Tan Xiu had been in the Immortal World for tens of thousands of years, and killing was a common occurrence there. It was a cruel and bloody world where people ate each other. This was the Heavenly Dao's rule: big fish eat small fish, while small fish eat shrimps. If you don't kill, others will kill you. If you want to live, go further, and become stronger, you must tread on a mountain of corpses and tread on a sea of blood to advance.
On an island.
More than 1,000 people.
For the former Tan Xiu, this was a cruel slaughter, and perhaps the number of innocent people involved would be no less than this. He respected life, but he didn't care about the lives of those who deserved to die.
Being a pirate.
It was like tying one's head to one's belt. While killing others, one must also be prepared to be killed by others.
Looking at Karen's hesitant expression, Tan Xiu indifferently said, "I'm starting to suspect whether your Sacred Flame is a softhearted person or not. If you're always softhearted, then I'll have to hesitate about activating the nine Sacred Flame Orders. Because it's impossible to complete my plan with such an attitude. "
Karen's expression changed. She noticed that her companions around were glaring at her angrily. Her face immediately turned cold and she said in a deep voice, "Mr. Tang, our Sacred Flame is more or less the same as mercenaries. Since we've accepted the mission, we'll execute it perfectly. Let alone those who deserve to die, we won't be softhearted even if they're innocent and pitiful. Just now, I was softhearted and had a trace of benevolence in my heart. I assure you that this kind of benevolence will never exist again in the future. Our Sacred Flame's motto is that everything depends on money. "
"That's right!"
Tan Xiu nodded with satisfaction and said, "You're pursuing money. Everything else is secondary. You must be pure for the sake of money. Kill anyone who stops you from making money. Humans die for wealth, and birds die for food. Money is everything in this world. "
A complicated look flashed in Karen's eyes as she nodded without saying a word. More than 200 members of Sacred Flame in the surroundings, on the other hand, wore fanatical looks and looked at Tang Xiu with incomparable reverence.
Even the black man strode to Tan Xiu and excitedly said, "I really hope you can join us, Mr. Tang. Your ideology is exactly the same as the highest principle of our Sacred Flame. If you are willing to join us, I will personally speak to the Fire God and ask him to bestow upon you the position of a regional manager. "
The corners of Tan Xiu's mouth curled up as he asked with a faint smile, "Do you think I'm short of money?"
The big black man's breathing stagnated and he immediately looked a bit embarrassed. However, he still braced himself and said, "I know you're very rich, Mr. Tang. You can even take out 10 billion USD for this mission. It can be said that you're the richest employer I've ever seen. However, no one would complain about having more money. Even if you had 100 billion USD, you would not be the richest person in the world. Don't you want to have more money, more wealth, enjoy the best service in the world, and live the most comfortable life? "
"Money is supreme?"
Tan Xiu secretly sneered inwardly and disdainfully said, "Money may have a great effect in your eyes, but it's meaningless in my eyes. When you arrested Chen Zhizhong, you should have investigated his information, right? Do you think Chen Zhizhong is rich? "
"He's a bit rich, but not too rich," said the big black man. "According to our investigation, the wealth of his Endless Virtue Pharmaceutical is about 5 billion USD. This amount of money is not even enough to activate the Nine Dao Sacred Flame Order. "
"Chen Zhizhong is my apprentice, one of my in-name apprentices," said Tan Xiu without being salty nor light. "My wealth is at least a hundred times more than his. Do you think I can spend it all in my lifetime? "
Hiss …
When the black man heard this, he suddenly gasped in shock. More than 200 members of the Sacred Flame in the surroundings looked at Tan Xiu as though they had seen a ghost, as though they had just heard the most unbelievable thing in the world.
Trillions in wealth?
Who else could have trillions in wealth aside from those terrifying super families? This Mr. Tang should be from China, but they had never heard of any super rich people in China!
"Money is indeed a good thing," continued Tan Xiu. "But money is just like dung in my eyes. What I'm pursuing is power. You're very poor now, so you need to continue pursuing money. When you have money that you can't spend, you'll begin to pursue power and pursue the essence of life. "
Poor?
More than two hundred members of Sacred Flame all wore wry smiles on their faces. Which one of them didn't have tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in wealth? Although they were not super rich, they were still much stronger than many people, right?
However!
They recalled the terrifying wealth of this guy in front of them. More than 200 people groaned inwardly. Indeed, compared to him, we're really poor and destitute.
Shortly after …
Several experts of the Tang Sect and more than a dozen experts of the Sacred Flame stayed on the luxury liner, while the rest followed Tan Xiu to Sunny Island.
