Chapter 632: Chapter 337: One Man Robbing a Group of People_2

Behind the sea monster, there seemed to be a strange, faint blue boat in tow.

“Quick, slay the sea monster!”

The leader of the Blood Blade pirates barked furiously.

The monster appeared to be charging towards the large ship.

The sudden turn of events filled the Divine Refinement Martial Artists on the large ship, who were prepared to be captured, with joy. After quickly communicating with each other through transmitting messages, they suddenly rose into the air and fled together in a particular direction.

Rather than entrust their lives to the judgment of the Blood Blade pirates, they opted to take the chance to escape!

More than twenty Divine Refinement Martial Artists charged out together, and the Blood Blade pirates in that direction were instantly alarmed, hastily sidestepping the assault.

“Seeking death!”

The Blood Blade pirate leader roared in anger and waved his hand, “Kill them!”

There was a loud swish!

A group of Blood Blade pirates surged forward with their blades, chasing after the escaping Divine Refinement Martial Artists. Meanwhile, two of the pirates swung their blades at the massive sea monster in mid-air.

This sea monster was strong, with rough skin and thick flesh—shockingly resilient. One strike might not be enough to kill it.

Xu Yan, who was in the midst of cultivation, opened his eyes, surprised at the monster’s attempt to ram the ship as a chance to escape.

“Quite savvy at using the environment to avoid danger.”

Xu Yan muttered to himself.

As the two trails of bloody light bore down on the monster, Xu Yan flicked his fishing rod. The monster that was soaring into the sky, ready to crash onto the large ship, was suddenly pulled back by him.

And the two strikes of blade light missed their mark.

“Sorry, the sea monster I was fishing for has disturbed everyone!” Xu Yan apologized.

The runaway boat sped upward, and with a sweep of his hand, a surge of Divine Origin energy flowed out, lifting the sea monster into the air as the boat flew over the large ship.

“Hand it over—the sea monster and that little boat!”

Suddenly, a figure stood in his way, wielding a blood-red long blade.

With that furious shout, the Blood Blade pirates, including those who were intent on killing the Divine Refinement Martial Artists, all returned, surrounding Xu Yan.

The pirate leader’s eyes shone as he stared intently at the runaway boat—an obvious treasure!

With its speed and ability to fly, having this treasure would make the Blood Blade pirates even more elusive.

Xu Yan was stunned, a heist?

“Are you sure you want to rob me?”

He looked at the group of Blood Blade pirates that had surrounded him and asked.

“Young man, the Blood Blade pirates always have principles. Leave the sea monster, leave the boat, and you can go without us harming a hair on your head. Otherwise, there will be one more corpse in the Azure Sea!” The leader of the Blood Blade pirates declared solemnly.

Xu Yan laughed. Pirates talking about principles?

Cai Ling’er had mentioned that there were some pirates in the Azure Sea, but the chances of encountering them were not high; cases of pirates committing murder were few and far between in a year.

Of course, for Xu Yan, pirates naturally couldn’t threaten him. Cai Ling’er only mentioned them in passing when introducing the Azure Sea.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yan encountered a pirate heist not long after entering the Azure Sea.

“I also am a man of principle.”

Xu Yan looked at the Blood Blade pirates with a smile, “Hand over your storage bags, do that, and you may spare your own lives. Otherwise, your bones will be crushed, your ashes scattered, and your souls extinguished!”

The Blood Blade pirates were stunned, their faces a picture of disbelief.

What did this kid mean?

Was he robbing them in return?

One person robbing a group of people?

Who gave him such courage?

“Good, good, good. In my life, Blood Blade, I’ve never encountered someone as arrogant as you. Alone, and yet you dare to rob a whole group of us?

“You’ve got guts, you’re outrageously audacious. I, Blood Blade, quite admire young people like you, but…”

Snap!

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly he felt a slap on his cheek and his whole body was sent flying backward, his head swimming and stars bursting before his eyes.

“Enough talk, hand over the storage bags!” Xu Yan said with a cold laugh.

Gulp!

The faces of the Blood Blade pirates turned to horror.

“Did you see him make a move just now?”

“No, I only saw the boss flying away.”

“Me neither.”

The Blood Blade pirates secretly communicated among themselves, their hearts sinking.

“Kid, I’m going to kill you!”

The leader of the Blood Blade pirates shook his head to clear it and roared with an explosive aura. Blood-colored blade light shone radiantly, filled with a chilling intent to kill.

“Let’s take him down together!”

Although he was surprised, he remained calm. With numbers on their side, and despite the opponent’s strength, how could they be a match for their combined force?

Thud!

