Chapter 1570 (Raw 1552): Experienced with Age
For the air a person exuded to be strong, it had to be the result of true nobility or gained amid a bloody rain, undergoing all sorts of experiences—both joyous and grievous—becoming a legend.
Clearly, Xiao Chen was the latter. Such an air was even more suppressive than that of people born to nobility.
The two Black Scimitar pirates in front of Xiao Chen trembled slightly. The pressure they felt was even greater than that from their boss.
“Stop acting all mysterious. You are just an insignificant Veritable Essence Stage bladesman!”
The pirate on the left, whose cultivation was higher—a Yang Essence Stage cultivator—suppressed the fear in his heart and roared out. He drummed up his courage and charged at Xiao Chen.
“This is just false bravado, deceiving both yourself and others. Do you think that it is true courage?”
Xiao Chen revealed a disdainful smile on his face while the other party attacked quickly, projecting a strong aura. However, the other party’s steps were flustered; he was nervous and very restless.
Had the other party remained still, he would have had fewer openings.
When the pirate moved, the number of openings increased.
In the time it took for a spark to fly, the pirate’s saber light was about to chop down.
Xiao Chen’s figure flickered, leaving behind an afterimage on the deck. In the next moment, a leg appeared. The foot moved past the saber, sliding through the many openings, and accurately struck the other party’s chin.
“Ka ca!” That pirate got kicked into the air. When he landed, he remained on the deck, twitching but unable to step up again.
The remaining Yin Essence Stage pirate was frightened silly. He even dropped everything and fled, not daring to block Xiao Chen anymore.
These were so-called nobodies. Naturally, there was no need to bother with them.
Although the cultivations of these pirates were pretty good, their mental states were far inferior to Xiao Chen’s.
It was like a beggar meeting a crown prince. No matter how strong the beggar was, the beggar would be intimidated by the prince’s air, feeling constrained.
Xiao Chen kicked open the door of the hold and walked in boldly, without any hesitation.
—
“He’s going in!”
“That white-clad bladesman charged into the Black Scimitar pirate ship!”
“How can it be? How can that Veritable Essence Stage fellow’s strength be so heaven-defying?!”
Not only were the disciples of the Tianyi Sect astonished at this sight, but the pirates were incredibly astonished as well. They all wondered if they saw wrong.
Fei`er smiled and said, “Senior Brother, didn’t I say it? That white-clad bladesman is incredible. Look, he even entered the pirate ship’s hold.”
Luo Nan thought to himself, If it were me, I could handle three pirates by myself too.
However, it was hard to say whether Luo Nan could do it as easily as Xiao Chen.
“Humph! He is just seeking death. There is definitely a half-step Primal Core expert guarding the control room in the hold!”
Although Luo Nan was shocked at Xiao Chen’s strength, his words were still very unkind.
“Bunch of trash can’t even stop an insignificant Veritable Essence Stage bladesman. This is preposterous!”
The pirate leader, who was fighting with the blue-clad old man, was angered into trembling. He wished that he could personally go over and kill Xiao Chen.
However, the blue-clad old man was as immovable as a mountain. He stuck close to the other party, hoping that Xiao Chen would cause an even larger commotion.
“Old fogey, don’t get cocky. My second brother is guarding the ship. That fellow is just seeking his own death. There is no need to send anyone to help,” the black-clad man said hatefully, thoroughly upset.
Right now, the situation was delicate, no longer like it was earlier. The blue-clad old man said, “Then, let’s see whether your subordinates kill my disciples first or I defeat you first.”
For both parties, as long as one side ended their battle, the victor would be quickly decided.
With three pirates less, the disciples on the Tianyi Sect’s ship felt much more relaxed.
More importantly, Luo Nan and Fei`er were outstanding talents of the Tianyi Sect with a strength that surpassed their own cultivation. After familiarizing themselves with the pirates’ combat style, they were able to display their true strength.
—
The structure of the pirate ship’s hold was very disorganized. There were ten-odd rooms of various sizes for different purposes.
Xiao Chen headed straight for the core control room. His Spiritual Sense had already detected a half-step Primal Core Realm expert inside.
As he rushed over, he silently stored up power for the Dragon Blood Soul Breaking Finger.
He was not prepared to fight a half-step Primal Core Realm expert. This was neither the right place nor time. Hence, he planned to kill that half-step Primal Core Realm expert in one strike. That would be the tyrannical way.
