Death Grip
"At this speed, I should be able to reach Snow Wind Island in about one hour," thought Xing Chen as he rode on a flying beast above the sea.
The flying beast beneath him was called the Lightning Eagle, possessing strength comparable to that of a Yang Po San Chong expert. Its lightning-fast speed was rarely matched in the Yang Spirit Realm.
The Lightning Eagle was a beast that Xing Chen had captured on Nebula Island. After imprinting a Soul Mark on its soul, Xing Chen controlled the beast to fly towards Snow Wind Island.
Sitting cross-legged on the back of the Lightning Eagle, Xing Chen gazed at the vast ocean below, his eyes flickering slightly. He had learned a lot about Snow Wind Island from the Hate Emperor.
Although the era of the Hate Emperor was many years ago, aside from the forces on Snow Wind Island, other aspects should not have changed too much.
He also had a general understanding of the entire sea area, which was divided into ten domains in Ancient Times, each controlled by one of the Top Ten Emperors. The sea area he was currently in was governed by the Nine Heavens Emperor from ancient times.
Although the influence of the Nine Heavens Imperial Palace over this sea area had diminished significantly over time, it still belonged to the Nine Heavens Sea, and that would not change.
In ancient times, the relationship between the Hate Emperor and the Nine Heavens Emperor was quite good, so Hate Emperor had more knowledge about this place compared to other sea areas.
"The strongest presence on Snow Wind Island now is probably at the level of First Stage of Life Observation. It should be impossible for there to be any strong individuals at the level of Second Level of Life Insight Gaze of Life. However, nothing is absolute. If such a strong individual does exist, it would be troublesome," Xing Chen pondered. Although he did not intend to cause trouble on Snow Wind Island, based on his long experience of being hunted, he considered himself a disaster wherever he went. Therefore, he prepared himself mentally for potential confrontations with these individuals.
Given his current strength, he certainly could not win in a fight, so he was only considering how to escape.
As Xing Chen contemplated, the speed of the Lightning Eagle did not slow down at all. It flew through the air like a bolt of lightning. At such high speed, it took only four hours for Xing Chen to catch sight of Snow Wind Island.
From a distance, Snow Wind Island resembled an iceberg, shrouded in snow and wind, covering the entire island in a blanket of white.
"Is this Snow Wind Island? As expected, just like its name, the island is covered in frost, snow, and cold winds," Xing Chen gazed through layers of mist towards Snow Wind Island.
Although Snow Wind Island is not particularly strong in the entire sea area, within a radius of a hundred thousand miles, its strength is still second to none, with very few that can match it.
"There is a pirate ship ahead." Suddenly, Hate Emperor's voice echoed in Xing Chen's mind. Xing Chen immediately looked ahead and saw a large ship approaching in his direction. With a sweep of his Soul Power, he discovered that there were numerous strong practitioners from the Yang Spirit Realm aboard, each one looking fierce with a bloodthirsty glint in their eyes.
"Pirates? I didn't expect to encounter pirates so close to Snow Wind Island. Are there any hidden strong practitioners on that ship?" Xing Chen asked Hate Emperor.
"There is one strong practitioner at the Yang Po Fivefold Peak hidden among them. However, you should be able to handle it. They don't have any flying beasts, so they won't pose much of a threat to you. But if anyone among them knows flying Martial Arts, that could be troublesome," Hate Emperor replied. Although the ship was large, it did not have many people on board; most were captives taken by the pirates. The ship contained a wealth of treasures, all plundered by these pirates. If Xing Chen could defeat them, not only would he gain countless treasures, but he could also rescue those on board, earning their gratitude and establishing broad connections.
However, although there were only about twenty pirates on the ship, they were all above the level of Yang Po Er Chong. Besides the hidden Yang Po Fivefold Peak Pirate Leader, there were three strong practitioners at the Yang Po Fourfold level and ten at the Yang Po San Chong level; the rest were all at the level of Yang Po Er Chong.
This kind of lineup was already quite formidable. Aside from lacking peak experts, their remaining strength could almost rival that of a branch of the Azure Cloud Gang.
"It seems they intend to cause me trouble!" Xing Chen's gaze flickered slightly as he commanded Lightning Eagle to stop. He wanted to see what tricks these pirates had up their sleeves.
"Hey, look at that beast under that Rascal. That's the legendary Lightning Eagle, extremely difficult to catch. I didn't expect to encounter one here; just this one Lightning Eagle is worth more than an Earth Grade Divine Weapon."
"This is our lucky break! Not only have we captured many disciples from major forces in Snow Wind Island, but we've also encountered this Lightning Eagle."
"Don't celebrate too early; that guy looks strong. Plus, with the speed of the Lightning Eagle, there's no way we can catch up. If he decides to escape wholeheartedly, we might not be able to stop him."
On the ship, the pirates greedily looked at the Lightning Eagle beneath Xing Chen's feet, discussing among themselves.
"Oh? So you are interested in my Lightning Eagle. However, whether you can obtain it depends on your own abilities," Xing Chen said with a faint cold smile. Before the large ship could fully approach, a thick black Demonic Aura began to rise from his body.
Even the space where he stood seemed to be subtly turning black, and a shocking Demonic Aura surged up instantly, making him appear like an ancient demon god.
"Is that really someone from Demon Gate? But on the sea, we pirates are in charge. Whether you are from Demon Gate or whatever, if you encounter us, there is only one way out—death."
"That's right! Anyone who dares to provoke our pirate authority on the sea will definitely have no way to survive."
"Why waste so many words? Let's just go and take this guy down, so he knows how powerful we pirates are."
The pirates were all stirred up, and soon they revealed swords and blades emanating a chilling aura.
"Shattering Star Finger, one finger shatters the stars, two fingers break the ground, three fingers extinguish the sky, four fingers dominate the Cosmos, five fingers summon gods and demons!" The cold light flickered in Xing Chen's eyes as five enormous black Demonic Fingers slowly emerged from afar. A tremendous pressure swept toward the pirate ship.
The winds howled in the air, dark clouds gathered, and below, the sea roiled with waves. The pirate ship rocked left and right but continued to sail firmly through the waters.
