Chapter 243: Chapter 240: Kill 3 People with One Sword

"Sigh..."

Lady Xuan heaved a soft sigh. If only Ye Xuan had emerged earlier, he could have joined forces with Elder Tao to confront these three pirate leaders. But now, the situation was already sealed. What use was there for Ye Xuan to appear at this moment and speak such arrogant words? Would the enemies run away just because of a sentence?

At that moment, the other two pirate leaders also looked at Ye Xuan with a mocking expression. A fellow who hadn’t even grown a full set of hairs dared to make wild statements before them—it was truly laughable.

"If you won’t heed the warnings, then I have no choice."

Ye Xuan’s expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were incredibly cold. He slowly stepped forward, and simultaneously, his right hand slowly grasped the Spiritual Edge Sword behind his back.

"Idiots."

The three men looked at Ye Xuan as if they were looking at a fool, just waiting for him to foolishly come closer so they could immediately slaughter him.

Hiss Hiss...

The sound of Ye Xuan drawing his sword rang out. However, as the Spiritual Edge Sword was unsheathed, a dazzling light burst forth from the blade. In that instant, it caused the pairs of eyes fixated on Ye Xuan to involuntarily sting.

It was only a blink of an eye, but when Lady Xuan’s vision cleared, Ye Xuan’s figure had already disappeared from the spot.

"Not good!"

The three pirate leaders’ expressions changed, sensing something ominous. They saw a blurry figure already appearing before them, moving among them like a whirlwind, bizarrely fast.

The three began to make their moves, but their techniques ultimately failed to be executed. At the very last moment, they were aborted, leaving them frozen in place.

The blurred shadow stopped behind the three men, his Spiritual Edge Sword now stained with fresh blood. He then sheathed the sword back.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Three soft sounds suddenly erupted as the throats of the three pirate leaders burst open almost simultaneously, each displaying a fatal sword mark. A shocking spray of blood burst forth.

The smiles on their faces suddenly stiffened, as if their necks were stuck, unable to utter a word. The life in their eyes rapidly faded, and they fell to the ground, twitching twice before lying still.

The deck was now entirely engulfed in a deadly silence.

Everyone stared at Ye Xuan incredulously, as if they had seen a ghost, unable to believe the scene they had just witnessed was real.

One sword, three kills.

Ye Xuan had used just one sword move. No one saw clearly what happened. The three pirate leaders were killed by a single slice to the throat, dying a violent death.

These were three Martial Sect Masters, including two from the Second Grade, and yet they couldn’t last a single move against Ye Xuan, being annihilated in the blink of an eye. It was truly shocking.

Such swordsmanship could only be described as unpredictably mystical.

"Elder Tao, I... I’m not dreaming, am I?" Lady Xuan looked at the scene that seemed like a fantasy in front of her, took a deep breath, and then turned to Elder Tao, who was seriously injured, and asked.

"It should not be a dream..."

Elder Tao also widened his eyes. Initially, he and everyone else thought Ye Xuan was courting death, but the outcome was completely unexpected. Ye Xuan’s move had taken everyone off guard, defeating the three major pirate leaders instantly and cleanly.

"This young man, his strength is terrifying..."

Elder Tao looked solemnly at Ye Xuan. Young but possessing such astounding strength, feared that even in the Chaotic Sea Domain, he would not be an ordinary figure.

Lady Xuan nodded, feeling a strange sensation in her heart. She had just said that Ye Xuan had escaped in the chaos, not expecting that he had been here all along...

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a figure also swept over from a distance and landed on the deck, then looked at the three pirate leaders who had been killed, his expression extremely ugly.

"Second, Third Brother! Damn it! You little beast, how dare you kill my brothers?"

The chief pirate leader stared at Ye Xuan with a venomous gaze. This damned guy had killed his three brothers, and the attack was so swift that he had no time to intervene.

"I had warned them before, to get out of my sight within ten seconds. Unfortunately, they didn’t take it seriously," Ye Xuan said indifferently.

"What are you? I will dismember you into thousands of pieces right now, to avenge my three brothers!"

The rage in the chief pirate leader’s eyes surged, and immediately the True Qi in his body also violently churned. He drew a deep blue long knife, its light sweeping through, the aura of a Third Grade Martial Sect unmistakable.

"Come and meet your death!"

He made a move, charging directly toward Ye Xuan with a long sabre in hand, slicing through the air toward Ye Xuan in a vertical chop that left a staggering vacuum trace in its wake.

Though the blade’s light was initially far away, as if in a fleeting moment, it appeared right in front of Ye Xuan, close at hand and unstoppable.

Yet Ye Xuan himself seemed as if he noticed nothing, showing no reaction whatsoever. This scene made Lady Xuan increasingly anxious. What was Ye Xuan doing—was he planning to meet his end without resistance?

