The tall, middle-aged bandit looked terrified, feeling a terrifying pressure descending upon him. This aura made his whole body tremble, and he felt fear deep in his soul.
"What is this?"
He widened his eyes to look at You Qianxue, wanting to say something, but it was already too late.
Pfft!
You Qianxue's sword light instantly pierced through his body, directly slicing him apart. The vitality within him was extinguished completely, dead beyond recovery.
"What? The three leaders are dead?"
On Qin Chen's side, several bandits who were far away hadn't fallen yet. Seeing the three leaders all dead, only the two remaining leaders from the Qingxue family left, they were all terrified, trembling all over, their heads nearly exploding.
What kind of background did these three powerful figures have? They were too terrifying.
On the Qingxue family's side, many experts saw this scene and suddenly became extremely excited. Their battle intent surged, all of them full of momentum, as if they had taken a great tonic, charging at the two remaining late-stage Saint Masters.
The two late-stage Saint Masters finally couldn't suppress the shock in their hearts. They turned and summoned a ray of escape light, trying to flee from this place.
Qin Chen and the others were too terrifying; in the blink of an eye, they had killed the three top experts. They weren't afraid of the Qingxue family's experts, but they felt unprecedented fear towards Qin Chen and his companions.
Such powerful figures were not to be underestimated.
"Want to run? Can you escape?"
Ming Shu and Bing Shu from the Qingxue family instantly pursued, determined to capture the two.
They were filled with rage; after being trapped for so long, they had pent-up fury, even burning their own essence.
Boom!
Immediately, one late-stage Saint Master was intercepted, but the other late-stage Saint Master, seemingly having cultivated some terrifying spatial technique, produced an ancient rune from his hand. As he ignited it, with a puff, he instantly disappeared without a trace.
"Ah!"
The remaining late-stage Saint Master, surrounded by the two powerful members of the Qingxue family and many experts, was covered in blood. After letting out a shrill scream, he was slaughtered.
The other surviving Tian Kui bandits, seeing four of the five leaders dead and one fleeing, were all filled with inexplicable fear, fleeing in a swarm.
The Tian Kui bandits were one of the top bandit groups in the Southern Heaven Realm's Void Tide Sea. Now, in such a dire situation, the people from the Qingxue family were filled with boiling blood, madly pursuing without fear. In the end, blood flowed everywhere, and the vast majority of bandits fell in the chase, but there were still some who disappeared into the Void Tide Sea.
In fact, Qin Chen could have easily kept these people, even the one late-stage Saint Master who had escaped. However, doing so would reveal too much, so he couldn't be bothered to act.
Whoosh!
With a wave of his hand, countless storage rings from these void bandits flew towards Qin Chen.
The many experts from the Qingxue family looked at this scene, their eyes filled with envy. Although the Tian Kui bandits were void bandits, they had survived in the Void Tide Sea for years, and with their cultivation level, they naturally possessed many treasures, even richer than many merchant associations. However, if it weren't for Qin Chen's intervention, the Qingxue family might have perished here, so naturally, no one dared to ask Qin Chen for those storage rings.
"Thank you for your help, three benefactors."
Ming Shu and Bing Shu returned to the battlefield, bowing to Qin Chen with gratitude.
"Three benefactors, please come aboard. Our Qingxue family's warship is very comfortable. This time, we brought the finest starry tea and Dragon King's brewed jade wine from the Southern Heaven Realm. You three can come aboard for a drink."
The second young lady of the Qingxue family shouted excitedly from the ship’s railing.
Hearing this, Ming Shu and Bing Shu's expressions changed immediately. Although they were very grateful for Qin Chen's help, if it weren't for the three of them, the Qingxue family might have been in danger. Now, with the second young lady inviting them onto their ship without knowing their identities, what if the others had ulterior motives? Wasn't that inviting a wolf into the den?
