Chapter 3966: Chapter 3966: Laying the Cards on the Table (Fifth Update)
Ye Chen stared at Zhou Ji, saying calmly, "You should know that a martial artist with the Destruction Divine Dao, if they self-detonate, can unleash unimaginable power. Want to risk it? You can try."
At this moment, a terrifying and ferocious aura suddenly erupted around Ye Chen, resembling an Ancient Demon Beast. Its fierceness was such that even the brutal pirates couldn’t help but have their eyes tremble, feeling a sliver of fear in their hearts!
Ye Chen understood clearly that at such times, one must be ruthless! There cannot be even a hint of retreat. Either we die together, or agree to my conditions—no concessions or compromises!
Zhou Ji’s expression grew colder, and he replied in a deep voice, "Are you threatening me?"
The pressure from his late-stage Qiankun Realm surged instantly to the sky, changing the color of Fengyun, and the surrounding seawater began to roil violently!
A heavy hammer appeared in Zhou Ji’s hand, and with murderous intent flashing in his eyes, the Dao Integration condensed on the hammer. He raised his hand violently, seemingly about to strike Ye Chen with it!
The terrifying power of late-stage Qiankun Realm exploded completely; even before the hammer fell, the surrounding void was already crazily shattering!
The pirates were excited too, eager for Ye Chen to die right now!
This kid must be a lunatic to dare threaten Zhou Ji in these circumstances?
Did he really think that those surviving in the Vicious Sea were clay figures?
Meanwhile, the Destruction Dao Rhythm around Ye Chen also became violent in an instant!
Just when everyone thought Zhou Ji was about to smash Ye Chen to death before he could self-detonate, the overwhelming Dao Rhythm suddenly dissipated like smoke in a storm, and heaven and earth returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Zhou Ji retracted the hammer and laughed heartily, "Good lad, you’re really not afraid of death?"
Just as he was about to strike, he felt a surge of life-and-death aura, and Ye Chen’s figure transformed into a chasm of destruction in his eyes!
He knew that if he struck, the indifferent young man before him would indeed self-detonate, and he might not be able to stop it!
The aura around Ye Chen did not immediately settle down; his body trembled slightly as he struggled to suppress the violent power within, gradually stabilizing after a moment.
Seeing this, Zhou Ji’s forehead even had beads of sweat forming; he knew that if he had been one second later in retracting, he might truly have died here...
The pirates couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva; they were no fools and naturally understood why Zhou Ji backed off.
Zhou Ji glanced at Qin Hongyue beside Ye Chen, a passionate look flickering in his eyes, but it quickly turned into regret. After a moment’s silence, he said, "I agree to your conditions. Kid, what’s your name?"
"Ye Chen."
Zhou Ji grinned at Ye Chen, saying, "Ye Chen, I truly admire you. Whether it’s your Martial Arts Talent, your courage, or that ruthlessness, all very much to my liking. Believe me, life in the Vicious Sea isn’t as bad as you might think, even more joyful than in the Chenyue Sea!"
Zhou Ji indeed had a fondness for women, but in his view, women were merely playthings, and Ye Chen had the qualification to make him give up on this plaything.
As for the revenge of Beihan Commerce after Qin Hongyue leaves?
Zhou Ji remained indifferent; as long as Beihan Commerce doesn’t break the rules of the Vicious Sea, he feels no fear.
Even if the rules were broken, it wouldn’t matter because they would have to face the entire Vicious Sea!
He knew that merchants pursued interests, and why would they engage in a matter with no benefits?
Ye Chen didn’t respond; beside him, Qin Hongyue’s pretty face showed a complex expression. She secretly vowed that once she left the Red Sea, she would spare no effort to rescue Ye Chen!
If initially they had only a cooperative relationship, since Ye Chen proposed the condition to Zhou Ji, his position in Qin Hongyue’s heart had completely changed...
Escorted by Zhou Ji, Ye Chen and Qin Hongyue swaggeredly traversed through various pirate group territories without any concerns, considerably speeding up their approach to the Red Sea.
Suddenly, Qin Hongyue’s expression shifted; she sensed her Communication Jade Token vibrating slightly in the storage bag.
She immersed her divine soul into the jade token, and in the next moment, a hint of joy appeared uncontrollably in her beautiful eyes!
The Spiritual Communication was from Huang Qi!
Huang Qi informed her that he was approaching with two late-stage Qiankun Realm experts aboard the fastest ship of the Commerce, heading towards the West Red Sea!
But just then, Zhou Ji’s expression flickered as he turned to glance at Qin Hongyue.
Qin Hongyue’s heart trembled, and she quickly retracted her divine soul, not daring to reply to Huang Qi; she knew that with Zhou Ji’s strength nearby, he could intercept any sending Spiritual Communication...
Her eyes flashed; she knew now was not the time to enter the Vicious Sea, but to delay!
Delay until Elder Huang and the others arrive!
On the other side, Huang Qi’s eyebrows were furrowed, his expression growing solemn.
Lin Jianqing saw this and couldn’t help asking, "Elder Huang, what’s wrong?"
Huang Qi replied, "Miss hasn’t sent a Spiritual Communication. I’m afraid her situation isn’t good. Master Lin, how is the contact with West Sea Guanghan Palace going?"
Lin Jianqing’s eyes flashed with killing intent before nodding, "The Palace Master has agreed to use the Great Teleportation Array to directly transfer us from the edge of the Vicious Sea!"
Huang Qi’s eyes brightened; this was the primary reason why Qin Xiaofeng asked Lin Jianqing for assistance—to protect Qin Hongyue, the key was time!
Even with the fastest ship, chasing Qin Hongyue from North Sea would take nearly a month!
That’s obviously impractical!
However, there’s a solution—the Great Teleportation Array!
Ye Chen initially entered Chenyue Sea using this array, directly transferring near Heavenly Imperial Pavilion!
This Great Teleportation Array is completely controlled by Guanghan Palace of each sea region!
On the North Sea side, Qin Xiaofeng personally requested the North Sea Guanghan Palace Master to assist by using the Great Teleportation Array to send them to the location adjacent to the West Sea, requiring Lin Jianqing’s intervention for the West Sea side!
Of course, using this Great Teleportation Array to teleport the entire ship directly requires enormous resources, and convincing the North Sea Guanghan Palace Master certainly cost Qin Xiaofeng significantly.
...
Suddenly, Qin Hongyue grabbed Ye Chen’s hand and walked towards the room on the warship. Zhou Ji grinned, eyes twinkling with amusement, teasing, "Oh? Miss Qin, you’re taking Mr. Ye into the room for what?"
