1688 Helou Liangyi, The One Who Complies To The Heaven’s Will, You Are Smart
“It seems like you people are not strong enough to defy Heaven. If so, be prepared to pay the price for trying,” Chu Kuangren said coldly.
Then, he swung another boundless sword qi at the three of them.
“Please hold, Heavenly Sword!”
A voice sounded, and a figure appeared before the three s.p.a.ce pirates. His hands swirled in a circular movement and formed a ma.s.sive Yin Yang symbol in front of him.
!!
When the Yin Yang symbol and the sword qi clashed, everything in the surrounding was struck by the impact.
The figure was blasted several meters back but was unscathed by Chu Kuangren’s sword qi.
“It’s you, Helou Liangyi!”
The Red Devil Pirate and the other two were surprised by the man’s arrival.
The man wore white robes and had a handsome face and the elegant composure of a scholar.
However, all three of the s.p.a.ce pirates dared not take him lightly. In fact, not only the three of them, but no one in the Thirty-Six s.p.a.ce Pirates dared to underestimate him.
He was a man they were all afraid of.
Helou Liangyi was one of the s.h.i.+nra Pirate’s right-hand men.
The s.h.i.+nra Pirate was the strongest among the Thirty-Six s.p.a.ce Pirates and also the minority that was outside of the Dao King Tribe’s control.
“Oh? You saved someone from Heaven’s might. I see you’re a capable man, but how many more slashes can you take?” Chu Kuangren said.
The sword aura grew stronger as he gripped the Void Sword tighter. At the same time, Lil Ai was a.n.a.lyzing the man.
The man was powerful, so much more powerful than the four s.p.a.ce pirates. However, Chu Kuangren could still stand a chance against him.
“I’ve experienced the Heavenly Sword’s power firsthand, and I’m impressed. However, I’m here not to be your opponent.” Helou Liangyi smiled.
He looked at Chu Kuangren politely, but a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. He had used eighty percent of his strength to block Chu Kuangren’s attack.
How could Chu Kuangren still possess that much power after fighting four of the s.p.a.ce pirates?
In Helou Liangyi’s opinion, Chu Kuangren might rival the top ten monsters on the Heavenly Leaderboard or even surpa.s.s them.
“You’re saving those who defied Heaven from Heaven, and you call yourself friendly?”
“We’re not here to defy you, Heavenly Sword. That’s why I’ve come with an offer to exchange for their lives. Please have a look.”
Helou Liangyi unveiled a scroll of a painting.
The painting showed a young man wielding a sword, and when the scroll was unveiled, a vast sword intent overflowed, shaking the universe.
The young man in the painting looked like he came alive.
“Oh? An interesting painting you got there.” Chu Kuangren grinned.
“This painting is the work of the late Sword G.o.d King, Chang Feng’zi. It contains his sword intent and sword technique. I wonder if it’s enough to interest you, Heavenly Sword,” Helou Liangyi said with a flattering smile.
Chang Feng’zi was the first Sword G.o.d King in the Central Heaven Universe. The painting that he painted, even though they did not contain any sword intent, would be worth a lot, and even more so when the painting contained his sword intent and sword techniques. One scroll of painting was enough to make half the universe fight for it.
“The painting is good, but there’s only one, so you can only take one away,” Chu Kuangren said.
Helou Liangyi’s brows furrowed. He did not expect Chu Kuangren to be that demanding, so he unveiled several other treasures and said, “If that’s the case, why don’t you choose some from the pile?”
“You’re smart to follow the will of the Heavens.” Chu Kuangren was not stingy with his praise for Helou Liangyi.
Helou Liangyi’s lips twitched a little as he was left speechless. If it were not for Chu Kuangren’s ridiculous power, Helou Liangyi would have beaten him up already.
“In that case, I’ll have these two.”
Chu Kuangren scanned the bunch and picked two seemingly useful treasures.
“Thank you for your mercy, Heavenly Sword,” Helou Liangyi said politely with a fist salute.
“The Heavens allow you to live, but they can also take back the life that is granted to you. Make use of it.”
Chu Kuangren glanced at the three s.p.a.ce pirates before returning to his wars.h.i.+p.
