Chapter 1644 (Raw 1626): The Last Laugh
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 Cutlass, a powerful weapon almost equal to a 5-Star pirate ship . 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 .
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
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 ship . ”
Xiao Chen smiled indifferently; no one could figure out what he was thinking .
The gray-clad old man said sullenly, “Cut the crap . 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 ship . 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 ship’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 ship 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 . What does this fellow intend?
To think that he dares to keep me on his ship! He is not a fool, right?
As long as I recover from my injuries, it will be easy for me to take over the ship . Is he not worried about me plotting in secret, pretending to cooperate while causing him trouble?
“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 Cutlass, 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 Cutlass quickly set off, leaving this area .
The earlier battle caused a tremendous commotion . Due to the Neptune’s Rages firing several rounds, this sea region looked like a huge storm just passed through it .
It would be hard to avoid the attention of other cultivators .
“What horrifying Demonic Energy Cannons! They should be Neptune’s Rages . ”
“Based on the lingering aura, two Major Primal Core Venerates died . ”
“They were really seeking death . I wonder which reckless Venerates they were? They actually dared to offend a pirate ship with Neptune’s Rages equipped . ”
“Who knows? These days, there has been no lack of reckless people . ”
Many of the experienced Grave Sea cultivators figured out the general situation and did not dare to linger here .
Not every 4-Star pirate ship in the Grave Sea could equip Neptune’s Rages .
One needed extremely high authority and sufficient contributions to the Pirate Alliance’s inner circle . Furthermore, they were very expensive; just one fetched a high price .
No one would dare to offend a pirate ship equipped with Neptune’s Rages . This was common knowledge .
At this moment, the root of this incident recovered its ordinary appearance, sailing freely in the starry sea .
Everyone on the ship was in a good mood . This was the Black Cutlass’s first big battle since coming to the Grave Sea .
The victory seemed simpler than expected . Now, all the crewmembers felt a strong sense of belonging to the Black Cutlass .
Inside the captain’s quarters, the Beast Governing Sect’s Elder Tang, who already changed his clothes and appeared to be in much better spirits, faced Xiao Chen . There was a silver jade bottle on the table between them .
The jade bottle contained the highest-quality Life Juice Source .
Greed flashed in Elder Tang’s eyes as he occasionally shifted his gaze to Xiao Chen, waiting for Xiao Chen to say something .
“I keep my word . Since Elder Tang is willing to humble yourself and stay on the Black Cutlass, I naturally cannot be stingy . Take it, then . ”
Xiao Chen waved his hand in invitation .
Elder Tang’s face lit up with joy . Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen really was so straightforward . Elder Tang had been stuck at late-stage Major Primal Core Realm for many years already and could not break through to the peak . This golden Life Juice Source held a fatal attraction for him .
“Many thanks . ”
Elder Tang reached out to take the jade bottle, feeling somewhat excited .
“That’s nothing much . I’ll go and rest first . After I recover, this old man will definitely do his best to serve Young Master Xiao . ”
Elder Tang showed a smile as he stood up, preparing to go .
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes as he smiled . “You will serve me with all your strength after you recover? Elder Tang, do you really take me for a fool?”
“Huh?!”
Elder Tang pretended to be stupid, looking like he did not understand Xiao Chen .
“I want to leave a restriction in your body . Elder Tang, what do you think?” Xiao Chen asked probingly .
The smile of the Beast Governing Sect’s Elder Tang froze . However, he immediately replied, “Yes, that is necessary . ”
Elder Tang had answered delightedly, but he was smiling coldly to himself . I just knew that you would do this .
However, you are still too inexperienced to be playing with me .
A Rank 3 sect has accumulations from long ago . You are just a half-step Primal Core cultivator . What restrictions can you leave in me to restrain me?
Xiao Chen shot a sharp gaze at Elder Tang, indicating for him to let down all of his defenses .
Feeling very confident, Elder Tang did not give it much thought but just let down all his mental guard .
“Dragon Blood Soul Breaking Finger!”
Xiao Chen extended his finger at lightning speed to press it against Elder Tang’s forehead .
Before Elder Tang, who let down his mental guard, could react, extremely destructive Soul Energy entered the depths of his soul like a flash of lightning .
Elder Tang’s heart sank; he felt like his soul was about to leave his body, torn apart by this external force .
He was frightened into going pale and immediately tried to put up some resistance .
“Whoosh!”
Just as the energy from the Soul Breaking Finger in the depths of his soul was about to erupt, Xiao Chen quickly stopped it and withdrew his hand .
Elder Tang fell to the floor, holding his forehead . As he looked at Xiao Chen, he showed a horrified expression .
He could feel a vague scarlet light in the depths of his soul . It was like a time bomb planted there .
Xiao Chen smiled and said, “That was dangerous . This is the first time I used the Soul Breaking Finger to set a restriction . Fortunately, my bloodline has been improved; I actually did not fail .
“Rest properly, then . Elder Tang, don’t overthink . ”
It’s over . It’s over . It’s all over . This is a Soul Dao restriction . I will only have a small chance of escaping Xiao Chen’s control when I advance to the Cloud Sea Realm .
Elder Tang showed a sorrowful expression as he pointed at Xiao Chen and exclaimed angrily, “Junior, you tricked me!”
Xiao Chen smiled calmly . “Let it go . We were trying to outwit each other in the first place . It is just a matter of whose means are better . In the future, the Black Cutlass will be in your care . ”
That was right . No one was stupid . However, no matter what, in the end, Xiao Chen was the one with the last laugh .
