Chapter 2453 - The Unparalleled Freedom

At this moment, the leadership of the other twenty-eight pirate gangs apart from the Big Bai Pirate Gang were partying together.

Many of them were stoned. Even those who were not drunk were also blushing and staggering; their basic wariness gone. They did not realize at all that the members of the Big Bai Pirate Gang were fewer and fewer.

From the hundred docks and ports around the Blue Sky Market, the starships, which belonged to the Big Bai Pirate Gang and which seemed to be in dire need of maintenance due to the fierce battle just now, turned their turrets in silence and aimed the powerful cannons at the other pirate heads as well as the soldiers of Li Wuji’s fleet.

“Huh. Where… Where are the people of the Big Bai Pirate Gang?”

However inert they were, when the warriors of the Big Bai Pirate Gang gradually disappeared, leaving only the flag of a white mouse that was shaking its bottom, a lot of space pirates could still realize that something wasn’t right.

Looking at each other in bewilderment, they all felt sharp icy cones stinging their spines.

The liquor that they just poured in all turned into cold sweat, leaking out of the pores all over their bodies.

“Not good!”

Finally, some of the experienced pirates exclaimed desperately, “We’re tricked! Disperse now!”

It was a shame that they were exactly like Li Yuanzhen just now, and it was too late when they realized they were tricked.

At this moment, beyond the manmade atmosphere above the Blue Sky Market and in the deep space, twisted waves were spreading out as the starships ripped each other apart.

In the bleeding space, Li Wuji’s fleet suffered the critical strike from “Fist King” Lei Zonglie, and the first miserable firewall just burst out.

At the central square in the Blue Sky Market, destructive explosions broke out among the atrocious space pirates too.

The first explosions did not come from the giant cannons on the docks and ports, but from the wine buckets everywhere around them.

Most of the wine buckets had a hidden layer at the bottom where crystal bombs were hidden. Just now, when the soldiers of the Big Bai Pirate Gang carried those “powder keg” right before their eyes openly, nobody noticed anything wrong.

Some of the larger buckets that were delivered in the last few rounds only had the deep red wine on the top layer, and the main body of the buckets was entirely filled with crystal bombs. After chugging three buckets of wine liquor with Boss Bai in the beginning, nobody was interested in the hard liquor anymore, and none of them ever tried to tear apart the wine buckets and see what was inside.

All the buckets were rolling around the party randomly. Some were even used by the space pirates as tables or chairs. Who could’ve thought that those buckets were actually life-enders?

At this moment, when all the wine buckets exploded at the same time, it was like ten thousand fireballs had crawled out of the ground, swallowing all the pirate heads!

The first crystal bombs that had been detonated were mainly in two types. The first type was naturally the explosive bombs and incendiary bombs with a high damage. However, the more sordid ones were the interferential bombs that boasted extremely powerful sabotaging abilities. Once they were detonated, they could unfold an extremely violent, chaotic magnetic field in the space nearby, preventing most magical equipment, particularly the space magical equipment, from functioning. To be more specific, they could temporarily block the release and retrieval of the Cosmos Rings!

Of course, many advanced Cosmos Rings with powerful performances could still operate steadily without being affected.

But such advanced goods were clearly not something that those pirates could afford.

Having come here for a celebration dinner, the pirate heads naturally had no reason to be fully-armed. They had hidden all their crystal suits and attack magical equipment in the relatively common Cosmos Rings.

The batch of interferential bombs that Boss Bai had arranged paralyzed their Cosmos Rings for one to three minutes.

It was a fatal delay!

Many pirate heads were blown apart in the first second, their limbs flying everywhere in the midair and burnt into ashes in the furious flames.

Most pirate heads were already sozzled, and the circulation of spiritual energy was extremely slow. It was already remarkable if they still had half of their combat ability left. How could they resist such overwhelming flames?

What was even more dreadful was that ominous thunders echoed from the sky before they put out the fire on them. The warships of the Big Bai Pirate Gang docked at the periphery of the Blue Sky Market had insanely aimed all their cannons at the central square of the Blue Sky Market, launching a merciless blanket bombardment again and again.

The common cannons on the regular warships could easily have a caliber of half a meter to one meter. The advanced cannons were even more astonishing.

When tens of thousands of tons of bombs fell on the top of the many space pirates like a storm, their power was beyond imagination. It was an out-and-out cataclysm.

They might have been melted into garbage even if they were wearing crystal suits, not to mention that they had no chance to retrieve their crystal suits at all and could only resist it with their bodies of flesh and blood and the unsteady spiritual shields that were condensed in a haste. It was simply irresistible!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Big Bai Pirate Gang let out a firepower that was fiercer than in any battle they had before. One couldn’t help but worry that the whole Blue Sky Market would be destroyed in the barrages.