At the same time, he hurled the Void Sword into the air, and it automatically flew back to the sheath in Han Xingyu’s hands.
His lips’ curled into a grin. “The s.h.i.+nra Pirate? I wonder what surprises you have for the Heavens.”
He knew Helou Liangyi was acting under the order of the s.h.i.+nra Pirate, who was the strongest among the Thirty-Six s.p.a.ce Pirates.
The s.h.i.+nra Pirate must have authorized Helou Liangyi to exchange the treasures to save the other three s.p.a.ce pirates’ lives.
Chu Kuangren knew a thing or two about the conflict between the s.h.i.+nra Pirate and the Dao King Tribe.
Now that he had encountered Helou Liangyi, the s.h.i.+nra Pirate might be able to surprise him in the future.
After Chu Kuangre and Feng Qingxue left, Helou Liangyi turned to the three s.p.a.ce pirates.
With a smile, he said, “I’ll be honest. I saved you because my master told me to. He said that if you join us, you can live. If not, I’ll have to kill all of you here and then occupy your fleets.”
“The s.h.i.+nra Pirate is on the move already? Is he really going to fight the Dao King Tribe?” the Red Devil Pirate asked suspiciously.
The s.h.i.+nra Pirate and the Dao King Tribe had always been in conflict, and it was no secret.
However, the Dao King Tribe was an Ancient King Tribe with plentiful resources. It was difficult to imagine how the s.h.i.+nra Pirate, a common organization, would go up against the powerful Dao King Tribe.
“This is none of your concern. You just need to give me an answer,” Helou Liangyi said.
“We will join the s.h.i.+nra Pirate.”
The three s.p.a.ce pirates reluctantly submitted because they knew they were not Helou Liangyi’s match. To live, the only way was to submit.
“Very well.”
Helou Liangyi nodded. Then, he looked in the direction where Chu Kuangren left.
His eyes flickered. “What a powerful Heavenly Sword. Maybe he’s going to be our weapon against the Dao King Tribe in the future.”
In addition to that, the Spiritual Sword Tribe behind the Heavenly Sword would be a forces that could be roped in.
…
Back in Chu Kuangren’s wars.h.i.+p, he noticed Feng Qingxue was still following them.
“Why is she still here?”
“Heavenly Sword, she’s heading to the same destination.”
“Same destination? Where to?”
“The Galaxy G.o.d King Ancient Path. I believe you will be interested, so I took the liberty to change course.”
While Chu Kuangren was in closed-door meditation, Ling Fei took over the s.h.i.+p’s command and decided on the next destination since Chu Kuangren was not familiar with the Central Heaven Universe.
“It’s fine. Tell me what’s the Galaxy G.o.d King Ancient Path.”
With that, Ling Fei told Chu Kuangren about the opening of the Ancient Path.
“Interesting,” Chu Kuangren said with a nod.
Disregarding Feng Qingxue, Chu Kuangren gave a crystal and a sword to Han Xingyu and Ling Fei respectively.
They were the treasures that he got from Helou Liangyi earlier.
The crystal was a Frost-attribute treasure, a great item for Han Xingyu to continue her cultivation on the Frost Sword Physique.
Meanwhile, the sword was for Ling Fei. Although Ling Fei’s sword was already great, that new one was better and matched his cultivation style more. Once refined, he would be able to achieve greater combat power.
“Heavenly Sword, these are too precious for us to accept!”
“Yeah!”
Han Xingyu and Ling Fei were astonished by the treasures they received. They did not know Chu Kuangren was getting the treasures from Helou Lingyi for them.
“Take it. You two need to be stronger to be the Heavens’ followers,” said Chu Kuangren.
After that, he disappeared without giving them the chance to reject, leaving Han Xingyu and Ling Fei baffled but impressed.
As they looked at the treasures in their hands, their admiration and loyalty for Chu Kuangren grew.
“The Heavenly Sword is quite kind to his people,” Feng Qingxue muttered to herself.
She had seen many sky-prides and Prodigies who were arrogant and cold. They would either scold or beat their followers harshly, unlike Chu Kuangren who was more humane.
She could not believe that treasures, which even she was interested in, were given away to his followers just like that.
