Chapter 10: Fierce Battle with the Black Saber Pirate Group

Chen Qing's lack of deference suddenly darkened Black Blade's face, and had he been from Hua Country, he probably would have scolded her.

"If you don't drink a toast, you must drink a penalty!"

Black Blade quickly drew the long sword at his waist, and since this was the case... a cruel smile appeared on Black Blade's face.

"Then let's sell this wretch to Slave Island."

A talented mechanic slave can be sold for at least one thousand goldfish.

I believe the staff on Slave Island will teach her how to write the word 'obedience' properly.

Black Blade met Chen Qing's swinging blade, for the weapon all pirates in the Black Saber Pirate Group were most skilled with was the long sword.

Their captain, Black Blade, was a master among them.

However, the moment the long swords in Black Blade and Chen Qing's hands collided, Black Blade immediately felt a powerful force that numbed his wrist.

The sword in his hand was nearly shaken loose!

The woman's strength was terrifying, something Black Blade hadn't expected.

The three who had died by her hand earlier hadn't died unjustly.

As the saying goes, sheer power can overcome any technique, and the difference in strength between Chen Qing and Black Blade could completely make up for the difference in their skills.

The blades traced fierce arcs through the air, cutting through the howling sea breeze and the space between them.

Their long swords clashed rapidly, and the sounds of metal striking metal rang out on the cramped deck.

The entire scene was as intense as a flash of lightning, with blade shadows flashing suddenly, like two fierce beasts engaged in a vicious fight.

But a young, strong beast and an old, injured beast are not on the same level.

One pressed forward relentlessly while the other was forced to retreat step by step; Chen Qing's blade was extremely sharp and particularly ruthless, nearly striking Black Blade's head several times.

In the face of an enemy, Chen Qing never showed mercy.

Chen Qing's dominance made Black Blade's breathing rapid, sweat the size of beans dripping from his forehead.

His internal organs had suffered severe damage, Chen Qing's strength was truly terrifying.

Especially with a mechanical arm installed, Chen Qing handled mechanics with ease, using even a utility-type mechanical arm to achieve an attacking effect.

When a natural mechanic meets a mechanical creation, it's an explosive effect where one plus one is far greater than two!

Black Blade's strength was actually above Chen Qing's, but by the time she encountered him, all surviving members of the pirate ship had been seriously injured.

They even had suffered the sea's curse because Chen Qing saved a little girl, and continuous travel had left them utterly exhausted.

Chen Qing's strength had indeed far exceeded Black Blade's expectations, whether it was in strength, agility, or reflexes.

Even if facing a prime Black Blade, Chen Qing might not lose, let alone the current Black Blade.

Facing Chen Qing's increasingly fierce and spirited attacks, Black Blade was clearly at a disadvantage.

However, for some reason, none of the other pirates who had entered the triangle sail appeared, and it was known that if this continued, Black Blade would soon die under Chen Qing's blade.

Black Blade knew these rascals too well; they simply wanted to wait until he and this woman were both injured, then come out to reap the spoils.

The fewer people there were, the better the bounty.

"Kid, let me go, you can take all the money, supplies, and that little wretch from the ship!"

Black Blade panted heavily, trying to make Chen Qing let him go, numerous fresh cuts from Chen Qing already bleeding on his body.

Chen Qing remained silent, observing all the signs that her ship had been bombarded, the gunwales and railings visibly cracked.

"Dream on."

Chen Qing said each word distinctly, a rare cold smile appearing on her face.

Killing him, all these things would be hers anyway.

Moreover, these pirates... were cannibals!

Chen Qing would never let them go!

The long sword in her hand slashed down fiercely, aiming directly at Black Blade's face!

"Clang—!"

A sudden metallic humming sound erupted, followed by Black Blade's agonizing howl.

His arm tumbled onto the deck and fell through a crack blasted open by cannon fire into the cabin below.

Compared to losing his life, losing an arm was still a decent outcome for Black Blade.

Just as Black Blade nearly lost his life, the scum inside the cabin who were full from food and drink tardily made their way to reluctantly save their pitiful captain.

Four pirates emerged in succession, the earlier metal sound was caused by their steel marbles.

Chen Qing casually withdrew her sword and gave them a faint glance.

The old man was not there.

These few pirates were of no consequence to Chen Qing, nor had Black Blade ever regarded them as such.

For Chen Qing and Black Blade, what was really to be feared was that old man who hadn't shown himself at all.

Black Blade clutched his severed limb, his gaze sinister. The most dangerous dogs don't bark, and that old man Demong was the most dangerous of them all.

Demong was the ship's doctor, but occasionally he also acted as a fighter, his strength only second to Black Blade.

The four pirates saw that Chen Qing's attention was not on them but instead searching for something else, and their smiles immediately faltered.

This damn wretch actually dared to look down on them!

All the crew members on the Black Saber Pirate Ship were loathsome bugs, constantly suppressed by Black Blade, and what they hated most was being looked down upon!

"I'll kill you...!"

The pirates clenched their teeth and, brandishing their swords, charged at Chen Qing.

A mocking smile appeared on Black Blade's face, this rabble was not even a match for that wench with two slashes.

Indeed, it was true.

Chen Qing's gaze dropped as she watched the group of pirates charging at her, her long sword held horizontally in front of her, its cold light reflecting her icy countenance.

Four pirates surrounded Chen Qing completely, their swords swinging towards her all at once.

She remained unflustered and calm, lifting her right hand as the long sword instantly switched to her left.

Her mechanical arm blocked two of the pirates, and with a flick of her wrist, the swords of the other two pirates were deflected upward into the sky.

Holding a weapon made them like lambs to the slaughter, let alone now that they had lost their weapons.

The sharp blades grazed their necks, slicing open blood vessels as blood spurted out, with the pirates making reluctant grunting noises.

"!!!"

The remaining two pirates were terrified, having not expected Chen Qing to handle four opponents so effortlessly!

By now it was too late to flee; Chen Qing caught the two long swords falling from the sky and casually threw them towards the direction the pirates were running.

Right on target!

The long swords pierced through their hearts, and the two pirates fell down stiffly.

In an instant, all four pirates were annihilated.

[Survivor Chen Qing...]

The system announcement rang out again, but before Chen Qing could listen to the content of the announcement, a terrifying danger suddenly loomed behind her!
