Chapter 1426: Chapter 1288: Meeting the Pirate Leader Zhuo Qing in Battle Chapter 1426: Chapter 1288: Meeting the Pirate Leader Zhuo Qing in Battle Pirate leaders grew restless; they could never have imagined that, even being outnumbered by a factor of ten in total Soul Pets, the situation could turn out like this!

Now, the New Moon Sailors were like a band of fierce tigers fighting back to back. No matter how many pirates there were or how fierce their offensive, they couldn’t break through the Sailors’ formation. What terrified the low-level pirates even more was that there were just too many High Rank Master Level Soul Pets within the New Moon Navy!

Among the pirate leaders, only those with names known by the Sea Maiden had High Rank Master Level Soul Pets, with a total of perhaps only four or five.

On the New Moon Navy’s side, Chu Mu had summoned two High Rank Master Level Soul Pets all by himself. The Little Hiding Dragon was going crazy devouring the souls of enemies within the Beast type Army, and the Demon Tree Warrior, standing among the New Moon Navy, was utterly an impregnable fortress, including Dominator-level Creatures that couldn’t get close to the New Moon Navy!

In group battles, the Demon Tree Warrior’s role often outstripped its own level. With the Muxuan Leaf, its attack power approached that of a Peak Master. Add to that its strong group battle advantage, and without exaggerating, it could be said that the Demon Tree Warrior was like a Peak Master Level Soul Pet guarding the New Moon Navy, capable of annihilating any number of enemies!

Aside from Chu Mu’s two High Rank Master Level Soul Pets, Chao Lengchuan had similarly summoned two High Rank Masters, the Wanzhao Beast and the Linyin Beast. These two Mad Beasts were simply crushing when dealing with the lower-level pirate Soul Pets from the rear. Sometimes without using Skills, just rampaging through an area resulted in even more dead enemies.

Following that were Ye Wansheng’s two High Rank Master Level Soul Pets.

An empress-like Empress Thunder Serpent broke down the internal defenses of countless pirates, and a Spotted Demon Tiger that specialized in instantly killing Intermediate Masters and those below this level amongst the chaos caused the leader-level pirates to lose even the courage to show their faces.

Sang Ying, after one visit to the Demon Tomb, now also possessed two High Rank Masters. The Sea Maiden had three High Rank Master Level Soul Pets.

With this, the New Moon Navy now had a total of 11 High Rank Masters. Even if five were tied up by the Island Leader, there were still six on the battlefield in full reaping mode!

Moreover, the pirates’ Elemental Soul Pets were always contained by the wily Daoist’s Yuan Sui, while the New Moon Navy’s Elemental Soul Pets continuously swept with their skills, their lethality sometimes more fearsome than that of the High Rank Masters.

“How… how could they have so many High Rank Master Level Soul Pets!” The Female Leader, Chang Fei, exclaimed with disbelief on her face.

Great Leader Zhuo Qing looked extremely solemn; from the strength of the opponents, it was clear that these people hadn’t simply strayed here by mistake, they had come to annihilate them!

“Leader Zhuo, those Demon Spirits are too cunning, I…” Old Zhong came back dejected, indignation written all over his face.

Pirate Old Zhong had just led more than 2,000 naval Soul Pets in pursuit of Yuan Sui’s Demon Spirit team. After chasing into the jungle, their men were killed off one by one, until only 1,000 were left. Old Zhong didn’t dare to chase any further because if the numbers diminished again, those higher-level Demon Spirits would dare to sweep them head-on!

Zhuo Qing’s face was as dark as could be; he glared at Old Zhong and said, “Didn’t you say that these people from the land of the New Moon were very weak? Why are they now displaying combat power equal to that of the Navy Corps!”

“I… subordinate…” Old Zhong couldn’t come up with an answer.

Even he didn’t understand why the New Moon Sailors were so terrifyingly strong!

Every sailor had an Emperor-level Soul Pet, had complete Demon Spirit teams, Plant Fortresses, Elemental Groups, Beast type Armies, Sky Squads… It was hard to imagine that from a territory that had developed from a Third-level Earthly Realm for just a few years, so many Soul Emperor-level strong ones could emerge!

Zhuo Qing snorted coldly, but it sent shivers down Old Zhong’s spine!

Pirate Old Zhong could already feel Zhuo Qing’s murderous intent!

Pirate Leader Zhuo Qing could no longer sit still. The opposing army’s force was inherently much stronger than theirs, plus the multitude of High Rank Master Level Soul Pets slaughtering; if they waited any longer, not much of his 30,000 pirates would remain.

Great Leader Zhuo Qing murmured a spell and summoned his main pet for the first time.

The main pet summoned by Zhuo Qing was a Catastrophe Spider Emperor. Its eight terrifying legs sunk deep into the rocks, and a casual flick could probably disembowel countless people!

Judging from the aura, this Catastrophe Spider Emperor was definitely at the Peak Master Level!

The Catastrophe Spider Emperor strode out with its eight legs, trampling the battlefield with impunity, and no skill that hit it left any mark.

The Catastrophe Spider Emperor crawled all the way to the Pebble Beach, and Great Leader Zhuo Qing also stood on the back of the Catastrophe Spider Emperor.

“Who is your Great Leader, dare to come out and fight me!” Great Leader Zhuo Qing shouted, immediately his high-level Psychic Soul Master’s Soul Sense enveloped the entire battlefield so that almost everyone could hear clearly!

