Lei Wujie laughed out loud happily. Even though they were hundreds of zhang apart, Xiao Se and the rest on the ship could hear him clearly. Even Sikong Qianluo had to ask, "Is it really okay for him to provoke them like this?"

Xiao Se shook his head. "He’s not trying to provoke them. He probably just found something really funny."

"He shouldn't have boarded that ship." Tian Mozhi spoke his words softly and took a step back.

Mu Chunfeng asked, "Should we board that ship too?"

Xiao Se shook his head. "No can do. This skill of walking on waves is something only Lei Wujie can do with his lightness skill, or a martial expert of the Unfettered Heavenly Realm. We can’t do it."

Mu Chunfeng thought about it. "Then, let’s sail over."

That was indeed the only way, but even Xiao Se was alarmed when he heard the words. He knew that Mu Chunfeng was a bold person, but he didn’t expect the man to suggest something so ridiculously shocking. It’s always been a pirate ship chasing a merchant ship, never a merchant ship running after a pirate ship. Xiao Se once said that Mu Chunfeng had read so many books that he was a little silly, but he didn’t expect stupidity to this degree.

Yet he also appreciated it, so he nodded. "Okay."

Mu Chunfeng drew forth his peerless sword named Moving Mountains and swung it with a loud yell, "Set sail!"

The cedar longboat Golden Cross immediately turned its bow and headed towards the pirate ship.

At the same time, on that ship, Lei Wujie was in the midst of laughing when he saw an arrow shooting towards his wide-opened mouth. He swung his sword and easily slashed the arrow down, shaking his head. "Pirates really have bad tempers too."

The one-eyed man stood up and drew his own sabre. The back edge of the sabre was full of metal rings and when he moved, they clinked noisily. He glared at Lei Wujie. "Who are you?"

"Lei Wujie," Lei Wujie replied with a smile.

"What are you doing on our boat?" the one-eyed man asked him.

Lei Wujie thought about it and returned a slight frown. "I came to see what pirates looked like."

The one-eyed man got so furious that he laughed. "Have you seen enough?"

"I’ve seen enough." Lei Wujie nodded. "But, it’s not right to be a pirate. After all, pirates kill people and plunder goods, all unconscionable acts that must be stopped. So, I want to advise you guys to put down your butcher knives and turn back to shore. So, I have one more thing to do here."

"And what’s that?" The one-eyed man raised his sabre.

Lei Wujie whirled around and looked up at the warhawk flag fluttering in the wind as a grin appeared on his face. Then, he took a flying leap and followed after Tang Lian’s example, walking up the mast one step after another. A cold light flashed in his hand as he lifted his sword to slash at that warhawk flag.

He intended to tear up that headless warhawk flag with a single sword!

However, the one-eyed man followed right behind, his lightness skill no less adept. He grabbed onto the mast and leaped up, wielding the long sabre in his hand and slashing it down at Lei Wujie.

Lei Wujie had no choice but to withdraw his Heart sword to block the sabre first, then he lifted one foot to kick the man off. The man hurriedly turned sideways and blocked the kick with his sabre. However, Lei Wujie landed his kick on the blade of the sabre which pressed onto the man’s chest. The man fell straight towards the ship’s deck and smashed a large hole in the middle of the deck.

Lei Wujie spun around and landed steadily.

The pirates stared at him, eyes wide with disbelief. Then, someone shouted, "Why… why are they coming over?"

The pirates were shocked as they realised that the cedar longboat was sailing towards them. They had been pirates for so many years and this was the first time they had seen such a ridiculous spectacle. They couldn’t help but be caught off guard.

Lei Wujie laughed and prepared to make his way up to cut down that war flag again.

"You’d better not look down on people," a deep and dignified voice sounded.

Voice represented qi and the qi in this person’s voice was very strong. Lei Wujie froze immediately and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

He saw a man dressed in white walking out of the cabin. His clothes were completely white, clean and flawless, and his face was as handsome and fine as jade. He wore a jade ring on his finger and tugged at it with his thumb, just like the noble sons of the aristocratic families in Heavenly Revelations City. His appearance was elegant and also very young, perhaps not even thirty yet. He was very far from the impression of pirates that Lei Wujie imagined.

