Chapter 741: All-Out War

Kanut never could have imagined that with his Zoan-type Blue Shark ability and maxed-out defense, he would still suffer such a devastating blow from Zhang Ye!

He roared at Phoenixin Ren in the distance,

“You lied to me! His strength is nothing like what you said!”

After that one move, the area where Kanut had just stood had been utterly wiped clean.

Other than Kanut, everyone else—hundreds of pirates behind him, including Chen Siyu, the ability user who cast the Imprisoning Domain—had been turned to dust!

The scene stunned everyone present.

Of the over a thousand members of the Dragon Pirate Crew, only about three or four hundred remained now.

Kanut had taken Zhang Ye’s Void Sphere head-on and was gravely wounded.

The rest of his underlings were paralyzed in fear.

Even the Celestial Hound Squad members were standing there, frozen.

Given their power levels, they couldn’t even comprehend the magnitude of what they had just witnessed.

“This is... true captain-level strength,”

Ye He murmured as he stared at Zhang Ye.

Even Deng Shentong didn’t possess such terrifying wide-range AOE destructive power.

This was undeniably captain-tier strength, no mistake about it.

And the benchmark for captain-level? An ability index of over 9000 points!

Phoenixin Ren, Shinguuji Seiichiro, and the rest of the Eclipse Moon members were also wide-eyed in disbelief.

“D*mn it, the intel we got was wrong!”

“There’s no way he’s just some vice-captain-level fighter with an 8200-point power rating!”

Back in Blizzard City, everyone at the Command Center wore identical looks of shock.

Zhu Zheng’s expression shifted from stunned to smiling in less than a second.

He settled back into his chair, folded his hands on the table, and said,

“I thought he was already hiding his true strength well...”

“But I didn’t expect—he never even showed us his real power.”

They had been worried Zhang Ye might get killed by the combined forces of Eclipse Moon and the Dragon Pirate Crew.

But now, morale in the command center soared.

“At this rate, Zhang Ye and his squad will definitely hold out until the Samsara Squad arrives!”

Since he couldn’t contact Zhang Ye directly, Zhu Zheng once again reached out to Gao Changkong to speed up their deployment to Tianhai City.

“How’s Zhang Ye holding up?”

Gao Changkong asked with urgency.

Zhu Zheng replied with a mysterious smile:

“No need to worry too much. As long as you get there in time, the victory’s ours.”

“Zhang Ye is way stronger than we ever gave him credit for!”

Gao Changkong was briefly stunned, then chuckled.

“Just like Baili said... He’s like a farmer who’s lived through too many famines—always hiding grain during the harvest season, just in case.”

“Well, looks like he’s finally hooked a big fish!”

Those who had underestimated Zhang Ye and tried to trap him were now eating their hearts out in regret.

At this point, perhaps only Baili Changqing and the members of the Black Robe Squad truly understood what was happening.

They remembered the battle from a few months ago in Tianhai City.

Compared to that fight, this current situation was nothing.

They had gone toe-to-toe with an actual Epsilon-level Awakened.

It was Zhang Ye who led them to victory over Yuan Kongye—and absorbed his essence.

So, no matter how strong Zhang Ye appeared now, they fully accepted it.

Suddenly, Wu Di exclaimed,

“The barrier’s gone!”

But Zhang Ye remained calm.

“The real battle... is just beginning.”

The Dragon Pirate Crew had never been considered a true threat by Zhang Ye.

The real pressure came from the ones standing on that hill—the members of Eclipse Moon.

Ye He, Xue Miao, and Lu Yinghao all locked eyes with them, barely able to suppress their hatred.

These were the ones who had wiped out the once-glorious Celestial Squad.

Even their captain, Deng Shentong, had been forced to self-destruct.

The hatred was bone-deep. Unforgettable.

Zhang Ye raised his head, staring coldly at the figures standing on the hill.

And Phoenixin Ren and his group were staring back with equal intensity.

Both sides knew—the key to ending this battle was to eliminate the other.

Just then, Baili Changqing received a communication from Zhu Zheng.

He hesitated but still relayed the message to Zhang Ye:

“Zhu Shuai says the Samsara Squad will arrive in thirty minutes tops. He’s asking you to hang in there.”

Zhang Ye glanced at him with indifference, saying nothing in response.

He wasn’t sure whether Zhu Zheng could be trusted.

Since he wasn’t sure, he’d trust himself.

“Phoenixin Ren is mine. The rest of you—take care of the others. Baili.”

As agreed, Zhang Ye left the tactical planning to Baili Changqing.

Now that the Imprisoning Domain had been lifted—

And with the enemies so close—it was clear: the situation would devolve into a massive free-for-all.

At times like this, everyone had to rely on their own strength.

Zhang Ye only needed to keep the enemy commander locked down.

Thirty minutes.

He’d give Zhu Zheng that long. But not an ounce more trust.

Baili Changqing took the command and immediately began assigning tasks to the Celestial Hound Squad members.

Zhang Ye gave instructions to those nearest to him:

“Liang Yue, I need you to stall one of Eclipse Moon’s elites.”

“Hua Hua, protect Xinxin. When it comes to speed, barely anyone here can match you. If needed—run. Keeping you and Xinxin alive is top priority.”

Liang Yue nodded firmly.

She gripped her Dragon Roar sword tight.

Almost as if drawn by some top-tier warrior’s instinct, Tsukamoto Nobunaga—who was on the hill—locked eyes with her.

Even from hundreds of meters away, their battle auras clashed so fiercely it made the air around them feel sharp and oppressive.

“I’ve found my opponent,”

Liang Yue said.

Meanwhile, Hua Hua had already fully grown in size.

It nestled Yang Xinxin inside its thick fur, only exposing her neck and head.

Its steel-hard, razor-sharp coat served as the ultimate shield.

While Zhang Ye issued commands, Phoenixin Ren wasn’t idle either.

Zhang Ye’s explosive power had completely shaken him.

Ever since he had helped found the organization in the Kansai region, and with Takeuchi Mayumi’s prophecies as guidance, Phoenixin Ren had never been caught off guard in battle.

Even when he met foes he couldn’t defeat, he always sensed danger in advance and withdrew early.

But this time, across the sea, he had run into his nemesis.

When someone spends too long in their comfort zone, stepping out even once feels disorienting.

Like a techie lost in a no-internet mountain village.

That’s how Phoenixin Ren felt when facing Zhang Ye: utterly unsettled.

And that unsettling feeling filled him with a powerful urge—to eliminate Zhang Ye.

“Shinguuji,” he said to the man beside him,

“Come with me. Let’s take down their captain first.”

Shinguuji Seiichiro adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.

For once, he didn’t argue.

Because he understood—

For someone like Phoenixin Ren, who always exuded confidence, to ask for help meant only one thing:

He was no longer sure he could handle this enemy on his own.
