Chapter 576 - 574: Descending Upon the Cyan Armor Race

The man and woman captured by the Black Death Thief Gang saw a glimmer of hope!

They hadn’t seen clearly what had just happened.

But when seven or eight pirates suddenly died at Luo Tian’s hands, they knew he was no ordinary person!

"Senior, please save us! I will do anything, work like a horse and ox, to repay your kindness!"

The broad-faced man clung to this last shred of hope, begging Luo Tian.

Even if it was a long shot, he had to try.

Luo Tian had no love for pirates to begin with, and he had seen a bit of what was happening.

"Release them, and you can leave."

Luo Tian couldn’t be bothered to argue. He would just save two fellow members of the Human Race and be done with it.

But when the man in the tigerskin heard this, he threw his head back and laughed. "Hahaha!"

"Make him shut his mouth!"

The man in the tigerskin barked an order.

One of his underlings immediately slapped the broad-faced man several times, knocking out a few of his teeth.

"You damn brat, who do you think you are?"

The man in the tigerskin stared at Luo Tian again, his gaze Yin Cold and seething with killing intent!

"You killed my men and now you want to steal my bounty? You think far too much of yourself!"

The man in the tigerskin was furious!

His men were only around the Fourth or Fifth Layer of the Earth Element Realm. The fact that Luo Tian had killed them all didn’t particularly impress him.

He was simply furious with Luo Tian’s attitude, feeling he had lost a great deal of face.

"You’re the arrogant ones here, aren’t you?"

Luo Tian found it amusing.

From the very beginning, this Pirate Gang had completely disregarded him, wandering around his Void Ship as if it were their own private garden and even telling him to scram.

The pirates were the ones who had attacked first.

It was obvious who the arrogant ones were.

"In my eyes, you’re not even a person. You’re just a dog, an ant. So I wasn’t being arrogant, was I?"

The man in the tigerskin sneered.

He had been a pirate for over thirty years; there was nothing he hadn’t seen.

’How strong could someone as young as Luo Tian possibly be?’

’Even a disciple from one of the three great Overlord Level powers wouldn’t be his match at that age.’

"Boss, I think I’ve seen this kid somewhere before,"

one of the pirates said, frowning in thought.

The man in the tigerskin ignored him.

His mind was made up. He would kill Luo Tian.

"Today, I, Boss Black Death, will cut you down right here!"

Boss Black Death roared as a pitch-black storm erupted around him. Looking like a Demon, he seethed with murderous intent!

"Demon-Smashing Hammer!"

A colossal black hammer appeared in his hands. He leaped into the air and charged at Luo Tian!

As the hammer came crashing down, a void storm howled, and a vast, dark, colossal shadow plunged toward Luo Tian’s head!

"Senior, watch out! Boss Black Death’s Cultivation is at the Peak of the Earth Element Realm Eighth Layer..."

the broad-faced man yelled frantically.

The man in the tigerskin couldn’t help but grin viciously.

’It’s too late for Luo Tian to have any regrets now!’

But just then,

the man in the tigerskin heard one of his men shout, "Boss, he’s the one with the one-million-coin bounty from the Sea Demon Palace!"

’One million?’

Boss Black Death was dumbfounded!

The man and woman he had just captured were only worth a combined one hundred thousand Spiritual Essence Coins!

Luo Tian’s bounty, however, was one million!

Having been a pirate for decades, he instantly understood the significance of such a reward!

But it was too late to stop his attack.

BOOM!

Luo Tian waved his hand, and a violent gust of wind swept out. The massive black hammer was propelled backward by an immense force.

Boss Black Death could only watch in horror as his own hammer flew back toward his face, completely beyond his control!

CRACK! His head was smashed to a pulp.

The headless corpse and the hammer flew several hundred meters away before vanishing from sight.

Even the pirates’ Void Ship swayed from the force of Luo Tian’s gesture, drifting back more than ten meters.

The broad-faced man and the gentle woman were utterly dumbfounded!

