Chapter 1644 (1/2)
The Last Laugh</spoiler>
The gray-clad old man would never have imagined, even in his dreams, that he would end up in Xiao Chen's hands one day.
The other party was only a hairless brat in the half-step Primal Core Realm.
If it were a proper fight, the gray-clad old man would not even care about such a minor character. He could easily kill such a person. His upper hand in cultivation made him fearless.
This thought was not wrong. The current Xiao Chen was indeed not a match for him.
If Xiao Chen fought head-on, he would fall within a hundred moves. He would have no other option than to flee.
However, Xiao Chen had the Black Cutla.s.s, a powerful weapon almost equal to a 5-Star pirate s.h.i.+p. The moment it bared its sinister side, not to mention the gray-clad old man, even a peak Major Primal Core opponent would die.
Furthermore, Xiao Chen still had the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation and the two Cold Steel Eagles.
”I have been careful all my life. Unexpectedly, I fell in your hands, a junior,” the gray-clad old man, who was held up by the two Cold Steel Eagles, said, showing a bitter smile.
With a thought from Xiao Chen, the two Cold Steel Eagles could tear the gray-clad old man apart.
”Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+”
As the two Cold Steel Eagles hovered in the air, their knifelike wings flapped continuously, kicking up a strong wind.
Xiao Chen's white clothes and long hair fluttered noisily in the strong wind.
”There is no need for self-reproach. No one would imagine that I would have a peak 4-Star pirate s.h.i.+p.”
Xiao Chen smiled indifferently; no one could figure out what he was thinking.
The gray-clad old man said sullenly, ”Cut the c.r.a.p. Kill me if you want to. Don't humiliate me.”
This gray-clad old man was an Outer Sect Elder of the Beast Governing Sect. He was still quite stubborn and proud, not begging for mercy.
Xiao Chen said softly, ”If I wanted to kill you, why would I keep you alive until now?”
”You…”
The gray-clad old man's eyes gleamed with hope. No one wanted to die for no reason. If there was hope to live, naturally, one would be tempted.
”What do you want?”
Xiao Chen showed a serious expression as he looked at the other party. ”It's very simple. I just want you to focus on working on the pirate s.h.i.+p. Not only will I not kill you, but I will even give you the Life Juice Source that you want.”
That was right. Xiao Chen was interested in the other party and wanted to continue improving the pirate s.h.i.+p's combat strength.
This person was not weak and was from a Rank 3 sect. He was also old and experienced, having seen many things. He was not someone Xiao Suo and Xiao Chen could compare to.
Having a person who was experienced and strong and also knowledgeable about beast taming on the pirate s.h.i.+p would undoubtedly be a good thing.
The gray-clad old man's eyes flickered; he was clearly tempted. However, he felt suspicious in his heart.
”My patience is limited. I do not have much time to waste here. You have one second to consider!”
Xiao Chen caused such a tremendous commotion earlier and had long startled the surrounding cultivators. He needed to leave quickly.
Since he said one second, there would be only one second.
One second later, Xiao Chen did not wait for the other party to answer, directly turning and coldly saying, ”Kill him.”
As two enormous forces pulled on the gray-clad old man's body, the fear of death immediately spread through him.
Given the urgency, the gray-clad old man quickly roared out his reply: ”I'm willing!”
”Bang!”
The two Cold Steel Eagles flung the gray-clad old man onto the deck.
A satisfied smile appeared on Xiao Chen's face as he walked down step by step. Clapping, he said, ”Welcome our new crewmember of the Black Cutla.s.s, the Beast Governing Sect's Elder Tang.”
”Welcome! Welcome!”
Many crewmembers walked out and chimed in happily. Being able to have a Rank 3 sect Elder as their captive clearly gave them a strong sense of accomplishment.
”Get your tortoise beast to follow us. After we leave this area, I'll send someone to treat it,” Xiao Chen instructed calmly.
Now that the gray-clad old man was living due to Xiao Chen's mercy, he had to bow down. He endured this and formed hand seals while muttering something, which produced some special musical notes.
Below, in the starry sea, the severely injured tortoise beast, which had suffered from several rounds of the Neptune's Rages, slowly swam over.
”Captain, we found the storage rings of those two Venerates. That should make up for some of our losses.”
Xiao Suo leaped out from the sea and landed on the deck, speaking excitedly.
Bandits never walked away empty-handed. This nature was hard to change.
Anyway, the storage rings of two Major Primal Core Venerates were definitely of extraordinary value.
”Let's go!”
Now that everything was ready, the Black Cutla.s.s quickly set off, leaving this area.