His words had just fallen when a sword light descended before them, snuffing out his life in an instant.

The rest of the Blood Blade bandits, about to strike, suddenly felt a chill run through their bodies. Their boss had been killed by a single sword strike?

Even if they had all attacked together, they would have inevitably suffered heavy casualties.

They were sea pirates indeed, but not desperados. Even if they ultimately defeated their opponent, who could ensure they wouldn’t be the ones to die in combat?

Moreover, with their boss dead, they were now like dragons without a leader.

“Don’t attack, young hero, don’t attack! We’ll give you the storage bags, the storage bags!”

The band of Blood Blade bandits was sweating profusely.

“That’s more like it. I’m not a bloodthirsty person; hand over your ransom money.”

Xu Yan said with a smile on his face.

“Yes, yes!”

The Blood Blade bandits hastily handed over their storage bags, their faces twisted in pain.

As sea pirates, they carried all their possessions with them. Everything in the storage bags was their total accumulation.

Handing them over, they would become penniless in no time.

Xu Yan waved his hand and collected all the storage bags. He pointed at a few of the Blood Blade bandits and said, “Hand over the storage bags you’ve hidden, or die!”

Those bandits, faces ugly with reluctance, could only obediently hand over their second storage bags.

“Alright, you can all scram now!”

Xu Yan waved his hand and said.

“Yes, yes!”

The Blood Blade bandits nodded frantically, turning to leave.

As Xu Yan waved his hand, the sea creature he controlled plunged back into the sea, ready to continue pulling the escape boat; spirit crystals should be conserved when possible.

“Be careful of the Blood Blade bandits!”

A woman’s voice came from the large ship.

“Die!”

The Blood Blade bandits, who were prepared to flee, saw an opportunity in his moment of relaxation and suddenly slashed with their knives.

They had already agreed in secret to strike together. The bloody knife light lit up the sky; a powerful attack looked set to engulf Xu Yan.

The faces of the Blood Blade bandits revealed a ferocious look. They were used to robbing others; how could they be robbed themselves?

That little wench on the ship dared to give a warning? After they killed this lad, they would show her the fierce cruelty of the Blood Blade bandits.

“Rushing to seek death, why bother?”

Xu Yan sighed, raised his two fingers to his forehead, and slashed backward. A sword light suddenly appeared, cutting across the sky and breaking through all attacks.

The light of the knives dispersed, and the sword light slashed directly, turning into more than twenty streaks in an instant—one sword light for each Blood Blade bandit.

Thud!

As the Blood Blade bandits watched in horror, the sword light fell, and they turned to ash and dispersed.

On the large ship, all the Martial Artists were stunned.

Especially the woman who had just shouted the warning, she regretted speaking out the moment she did. Afraid that she would be violated to death by the Blood Blade bandits, she had prepared herself for demise.

However, that man not only robbed a group of people single-handedly, but he also annihilated the Blood Blade bandits with a single sword!

These Blood Blade bandits all had strength at the peak of Divine Refinement.

With a wave of his hand, the bandits were exterminated. What immense strength was this?

Looking across the Azure Sea, there couldn’t be too many with such power, right?

The woman suddenly thought of someone, that legendary figure in the rumors, whose Sword Dao was hailed as legendary, known as the number one in the world.

After Xu Yan had slain the Blood Blade bandits with a wave of his hand, he prepared to have the sea creature continue to race, pulling the escape boat towards the Yuntian maritime domain.

The strength of the Blood Blade bandits was indeed not weak, but to Martial Artists at the peak of Divine Refinement like them, Xu Yan no longer paid any mind; he could annihilate them with a flick of his wrist.

Even if it was a Martial Artist who had condensed the Domain Spirit Spark, Xu Yan didn’t take them seriously. Only those on the level of the Sword King elders from the Thousand Martial Hall were worth fighting against.

The only ones who could truly excite him for a battle were Martial Artists with the prowess of Xin Mengrou.

He was not far from reaching Perfection in the Divine Origin Realm; his strength was far beyond what it was when he first entered the Divine Origin Realm.

As he shivered the fishing rod, ready to make the sea creature pull the boat away, suddenly a woman’s voice came.

“Benefactor, please wait!”

Xu Yan looked back; it was the woman who had warned him.

“What is it?”

The woman was stunningly beautiful, with a proud figure exuding a charm.

Her strength was at the early stage of the Divine Refinement Celestial.

The woman’s expression was somewhat excited, never having imagined that the legendary number one master of Sword Dao would be so young and handsome, even causing her heart to flutter.

“Benefactor, might you be the Sword King?”

The woman asked excitedly.
