1688 Helou Liangyi, The One Who Complies To The Heavenâs Will, You Are Smart
âIt seems like you people are not strong enough to defy Heaven. If so, be prepared to pay the price for trying,â Chu Kuangren said coldly.
Then, he swung another boundless sword qi at the three of them.
âPlease hold, Heavenly Sword!â
A voice sounded, and a figure appeared before the three space pirates. His hands swirled in a circular movement and formed a massive 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 Kuangrenâs sword qi.
âItâs you, Helou Liangyi!â
The Red Devil Pirate and the other two were surprised by the manâs arrival.
The man wore white robes and had a handsome face and the elegant composure of a scholar.
However, all three of the space pirates dared not take him lightly. In fact, not only the three of them, but no one in the Thirty-Six Space Pirates dared to underestimate him.
He was a man they were all afraid of.
Helou Liangyi was one of the Shinra Pirateâs right-hand men.
The Shinra Pirate was the strongest among the Thirty-Six Space Pirates and also the minority that was outside of the Dao King Tribeâs control.
âOh? You saved someone from Heavenâs might. I see youâre a capable man, but how many more slashes can you take?â Chu Kuangren said.
The sword aura grew stronger as he gripped the Void Sword tighter. At the same time, Lil Ai was analyzing the man.
The man was powerful, so much more powerful than the four space pirates. However, Chu Kuangren could still stand a chance against him.
âIâve experienced the Heavenly Swordâs power firsthand, and Iâm impressed. However, Iâm here not to be your opponent.â 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 Kuangrenâs attack.
How could Chu Kuangren still possess that much power after fighting four of the space pirates?
In Helou Liangyiâs opinion, Chu Kuangren might rival the top ten monsters on the Heavenly Leaderboard or even surpass them.
âYouâre saving those who defied Heaven from Heaven, and you call yourself friendly?â
âWeâre not here to defy you, Heavenly Sword. Thatâs why Iâve come with an offer to exchange for their lives. Please have a look.â
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.
âOh? An interesting painting you got there.â Chu Kuangren grinned.
âThis painting is the work of the late Sword God King, Chang Fengâzi. It contains his sword intent and sword technique. I wonder if itâs enough to interest you, Heavenly Sword,â Helou Liangyi said with a flattering smile.
Chang Fengâzi was the first Sword God 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.
âThe painting is good, but thereâs only one, so you can only take one away,â Chu Kuangren said.
Helou Liangyiâs brows furrowed. He did not expect Chu Kuangren to be that demanding, so he unveiled several other treasures and said, âIf thatâs the case, why donât you choose some from the pile?â
âYouâre smart to follow the will of the Heavens.â Chu Kuangren was not stingy with his praise for Helou Liangyi.
Helou Liangyiâs lips twitched a little as he was left speechless. If it were not for Chu Kuangrenâs ridiculous power, Helou Liangyi would have beaten him up already.
âIn that case, Iâll have these two.â
Chu Kuangren scanned the bunch and picked two seemingly useful treasures.
âThank you for your mercy, Heavenly Sword,â Helou Liangyi said politely with a fist salute.
âThe Heavens allow you to live, but they can also take back the life that is granted to you. Make use of it.â
Chu Kuangren glanced at the three space pirates before returning to his warship.
At the same time, he hurled the Void Sword into the air, and it automatically flew back to the sheath in Han Xingyuâs hands.
His lipsâ curled into a grin. âThe Shinra Pirate? I wonder what surprises you have for the Heavens.â
He knew Helou Liangyi was acting under the order of the Shinra Pirate, who was the strongest among the Thirty-Six Space Pirates.
The Shinra Pirate must have authorized Helou Liangyi to exchange the treasures to save the other three space piratesâ lives.
Chu Kuangren knew a thing or two about the conflict between the Shinra Pirate and the Dao King Tribe.
Now that he had encountered Helou Liangyi, the Shinra Pirate might be able to surprise him in the future.
After Chu Kuangre and Feng Qingxue left, Helou Liangyi turned to the three space pirates.
With a smile, he said, âIâll be honest. I saved you because my master told me to. He said that if you join us, you can live. If not, Iâll have to kill all of you here and then occupy your fleets.â
âThe Shinra Pirate is on the move already? Is he really going to fight the Dao King Tribe?â the Red Devil Pirate asked suspiciously.
The Shinra 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 Shinra Pirate, a common organization, would go up against the powerful Dao King Tribe.
âThis is none of your concern. You just need to give me an answer,â Helou Liangyi said.
âWe will join the Shinra Pirate.â
The three space pirates reluctantly submitted because they knew they were not Helou Liangyiâs match. To live, the only way was to submit.
âVery well.â
Helou Liangyi nodded. Then, he looked in the direction where Chu Kuangren left.
His eyes flickered. âWhat a powerful Heavenly Sword. Maybe heâs going to be our weapon against the Dao King Tribe in the future.â
In addition to that, the Spiritual Sword Tribe behind the Heavenly Sword would be a forces that could be roped in.
â¦
Back in Chu Kuangrenâs warship, he noticed Feng Qingxue was still following them.
âWhy is she still here?â
âHeavenly Sword, sheâs heading to the same destination.â
âSame destination? Where to?â
âThe Galaxy God King Ancient Path. I believe you will be interested, so I took the liberty to change course.â
While Chu Kuangren was in closed-door meditation, Ling Fei took over the shipâs command and decided on the next destination since Chu Kuangren was not familiar with the Central Heaven Universe.
âItâs fine. Tell me whatâs the Galaxy God King Ancient Path.â
With that, Ling Fei told Chu Kuangren about the opening of the Ancient Path.
âInteresting,â 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 Feiâs 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.
âHeavenly Sword, these are too precious for us to accept!â
âYeah!â
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.
âTake it. You two need to be stronger to be the Heavensâ followers,â 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.
âThe Heavenly Sword is quite kind to his people,â 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.