Facing the dozens of aggressive pirates and watching them quickly pull the trigger, Tan Xiu didn't even need to give an order as the Sacred Flame's experts rushed forward like lightning. Blade lights flashed, sword shadows flew, and bullets splashed everywhere, not injuring anyone at all. The dozens of fierce-looking pirates had their heads chopped off and their bodies torn apart. In just a short moment, they were already dead.
"Kill them! Kill those pirates as fast as you can! Do remember to leave a few of them alive and force them to tell me the whereabouts of my disciple, Chen Zhizhong! "Tan Xiu flew ashore and shouted in a deep voice.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Figures flickered toward the island lightning-fast. Along with the sound of gunfire, it didn't take long before Chi Nan returned and reported, "Sect Master, the fifth island is called Yin Island. Chen Zhizhong is being held there. I heard that the pirate leader has driven away all the people on Yin Island in the past seven days. It seems that he's performing a ritual. "
A cold light flashed in Tan Xiu's eyes and he shouted in a deep voice, "Notify everyone to return to the ship and then we'll head to the fifth island immediately."
Five minutes later.
All the people who left returned. The passenger ship set sail again at its fastest speed and rushed toward the fifth island more than 100 nautical miles away. Tan Xiu understood that he must race against time to save Chen Zhizhong. Otherwise, he would be in more danger if he delayed for even a minute.
After the fast sailing, Tan Xiu could already see the corridor of the Yin Island from the deck. However, at this time, four passenger ships quickly sailed from the direction of the Yin Island. Tan Xiu looked at the bow of the four passenger ships. There were strong men in black training suits and holding various weapons.
"Stop the passenger ships in front or we'll kill you!"
A loud broadcast came from the four passenger ships.
With a disdainful look on his face, Tan Xiu shouted in a deep voice, "Everyone, listen to my order. Don't pay attention to their words. Just rush over and kill them all."
After saying that …
He directly grabbed Chi Nan's shoulder and the two of them soared into the air and flew toward the Yin Island. When the four burly pirates with swords and sabers flew up to intercept them, Tan Xiu unleashed his divine sword and slashed at the four without hesitation. Sword shadows extended for hundreds of meters. The four burly men didn't have time to dodge and were smashed to pieces by the sword shadows.
"So strong!"
The black man and more than 200 experts of the Sacred Flame organization gasped when they saw Tan Xiu's violent strike. They couldn't understand why Tan Xiu would spend so much money to hire them given his terrifying strength.
After a while …
Tan Xiu and Chi Nan set foot on the fifth island, Yin Island. However, killing intent surged in the eyes of the 13 black-robed old men with long sabers in their hands. They sneered and said, "The real experts have finally appeared. But you can't stop me with your strength. Chi Nan, I'll leave them to you. Kill them! "
"Understood!"
A powerful aura erupted from Chi Nan's body. She unleashed her immortal sword and flashed toward the 13 black-robed old men like a lightning bolt. Her attack was extremely fast and powerful. At least, she was much stronger than the 13 black-robed old men. Therefore, Chi Nan's attack alone was enough to make the 13 of them have a drastic change in expression as they struggled to resist.
Tan Xiu continuously released his spiritual sense and covered a radius of several kilometers. He then flew toward the center of the island. A few minutes later, he saw a strange altar within the range of his spiritual sense. On top of the altar was Chen Zhizhong, who had 13 sharp sabers stabbed into his body. In front of the altar was a bald man who knelt on his knees and kept chanting a strange incantation.
Suddenly …
The bald man's figure vanished into thin air. When he reappeared, he had transformed into a Black Dragon and instantly appeared in front of Tang Xiu. The ferocious appearance of the Black Dragon made Tang Xiu jump in fright.
However, a disdainful look appeared on Tan Xiu's face after a while. He sneered and said, "I'm not its match for a real black dragon whose strength is comparable to that of an Immortal for the time being. But a black dragon transformed from a black dragon is nothing but an ant in my eyes. DIE FOR ME! "
The divine sword suddenly expanded.
The violent sword shadow instantly slashed the black dragon's head. As the black dragon howled and dissipated, the black-robed bald man was sent flying backward.
"Blood sacrifice! Array refinement!"
The black-robed bald man spurted out a mouthful of blood. As he was sent flying backward, his hands constantly streaked in the air and the blood gradually condensed into dozens of blood-colored talisman seals.
"It's just an insignificant skill. It's hardly presentable."
Tan Xiu could see the mystery of the black-robed bald man's secret technique at a glance. As the divine sword swept over, dozens of blood-colored talisman seals vanished into thin air. Almost in an instant, Tan Xiu appeared in front of the black-robed bald man. The distance between the two was less than three meters.
"A wizard at the Spirit Formation Stage? Interesting. "
[Today is the last day. I'm begging for monthly votes. Also, the return from the Immortal World is about to end.]
