Haidar pleaded, "Don't kill me. I'm just following orders. My ship belongs to the Purple Pearl Pirate Group, and we have to complete our monthly tasks."
Ye Yu asked, "Where is your lair? How many of you are there?"
"Our Purple Pearl Pirate Group is on Purple Pearl Island, two days' journey from here. Over the years, under the leadership of Captain Purple Pearl, we have assimilated and destroyed all the small pirate groups in this sea. Our organization has grown to over three thousand people, with more than three hundred Soul Masters. Our captain is a seventy-third level Soul Saint, very strong and young, only thirty-seven years old, well-maintained and looks like she's in her twenties, very beautiful."
Ye Yu said coldly, "Take us to Sea God Island, and don't try any tricks, or you'll wish you were dead."
Haidar nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay!"
Haidar sailed the ship, but he was sneering inside, "I'll lead you to Purple Pearl Island! You'll bury my crew with your lives!"
Two days passed, and Haidar's ship approached an island.
Tang San frowned, "Where is this?"
Haidar sneered, "You're doomed! You'd better release me and then join us, that way you can be spared. You've entered the territory of our Purple Pearl Pirate Group! If you dare to kill me, you'll all die, so you can only release me and then join us."
Ye Yu frowned slightly, not expecting this turn of events, but so be it.
"Then you can die."
A cold light flashed in Ye Yu's eyes, and Haidar's face changed dramatically, completely unprepared for this.
"This is our territory, don't you want to live?"
He thought Ye Yu and others would compromise, but he didn't expect them to want to kill him.
"Don't want to live? Since you brought us here, we might as well deal with all your people too."
Haidar laughed, "Just with you? Your strongest is only a Soul Emperor, while our Captain Purple Pearl is a Soul Saint! Plus over three hundred Soul Masters!"
Meanwhile, on Purple Pearl Island, the pirates detected the commotion and gathered together.
Over three hundred Soul Masters gathered, led by a woman who was somewhat seductive-looking but couldn't compare in figure to Zhu Zhuqing or in beauty to Ning Rongrong.
"Hey, kid, see that? Over three hundred Soul Masters, I didn't lie to you." Haidar breathed a sigh of relief, feeling assured.
Purple Pearl said coldly, "Release the man."
She had encountered this situation before. Sometimes her subordinates failed and deliberately brought the enemy here, and she always had no choice but to release them without allowing them to join, believing in the saying that if they're not our kind, they must have different hearts. So after looting the goods, they'd kill them.
Ye Yu jumped off the ship alone, leaving the Purple Pearl Pirate Group puzzled, wondering if he came to negotiate.
Purple Pearl said, "As long as you release the man, we won't kill you, and you can join us for mutual growth. But if you dare kill him, then all of you will die. Which will you choose? I don't need to tell you, right?"
Ye Yu said indifferently, "I choose all of you to die."
Upon hearing this, Purple Pearl was stunned, and the pirate crowd was also stunned, then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, make us all die?"
"Does he not see the situation?"
"We've got over three hundred people, plus the captain. Even with this lineup, we can besiege and kill a Soul Douluo, and he thinks these young ones can match us?"
"Truly ridiculous."
...
Ye Yu corrected, "I alone can take care of you all."
Ye Yu's words only elicited more laughter from the others, but Ye Yu said nothing more and instead reached behind him with his right hand, gripping the Unbeatable.
Without releasing his Martial Soul, Ye Yu used the Origin of Evil, black air swirling out, his arms bulking up and lengthening into Dragon Arms, dragon horns sprouting from his head.
Seeing this, the Purple Pearl Pirate Group was shocked.
"What's happening? He's showing dragon characteristics?"
"A Martial Soul? But why no Soul Rings?"
"Could he not be human?"
They were baffled but still unafraid, as Ye Yu looked very young, at best fifty-something level in their eyes, while they had over three hundred people.
Ye Yu, wielding the Dragon Claw of the Unbeatable, swept forth, instantly changing the pirates' expressions.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!
In that sweeping instant, the ground erupted, a terrifying power surged forth, and amidst horrific screams, over three hundred Soul Masters were swept into the air like fallen leaves, their bodies shredded by the power storm, leaving no intact bodies.
Even a seventy-second level Soul Saint releasing a Martial Soul to fully resist was to no avail. Even without a Martial Soul, Ye Yu's strike bore the strength of about an eighty-fifth level.
Too sudden was the attack, and too quick was the power's sweep, leaving the three hundred Soul Masters no time to resist. If prepared to fully release their Martial Souls and powerfully resist, they wouldn't have all died instantly.
With stones and dust settled, the Purple Pearl Pirate Group had vanished, leaving only shredded corpses and blood staining the earth.
On the deck, Haidar stood frozen, his smile stiffening on his face, eyes wide, body trembling, unable to believe.
"This... how is this possible..."
Swoosh!
Ye Yu flashed over, sneering, "Do you understand now?"
Ye Yu casually slapped, sending Haidar flying into the air. The terrifying power surged into his body, causing him to explode midair, pieces dropping into the sea, quickly swarmed by fish.
Ye Yu and the others went ashore. Besides over three hundred Soul Masters, the Purple Pearl Pirate Group had over two thousand ordinary people.
"Thank you for saving us!"
The islanders ran out, kneeling in deep gratitude.
They explained, "We were originally islanders living at sea, but they took over, and we had to yield under their oppression. We haven't done anything heinous, please don't misunderstand us."
They kept explaining, afraid of being seen as accomplices, with the Purple Pearl Pirate Group forcing them into labor, cooking, and more.
Ma Hongjun said, "That's just one side of your story, something said just to save your necks, isn't it?"
"It's true what they say."
From a small wooden hut walked out two people, a young man and a woman, the man of average appearance, the woman fairly pretty.
Ye Yu and others felt these two were not ordinary, composed and detached, showing no worldly air.
The young man introduced, "I'm Jixiang, and this is my sister Ruyi. We're from Sea God Island."
Master had mentioned before that the people from Sea God Island are kind-hearted.
"You're from Sea God Island? Then why are you here?" Tang San asked.
Ye Yu knew about Jixiang and Ruyi, and indeed they were.
An emotion flashed in the young man's eyes, turning dim, "I was born on Sea God Island, lived there until I was ten. Because I have Innate Zero Soul Power, and to live on Sea God Island, one must pass a test at eighteen. Knowing I couldn't pass, I left at ten. I learned medicine from uncles and aunties on the island, so I came here to work as a doctor."
Tang San thought they could talk more, as being from Sea God Island, they might provide some help. After all, they didn't know much about Sea God Island.
