The needle sharp light landed on Tang Tian"s forehead.
Tang Tian suddenly laughed. This laugh, to Xie Fei, was extremely bizarre. Xie Fei"s heart jumped, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, and looked at Meng Nan, he was incredibly brave and fierce, if not, how could he reveal such a bizarre laugh?
The slender light bore its way into Tang Tian"s forehead.
Xie Fei"s heart sunk, but she did not feel a bit of joy, she did not feel anything from the small ray of light. This made her feel extremely uncomfortable, but her [Light Obliteration] had never missed, could it be her own imagination?"
In the Honorable Martial Continent, [Light Obliteration] was an extremely powerful spirit technique, it referenced Heaven"s Road"s spirit techniques, but it was greatly strengthened.
Wait a minute!
From the corner of her eyes, Xie Fei seemed to saw something that flashed past, her body froze, that was….
Tang Tian"s figure suddenly appeared at the right of her.
~Blink!~
~Blink, Meng Nan is…..~
Xie Fei panicked, Blink was a type of spirit technique, and the only place that would have it in Sacred Saint Galaxy was the Honorable Martial Continent. ~Meng Nan is definitely not from Honorable Martial Continent, that means he comes from Heaven"s Road! Because Honorable Martial Continent"s Blink also came from there!~
Meng Nan came from Heaven"s Road, that made her panic.
~But, Meng Nan doesn"t even have a bit of energy undulation from him, how can he use spirit techniques?
She then noticed that on Meng Nan"s shoulder, unknowingly had a childlike spirit Dyad. It was dressed in blue clothes, and with an expressionless face that resembled Meng Nan, it was extremely adorable. But it was just that the adorable face that made people want to pinch it was expressionless.
~I never thought that upon waking up, It will be like this….~
~This idiot truly knows how to mess things up….~
~Such an eyesore!~
Little Fool stared at the lady in front of him, she was emitting a loathsome qi.
~The darkness naturally dislikes the light…..~
~The blood stench pervading in the air, comes from this idiot, I never thought that Xie Fei would be able to force Tang Tian to this extent.~ Little Fool was secretly surprised. But after the surprise, he was filled with a dense killing aura.
~If the idiot dies, then I die too.~
He remained expressionless, doing hand seals, he then drew an arc in the sky.
Countless light rays lit up around him and crossed each other, forming a horizontal chessboard, with Little Fool at the center, it started to expand outwards.
[Graceful Sword]!
Xie Fei sensed danger, and the light ball in her hands immediately shot out a ray of light towards Little Fool.
Little Fool"s body flickered, and he disappeared, causing the ray of light to miss. Little Fool appeared in one of the corner of the chessboard without any signs, his right palm grabbing into the air, zzzzi zzzzi zzzzi, sparks were conjured, and the black saint sword Ocean Prison was drawn from the void, the Void Dark Flames flickered in and out. Little Fool turned his hand and stabbed Ocean Prison into the chessboard.
Upon entering the chessboard, the light rays trembled.
Wooosh!
The black Void Dark Flames swam like black wriggling snakes, all across the lines of the chessboard. If one looked carefully, one would realize that along the sides of the Void Dark Flames was a translucent flame that enveloped the Void Dark Flames, that flame was the Spirit Devouring Flame.
The light rays of the chessboard formed a large net.
Xie Fei"s expression finally changed, the intense sense of danger flooded her mind. It was the first time she had such a sensation, and without hesitation she turned and escaped.
She threw the light ball towards Little Fool and ran.
Little Fool"s face changed, the light ball acc.u.mulated a terrifying amount of energy. He took out a bead in his other hand, it was the Forceful Subjugating Bead!
With his pure white hands holding onto the Forceful Subjugating Bead, he looked like he was playing with a chess piece. He dropped it.
The moment the Forceful Subjugating Bead touched the chessboard, the flames of the entire chessboard appeared to stop. But in the next moment, the flames roared. It seemed as though the chessboard came alive, layered with a bizarre energy.
Wooosh!
The chessboard rose up from its horizontal position, and like a fire net, it pounced towards the ball of light.
