Xiao Chen stood shoulder-to-shoulder beside Yan Zhe. He had been paying attention to Yan Zhe’s expression out of the corner of his eye.

He found Yan Zhe’s involuntary lip twitch funny. It seemed that Yan Zhe had gotten more than what he bargained for.

However, Xiao Chen liked seeing such a scene.

He really wanted to see how Yan Zhe would react and how Yan Zhe would deal with this matter.

“Yan Zhe, the Iron Horn Pirate Group’s Yan Zhe!”

Wei Shaofeng purposely made his tone heavier when he repeated Yan Zhe’s name. He said coldly, “I was wondering who could be his big brother. It turned out that it is you. I will count to three. You better have scrammed by then!”

Xiao Chen could vaguely make out many people standing behind Wei Shaofeng in the darkness. Several of them had extremely strong auras, even stronger than Wei Shaofeng’s. However, in order not to suppress Wei Shaofeng’s sharpness, they purposely suppressed their auras.

“Yan Zhe, the Young Master told you to scram. Why are you not gone yet? Are you going to have a dispute with our Silver Fox Pirate Group? Do you still want to mingle in the Starlight Sea Region in the future?!”

A cold voice came from behind Wei Shaofeng. The tone was exceptionally unbearable.

At this moment, Yan Zhe cursed Xiao Chen in his heart. Of all the people for Xiao Chen to offend, it had to be this Wei Shaofeng.

However, Yan Zhe could not let his thoughts show on his face. The depression that he felt was easy to imagine.

Yan Zhe felt conflicted. Should he continue being this big brother?

After hesitating for a while, he arrived at an answer in his heart.

Between keeping the peace with the Silver Fox Pirate Group or obtaining the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s inheritance, he quickly made his choice: the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s inheritance.

With the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s inheritance, everything would be worth it.

“I’ll scram!”

Before the other party could count to three, Yan Zhe suddenly spoke and turned around.

Wei Shaofeng started laughing, “You are rather wise. Newcomer, did you see your big brother? I merely said a few words, and he scrammed like a dog.”

Surprise flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. Unexpectedly, Yan Zhe decided at the drop of a hat not to help.

“Pu ci!”

However, in the next moment, before Wei Shaofeng could stop laughing, his head fell off. Yan Zhe, who already disappeared, had appeared before him at some point and decapitated him.

This action was so fast that no one could react to it.

More importantly, everyone had thought that Yan Zhe really left, so they could not keep up with the sudden turn of events.

This included Xiao Chen. Even with his extraordinary mental state, he still could not hold back his shock and surprise.

A terrifying aura spread out from Yan Zhe’s body, and his will of soul encased the entire pirate ship.

Without bothering to say anything pointless, Yan Zhe used the opening from those people’s shock at Wei Shaofeng’s death to attack relentlessly.

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

An overwhelming killing intent burst out of Yan Zhe’s body. It was even more terrifying than the huge, surging waves of this Ash Gray Sea.

A scene of hell appeared on the other party’s pirate ship.

In a few blinks of an eye, more than ten people died. By the time the others reacted, the Silver Fox Pirate Group had already lost half their peak fighting force.

The other party was completely terrified as horror spread in their hearts. Without someone in command, their first reaction was to flee in all directions.

However, such actions created an even better opportunity for Yan Zhe.

If the other party worked together, they might be able to hold their own against Yan Zhe. Now that they scattered, they fought him one on one.

In such a situation, these people could not even last a single strike. All of them died miserable deaths, an unbearable sight.

Right now, Yan Zhe seemed like a completely different person.

He was like a murderous god that charged out of hell—cold and emotionless, decisive in killing. The elegant air that he originally had was nowhere in sight.

Once Yan Zhe attacked, it would be a critical move, killing within three moves.

No one on that pirate ship lasted more than three moves. Yan Zhe alone washed this 6-Star pirate ship in blood.

“You broke through…”

The final person gaped at Yan Zhe with horror in his eyes. Fear, as well as total shock at the unexpected, filled that person’s face. He could not even speak properly towards the end.

Yan Zhe smiled and said, “Do you know why I left you for last? I want you to taste the torture of horror!”

Right after Yan Zhe spoke, a sword light flashed. A head flew off, and blood spurted out.

That last person was the one who scolded Yan Zhe earlier.

