Chapter 1652 (Raw 1634): Miserable Sea Battle

“Skeleton Dragon Star Venerate, why are you still not handing over the Saber Technique manual? Don’t make the Sword General wait for too long!” a youth in treasure armor by the Sword General’s side shouted coldly.

Feeling the disdain in this youth’s eyes, Skeleton Dragon Star Venerate felt humiliated. After all, he was still an early-stage Starry Sky cultivator.

He was a Cloud Sea powerhouse, yet a youth of the Divine Shield Army dared to look down on him.

However, right now, the Skeleton Dragon Star Venerate vaguely felt that if he did not surrender the Saber Technique manual, he would die on the spot. But if he did so, it would not end well for him, either.

Just as the Skeleton Dragon Star Venerate struggled to choose, not knowing what to do, a scarlet light appeared from the island. The Savage Blood Star Venerate actually led all the pirate ships to charge out.

The Savage Blood Star Venerate did not sit and wait for his death, not giving the Divine Shield Army a chance to shrink the encirclement.

“General, the Savage Blood Pirate Group is coming out,” the youth reported, his eyes shining with excitement.

The Sword General was about to say something when the Skeleton Dragon Star Venerate took this opportunity to push off with his feet and quickly leave the ship.

“You are seeking death!”

The Sword General narrowed his eyes. Then, he grabbed a broad sword by the side that was as tall as a person. His figure flashed through the air as he stabbed with the sword.

In that instant, his sword thrust was like a huge army charging in the air. Killing Qi surged in all directions. The vast might could shake rivers and mountains.

In front, the Skeleton Dragon Star Venerate’s face immediately sank. The might of this sword firmly suppressed him.

The tyrannical and incredibly mighty Sword Technique firmly locked down on the Skeleton Dragon Star Venerate, not giving him any chance to leave.

The Skeleton Dragon Star Venerate was initially already weakened, retaining with less than ten percent of his combat prowess. He could not block this attack.

Wanting to fight to the death, the Skeleton Dragon Star Venerate turned around to block the sword’s edge and seek a chance to survive.

However, just by him turning around, the sword strike inflicted many horrifying wounds on his body.

The Skeleton Dragon Star Venerate’s dragon robes immediately tore apart, looking like the sword wind shredded them.

“Clap!”

The Skeleton Dragon Star Venerate roared furiously and performed an extraordinary feat, clamping down on the sword with his hands at lightning speed.

“Pu ci!” The enormous force from the sword made the Skeleton Dragon Star Venerate vomit a mouthful of blood. Then, he glared at the Sword General’s cold and emotionless face with boundless hate.

“You lied to me! You agreed to help me revitalize my sect!”

The Sword General retorted indifferently, “If you were of a righteous sect, naturally, I would fulfill my promise. However, the Skeleton Dragon Hall is an evil sect, performing all sorts of evil deeds. You are no better than those pirate groups. If I helped you revitalize your sect, that would be taking the side of evildoers.”

“You lied to me! You lied to me! You lied to me!”

Despair spread in the Skeleton Dragon Star Venerate’s heart. He seemed to go crazy, shouting repetitively.

“Idiot!” the Sword General said coldly before swinging his sword wide. It looked like there was a huge army running in the desert. The entire space trembled, filled with unparalleled sword strikes.

This easily tore apart the Skeleton Dragon Star Venerate’s final defense. “Hu chi!” The sword stabbed into his chest and came out the other side.

“Whoosh!”

The Sword General’s other hand grabbed the Skeleton Dragon Star Venerate’s storage ring at lightning speed as the energy contained in the broad sword exploded.

“Bang!” This Starry Sky expert fell here, dying without an intact corpse.

Standing on the Savage Blood Pirate Group’s flagship, the Savage Blood Star Venerate, who wore a scarlet cape, expressionlessly watched this scene. Then, he said coldly, “The evils we bring on ourselves are the hardest to bear.”

He already anticipated such a result long ago. To think that this Skeleton Dragon Star Venerate still foolishly placed his hope on the Divine Shield Army, just because the Divine Shield Army’s reputation was slightly better than the Blood Sword Army’s?

It was truly sorrowful to be ignorant.

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, a Buddhist light burst forth from the blood mist that resulted from the Skeleton Dragon Star Venerate exploding. Its source was a painting scroll.

“Saber Technique manual? It turned out that this fellow hid the Saber Technique manual in his own body.”

The Savage Blood Star Venerate ordered coldly, “Third Brother, Fourth Brother, operate the Savage Blood at full power. Do not be stingy with the resources and our trump cards. Lead everyone out of the encirclement and go as far as possible.”

Right after saying that, the Savage Blood Star Venerate’s figure flashed and arrived in front of the painting scroll.

