On the Black Cutlass's lookout tower, Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed the painting that turned into a saber light.
A look of joy appeared on Xiao Chen's face. He had obtained the painting, although he did not know what it was.
If it could incite two Star Venerates to fight over it, it would definitely be priceless and immeasurable.
At the same time, Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised that the two Star Venerates were still fighting, not chasing after him together as he had expected.
"That is …"
Before Xiao Chen could unfurl the painting, he looked around and discovered several figures quickly chasing the Black Cutlass.
Figures clad in golden armor dashed across the Starry Sea.
The weakest among them was an early-stage Major Primal Core cultivator. The strongest was actually like the Iron Hand Yama, a peak Major Primal Core cultivator.
"It's the people from the Divine Shield Corps. They chased after the painting."
After putting away the painting, Xiao Chen gave the order, and the Black Cutlass accelerated.
"Want to leave? It won't be that easy."
The peak Major Primal Core Venerate wearing dark-gold Battle Armor roared and sent out a sword light.
As the sword light descended, the sea of stars was cut in half, and the sword qi continued to spread forward.
It looked like it wanted to chop the Black Cutlass in half along with the seawater.
In a fluster, Xiao Suo controlled the Black Cutlass to change directions, narrowly dodging that sword Qi.
However, the Black Cutlass could not avoid the huge waves it kicked up. As the waves surged, the Black Cutlass rocked in the water, its speed dropping rapidly.
"Light of Divine Shield, Illuminate the Stars!"
Sou sou sou!
The Divine Shield Army cultivators behind the dark-gold-armored Venerate held up their golden shields and shot out beams of light. They gathered in the air above the Black Cutlass and formed a clump of blazing flames.
"Chi! Chi!" Heat waves surged into the air. Even the seawater below gave off strange sounds because of the formation. The Black Cutlass slowed down again.
"Captain, our formation has been disrupted. A few nodes have been burnt."
"Damn it! The consumption of Spirit Jades has also doubled."
"The seawater has turned into mud. What's going on?"
The bad news made Xiao Chen's expression sink slightly. Unexpectedly, the Divine Shield Army moved so quickly.
Almost at the same time, he chased after the painting.
Xiu Xiu Xiu!
A few more vast sword Qi chopped down. The Black Cutlass dodged left and right, but it still got struck.
Immediately, the entire ship started shaking. The cultivators on the ship all felt their Qi and blood tremble.
The ship swayed along with the waves, making it difficult for people to distinguish between north, south, east and west.
"Stop."
Xiao Chen decisively got Xiao Suo to stop. If they continued to flee, they would be exhausted to death by the other party sooner or later.
Xiu Xiu Xiu!
The dark-gold-armored Venerate held a broadsword similar to the Sword General's. He led eight early-stage and late-stage Major Primal Core Venerates to the front of the Black Cutlass pirate ship.
"Don't act rashly. I'll stall for time. You guys get ready to counterattack at any time."
After sending a voice projection, Xiao Chen gently leaped up from the watchtower and landed firmly on the bow.
His white robes and long hair fluttered in the wind as he stared at the other party across the sea.
"What can I do for you?"
The white-clad Xiao Chen stood under the Black Cutlass's war banner on the bow of the ship, looking calmly at the dark-gold-armored Venerate.
The dark-gold-armored Venerate did not smile. As he held his broadsword, his expression turned grave and stern. Killing Qi surged around him, causing the seawater to surge.
"Receive the general's orders. Leave behind the Saber Manual, and we can let you go. At the same time, you can become an honored guest of the Divine Shield Army. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can seek the Divine Shield Army for help. "
The Sword General thought that Xiao Chen was a Noble Clan outstanding talent of the Central Great Realm with an extraordinary background. Hence, he did not want to offend him too much, so he used a more polite tone.
Of course, that was on the premise that Xiao Chen was willing to obediently hand over the Saber Manual.
"Saber Manual?"
It turned out that the painting was a Saber Manual. Xiao Chen could not help feeling even more curious. What kind of Saber Manual could make the Savage Blood Pirate Group destroy a Rank 3 sect to obtain it?
Collecting his thoughts, Xiao Chen asked calmly, "Is the Saber Manual your general's?"
The dark-gold-armored Venerate did not know that Xiao Chen was stalling for time. Even if he knew, he would not react. The other party was merely a half-step Primal Core cultivator, and the pirate ship was ordinary. He did not care about it at all.
Xiao Chen had managed to stop this pirate ship with a few attacks earlier. This was sufficient proof.
"You do not need to know whether it is or not. You only need to answer: are you going to hand it over or not?"
Right after the dark-gold-armored Venerate spoke, the eight gold-armored cultivators behind gathered their killing Qi. A sharp light appeared on their foreheads.
Clearly, they were prepared to attack at any moment, only waiting for the order.