The fire net was extremely nimble, upon touching the ball of light, it started to wrap around it tightly.
Xie Fei who turned tail and sprinted away was actually pleased when she saw that, and roared: "Explode!"
The light inside the fire net jumped, but the fire net"s light aura was too strong, and held the light ball in place.
Xie Fei was shocked, the last bit of happiness dissipated, she did not care about the enemies behind her any longer, and sprinted away at full speed.
Suddenly, a bloodied figure appeared in her vision.
Tang Tian sneered, and revealed his snow white teeth: "I was waiting for you!"
One punch.
It was plain and crude, without any fancy movements, just one punch, a fundamental fist technique.
Xie Fei was horrified, all the energy in the air was shaken by the punch.
~Law!~
~This punch contains the power of laws….
Tang Tian"s fist lit up with an indistinct light aura, it was a light aura that was different from energy combustion, every part of it was throbbing, and the energy around them in the air was throbbing along.
The indistinct fist aura shot out, without leaving any scars of light in the air, but suddenly appeared in front of Xie Fei, and entered her body.
Xie Fei who was moving quickly seemed to be struck by some voodoo spell and was stuck in the same spot.
She widened her eyes, she could not move or do anything.
Little Fool stared at Tang Tian blankly, he could not believe his eyes. When Tang Tian released the punch, the Forceful Subjugating Bead suddenly lit up. Laws, Tang Tian"s fists actually contained the power of laws!
What shocked Little Fool even further was that he could not make out what kind of law it was!
The Forceful Subjugating Bead had a vast sea of laws, and Little Fool had immersed himself in it day and night, and had developed a profound understanding on all sorts of laws. But he was unable to make out what kind of laws was imbued in Tang Tian"s punch.
~Fundamental martial techniques can actually be enlightened to the point of touching upon laws….~
Little Fool felt that all of his knowledge and experience were being toppled upside down, his mouth formed a bitter smile. ~What kind of freak is this idiot truly, to actually enlighten on laws based on his fundamental martial techniques.~
~I am still looking down on him….~
Little Fool"s mind was in a mess. The two of them were one body and were inseparable, but Little Fool never saw any good in Tang Tian, although he would occasionally admire his bravery and perseverance, but in terms of talent, Little Fool always thought that he was still stronger.
But…..
~This idiot is a freak that actually enlightened on laws through fundamental martial techniques, and laws that I do not know about!~
And, although it was for a short moment, but Little Fool knew that this unknown law was definitely not a law grade law!
Tang Tian"s body flickered, and he started to sway as if on the verge of collapse.
He was completely covered in blood, looking extremely terrifying.
Little Fool stopped himself from being shocked and frowned: "What"re you doing?"
"Fighting." Tang Tian swayed towards the warship.
Little Fool sneered: "You"re injured to this extent, and you want to continue fighting?"
Tang Tian did not even turn back: "I still have strength."
Little Fool waved his hand, and the ball of energy that was wrapped in the fire net flew into his hand. Xie Fei had lost control of the energy, and it was thus congealed into a fist size white crystal.
"Don"t give other people trouble." Little Fool said blatantly and coldly: "What you need to do now is recuperate."
"I still have strength." Tang Tian turned his face and stared fiercely at Little Fool.
With that, he turned back and headed towards the warship, leaving behind bloodied footprints. He clenched his fists, allowing the blood to continue flowing, the fire in his chest was still burning, still calling out for him.
~The split second in front of death and failure, that unprecedented feeling of being defeated, that unprecedented feeling of despair…..~
~NO~
~No way!~
~What can injuries amount to? What can fatigue amount to? What can pain amount to?~
In that moment, he had a great enlightenment.
