Chapter 155 You Sure Know How to Chat

"Ah... since you've put it that way..." Feng Bujue considered for a few seconds, then, with a cheap look on his face, he said to Honghu, "Then I'll reluctantly get a *little* 'serious'."

For some reason, seeing his irritating appearance, the four words "this time it's stable" floated into Honghu's mind.

And Brother Jue didn't disappoint his teammates; the moment the words left his mouth, he moved.

After activating [Spirit Consciousness Gathering Technique - Modified], Feng Bujue's figure suddenly transformed into a streak of scarlet light.

He charged back and forth across the deck, unstoppable, and wherever he went... blood mists exploded, and heads flew.

The originally balanced battle situation was instantly turned into a rout by Feng Bujue's power alone...

"Heh... although it's an unexpected development, it seems to be a good thing..." Blackbeard, who was watching all of this from a high place, also revealed a hint of a smile.

On the other hand, Mad Eye's reaction was completely the opposite of Blackbeard's.

"Damn it! What is that? Who is that!" Mad Eye was so shocked by this sudden change that he was burning with anger. While yelling, he grabbed a crew member next to him and roared fiercely at him.

"I...I don't know..." The crew member was caught in the crossfire for no reason and was completely at a loss.

"Hmm..." Mad Eye gritted his teeth in anger, but he still hadn't lost his mind, so after suppressing his emotions a little, he let go of the other person and continued, "Quick... quick, go invite the master out! Tell him... if he doesn't come, we're going to be wiped out!"

"Yes... yes!" The crew member responded in a stumbling voice and turned to run towards the cabin.

Just as that lackey staggered away, suddenly... another change occurred!

No sooner said than done.

A flash of scarlet light, a figure appeared.

In the blink of an eye, Feng Bujue, who had just been reaping heads on the deck... had actually arrived in front of Mad Eye and slashed with his knife.

"Hmph... overestimating yourself!" Faced with this surprise attack, Mad Eye didn't show the slightest bit of fear or panic.

The reason was simple—as a pirate captain who could compete with Blackbeard, his own combat abilities were also very outstanding; even Brother Jue with his skills activated couldn't reach a speed that could escape his dynamic vision.

*Pa-*

The next second, only the sound of a palm strike was heard.

Mad Eye actually used a move of "catching a white blade with bare hands" against Brother Jue, and... he succeeded.

"What the...?" This time, without any teammates around, Feng Bujue blurted out a curse, "Not bad, huh."

"Kid..." Mad Eye didn't answer Brother Jue's words, but instead asked to himself, "This knife... was it forged for you by Zhuanxie Zun?"

"Oh?" Feng Bujue was a little surprised that the other party could recognize the origin of this kitchen knife at a glance, "You can even see that?"

"Ha!" Mad Eye laughed dryly and shouted, "That old thing's enchanted curse mark... I can recognize it even from dozens of meters away!"

Along with his gradually increasing voice, a surprise kick suddenly arrived.

Because Mad Eye's palms were tightly clamping the [Blade of Must-Break Defense], Feng Bujue couldn't pull the knife back, so in a moment of desperation... Brother Jue could only release the weapon in his hand, spin around, and dodge.

In this way, although Mad Eye's kick missed, he successfully snatched Brother Jue's weapon.

"Looks like..." Feng Bujue hadn't even stabilized himself yet, but had already come to a conclusion, "Before I even got close to you, you already knew the characteristics of this knife..."

At this second, Brother Jue belatedly realized that the other party had chosen to "catch a white blade with bare hands" to receive the move precisely in order to avoid the effect of the [Blade of Must-Break Defense], and... had planned to steal the knife from the very beginning.

"Of course." Mad Eye lightly tossed the snatched kitchen knife, caught it, and grabbed its handle, saying, "You killed so many of my men in front of me. If I couldn't even see this much..."

He only said half a sentence before suddenly making a move that shocked even Brother Jue.

Mad Eye held the kitchen knife horizontally, clamped each section with both hands, and twisted with force.

Immediately afterward, a "clang" sound came from the blade, and the perfect-grade equipment... broke in response.

"...then would I still be Mad Eye?" After spending two seconds to complete the act of breaking the knife, Mad Eye finished the second half of his sentence.

And Feng Bujue, who was standing three meters away from him, very rarely... froze for two seconds.

