I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

And trailing behind the sea monster, a strange small light blue boat seemed to be towing.

"Quickly, cut down the sea creature!"

The leader of the Blood Dagger Bandits roared in rage.

This sea monster seemed to be charging toward the big ship.

The sudden turn of events allowed the Refining God Martial Artists on board the big ship, who had prepared themselves to be captured, to suddenly look elated. After a quick exchange of whispers, they instantly ascended into the air, jointly escaping in a certain direction.

Better to seize this opportunity and flee than to leave one's fate in the hands of the Blood Dagger Bandits!

The twenty-something Refining God Martial Artists combined their efforts to storm out. The Blood Dagger Bandits in that direction frowned in panic, hurrying to sidestep the assault.

"You're dead!"

The furious leader of the Blood Dagger Bandits flung his hand and roared, "Kill them!"

Whoosh!

A squad of Blood Dagger Bandits brandished their blades and moved forward, eager to slaughter the fleeing Refining God Martial Artists. Two of the bandits raised their blades and sliced towards the sea monster in mid-air with a bloody light.

This sea monster was no pushover. Its thick skin and durable frame were shockingly defensive, and it was unlikely to be killed with one strike.

Xu Yan, who was cultivating at the time, opened his eyes in surprise. The sea monster was actually attempting to ram the ship, wanting to use this as an opportunity to escape.

"It really knows how to use its environment to avoid danger."

Xu Yan mumbled under his breath.

Seeing two bloody blade lights slashing towards the sea monster, Xu Yan gave his fishing rod a flick, and the sea creature, which was initially leaping into the air about to crash onto the big ship, was suddenly yanked back by him.

The two blade lights instantly missed their target.

"Sorry, I've disturbed you all with the sea creature I'm fishing!"

Xu Yan apologized, opening his mouth to speak.

The marine escape boat flew upwards, he waved his hand, and a divine origin surged up, lifting the sea creature mid-air and flew up above the big ship.

"Robbery, leave the sea creature and that small boat!"

All of a sudden, a figure blocked his path, a long, blood-red blade in hand.

At the sound of this furious roar, all the Blood Dagger Bandits, including those who were preparing to chase and kill the Refining God Martial Artists, quickly returned and encircled Xu Yan.

The leader of the Blood Dagger Bandits' eyes shone as he stared fixedly at the marine escape boat, a treasure upon first glance!

Fast and capable of flying, if they got their hands on this treasure, then the Blood Dagger Bandits would become even more elusive.

Xu Yan was taken aback, a robbery?

"Are you sure you want to rob me?"

He glanced at the crowd of Blood Dagger Bandits that were closing in and asked.

"Youngster, we Blood Dagger Bandits always have our principles. Leave the sea creature and the boat and you can go. We won't take your life. Otherwise, there will be one more corpse on this Azure Sea!"

The leader of the Blood Dagger Bandits spoke with a grave voice.

Xu Yan chuckled. Pirates also have principles?

Cai Ling'er had once told him that the Azure Sea is home to a few pirates, though rarely encountered, there were only a few incidents of them ransacking and killing each year.

Of course, for Xu Yan, pirates were naturally no threat. Cai Ling'er just happened to mention them while introducing the Azure Sea.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't been in the Azure Sea long before he encountered pirates attempting a robbery.

"I am also a man of principle."

Xu Yan looked at the crowd of Blood Dagger Bandits, revealing a smile. "Hand over your bags of loot, and I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, I'll have your bones ground to dust and your souls extinguished!"

All of the Blood Dagger Bandits froze, their faces filled with disbelief.

What did this kid mean?

Robs them in return?

One man robbing a crowd?

Where did he get the courage?

"Good, good, good, in my life as a Blood Dagger, I've never met someone as arrogant as you. One against many, flipping the tables and robbing us?

"Such bravery, such arrogance. Although I admire youngsters like you very much, but…"

Smack!

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a slap on his cheek. The leader of the Blood Dagger Bandits flew out, his head felt dizzy, seeing stars.

"Enough talk, hand over your bags of loot if you don't want to get robbed!"

Xu Yan said with a cold smile.

Gulp!

The Blood Dagger Bandits stared in horror.

"Did you see him make a move just now?"

"No, I only saw the leader fly out."

"Me neither!"

The Blood Dagger Bandits started whispering, their hearts sinking.

"You little bastard, I want you dead!"

The leader of the Blood Dagger Bandits shook his head vigorously, roaring in anger and exploding with a murderous aura as the bloody blade light blossomed.

"Everyone, attack! Kill him!"

