he became the joke of all the pirate groups around. He would never forget this great humiliation.
“There no need. I think I’ll come over by myself,” Xiao Chen said indifferently. Then, he leaped up and flew towards the pirate ship.
“Don’t block him. Let him come over.” The black-clad man revealed a sinister smile as he placed his right hand on the large saber on his back.
Come on, come on over. This old man will hack you to death with one strike!
The black-clad man mocked him in his heart. The other party was just an insignificant Yin Essence Stage cultivator, yet he dared to copy others and rob ships. Today, the black-clad man would definitely teach him a lesson.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, killing Qi gathered in the black-clad man’s eyes. Before Xiao Chen landed, the black-clad man suddenly drew his saber and hacked.
The black-clad man made a prediction based on Xiao Chen’s current speed, anticipating that the saber light would strike the instant Xiao Chen landed.
The black saber light was like a scary, strong wind, appearing extremely tyrannical.
This was the black-clad man’s best technique, Black Wind Flash!
However, as Xiao Chen descended, his speed increased abruptly.
His figure wavered slightly, appearing like a streamlined Black Ink Tiger as flames lit up on his body.
All of a sudden, Xiao Chen’s linear speed quadrupled.
The black-clad man’s berserk saber strike merely shattered the afterimage that Xiao Chen left behind. The remnant saber light exploded and made the surrounding pirates cry out miserably.
Xiao Chen turned around and drew his saber. In the time it took for a spark to fly, he also made a prediction.
“Whoosh!”
The black-clad man’s saber struck nothing but air. Then, he quickly switched moves. As he turned his head to face Xiao Chen, a dim saber light suddenly appeared, flying towards his neck.
This scared the black-clad man into a hasty retreat. He ran into the railings and stumbled, nearly falling over.
Xiao Chen sheathed his Lunar Shadow Saber and cradled it. Then, he looked at the black-clad man and said, “There is no need to kneel to me. I can’t accept such respect.”
“Kneel, my ass!”
Xiao Chen’s mockery was like oil on a fire. The black-clad old man stabilized himself and leaped up, hacking his saber down on Xiao Chen.
There was only one thought in the black-clad man’s head: to kill Xiao Chen and vent his hatred!
However, the black-clad old man saw Xiao Chen not moving at all when his saber light was about to land. Instead, Xiao Chen looked at him with faint mockery.
There must be a trick!
After all, back then, this brat made many Demon Tone Bats fly out for no reason, reversing the situation.
This was also the ruthless person who ripped apart the black-clad man’s pirate ship. So, the black-clad old man had his guard up.
The black-clad man became uncertain, feeling conflicted. Many openings immediately appeared in his perfect saber move.
When Xiao Chen saw this, he smiled faintly, not even drawing his saber.
Xiao Chen jabbed at the openings of the other party’s saber move. Then, he launched a strong counterattack with his sheathed saber, shaking the black-clad man’s nerve.
The black-clad old man kept backing up, prevented from unleashing the advantages of his cultivation.
“You bastard, how dare you fool me?!”
After being fooled by Xiao Chen, the black-clad man felt so frustrated and wished that he could immediately kill Xiao Chen.
The black-clad man could no longer care so much anymore, suddenly unleashing all his aura.
He completely unleashed the aura of a Primal Core Realm expert, making the surrounding pirates afraid and retreat continuously.
The pressure on Xiao Chen’s body increased significantly. Now, he knew that the pirate leader was truly enraged and was going to fight it out with him.
Xiao Chen could not help analyzing this. This black-clad man’s strength was fine, but his mental state was no good.
After shaking his head, Xiao Chen softly said something to the Jiao Snake.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was still not moving, the black-clad man roared, “You bastard, are you still trying to fool me? If this old man does not hack you to death this time, I’ll take on your family name!”
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The black-clad old man quickly charged at him. With every step he took, the pirate ship jolted intensely as if it encountered a huge wave in the sea, shaking continuously.
The pirates aboard could not stand stably. Their bodies swayed left and right as they did their best to grab on to something.
“It looks like you are going to have to take my family name.”
“Boom!”
Suddenly, the unremarkable little black snake on Xiao Chen’s shoulders enlarged, and the Jiao Snake stood next to Xiao Chen.
The aura of a late-stage Major Primal Core cultivator poured from the Jiao Snake as it looked down from high above with its pair of scarlet eyes, gazing coldly at the black-clad man.
“Pu ci!”
The aura of the black-clad man instantly crumbled. A great sense of helplessness flooded his body.
Under the cold gaze of the Jiao Snake, the black-clad man trembled and dismissed the move he was preparing to execute.
The black-clad man was frightened into shivering. Then, he collapsed to the deck and scrambled back repeatedly.
“A late-stage Major Primal Core Realm ferocious beast!”
The black-clad man revealed an extremely horrified expression. As if a pool of ice water extinguished his berserk rage, in its place was only boundless fear.
“This little one was too blind to recognize your greatness. I’ll apologize to Senior, no, to Young Hero.” The black-clad man put down his saber and knelt, apologizing to Xiao Chen.
There was an impassable chasm between a Minor Primal Core cultivator and a Major Primal Core cultivator. Furthermore, the black-clad man was only an initiate Minor Primal Core cultivator.
The Jiao Snake, on the other hand, was infinitely close to reaching the Cloud Sea Realm. It was a god-like existence to the black-clad man, an existence that he could not resist.
It would be easy for the Jiao Snake to crush the black-clad man without a second thought.
Even if the black-clad man did not want to submit, he had to. Even if he did not want to kneel, he had to.
Xiao Chen said indifferently, “Get up. I’ve already said it. I’m not worthy of you kneeling.
“You can, you definitely can. Big Brother, just speak. This little one will listen while kneeling.” The black-clad man spoke humbly while enduring the humiliation.
This black-clad man was flexible, which was rather impressive. Since he wanted to kneel, so be it.
“What is your name?”
“This little one is Wang Suo.”
“Alright. Wang Suo, right now, this ship belongs to me. You and your subordinates will have to listen to me. Immediately change course for the Purple Sun Great Realm.”
“Damn!”
Wang Suo could not help cursing. Previously, Xiao Chen dismantled his ship. This time, he was even more ruthless, directly confiscating it.
Xiao Chen just looked at the other party without saying anything.
“Big Brother is right. This little brother will break the contract and surrender the ship.” Wang Suo’s heart bled. However, he had no choice but to submit.
Why am I so unlucky to run into this jinx twice and come off worse each time?
