Eps. 176 — Ice River
The Demon Skull pirate captain had never expected to be reunited with Jian Chen, he had already warned of becoming a petty villain like a river pirate but it turned out that fate would have another will.
The Demon Skull pirate captain was already relieved after surviving Jian Chen destroying his pride ship on the high seas.
Back then, after Jian Chen's ship moved away, he secretly took out a firework tube in his spatial ring before being blasted into the sky.
The fireworks were useful for summoning other members of the Demon Skull ship because from the beginning the pirate captain already had two ships.
The pirate captain was finally able to survive a few minutes later before his body became a fish meal. Its members left only a few as a result of Jian Chen had slammed it.
Meeting with Jian Chen was the biggest blow to the Pirate Captain, even though he had survived he still experienced a deep trauma especially he saw for himself how Jian Chen's cruelty slaughtered his members.
The young man killed people without the slightest hesitation, his gaze cold and showing no guilt. Someone who has this characteristic has been confirmed is a cold-blooded person.
"Reverse!" The pirate captain could not stand still even though fear began to enter his body. He ordered his members to move the ship away from Jian Chen's ship.
"But the captain, we haven't gotten paid from this ship yet?" chirp One of its members.
"You're deaf! Step back or I'll cut off your heads one-on-one!" Hardik captain pirate.
Seeing that his captain had suddenly become angry even as frightened, the pirate members did not dare to doubt his captain's orders or his affairs could be long.
The members of the pirates were indeed not all of them met with Jian Chen but the Pirate Captain was already, fighting the young man was no different from ushering in lives.
Jian Chen looked at their ships slowly drifting away with a small laugh, the former pirates seemed to already know the situation that was about to happen.
The owner of the ship seemed confused by the suddenly changing situation. Jian Chen then walked slowly then patted his shoulder.
"Did they always make a fuss like this?" Jian Chen asked the Ship Owner.
"Ah, Master Swordsman! Sorry in advance for the trip being a little interrupted..." The ship owner immediately saluted Jian Chen.
The owner of the ship did have more respect for Jian Chen since the previous fight, although the young man did not fight but seeing the five women with him respected him greatly showed that his strength could be above them.
"It's okay, so what group they're always interrupting your travels..."
The ship owner nodded before explaining about the pirates, they turned out to be a lot of action in the waterway a few days ago, had to pay a tariff that was clearly a wild levy.
If they do not pay, they will forcibly take the goods on the ship of his victims, in bad cases, there will be murder and kidnapping by them
Jian Chen sighed hearing that before turning his five twin girls, they seemed to understand what was happening and prepared to attack the pirates.
"Let me move, I'm guilty of letting them live and causing others to suffer..."
Without speaking any further, Jian Chen directly got off the ship after speaking so.
Jian Chen created ice chips to stand on the river, he saw the three pirate ships slowly drifting away with a sinister smile.
"Hm, I want to see how much power this element has in the water...." Jian Chen placed his palm on the river water before flowing a huge deep energy. Shortly after, Jian Chen's palm shone bluish.
"Elemental Ice — Eternal Ice Hell!"
The ship's owner, the five Lan brothers as well as the other passengers felt the chilling impact of Jian Chen's technique. Even the pirates from far away were not spared from the cold temperature.
Before they digested what was happening, quickly, the river below froze in a blink of an eye, making the ships stop moving including the pirate ship that had moved away.
"There's no way why it's freezing?!"
"Is this magic?"
The members of the pirates did not know that it was caused by Jian Chen, after all there was no swordsman that they had seen could act similarly.
The Jian Chen Technique was a high ice element technique and also came from a technique hundreds of years ago, in addition to requiring considerable internal energy, mastering it was also not an easy matter.
They wanted to lower the sail of his ship hoping that it could run faster, but let alone sail, moving the ship could not do it.
Jian Chen did not wait for long and ran to one of the pirate ships. Jian Chen's arrival made the pirate captain's knees go limp.
The pirates are silent. It was then that they realized the reason his captain had told him to turn around was because of Jian Chen. His captain was even like frightened just staring at the young man.
"Wait a minute, attack him together!" Tell the pirate captain.
The pirate members immediately took out their weapons, other than because of the command of the captain they did not like anyone to board his ship without permission.
These pirate members clearly still did not know Jian Chen's true strength, they assumed that number was the most unparalleled power in the martial world.
Jian Chen smiled faintly before taking a slow step and welcoming the attack of the pirates who had come in turn with his bare-handed science.
He uses a combination of punch and kick attacks that are in the power grid, each attack is very strong and enough to make his opponent's bones crack or break.
Jian Chen's complicated and unpredictable strength and technique made it difficult for his opponents to attack back. On the same side they were unable to dodge Jian Chen's attack that was aimed at his body.
Jian Chen continued moving forward and making his opponents flung out one by one, most of those who were hit by his attacks instantly lost consciousness and not a few immediately stopped breathing.
It didn't take long for Jian Chen to leave his opponents exposed, none of them had survived without sustaining a fracture.
Jian Chen finally stopped in front of the pirate captain while smiling widely.
"Don't beg me for anything, believe me I'm still killing you here!" Jian Chen shook his head slowly then turned to the pirate captain who was already kneeling helplessly. "Instead of you taking a lesson after surviving death you're still making another mistake..."
The pirate captain tried to say something. "I-I've changed, this time I don't kill people."
Jian Chen smiled mockingly. "You think I didn't hear your conversation just now, I can hear you've been after my girls..."
Jian Chen took out his Asura sword but did not directly slash at his opponent.
"Hm, this is a little interesting I think... You know, wherever I go I always run into this kind of group of yours. It's like fate put me to exterminate people like you!"
Jian Chen grinned widely, without speaking again he raised his sword before finishing off the pirate captain in a single slash.
