Chapter 756: Chapter 682

Phlegm arrived in an instant, and the pirates on the beach were all staring intently.

They were watching “Pale Abyss,” notorious for his high bounty, yet shrouded in mystique. Even the Black Skull, possessing several at the Unity Realm, should… somehow be able to force “Pale Abyss” to reveal some of his abilities, right?

To them, this information was exceedingly valuable!

Sigh.

When the phlegm soared in front of the robed figure, strands of black mist emerged around it, eroding tirelessly. In the blink of an eye, the phlegm disintegrated in mid-air, leaving no trace behind.

You could say it was quite environmentally friendly.

A flash of surprise crossed the gaunt, pale face beneath the hood of “Pale Abyss,” but it quickly settled back to calm.

He snapped his fingers.

Boom!

One of the robed figures suddenly shot upwards, and the ground within a hundred meters collapsed forcefully, as if a chunk of the beach had been hollowed out.

“Pale Abyss,” “Bone Blade” Avalle, and several other figures in robes floated silently mid-air.

The figure in the robe passed a kilometer in an instant, the robe unable to withstand the instantaneous acceleration and the air, which had become as solid as a blade.

Riiip—

Quality notwithstanding, the black robe disintegrated in the air until only a few tattered strips remained clinging to the figure.

Beneath the shredded robes was a hollow space!

But… there was no unspeakable image below the neck.

It was a humanoid creature nearly three meters tall, with bronze skin laid bare, and bulging muscles coiling on its arms like serpents.

Its face was also bronze-colored, without hair, the eyes holding a crimson hue that was difficult to look directly into.

Somewhat like a puppet, somewhat like a refined corpse, the Copper-armored man—if it must be presumed male—was a living being with its own aura. The aura he unleashed in full force sent pirates kilometers away retreating in fear.

Divine Domain Realm!

To think that any random individual by his side was a Divine Domain Realm master!

“Pale Abyss,” with a bounty of 24 million, had a face marked by intense solemnity. He counted himself among the leading pirates, holding his own against lesser, alternate General Level Pirates in combat.

He knew now that even the Copper-armored man was not inferior to him. As the leader of a large pirate group, he held many trump cards, which might give him a winning edge in a desperate fight to the death.

But… that was just one man within the Abyss Pirate Group!

An inconspicuous Copper-armored man, not even known enough to have a bounty!

It now seemed difficult to force “Pale Abyss” to reveal any of his abilities.

Lorraine was about to pull out a sniper rifle larger than herself to take a shot at the Copper-armored man, when Kong had already darted out.

Different from the Copper-armored man’s overwhelming aura like tempestuous waves, Kong moved silently. He was not an assassin, yet his mastery over strength had reached the utmost realm. Not even a single grain of sand was crushed under his foot. Only when Kong positioned himself in front of the Copper-armored man and slowly drew out his slender blade did the surrounding pirates realize what was happening, too late to react.

“Too, too fast!”

A spontaneous cry of awe had barely fallen when a silver sword light blossomed.

Clang—

Running and leaping like a heavy tank, the Copper-armored man was suddenly slammed down from several meters in the air. The soft sand spread out like waves, until it could no longer withstand the released energy. Boom after boom, numerous pillars of sand erupted, resembling the dust of an explosion, as the battlefield was shrouded by a mist of yellow sand with muffled roars echoing, and two figures chased each other within.

The chaser was the Copper-armored man, but… all the while, Kong was the one outmatching in output.

Clang clang clang clang clang clang—

The dazzling sword light flickered and vanished as the sand within thousands of meters erupted time after time, creating countless craters and ravines. The water from the endless sea had already begun pouring in.

A fierce exchange lasting mere seconds and those in the Stepping Void could no longer trace the two figures, only seeing continuous explosions of sand and hearing the changing locations of the “boom” and “clang” sounds.

Even those of the Unity Realm barely caught a glimpse, seeing nothing but momentary flashes of light within their field of view. If it were them, they definitely wouldn’t be able to react in time!

“‘Sword Hero”s speed is too exaggerated. Is he faster than the Divine Domain Realm? This doesn’t make sense!”

“Has the ‘Sword Hero’ of the Black Skull taken the upper hand? Can anyone clarify? It’s frustrating not to make out the details right now!”

“No, though ‘Sword Hero”s speed is superior, giving him the edge in battle, his attacks simply can’t penetrate the defense. On the other hand, the Copper-armored man is clearly a rough-skinned, immensely strong close-combat warrior. A single hit, and ‘Sword Hero’ is bound to take serious damage.”

Some pirates glanced towards “Pale Abyss” and his party in black robes, wondering if they would intervene.