~In the face of true despair is where you don"t even have the chance to fight when you wish to, when you don"t even have to chance to risk your life when you want to!~
~You"re injured and tired, so in pain that you don"t want to live, but you are still alive, still breathing, still imagining, still calling out, you hold the most precious things that all the dead people and all the dying people want, chance, the chance to fight!~
~No matter how badly worn out you are, at least you can still fight.~
~Maybe you will die tomorrow, and all your dreams and goals will completely die in the flames of death.~
~For what reason should you not fight? Because of all the lame excuses, all the lame remorse?~
~No, you, young lad, wants to fight, only knows how to fight, and will fight to your last breath.~
~The last breath of yours, must have the taste of smoke, the taste of dreams, the taste of greatness!~
Tang Tian"s unbending bloodied figure staggered towards the warship.
~Heh, G.o.dlike young lad, go go go!~
He Ying"s roar seemed to have covered the sky and clouds, resonating across the entire sky.
"Kill them!"
"Leave no one alive!!"
"I want their bones to turn into ashes!"
"I want them to die without proper burials! HAHAHA!"
The sky full of light, the frigate"s rumbles sounded like the cry of birds. Gold Street was filled with a myriad of unstable light barriers. Although they were created with a huge amount of wealth, but their initial construction were never for wars.
Boom, one of the shop"s light barrier was finally destroyed, a light grenade shot into it like a shooting star, the intense explosion razed the entire shop.
This caused the 2nd Army to boom with thunderous cheers, boosting their morale. They frantically activated all of their energy, focusing all of their attacks down on the formerly flourishing land.
"Master, if we do not attack soon…" The adjutant was extremely agitated.
"Wait for a bit more!" Xie Yu An said sternly.
"Master…." The adjutant was about to cry, the soldiers inside the shop were all buried alive. He had brought out all the soldiers of Swift Army. He was responsible for their daily lives, and had thus formed close relationship with all of them, seeing the tragic sight made his eyes bawl.
"Wait for a while more!" Xie Yu An"s tone was as hard as steel.
The adjutant was stunned.
"Tell everyone to wait for my orders, and when they attack, do not hold back!"
Xie Yu An spoke softly, as though his throat was lost.
The adjutant clenched his teeth: "Yes!"
He quickly turned and flew off.
He did not notice that Xie Yu An"s fists were clenched so tightly that they were white.
His gaze never left the silhouettes in the sky, he stared straight at the enemies, calculating the distance. Tang Chou stood by his side without saying a word like a puppet.
The earth shattering attacks launched by the enemies seemed to have no end as they lit up the entire night sky of White Sands City.
Chapter 641 – Shi Sen"s Movements

"The path towards the White Sands Continent has been locked down." The businessman who spoke had a worried look on his face: "I do not know where did that big group of pirates came from, but the entire vicinity of White Sands Continent is filled with pirates. There are already a few caravans that have been destroyed, so listen to my words of advise, do not go near the White Sands for now, wait until this blows over. Sigh, business will be bad this year."
Seeing that the other party did not have any interesting things to say, Shi Sen excused himself.
"Boss, what do we do now? Should we change our path to Shang Continent…."
Shi Sen"s face was gloomy, he never thought that the path back to the White Sands Continent would be sealed. He had filled up his ranks of Underworld Continent"s Demonic Mounts, and excitedly wanted to return to White Sands Continent, but he did not expect the path ahead to be locked down, and many business caravans were also stopped.
"What do we do at the Shang Continent?" Shi Sen said unhappily: "Master and the rest are definitely still in the White Sands Continent, you want me to sit by the sidelines and ignore Master?"
He muttered to himself: "What exactly is going on at the White Sands Continent?"
Shi Sen was a veteran with plenty of experience, for such a large scale gathering of pirates was definitely done by someone pulling the strings. If not there was some attractive prize for the pirates at the other side.
Everyone looked at Shi Sen, waiting for him to decide.
"We have to go back to Master!" Shi Sen said: "Master is waiting for us now, if Master is trapped in a dangerous situation now, and we avoid the problem by walking away, we should just kill ourselves!"
"Boss is right!"
"That"s right! This life is for Master!"
The veterans beside Shi Sen all shouted as well, while all the newly recruited Demonic Mounts looked at each other. If not for Shi Sen"s reputation, they would have all left.
