Chapter 291

And at this moment, in the eastern sea, Red Stone Island.

The Japanese pirates had set up a camp here, with several overseers holding a meeting; the leader was a Martial Saint realm cultivator.

A Black Armor General at the Primordial Core realm spoke: 'Chi He Martial Saint, any news lately from the homeland?'

Chi He Martial Saint shook his head: 'No news for several days; likely something big is happening over there too, don't worry, we just need to handle our affairs here.'

The Black Armor General, hearing that, also felt embarrassed to keep asking, so he switched to another question.

'Martial Saint Sir, is it really alright for us to cooperate with those evil spirits?'

Chi He Martial Saint glanced at him: 'Do you not think it's too late to say this now? Since we started obeying the evil spirits' orders and continually harassing Great Wu, we already had no way back.'

That's correct. A thousand years ago, when the evil spirits invaded, the Martial Saint of Japan had already pledged allegiance to them, and these years he has continually followed their orders to act, and continually harassing Great Wu is also their order.

The Black Armor General's face full of worry: 'I fear that the Martial Emperor now has free hands; they won't act against us, will they?'

Chi He Martial Saint's face showed some madness: 'Precisely because of this, we have no retreat; we can only bind ourselves tightly to the evil spirits!'

'If we don't succeed, we become benevolent!!!'

Just then, a noisy clamor rose from outside the house: 'Who is up in the sky?'

Chahun's voice came over: 'The world‑passing Yama, Shen Qing, Sir Shen is here! You Japanese pirates still...'

But before he could finish, Zhang Dao‑yi interrupted: 'Chahun, why are you wasting words with them? They're just bullying you, a scholar.'

'Watch me!'

'Demonic‑dispelling Sword Formation!'

Of course, Zhang Dao‑yi wasn't the fastest either; faster were the wildly shifting winds and clouds in the sky, and the incessantly sweeping thunder.

This is Shen Qing's Thunder Domain.

What thunder could be more suitable for clearing out the foot soldiers?

Terrifying thunder dragons kept bombarding the ground, one after another terrifying explosion rang out; the ground was blasted into pits, and any Japanese pirates touched by the thunder turned to charcoal and flying ash.

Following closely were several black‑and‑white flying swords, also moving at extreme speed to slice the Japanese pirates: one sword stabs the leg to prevent escape, one sword stabs the mouth to stop screams, three swords directly let you see your grandmother.

Only the miserable screams kept ringing out,

'Ah!!!'

'A Martial Saint? Why are they here!'

'Big brother! Two...'

The miserable screams cut off abruptly, because he, like his elder and second brothers, was split by Shen Qing into charcoal.

Shen Qing stood in midair, his black hair flying wildly, faint lightning flickering at the tips; each pointed hand was accompanied by sweeping thunder, matching Shen Qing's slightly mad smile, making him seem like a reborn Yama at this moment.

Looking at the terrifying Shen Qing nearby, Chahun also stared blankly.

Shen Qing had said earlier that he would attack upon meeting.

But he didn't expect it to be this decisive!

He really didn't give any chance to speak!

But soon Chahun reacted: previously his timid obedience was because he had no backing.

But now, Shen Du is his backing, and even personally came to the Suke Dynasty to help him.

If he still acted timidly obedient.

Then Shen Qing didn't come in vain?

Chahun understood this, his aura no longer concealed, leaking out—peak of the third layer of the Martial Saint realm!

He is not that timid old king of the Suke Dynasty; he is the Lava Martial Saint, Chahun!

'Damned Japanese pirates! Go die!'

Only seen, Chahun swiftly fell to the ground, hands pressed to the earth, accompanied by a furious shout.

The Lava Domain unfolded, temperature instantly becoming scorching; boiling magma centered on Chahun swept in all directions, the Japanese pirates in the magma wailed and screamed, but could not escape, being directly swallowed by the magma, not even leaving corpses.

In a moment, the left side of Red Stone Island was boiling lava, the right side was Zhang Dao Yi's Demon-Repelling Sword Formation, and above was Shen Qing's Thunder Domain.

No choice, the Japanese pirates could only run toward the center of Red Stone Island.

But this actually suited Shen Qing's intention.

Not bad!

Shen Qing gripped the hilt of the Slay Dragon sword.

Slay Dragon! Switch to Golden Dragon form!

The Slay Dragon trembled, a golden aura spread, Shen Qing raised his blade, gathering terrifying blade intent.

A dark-black blade aura appeared at the tip, Shen Qing prepared to unleash the Return to the Void Guide.

At that moment, the Japanese pirates' Red Harmony Martial Saint also appeared, he madly charged toward Shen Qing, trying to stop him.

At this moment, a golden bell barred the Red Harmony Martial Saint Shen Qing; Wu Nian, with a calm expression, barred himself before the Red Harmony Martial Saint: 'I will not allow you to act against Master Shen.'

Although Wu Nian had comprehended the Slaughter Domain, he still could not allow himself to slaughter wantonly; likewise, he would not stop anyone from disturbing Shen Qing.

The Red Harmony Martial Saint attacked the golden bell like a madman, but to no avail; each time a golden bell burst, a new golden bell appeared.

Shen Qing glanced back at the Red Harmony Martial Saint: 'Are you the Red Harmony Martial Saint of Wa?'

'You just keep watching, don't you? Watching your descendants, watching your soldiers being massacred by me!'

'And you can only watch like a useless waste!'

The Red Harmony Martial Saint's eyes reddened instantly, and he bellowed in despair: 'No!!!'

Only saw Shen Qing swing a blade, unleashing a terrifying dark-black blade light.

All the Japanese pirates only felt the sky darken; each Japanese pirate blankly lifted his head, but they could only see a sky-covering blade light hurtling toward them.

Each of them had their mouths wide open, shrieking madly, yet not a sound escaped, for their cries were also obliterated by the Return to the Void Guide.

Only saw the blade light swiftly descend; all the Japanese pirates couldn't make any move before being obliterated by the Return to the Void Guide, leaving no remains.

At that moment, the sound also returned to heaven and earth.

Boom!!!

Only a tremendous boom was heard as the entire island was split in two by this terrifying blade light, huge ripples sweeping up massive waves that surged wildly in all directions.

Crack crack crack crack!

This was the sound of the rocks on the island continually rolling and sinking into the seabed, the whole island continually sinking into the deep sea, Shen Qing cleaving and sinking Red Stone Island with a single strike.

And the fate of those pirates who weren't killed by the thunder, lava, or sword formation was no better.

Don't forget, water conducts electricity!

They fell into the water.

Terrifying thunder swept across the sea; on shore they could still dodge a bit, but in the water where could they hide? All the pirates who fell into the water were almost instantly electrocuted, instantly becoming cooked meat, reduced to fish feed.

And that Chi He Martial Saint was also stunned; this strike was clearly not something an ordinary Martial Saint could withstand.

He had to run quickly!

If he didn't run, he'd also become fish feed!

But before he could run far, Shen Qing had already stepped forward to stand before him.

And as ripples flashed in the air, Zhang Dao Yi appeared on his right, the Lava Martial Saint Chahun came to his left, and behind him was Wu Nian.

Shen Qing looked at Chi He Martial Saint and said, "Your name is Chi He, right? Don't say we're not giving you a chance—I'll give you two choices."

"A duel or a gang-up?"

"If it's a gang-up, then the four of us will gang up on you."

Chi He Martial Saint hurriedly said, "I choose a duel."

Shen Qing smiled.

"A duel means you alone taking on the four of us."
