Towards Eternity
Ch 579's. Pirate
On the outskirts of the Mainland region, there is an archipelago of dozens of small islands inhabited by dozens of pirates responsible for terror acts in the Mainland seas.
They were led by a very powerful pirate and made no one dare to mess with the pirates while in the territory of the Doulou Islands.
It was said that this pirate leader had been at the peak of the Soul Unification realm for a very long time and his strength almost matched that of a true Soul Ruler. Although it was just a rumor without proof, but the Four Great Clan Families no one chose to eradicate them and make this rumor sound even more real.
At the southern end of the Doulou Islands, there is an area of water where there are places that have shipwrecks in them. The wreckage has formed small evidences in the sea and some of them to get out of the water and make the ship sometimes shipwrecked because it hit the wrecks of this ship.
Right now, in the place of the wrecks, Po Tian's ship was sailing at a slightly fast fixed speed and ignoring all the wrecks below them. Their steamship was built of very strong metals on its outermost part, the wrecks of which were only slightly harder stones for him.
"Captain, we've entered a new area, should I reduce the speed of the ship?" Li asked from inside the control room at Weng Lou who was on board.
"No need, just keep going." Weng Lou answered calmly.
He saw some shipwrecks in front of them. Sometimes he saw some figures hiding among the carcasses and was watching their ships.
In addition to being used as a ship cemetery, this place is very strategic when used to ambush another ship. Shipwrecks that arise on the sea can be used as a hiding place by smaller ships and can even be used as a base for pirates waiting for prey.
"Listen well to my orders, no matter what happens, never leave the ship from now on. Until we get to the Mainland, and until I allow it, you guys should never get out, or even get off the ship, got it?!"
Weng Lou's tone seemed to change and became like a threat to the entire crew, that Du Zhe was currently training on the deck of the ship. He immediately tidied up his clothes and walked into the ship, as well as all the other crew members.
After a while, the entire deck of the ship became deserted. Only Weng Lou was left standing leisurely on deck smiling broadly at the four half-sized ships heading towards their ship.
***
The Four Brothers Pirates were a group of pirates led by four captains with four different ships. The four captains are siblings who have sailed and become famous pirates in the Doulou Islands.
They were always on the move with their four ships led by one captain each.
Just a moment ago, their scouts discovered a ship that was sailing in the burial area of the ship and looked very strange. The ship had no sails and was moving much faster than the average sailboat.
But no one was surprised by that. In the Mainland, ships pulled by sea beasts were commonplace, though, and usually those who wear this way come from a large group or come from one of the Great Clan Families in the Mainland.
After confirming that there was not a single flag of a large group or a Clan Family in the Mainland on the steamer of the Weng Lou group, he said, they also decided to immediately sail to the steamboat.
"First Brother! That ship really wasn't from any large group in the Mainland! We got a big catch!" One of the captains on the four ships who was a thin and frail man whose entire body smelled of alcohol spoke.
"Haha! True third sister! It's our lucky day! Looking at the ship's materials, it should have belonged to a fairly wealthy merchant! We can have fun tonight!" A captain on another ship exclaimed in delight.
He was a fairly large and muscular man with a beard and mustache that grew in an unkempt mess making himself look cruel and frightening. A scratch wound adorned his face in his left eye.
"Sister, our tracker did not find a single sea savage beast that was large enough to pull such a large ship! I have a slightly dubious feeling about this!" The other captain who was a woman who looked to be in her thirties spoke while staring at a plate in her hand. He wore an eye patch on his left eye.
"Ha! You're just a coward of my sister! Look at your twin brother! I'll take that ship with just my ship and crew! Is it okay First Brother?"
This time a captain who had the same face as the previous female captain spoke. He took out his sword and asked his First Brother, who was their leader among the four captains.
Their First Brother was silent for a moment while observing before then nodding. "Go! Bring us all that whole ship! Judging from the material, the ship must have a fairly expensive price at auction."
"Ready, Brother! Hey, you guys heard what my brother said, didn't you?! Quickly tighten the screen! Full speed!"
The ship's sail was towed, and the ship immediately sailed at a much faster speed than before. The crew exclaimed and laughed like a pirate.
When their ship was close to the steamer owned by Weng Lou, they could finally see the figure of Weng Lou who was standing quietly on the deck of the ship and smiled widely at all of them.
"A young man? Where are the other crew members? Don't tell me they've all gone into hiding or escaped from the ship?" ask the pirate captain who was right in front of the steamer Weng Lou.
He looked at Weng Lou in confusion. He quickly told his crew to throw hooks at Weng Lou's ship, and they began boarding Weng Lou's ship.
*bduk...* The pirates surrounded Weng Lou while taking up the weapons directed at him.
"Hey son, why are you alone? Where are the rest of the crew?" ask the pirate captain.
He stood right in front of Weng Lou and pointed his sword right at his neck. Weng Lou looked at him and only smiled mysteriously, which upset the captain. He touched his sword on Weng Lou's neck, and brought his face closer to Weng Lou.
"Hey, are you deaf? I'm asking you, where are the rest of the crew? If you don't open your mouth, I'll kill you. Just so you know, you're not the first young man to ever be in this position when dealing with me, so don't act up and answer my questions immediately" he threatened while speaking right in front of Weng Lou.
The foul smell from the captain's mouth could be clearly smelled by Weng Lou. The smell was so foul that it could make someone faint just from accidentally smelling it, but luckily Weng Lou was used to this kind of smell.