Two seconds later, Brother Jue seemed to have come to his senses. He narrowed his eyes, put on a rogue expression, and said in a tone of anger mixed with laughter, "You actually... dismantled my equipment?"

…………

At the same time, in a certain cabin of the Queen Anne's Revenge.

"Aiya ya..." The hunchbacked man who called himself "Ken" looked at a wall and recited with a smile that was not a smile, "That Mad Eye guy... has done something irreversible..."

…………

"Ha!" On the other hand, Mad Eye didn't know what he had done. He was still using a provocative attitude towards Brother Jue, "What's the big deal about dismantling your knife? I'm going to take your life too..."

"Enough nonsense!" Feng Bujue immediately shouted, "What's the point of life!"

His subtle line made Mad Eye's brain a little unable to process it. The latter even thought he had misheard.

"You kid are you out of your mind?" Mad Eye didn't dwell on the matter much. He quickly drew the saber from his waist, ready to kill, "Heh... whatever, since you think your life isn't as valuable as a knife, then I'll send you on your way as soon as possible."

After saying that, he raised his sword and slashed, the blade aiming straight for Brother Jue's neck.

Seeing this, Feng Bujue... without thinking, raised his hand and used two fingers to clamp the other party's blade.

"Oh?" Mad Eye originally thought that the man in front of him was just a speed-type expert who relied on Zhuanxie Zun's weapon to kill indiscriminately; he never expected that... the other party could actually receive his attack with just his fingers in a bare-handed state.

Although Mad Eye's sword was just a "casual swing" and was not a skill at all, and he didn't even use his full strength, he was, after all, a Boss-level character, and his basic strength was quite strong; if it were an ordinary pirate lackey, let alone using his fingers to defend... even if he used a weapon to block this sword, he would be shaken back several meters.

Therefore, Brother Jue's [Lingxi Finger] really surprised Mad Eye.

"Looks like... you're a little more powerful than I imagined." However, this level of surprise was still not enough to scare Mad Eye, "I'll ask for your name by the way before I kill you."

"Mad..." When he said the first word, Feng Bujue flung his hand away from the blade and took a big step back.

"Bu..." When he said the second word, he put two fingers together and inserted them into the two acupoints under his ribs.

"...Jue!" He roared out the third word, and along with the roar, blood spurted from his wound.

Hearing those three words, Mad Eye's expression changed.

He had obviously heard the name "Feng Bujue", and he had heard it quite a few times.

"I see..." After a few seconds of pause, Mad Eye said in a deep voice, "If you're not impersonating him, then you really live up to your name..."

At this moment, he really couldn't guess what Brother Jue's self-mutilating action was intended to do, and could only explain it with "madness."

"You... you like to dismantle equipment, right..." Feng Bujue ignored Mad Eye's words. He glared at the other party with murderous eyes and raised his blood-stained hand high, "I'll give you another chance... with the God of Probability."

As he spoke, the blood flowing from his wound actually flew up and gathered in his hand... forming the shape of a blade.

Seeing this, everyone must have understood—Feng Bujue's act of stabbing himself was to activate [Greed Paradigm].

After paying "one pint of fresh blood" and "35% of his maximum Stamina Value and Spirit Power Value," he could summon a "weapon with at least perfect quality" from the void.

Perhaps because he used his own blood, this time, the "God of Probability" gave him a lot of face...

[Name: Demon Sword - Yama Emperor]

[Type: Weapon]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Attack Power: ???]

[Attribute: Darkness]

[Effect: The user's Spirit Art skills become without cooldown time (under appropriate activation conditions), and the consumption is reduced to one-quarter of the original]

[Equipment Condition: This weapon is summoned by "Greed Paradigm," and the duration is still 1:39]

[Remark: The supreme artifact of the Land of Death, opens the magical weapon of "Doomsday Judgment."]

This sword was purple-red throughout, with sword guards like wings; the blade was inlaid with countless gems, dotted with silver.

When this [Demon Sword - Yama Emperor] appeared in Feng Bujue's hand, the originally clear sky... suddenly changed color.

In an instant, dark clouds covered the sun, and the sun and moon lost their light.

Even the wind on the sea... stopped quietly at this time.

"What is this!" Mad Eye knew his stuff, so he was shocked when he saw this sword.

In fact, Blackbeard, who was far away at the stern of another ship, also had a solemn expression at this time.