Yan Zhe casually wiped the blood off the sword and arrived at the headless body of Wei Shaofeng.

Then, he gouged out a formation plate from Wei Shaofeng’s chest and crushed it.

The main formation of this peak 6-Star pirate ship immediately broke. Then, he sheathed his sword and turned around, leaped up, and gently landed back on the Black Cutlass. The people on the Black Cutlass had not recovered their wits yet.

“Rumble…!”

With a loud rumble, that enormous pirate ship broke apart and got corroded away by the Ash Gray Sea’s seawater.

The 6-Star pirate ship, which originally gave off an extremely strong pressure, disappeared before everyone without leaving a trace.

When the Iron Hand Yama and the others recovered their wits, they stared at Yan Zhe beside them.

There was no way to hide the horror in their eyes as they instinctively moved back, truly a spontaneous reaction.

This was the horror that the physical body felt after they witnessed that earlier scene.

A great demon!

Of all the words that Xiao Chen knew, these were the ones that came to mind to describe Yan Zhe. This Yan Zhe was a true demon.

All those Demonic Dao cultivators paled in comparison.

Yan Zhe was decisive in killing and flabbergasting. He changed his tune very quickly, catching people off guard.

What was more terrifying was that Yan Zhe was so strong.

However, Yan Zhe did not display any pride or arrogance. He was meticulous in his thoughts and vicious in his moves.

A pirate ship that looked formidable was dismantled so easily at Yan Zhe’s hands, with not even a single survivor.

He broke through to the Holy Light Stage. The Iron Hand Yama sent a voice projection to Xiao Chen, palpable horror and fear in his voice.

However, Yan Zhe’s expression appeared unsightly. He sighed softly and said, “Little Brother Xiao Chen, I have created a huge disaster for your sake.”

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly in his heart. I don’t see any pressure from going through a huge disaster on your face, though.

Nevertheless, Xiao Chen played along and asked, “What do you mean?”

“The Silver Fox Pirate Group is one of the three overlords of the Starlight Sea Region. Their captain advanced to the Holy Light Stage many years ago. Now, no one knows his true cultivation. There are the Six Giants under him, any one of which can rival my entire Iron Horn Pirate Group. There are also many other pirate groups that subordinated themselves to him.”

Yan Zhe muttered, “The one that I killed earlier was his son.”

The Iron Hand Yama forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and said, “Senior Yan, actually, you did not have to kill him. You just needed to show your Holy Light Stage cultivation to deter him from clashing head-on.”

Indeed, in the Starlight Sea Region, Holy Venerates were considered peak experts, able to sweep through wherever they went.

Holy Venerates were rare even in Rank 6 sects. Such people would be high-ranking inner sect Elders.

If Yan Zhe had shown his Holy Venerate strength, Wei Shaofeng would definitely have retreated, knowing the difficulty.

“You do not understand this Wei Shaofeng. He is a terrifying junior with astonishing talent. He would definitely have become a Holy Venerate within ten years and come to seek trouble for me sooner or later. If I had not killed him, I would have died in his hands ten years later, no doubt about it.”

After a pause, Yan Zhe muttered, “There is a saying, do not bully the youths for being poor. Hence, I did not bully him. Instead, I directly killed him and solved the problem once and for all.”

This saying was truly good.

The waves behind pushed the waves in front of them. Many seniors ended up dying in the hands of juniors, turning into their stepping stones.

If those seniors were as decisive as Yan Zhe and as vicious, such tragedies would not happen.

Xiao Chen felt a chill down his back. He was a junior like Wei Shaofeng, furthermore, one with even more potential.

It sounded like these words were aimed at Xiao Chen.

I do not bully others; I will only kill you.

These simple words sent a strange chill through everyone’s heart.

Xiao Chen calmed himself and consoled him, “Big Brother, you don’t have to worry. Your work was very clean; no one will know.”

Yan Zhe revealed a bitter smile and sighed softly, “There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Little Brother Xiao Chen, even though I don’t want to go to Myriad Star Mountain with you, I have to now. Without obtaining the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s inheritance, I will die in the Silver Fox’s hands eventually. You don’t want to see your big brother die, right?”

It’s coming…

After beating around the bush for a long time, Yan Zhe finally arrived at the main topic.

Furthermore, he made it sound very reasonable. There was no way to reject him at all.
