Chapter 2779: Canyun

Chapter 2779: Chapter 2779: Canyun

As Yaojian expected, when they were still several thousand miles away from the red crystal zone, a group of space pirates indeed appeared in the starry sky ahead.

This space pirate group was composed of two starships, each carrying about a hundred powerhouses. What made Yaojian and the others uneasy was that nearly half of them were True God Realm experts.

In Yaojian’s view, no matter in terms of numbers or overall strength, this space pirate group formed an absolute advantage over them.

"First time here, and we encounter such a powerful group of space pirates. We’re doomed this time!"

Yaojian looked at the two rapidly approaching starships of the space pirates, his face slightly pale, murmuring to himself.

He said this and glanced at Fang Bai and the other gods from Emperor’s Palace, only to find that not only were they not afraid, but they seemed eager, as if full of anticipation.

"You’re... not scared?"

Yaojian asked curiously.

He had already prepared to hand over some Divine Crystals as "passage money," hoping that their appetite wouldn’t be too large, otherwise they’d have to fight desperately.

"Scared?"

Fang Bai looked at the two starships opposite, a slight contemptuous smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, and said, "Although they have more True God Realm experts and greater numbers, if we fight hard, we may not lack a chance of winning!"

Yaojian scratched his head, really unable to figure out how this battle could be fought to achieve victory.

Fang Bai said, "I’ll go kill their chief, my subordinates can handle the space pirates on one of their starships. As for the pirates on the other ship, you’ll deal with them... if you can withstand them for several dozen breaths, we can win!"

Yaojian glanced at Fang Bai, then used Divine Sense to sense the strength of the opposing chief, unsurely said, "The opposing chief’s combat power seems slightly stronger than mine. Are you... sure you can kill him?"

He knew Fang Bai was a True God Realm powerhouse, but the initial stage of the True God Realm had just stabilized. Even he himself wasn’t necessarily a match for the opponent’s Starlord, how could he defeat the opponent?

He thought Fang Bai was too young, and said such big words when excited on impulse.

Fang Bai smiled and said, "Yaojian Bro, don’t underestimate me! Now, let me show you my strength!"

With that, he led dozens of gods from Emperor’s Palace, flying off Yaojian’s starship and towards one of the space pirate ships.

The powerhouses on the opposite space pirate ship saw them, let out a burst of laughter, then over a hundred powerhouses flew out, wielding Divine Artifacts toward the gods of Emperor’s Palace.

"These small fries, leave them to you!"

Fang Bai’s figure moved faster than lightning, piercing through over a hundred space pirates straight to the starship behind them.

On the deck of that starship stood a burly, bearded man, who was the chief of the two space pirate ships, Canyun.

Fang Bai’s target was Canyun.

The space pirate group powerhouses, who had rushed close to the gods of Emperor’s Palace, were about to attack, but suddenly found their surroundings transformed. Those who understood the Array Path immediately knew they were trapped in a formation.

"A small formation can block us?"

"Wait until I break out of the formation, I’ll kill you!"

"Kill all the men, capture the women as companions!"

"Haha... well said!"

"Charge!"

...

The over a hundred space pirates trapped by the formation created by gods from Emperor’s Palace shouted and attacked all around, trying to break free.

However, they quickly realized that no matter how they attacked, the formation showed no signs of collapse. Instead, the surroundings constantly changed, sometimes into Corpse Mountain Blood Sea Killing, sometimes into Knife Forest Jianyu, affecting their minds.

Thus, over a hundred space pirates were stuck in the formation created by the gods of Emperor’s Palace, rushing back and forth, wasting Divine Power but unable to break it.

Meanwhile, Fang Bai and the space pirate group’s chief Canyun were engaged in battle, fighting evenly, neither able to gain the upper hand in a short time.

"Very good!"

Seeing this, Yaojian let out a long sigh of relief, realizing that Fang Bai’s team was stronger than his own team.

And Fang Bai’s combat power seemed not to be inferior to his own, realizing he had underestimated Fang Bai before, thinking he was exaggerating.

He recalled Fang Bai said that as long as they held out for several dozen breaths, they would have a hope of victory, guessing Fang Bai might have some powerful backup, thus he became invigorated, wielding a blood-colored giant sword, vigilantly watching another rapidly approaching starship.

When that starship drew near and the hundred powerhouses aboard charged over, Yaojian didn’t rashly fight with them. Instead, he waved the blood-colored giant sword and shouted, "Brothers, activate the starship’s Defensive Array to repel the enemy!"

In the Divine Realm, almost every starship is equipped with a formation to defend against potential external attacks.

Though Yaojian’s starship wasn’t large, its Defensive Array was not weak. Once activated, a light shield enveloped the entire starship, blocking the attacks of over a hundred space pirates.

However, the biggest drawback of a starship’s Defensive Array is that it consumes a lot of Divine Crystals.

Once the starship formation is activated, nearly every moment requires a large amount of Divine Crystals to maintain the formation’s circulation.

When Divine Crystals are exhausted, the formation disappears, leaving only desperate combat, inevitably leading to casualties.

However, Yaojian was confident, believing that relying on the Divine Crystals carried by his dozens of brothers and sisters would endure for several dozen breaths should not be hard.

His only concern was the opposing strength. Combined, they might break the Defensive Array.

Thus, in the starry sky of tens of thousands of miles radius, over three hundred Void God Realm and True God Realm powerhouses launched into a large chaotic battle.

"Kid, join our space pirate group, how about I make you a deputy chief?"

The space pirate group’s chief Canyun, battling Fang Bai, initially thought dealing with a newly entered True God Realm kid would result in a sweeping victory like a breeze. Unexpectedly, he couldn’t prevail, and Fang Bai seemed to be getting stronger as the fight progressed.

This surprised him greatly, fearing the outcome of such continued fighting would be uncertain.

Thus, he suddenly entertained the idea of recruiting Fang Bai, lest this attempt end in loss, with himself paying the price.

"Deputy chief?"

Fang Bai sneered at this, saying coldly, "Let me tell you, I don’t even care about your chief’s position!"

Canyun felt a surge of anger in his chest and raised an eyebrow, saying, "What do you want?"

Fang Bai said, "I originally planned to kill you, but if you know the situation, leave behind your two starships and all the cultivation resources of your members, maybe I can spare your life!"

"Bullshit! I’ll smash you!"

Canyun became furious, raising his Divine Artifact to strike Fang Bai with all his might.

His Divine Artifact was a black long staff, growing a hundred feet when striking Fang Bai, bringing down Supreme Divine Power with a mighty, heart-stirring force.

Fang Bai glanced disdainfully at the long staff, raised his Blood-Drinking Mad Blade from below, and counter-slash out.