’What kind of power was this? He killed Boss Black Death with a single wave of his hand!’

Silence fell once more.

THUD! THUD!

The few surviving pirates fell to their knees, their faces deathly pale as they begged for mercy!

"Sp-spare us!"

"We were blind to your greatness! We never should have offended a True Disciple of the Tai Yuan Sect! Your Excellency is magnanimous and merciful, please forgive us!"

The pirates kowtowed repeatedly.

Once Luo Tian’s bounty was announced, his identity became self-evident.

In the entire Broken-star Realm, you could count on one hand the number of people with a bounty of one million.

How could they ever hope to provoke such a terrifying figure?

Besides, Luo Tian was a True Disciple of the Tai Yuan Sect!

If word of this got out, the Tai Yuan Sect wouldn’t let them off, either.

The ridiculous part was that they had tracked him for a month and attacked his Void Ship’s Defense Shield for another month. After courting death for two whole months, they were only just now realizing their mistake.

"I am not a magnanimous or merciful person,"

Luo Tian said coolly.

BZZZT!

On the deck of the Void Ship, the blood-stained blade trembled and shot into the air!

Since Luo Tian’s Cultivation had broken through to the Celestial Pool Realm, his spiritual power had increased, allowing him to easily use Controlling the Sword with Thought. It made little difference that his target wasn’t a sword.

SHHNNK—

The blade, as if it had a mind of its own, flew a circle around the black Void Ship, executing every last one of the remaining pirates!

Just like that, the infamous Black Death Thief Gang was utterly destroyed.

"Thank you for saving our lives, Your Excellency!"

The broad-faced man and the gentle woman knelt.

Having escaped death by a hair’s breadth, they were immensely grateful to Luo Tian.

"Don’t mention it."

Luo Tian’s expression was calm. It had been no trouble at all.

The broad-faced man and the gentle woman exchanged an embarrassed glance.

They wanted to repay his kindness but couldn’t think of how. After all, Luo Tian was a True Disciple of the Tai Yuan Sect.

"Do you two know the location of the Cyan Armor Race?"

Luo Tian asked.

"The Cyan Armor Race?"

The two of them immediately looked wary.

’Why is he asking about the Cyan Armor Race? Is he planning to join the forces of the Sea Race?’

"Yes. I have a score to settle with them. If you don’t know where they are, then never mind."

Luo Tian’s expression was placid.

He couldn’t deal with the Sea Demon Palace at the moment.

But he would absolutely not let the Cyan Armor Race off the hook.

After hearing his explanation, the broad-faced man and his companion flushed with shame!

Luo Tian was a peerless prodigy cultivated by one of the Human Race’s Overlord Level powers. He was honorable, righteous, and forthright!

And they had just suspected him of planning to defect to the Sea Race!

They were mortified by their own thoughts.

"Benefactor, if you’re looking for the Cyan Armor Race, I can lead the way,"

the broad-faced man said solemnly.

"Brother Cheng, we just escaped..."

The gentle woman’s lovely brow furrowed, her expression a mix of sorrow and hesitation.

"Just escaped?"

Luo Tian asked, puzzled.

"That’s right. Six months ago, Qian’Er was sold to the Cyan Armor Race by traffickers..."

The broad-faced man began his story.

To save the woman he loved, he had ventured deep into dangerous territory, devised a plan, and finally succeeded in rescuing her, fleeing all the way to this place.

After he finished,

the gentle woman decided to join the broad-faced man in guiding Luo Tian.

She didn’t want to be separated from him, and she also worried about him going alone.

Luo Tian’s Void Ship was incredibly fast.

With a clear destination, they reached the Fish and Water Realm, home of the Cyan Armor Race, in less than a month.

"The Fish and Water Realm once had two major powers, but with the Sea Demon Palace’s intervention, one was defeated, allowing the Cyan Armor Race to become the sole ruler,"

the broad-faced man explained.

"Benefactor, the Cyan Armor Race is no simple foe. Have you... made adequate preparations?"