Now, the pirates’ morale had severely fallen, and Zhuo Qing had to lift this spirit back, or his subordinates would be wiped out completely!

With this challenging momentum, it was clearly felt that all the pirates were invigorated, as if they had been endowed with some state!

The logic behind this was, in fact, quite simple—all of the pirates were still daring to fight so fiercely because they believed in the strength of their Big Leader, Zhuo Qing. They believed that as soon as Zhuo Qing took action, the situation would be completely reversed!

Morale is very important in group battles. The pirates were now somewhat daunted by the onslaught, and if Zhuo Qing could be defeated in one fell swoop, all the pirates would scatter in disorder, and the battle would soon turn into a cleanup operation.

Chu Mu glanced over the battlefield. Up to now, the losses of the New Moon Navy were not severe. However, Chu Mu couldn’t guarantee what might happen next. The pirates were numerous after all, and the boost in morale from the High Rank Master Level could swiftly eradicate many, but unavoidable casualties were bound to occur as time went on.

The New Moon Navy was newly established; a loss of one-third would be a major blow. Therefore, Chu Mu felt that he had to wipe out this group of pirates in one fell swoop and minimize casualties to the absolute lowest!

To do this in one attempt, the best way was to eliminate their Big Leader, Zhuo Qing!

Now that Zhuo Qing had challenged, why would Chu Mu not dare to accept the challenge? Even if the Pirate Leader Zhuo Qing had not issued a challenge, Chu Mu would have gone to take him down next!

Chu Mu didn’t recall the Little Hiding Dragon and the Demon Tree Warrior, allowing them to continue the fight; he instead summoned Ye and rushed toward the location of the Big Leader Zhuo Qing.

The battlefield was incredibly chaotic, with skills sweeping through every moment, but for Ye, all of this was merely air!

After deftly navigating through the battlefield, Chu Mu deliberately had Ye conceal its aura as they approached the pebble-strewn beach where Big Leader Zhuo Qing was located.

“You are the leader of the New Moon, dare you state your name?” Zhuo Qing eyed the advancing Chu Mu with a fierce gaze.

Zhuo Qing had chosen this gravel beach location which was actually right at the side of the Dark Sea Pirates and the New Moon Navy’s battlefield. The location was biased towards the pirates’ camp. It surprised Zhuo Qing that his adversary dared to come to fight alone — such boldness unsettled him slightly.

“Chu Mu,” Chu Mu said calmly.

“Chu Mu?” Zhuo Qing slightly furrowed his brows, as if he had heard the name before.

“Big Leader, it’s the King of the New Moon Land that Old Zhong mentioned before,” Chang Fei quickly reminded him from behind.

Only then did Zhuo Qing realize. So it turned out all the leader-level strong ones from the New Moon Land were on this fleet; no wonder their strength was formidable!

“The King of New Moon Land, Chu Mu, I’ve long admired your reputation.” Big Leader Zhuo Qing bowed his semblance of a smile.

Chu Mu, watching this suddenly face-changing Zhuo Qing, was unsure about what tricks this fellow had up his sleeve.

While Chu Mu was puzzled, suddenly the Big Leader Zhuo Qing’s Mental Sound came through. After hearing it, Chu Mu couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing.

“King Chu, let’s not beat around the bush. Your navy is very strong, comparable to the Wupan Navy Legion, but we Dark Sea Pirates are numerous. If the killing goes on, even if you win in the end, your people will have hardly any survivors. We all do not wish to see such mutually destructive outcomes,” said the Mental Sound of Big Leader Zhuo Qing, with a somewhat mellowed voice.

“Mutually destructive? You’re overestimating your pirates,” Chu Mu responded calmly, curious to see what sort of play Big Leader Zhuo Qing had in mind.

“Fine, even if you can win, what then? We Dark Sea Pirates are scattered throughout the Crown Sea, with a total count of 100,000, and 400,000 Soul Pets. You’ve found our lair this time and might be able to wipe us out, but give me a few years, and I can rebuild a similar group of pirates. Then, we will become regular visitors of your New Moon Land,” said Zhuo Qing.

“Oh? And what would you like to do?” Chu Mu replied with his Mental Sound.

“You are here for the bounty and the wealth we’ve plundered. I can give you 30,000 Xuan, and you can withdraw your troops now. I assure you we will not touch your New Moon Land, and we can even restrain other sea pirates from harboring any designs against you,” Zhuo Qing offered.

Zhuo Qing’s words caught Chu Mu by surprise. To be frank, Chu Mu could hardly fathom how a vicious Pirate Leader would propose peace to his enemies while his own men were being slaughtered in droves.

Perhaps, this was their way of survival among the pirates—retreat in the face of the strong and bully the weak.

“Your head alone is worth 30,000 Xuan. Add up 10 leaders and that’s another 20,000 Xuan; other leaders and high-level pirates, and we’re talking over 60,000 Xuan in total. Plus, what you’ve hoarded in your lair—I assume there’s around 100,000 Xuan. Which do you think I’d choose?” Chu Mu said teasingly.

Zhuo Qing’s face, already dark, grew even darker!

Clearly, the other party wasn’t buying it, and was even after Zhuo Qing’s own head!

“Hmph, you’re ignorant of the heavens’ grandeur and the earth’s vast expanse. I just didn’t want my subordinates to suffer heavy casualties. Before me, you, the King of New Moon Land, are nothing but trash!” Zhuo Qing’s demeanor changed rapidly, his presence suddenly murderous!
