Chapter 5

She prepared to take this chance to slip away!

However,

just as she was about to rise and quietly leave,

a hand suddenly grabbed her arm,

and yanked her back!

Nami instinctively looked up,

and saw Li Xiao looking at her with a smiling face,

and said:

"My dear little sister, your big brother is right here — where are you running off to?"

Hearing this,

Nami couldn't help but stiffen,

and instinctively tried to pull her hand free with all her might,

only to find her hand clamped as if in a pair of iron pincers,

and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free even a fraction!

It's over, it's over, she can't slip away now!

Nami's face fell,

and she forced out a smile, saying:

"N-no, it's nothing! I just, uh, my leg went numb, I was stretching it out!"

Li Xiao gave her a long, deep look,

and didn't say anything more,

turning his head to look at the other side,

where several pirates wielding cleavers had already charged forward at the front of the pack!

Seeing this,

Li Xiao showed not the slightest hint of fear,

and instead looked rather eager to try his hand!

After learning that he was in the Pirate World,

Li Xiao was even more eager to find out exactly what level his current cultivation base would amount to in the Pirate World!

Since he'd run into Nami here,

that meant he should currently be somewhere in the East Sea.

As for that burly man in front of him, Li Xiao had no impression of him at all,

and the Shark Pirates he'd mentioned were something he'd never heard of either,

so he figured they were small fry who'd never appeared in the original work.

Being a bottom-tier pirate crew in the East Sea,

even that burly captain probably only had a bounty of a few million,

posing very little threat,

making him the perfect unit to measure Li Xiao's combat strength for the first time!

In that split second between thought and action,

these thoughts had merely flashed through Li Xiao's mind!

At this moment,

those few pirates had already charged right up to him,

their blades mere inches away!

Li Xiao's expression didn't change,

spiritual power circulated within his body,

and gripping the Clear Frost Sword, he raised his hand and slashed!

A pale cyan sword qi materialized,

and shot straight toward the few pirates!

At such close range,

the pirates didn't even have time to react,

before the sword qi had already sliced through the long blades in their hands,

sending sprays of blood fountaining from their chests,

and then their whole bodies were sent flying backward!

Seeing this,

the burly captain was first stunned,

then angrily said:

"A bunch of useless trash!"

"Brat, you've got some skill — let daddy personally send you on your way!"

Having said that,

he let out a furious roar,

and hefting the spiked club in his hand, smashed it heavily toward Li Xiao!

A sharp glint flashed in Li Xiao's eyes,

Bracing his left hand on the ground, he rose to his feet in one motion,

and faced the ferocious incoming strike,

showing not the slightest intention to dodge—lifting his sword, he charged straight in to meet it!

Blade met weapon!

It was nothing like the imagined even match—

that seemingly thick and sturdy wolf-tooth club was sliced clean in two at the waist by the Green Frost Sword, as easily as cutting through tofu!

The Green Frost Sword's momentum did not lessen in the slightest,

and it went straight for the burly captain's neck!

The next second,

as fresh blood sprayed out,

the burly captain's heavy body crashed to the ground!

Seeing this scene,

Nami, sitting behind Li Xiao, was instantly dumbfounded!

The members of the Shark Pirates were also dumbfounded!

Even Li Xiao himself was dumbfounded!

Th-that's it?

And he just got his lunchbox?

Wait,

I just threw out a casual basic attack,

and your damn life is just gone???

Looking all big and burly,

turns out you didn't even build any tank gear!

Li Xiao slowly sheathed his sword,

silently rubbing his brow,

looking rather troubled!

Damn it, miscalculated!

This unlucky bastard really is a bit too weak!

Can't serve as a unit of combat power measurement at all!

In the span of Li Xiao's daze,

the remaining pirates of the Shark Pirates had already scattered in all directions,
