Chapter 342: Chapter 339: Who the Hell Do You Think You Are
Qin Li stood focused in mid-air, looking down at the sharks drawn by the scent of blood gathering on the sea’s surface. He sighed softly. His body, like a bolt of lightning, shot toward the island where the Sea Tide Gang’s lair was located.
As his speed increased, Qin Li could even feel the Crystal Core in his Dantian—formed from the Innate Purple Qi—continuously emitting a surging energy. The Primordial Power within his entire Dantian felt like boiling magma, on the verge of igniting.
The gale generated by his high speed battered his Protective Gang Qi, creating a shrill whistle that tore through the night sky.
When Qin Li was still over twenty li from the Sea Tide Gang’s island, he suddenly felt powerful waves of energy. His expression changed. ’Could there be a peerless expert in the Sea Tide Gang? Otherwise, how could the energy waves travel this far?’
As Qin Li pondered this, his feet never slowed. Gradually, he began to hear the sounds of a fierce battle and shouts. Ahead, a large area of space was constantly twisting. Clearly, both sides were fighting at the level of Shattering the Void, and the battle was incredibly intense!
Qin Li’s body burst onto the scene like a bolt of lightning, immediately drawing their attention. On an extremely spacious training ground where the Sea Tide Gang used to live, a dozen or so people were now standing.
In mid-air, two figures—one in black, one in white—were locked in a fierce battle.
Qin Li’s arrival stunned the people on the training ground for a moment, but none of them said anything. They didn’t even give him a second glance.
Although the night was dark, for cultivators of their level, there was little difference between night and day. So, Qin Li could naturally sense the immense superiority radiating from them.
They clearly didn’t see him as worth their notice.
In the sky, the one fighting the Snake Woman was a woman in white. Her figure was graceful and her speed was unparalleled. One moment she was here, the next she vanished, only to reappear in another spot. With every move, large swaths of space would collapse.
But She She was no weakling either. With sharp cries, she continuously slashed through space with a black short sword in her hand, occasionally clashing palms with the woman in white.
Whenever this happened, a thunderous BOOM would echo through the sky.
The aftershocks of energy Qin Li had just felt came from the direct clash of pure power between these two. When Martial Artists were of similar strength, a contest of pure power was one way to fight.
Whoever’s Primordial Power was less profound and less formidable would be at a disadvantage.
As Qin Li watched in alarm, he was also filled with immense doubt. The people on the training ground, men and women alike, mostly looked young. The woman fighting She She in mid-air also appeared to be quite young.
Moreover, with their level of strength, it was impossible for them to have any connection to Chen Haichao. Qin Li couldn’t even imagine what place, other than the Land of the Far West, could produce such a group of monstrously powerful young people.
However, it was very likely that these people were over a hundred years old, just skilled at preserving their youth like Bing Mengyun.
But no matter how he looked at it, Qin Li felt that this battle between She She and the woman in white was completely baffling.
"Senior Sister, kill that Demoness!"
"That’s right, kill her! Hmph, to attack and slaughter a group of weaklings in broad daylight... that’s the act of a beast!"
"Senior Sister, don’t show any mercy! There’s no point in letting someone like her live!"
Seeing the two were evenly matched, the people below couldn’t help but shout encouragement for their side.
Qin Li frowned, looked at the dozen or so people, and said coolly, "Could you have your person stop for a moment? I think there might be a misunderstanding here."
"Who are you? We saw you just now but didn’t have time to deal with you. Just wait on the side for now! We’ll deal with you later!" a young woman in a green skirt said, glancing coolly at Qin Li.
A handsome man in a sapphire-blue long robe was not so polite. "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Are you with that demoness in black? Perfect. I’ll act on behalf of heaven for once and eliminate a monster like you!"
Hearing this, Qin Li couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger. These people didn’t seem evil, but their actions and words were simply too tyrannical. However, precisely because they seemed to have some sense of justice, Qin Li patiently explained, "Everyone, this island is the lair of a pirate gang. They were villains who committed every crime imaginable in Hai City of the Yan Kingdom. They’re all scum..."
"Enough!" the young man in the sapphire-blue robe cut Qin Li off with a sneer. "Do you think we don’t have eyes? Or that we’re completely ignorant? What a joke! You two are the real scum, you shameless pair!"
"Exactly! Second Senior Brother, why are you still talking to him? This kind of trash probably came out of some Mysterious Land around here. We should just get rid of him!" a young man in gray martial attire among them said with a sneer.
