Chapter 733 732: Beitang Fengyun

Jiang Chen's Divine Thought swept outside the ship's cabin.

At that moment, the North King's warship was being besieged by several thousand other warships, each one armed with powerful Spirit Crystal Shells.

RUMBLE!

Shells rained down, causing the North King Warship to shudder violently.

The Protective Array outside the warship flared with light, looking as if it could be shattered by the Spirit Crystal Shells at any moment.

On the deck, the Four Great Pirate Kings of Southeast, Northwest, Yao Yueye, Zuo Yu, Little White, the Little Dragon Maiden, and Xiaoyou all wore solemn expressions.

The North King, in particular, was in a bad state. His face was deathly pale, and a trickle of blood escaped the corner of his mouth. He sat cross-legged on the deck as the East King worked to heal him.

"Hahaha! North King, you traitor, willingly sinking so low as to become someone's lapdog. Did you really think your deeds would escape the notice of the Beitang Clan? From this day forward, North King Island belongs to me, Beitang Fengyun!" an arrogant voice boomed from the sky.

On the surrounding warships, the Spirit Crystal Shells began to glow with ever-increasing brilliance.

The North King was so enraged he spat out a mouthful of blood. "Beitang Fengyun, you despicable scoundrel! You took advantage of my absence from North King Island to usurp my power?"

The North King was backed by the Beitang Clan from Zhongzhou.

This Beitang Clan was merely an Unranked family in Zhongzhou, but its strength was still extremely formidable. None of the ten Overlord powers of the Azure Sky Sea would be a match for the Beitang Clan in a one-on-one confrontation.

However, the Four Great Holy Lands had an agreement that forbade any outside powers from interfering in the power struggles of the Azure Sky Sea.

For this reason, the Beitang Clan had simply backed the North King, relying on him as a constant source of wealth.

This Beitang Fengyun was a genius from the Beitang Clan—a Four Extremes Genius who had previously served only as the Vice Island Master of North King Island.

What the North King hadn't expected was that while he was away, Beitang Fengyun had slaughtered the experts loyal to him and seized control of North King Island.

Beitang Fengyun sneered. "You dare insult me? Hmph. You're nothing but a dog belonging to my Beitang Clan, yet you have the audacity to form your own faction and plot to escape our control. Today, I will take your head! From this day forward, on North King Island, only I, Beitang Fengyun, shall rule!"

"Men, put your backs into it! Kill the North King, and I'll lead you to glory across the Azure Sky Sea!" Beitang Fengyun roared.

"Kill!"

"Kill the North King and follow Young Master Beitang! We'll live lives of luxury!"

The pirates of North King Island all roared in agreement.

The roars shook the heavens.

Killing intent surged to the heavens.

Just as the Spirit Crystal Shells were about to fire again, an incomparably brilliant sword light burst from the cabin. It was a blade of immense sharpness that seemed to tear the very sky asunder. It swept out, and in an instant, the peerless Sword Aura engulfed more than a dozen pirate ships surrounding the North King Warship.

Reducing them to nothing!

GASP!

Every pirate from North King Island stared in horror, and Beitang Fengyun's face changed drastically.

At the same time, an indifferent voice drifted from the North King Warship. "You want to destroy the North King? Did you ask for my permission?"

SWOOSH!

Space itself seemed to tremble as Jiang Chen's figure emerged, stepping through the air to stand upon the bow of the North King Warship.

His eyes were as deep as the starry night, and his gaze burned with an icy light.

One man, one sword.

The sight sent a chill down the spines of the pirates on the thousands of surrounding warships.

Beitang Fengyun's gaze hardened. Staring intently at Jiang Chen, he said in a low voice, "So you're the Jiang Chen who made the North King betray the Beitang Clan?"

"Who do you think you are, to speak my name?" Jiang Chen shot him a glance and said.

The North King had already acknowledged him as his master, which made him one of his own.

For Beitang Fengyun to dare and severely injure the North King... that was a direct affront to him.