After several rounds of bombardments, the ground of the central square was lowered by half a meter. There were no traces of the past left at all, and the only things that could be found were the overlapping craters.

“Ahhh… Ahhh… Ahhh…”

Many “things” that did not look like humans at all were writhing in fire among the craters, letting out screams from the surging smoke.

Huala! Huala! Huala!

From the depths of the smoke, the sounds of clattering crystal suits came over, like the laughter of the god of death.

With a smile of iron and blood, Boss Bai gradually emerged from the smoke.

His left hand was placed on his back, and he was holding a cup of iced oolong tea in his right hand. He moved in the middle of fire and smoked with a pair of blue-and-white slippers as if he were taking a walk in the gentle breeze after enjoying a delicious lunch. He couldn’t have looked more easy and comfortable.

“Boss Bai! Boss Bai!”

In the central square that had almost been melted into a pool of magma, several space pirates in ragged clothes with a blackened skin, whose nerves had been ripped apart by the blasts, staggered at Boss Bai like ghosts seeking their revenge.

Boss Bai did not even bother to look at them. Airwaves that were even more violent than the blasts of the barraging cannons surged out of his body, as if an invisible god of slaughter were rising to the sky, and slapped down on behalf of his hands. He did not even move his little finger when the few pitiful wretches were pressed into meat pies.

“Brothers…”

Boss Bai narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath of the scorching and stinky air. Smiling, he declared, one word after another, “Let’s wash this place with blood!”

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

Countless warriors of the Big Bai Pirate Gang in heavy crystal suits with five times more ammunitions, who were not armed to their teeth but to their nose and hair, leaped out of the smoke and split apart to Boss Bai’s two sides like iron torrents. They charged into the smoke ferociously, reaping the lives of the lucky survivors ruthlessly.

The pirate heads, having suffered the series of traps and strikes, were already ninety percent dead. How could they have been a match for the federal space pirates who had been well-prepared?

To make things worse, they had the support of Boss Bai, an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage, who would go forward and slaughter anyone with the slightly more exuberant spiritual waves. Which pirate head could possibly escape from him?

“Why?”

One of the pirate heads, who was toasted by Boss Bai enthusiastically a moment ago, waved his burning arms and screamed in confusion, “We have obviously surrendered to you and elected you as the commander of the National Protection Army. Why are you still killing all of us? Why?”

“Hehe. Are you obeying me sincerely, or are you pushing me out as a shield and a scapegoat?”

Boss Bai said with a smile, “It’s true that I’m very interested in your starships and the experienced, skillful sailors and artillerymen on them, but their bosses are of no use to me and will only add to my trouble.

“Besides, the National Protection Army? F*ck the National Protection Army! It’s just the cannon fodder for the four families. I would rather be sh*tted on than be humiliated as such!”

Hardly had he concluded his sentence when he withdrew a burnt saber from a crater and slashed the pirate who was on fire into two pieces.

“Boss Bai, what… what is your Cultivation?”

Another brutal-looking pirate charged over fearlessly and roared, “I don’t buy it. Are you not in the Nascent Soul Stage?”

“I haven’t been in the Nascent Soul Stage since three hundred years ago.”

Boss Bai cut through the man’s heart in one attack before crumbling his hair remotely. He then sighed at the mist of blood and said casually.

“You’ve lost your mind, Boss Bai, you’ve truly lost your mind!”

The third pirate head, seeing that Boss Bai was tough enough to kill two of the most ferocious pirates more easily than squeezing two bugs, was too shocked to attack Boss Bai and get himself killed. He simply shouted to cover his fear, “You pissed off the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors by sweeping across the Blue Sky Market for the four families first, and then you are swallowing us right in front of Marquess Youngchun. You are asking to be killed, you’d better consider the consequences, you—”

“Captain Zhao, you’re wrong about one thing.”

Boss Bai said, as if it were not a big deal, “I am not swallowing you right in front of Marquess Youngchun. I’m planning to devour Marquess Yongchun’s fleet too. As a matter of fact, they are the main dish, whereas you are just appetizers. If my purpose were to swallow the small fries like you, such trouble would’ve been highly unnecessary!”

“You—”

The pirate head was dumbfounded by Boss Bai’s craziness. “You want to swallow Marquess Yongchun’s fleet? You’ve pissed off two greatest forces in the Imperium of True Human Beings. There’s no place in the entire universe for you right now. Are you planning to fight everyone at the same time?”

“We are space pirates. Space pirates are born to fight everyone, the whole world, and the whole universe.”

Boss Bai sighed in confusion. “You people are not even ready to do that, and yet you are mimicking other people to be space pirates?”

“What do you want exactly?”

Shuddering, the pirate asked, “What benefits would you get by infuriating the reformists and the four families? What can you possibly get?”

“Freedom.”

Boss Bai stepped forward, slashed him apart, and smiled. “Unparalleled freedom!”