Calmly, Weng Lou fanned his face that was struck by the foul smell of the pirate captain's mouth. The captain wrinkled his face looking at Weng Lou's actions, the young man very clearly mocking him.
As he was about to slit his throat, one of his crew members immediately spoke and turned his attention.
"Captain! There's someone in the control room! I can't get in, he locked the door so tight!" exclaim the crew of that ship.
"uh? Just break the glass, you fool! That's just you're not a dick, you son of a bitch!"
"Su-It's Captain! But the glass was not scratched at all! Even after we hit with the help of Inner Energy and Qi though!"
"Haaa...You have no manners at all, you know? Get on someone else's boat and threaten the owner, then even try to break into it, ckckck...." Weng Lou shook his head. He slowly pushed the sword around his neck and walked past the pirates that surrounded him.
The pirates were astonished and confused by Weng Lou's calm demeanor. Just this time they saw the person the pirates attacked could still talk casually as if they were not a threat. If Weng Lou was not a strong Martial Practitioner, then he must have been a retarded idiot.
*ring.....*
"Further down the road, your head will be gone from its place."
One of the pirates who was a young man who looked the same age as Weng Lou pulled out a sword and placed it on Weng Lou's side neck from behind.
Weng Lou's footsteps stopped. He looked up and looked at the young man. His age should be around seven dozen, and the power he radiated around the Soul Cleansing realm of stages 4 and 5. To a pirate, he was arguably a powerful person. But not in Weng Lou's eyes.
"Do you know how to use a sword? From your horses, you don't seem to have enough martial arts to your level of strength. Did you eat martial arts drugs just to level up quickly?" weng Lou asked as he looked at the young man from top to bottom.
"You-you!"
"Stop!"
Just when the young man was about to swing his sword, his captain's hand had already stopped him first.
"You said you were the owner of this ship? Is that true?"
"Hm? Sure oes. I designed it and made it with my own hands. This ship can even withstand the attacks of sea savage beasts in the realm of Soul Unification," Weng Lou replied proudly.
Listening to Weng Lou's reply, the pirates immediately whispered to each other. Some believe there are also those who say Weng Lou is just bragging. But the expression of their captain seemed to believe Weng Lou's words, could be seen from his wide smile.
"Then do you want to give it to me? I promise to take care of her as best I can" she told Weng Lou.
"How much can you pay me?" ask Lou quickly.
"What about....your life?" The captain's smile widened and he licked his lips like a man staring at his prey.
"See, just tell me you're poor. Just wasting time. Quickly get off my ship, I don't want to do business with poor people like you."
Weng Lou chased away the pirates while swinging his hand, like he was repelling an insect that disturbed his sight.
Angry veils were seen on the faces of the pirates, including the captain who had held tightly to his sword. He gave the code to his subordinates and walked backwards.
"Stop him, then find a way to get inside the ship" the captain said.
"Good boss! Leave it to us!"
"Hehehe."
"Please don't die right away well, we want to have fun with you."
One by one the pirates walked closer to Weng Lou. The weapons in their hands were grasped and ready to attack Weng Lou at any time. Weng Lou's eyebrows shot up staring at all of them. He sighed and immediately stopped his finger.
His twin swords appeared on his left and right and floated in the air. Looking at the two swords, the pirates looked a little wary but kept on walking closer. Inner Energy as well as Qi started to flow on their weapons and bodies.
Weng Lou felt quite amazed at these pirates because they seemed to have been experts in combat, in contrast to the Imperial soldiers he had fought all along.
"I don't like to dirty my ship with blood, so I won't kill you on this ship" he said.
Finished he said that, Soul Power flowed out from within his body, and instantly enveloped everyone on the deck of the ship.
The pirate captain who was there was also shocked because of that, he immediately looked at Weng Lou with a horrified look because he only realized his prey was actually a Martial Practitioner in the realm of Soul Unification. But it is too late to regret. The next second after Weng Lou unleashed his Soul Power, the bodies of all the pirates were immediately floated and moved by Weng Lou back to their ships.
"Well, now I say goodbye."
Finished saying that, both of his swords started flying at high speed and attacked the pirates brutally. One strike from his sword will take away one pirate's life. It didn't take long, all the pirates including the captain had died and left their ship sailed because it was deserted with no crew left.
A few dozen meters away, the other three pirate ships looked patiently at the two ships in silence. The three pirate captains of each ship stared seriously at the ship while staring at each other. They felt something bad had happened.
"Fourth Brother has been gone for too long, their voices have not been heard at all either. I'm afraid something has happened on that ship" said the captain, who is the twin sister of the captain, who was killed by Weng Lou.
"I agree with you Third Sister, there is something strange about the disappearance of their voices" said the Captain who is the oldest brother.
"Command everything to lower the screen, we have to see what really happens. Fourth Sister isn't usually this long." This time the second brother spoke. Although like a heavy drunk, it turns out the contents of his head are still there.
All three ships sailed down and their ships approached.
It didn't take long for the three to reach both ships. But their faces soon became gloomy when they saw what was happening on their sister's boat. The entire crew of the ship has now died horribly. Blood decorated the entire deck of the ship, and the corpses of the pirates looked desperate with eyes still open.
"Sister.....Fourth Sister!!!!"
The captain who was the eldest brother exclaimed in shock at the sight of his fourth brother who was in a dead condition and his corpse hanging in the net of the outskirts of the ship. It seemed like he was about to escape when he was killed without even having time to do so.