Although he was surprised, he remained calm. There was strength in numbers, and no matter how powerful the enemy was, could they ever stand against their combined forces?

Whoosh!

However, just as he finished speaking, a ray of sword light descended in the blink of an eye, vanishing him into oblivion.

The rest of the Blood Dagger Pirates, who were about to attack, became instantly cold. Their boss had been one-shotted?

Even if they attacked together, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

They were indeed pirates but not desperadoes. Even if they won, who could guarantee that they would not fall during the struggle?

Moreover, with their boss dead, they were now like a snake without a head.

"Don't attack! Young hero, don't attack! We'll hand over our possession bags, our possession bags!"

The Blood Dagger Pirates were sweating bullets.

"That's more like it. I'm not fond of killing. Just hand over your livesaving money."

Xu Yan said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, yes!"

The Blood Dagger Pirates handed over their possession bags one after another, a look of pain etched on their faces.

As pirates, all their belongings were with them. Everything in their possession bags represented all their accumulated wealth.

Once they handed them over, they would be left with nothing!

Xu Yan waved his hand, collected all the possession bags, and pointed at a few of the Blood Dagger Pirates saying, "Hand over your hidden possession bags, or die!"

The named Blood Dagger Pirates looked pained but could only obediently hand over their secondary possession bags.

"Alright. You may all scram now!"

Xu Yan waved his hand dismissively.

"Yes, yes!"

The Blood Dagger Pirates nodded frantically, turning around to leave.

Xu Yan waved his hand, and the sea beast under his control plunged into the sea. He planned to continue having the sea beast pulling his boat and save some spirit crystals.

"Watch out for the Blood Dagger Pirates!"

A woman's voice came from the big boat.

"Die!"

Spotting an apparent opportunity, the Blood Dagger Pirates who were preparing to flee seized the moment of Xu Yan's relaxation, and viciously raised their blades.

They had quietly agreed to attack all at once. The blood-red blade light illuminated half the sky, gearing up for a deadly assault that would completely engulf Xu Yan.

The Blood Dagger Pirates' faces twisted with ferocity. They were accustomed to robbing others, how could they be robbed themselves?

The girl on the boat daringly raised the alarm. After killing this lad, they decided, they would show her the brutality of the Blood Dagger Pirates.

"Why rush to your death?"

Xu Yan sighed, lifted two fingers and slashed backward. A ray of sword light emerged, spanning the sky, shattering all attacks.

As the blade light dispersed, the sword light came slashing forward. In an instant, the sword light divided into dozens of strands, each one aimed at a Blood Dagger Pirate.

Whoosh!

Under the horrified eyes of the Blood Dagger Pirates, the sword light fell, reducing them to ashes.

The martial artists aboard the big boat were flabbergasted.

Especially the woman who gave the warning. She had immediately regretted her action and had mentally prepared to be tormented by the Blood Dagger Pirates until death.

However, not only had that man single-handedly robbed a group of people, but he had also exterminated the Blood Dagger Pirates with a stroke of his sword!

She knew that these Blood Dagger Pirates were at the peak of the Refining God stage.

Destroying a group of thieves with a wave of his hand, how formidable was his strength?

In the Azure Sea, there couldn't be too many individuals with such strength, could there?

The woman suddenly thought of someone, a legendary figure whose sword dao was reputed to be the best in the world.

After slaughtering the Blood Dagger Pirates with a wave of his hand, Xu Yan prepared to let the sea beast continue racing, pulling his boat towards the Yuntian Sea Region.

Although the Blood Dagger Pirates were relatively strong, martial artists at the peak of the Refining God stage were no longer a match for Xu Yan, who could easily exterminate them.

Even martial artists who had condensed the Heavenly Earth Lingji were not considered threats. The only opponents he could cross swords with were the likes of the Elder leading the Thousand Martial Hall.

The only person that could make him genuinely engage in battle was someone as powerful as Xin Mengrou.

He was not far from the complete realm of the divine element, and his current strength was incomparable to when he first entered the Divine Origin Realm.

Just as he was about to command the sea beast to sail away, a woman's voice suddenly called out.

"Benefactor, wait!"

Xu Yan turned to look. It was the woman who had warned him before.

"What's the matter?"

The woman was stunning and had an attractive figure marked by an aura of enchantment.

Her strength was at the early stage of Refining God Heavenly Man.

She looked somewhat excited. Seeing Xu Yan's young and handsome face, her heart pounded with excitement.

"Benefactor, are you the Sword King?"

The woman asked excitedly.
