This is the weakness of machines. The strong use Source Power to guide their actions, changing in an instant, while Gao Xuan cannot easily penetrate a strong person's defenses even with the Five Elements Escape Technique.

Gao Xuan has destroyed several main power reactors in succession, and he is quite familiar with the process.

He even has the leisure to glance at a few pirates outside, their various transparent protective shields and ten layers of protective magnetic fields, all of them wearing expressions of shock.

Gao Xuan smiled at a few pirates, "Don't panic, you'll be sent to heaven in a moment, and it won't hurt at all."

Gao Xuan transmitted his voice with Spiritual Power, and despite the protective shields, the pirates heard him loud and clear.

The expressions of the pirates worsened, and the quicker-witted ones turned to run. The rest just stared blankly at Gao Xuan, unsure how to react.

With a graceful motion, Gao Xuan drew the Hongyi Sword and slashed it onto the core of the main power reactor.

The main power reactor could propel a five-thousand-meter-long battleship and provide all the energy for the colossal ship. It can be imagined how enormous the energy output of the main power reactor is.

The ordered output of energy was disrupted, and all the energy erupted and was released instantly. The energy flames penetrated all material, yet were blocked by the thick, hard metal of the ship's hull.

The completely enclosed space further raised the energy level of the explosive reaction.

Three seconds later, the Triangular Ghost Fish Battleship shattered into countless fragments amidst energy flames.

These metal remnants will eject outwards at sub-light speeds, and unless they encounter obstruction or are captured by stellar gravity, they will keep flying rapidly, flying to the ends of the cosmos.

Gao Xuan watched as the remnants of the battleship shot through the sky, and he felt a bit of a literary emotion, reflecting that this was a true journey of freedom...

The next second, Gao Xuan appeared before another ship's main power reactor. Another second passed, the main power reactor exploded. Two seconds later, the ship was completely shattered under the energy impact.

For Gao Xuan, battleships without the protection of a Golden Powerhouse are like balloons, with the slightest prick, they pop. It doesn't even require much Power from him.

Solving a battleship in five seconds, the ten battleships under the White Pig King turned into clusters of energy flames within fifty seconds.

The energy flames from the self-destructing main power reactor are extremely bright and extremely fierce.

In the dark starry sky, clusters of searingly bright energy flames leave deep light trails in the void, lingering for a long time.

On the main control screen of the Red Dragon King, these energy flames are bright and glaring.

Even through the screen, the Red Dragon King can feel the despairing aura emanating from the energy flames.

He is well aware that each cluster of energy flames represents a Triangular Ghost Fish main battleship, representing the deaths of tens of thousands of pirates.

Don't be fooled by the billion-strong population of the Black Banner Alliance, serving on main battleships are the elite of the elite.

Being an interstellar pirate isn't as easy as imagined. One must know how to operate a spaceship, understand basic repairs, operate various weapons, have basic cosmic knowledge, have basic combat ability. They must follow discipline, know the necessity of following orders, have organizational ability...

The crew of a main battleship are the pirates selected from thousands.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of elite pirates were wiped out.

As long as there is money, battleships can be bought, but these elite pirates cannot be gathered just like that.

The Black Banner Alliance has only a hundred or so main battleships, each of the ten Pirate Kings having around a dozen.

Among them, the Black Banner King has two Space Battleships, both Space Fortress Level super battleships.

But one of the battleships is already in a derelict state. Because there isn't enough money to maintain such an expensive battleship. Nor is there sufficient personnel to operate the battleship.

In less than a minute, eleven main battleships had already been wiped out, plus a White Pig King, seventy or seventy-thousand elite pirates.

Moreover, such a huge loss didn't gain any benefits. Gao Xuan, who took the action, suffered almost zero loss.

Such an exchange ratio is something no Commander-in-Chief can bear.

The Red Dragon King is also on the brink of collapse, not because he pities the White Pig King and the fleet's loss, but because of the intense fear towards Gao Xuan.

How can he resist such a strong person?

The Red Dragon King suddenly made a decision; he turned off the ship's protective magnetic field and used Spiritual Power to lock onto the Pirate King's Hall on Black Banner Star.

The next moment, with his powerful Spiritual Power, he tore a void path, and the Red Dragon King stepped into it.

Just before the void path he opened closed, the Red Dragon King saw that silver figure appear in the main control room.

Before the void path closed, the Red Dragon King and that silver figure exchanged a glance.

Gao Xuan's gaze was calm and distant, without any emotion. He even used Spiritual Power to say to the Red Dragon King, "It's good that you go ahead; let Black Banner wash up and wait for me."

The Red Dragon King didn't dare to respond; he didn't even have the ability to respond. Because the void path he tore closed in an instant. He also arrived at the Pirate King's Hall.

This black steel-constructed metal hall, with a dome height of three hundred meters, is filled with thick metal pillars. Facing the entrance is a high black throne.

On the wall behind the throne, a huge skull pirate emblem hangs.

Below the throne, there are sixteen symmetrically aligned high-back chairs.

Other than that, the hall is empty, with no other furnishings.

Every time he entered the Pirate King's Hall, the Red Dragon King would feel a sense of oppression.

This somewhat eerie grand building's sole benefit is that it provides a strong space coordinate.

As long as one's Spiritual Power is sufficient, one can tear through the void using this coordinate to return to the Pirate King's Hall.

In his hasty escape back, the Red Dragon King was, of course, here to find the Black Banner King. Only this boss might have a chance to kill Gao Xuan. At the very least, he could hold him off.

The Black Banner King sits on the high throne, with two dark void eyeholes in his Face Armor facing the Red Dragon King.

Having followed the Black Banner King for hundreds of years, the Red Dragon King never knew what this figure was thinking. In his current panic, he feared punishment from the Black Banner King even more.

He hurriedly bowed deeply, "Boss, Gao Xuan is too formidable. I couldn't beat him, so I came back to report."

"I already know,"

The Black Banner King interrupted the Red Dragon King, "Take a seat."

The Red Dragon King was a bit surprised; could it be that the Black Banner King won't go out to meet the enemy and instead wait for Gao Xuan in the Pirate King's Hall?

This is very contrary to common sense. No one would start a war in their own home. Let alone with a Golden Powerhouse involved, it's very likely that the Black Banner Star would be destroyed.

The battleground for a Golden Powerhouse should be the vast and endless starry sky!

But the boss has spoken, so no matter how perplexed the Red Dragon King is, he must obey.

Just as the Red Dragon King sat down, the other four Pirate Kings also tore through the void to arrive at the hall.

Flying Rat King, War Elephant King, Golden Monkey King, and Mad Tiger King, the four Pirate Kings were called over by the Black Banner King, unaware of what had transpired, each wearing an expression of confusion.

They dared not question the Black Banner King, so they looked towards the Red Dragon King.

The Red Dragon King didn't explain; it wasn't his turn to speak.

The Black Banner King said calmly, "The reason I've called you all here is to welcome an esteemed guest..."

Before the Black Banner King finished his words, Gao Xuan had already floated into the hall from outside.

Gao Xuan laughed and said to the Black Banner King, "The Black Banner King truly knows how to treat guests, gathering everyone together. This is perfect, just right for one pot stew..."
