Chapter 2780: Chapter 2780: If You Want to Kill, Then Kill

"Clang!"

Two divine artifacts collided fiercely in the starry space, sparking dazzling, eye-catching flames.

Fang Bai had a cold smile on his lips, his body unmoving.

However, Canyun’s face changed dramatically, his body quickly recoiling, and he struggled to hold onto his long staff, almost letting it fly out of his hand.

A single strike determined superiority.

Canyun’s battle strength was clearly inferior to Fang Bai.

Before Canyun could stabilize himself, Fang Bai’s Blood-Drinking Mad Blade transformed into a giant beam, producing a "whoosh" sound as it sliced through the air, quickly pursuing and arriving in front of Canyun.

Canyun was greatly shocked, waving his long staff to form a wall of staff shadows, attempting to block the incoming blade beam.

But he knew this seemed impossible, so he formed a protective shield around himself as a precaution.

"Buzz!"

The hundred-foot-long bloody blade beam shimmered brightly in the starry space, then forcefully broke through the dense staff shadows and slashed onto the defense qi shield surrounding Canyun.

The qi shield vibrated violently, and in the next moment, it collapsed and disappeared.

"Ah!"

A scream echoed from Canyun’s mouth, blood splattered, and half of Canyun’s body was almost severed by the blade beam.

In less than ten breaths of combat, Canyun was severely injured, losing more than half of his fighting strength.

Other members of the Star Pirates Group, seeing their leader severely injured, felt terrified, losing their fighting spirit, and looked at Fang Bai with fear in their eyes.

The Yaojian faction and the gods of the Emperor’s Palace all cheered.

They understood that since Canyun, the leader of the Star Pirates Group, was severely injured, the group would lack leadership, and their confidence and willpower would likely be shattered, possibly causing them to collapse and flee.

In other words, they had already secured victory in this battle.

Yaojian was shocked even more, not expecting Fang Bai to be so powerful that he quickly resolved the battle.

"Could Brother Fang’s true realm and cultivation level be at the mid-level of the True God Realm?"

Yaojian wondered in his heart.

As expected, the members of the Star Pirates Group, led by Canyun, had no intention of fighting after Canyun was severely injured and showed signs of collapsing.

But those members trapped by the Emperor’s Palace Gods’ formation had no escape.

"Don’t... please don’t kill me, I’ll give you all the cultivation resources I have!"

The severely injured Canyun knew that if Fang Bai acted again, he would undoubtedly die, begging for mercy immediately.

"Brother Fang, don’t spare him! Canyun is brutal and vicious, always seeking revenge, and has shed the blood of many Divine Realm strongmen. Just despising him would earn us the support and praise of the Divine Realm strongmen. Why not take advantage of it?"

Before Fang Bai could speak, Yaojian had flown over from the starship and shouted loudly.

Perhaps worried that Fang Bai might show mercy, Yaojian hadn’t reached them yet, and his long sword was already unsheathed.

The sword light flashed like lightning, instantly piercing Canyun’s qi sea area, taking away all of his life force.

"Huff..."

Looking at Canyun’s corpse floating in the starry space, Yaojian sighed lightly and then apologized to Fang Bai, saying, "Brother Fang, I acted in a hurry, fearing you might spare him. Please forgive me!"

Fang Bai waved his hand, saying, "Well, he’s killed. Actually, even if you hadn’t acted, I might not have spared him."

He glanced around the starry space and saw that most of Canyun’s subordinates had fled, and said, "The Star Pirates Group has been defeated. Let’s clean up the scene, distribute the cultivation resources, and prepare to move on!"

With a casual gesture, the spatial divine ring left behind by Canyun was already in his hand.

As the leader of this Star Pirates Group, Canyun’s spatial divine ring surely stored a large quantity of divine crystals; this was beyond doubt.

In this battle, Fang Bai was the most meritorious, and it can be said he single-handedly saved everyone, so he took Canyun’s spatial divine ring with Yaojian’s full approval.

Fang Bai took one of the Star Pirate ships into his Five Elements Space Ring and left the other to Yaojian.

The members of the Star Pirates Group trapped by the Emperor’s Palace’s gods’ formation were allowed to leave after they obediently handed over their spatial rings, which went to the Emperor’s Palace gods.

Yaojian received one starship, and such a ship could be exchanged for a huge amount of divine crystals, making it a significant gain. Therefore, Yaojian and his subordinates were deeply grateful to Fang Bai.

After this battle, Fang Bai vaguely became the leader of this group of Divine Realm strongmen, and Yaojian began to look up to Fang Bai as their leader.

Later, their starship was attacked by another Star Pirates Group, but Fang Bai acted again and swept through them.

"Up ahead is the Fiery Flame Crystal Zone!"

When the gods’ divine senses scanned the "sea of fire" hundreds of miles ahead, Yaojian said.

Actually, that "sea of fire" was just the fiery red glow emitted by the Red Divine Crystals, illuminating an area of tens of thousands of miles, seemingly like a sea of fire.

Fang Bai’s divine senses penetrated the Fiery Flame Crystal Zone ahead and discovered multiple divine power fluctuations inside the zone, guessing that there may be other strongmen mining divine crystals there.

However, Fang Bai had already decided that as long as the other strongmen did not provoke them actively, they would not interfere in the mining of divine crystals, ideally staying out of each other’s way.

The starship stopped at the edge of the Fiery Flame Crystal Zone. Yaojian left some subordinates there to guard the starship, while he, alongside Fang Bai and other gods, cautiously flew into the crystal zone to explore further.

At the edge of the Fiery Flame Crystal Zone, although there were some red divine crystals, their quantity was sparse, and their quality was not very good. Therefore, Divine Realm strongmen aimed to delve deeper into the crystal zone to mine better quality red divine crystals.

After venturing several hundred miles into the crystal zone, they encountered a group of several dozen Divine Realm strongmen forming a crystal mining team. Both sides merely exchanged glances and then went about their business.

"Here it is."

Fang Bai sensed keenly and, upon seeing a massive starstone tens of miles in diameter, said to Yaojian and the other gods, "This starstone contains plenty of divine crystals, and their quality is decent. Let’s spread out and begin mining."

Normally, divine crystals exposed in the starry sky lead to divine power easily dissipating, which is why some strongmen prefer searching for divine crystals encased within starstones.

Divine crystals wrapped within starstones harbor more divine power and offer greater cultivation aid to strongmen.

Fang Bai and the other gods were indeed after these divine crystals.

Yaojian glanced at the large starstone pointed out by Fang Bai, initially skeptical of the existence of divine crystals within. However, seeing Fang Bai’s confident demeanor, he commented, "Let me see!"

He swung his long sword, crisscrossing sword qi, and slashed onto the starstone. The "whoosh, whoosh" sound rang out as large chunks of starstone fell away.

Soon, beams of red light emitted, revealing divine crystals within.

The divine crystals were densely packed together, surrounded by starstone, resembling enlarged pomegranate seeds.