Shi Sen stared at the newcomers, and spoke: "All of you are clearer than me on how the reputation of us Underworld Continent"s Demonic Mounts are. In the past few years, who has looked at you as an equal? Now, this is a G.o.d sent chance for us to redeem ourselves, to give the Underworld Continent"s Demonic Mounts a chance to correct its name. I think that all of you have suffered the humiliation long enough."
One of the young man bowed earnestly, and said: "Boss, tell me what to do! I have come out this time with no intention of coming back alive. We will never smear the name of the Underworld Continent"s Demonic Mounts."
This man was called Huo Qing, and was the strongest out of the newcomers, and was the strongest Underworld Continent"s Demonic Mounts of the past few years, and had the highest prestige out of the newcomers.
Shi Sen also admired Huo Qing, as the Underworld Continent"s Demonic Mounts had finally produced a genius.
"Then, tell me about your thoughts?" Shi Sen said.
"We need some equipment." Huo Qing remained calm: "This way, we have the ability to preserve our lives."
"Right, I still have money on hand, and can buy some equipment." Shi Sen nodded his head.
Huo Qing unexpectedly shook his head: "Maybe it"ll be better to s.n.a.t.c.h them."
"s.n.a.t.c.h?" Shi Sen frowned, he hated banditry and repulsed bandits, hearing what Huo Qing say, he became unhappy, ~Have the new Underworld Continent"s Demonic Mounts fallen to such a state?"
"This subordinate does not covet all these small things." Huo Qing immediately explained: "If we can rob or s.n.a.t.c.h a few equipment, this way, we can pa.s.s ourselves off as pirates. We can then borrow the cover of our opponents and go closer to the White Sands Continent."
Shi Sen"s frown started to ease up.
Huo Qing continued: "There are many pirates in the White Sands Continent, I believe there are definitely those small time pirates trying to mix in. And there is someone pulling the strings from the shadows, but there are so many pirates that between them, no one would recognize each other. Pirates are usually compet.i.tive, even though they have agreements, but as long as the opportunity opens up to them, they will never let it go. I think that the area around the White Sands City now is a mess. To us, that is a good opportunity!"
"Well thought." Shi Sen nodded his head, then said: "We will do just that!"
One day later.
A somewhat dilapidated frigate appeared in the sea of energy. In the night before, Shi Sen and the rest suddenly snuck onto an anch.o.r.ed frigate, and seized it for themselves. This frigate belonged to a trading group, and was part of the protection frigates.
There were some accidents during the seizing, and both sides erupted into an intense battle.
In the end, Shi Sen and his men managed to seize the frigate without any mishap, but the frigate had suffered from damage, and thus looked to be dilapidated. But luckily, there were many supplies on the frigate. With a large quant.i.ty of equipment, although they were only ordinary supplies, but it was enough to equip them.
Compared to that, the escape was even more thrilling.
Their attack had caused too loud of a movement, and thus seven to eight other frigates chased after them, if not for Shi Sen"s experience, and their use of the complicated terrain of the Sea of Energy they would not have been able to break away from the pursuers, they would had sunk inside the Sea of Energy.
But through the battle, Shi Sen was convinced of Huo Qing"s proud and arrogant nature. Although Huo Qing and the other"s were not weak, they had zero experience in battles, they were extremely new amateurs, something that Shi Sen and all the other old timers were shocked with.
Shi Sen used the time to train them.
New soldiers could not be trusted in wars, but these newcomers" training was tough enough, asnd soldiers who had earned the real name of Underworld Continent"s Demonic Mounts, all of their individual abilities did not have any doubts.
As long as they went through a few battles and saw blood, these adequately strong amateurs would quickly become qualified soldiers.
As for outstanding soldiers, they would require even more time and fights.
The chaotic Sea of Energy was a perfect training grounds. There were pirates everywhere, and occasionally they would encounter danger.
Three frigates ahead rushed towards them.
The three frigates were pirates, definitely small time pirates, but a small fish would consume shrimps, seeing the lone frigate, the pirates immediately became greedy.
Three against one, no matter how they saw it, they held the advantage.
Seeing the incoming pirates, Shi Sen sneered, he ignored Huo Qing who was beside him being extremely eager, and turned the frigate to escape.
