Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 105 — One Eye Pirate
"Why are they here?!"
"Well, it's the One-Eye Pirate, we could die if we meet them!"
"One-Eye Pirate did you say?! Shit, I'm alive..."
The crew began to pull over to the side of the ship to see the pirates coming in front of their ship and were heading here, they were shocked and anxious when they recognized the group of pirates.
The ship Zhou Yuan was riding on immediately lowered its speed and even stopped on the spot. The owner of the ship whose driving part does not dare to move his ship further.
Zhou Yuan could also see the ships of the pirates, just south of which were 11 ships heading towards him at high speed.
One of the eleven ships had the same size as the ship he was on, if it could accommodate hundreds of people while the remaining 10 ships were medium-sized, enough to contain dozens of people on board.
Zhou Yuan knew the One-Eye Pirate from the criminal books he read, after all their group was one of the ten criminals who controlled the waters and belonged to a dangerous group.
The One-Eye Pirate possessed strength that offset or even slightly exceeded the Zhou Family, their Chief was a warrior figure who had reached the Intermediate Crystal Realm.
Zhou Yuan clenched his hands, not expecting such a group of level pirates to exist in these waters.
'Why are they here, aren't they afraid of the imperial government?!'
Zhou Yuan was confident that even though the One Eye pirates were a powerful group but it should be with their strength now, the One Eye Pirate had not dared to offend the Imperial Family yet.
If they were to act in the lane near the waters of the Capital then it was only a matter of time that the imperial government came and intervened to overcome them.
In the martial world usually the level of crime decreases if it is close to the capital or the center of government but otherwise if a place is very far from the capital then generally the more prone to crime it occurs.
The Black Eye pirates were too rash to act in the waters of the capital which incidentally was very close to the Imperial palace, the Moon Empire would definitely not stay idle and would hunt them down to the very end.
Not long after the bells of the ship were rung, Huang Li and Qiyao came out of her room and approached Zhou Yuan, they woke up to the noise of the crew.
"Brother Yuan, what happened?" Huang Li asked in an anxious tone.
"We have an uninvited guest." Zhou Yuan pointed at the One-Eye Robber ship that was blocking the way of his ship. "It looks like this trip isn't as quiet as you think..."
When Huang Li and Qiyao appeared, at the same time Xi Jinxue and his entourage came out of the ship to see what was happening.
Xi Jinxue was surprised by the different reasons when he saw Zhou Yuan as well as the young man who had the same expression when both of them looked.
"Miss Xi!"
"Brother Yuan, are you here too?!"
Zhou Yuan frowned for a moment before finally starting to understand that Xi Jinxue was the person who the Ship Owner intended to hire this ship.
"Miss Xi, we haven't seen each other in a long time but for now we don't have time to talk." Zhou Yuan turned to the pirate ship. "We have to deal with the front first."
Xi Jinxue nodded, now that the pirate ship was starting to approach towards them.
The actual owner of the ship wants to turn around but with the condition of the large ship will take a long time to be able to turn the bow.
The owner of the ship can only hope that the pirates did not do something to him or at least not to endanger lives but unfortunately the reason they are called pirates is because of the behavior of those who have killed many lives.
"Miss Xi, take cover behind us!" The twenty guards who were with Xi Jinxue immediately docked close to the girl and were ready to protect her from the rain of arrows.
Huang Li and Qiyao took out two of her short swords preparing to fend off the arrows while the rest of the crew began to frantically search for shelter.
Zhou Yuan was surprised, not expecting without further ado any of the pirates wanted to kill everyone on this ship.
Zhou Yuan clenched his teeth then jumped quite high before pulling his sword towards the arrow.
"Element Sword Technique — Wind Tone Sword Technique!"
In a single swing that was coated with a lot of power in, Zhou Yuan's sword created a great wind misfortune like a storm in the rain of arrows.
The wind chirp immediately deflected and destroyed all the arrows. It made the pirates both shocked and amazed at the technique Zhou Yuan had unleashed.
Not only were the pirates shocked but the people on board were just as shocked.
Huang Li and Qiyao did not expect Zhou Yuan to have such an impressive sword technique while Xi Jinxue could only be stunned to see it.
'This kid, he has a sword technique of this level...' Grandfather Bai who saw Zhou Yuan's action became amazed, he was the only person who did not panic at the pirates.
Zhou Yuan landed on the surface of the water, he intended to face the One-Eye Pirate alone because from Xi Jinxue and his bodyguards, their strength was still inadequate against his opponent.
The pirates immediately stopped their ship when they saw the power of Zhou Yuan and the action of the young man who could walk on the water, only those with high expertise could stand on the surface of the water.
"Brother Yuan, be careful, their Chairman is a swordsman who is in the Crystal Realm." Huang Li reminded.
Hung Li instantly figured out the strength of the pirate from the birds flying around him, said the girl, The chief of their pirates is an Intermediate-stage Crystal Realm swordsman.
Zhou Yuan nodded, he was sure the fight this time was not easy and even risked putting lives at risk.
Out of the 11 ships there was suddenly one person who jumped off the ship and walked on the water, Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes as that one person was the chairman that Huang Li was referring to.
The One-Eye Pirate Leader started doing something on the water like dancing, Zhou Yuan's eyes widened as slowly the water around the chairman started to float in the air before it gathered at one point.
The water collected in the air continues to grow until it becomes large until finally a giant water ball is formed.
Without further ado, the One-Eye Pirate Leader began to swing his hand, the giant water ball he gathered a moment ago started shooting towards Zhou Yuan Ship at high speed.
Zhou Yuan clucked softly, with such a big ball of water if it hit its target then the ship would capsize and disintegrate.
'I've heard that water will lose against a greater fire...'
Zhou Yuan gathered a large amount of profound energy in his mouth and then made a change in the type of fire element.
"Elemental Fire — Blowing Fireballs!"
From his mouth, Zhou Yuan created a fireball that was no less massive than that water ball.
The fireball Zhou Yuan made had such a high temperature of heat that when his nurse collided with his opponent's water ball, the collected water immediately evaporated and turned into thick smoke.
