Chapter 1140: Never-Changing Character (1/2)

Seven days later, the clouds below the flood dragon war chariot slowly darkened until they eventually were black.

Xiao Chen knew that this meant he had reached the border of the Black Sea. The Black Water Sea should not be far off.

With that thought, he put away the flood dragon war chariot. He planned to travel alone from here on.

After all, there were many experts in the Black Sea. This sea region, which was chaotic and rich in resources, held a great attraction to experts. Xiao Chen’s strength was far from sufficient for moving around unhindered in a tyrannical manner. It was best for him to be more low-profile.

According to Jin Dabao, Ba Tu was not in the Black Water Sea but the Dark Sea, the core of the entire Black Sea.

Hence, Xiao Chen did not intend to stay in this Black Water Sea for long. If nothing unexpected happened, this would just be a transit point for him to familiarize himself with the Black Sea’s environment.

After breaking through the clouds, Xiao Chen immediately came under the a.s.sault of all sorts of negative emotions as he breathed: irritation, fury, bloodl.u.s.t, and many others.

Xiao Chen kept his mind clear. His saber soul flashed as he used his strong will to eliminate all these negative emotions, leaving none in his body.

“Dang! Dang!”

As Xiao Chen headed for the surface of the sea, the sounds of fighting reached his ears. He looked over and discovered a merchant fleet surrounded and under attack.

This fleet was rather large. The merchant s.h.i.+ps were all Sage Grade, and there were ten of them. The flags.h.i.+p was a King Grade wars.h.i.+p. However, the situation did not seem favorable to them.

A dense cl.u.s.ter of small pirate s.h.i.+ps surrounded the entire merchant group. Figures projecting baleful auras leaped out and charged towards the merchant s.h.i.+ps.

A ferocious pirate on the merchant group’s flags.h.i.+p led some others in surrounding a middle-aged man, clearly holding the upper hand.

Xiao Chen had long heard of the chaos in the Black Sea. However, he had not expected to run into a group of merchants being robbed shortly after his arrival at the border.

After observing for a while, Xiao Chen saw that this group of pirates was not very strong. The ferocious pirate fighting on the flags.h.i.+p appeared to be the pirate leader, but he was only a Great Perfection quasi-Emperor.

After a while, Xiao Chen made a decision. Although Xiao Chen was not a fool that let his emotions lead him around, charging in to save a stranger without a care for the situation when seeing something like this, if there was anything he could do to help, he would. After all, this group of pirates was clearly not good people.

Xiao Chen’s figure vanished from his original position. Then, he appeared above the flags.h.i.+p. Now, he was dressed in clean white robes, holding his Lunar Shadow Saber.

When the two sides saw this person that suddenly appeared, their expressions changed at the same time. They both stopped and moved back.

The difference was that the middle-aged man showed an expression of surprise while the pirate leader showed murderous intent and rage.

The pirate leader held a heavy, scarlet, serrated saber as he looked at Xiao Chen and said, “Where did this brat come from? Don’t you know the rules of the Black Sea? Anyone who sees that pirates attacked yet dares to help will become wanted by all the pirates in the entire Black Sea.”

This statement stunned Xiao Chen somewhat. Then, he laughed in his heart. This is interesting!

In other places, it is the pirates who are wanted. However, the rules of this place are reversed. The pirates have the upper hand and can actually list others as wanted.

“Little Brother, the Black Sea does indeed have such a rule. The pirate faction is powerful. Once wanted, you will find it very difficult to travel around the five sea domains of the Black Sea. I appreciate your kindness, but there is no need for you to get in trouble.”

The middle-aged man could tell that Xiao Chen’s cultivation was pretty high, and Xiao Chen was still quite young. He should be an outstanding talent of a Holy Land or n.o.ble Clan that did not know the rules of the Black Sea. Hence, the middle-aged man sighed and advised Xiao Chen to leave.

The pirate leader laughed coldly and said rudely. “Now that you know the rule, quickly scram!”

Xiao Chen said indifferently, “This is the first I’ve heard of this rule. However, if you die, then you can’t list me as wanted, right?”

The pirate leader guffawed and said, “You are already a Great Perfection quasi-Emperor at such a young age. You must be from some big faction or the successor of a Holy Land. Given that it was hard for you to cultivate to this extent, I was a little more polite to you. To think you would actually throw your weight around instead!

“The Black Sea is different from the other places. I will only give you this advice: all the quasi-Emperors should not be offended!”

The pirate leader shouted a war cry and charged at Xiao Chen.

The pirate leader’s eyes turned scarlet. Everywhere he pa.s.sed, wolf howls resounded, and a huge scarlet wolf image appeared behind him.

Unexpectedly, this pirate leader was from the Fiend Race. Furthermore, it seemed like his bloodline mutated and was not of a pure Heavenly Wolf Race pedigree. Otherwise, he would be even more powerful.

This saber strike gave off an overwhelming aura. The wolf howls were even more horrifying. The attack was extremely ferocious; just the baleful aura that flowed out made people tremble in fear.

“Dang!”

n.o.body saw how Xiao Chen moved. However, a clear dragon roar resounded, and he instantly drew the Lunar Shadow Saber, blocking the approaching serrated saber.

The dragon roar clashed with the wolf howl. However, the two were about equal. Xiao Chen’s Dragon Might did not manage to intimidate the scarlet wolf.

Xiao Chen’s eyes lit up. It was said that in the oceanic world, the Black Sea was the best place for quasi-Emperors to train. For the sake of raising their strength, quasi-Emperors from various places would come here for experiential training.

There were also many desperate criminals staying in the region. Their presence made the situation in the Black Sea even more horrifying.