“Crash!”
Xiao Chen kicked the door to the control room open. There was a middle-aged man, who looked rather young, in the room, who coldly eyed Xiao Chen.
“The youths nowadays are getting increasingly bolder. You are just an insignificant Veritable Essence Stage cultivator, yet you dare to target our Black Scimitar Pirate Group’s ship,” the middle-aged man roared angrily. Then, he quickly and ferociously charged at Xiao Chen.
Baleful Yang Energy and Baleful Yin Energy slowly spun around in that middle-aged man’s palm in a delicate balance.
That person’s body had also attained some sort of balance, aligned with the world.
When this person leaped up, the entire space moved with him, putting great pressure on Xiao Chen.
“Whoosh!”
This middle-aged person moved very fast, not giving Xiao Chen any space to breathe, preparing to kill him.
However, a finger stretched out in the time it took for a spark to fly. The tip of this finger flickered with a scarlet light.
“Soul Dao Martial Technique!”
Panic flashed in that middle-aged man’s eyes. He wanted to move back quickly, but he was already moving forward very fast. It was not that easy to reverse direction.
Xiao Chen extended his finger and tapped the middle-aged man’s forehead. It was like that middle-aged man delivered himself.
The eyes of the second-in-charge of this pirate group slowly turned listless, his soul having received severe damage.
“To think that you did not die on the spot.”
The resilience of the soul of a half-step Primal Core Realm cultivator was extraordinary.
Startled, Xiao Chen dropped his arm and formed a fist, then struck the other party’s dantian with two Cauldron Force.
“Bang!” A hole appeared in the roof of the control room. The second-in-command of the pirate group vomited a mouthful of blood as he flew out.
“Second Brother!”
The pirate leader, who was fighting with the blue-clad old man, happened to see this scene. The sight of his second brother flying out incensed him.
The pirate leader nearly went mad with rage, blowing his top.
“How can this be?! My second brother is a half-step Primal Core Realm cultivator. How can he be helpless against an insignificant Veritable Essence Stage bladesman? Return to the ship! All of you, return to the ship and kill that fellow!”
The black-clad leader was no longer in the mood to continue fighting. After he called out to the pirates on the Tianyi Sect’s ship, they all returned to their pirate ship.
The blue-clad old man’s eyes flickered. Actually, he could have kept the pirate leader there. However, the astute man chose not to.
“Master, that half-step Primal Core expert on the pirate’s side is dead. Let’s call out Second Martial Uncle and kill this group of pirates,” Luo Nan immediately suggested after arriving at the blue-clad old man’s side.
There was a half-step Primal Core Realm expert in the control room of this ship as well.
“Master, let’s make a move. If we still do not, that white-clad bladesman who saved us will die.”
The blue-clad old man’s expression remained calm as he ignored Luo Nan’s rashness and Fei`er’s anxiety. He replied indifferently, “It’s not time yet. Let’s watch first.”
Inside the control room, Xiao Chen was aware of what was going on outside.
“Life Bestowal Spell,” Xiao Chen muttered, and many Demon Tone Bat sculptures flew out from the control room. There were more than twenty of them, and one of them was even a golden-patterned Demon Tone Bat.
“Boss, there are Demon Tone Bats!”
“There are many Demon Tone Bats, even a leader-class Demon Tone Bat!”
The pirates who landed on the ship saw the group of Demon Tone Bats suddenly fly out. They were scared silly and hastily retreated in a fluster.
A few of the pirates were too slow, and the sharp claws of the Demon Tone Bats dug deep into their chests, breaking a few ribs.
Blood spurted out, and these pirates died in agony.
“Chi! Chi!”
The golden-patterned Demon Tone Bat appeared and dug its sharp claws deep into the roof of the pirate ship’s hold. The other Demon Tone Bats surrounded it and stood in a line, giving off strange cries.
The black-clad man, who was about to burst with rage, felt like he was splashed with cold water. His heart instantly turned cold.
“Demon Tone Bats... Damnation! Since when did my pirate ship become a bat’s nest?!”
A strange light flashed in the blue-clad old man’s eyes. At this moment, he finally made his move, leading the Tianyi Sect disciples over together with a half-step Primal Core Realm expert.
The old man appeared very righteous, inspiring awe as he shouted, “Black Scimitar Pirate Group, today will be the death anniversary of your pirate group!”
