874 Sun (1/2)
Buzz!
A stream of burning light flashed in the air.
Blackbeard screamed and quickly backed off, but his hands were already burned into coke.
”Tsk tsk… Blackbeard, you were too hasty…” Fang Yuan slowly took out the treasure map. ”I knew that you would betray us a long time ago, so how could I still show you all the secrets?”
”Damn it!”
Blackbeard rapidly chanted a few spells.
Several red meatballs that seemed to contain human bodies inside suddenly appeared.
Splash!
All of a sudden, the membranes of those meatballs broke, and human-like monsters emerged.
”Ow! Ow!”
They roared. One of them ran toward the pillar of light to grab Sun's key, and the rest ran toward Fang Yuan from all directions.
Zap!
Light flashed in the air again, and the one that approached the pillar of light containing the key burned into coke.
Seeing this, Blackbeard was angrier. ”Roche, you asshole!”
”What? You're the one who cheated me!” Fang Yuan's eyes widened, looking flabbergasted.
At the same time, he waved his hands, and his pirate bodyguards fended off the incoming human-like monsters.
”I'm really curious about how powerful the notorious Blackbeard is.” He laughed loudly, drew his cutlass, and approached Blackbeard.
”Arcane Trickster!!”
Blackbeard roared. Cold streams of light flashed in his hands, moving at astonishing speeds.
Clang!
A rapier materialized in one hand while a shield protected Blackbeard's other side, both sputtering sparks.
Almost immediately, Fang Yuan's cutlass slashed at the rapier and cut off its tip.
”Blackbeard, you've revealed too many of your abilities along the way… But how much do you know about me? Do you know what other powers I have?”
Fang Yuan waved his cutlass as he leisurely walked forward.
Although Blackbeard was not as strong as the Demigod specters on Specter Ship, he was definitely one of the most powerful humans.
But under Fang Yuan's psychological manipulation, he seemed at a loss.
The power of this incarnation of Fang Yuan had not yet reached the Demigod level.
Even with Fang Yuan's main body sending power to it and Specter Ship's support to further weaken the seal, it was still no more powerful than Blackbeard. In fact, it might actually be a bit weaker than Blackbeard.
However, since Blackbeard had already used up a lot of his energy opening up the path earlier, and Fang Yuan was already clear about Blackbeard's abilities from the marks he left behind, it was currently fairly easy for Fang Yuan to fight against Blackbeard.
Once Fang Yuan attacked Blackbeard with all his might, Blackbeard immediately fell into a losing position.
”Impossible!”
Blackbeard looked in complete disbelief at the shield on Fang Yuan's wrist. Fang Yuan was freely waving it about to block his attacks effortlessly.
He roared, and his rapier looked like a hundred flowers blooming as it tried to strike Fang Yuan continuously.
Ding! Ding! Dang! Dang!
Sparks appeared on the shield again and again as Fang Yuan twirled his wrist, fending off those attacks easily.
”How can you recognize my attack patterns?” Blackbeard said in shock. He jumped back, breathing heavily.
”Because you taught me!” Fang Yuan laughed loudly and struck with his cutlass.
Poof! Poof!
After a few attempts to attack, Blackbeard gave up on defense and pointed his rapier at Fang Yuan's throat.
Fang Yuan did not evade, meeting the rapier thrust head-on.
Poof!
Blood spewed everywhere.
Blackbeard's eyes widened as a trail of blood flowed from his neck.
At this moment, his rapier was already touching Fang Yuan's throat, almost killing Fang Yuan if his rapier could have only moved a little bit further.
However, his hands had no energy left.
”I… am not resigned…”
Blackbeard moaned and fell gently to the ground.
He was indeed unresigned. He would not have died if he had obtained the treasure map and if the tip of his rapier had not been cut off…
Unfortunately, there were no 'ifs' in this world.
Therefore, he could only accept it as his body fell to the ground.
Chi chi!
After his death, those summoned monsters turned into a pool of blood on the floor.
”He was also rather pitiful… He did not even look at the map carefully…”
Fang Yuan took out the treasure map and walked toward the pillar of light.
”To the glory of Solomon and the sorrow of the ancient goblins… All glory will become ordinary, and only the invincible steel fortress will continue sailing the ocean…”
He threw the treasure map away after chanting the spell.