But just as she was about to warn Ye Xuan, he suddenly made a move, merely extending two fingers to clamp down on the approaching blade light.

"Seeking death!"

A sneer formed at the big leader’s lips, finding Ye Xuan’s audacity to confront his attack with just two fingers ludicrously bold.

"Too careless."

Beside Lady Xuan, Elder Tao shook his head as well. This leader of the Four Kings Pirates was a Third Grade Martial Sect Master, while Ye Xuan’s aura still seemed to be at the Second Grade Martial Sect level. Using just two fingers to face an opponent was overly arrogant and careless.

Lady Xuan also shifted her gaze away, as if she couldn’t bear to see the imminent scene of Ye Xuan’s fingers being destroyed.

However, what followed was nothing like expected. The fierce and overwhelming blade was clamped by Ye Xuan, instantly losing all its momentum and was held tightly, unable to move.

"How is this possible?"

The big leader showed a look of shock. Ye Xuan’s two fingers, like iron pliers, firmly clamped down on his blade. Just those two fingers contained terrifying strength.

Puff!

As everyone stood shocked, a flicker of flame suddenly sprouted from Ye Xuan’s fingertips, quickly spreading along the blade and soon engulfing the big leader’s arm. The flame spread ferociously like a prairie fire, swiftly covering the pirate leader’s entire body.

His expression changed, and he hurriedly tried to muster his True Qi to suppress the spread of the flame, but he found that the True Qi alone could not hold back these bizarre flames; on the contrary, it only grew more intense.

"What kind of flame is this?!"

As his face became distorted with panic, the pirate leader no longer cared that his weapon was still clamped by Ye Xuan. He freed his hands in an attempt to extinguish the flames on his body.

But at the moment he stepped back, Ye Xuan’s Spiritual Edge Sword was already unsheathed, striking like a serpent directly at his throat.

The big leader barely dodged Ye Xuan’s cunning sword strike and quickly retreated, looking for a chance to escape.

Ye Xuan had broken his sword move with just two fingers, the two were simply not in the same league. Continuing the fight would mean he would undoubtedly follow in the footsteps of his three brothers; better to preserve the green hills than to burn out. He would remember this vengeance and seek revenge later.

With that thought, he leaped up explosively, soaring like a wild goose from the deck towards the pirate ship from which he had come.

"Mr. Ye, we can’t let him escape!"

Lady Xuan grew anxious. With Ye Xuan’s strength, the Four Kings Pirates might not dare to retaliate, but they would undoubtedly seek revenge on their commerce guild. While Ye Xuan isn’t afraid of retaliation, they couldn’t withstand being hunted by the Four Kings Pirates every day. They needed to completely eliminate this threat.

"Don’t worry, he can’t escape."

Ye Xuan’s gaze was detached. If this guy had tried to escape earlier, he might have found it hard to catch up and wouldn’t have chased, but now it was a bit late to try escaping from his grasp.

With a wave of his hand, the dazzling Thunder Attribute True Qi pressed out from the centre of his handpalm, visibly gathering at a stunning speed into a Thunder Bow, just like the one he formed in the underground of Wanxiang Mountain. Ye Xuan drew the bowstring, placing the Spiritual Edge Sword within, and endlessly channeled the Power of Thunder and Lightning into the sword, aiming at the fleeing pirate leader.

Whoosh!

As all eyes trembled with astonishment, the Spiritual Edge Sword, now an arrow, shot forth, tracing a charred streak in the sky, tearing through the air, becoming blurred.

Spurt!

The Spiritual Edge Sword tore through the void, covering hundreds of meters in an instant, striking the pirate leader right through the heart from behind.

Plop!

Having been struck through the heart by the sword, the pirate leader was beyond salvation, his body falling into the sea, voiceless.

Ye Xuan flashed to the edge of the deck, his hand influencing the pirate leader’s corpse, which he sucked over. He extracted the Martial Arts Golden Core from his Dantian and then threw the corpse back into the sea.

The remaining three pirate leaders’ Golden Cores were also one by one collected by Ye Xuan.

This had been quite a fruitful endeavor for Ye Xuan. At least in the Tiannan Region, the Black Demon Sect had been almost completely wiped out; there were no more Martial Sect Masters for him to kill.

This pirate leader’s power was even inferior to the likes of Tu Ba. Although also a Third Grade Martial Artist, Tu Ba, after all, emerged from the Second Grade Sect, Earth Evil Sect. However, this leader was merely a pirate whose Cultivation Technique and Martial Arts were mediocre. It was no wonder that Ye Xuan killed him so effortlessly.

At this moment, everyone on the deck, including Lady Xuan and Elder Tao, watched Ye Xuan with solemn expressions. This young man in front of them was no ordinary figure. At barely the level of a Second Grade Martial Sect, yet he could easily kill a Third Grade Martial Sect. In the Chaotic Sea Domain, such a talent would also be a prominent figure.