"Maybe there really is a misunderstanding. Second Senior Brother, Seventh Senior Brother, aren’t we being a bit too rash? That woman in black never said she was a bad person from start to finish..." a cute-looking girl in a yellow skirt among them whispered.
"Youngest Junior Sister, what do you know? The fact that the woman in black doesn’t explain herself means she’s admitting it. Besides, do bad guys carve the word ’evil’ on their foreheads?" the green-skirted girl retorted, turning to lecture the yellow-skirted girl.
Qin Li’s expression had darkened by now. This group was clearly a bunch of young people out for training or searching for Heavenly and Earthly Treasures. It seemed they either came from some unknown region in this vast Great Sea or they could only be from the Land of the Far West. On the entire Eastern Continent, it seemed no family or Sect could produce so many young experts.
Every one of these young people seemed unfathomably deep. Even the yellow-skirted girl, the only one who had spoken up for him, was someone Qin Li found himself completely unable to see through.
"Who are you people?" Qin Li said, looking impassively at the young man in the sapphire-blue robe. "What evidence do you have to prove the people on this island shouldn’t be killed? Also, please don’t be like a dog that bites the moment it opens its mouth. We have no past grievances or recent quarrels, so how have I offended you? ’Shameless man’? I can’t accept that title, so why don’t you take it back?"
"Brat, you’re courting death!" The young man in the sapphire-blue robe clearly hadn’t expected this equally handsome young man to have such a sharp tongue. He was so furious steam was practically coming out of his ears. He sneered, "You are not worthy of knowing who we are. I say you’re slaughtering innocents, and that’s what you’re doing. Now, I’m going to get rid of you, you piece of scum!"
Another tremendous BOOM echoed from the sky. The turbulent energy from the collapsing space raged violently in mid-air, so intense it seemed to blot out the sun and moon, dimming the heavens and the earth.
At this moment, the two figures suddenly descended from the sky in unison. The Snake Woman’s hair was a little disheveled. The woman in white wore a faint veil, behind which a devastatingly beautiful face could be vaguely seen. Her aura was stable, and she seemed to have a slight edge over She She.
Apparently, while fighting fiercely in the sky, they had also been paying attention to the situation below. The Snake Woman, fearing Qin Li would be at a disadvantage, dodged an attack and descended.
The woman in white, perhaps fearing her sect-mates would be at a disadvantage, or perhaps disdaining a sneak attack, also drifted down gracefully.
"What happened?" the woman in white asked, glancing coolly at Qin Li, her expression unreadable.
"First Senior Sister, this man is an accomplice of that Demoness. I was just about to get rid of him!" the young man in the sapphire-blue robe said to the woman in white with great reverence.
"I heard you say that the people on this island were all pirates. Is that true?" The woman in white’s eyes were incredibly deep, like an ancient well without a single ripple, yet they seemed capable of peering into the depths of a person’s soul.
Qin Li glanced at the woman and said flatly, "Of course, it’s true."
"First Senior Sister, don’t listen to their nonsense! If we hadn’t happened upon this, this Demoness would have slaughtered everyone on the island! How could someone like that possibly be good?" the young man in the gray martial attire said with a sneer.
The woman in white ignored the young man’s words and looked calmly at Qin Li. "What evidence do you have?"
"Evidence?" Qin Li chuckled. Although this woman in white wasn’t aggressive, her calm disregard and condescending attitude were far more irritating than an openly hostile woman would be.
"Of course I have evidence. But who are you people? Why should I show my evidence to you?" A faint smile hung on Qin Li’s face. He knew of the Snake Woman’s pride, and likewise, he had his own.
Before they could react, Qin Li continued, "Judging by your appearance, you must be from some Sect. So let me ask you, does your Sect not have a single enemy? From Ancient Times until now, has it never once wiped out another group? Meddling in the grudges of others is already a great taboo! But to attack indiscriminately without understanding the situation is simply insane! I ask you, why should I present any evidence to a bunch of assholes? Who the hell do you think you are?!"
"How audacious!"
"You lowly thing, you’re courting death!"
"Brat, you’re tired of living, daring to speak to us like that!"
"First Senior Sister, let me get rid of this scum! He must be lying!"
Hearing Qin Li’s words, the group became enraged. Each of them looked as if they wanted to eat him alive. Never before had anyone dared to berate them so to their faces, and with such sharp, insulting words!
The woman in white looked coolly at Qin Li, and a flash of anger finally appeared in her eyes.