When Xiao Chen heard what the dark-gold-armored Venerate said, he rolled his eyes. "Since it is not your general's, then you are forcefully snatching it. Since when did the Divine Shield Army become so shameless?"
The dark-gold-armored Venerate's expression did not change. He did not care about Xiao Chen's mocking at all. "Hand it over or not. I'll give you three seconds to consider. Three … two … "
"Neptune's Rage, fire!"
Without waiting for the other party to finish counting down, Xiao Chen gave the order, and the Black Cutlass turned sideways. "Ka! Ka! Ka!" The melodious sound of gears clicking rang out continuously. The sixteen peak 4-Star Neptune's Rages bared their fangs.
Without giving these people any time to be shocked, the Neptune's Rages fired at the same time.
"Boom!"
The compressed Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons howled as they shot out. The explosions were like divine thunder shaking the heavens. The seawater surged for five thousand kilometers around.
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. He discovered that in the time it took for a spark to fly, the gold-armored cultivators behind the dark-gold-armored Venerate had taken the initiative to raise their shields and block the cannons of the Neptune's Rages.
When the surging waves scattered, a huge golden shield of light flickered five hundred kilometers away.
"Neptune's Rages, continue!"
Xiao Chen gave the order expressionlessly.
"A peak 4-Star pirate ship!"
Traces of blood leaked out of the lips of the eight gold-armored cultivators, their faces filled with shock.
The dark-gold-armored Venerate behind them was not injured at all. His expression turned cold. Even in the face of such a situation, he remained calm.
The dark-gold-armored Venerate looked around and fixed his gaze on Xiao Chen, who was on the deck.
Xiao Chen immediately felt his entire body turn cold. A cold Qi assaulted him, causing him to tremble slightly.
How strong!
"Follow me."
The dark-gold-armored Venerable said indifferently. Not only did he not retreat, but he even charged towards the cannon fire.
An extremely compressed Ancient Demonic Energy Cannon flew over. The dark-gold-armored Venerate used his left hand to block the sword. The broad sword immediately blocked most of the dark-gold-armored Venerate's body as he clashed with the Ancient Demonic Energy Cannon.
"Boom!"
A loud sound rang out, and the light from the Ancient Demonic Energy Cannon radiated out. However, the dark-gold-armored Venerate was not injured at all. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
The dark-gold-armored Venerate advanced ferociously as he faced the cannon fire of the 4-Star Neptune's Rages, his figure flashing.
When the dark-gold-armored Venerate approached, the many peak 4-Star ballistae on the tower fired out a net of specially made arrows.
The dark-gold-armored Venerate swung his broadsword, and the sound of a vast army galloping resounded in the air. All the arrows flying at him shattered in the air.
The dark-gold-armored Venerate's figure flickered, sweeping through everything before him, displaying an unparalleled aura.
"Die!"
The dark-gold-armored Venerate pointed his broadsword at Xiao Chen. Then, he thrust his sword forward, showing his sharpness.
The entire ship shook intensely before the other party's ferocious aura. Everyone felt a tremor that came from the bottom of their hearts, as well as waves of fear.
Can I block it?
Even if I can't, I have to block it. Otherwise, everyone on the ship will die.
At the crucial moment of life and death, Xiao Chen remained exceptionally calm. He drew the Lunar Shadow Saber and spun around.
"Instant of Glory!"
Supported by Great Dao Energy, Xiao Chen instantly executed Instant of Glory. A vast painting appeared in the air, blocking the dark-gold-armored Venerate.
"Ka ca!"
The painting blocked for only a moment before the broadsword pierced through it, turning it into countless shards.
"Flawless Saber Technique, Heartbreaking Stance!"
Xiao Chen's heart shattered, and intense pain spread out. Under the pressure of pain, all the potential in his body burst forth.
The dark-gold-armored Venerate's saber buzzed, trembling endlessly. Clashing with the other party's broadsword, Xiao Chen shouted coldly and charged over without hesitation.
"Dang!"
The saber and sword clashed. Xiao Chen's arm went numb, and he vomited a mouthful of blood. The Lunar Shadow Saber nearly flew out of his hand.
Xiao Chen's body, which was in midair, immediately fell. However, the dark-gold-armored Venerate's broadsword trembled for a moment before continuing to descend on his head.
Unexpectedly, his heart was injured.
The dark-gold-armored Venerate frowned slightly. Clearly, he had not expected Xiao Chen to be able to injure his internal organs with one saber strike.
Fortunately, the dark-gold-armored Venerate had vast accumulations and a deep cultivation, so he did not suffer from this attack.
Below, Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes, and his lips curled up in a smile. The opportunity that he had been waiting for finally arrived.
Earlier, it looked like the dark-gold-armored Venerate blocked Xiao Chen's saber strike. However, the sword trembled, and a weak opening appeared in its move.
