But soon, the situation began to change.

“What’s going on with the island? I saw some people fleeing by boat! Among them was the deputy leader of our Blood Blade Pirate Group!”

Aboard a Sea Pirate battleship, pirates noticed that at the edge of Ghost Island, pirates were fleeing into the sea as if running for their lives, some by boat, others simply swimming, towards their own pirate ships.

“What’s happening? What are you doing? Why such disarray?”

One pirate, who had swum from Ghost Island to the edge of a Sea Pirate ship, was hauled aboard with a rope. Pirates on the ship couldn’t help but ask, was there some problem that had them flee as if running for their lives?

The soaking wet pirate gasped for breath and screamed with terror in his eyes, “Dead… Leader Li Hun, Deputy Leader Li Fei, they’re both dead! Killed by Sikong Yong, as well as Tie Jinggang, Blood Leopard, and the others…”

“How is that possible?”

Upon hearing this, the pirates on the ship’s first thought was disbelief, but seeing the pirates at the edge of the island, including some leaders and deputy leaders of various pirate groups, they became somewhat dazed.

These twenty-odd Martial Artists in the Qi-Blood Realm, plus the hundreds of elites with weapons like the Divine Arm Crossbow, yet the result was their own side being killed and scattered in a rout, all by one person?

“Li Hun, Tie Jinggang, and Ghost Shadow Elder have all been slain by our Giant Whale Gang’s Gang Leader! The Gang Leader commands us! Kill! Wipe out all Sea Pirates, leave none behind!”

At that moment, at the edge of the island, Zhao Tianhuo mustered his True Qi and shouted loudly. His voice was thunderous, attracting the attention of many pirates.

At the edge of Ghost Island, a few people stood proudly, the leader among them was none other than ‘Sikong Yong’, unharmed, standing with his hands behind his back.

And beside him were Zhao Tianhuo and others.

Zhao Tianhuo, Sikong Huang, and the others all raised their hands high, each holding a bloody severed head!

“It’s… it’s Leader Li Hun! He’s truly dead!”

“And Tie Jinggang… wasn’t he famed as the Ninth Grand Thief, one of the foremost experts in the Blue Rain Sea?”

The pirates were astounded, those with Body Refinement Great Achievement had excellent eyesight and could see from afar that the heads held by Sikong Huang and others were indeed those of the leaders of the major pirate groups—they were really dead! Those experts who had surrounded Sikong Yong were either dead or had fled!

One man defeating a thousand? Could this really be achieved by human effort?

“Demon Monster… he’s simply a Demon Monster!”

There were pirates who had witnessed the great battle on Ghost Island and had managed to escape. They now trembled with shouts, fear unmistakable in their eyes.

“Blood Blade Pirate Group, all hands, retreat! Retreat!”

Meanwhile, a captain of a pirate group who had narrowly escaped from Su Changkong’s hands, gave the order to retreat.

They had originally planned to kill Sikong Yong and use his head to cause the Giant Whale Gang to surrender and collapse, but the result was the exact opposite. So many of their experts had been slaughtered by ‘Sikong Yong’ alone, scattering their forces, while the Giant Whale Gang used their heads to demoralize their troops. What was left to fight for?

“Retreat!”

The Blood Blade Pirate Group’s ships all broke away from the battlefield, changing direction, fleeing into the depths of the sea.

Defeat spreads like a domino effect; if one side is at a disadvantage and people start to flee, it would cause a chain reaction. These pirates all came from different pirate groups, it was impossible for them to be united as one.

“The leader’s dead… let’s retreat too!”

“Vajra Pirate Group, full retreat!”

Following the retreat and escape of the Blood Blade Pirate Group, successive pirate groups issued retreat orders, and the already tense battlefield became extremely tilted.

“The Gang Leader has slain Li Hun? The Young Gang Leader has also been rescued!”

“Don’t let any of them escape! Don’t let them run!”

On the side of the Giant Whale Gang, seeing the retreating pirates and hearing the triumphant news from Zhao Tianhuo, their morale soared.

The members had been worried about Sikong Yong going alone to the island to negotiate terms, but ‘Sikong Yong’ had not let them down. He had internally shattered the leaders of these pirates, causing them to scatter.

And now, it was time to crush the enemy while they were down!

“Blue Whale, intercept that warship ahead!”

The Giant Whale Gang’s morale was sky-high. Scouts monitored the movements of the pirate ships, and commanders like Sikong Wen, with rich combat experience, directed the warships to intercept and engage in combat.

Su Changkong stood at the edge of Ghost Island, observing the chaos on the distant seas, and he inwardly sighed, acknowledging that the prowess of one individual truly could decide the victory of a battle with thousands!

Although personal capacity was hard to demonstrate in naval combat, Su Changkong’s slaying of Li Hun and the other experts proved to be the decisive factor!

The sky grew darker, and in the waters near Ghost Island, fragments of pirate ships, as well as the bodies of pirates, floated, signaling the end of this battle.

In naval warfare, with the vastness of the sea and similar speeds of everyone’s ships, it was unrealistic to annihilate all pirate groups. But without a doubt, this was a grand victory, an unprecedented one at that!

A single power, the Giant Whale Gang, faced nearly ten pirate groups and yet vanquished and chased them away. This news, once spread, would surely elevate the reputation of the Giant Whale Gang even higher, ensuring no one in the Blue Rain Sea would dare oppose them.

“We won… Little Friend Su is truly the dragon among men. Yong Er, at his age, was nowhere near his equal…”

Sikong Wen looked on at Su Changkong’s calm demeanor and heaved a quiet sigh, thinking of his own son who had passed away, filled with a touch of melancholy.
