Chapter 463: Chapter 385: Raising Her Hand Wasn’t an Apology, But the Five Dragons Celestial Heart Sword!

The Cloud Whale Tavern was bustling with activity.

A middle-aged man with a deep blue bandana, a strong build, and three scars across his face sat in the main seat, enjoying the toasts from the crew and the adoration of beautiful women.

This man was none other than Wu Sheng, one of the few Golden Core powerhouses in the surrounding seas, known as the Sea Yaksha.

The price on his head had reached a staggering three hundred thousand spirit coins at the Court.

At this moment, a thin, snake-eyed man squeezed through the crowd and approached Wu Sheng before speaking in a deep voice:

"Captain, a messenger from Captain Jin has brought news that the clan leader of the Lin Family in Dragon City County is wanted and has fled to his ship. He is now trying to unite forces to attack Dragon City County."

"I heard that this Golden Core Cultivator, Lin Yonghua, the new county head of Dragon City County, has at least over three million spirit coins worth of wealth."

"If we can capture the new county head and drive him away, he is willing to hand over these three million spirit coins to us."

Wu Sheng listened calmly and then laughed, saying:

"Those Immortal Officials, they just sit around and do nothing, yet earn piles of spirit coins."

"Even if we want to rob these damned officials, we dare not take their lives."

"I should have studied harder in the past and earned some respectable status; otherwise, I wouldn’t have ended up as a pirate."

The sinister-looking man nodded in agreement.

"Lin Yonghua only mentioned the benefits he promised us, but has he said what he wants for himself?"

The sinister man replied:

"He said, after he invites various pirate groups to join forces and breaks into Dragon City County, although he doesn’t dare to lay a hand on those Immortal Officials, he plans to wipe out the three major families other than the Lin Family!"

"In this way, he can directly take away all the wealth and even the commercial secrets of the three families, then establish a new Lin Family in the Fa Continent or Bai Continent."

Wu Sheng nodded:

"This Lin fellow is indeed ruthless. If he does this, his own sons and daughters will likely be dragged to the Immortal Execution Platform and beheaded."

"Yet, he doesn’t care at all, only ensuring he can continue to live in power and luxury in the future."

Pausing, the man who appeared rough outwardly but was meticulous shook his head and said:

"But the risk in this matter is too great. Three million spirit coins sound tempting, but after splitting it with other pirate groups and then among our brothers, how much would really be left in our pockets?"

The sinister-looking man replied helplessly:

"But, boss... Lin Yonghua has already connected with the messenger from the Blood God Sect."

"After gaining a foothold in the Fa Continent, he is willing to become one of the Blood God Sect’s affiliates. To draw this Golden Core powerhouse in, the Blood God Sect messenger has already agreed to this massacre in Dragon City County."

"The message brought by Captain Jin’s messenger is more like an order."

Wu Sheng frowned but did not get angry because he understood that from the perspective of the Blood God Sect messenger, there was nothing wrong with his actions.

After all, Lin Yonghua is a Golden Core Cultivator, a force that cannot be underestimated anywhere.

Even with the core members of the entire Blood God Sect and their affiliates, there are no more than twenty Golden Core Cultivators.

Taking a small loss to draw Lin Yonghua in is very worthwhile.

"By the way, doesn’t the Blood God Sect’s Blood Sacrifice Ceremony start soon? How many mortals do they plan to sacrifice this time?"

Wu Sheng suddenly remembered something and asked the sinister man.

After a brief recall, the latter replied:

"One million."

Upon hearing this number, Wu Sheng’s face did not show too much surprise. Instead, he appeared to realize something:

"I see. It seems that the Blood God Sect had long planned to wipe out an entire city and capture enough live sacrifices, and Dragon City County just happened to be in the way."

"Since that’s the case, our Yaksha Pirate Gang must set an example."

"Go ahead, tell them I agree."

The sinister man nodded and said:

"I’ll reply to Captain Jin’s messenger right away."

With that, the sinister man prepared to leave.

But just then, from the door of the Cloud Whale Tavern, which had already been booked by the Yaksha Pirates, came a heavy thud.

In the next second, the door and its frame flew in, crashing heavily onto the ground.

A girl with sharp blue hair and golden eyes appeared at the entrance, slowly retracting the foot she had used to kick open the door.

"Who dares to cause trouble in the territory of our Yaksha Pirates!"

A pirate immediately slammed his hand on the table and looked towards the entrance with murderous intent.