To use an analogy, the situation in front of them was like... two armies of the Cold Weapon Era were fighting fiercely, but suddenly... a Gundam appeared on the battlefield.

"Good question!" Although Mad Eye's words weren't a question at all, Feng Bujue still answered loudly, "This is called... the Demon Sword..."

Before he could finish his words, the sword had already fallen.

Even Feng Bujue himself didn't expect that the consequence of this sword would be...

…………

Ten minutes later.

The sky cleared up again.

At this time, the three players were all standing in the captain's room of the Queen Anne's Revenge.

It wasn't that the three of them wanted to stand, but... the space in the captain's room was not spacious, and there was only one chair in total, and it had already been occupied by Blackbeard.

"On the Sea of Chaos, there are three pirate ships that are known as 'legends'." When Blackbeard said this, he sat comfortably in the chair. He didn't feel the slightest bit of discomfort about the fact that the guests could only stand. "The first is the Black Pearl; the second is the Flying Dutchman; the third... is my Queen Anne's Revenge."

Speaking of this, he paused, then said, "And in addition to these three ships, there are eleven other ships that are second only to the 'legends'. They are called the 'eleven'..."

"Let me guess..." Snow shrugged and answered, "The Brown Algae... is one of the 'eleven'?"

"Hmm..." Hearing this, Blackbeard exhaled a breath from his nose, then turned his face and glanced out through the porthole in the captain's room.

Through that circular window, you could just see the wreckage of the Brown Algae pirate ship, which had not completely sunk and had been broken into two pieces on the sea.

"It used to be..." Blackbeard corrected Snow's "is" to "was," and took the opportunity to cast a blaming look at Brother Jue on the other side of the room.

"What?" Feng Bujue's skin was so thick. He met Blackbeard's gaze without fear and replied in a matter-of-course tone, "Is it my fault?"

"The glass bottles on the shelf behind you are all filled with the pirate ships that I have conquered in the past." Blackbeard changed his way of answering Brother Jue's question, "To be more precise... the pirate ships that I think are 'collectible'." He raised his hand and pointed in that direction, "I don't know if you've noticed, but under the two bottles that say 'Black Pearl' and 'Flying Dutchman,' there are two rows... a total of ten ships, and one empty space."

Feng Bujue didn't respond to this sentence. He stood there looking around, pretending not to hear what the other party was saying.

Honghu and Snow, on the other hand, were so embarrassed that they rolled their eyes.

"Thanks to you..." Blackbeard waited for four or five seconds. Seeing that the other party didn't speak, he continued himself, "That space will probably be empty forever."

"If I were you..." Feng Bujue tilted his head and replied in a very casual tone, "I'd just change to a new shelf."

"You sure know how to chat," Blackbeard replied with a blank expression.

"It's okay," Feng Bujue responded, "Oh... right, while you're in a bad mood, I'll tell you another bad news... your three barrels of Dried Leaf Wine are gone."

When these words came out, Honghu and Snow took a step back in unison, away from Brother Jue.

They couldn't explain why they did this, probably... because they were worried that Blackbeard would flip over the table and chop someone.

"Heh... hehe..." This time, Blackbeard also felt a bit like he was laughing out of anger. His mouth twitched as he said, "I've only heard of the practice of 'announcing bad news when other people are in a good mood'. This kind of routine is the first time I've seen it."

"That's right... a chatty person like me always tries to avoid ruining other people's emotions when they're in a good mood." Feng Bujue's dead pig-not-afraid-of-boiling-water state, the ultimate-level of being cheap, and the impeccable rogue logic... was truly shaking people's three views and making them unable to react.

"Then I have to thank you?" Even Blackbeard himself was surprised why he hadn't lost his temper yet.

"You're welcome," Feng Bujue continued to respond shamelessly, "As the saying goes, great kindness doesn't need thanks. A person like me who is indifferent to fame and wealth... you can just repay me with action."

"Hmm..." Blackbeard's hands were shaking, his shoulders were shaking, and even his body was shaking... but compared to the tremors in the depths of his heart, these were nothing.

If it were in the past, he would have opened his mouth and cursed "Motherfucker" (please understand the original English meaning of this word), and then rushed up to tear Brother Jue apart.

But today, Blackbeard's reaction was: "So... what do you want?"
