Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation Chapter 1569

Chapter 1569 (Raw 1551): Suppressive Air

Using the Heavenly Eye, Xiao Chen saw everything that happened in the distance.

A smaller but much faster pirate s.h.i.+p blocked the s.h.i.+p that the blue-clad old man was on.

That pirate s.h.i.+p had a black banner blazoned with a curved scimitar. The entire vessel was covered in sharp spikes, especially the s.h.i.+p’s bow, which was as sharp as a knife.

Although the pirate s.h.i.+p was small, it was much faster than the other s.h.i.+p and much nimbler. No matter how the other s.h.i.+p maneuvered, the other s.h.i.+p could not shake it off.

In fact, the s.h.i.+p that the old man was on was being forced back. Clearly, these two parties had been in conflict for quite some time.

This resulted in Xiao Chen being able to catch up.

Otherwise, with Xiao Chen’s speed, he would not have caught up to the blue-clad old man’s s.h.i.+p.

When Xiao Chen saw that pirate s.h.i.+p, his eyes lit up with fervent interest.

“Master, is there any way to deal with this Black Scimitar Pirate Group? It has been two days already, but we still haven’t gotten away from them,” Luo Nan, the young disciple beside the blue-clad old man, asked with a grave expression.

The Black Scimitar Pirate Group was one of the ten major pirate groups in the nearby astral region.

The blue-clad old man said, “I’ll go talk to them.”

“Brothers of the Black Scimitar Pirate Group, this old man is a second-generation Elder of the Tianyi Sect. Could you give the Tianyi Sect some face and not make things difficult for us? Our Tianyi Sect is not an easy target to bully, either.”

The Tianyi Sect was considered a relatively strong sect in the region. It had a Cloud Sea Realm expert, the next cultivation realm after the Primal Core Realm, in command in the sect. However, the sect was not based in the Profound Light Great Realm.

Although the Tianyi Sect was somewhat far away, it still held some prestige. If these pirates were wise, they would probably give the sect some face.

“Hahaha! This old man is not blind. I saw your Tianyi Sect’s banner long ago. Cut the c.r.a.p. If you want to pa.s.s this place, hand over one hundred thousand Spirit Jades. Otherwise, take the long way around!” On the pirate s.h.i.+p, a black-clad stout man holding a scimitar laughed loudly and arrogantly.

“Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+”

Thirty-odd people came out from behind the black-clad man. All of them were at least of the Veritable Essence Stage. Several of them were in the Yin Essence Stage or the Yang Essence Stage. There were even some who were half step into the Primal Core Realm.

Within the Veritable Personage Realm, there were three stages: Veritable Essence Stage, Yin Essence Stage, and Yang Essence Stage.

The pirates of this pirate s.h.i.+p could be said to be elites, the group equal to some small sects.

This was especially so for the black-clad old man. He was, at the very least, a late-stage Minor Primal Core cultivator.

“One hundred thousand Spirit Jades? You must be crazy. I’ll tell you this: it’s absolutely impossible.”

A murderous intent flashed across the blue-clad old man’s face. Then, he continued, “You are just insignificant pirates, yet you dare to be so arrogant.”

“Hahaha! In that case, I’ll cut the c.r.a.p. Kill everyone!” the pirate leader shouted with a malevolent smile. At his order, all the pirates on the pirate s.h.i.+p laughed and charged over.

Immediately, the cultivators of both sides took to the air, on the verge of a high-speed, close-quarter fight.

“Whoos.h.!.+”

Xiao Chen put away his Heavenly Eye with a dubious expression. This pirate leader seemed to have other motives.

The pirate leader’s objective did not seem to be riches. Otherwise, he would not have demanded a completely unacceptable price.

“Let’s not care about this. The grudges between the two parties have nothing to do with me. However, that pirate s.h.i.+p…”

Xiao Chen felt some temptation. Previously, when he saw the speed of the Astral s.h.i.+p, he had already been somewhat envious.

My Cycle Throne was like a tortoise when compared to that Astral s.h.i.+p. However, compared to that pirate s.h.i.+p, it is worse, like a snail.

The main consideration of an Astral s.h.i.+p is the formations. Next is the materials of the Astral s.h.i.+p. If I can obtain the formations and make alterations to the Cycle Throne…

Is there an opportunity?

Opportunities had to be fought for. If one fought, there would be a chance. If one did not fight, there would be no chance at all.

After making up his mind, Xiao Chen started scheming in his heart. Then, he rushed towards the battle.

Both sides were deeply worried where the battle was taking place.

From an overall view, the Black Scimitar Pirate Group had somewhat of an upper hand. Furthermore, its advantage was growing.

The blue-clad old man was very strong, practically suppressing the pirate leader. His combat style was decisive and vicious, extremely experienced.

However, the situation of the disciples on the s.h.i.+p was somewhat unsightly—practically a one-sided ma.s.sacre.

The disciples would cry out in pain at the slightest injury. As for the pirates, they just continued laughing. These were people who frequently killed. Their combat style was terrifying. The more injuries they sustained, the stronger their baleful aura.

Fortunately, the two disciples of the blue-clad old man were holding down the fort, preventing a rout.

Xiao Chen took in the situation of the battle with a glance. Then, his gaze landed on the pirate s.h.i.+p.