He was skeptical, seeing that Luo Tian was all alone.

The Cyan Armor Race was immensely powerful. Even though Luo Tian had easily annihilated the Black Death Thief Gang, that was nothing compared to the strength of the Cyan Armor Race.

Furthermore, since the Cyan Armor Race was part of the Sea Race, Luo Tian’s status as a True Disciple of the Tai Yuan Sect would be of no use.

"You two need not worry about that. Thank you for guiding me. You can head back now."

Luo Tian said calmly.

The broad-faced man and the woman watched Luo Tian depart, then glanced at each other.

They couldn’t understand the source of his confidence.

"Our benefactor’s Void Ship is so large, there must be other experts on board. Maybe this is the Tai Yuan Sect’s way of teaching the Cyan Armor Race a lesson..."

the gentle woman speculated.

"Exactly! Why would the Tai Yuan Sect let a True Disciple come to the Cyan Armor Race alone? There must be others hidden in the shadows!"

the broad-faced man agreed.

Both of them deeply hated the Cyan Armor Race and wanted to see what would happen.

So, they disguised themselves and secretly followed Luo Tian.

「A few days later.」

The pair saw the vast and imposing territory of the Cyan Armor Race estate.

Suddenly,

a hand landed on the gentle woman’s shoulder.

The gentle woman shuddered. When she turned around, she saw a demonic face.

"It’s you..."

She stumbled back, trembling, her face ashen.

"Jin Huai!"

The broad-faced man’s face fell.

A few months ago, it was from Jin Huai’s grasp that he had rescued the gentle woman.

He never imagined they would run into Jin Huai again just as they neared the Cyan Armor Race’s estate. They had walked right into the lion’s den!

"Hehe, this young master is very sensitive to the scent of a woman. I smelled a familiar fragrance the moment I returned to the estate!"

Jin Huai flashed a lecherous grin.

"Seize these two fools."

Jin Huai commanded.

The five Guards behind him immediately surrounded the broad-faced man and the gentle woman.

The broad-faced man’s Cultivation was at the Earth Element Realm Fifth Layer, while the gentle woman was only at the Earth Element Realm Second Layer!

But these five Guards from the Cyan Armor Race were Jin Huai’s personal bodyguards, and all of them had reached the Earth Element Realm Sixth Layer!

The gentle woman’s face filled with despair. She had been too careless. She had only just escaped, and now she was about to fall into the Demon Claw once more.

Just as the five Guards were about to make their move,

WHOOSH!

a figure in white suddenly appeared beside the broad-faced man and the gentle woman!

"Why are you two following me?"

Luo Tian had noticed them tailing him long ago.

"Who’s there?"

The five Guards’ expressions changed instantly!

They hadn’t sensed a thing, yet someone had just appeared out of thin air. It was an eerie and unsettling sight.

"I was wondering why you two dared to approach my clan’s territory again. So, you’ve brought an expert with you? Are you here to demand justice?"

Jin Huai chuckled.

But as he sized Luo Tian up, he saw that the man seemed even younger than he was. ’His strength can’t be that impressive.’

’Are these two idiots, bringing someone like this to demand justice?’

"I am indeed here to settle a score with the Cyan Armor Race, but it has nothing to do with them,"

Luo Tian stated coolly.

The person before him was, after all, a member of the Cyan Armor Race.

"Settle a score?"

Jin Huai sneered. "Fine. Since you’re here to settle a score, then please, come in. We can take our time settling it inside!"

The broad-faced man and the woman looked at Luo Tian.

Jin Huai’s invitation to enter the Cyan Armor Race estate was clearly malicious.

’Now is the time for Luo Tian to show his true power and for the elders and experts of the Tai Yuan Sect to reveal themselves!’

However, Luo Tian simply turned and strode forward.

No other experts or seniors appeared. It was just Luo Tian, all alone, coming to settle his score with the Cyan Armor Race.

The broad-faced man and the woman were stunned. A powerful wave of regret washed over them. They shouldn’t have followed Luo Tian here only to die.