"Are you also a pirate?" Lei Wujie said blankly.

"Don’t I look it?" The noble son in white even took a folding fan out of his sleeves and waved it gently.

"Not at all," Lei Wujie replied frankly.

"Pirates also have our own style. The ancients say, with a folding fan and a breeze, while we laugh and chat, we send you to your doom." The noble son in white laughed casually. "Those vulgar and savage pirates are beneath my dignity. I want to dress all in white, without a drop of blood on my hands, while a thousand miles of territorial waters flow with blood."

"Because I am the king of this thousand miles of territorial waters."

"My Prince[4], they’re here," one of the pirates walked forward and whispered.

The man in white turned around and looked at the oncoming ship. His eyes flashed with astonishment. "Are there really such people in the world who aren’t afraid of death?"

"Don't underestimate them." Another voice came, but it was a middle-aged man armed with a spear and wearing battle armor. The armor seemed a bit old and worn out. He had a stern face and he looked at Lei Wujie. "I recognize the sword in your hand. Which clan or sect in Beili are you from?"

"That’s a bit complicated." Lei Wujie scratched his head and continued to say, "My name is Lei Wujie."

"Internal strength, imparted by Lei Hong of Lei Clan Fort from the Thunderbolt Hall of Jiangnan."

"Swordsmanship, imparted by Snow Moon City’s Second Citymaster, Li Hanyi."

"Sword formula, imparted by Sword Heart Tomb’s Tombmaster, Li Suwang."

This kind of clan or sect background in the martial world of Beili, no matter where you speak of it, would cause others a fright. But, the man in white and the man armed with a spear barely reacted at all as they exchanged a look.

The man looked at his comrade questioningly, but the man armed with a spear only shook his head slightly.

"How about you? You should introduce yourself too," Lei Wujie said slowly. "You’re the king of this thousand miles of territorial waters, but how should I address you? How about Pirate King?"

"My Prince, please stand back," the man with the spear said frostily.

The man in white hesitated for a while, but he stepped aside.

Lei Wujie looked at the spear in the other man’s hand. "Are you going to fight me?"

The man with the spear nodded. "Please begin."

"What's your name?" Lei Wujie asked.

"I'm not sure yet, whether or not you’re qualified to ask for my name." The man with the spear took a step forward.

Lei Wujie tightened his grip on the Heart sword and said with a smile, "Senior, you’re very confident."

"You have very good teachers, and have also achieved a realm that others rarely do. But, it’s still not enough." The man raised his spear, his expression faintly angry.

"How is it not enough?" Lei Wujie asked.

"You don't yet know life and death. The experience of life and death is far more important than any realm!" The man with the spear stepped forward and attacked Lei Wujie with a spear move.

The spear was known as the king of soldiers and was the most commonly used weapon in the army. There were also quite a few sects in the martial world who practiced the spear but in the last ten over years, they had mostly withered out. It was because that spear was too famous. Amongst all under Heaven, there were five sword immortals and three sabre immortals, but only one spear immortal.

Bai Xiao Hall once said that of all the spear power under Heaven, he possessed eight-tenths of them!

That was none other than Spear Immortal Sikong Changfeng, Third Citymaster of Snow Moon City. In terms of age, he was older than Li Hanyi by a few years, but because he entered the sect later, he was placed third. But, those of the older generation in the martial world and in Snow Moon City know very well that Sikong Changfeng was the true Citymaster of Snow Moon City.

Lei Wujie had a good relationship with Sikong Changfeng, so he was very shocked when he met that spear move, because that spear move, although not as domineering as Sikong Changfeng’s spear which seized an entire galeforce, was extremely similar!

Lei Wujie's Heart sword collided with the spear. Although he was shocked inside, his sword aura did not show any sign of retreat and he forcefully pressed that long spear down. The spear withdrew slightly, then the spear’s shaft vibrated once and like a dragon, it went straight for Lei Wujie’s throat. Lei Wujie drew a sword flower and easily blocked the spear.

The man with the spear nodded. "You’re not bad."

"Then I will tell you my name."

"My name is Wang Pichuan."

There was something familiar about this name, as if he’d heard it somewhere before. Lei Wujie withdrew his sword and retreated a step. He thought back carefully, and received a huge shock!