After fleeing, he successfully created distance between them and the enemy, and immediately ordered the frigate to rush towards the closest frigate.
The battle after that had no suspense.
Although Huo Qing and the newcomers were initially rather panicky, but under Shi Sen"s leadership, they started to become more adept. Weak fights were the best opportunity to train amateurs.
After overcoming the initial mental barrier, the newcomers started to become better.
Defeating two frigates, the remaining frigate saw that the situation had turned, and immediately turned tail and ran. Shi Sen did not give the order to chase, but instead kept the loot, the pirates had far better equipment.
They advanced on a route of ma.s.sacre, whichever small pirates they met, they rushed at them, upon seeing a large group of pirates, they would slip away. As they were only one frigate, all the large groups of pirates did not even have the interest to attack them. A large fish would eat smaller fishes, but shrimps were unable to entice them.
Along the route of murder, it allowed the new Demonic Mounts to become more experienced. They started to understand how to use their strength, learning how to coordinate with each other, and how to use whatever they had trained in.
Their battle achievements were rather pleasing, along with their spoils of war., Unknowingly, they had replaced their bird guns with cannons, their equipment became stronger and better. Compared to the small scale pirates, their equipment were of the elite grade.
Shi Sen was extremely smooth like a loach, he slipped through the cracks of the pirates quietly and continued to advance.
As they got closer and closer to the White Sands Continent, Shi Sen became more cautious, as he could sense that the security had become even more stringent. Shi Sen had reaffirmed his suspicion that there were some agreement between the pirates.
There were many large pirate groups, all of their positions were rather set, they did not loiter elsewhere. He realised that every pirate group had their own area to guard and defend.
It was as though they had completely locked down the White Sands Continent.
No army could break through this pirate defense.
SHhi Sen was secretly surprised, what kind of person would have so much money to control so many pirates. All of the pirate groups responsible for the inner circle, all of them were famous large pirate groups, all of them with famous people.
To able to gather such forces, the person behind the scenes must be terrifying!
But Shi Sen was efficient, even though the security was tight, but that was for all the larger scale armies, and thus there were still a few loopholes. Shi Sen went to the outer circle and killed another group of small group of pirates, and then chose an extremely ordinary looking small size frigate.
This small size frigate could only sit 40 men.
But Shi Sen had squeezed everyone inside, causing the small size frigate to be packed. Shi Sen then controlled the small size frigate and quietly slipped into the inner circle.
At this point, Huo Qing and the rest then realised that Shi Sen was actually very intelligent!
Shi Sen was able to sense enemy"s presence from afar, and then when they had not found them out yet, he would hide. The Sea of Energy seemed to be his home, all of the dangerous vortices, chaotic flows, regiment of energy all became his best protection.
Once, they hide under a gigantic energy vortex, causing everyone to be extremely alarmed.
The energy vortex above them released an extremely bone chilling scream, causing the hairs on their bodies to erect. A big frigate would hide from such a vortex, needless to say a small size frigate, for fear of being sucked in.
But Shi Sen could actually find a calm location right under the torrential energy vortex.
After travelling over 10 li under the gigantic energy vortex, Shi Sen became calm again and started to eat and joke. This atmosphere made Huo Qing and the rest completely convinced of his methods. Shi Sen"s talent was not only limited to that, he allowed Huo Qing and the rest to watch and learn how the patrol ships move and taught them to plan against the patrols.
They astonishingly got through the enemy"s patrol lines, and Huo Qing and the other newcomers immediately viewed Shi Sen as a G.o.d.
But occasionally when they spoke about Master Bing, they would see that Master Shi Sen"s face would be filled with revere, if even the senior would respect that person so much, Huo Qing and the rest were extremely curious about Master Bing.
To them, Master Shi Sen was already so powerful, if Master Bing was even more powerful than Master Shi Sen, then how powerful was Master Bing?
A famed grade general?
~We can"t wait to see him!~
Under Shi Sen"s leadership, the seemingly ordinary little frigate finally went through the different layers of defense and reached the White Sands Continent.