The Copper-armored man had rather simplistic tactics, but both “Pale Abyss” and “Bone Blade” possessed numerous ways to restrain the “Sword Hero.”

Glancing towards the Black Skull Pirate Group, it seemed none were eager to step forward to help either.

It appeared that the Ship Captain’s “gunman” had propped up a massive firearm, resting and watching the scene quite leisurely.

Could Lorraine afford not to relax?

Kong was indeed fanatical about combat, and now he could sneakily slack off.

This was tax evasion!

The Copper-armored man, on the other hand, gave off an odd vibe compared to a normal Divine Domain Realm fighter.

His defensive capabilities were astonishing, and though Kong’s sword was plain and unremarkable, without any fancy or bizarre skills, it was truly a Third Tier Divine Weapon!

It possessed abilities such as Speed Boost, reducing air resistance against the body, and coupled with Kong’s Second Tier Divine Weapon cape, Third Tier inner armor, and Third Tier battle boots—this was the reason for Kong’s off-the-charts speed—even though Kong himself was titled as the epitome of the Second Tier in speed.

It was also incomparably sharp! After clashing with a Second Tier Divine Weapon a few dozen times, it could potentially cut the Divine Weapon in half!

When it struck the Copper-armored man, it couldn’t be said to leave him completely unharmed, managing to carve sword marks a few millimeters deep on his arm, the dispersing Sword Qi causing the sand behind the Copper-armored man to explode inch by inch.

Yet the Copper-armored man instantly recovered as if nothing had happened.

His speed was not much slower than Kong’s, and to any discerning eye, the probability of the Sword Hero being hit after a long time was not low. Still, this was unexpected to the surrounding pirates—should the rest of the Black Skulls not be weak—if they had even a third of the Sword Hero’s strength, escaping from the hands of the Pale Abyss might not be impossible.

Boom!

The Copper-armored man fiercely pounded the air, sending layers of ripples spreading out. He bellowed, his eyes blazing with scarlet light, his bronze skin cracking open to reveal streaks of light.

Boom!

With a stomp, the Copper-armored man stepped on air, a sonic boom cloud burst open, and his speed increased by several folds. In less than a millionth of a breath, he appeared in front of Kong.

He threw a punch!

Hidden beneath the hood, the Pale Abyss smirked coldly, ‘How could the War Corpses he created have any blatant flaws?’

And Kong, standing on the same straight line, a dozen or so kilometers away, watched the Copper-armored man’s momentum turn the faces of a group of pirates pale, taking them a good while to regain their composure.

At that moment,

Kong, as if he had foreseen it, sidestepped a few meters, and the fierce punch rushed past, brushing his cape and making it rustle.

He gripped another sword in his left hand.

The sword was named “Traceless.” This sword had no enhancements, but one special effect—Cutting.

Kong drew the Traceless Sword with his left hand, its sword light barely visible, and with a thought, threads of the Law’s Tao Rhythm infused into it.

He shook his head slightly in disappointment, “Too rigid, I set my expectations too high.”

His voice vanished like the wind, along with the Traceless Sword that had been sheathed again.

The Copper-armored man seemed unchanged, carried by inertia for a kilometer before turning around.

Crack—

He twisted his upper body as his lower half continued forward, crashing into the sand with a thud, then getting up and digging into the sand to chase after his distant lower body.

For a moment he couldn’t even catch up.

His breath had also significantly weakened.

Kong was disappointed again, “Not a standard Cultivation system, took the lesser path.”

A body cut by the Law of Cutting wasn’t something that could simply be pieced back together.

Kong pressed down on the brim of his hat, his gaze toward the Pale Abyss, bursting with eagerness for battle.

‘A bounty of 59 million, I hope you won’t disappoint me.’

Kong didn’t voice it aloud, but it seemed the words might be read from his eyes.

The Pale Abyss was furious, and bang bang, three more figures tore their black robes off—one more Copper-armored man who looked slightly different from the previous one.

There were also two creatures that looked like giant centipedes standing upright, except all their limbs were made of white bones.

Lorraine and the bamboo rat Li also took a few steps forward.

The terrifying clash of auras split the sky in two.

At this time,

The pirates who had been enjoying the spectacle suddenly realized—was it a standoff between the Black Skulls and the Abyss Pirate Group?

The Divine Domain Realm Copper-armored man was cut by the Sword Hero’s single strike?

This was a question because even the Unity Realm pirates present didn’t quite catch what happened. Only “Dark Language” saw that one slash, truly just one strike, but he did not speak.

The result was clear at a glance; the Copper-armored man’s upper body only just caught up with his lower half, as if it were throwing a tantrum.

The Sword Hero won, and won decisively.

This could possibly be the Combat Power of an Alternate General, right?!

The newcomer was fierce!