Jiang Chen, of course, was not about to be polite.

Beitang Fengyun's expression shifted multiple times before he snorted coldly. "It seems the rumors were true. You really are arrogant. You must not know how powerful the Beitang Clan is. Let me tell you... if we were in Zhongzhou, my Clan could annihilate your Heaven's Edge Sea Pavilion with a single breath!"

An arrogant look spread across Beitang Fengyun's face.

Zhongzhou was a vast and bountiful land, overflowing with talent and spiritual energy.

Even a mere Third-class family from Zhongzhou possessed power that the Azure Sky Sea could never hope to compare with!

The proof was right there: Beitang Fengyun was a Four Extremes Genius at the Emperor Realm Peak, yet the Beitang Clan had merely dispatched him to the Azure Sky Sea to supervise the North King.

But so what if the Beitang Clan was strong?

Jiang Chen sneered. "And you're well aware that's in Zhongzhou. Too bad for you, this is the Azure Sky Sea."

"Hm?"

Beitang Fengyun froze.

His expression flickered, then turned frigid. He sneered, "So you've made up your mind to oppose the Beitang Clan. In that case, don't blame me for what comes next. Once I've defeated you, I'll execute every last one of your subordinates right in front of your eyes. I'll make you understand the miserable fate that awaits anyone who crosses the Beitang Clan!"

The moment his voice fell,

Beitang Fengyun suddenly attacked. His strike descended with Thunderous Force, carrying a terrifying Destructive Power.

RUMBLE!

His entire body transformed into a ferocious demonic fowl, erupting in a colossal pillar of light that shot toward Jiang Chen.

A Four Extremes Genius at the Emperor Realm Peak.

His power was just a hair's breadth shy of an Azure Sky Sea Overlord like Yebo!

"Young Master Beitang is brilliant and mighty, utterly Unrivaled!"

"When Young Master Beitang attacks, the heavens fall and the earth cracks..."

The pirates of North King Island all roared.

A smirk played on Jiang Chen's lips. He instantly summoned the Ancient Azure Dragon Sword. With a SWISH, it transformed into a blood-red arc of light and slashed violently toward Beitang Fengyun.

A colossal beam of sword light instantly filled the sky.

Upon the sword light, radiant energy pulsed.

Massive Sword Palaces materialized, each one radiating a sharp aura that pierced the heavens as the blade descended.

BOOM...

The world shook violently.

Beitang Fengyun's True Essence Shield was shattered in an instant. The sword strike continued on with unstoppable momentum, crashing down upon him.

It struck Beitang Fengyun squarely in the chest.

"Gah!"

Beitang Fengyun let out a wretched scream.

He was sent flying backward, blood spraying from his mouth as Jiang Chen's single strike left him gravely wounded. Covered in blood and with his hair in disarray, he was a gory mess. All of his former arrogance was gone. He shot a terrified glance at Jiang Chen, then his figure flashed, transforming into a streak of Flowing Light as he fled into the distance.

An indignant roar echoed from the horizon. "Jiang Chen, you just wait! The Beitang Clan won't let you get away with this!"

"Running? Since you came all this way, you can stay!"

A smirk touched Jiang Chen's lips.

With a beat of his five pairs of light wings, he shot forward, catching up to Beitang Fengyun in the blink of an eye.

He stomped down from the air.

BANG!

The kick landed squarely on Beitang Fengyun's face, smashing him out of the air and sending him crashing into the sea below.

Jiang Chen conjured a massive True Essence Hand, which seized Beitang Fengyun and lifted him into the air. Jiang Chen grabbed him by the neck, his eyes glinting coldly. "What was that you were saying... about not letting me get away with this?"

At this moment,

Beitang Fengyun was scared witless. Faced with the threat of death, all his previous arrogance and confidence vanished. He completely crumbled, shouting, "Jiang—ah, no, Master! I, Beitang Fengyun, am willing to serve you as my master! I beg you, spare my life, Master!"
