Chapter 90: One Punch Kill!

Hearing these words, Ye Ming suddenly stopped his movements and turned to look at Zi Zhen Zhu.

At this moment, Zi Zhen Zhu was twisting her body slightly, her beautiful features and fiery figure fully on display.

She stared at Ye Ming, a burning light appearing in her eyes.

This kind of domineering man stirred the deepest part of her heart, that longing for the opposite sex.

"How about it, Ye Ming, be my husband!"

"If you do, the entire Zi Zhen Zhu Pirate Group will be yours!"

"Even I will be yours!"

Ye Ming frowned slightly, and a Tyrant Bear Phantom appeared behind him.

Swift-as-Flying Gu activated! With one step, his figure was already in front of Zi Zhen Zhu.

"Boom!!"

A punch was thrown, and a terrifying hole appeared directly in Zi Zhen Zhu's chest.

Zi Zhen Zhu's pupils dilated; she slowly looked down, only to see that blood-drenched scene.

"You... you..."

Ye Ming withdrew his hand, and Zi Zhen Zhu fell backward, full of unwillingness.

At this moment, the entire scene was silent.

The group of pirates looked at the fallen Zi Zhen Zhu, then at the terrifying figure before them; for a time, they were actually at a loss for what to do.

Ye Ming then spoke the first sentence since arriving at this place: "Whoever wants to flee, dies!"

He lifted his right foot and stomped down heavily; with a boom, a terrifying crack instantly appeared, spreading for a full ten meters around.

This one stomp completely intimidated this group of pirates.

Only then did Ye Ming turn around to check on the situation of Oscar and the others.

As for Zi Zhen Zhu? What she had just done to Ning Rongrong and the others had already left a grudge in the hearts of Oscar and his companions. Once Oscar and the others recovered, they would inevitably kill her to vent their anger.

After all, if Ye Ming hadn't arrived in time, the situation for Ning Rongrong and the others would have been hard to say.

Under these circumstances, both sides were already mortal enemies.

Yet this pirate captain actually said such things, severing his emotional ties with Oscar and the others, leaving a grudge between them.

Ye Ming had already done so much to maintain this relationship; how could he be so ignorant as to be swayed by mere female beauty?

Dai Mubai and the others saw this scene, and their hearts were also shocked.

They didn't expect that before they could even speak, Ye Ming would so decisively kill the pirate captain in an instant.

Oscar recovered his strength at this time, leaned against a pillar to stand up, and said to Ye Ming with a serious face: "Brother, thank you!"

Ye Ming took a piece of clothing from his Storage Space and handed it to him: "We are brothers, why say so much."

Oscar looked at him with burning eyes, his heart full of gratitude. At this moment, he truly acknowledged Ye Ming as a brother.

Beside them, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun also stood up shakily and, without a word, punched Ye Ming in the chest.

However, they were so weak now that the punch was soft and couldn't muster much force at all.

Regarding Ye Ming's actions, their hearts were also filled with gratitude.

If Ye Ming hadn't arrived in time, Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang would inevitably have suffered humiliation before them.

That would have been more painful than killing them.

Two days passed quickly, and the group had recuperated on the Zi Zhen Zhu Island, all having recovered to their peak state.

A large sea ship was sailing rapidly across the ocean, the mast erected on the hull carrying a huge purple sail.

This was the Zi Zhen Zhu Hao, extremely famous in these waters, the former flagship of Captain Zi Zhen Zhu of the Zi Zhen Zhu Pirate Group.

However, after Ye Ming killed Zi Zhen Zhu, he directly promoted their second-in-command, having him steer the Zi Zhen Zhu Hao to take everyone to Sea God Island.

Inside the cabin, Tang San, his face slightly pale, listened to everyone's account, his eyes full of complex emotions.

He looked at Ye Ming in front of him and murmured, "Brother, you saved me again."

"I really am..."

Ye Ming raised his hand to stop his words: "Brother San, we are brothers, why are you being so polite with me."

"If it were you, would you not have saved me?"

Hearing this, Tang San nodded heavily.

He said with lingering fear, "At the time, I couldn't care about so much; I only had one thought, which was to absorb the life force of that terrifying Soul Beast, thinking I could delay for a little more Time."

"To be honest, I also find it very surprising that I survived."

Ye Ming smiled: "Perhaps it was the Sea God's blessing!"

"The Sea God?" Tang San shook his head: "Perhaps."

He couldn't help but sigh: "This crisis actually allowed my soul power to increase by two levels, reaching the Sixty-eighth Level."

"But if I had a choice, I wouldn't want to experience such a terrifying thing again."

Ma Hongjun and the others also nodded repeatedly; the pressure brought by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Slaughter King was too powerful.

They were merely on the edge of the battlefield, yet the aftermath was enough to knock them unconscious, without even a chance to fight back.

That Tang San and Ye Ming could survive under those circumstances was perhaps indeed the Sea God's blessing! During these two days, Tang San had absorbed the soul power and life force he had taken through the Eight Spider Lances, increasing his soul power by two levels.

The other members of the Shrek Seven Devils, except for Xiao Wu, also had an increase of about half a level.

