Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws



"Are you qualified to cooperate with Heavens?"

Chu Kuangren glanced at Luo Yunxiu.

However, it seemed that Luo Yunxiu was well-prepared. He stood with hands behind his back, and an ancient runic mark appeared on his forehead.

It was the Nine Kings' Mark.

"I am one of the Nine Kings!" 

Luo Yunxiu said.

"Interesting."

Chu Kuangren glanced at him. "What do you plan to do?"

"There will be a Bandit King trade fair after some time. At that time, all prominent pirates in the Central Heaven Universe will gather to trade their stolen treasures." 

"Shinra Pirate will also participate. As the most powerful pirate in the Central Heaven Universe, Shinra Pirate has always been the host of the trade fair. I hope Heavenly Sword can kill him before everyone, and then I will defeat you!"

"By doing so, not only I can establish immense prestige among Shinra Pirate, but also take over Shinra Pirate in front of all pirates in the entire universe," said Luo Yunxiu.

Chu Kuangren could not help but chuckle. "So, you're using Heavens as a tool to achieve your ambition. Am I right?"

"I dare not. It's just a trade. Once I control Shinra Pirate, I will serve Heavenly Sword. It's a win-win situation."

"Interesting. Just go and get ready," said Chu Kuangren.

"Ha. Let's have a pleasant cooperation then."

Luo Yunxiu was delighted.

Then, as he turned and left, his eyes revealed a cold gaze.

'Heavenly Sword, you're just a pawn in my hands. Once I have control over Shinra Pirate and possess its power, I'll be hypocritical toward you. In due time, I won't have to be fear of you when I grow stronger.'

'Heavenly Sword… You're indeed at the peak of power, but I, Luo Yunxiu, will surpass you one day!'

Luo Yunxiu thought to himself.

"Heavenly Sword, do you really want to cooperate with Luo Yunxiu?"

Heaven Maiden You, who was next to Chu Kuangren, furrowed her brows.

In her opinion, Luo Yunxiu was not worthy of cooperation.

"When did Heavens say he was going to cooperate with him?"

Chu Kuangren smiled faintly. "Heavens only asked him to get ready but never mentioned cooperating with him."

"Heaven Maiden You, remember not to trust a traitor's words. If he can betray his foster father who raised him for the sake of controlling Shinra Pirate, he can betray Heavens for other interests in the future."

"He can be used but not be valued," said Chu Kuangren.

Hearing this, Heaven Maiden You pondered. "Heavenly Sword, are you going to use him to gain control over Shinra Pirate first, then find a chance to kill him?"

"Yeah. Heavens have other individuals in mind for cooperation.

…

"Second Brother, the trade fair will be held in a while. My Shinra Pirate has just won a battle, hence we must make this fair a grand success. Since Heavenly Sword is here, let's invite him to join us."

Shinra Pirate said inside the warship.

Next to him, Helou Liangyi nodded. "Understood."

Following that, he showed hesitated expression, as if he wanted to say something. Upon seeing his expression, Shinra Pirate said, "Second Brother, we have been comrades for many years. There's nothing you need to worry about. Just speak up."

Helou Liangyi said, "Big Brother, the young master has been making moves recently. I suspect he is preparing something secretly."

"Yunxiu…" A glint flashed in Shenri Pirate's eyes, revealing a complex expression. "Back then, Third Brother sacrificed himself to save me. I adopted his son as my foster son, and I've been treating him as my own. But over these years, I feel that I have been growing apart from Yunxiu."

"The young master has great ambitions. Big Brother, I know you might not be pleased to hear me say this, but we have to be cautious of him," Helou Liangyi said through clenched teeth.

"Sigh. Alright."

Shinra Pirate sighed. "After all, I raised Yunxiu. Although we are pirates, even a beast knows that it can't forget the kindness of the one that raised it. He won't go too far."

"Hopefully."

Helou Liangyi said with some worries in his heart.

Then, both of them discussed the matters regarding the trade fair.

After parting ways, a person suddenly approached Helou Liangyi. It was Heaven Maiden You. He was somewhat surprised and stepped forward to greet her respectfully.

She was not only Chu Kuangren's follower, but also the Mystic Divination Heaven Maiden and one of the Nine Kings. Regardless of which identity she held, she could not be ignored.

"What's the matter, Heaven Maiden?"

"Heavenly Sword asked me to pass this to you."

Heaven Maiden You took out a gemstone.

Helou Liangyi looked at the gemstone with surprise. "This is a voice transmission stone. Why would Heavenly Sword give me this?"

He activated his Immortal's Core and injected it into the stone.

Soon, a voice sounded from it. "Heavenly Sword, let's cooperate. You help me kill my foster father…"

It was Luo Yunxiu's voice!

Helou Liangyi wore a grim look on his face as he listened to the contents of the voice transmission stone. His hand trembled slightly due to anger.

"What a despicable bastard!" 

"Since the item has been delivered, I'll leave then."

Heaven Maiden You said, then turned around and left.

"Wait."

"What's the matter?"

"Please thank Heavenly Sword on behalf of me!"

Helou Liangyi said solemnly.

"Seize the opportunity," said Heaven Maiden You.

"I know what to do," Helou Liangyi said firmly while looking at the voice transmission stone in his hand. "Big Brother, you can't bear the reputation of killing your son, so let me do it for you!"

…

The trade fair was held in full swing.

The venue of the fair was located on an ancient planet in the Fengluo Galaxy, which was originally sparsely populated.

However, it became lively because of the trade fair.

Pirates from all forces in the universe, and even cultivators came here to try their luck and see if they could find something useful for themselves.

"Heaven Maiden You, don't you find the scene in front of us interesting?"

Chu Kuangren looked at the increasingly bustling ancient planet below and said, "Things stolen by the pirates can be traded peacefully here. This scene is simply a microcosm of the universe."

The cold and dark universe had given birth to many rules, but there was one rule that had always been followed.

That was the law of the jungle!

These pirates survived and thrived by plundering and bullying weaker individuals in the places they invaded.

However, in this trading fair, they restrained their murderous intent and peacefully traded their loot.

Why?

It was because Shenri Pirate was more powerful than them. They bullied the weak ones but were constrained by the powerful ones, and obeyed the rules set by the powerful ones.

This was almost the case in the entire universe.

"Heavenly Sword, what would you do if you were in control of the universe?"

"Heh. What can I do? Heaven Maiden You, Heavens can dominate the universe but can't dominate human hearts. The inherent evil in human nature is something not even Heavens can change."

Heaven Maiden You pondered upon hearing his words.

She noticed that she had learned many things by following Heavenly Sword.

Besides, she realized that Heavenly Sword was not only powerful in terms of strength, but his ability to discern human hearts and his perception of the universe was worth learning.