“Senior Brother, look, isn’t that the white-clad bladesman who was being chased by the Demon Tone Bats?” the girl known as Fei`er exclaimed when she saw Xiao Chen’s figure, her eyes lighting up.

“Junior Sister, you are still thinking about that fool at a time like this?”

The thin-lipped man did not believe it. However, when he saw Xiao Chen’s figure, he was somewhat stunned and nearly got injured by a pirate.

“d.a.m.n. Did I see wrong? To think that he is still alive after being chased by the Demon Tone Bats. Even a Primal Core cultivator would not be able to withstand the sound-wave attacks of the Demon Tone Bats. They would end up falling into an illusion, and their minds would be severely injured.”

The blue-clad old man, who was currently fighting the pirate leader, saw Xiao Chen as well.

The blue-clad old man was experienced. Hope immediately woke in his heart. A person who could escape the claws of the Demon Tone Bats was definitely not simple.

Perhaps he might be able to tip the scales in our favor.

“Young hero, would you be willing to help us? Our Tianyi Sect will repay you heavily in the future.”

The old man completely forgot about the time when he misunderstood Xiao Chen and told him to scram far away.

Xiao Chen showed no concern whatsoever, continuing to fly forward as if he had not heard the old man’s words at all.

“Hahaha! Interesting! He is just a Veritable Essence Stage bladesman, and you are treating him like a treasure. The more interesting thing is that he just ignored you. Hahaha!” The black-clad pirate leader guffawed.

However, the pirate leader stopped laughing soon after, as Xiao Chen flew straight towards his pirate s.h.i.+p.

“Screw you! How dare you target this old man’s treasures! Quickly gather a few brothers and kill him. Just an insignificant Veritable Essence Stage bladesman, he must be tired of living.”

The pirates killing on the s.h.i.+p heard their leader’s orders, and three people immediately flew out in pursuit of Xiao Chen.

Confusion appeared in the blue-clad old man’s eyes. He could not figure out what Xiao Chen was planning.

What is he trying to do by going to the pirate s.h.i.+p? Isn’t that just sending himself to death?

There are still some experts on the pirate s.h.i.+p.

“Brat! Stop there!”

Of the three pirates chasing Xiao Chen, one was faster and charged ahead by himself.

Then, this pirate quickly chopped down with his large saber.

“Ka ca!”

The moment the saber light landed, Xiao Chen shattered. Before the pirate could rejoice, he discovered that what he struck was just an afterimage.

“How fast!”

The three pirates were startled, their hearts thumping loudly. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen could dodge this attack so easily.

The pirate whose saber light struck nothing was stunned for a moment as he looked at the shattered pieces of the afterimage before him.

“Die!”

Suddenly, a figure charged out from the remains of the afterimage.

Before this pirate could react, a fist that was like a saber, exuding an unparalleled sharpness, struck him.

Hit with two Cauldron Force and Great Dao Energy, that pirate instantly exploded.

The corpse of that pirate shattered completely, leaving only a blood mist.

“A Yin Essence Stage cultivator does not…seem like much…,” Xiao Chen muttered to himself as he retracted his fist.

Right now, he urgently needed to gauge his true strength. However, it was clear that this was not the time.

“Seventh Brother!”

This turn of events stunned the two pirates behind. They could not accept their seventh brother dying like that.

Xiao Chen glanced over indifferently, but he could not be bothered with them. His clothes fluttered as he performed a somersault and spread his arms, continuing to fly towards the pirate s.h.i.+p.

This scene shocked many people. No one had expected this white-clad bladesman to kill a Yin Essence Stage cultivator so easily.

“Senior Brother, he does not seem to be an ordinary Veritable Essence Stage cultivator!” A bright light flashed in Fei`er’s eyes as she said, pleasantly surprised, “Perhaps he might be able to help us.”

“Stop dreaming. No matter what, he is just a Veritable Essence Stage loose cultivator. He will definitely die by going to the pirate s.h.i.+p. There is a half-step Primal Core Realm expert there. However, this will help us by luring over some pirates,” Luo Nan said emotionlessly, not caring at all.

After easily dodging the attacks of the two pursuing pirates, Xiao Chen soon landed on the deck of the pirate s.h.i.+p.

“Boom!”

The two pirates behind panted lightly as they landed heavily on the deck, kicking up a cloud of dust and blocking Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen’s eyes lit up as he looked at the skinny bladesman on the left side. He said, “A Yang Essence Stage cultivator. Not bad, I can sense some Baleful Yang Energy in you.”

“You are really not afraid of death. Even after seeing the two of us, you show no fear at all.” The skinny man enunciated his words heavily. As he looked at Xiao Chen, killing Qi surged out.

Xiao Chen shook his head slightly. “You two? While you have the strength, the air that you give off cannot scare me.”

Right after saying that, Xiao Chen suddenly radiated an overwhelming aura. He had experienced many things in the Kunlun Realm for over twenty years, baptized by all sorts of events and battles.

This so-called air depended on a person’s experience and mental state. Xiao Chen’s mental state was far beyond what these two pirates could manage.

As for Xiao Chen’s experience, he was a legend in the Kunlun Realm. How could these two n.o.bodies compare to that?

The moment this strong aura appeared, the air that Xiao Chen exuded gave the two pirates great pressure, forcing them to retreat a few steps involuntarily.

Revealing mockery on his lips, Xiao Chen said coldly, “You are full of openings. No matter how high your cultivation is, it is useless.”
