Chapter 707: A Beauty for Wushuang

"Get on your knees!"

Hearing the one-eyed man’s barked command, Byron’s face flushed red. ’Kneel? Isn’t this a blatant attempt to humiliate me?’

"Damn Interstellar Pirates, in your dreams!"

In an instant, Byron flew into a rage and charged the one-eyed man. He drew a Golden Great Sword and swung it down, a sheet of golden Sword Light blanketing the area from above.

Seeing this, the other eight Interstellar Pirates revealed vicious glints in their eyes, preparing to kill Byron together.

However, the one-eyed man waved his hand and shouted sternly, "He’s mine! I’m going to cut him down myself!"

As he spoke, the one-eyed man hefted his jet-black Ancient Battle Saber and swung wildly. A whistling Saber Gang tore the golden Sword Light to shreds. At the same time, the Inscriptions on the Battle Saber flowed, burrowing into the void. The void itself collapsed and twisted, forming four black holes that closed in on Byron.

Byron’s expression was grim. His Golden Great Sword shot into the air, rapidly spinning into a vortex of Sword Qi that collided with the four black holes.

RUMBLE!

The merchant ship trembled, as if it were about to break apart.

"BOOM!"

Seizing the opportunity, another Interstellar Pirate’s eyes flashed viciously. He took a step forward, leaving a trail of afterimages, and launched a sneak attack from behind, kicking at Byron.

BAM! Byron, focused on resisting the four black holes, didn’t notice. The kick sent him flying into the side of the merchant ship.

CLANG!

His Golden Great Sword was also sent flying, landing diagonally stuck in the deck!

"So this is your ’one-on-one’... PTUI!"

Byron’s face was flushed red. He glared at the pirate who had ambushed him and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"I said one-on-one, and you actually thought it was a one-on-one? You idiot! We’re pirates! Do you have shit for brains or something?"

The one-eyed man walked over, brandishing his jet-black saber!

"Hahaha, what an idiot!"

The other eight pirates roared with laughter, venting all their pent-up frustration.

"Stop laughing. Kill them all. We’ll take this merchant vessel; we can use it after a few modifications."

The one-eyed man turned and ordered coldly.

Their own warship had been stolen by Ye Wushuang and perished along with the Star-Devouring Giant Beast. Without a ship, they would be adrift in the cosmos, with no way to survive!

As he spoke, he reached Byron and brought his jet-black saber down. A cold, black light, shrouded in Dao Marks, was powerful enough to tear Byron’s body to shreds!

"Stop!"

Suddenly, a blonde figure flickered out from inside the ship. She blasted a palm strike at the one-eyed man, the surging energy she unleashed knocking his saber away!

The one-eyed man seized the chance to dodge back, his eyes fixed on the newcomer.

It was Sona!

"So there was a Pseudo-Saint Level beauty hiding here." The one-eyed man stared at Sona, a fervent, lecherous light blazing in his eyes!

It wasn’t just him; the other eight pirates were the same. Their gazes looked like they wanted to devour Sona whole!

"Kill everyone on this vessel! No, leave the pretty girl. We’ll take her along with the ship."

The one-eyed man commanded loudly.

At once, everyone’s expression changed drastically. Interstellar Pirates were vicious and bloodthirsty by nature. Seeing the ferocious looks on this group of pirates, they had no doubt they would be chopped to pieces.

"What do we do?"

The people on the merchant vessel were desperate and helpless, with nowhere to run!

A heavy gloom fell over Sona’s fair face. Nine Pseudo-Saints. With her strength, she couldn’t possibly stop them. A massacre was inevitable!

"Byron, go hold them off! I’ll deal with him," Sona shouted to Byron, her eyes locked on the one-eyed man.

"If you want someone to deal with them, have your Young Master Ye do it! Where is he hiding at a critical moment like this? Coward! He’s nothing but a coward."

Byron roared, then turned and charged off the vessel!

Was Byron trying to escape alone?

Seeing Byron’s actions, the people on the merchant vessel all froze. For him to escape at a time like this meant they would lose another Pseudo-Saint. Their deaths would be certain.

BOOM!

The Interstellar Pirates reacted quickly. Two of them swiftly blocked Byron’s path, giving him no chance to escape!

The one-eyed man also moved quickly, preparing to subdue Sona first!

"Ahem!"

But at that very moment, the sound of a cough came from within the merchant vessel. A figure in white emerged, walking out with his hands clasped behind his back.

This white-robed figure had a restrained aura and a calm smile on his face!

However, upon seeing him, the group of Interstellar Pirates were anything but calm.

Their movements slowed, their pupils contracted, and they stared fixedly at Ye Wushuang.

Noticing this change, the people from the merchant company also turned to look.

Sona, too, turned her head. Ye Wushuang had come out!

"You want to kill everyone on this vessel, including me?"

Ye Wushuang stared at the one-eyed man. He recognized this group; he just hadn’t expected to meet them here again!

"No, a misunderstanding! It’s a misunderstanding!"

The one-eyed man’s face stiffened. His ferocious expression vanished, replaced by utter terror as he shook his head repeatedly!

This transformation left Sona and the others stunned, staring at Ye Wushuang in disbelief!

"Are you all right?" Ye Wushuang stepped forward, hands still behind his back, and asked Sona with a faint smile, completely ignoring the group of Interstellar Pirates!

"I... I’m fine."

Sona shook her head, glanced at the group of pirates, and said, "It’s just..."

"THUD, THUD, THUD!"

Sona had only uttered those two words when the group of pirates suddenly dropped to their knees on the deck. The dramatic scene left Sona and the others completely bewildered!

"Sir, we didn’t know she was your woman! We’re sorry, we’re sorry."

The one-eyed man and the other Interstellar Pirates stared at Ye Wushuang as they began slapping themselves across the face. "SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!" the sounds echoed as they shouted.

Sona’s face turned red. ’Calling me Ye Wushuang’s woman? That’s ridiculous! Although... I do like him a little. But not enough to be his woman...’

"Finish your hundred slaps, then get lost!"

Ye Wushuang just shook his head, uttered this faint remark, and walked back inside the vessel.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the one-eyed man and his crew hurriedly finished their hundred slaps, then scrambled and crawled off the vessel.

If they had known that the man who stole their warship was here, they would never have come near, not even if it meant death. They had no desire to have their bones shattered again!

As the group of Interstellar Pirates fled in panic, Sona and the crew finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then they glanced toward the ship’s interior, and their hearts jumped!

They knew full well that the nine ferocious Pseudo-Saint pirates had fled in a panic not out of some sudden mercy, but because they were terrified of Ye Wushuang—terrified of that Pseudo-Saint in white!

"That... Is he some peerless expert, hiding on our merchant vessel?"

The crew members all speculated, finding it utterly unbelievable!

"It seems Miss Sona is the best judge of character. She must have known all along that Young Master Ye was an expert. If he had really been driven away, we would have all died today!"

"Yeah, I think Young Master Ye and Miss Sona are a match made in heaven. A beauty for the peerless one. Only Young Master Ye is worthy of Miss Sona."

The crew members chattered, filled with the relief of having survived the ordeal.

While blushing, Sona also felt bewildered. ’How could I have known Ye Wushuang was an expert? I only let him travel with us because he had an extraordinary and distinguished air about him, and I didn’t sense any malice from him!’