Ma Hongjun, under this pressure, even pushed to the Sixtieth Level of soul power; he only needed one Soul Ring to step into the Soul Emperor realm. He was also the last of the Seven Devils to enter the Soul Emperor realm.

As for Ye Ming, his Soul Spirit had been stuck at the bottleneck of the Seventieth Level; before obtaining a Soul Ring, there would be no changes.

Now that they were about to arrive at Sea God Island, the God-Bestowed Soul Ring he was thinking of was not far off! Over these past few days, through the pressure of the Slaughter King and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, although his Soul Spirit had not increased, his cultivation as a Gu Master had achieved a significant breakthrough.

In both apertures, his cultivation had already broken through to the Mid-tier of the Fourth Rank!

The True Essence stored within the 98% full True Essence Sea is sufficient to handle the vast majority of battles.

In fact, with the supply from the Four-Turn Heavenly Origin Treasure Monarch Lotus, Ye Ming has yet to experience a shortage of True Essence within his body.

"Thump, thump!"

Just then, the somewhat fawning voice of the pirate group's second-in-command sounded from outside the door, "Young masters, the meal has been prepared."

"I will bring it in for you."

After receiving permission, this current pirate captain walked in carrying a food box.

After placing the food box properly, he stood to one side and said respectfully, "Young masters, our ship is very fast; we will be able to reach Sea God Island in two days at most."

"However, young masters..."

He wore a troubled expression, "I am afraid I cannot truly take you to the island; I can only stop near Sea God Island, and then you will have to go over yourselves."

"Hmm?" Dai Mubai's tiger eyes widened, "Are you trying to escape?"

This new captain hurriedly waved his hands, "Young masters, the sea area near Sea God Island is guarded by many powerful Sea Soul Beasts; if the ship approaches, it will certainly be attacked."

"Moreover, Sea God Island is the faith of all sea folk, and I dare not offend the majesty of the Sea God."

A look of fear appeared on his face, "As far as this humble one knows, there are at least three Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in this entire sea area."

"There is one Ten-Thousand-Year Sea Soul Beast lurking around Sea God Island; it was once the mount of the Sea God, and its strength is second only to that overlord of the sea, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!"

The second-in-command's face was full of fear; it was only his faith and his terror of the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts that gave him the courage to explain these circumstances to these few gods of slaughter.

Ye Ming nodded at this, "Just take us near Sea God Island; as long as we can see Sea God Island, your task will be complete."

"From now on, the Zi Zhen Zhu Hao pirate group is yours."

A look of excitement appeared on the second-in-command's face, and he knelt directly on the ground, kowtowing sincerely several times.

"Many thanks, young master! Many thanks, young master!"

After doing all this, he carefully backed away, closed the door, and left.

Dai Mubai and the others felt this scene was only natural.

At the beginning, the core of the team was Tang San. Even though Ye Ming's strength was very high, they would still listen to Tang San's orders.

But after this incident, imperceptibly, Ye Ming had already taken the initiative in the team.

Even Tang San felt this point was a matter of course.

At this time, Ma Hongjun to the side impatiently opened the food box, and looking at the fragrant seafood inside, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

He looked at Ye Ming, "Little brother, shall we eat?"

Dai Mubai slapped Ma Hongjun on the head, "You dead fatty, aren't you afraid these pirates put poison in it?"

For the past two days, they had been eating the dry rations they brought in their Soul Guidance Devices. After all, Ye Ming had killed Zi Zhen Zhu, and there was no guarantee these pirates wouldn't hold a grudge.

Tang San leaned over at this moment, sniffed lightly, and then asserted, "There is no poison; it can be eaten."

There are very few people in this world who use poison, and a poison that could evade his perception has yet to appear.

On this point, even the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo could not do it.

"Eat with peace of mind, they wouldn't dare use poison," Ye Ming said with a faint smile, "Pirates are people, after all."

"What they pursue is nothing more than strength, status, and wealth."

"I killed Zi Zhen Zhu and let this second-in-command take over. He can control this pirate group of three thousand people and be a local Emperor; he should even be thanking me."

"In their eyes, Sea God Island is a sacred place; for land Soul Masters like us to go up there, there is almost no chance of survival."

"So that is why they are very happy to send us to Sea God Island."

Ye Ming shook his head, "They already consider us dead men, so why would they go to the trouble of doing anything extra?"

After these words were spoken, Dai Mubai and the others were all impressed, though they didn't fully understand why.

Only Oscar and Tang San looked at Ye Ming with a bit more deep thought in their eyes.

Ma Hongjun was already gnawing on a fish, and hearing this, he said directly: "Little brother, why don't we just 'crack' them and be done with it to prevent future trouble."

"It would also be considered ridding the people of a scourge!"

He put down the fish and made a throat-slitting gesture.

"We are about to land on Sea God Island, so we cannot create complications," Ye Ming stopped him:

"The Soul Masters on Sea God Island are xenophobic; if we do this, we might cause them to dislike us and create unnecessary trouble."

Everyone nodded in agreement; they were becoming more and more convinced by what Ye Ming said.

The next two days of the voyage were very smooth, and no accidents occurred.

Finally, the Zi Zhen Zhu Hao arrived outside Sea God Island.
