Chapter 305: Respecting your Enemy (1/2)

Xue Wei felt the blood rush to his head, and threaten to take over, turning him into a bloodthirsty monster, but he regained his consciousness and shook his head slightly.

In the short moment, he had been almost drowned by his own bloodthirst, the pirate had moved towards him, his weapon came crashing down upon Xue Wei, and the momentum was so heavy that there was no way of escaping.

Lifting his scaled hand, Xue Wei tried to block the weapon with the hands instead, and a cracking sound resounded as the weapon pierced his scales and dug deep into his hand.

The pirate felt a shiver run down his spine as he looked at Xue Wei. The dragonoid shape was already frightening to a certain degree, but seeing the face twisted in a sinister smile, even as the hand was so deeply wounded, the pirate had a terrible feeling.

And rightfully so. Moments after the sword embedded itself within Xue Wei's hand, he held onto it so tightly that the pirate could not withdraw it, and suddenly an attack came crashing down upon him.

Kick of the Forgotten Kings!

The kick that was filled with the strength of the forgotten kings landed squarely on the pirate's chest, sending him reeling backward, his sword ended up staying within the hands of Xue Wei, and he cursed out loud as he felt his chest ache from the kick.

Xue Wei snickered slightly when he saw that the pirate was swearing. He quickly removed the sword from his hand and threw it within his storage artifact, keeping it for himself.

Weapons were always risky to use as if one could not keep a hold of them, then the enemy could take them, rendering one even more helpless against them.

This was precisely the situation that the pirate and Xue Wei were in right now. A few weapons were capable of being bound by blood, however, they were so few in numbers that they were practically impossible to see, especially amongst a pirate in the middle of the Sea of the Enchanted.

Xue Wei was bleeding. His hand and arm was seriously harmed from the previous collision with the sword, and he had the wound from the earlier collision with the Hellfire Seal as well.

Blood was leaking from the corner of his mouth and down his arm, dripping on the deck of the ship, but Xue Wei had not felt this alive for a long time, and his eyes were glistening with a fervor that could not be explained.

Bai Tianyi, who was fighting against another pirate a bit away felt a shiver run through his body. He was a sword spirit, and he was connected to Xue Wei, so it was impossible for him not to feel the sudden change in his mental state.

Sensing that Xue Wei was ecstatic, he said nothing but a slight smile appeared on his lips. He remembered the young man he had met back in the small village when he was still just a sword, and how that young boy had matured into a fine young man.

A young man with a slight tendency for murder.

Hei Gou was also able to sense the bloodlust from smelling the blood of a Sovereign Beast being shed on the ship, and all the other Primordial Beasts were the same.

The scent of the blood was intoxicating, and their eyes started to turn slightly red and filled with bloodlust.

The pirates they fought were mainly humans and Primordial Beasts from the deep sea, and while the humans felt nothing, the Primordial Beasts felt their own bodies suddenly start to become restless, their blood was bursting with energy and they suddenly felt much stronger than before, as if they were undergoing a mutation from the scent of his blood alone.

Xue Wei seemed to notice that his blood had caused a massive effect on everyone present. Not only had the ones on his side gained better fighting abilities, the opponents had too, and he could not help but shake his head and laugh wryly.

Still, he was excited as he looked at the pirate in front of him. The pirate was more apprehensive now than he had been before. He was a human through and through, and the blood had done nothing to assist him in increasing his fighting abilities.

Not only this, but he had also lost his sword, and he knew that if he were to face Xue Wei right now, he would die.

However, he did not feel that he had much of an option. If he was not fighting Xue Wei, then this dragonoid creature would run amok on the deck, killing the other pirates as he pleased.

Although he was a pirate and someone who was very casual about life and death, he still cared for his comrades. They had lived together for many many years, fought by each other's sides, and become what they were today by relying on one another. Seeing them being killed was hurting his heart, and his eyes turned solemn as he realized that he was willing to die for them.

Thinking like this, he went further forward, his eyes glistening with an urge to do battle and keep Xue Wei occupied, and his sudden behavior caused the excitement within Xue Wei to erupt. Someone who was willing to disregard their own safety for the sake of their comrades was a real man!

Inner Might: Qi Sword!

Xue Wei waved his hand, and the azure Qi within his body erupted out from within, making a sword in his hand.

Although he was injured, he was still capable of holding onto the sword, and thus he continued forward with a smile on his face and a Qi sword in his hand.

The pirate's eyes were filled with determination, his hands making another group of seals, and suddenly Qi started erupting from his body like lava from a volcano.