The newcomer was naturally Chen Nuoyi. The girl ignored the clamoring pirate and just stood at the door as if silently waiting for something.

The next second, a voice reached the girl’s ear:

"Guilty as charged, kill them all except for the tavern staff and Wu Sheng used for the scene."

The person speaking, naturally, is Su Yuan in stealth mode.

Before Chen Nuoyi arrived at the Cloud Whale Tavern, he had already reached there first to check the situation and prevent any unexpected events.

Like Lin Yonghua also hiding in this tavern, for example.

No surprises were seen, but instead, he overheard Wu Sheng mentioning the Blood God Sect’s living sacrifice ceremony to his crew.

A hundred thousand people are to be sacrificed alive!

That’s the entire population within the jurisdiction of Dragon City County, and according to Wu Sheng, the Yaksha Pirate Gang has assisted in preparing the sacrificial materials several times.

Because of this, every pirate gang member here is filled with extremely dense demonic qi.

Even the basic crew members in the first or second layer of Qi Cultivation are the same.

This is the true Demon Sect, so evil that merely listening to it made Su Yuan feel like killing someone.

Worried that Chen Nuoyi might go soft because of this, Su Yuan deliberately explained the Blood God Sect’s living sacrifice ceremony to her.

The girl’s cold gaze suddenly took on a deep hue.

An uncontrollable killing intent surged from her body.

This palpable killing intent made many pirates who wanted to spew vile words shiver in fear and unable to speak.

At this moment, Wu Sheng stood up from the main seat, coldly watching Chen Nuoyi:

"Little girl, it’s impolite to interrupt others’ drinking."

"However, I’m in a good mood today. If you apologize nicely, I might let you leave intact."

The sullen man standing next to Wu Sheng was surprised by his words, glancing at Wu Sheng, not expecting his boss to be so lenient this time.

It seemed he was treading cautiously before and after the sacrificial ceremony.

However, faced with Wu Sheng’s seemingly lenient words, the girl remained unmoved. Instead, she slowly raised her right hand, her fist clenching tightly.

And in that instant, an extreme sense of danger filled Wu Sheng’s entire body.

His mind hadn’t reacted yet, but his body moved instinctively.

He first shielded the sullen man in front of him, then immediately rushed towards the tavern’s exit himself.

But it was too late.

"Five! Dragons! Celestial! Heart! Sword!"

The blue-haired girl’s eyes suddenly blazed with golden flames.

One after another, brilliant golden sword qi, infused with infinite dragon qi, shot out from her fingertips!

Five consecutive strikes of sword qi, like five streaks of lightning, instantly pierced the sullen man’s body, reaching Wu Sheng and aiming straight for his neck.

At the critical moment, Wu Sheng managed to raise his arm just in time, shielding his neck, infusing his arm with surging Golden Core Magical Power, causing a robust dark cyan phantom to appear rapidly on its surface.

The phantom resembled the arm of the Sea Yaksha.

Clang, clang, clang, clang—

The golden sword qi successively struck the arm phantom, each strike hitting the same point with impeccable precision.

After just three strikes, the Yaksha arm phantom shattered with a crash.

The fourth strike directly cleaved Wu Sheng’s arm, sending part of it skyward.

The fifth strike finally landed heavily on Wu Sheng’s neck.

Luckily, when blocking the first four strikes, Wu Sheng managed to buy some time and slightly tilted his head, preventing the fifth strike from completely decapitating him.

But even so, his neck was cut open by two-thirds, nearly causing his head to fall off.

If it were a Qi Cultivation or Foundation Establishment Cultivator, such an injury would be fatal, but Wu Sheng was a Golden Core expert.

Even a rogue Golden Core possessed the extraordinary ability of surviving a beheading.

Having narrowly endured the Five Dragons Celestial Heart Sword, Wu Sheng hurriedly raised his remaining hand, pressing his head back onto his neck, staring in shock at the girl before him.

This great pirate who roamed the Sea of Law felt his worldview shattering!

A little girl in the late stage of Foundation Establishment almost killed him with a single strike?

Are young people today really this fierce?

Who on earth is she...

This thought subconsciously emerged in Wu Sheng’s mind.

Immediately, he experienced a slight dizziness and, looking at the girl again, felt a sense of familiarity.

He seemed to recognize this girl.

After a brief assessment, his face changed:

"You... you’re Feng Xuanxiang, the daughter of the Feng Clan Leader from ten years ago?!"
