Chapter 1518: Do Not Harm My Ye Erge

Facing Chen Mang, who appeared with a band of space pirates, Chen's father and mother were filled with complex feelings.

His son practically has an indestructible battle-honed body, top-notch talent, yet inexplicably ended up as a space pirate—any parents would probably find it hard to accept at first.

Chen Mang, meanwhile, was completely unaware of his parents' thoughts; at this moment he was fighting these Black Rock Realm cultivators, and the battle was intensifying.

Shan Hu fought alongside him, and their combined strength at this time also drew many sideways glances from those around.

"Not bad, kid, your combat strength is impressive."

Several Emperor Sovereign-level space pirates looked at Shan Hu and Chen Mang, all wearing expressions of approval.

Such strength would definitely place them among the top prodigies in any world.

As expected, they are indeed subordinates of Ye Erge.

As for Shan Hu and Chen Mang, the space pirates naturally weren't strangers to them; they knew both were subordinates of Ye Zhangqing.

Out of affection for their master, the space pirates still regarded them quite favorably.

Speaking of Ye Zhangqing, he hadn't made a move yet, after all it wasn't yet time for him to act.

Qiu Baiyi and Bai Xianer were also by Ye Zhangqing's side at this time.

The two girls' thoughts were simple: they only cared about Ye Zhangqing's safety; as for anything else, it seemed unrelated to them.

How the battle turned out, who won or lost—what did it have to do with them?

But just then, perhaps driven to desperation, a Black Rock Realm Cultivation: Great Saint cultivator suddenly set his sights on the Star Battleship.

Perhaps seeing that his side couldn't match these space pirates, knowing he was outmatched, he decided to take out his frustration on the Star Battleship—even if he died, he wanted to destroy one.

As fate would have it, the Star Battleship chosen by this Black Rock Realm Cultivation: Great Saint was precisely the flagship that Ye Zhangqing was aboard.

Watching as this Black Rock Realm Cultivation: Great Saint slashed out with a blade, the blade-light shot straight toward the Star Battleship.

The many space pirates who had been relaxed and content instantly panicked.

The space pirates closest by shouted angrily.

"Courting death."

"Do not harm my Ye Erge."

"Intercept that blade-light."

Without the slightest hesitation, several space pirates immediately rushed forward.

They immediately tore that Black Rock Realm Cultivation: Great Saint apart alive on the spot.

Each space pirate had bloodshot eyes, brimming with killing intent; to an outsider it looked as if someone had dug up their ancestors' graves.

Just moments ago they were fine—what suddenly drove them mad?

However, that blade-light was still heading straight for the Star Battleship; seeing this, Bai Xianer and Qiu Baiyi had originally intended to intervene.

But an Emperor Sovereign space pirate surged forward, blocking the blade-light with his flesh and blood, simultaneously roaring loudly.

"Don't panic, Ye Erge—I'm coming too."

Watching these space pirates each throw themselves into the fray heedless of danger, the Black Rock Realm crowd was dumbfounded.

"Come on, it's just an attack on your Star Battleship—do we really need to go this far?"

Earlier, when they crossed blows, these space pirates weren't this frenzied; now, after merely attacking the Star Battleship, each of them acts like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.

"Is there something strange about this Star Battleship?"

"Or perhaps it was one of the Emperor Sovereigns who first realized what was going on."

Just now those space pirates kept shouting "Ye Erge," clearly indicating that someone important was aboard this Star Battleship.

Gazing at the seven Emperor Sovereign space pirates before him, this Black Rock Realm Emperor Sovereign secretly wondered, could it be that these seven aren't the true leaders of this pirate band?

"The real leader hasn't shown himself; he's actually inside the Star Battleship—that fellow whom the many space pirates call Ye Erge?"

Upon reaching this thought, this Black Rock Realm space pirate also steeled himself and shouted loudly.

"Charge forward, capture Ye Erge alive."

"Anyway, whether we live or die now, the strength of these space pirates completely exceeds our expectations."

"If we keep fighting like this, they won't be able to escape defeat."

"Just facing those seven Emperor Sovereign space pirates, the four of them already struggle to hold out."

"The same goes for those below; it would be better to go all-in—if we could capture that so-called Ye Erge, we could force these space pirates to submit and carve out a bloody path."

"Meanwhile, the four Emperor Sovereigns of the Black Rock Realm also secretly sought an opportunity to strike."

"Since he is the leader of these space pirates, his strength as Ye Erge is probably not weak either."

"Ordinary cultivators likely couldn't pose a threat; in the end, it still depends on these four."

"That earlier remark was merely meant to stir the situation, to create an opening for these four."

"At this moment, the four, intentionally or not, began to approach the Star Battleship."

"As expected, upon hearing that shout, the seven Emperor Sovereign space pirates engaged with the four instantly flew into a rage."

"Courting death—dare to act against Ye Erge."

"I'll kill you all."

"If you dare to harm a single hair of Ye Erge, I will leave not a chicken or dog alive in your Black Rock Realm."

"The more the seven Emperor Sovereign space pirates reacted this way, the more the four Black Rock Realm Emperor Sovereigns became convinced of their suspicion."

"Even the Emperor Sovereign space pirates show such respect and anxiety toward that so-called Ye Erge—it seems Ye Erge truly is the leader of this pirate gang."

"And the cultivators of the Black Rock Realm, upon hearing their Emperor Sovereign's words, also went mad, rushing toward the Star Battleship."

"Capture Ye Erge alive."

"Kill, take down Ye Erge."

"In response, the many space pirates naturally wouldn't let them have their way—Ye Zhangqing is right there on the Star Battleship; how could we allow these fellows to threaten Ye Erge?"

"The space pirates went berserk in their efforts to stop them."

Stop them.

Don't let them get close to the Star Battleship.

If Ye Er Ge so much as loses a single hair, I'll kill you all.

Die!

In an instant, the offense and defense seemed to have flipped; the people of the Black Rock Realm frantically tried to charge the Star Battleship, while the Space Pirates went berserk defending the Star Battleship.

No matter what, I won't let these Black Rock Realm cultivators get anywhere near the Black Rock Realm.

But the more the Space Pirates did this, the more the countless Black Rock Realm cultivators went berserk.

Because this proves our Emperor Sovereign's judgment was right; the Ye Er Ge on that Star Battleship must be the true leader of these Space Pirates.

Only Ye Zhangqing aboard the Star Battleship was utterly confused, his face a blank.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

Out of nowhere, everyone's coming after me, and I didn't even say a word.

From start to finish, Ye Zhangqing didn't even show his face, let alone say a word, but damn it, why are all these Black Rock Realm people charging at me?

Also, just now, which damn smart-ass claimed to be the leader of these Space Pirates?

It's just that idiot yelling 'Capture Ye Er Ge' that made all these Black Rock Realm people charge at me.

Damn it, where did you get the idea that I'm the leader of these Space Pirates?

Ye Zhangqing's face darkened, while Qiu Baiyi and Bai Xian'er beside him couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.

Isn't this like sitting at home and having a pot fall from the sky?

Seeing the two girls struggling to keep a straight face, Ye Zhangqing said irritably.

"Go ahead and laugh if you want; don't hold it in till you make yourself sick."

Damn it, I didn't do anything, and in the blink of an eye I became the head of the Space Pirates.
