Chapter Eleven: Annihilate Them

Three men, all at the Divine General level, each with a murderous aura.
From the aura emanating from them, it was clear they were waging a brutal massacre against another pirate gang on the island, their murderous intent so intense it caused a piercing pain in one’s soul.
Hearing the words of the burly man, Zhu Chen immediately turned to Qing Wugui, waiting for his decision.
Qing Wugui was the king of the second stronghold, and Zhu Chen, as the leader of the main stronghold, understood his status well.
“Pirates of Star Sea Island, are you part of the Ten Thousand Islands Pirate Gang?” Qing Wugui asked with a smile, calm and unafraid.
Before arriving in the Inner Sea, Qu Yi had also received some information from the God of Weapons: there were three powerful pirate gangs in the Inner Sea—the first being the Sea Emperor Pirate Gang, the second the Sea Devouring Pirate Gang, and the third the Ten Thousand Islands Pirate Gang.
The Ten Thousand Islands Pirate Gang was actually an alliance of ten thousand individual pirate gangs spread across the entire Inner Sea.
Moreover, any pirate gang within this alliance would include the word “island” in its name to denote its affiliation and to intimidate other pirate gangs in the Inner Sea.
Any pirate gang that attacked one of these gangs would face attacks from all of the Ten Thousand Islands Pirates.
Seeing Qing Wugui’s demeanor, the three men’s murderous intent surged again. They were in the midst of a killing spree and had no patience to talk for long with Qing Wugui, Zhu Chen, and the others. Their hearts filled with cruelty and ferocity at their calm, smiling expressions.
“It seems you want to interfere in the affairs of our Star Sea Island Pirate Gang. Very well, then hand over your lives today,” declared the burly man.
Disliking hesitation, they immediately launched into battle—this was the way of life for the pirate gangs in the Inner Sea.
The three men dashed forward in an instant, moving left, right, and straight toward Qing Wugui, Zhu Chen, and the three leaders at the Divine General level.
A sharp glint appeared in Qing Wugui’s eyes as his aura changed dramatically, filled with murderous intent that seemed almost tangible, aimed straight at the burly man flying toward him.
The Heart of Asura—something Qing Wugui hadn’t used in a long time—was now unleashed in full force.
The invisible murderous aura locked onto the burly man, directly disrupting the flow of his divine essence, preventing him from summoning his spirit body to attack.

What was even more terrifying was that the burly man felt as though his soul space was on the verge of collapsing. A chill ran through his heart as he stared in fear at Qing Wu Gui, while his body struggled to stop and fly away.
“You are doomed,” Qing Wu Gui said calmly.
Suddenly, Qing Wu Gui vanished as if through a spatial jump and reappeared right in front of the burly man. With a gentle swing of his long sword, he severed the man’s head.
The Asura Heart unleashed a fierce killing aura, causing the burly man’s soul space to collapse instantly.
Qing Wu Gui collected the thirty drops of essence blood left in the burly man’s body. Standing coldly in the air, he watched the other two men flying toward Zhu Chen and the others.
“What…?”
The two leaders of the pirate clans were horrified to see Qing Wu Gui kill their leader so easily. The burly man had been the strongest among the three, with three million aggregated spirit entities in his body, yet he was utterly defeated before Qing Wu Gui.
Not only were these two terrified, but Zhu Chen and the other three Divine General-level clan leaders also showed expressions of shock at Qing Wu Gui’s extraordinary prowess.
Could someone at the level of a Killing Divine General be defeated so easily?
Qing Wu Gui’s strength completely overturned everyone’s previous perceptions. They could hardly believe it and stood silently in the air, their gazes fixed on him.
“Second Clan King, well done!”
“Second Clan King, you’re truly our god!”
“Second Clan King, there are still two left—please deal with them too.”
…
Instantly, the Divine Being-level pirates on the flying sea ships cheered loudly, eager to witness another display of Qing Wu Gui’s strength.
Then, the two Divine General-level pirate clan leaders still in the air realized the situation. Not only could they not kill Qing Wu Gui or Zhu Chen and the others, but they themselves had now become prey.
“Don’t be arrogant. We’re part of the Ten Thousand Islands Pirate Clan. You dared kill our leader—now you’ll face the pursuit of the entire clan. Now, quickly reveal your names and come with me to the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance to atone. Otherwise, your sect and family will also be slaughtered by us,” one of the two, a tall and thin man, shouted bravely.
Qing Wu Gui slightly shook his head, sighed, then shot a sharp glint from his eyes, sentencing the two to death.
“You talk so much. Hand over your lives,” Qing Wu Gui said calmly.

As soon as he spoke, Qing Wu Gui flashed like lightning and appeared in front of the man who had just spoken. With a smile on his face, he already held a long sword in his hand, pointing it at the man’s neck.

