Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation
chapter-1802

When the six bolts of tribulation lightning fell, the skinny old man, who was infusing his Soul Energy into the banner, revealed an expression of despair.

Demonic Dao cultivators’ strength was horrifying, and their cultivation speed was faster than that of Righteous Dao cultivators.

Hence, this created a weakness. Aside from their mental states failing to keep up and being prone to heart demons, their foundations were not firm.

They also had another rather significant weakness: lightning tribulations.

Righteous Dao cultivators called the lightning tribulations heavenly tribulations. Heaven would naturally deal with those that sinned.

The Heavenly Dao not permitting the existence of these Demonic Dao cultivators was the greatest reliance of Righteous Dao cultivators in disparaging them, easily gaining the moral high ground.

The lightning tribulations of Demonic Dao cultivators were terrifying, easily ten times—even one hundred times—stronger than those of Righteous Dao cultivators.

When there was sin, the very ordinary lightning tribulation could cause enormous injury.

Furthermore, this lightning tribulation was the Divine Lightning Eye that Xiao Chen executed after comprehending the Thunder Great Dao.

Its might was entirely different from before.

The skinny old man was already considerably weakened and also distracted. Hence, the lightning tribulation instantly blasted him to death without any suspense at all.

When the shock of the lightning tribulation spread out, all of the cultivators on the demonic ship who failed to flee in time were blasted half-dead.

A few beams of light shot off in different directions. Those were the injured Star Venerates frantically running away from the demonic ship.

Without the protection of the skinny old man, those people were no match for Xiao Chen.

“Kill them all. Show no mercy.”

Xiao Chen did not want to give the other party a chance to report back. Otherwise, Ou Zhenyun might personally bring experts over, which would truly be somewhat problematic.

“Yes!”

The Iron Hand Yama and Elder Tang went to fulfill this order, pursuing the fleeing Star Venerates.

On the crow’s-nest, Xiao Chen turned his head back to glance at the Demon Blood Vulture, which was lying on the Spirit Beast Platform.

“Stop pretending to be asleep. Get up and do some work.”

Just the Iron Hand Yama and Elder Tang alone would not be able to kill off the other party, especially the fleeing Star Venerates.

Watched by Xiao Chen, the Demon Blood Vulture spread its wings reluctantly and took flight. A terrifying aura immediately spread out.

Then, the Demon Blood Vulture quickly gave chase like a phantom.

The fleeing Star Venerates revealed expressions of despair. The Black Cutlass’s means were entirely beyond their expectations.

Even without Xiao Chen, with just this late-stage Star Venerate Demon Blood Vulture, they were helpless to do anything to the Black Cutlass.

One hour later, Xiao Suo returned from the demonic ship, bearing plenty of plunder. Then, he tossed the demonic ship’s banner to Xiao Chen.

“This is the war banner forged by the Fantasy Cloud Sect, it is much better than the one on our ship,” Xiao Suo said excitedly. Clearly, he had a great harvest when he swept the demonic ship clean.

After Xiao Chen received the war banner, he checked it and discovered that it was indeed extraordinary.

Back then, when the skinny old man infused his Soul Energy into the banner to boost the demonic ship’s speed, the sight had made Xiao Chen’s eyes light up and left a deep impression.

In regard to war banners, naturally, the Scarlet Blood War Banner was the best. However, they could not openly use the Scarlet Blood War Banner, reserving it for the most crucial moment.

After they altered this demonic ship’s Fantasy Cloud War Banner and rigged it on the Black Cutlass, the Black Cutlass’s performance would improve significantly.

Furthermore, the Black Cutlass was absorbing more and more of the blood mist, accelerating its demonification. Hence, it was rather compatible with this Demonic Dao sect’s war banner.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The Iron Hand Yama and Elder Tang returned one after another. Xiao Chen did not care about the loot from killing the Star Venerates. Such loot did not need to be handed over; they were personal war trophies.

When the Demon Blood Vulture returned, all the fleeing Star Venerates had been killed.

Not wasting any words, Xiao Chen ordered directly, “Immediately hoist the sails; do not remain here any longer.”

Earlier, the Black Cutlass kept fleeing because this place was not suitable for a battle.

The Black Cutlass only chose to fight with the Fantasy Cloud Sect’s people after getting cornered.

Now that the problem was dealt with, they naturally had to leave right away.

However, things did not go as they wanted.

In the end, a strong pirate ship blocked the Black Cutlass, the thing that Xiao Chen did not want to see happen the most.

The sky suddenly turned dark, and a strong, storm-like aura pressed over from the front.

A peak 6-Star pirate ship, which was even larger than the demonic ship, appeared before everyone’s eyes.

This was a genuine peak 6-Star pirate ship with all the usual trappings, much larger than the Black Cutlass.

The 6-Star pirate ship rode the winds and cut through waves, creating a terrifying sight amid the storm, pressing over amid lightning and thunder.

Slowly, the entire pirate ship appeared before everyone’s eyes. It was more than six hundred meters long and one hundred meters tall, looking very mighty.

Xiao Chen and the others felt an extremely strong pressure on the Black Cutlass.

“Interesting. Unexpectedly, it was actually the Fantasy Cloud Sect’s demonic ship that fell.”

