Investing in the Empress's junior sister, she broke through her defenses after comparison.

At that moment, the string of reason in his mind finally snapped.

He finally figured it out.

How did my third brother, Black Eyes, who was also at the half-step God King realm and whose strength was only slightly inferior to mine, die?

He did not die from an attack, nor from a sneak attack, nor from any malicious restriction.

Instead, he was casually crushed to death by the young man drinking in front of him in a way that he could not understand or even imagine!

Just like the poisonous mist he had just blown away, it was silent and without a trace.

This person... is not human at all! He's a monster! An ancient, ferocious god in human skin!

A fear originating from the depths of his soul instantly gripped the black snake's entire being. His bones creaked and groaned uncontrollably in the face of extreme terror.

escape!

Must escape!

The thought was growing wildly in his mind, but his legs felt like they were filled with lead, so heavy that he couldn't even move a single toe. He had no doubt that if he dared to make any move, he would follow in his third brother's footsteps in the next second.

A true hero is one who can bend and stretch.

These are the ironclad rules of survival that the Black Serpent has summarized after roaming the vast ocean and starry sea for thousands of years.

Face? Dignity? In the face of life, those are all bullshit!

In a flash, a smile, more painful than a grimace, was forced onto the black snake's deathly pale face. He bowed low, his posture so humble it was almost as if he were kneeling before the stars.

"Your Excellency! Your divine power is unparalleled! I was blind and ignorant before, and offended you!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped himself twice across the face.

"Crack! Crack!"

The crisp sound was particularly jarring in the deathly silent starry sky.

"It's true what they say, 'No fight, no friendship'! This is all a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding!" Black Snake lowered his posture to an extremely low level, and his fawning smile left the pirates behind him, who were still in shock, completely dumbfounded.

Is this... is this still their ruthless, cold-blooded second-in-command?

"If you are willing to show mercy and leave, Black Shark Island... Black Shark Island is willing to pay any price! Spirit stones, magic treasures, cultivation techniques—just name your price, and we will have no objections!"

Black Snake roared almost as if swearing an oath; all he wanted now was to get rid of this plague god as soon as possible.

Having provoked such an unfathomable and terrifying being, this is no longer a question of whether revenge is possible, but whether the entire Black Shark Island can continue to exist!

However, Ye Feng didn't even bother to lift his eyelids in the face of his humble pleas.

He simply shook the purple-gold wine gourd in his hand, seemingly checking the little wine left inside, before uttering a few words in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Leaving is impossible."

The smile on Black Snake's face froze instantly.

Ye Feng continued, "I have come here to destroy your Black Shark Island."

His words were simple, yet they contained an undeniable domineering and resolute attitude!

boom!

These words, like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploded in the minds of Black Serpent and all the pirates!

They...they've come to destroy the island?!

"That's right, that's right, my senior brother is absolutely right!"

Xiao Baiyu peeked out from behind the ship's railing with a charming smile. She gripped the edge of the ship with both hands, her beautiful eyes curving into pretty crescents as she made a face at the black snake.

"You villains have committed countless evils in the vast ocean of stars, and you should have been expelled from the fold long ago!"

Murong Qingqing also took a step forward. A chilling coldness appeared on her serene face. She gently stroked the Gu worm jade bracelet on her wrist and spoke softly.

"My Gu worms are already very hungry. You Black Shark Island are dreaming if you think we can just leave like this."