Hiss!

Everyone took a deep breath of cold air. They never expected that Qing Wu Gui’s strength was only a fraction of what he could truly do. His speed was comparable to teleportation, allowing him to put his enemy in a desperate situation with just one move.

“No… you can’t kill me! Our Ten Islands Pirate Gang dominates the inland seas and seeks revenge for every slight. Think carefully!” The tall, thin man cried out in panic, trying to save his life.

Qing Wu Gui didn’t bother to reply. With a swift yet precise strike from his sword, he severed the man’s neck. Before the head could even fly off, the killing intent emanating from his Xiu Luo Heart shattered the man’s soul space, completely ending his life.

Undoubtedly, the remaining pirate at the Divine General level was terrified by seeing Qing Wu Gui kill without batting an eye and do so so efficiently. He started trembling and even knelt in mid-air.

“I… hero, I beg you to spare me! I’m willing to be your slave and submit to your soul control. Hero, I haven’t sent your information to the Ten Islands Alliance yet. As long as I stay silent, they won’t retaliate against you!” The man cried out in fear.

Qing Wu Gui shook his head and flashed over to the man’s side, pressing the sword against his neck.

“The Ten Islands Alliance will soon disappear. From now on, the inland seas will belong to our Tian Feng Pirate Gang. I’ll give you a chance—send my information to the Ten Islands Alliance, so they can avenge your Xing Hai Dao Pirate Gang,” Qing Wu Gui said calmly.

Such arrogance terrified the man even more. Like a bird startled by a bowstring, he looked up at Qing Wu Gui in fear, tears streaming down his face.

“Hero… hero… please spare me! I’m willing to be your slave! Can’t you even spare me?” The man struggled one last time, clinging to a sliver of hope.

Whoosh!

In the midst of silence, a flash of light appeared. Qing Wu Gui’s sword swept down, severing the man’s head. The next moment, the head was shattered by the killing intent he had unleashed.

“A cultivator must have a fearless heart. Being so afraid of death wastes the primal energy of the five elements,” Qing Wu Gui said calmly as he sheathed his sword.

Zhu Chen and the other four leaders at the Divine General level, along with those over five hundred pirates at the Divine Being level, were all stunned by Qing Wu Gui’s series of actions. They froze in mid-air, speechless for a long time, their hearts filled with turmoil they could not calm.

Qing Wu Gui calmly glanced at Zhu Chen and the others, then smiled and said, “It’s nothing. You’ll see my performances again in the future. Now let’s go down and eliminate all the members of the Star Sea Island Pirate Gang.”

For the operation to purge the inner sea, Qu Yi had already planned everything—eliminating all existing pirate gangs without leaving a single survivor.

Rather than spending too much time establishing order, Qu Yi intended to use the bloodiest, most ruthless, and most effective methods to force Tianfeng Fort to relocate entirely, thereby unifying the entire inner sea.

The divine realm was always like this—status determined by strength. Especially in the inner sea, where pirate gangs were active, they always fought to the death. So Qu Yi had no qualms about ruling the inner sea with overwhelming force.

Upon hearing Qing Wu Gui’s words, Zhu Chen and the others immediately calmed down.

“Yes, Second Fort King,” they replied in unison, their voices firm and filled with admiration.

With his decisiveness, brutality, and strength, Qing Wu Gui completely conquered everyone’s hearts.

Immediately afterward, Qing Wu Gui descended straight onto the island, while Zhu Chen and the other four leaders, along with the five hundred pirates on the flying sea ship, followed closely behind and landed on the island as well.

On the island, members of two pirate gangs were fighting each other at that moment.

Seeing this, Qing Wu Gui, Zhu Chen, and the others immediately understood that the Star Sea Island Pirate Gang had come to massacre another pirate gang and had already killed its leader and others. Now, it was the Divine Being level members of the two gangs fighting to determine who would prevail.

On the Star River battlefield, most cultivators at the Divine Weapon level had died, leaving few such cultivators among the pirate gangs in the inner sea.

When the two fighting pirate gang members saw Qing Wu Gui, Zhu Chen, and the others arrive, their eyes were filled with surprise. They stopped fighting and stared at them in confusion.

“Who are you? Our three leaders just left. If you’re sensible, leave quickly. The Star Sea Island Pirate Gang won’t pursue you,” shouted a burly man, raising his sword.

Before his words could finish, the man’s head was severed from his body.

Qing Wu Gui had simply swung his sword lightly to kill the man, his face remaining calm, as if nothing had happened.

“You don’t need to fight each other either, because the Tianfeng Pirate Gang is coming—everyone of you will die,” Qing Wugui said with a faint smile.
Zhu Chen had already landed. Hearing Qing Wugui’s words, he immediately waved his hand and shouted, “Eliminate them.”