A cold voice spread everywhere within the storm and waves, loud and clear in everyone’s ears.

That was a handsome, black-clad man standing upright on that 6-Star pirate ship with his hands clasped behind him and a sword slung on his back.

The black-clad man had a cold and stern air. His eyes were sharp, and he exuded a cold, bleak aura from his entire body.

A war banner embroidered with a silver fox flapped wildly in the strong wind right behind that black-clad man.

Late-stage Star Venerate!

Xiao Chen and the others clearly felt that this black-clad man, who did not look old, was actually a late-stage Star Venerate.

“This person’s cultivation is slightly weaker than Yan Zhe’s, but he is much younger. His talent is probably extremely horrifying.”

The Iron Hand Yama showed fear. Although he said that this person was slightly inferior to Yan Zhe, he did not dare to underestimate this person at all.

Based on the black-clad man’s tone, it seemed that he had been targeting the Fantasy Cloud Sect’s demonic ship and had not expected the Black Cutlass to eradicate the other party.

This ship was extraordinary.

This person definitely had an impressive origin with an incredible background.

The black-clad man’s gaze swept across and landed on Xiao Chen. Then, he said interestedly, “A newcomer? New pirates that are so dazzling rarely appear in the Starlight Sea Region now. Are you interested in joining me, Wei Shaofeng, as my subordinate?”

This youth was very arrogant and extremely bold. The moment he spoke, he wanted Xiao Chen to submit to him and serve him.

Young Master Xiao, what should we do? The Iron Hand Yama sent a voice projection, sensing that the situation was not good.

However, the Iron Hand Yama’s tone showed no intention of shrinking back.

Although the enemy was strong, the Black Cutlass might still be able to hold its own. Not to mention the Demon Blood Vulture, there was the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation, a powerful killing move.

With a faint smile, Xiao Chen replied, An evil person will naturally be dealt with by another evil person. There is no need to fear him.

Then, Xiao Chen took out the jade strip. That Yan Zhe said that if there was any trouble, I could seek him out, right?

Great! This is the time to use him.

Xiao Chen squeezed with his hand, directly crushing the jade strip.

The Iron Horn Pirate Group was tailing the Black Cutlass from a distance lest they startle their prey. However, such a distance would require only four or five days to close.

Yan Zhe, who was seated on a throne on the ship and chatting with his subordinates, suddenly started laughing.

Then, a glowing jade strip appeared in Yan Zhe’s hand.

“Captain, why are you laughing?”

Yan Zhe replied indifferently, “It is as I expected. After two months, that group of people of the Black Cutlass finally ran into trouble and came to ask me for help.”

“Hahaha! Captain is truly wise and great at scheming. You managed to pin down that Black Cutlass.”

“Captain is wise.”

Yan Zhe waved his hand and said, “I’ll use the jade strip to go over first. There is no need to hold back anymore; full speed ahead. Rush over there within a day. By that time, the Black Cutlass will be completely in my control, unable to escape me.”

“Yes!” Thinking of the treasure that the Scarlet Blood Pirate King left behind, the crew of the Iron Horn Pirate Group became excited.

Yan Zhe quickly crushed the jade strip in his hand, and a scarlet light encased him. This light seemed similar to that from the Iron Blood Token.

In the next moment, Yan Zhe’s figure disappeared.

---

At the same time as Xiao Chen crushed the jade strip on the Black Cutlass, the black-clad man was saying, “You have ten seconds to consider. I have always been a patient person, but I have a bad temper. Either you submit to me, Wei Shaofeng, or you die!”

When ten seconds passed, Xiao Chen suddenly said with a serious expression, “It is possible for me to submit to you. However, you will have to seek the permission of my big brother first.”

When Wei Shaofeng heard that Xiao Chen still had a big brother, he smirked as if he had heard something very funny. “Alright, do tell me, who is your big brother?”

“I am his big brother!”

A cold snort resounded, and a red light flashed above the Black Cutlass. Yan Zhe appeared by Xiao Chen’s side from out of nowhere, looking extraordinary and imposing.

“Big Brother Yan, you finally arrived!”

Xiao Chen showed an excited expression and addressed Yan Zhe excitedly.

The people of the Black Cutlass saw how quickly Xiao Chen changed. His expression seemed so natural that they all felt ashamed of their inferiority.

They held in their laughter and lowered their heads, staring at their feet so as not to expose themselves.

It was time to put on a perfect act.

When Yan Zhe saw Xiao Chen’s expression, he was very satisfied. He said calmly, “Little Brother Xiao Chen, rest assured. We had an agreement in the Grave Sea. Now that you are in the Ash Gray Sea, I, Yan Zhe, will protect you.

“Who is the one who wants to make a move on my Little Brother Xiao Chen?”

Yan Zhe turned around. The moment he finished speaking and saw that war banner with the silver fox embroidered on it, his expression wavered.

A corner of Yan Zhe’s lips twitched once involuntarily, nearly ruining his perfect act.

“It is me, Wei Shaofeng!”

When Wei Shaofeng saw Yan Zhe, he smiled coldly, disdain on his lips, simply showing no fear.

It was clear that Wei Shaofeng recognized Yan Zhe, and Yan Zhe already guessed his origins.