Up ahead, the Sword General was no slower, already arriving at the other side.

The painting scroll that contained the incomplete manual of the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique hovered between the two. Neither made a move.

“Savage Blood Star Venerate, it has been many years since we last met. Unexpectedly, you broke through.” The Sword General felt astonished that the Savage Blood Star Venerate had reached the middle-stage Starry Sky Stage.

The Cloud Sea Realm was split into three stages. Those in the Starry Sky Stage were known as Star Venerates. Those in the Holy Light Stage were known as Holy Venerates. Those in the Sovereign Stage were known as Sovereign Personages.

Each of these stages was further split into the early, middle, and late stages. With every breakthrough of these bottlenecks, one’s strength would improve qualitatively.

How easily the Savage Blood Star Venerate suppressed the Skeleton Dragon Star Venerate was the greatest proof of that.

The Savage Blood Star Venerate said expressionlessly, “Cut the crap. If I die in your hands today, then it means that I’m slightly weaker. However, you are dreaming if you want to both obtain the Saber Technique manual and destroy my Savage Blood Pirate Group.

“I can give up the Saber Technique manual to you. However, you have to open a path up for my Savage Blood Pirate Group.”

The Sword General thought very quickly. Then, he nodded and said, “Deal. However, you will have to leave behind all of the other pirate groups.”

“Scram!” The Savage Blood Star Venerate shouted coldly, bluntly rejecting the other party’s offer.

The Sword General’s expression did not change as he said indifferently, “Both of us are very clear that this world is not as simple as black and white. There are many things that can be negotiated. I’ve activated all of the Divine Shield Army in the entire Grave Sea. If I do not return with any accomplishment, how am I to explain this?”

The Savage Blood Star Venerate smiled coldly. “You want both the Saber Technique manual and repute. In that case, it is better not to negotiate.”

“Whoosh!”

Blood dyed the sky, and the setting sun appeared. The Savage Blood Star Venerate sent out a saber strike, infusing the heavenly scarlet river into his saber.

The Sword General held his sword horizontally, firmly blocking this saber strike in the air.

The two Starry Sky experts exchanged moves, and the situation immediately deteriorated beyond salvaging.

The Divine Shield Army and the pirate groups also commenced an incredibly intense sea battle.

One side was the Divine Shield Army, which held a numerical advantage. The other side was pirate group elites, the survivors of a bloody battle.

Both sides were mortal enemies. The horror of the intensity of this battle could be easily imagined.

The Savage Blood Pirate Group’s flagship led the charge. The peak 5-Star pirate group showed its scary and ferocious side in the sea.

Several hundred Neptune’s Rages fired at the same time. Cannonballs filled the air, covering the sun. This looked like the end of the world. The Divine Shield Army formed defensive formations of light; countless banners gave off a golden light.

The Divine Shield Army formed a huge golden shield on the surface of the sea, blocking the combined might of one hundred peak 5-Star Neptune’s Rages.

The seemingly ferocious and boundless starry sea showed its gentle and weak side at this moment.

Under the force of the cannonade and aftershocks, thousands of holes pocked the vast sea. Waves surged, sounding like miserable shrieks.

The Divine Shield Army excelled at defense. With the support of the many huge light shields, they firmly blocked the pirates’ attacks.

If the Blood Sword Army were here instead, it would be a very different scene.

Under the leadership of the Savage Blood Pirate Group, the cannon fire of the pirates increased in ferocity. The person taking charge on the Divine Shield Army’s flagship coldly ordered a counterattack.

“Light of the divine shield, counterattack!”

“Ka! Ka! Ka!”

Immediately, many golden shields pointed to the sky on all of the Divine Shield Army’s ships, sending out beams of resplendent light.

The light coalesced in the sky. After a while, it formed a sun.

The light was piercingly resplendent. What was scarier was the incredibly scorching energy that it contained.

The expressions of the many pirates immediately changed. Their pirate ships could not do as the Divine Shield Army’s ships did, work together to form a shield formation.

The pirates could only defend individually, taking care of themselves.

“Shatter that light!” someone on the Savage Blood Pirate Group’s flagship shouted as he soared up.

This was the Iron Hand Yama leading countless strong pirates in a charge into the air. Then, they formed a human shield and used their auras to forcefully block the light in the sky.

“Attack and kill all of the pirates!”

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Countless golden-armored cultivators on the Divine Shield Army’s ships soared into the air with sharp weapons in their hands. They radiated killing Qi as they prepared to fight the cruelest close-quarter battle.

Just at this moment, the Black Cutlass slowly floated up from the bottom of the starry sea.

When the Black Cutlass appeared at the surface, it was greeted by a dark night scene filled with resplendent starlight.

When one looked to the front, there was a brilliant light, which surrounded an island and was steadily shrinking.
