CHAPTER 512: CHAPTER 280 LEI YING THE PIRATE

In one corner of the sky, a pirate suddenly activated a Magical Treasure, sending a strong beam of light towards Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng’s figure flickered and narrowly dodged the strike.

But just as he evaded, another pirate seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, delivering a heavy punch to Gu Sheng’s back.

Gu Sheng felt a sharp pain surge through him, and his body lurched forward.

He struggled to get up but was pinned down by several pirates holding his hands and feet.

"Haha, let’s see how long you can keep your arrogance!"

The pirate leader laughed loudly, raising his massive axe high in the air, ready to deliver the final blow to Gu Sheng.

Lei Ying witnessed this scene, a glimmer of triumph flashing in her eyes.

She watched Gu Sheng being captured with undisguised pleasure in her heart.

Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Sheng suddenly unleashed a powerful force.

He broke free from the pirates’ restraints and, with a swift movement, executed his Shadow Concealment Skill.

Gu Sheng’s figure was like the wind, disappearing in front of everyone’s astonished eyes.

The pirates widened their eyes, searching frantically for the golden figure, while Lei Ying’s complexion turned pale.

"How... how is this possible!"

She muttered to herself, her triumphant and mocking demeanor vanishing instantly.

As chaos ensued, Gu Sheng’s figure suddenly materialized behind Lei Ying.

He clutched Lei Ying’s throat and pulled her close, his cold gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"Little girl, I’ve seen your tricks. Now, it’s my turn."

Gu Sheng’s tone was calm yet resolute, as if everything was under his control.

The pirates roared in fury and charged forward, but Gu Sheng remained unfazed.

Golden light flickered in his eyes, and with a swift movement, he executed the Shadow Concealment Skill again.

"Gale Nine Swords, the second sword!"

Gu Sheng shouted sharply, unleashing a golden sword radiance that cut through the air, targeting the leading pirate.

The pirate snarled and swung his blade to meet the attack, but the golden sword radiance effortlessly severed his weapon and pierced through his chest.

The pirates were struck with terror and began retreating en masse.

They never expected Gu Sheng’s cultivation to be so formidable, that even their leader was no match.

"Hurry... retreat!"

The pirate leader shouted as he turned and fled with his men.

Gu Sheng sneered but did not pursue them.

He knew his goal had been achieved. Holding Lei Ying hostage, he headed into the distance.

"Let me go! You bastard!"

Lei Ying shouted while struggling, but Gu Sheng remained unmoved.

"Little girl, don’t waste my kindness on you."

Gu Sheng said indifferently, "If it weren’t for your repeated provocations, I wouldn’t have taken such measures."

Upon hearing this, Lei Ying was momentarily angered. She glared at Gu Sheng with widened eyes:

"Do you think this will threaten me? Let me tell you—you’re wrong!"

Gu Sheng sneered and did not respond.

He continued fleeing with Lei Ying, quietly calculating his next move.

Meanwhile, Lei Ying babbled incessantly, making noise.

Gu Sheng remained indifferent, pressing forward as Lei Ying started to threaten him.

"Release me, or my father won’t spare you!"

Lei Ying shouted loudly, her eyes blazing with fury.

Gu Sheng sneered and said, "Your father? Who is he? I, Gu Sheng, act as I wish; why would I fear him?"

Lei Ying, hearing this, flushed with anger.

Since childhood, she had been pampered, never subjected to such humiliation.

"My father is the maritime patrol officer of this sea territory, commanding countless pirates! If you dare lay a finger on me, he’ll never forgive you!" Lei Ying said furiously.

Gu Sheng’s brows raised slightly, his thoughts shifting inwardly:

"A maritime patrol officer? This little girl’s background seems quite significant."

However, he showed no sign of fear. Calmly, he replied:

"What of a maritime patrol officer? I, Gu Sheng, act by my principles, unafraid of any power."

Lei Ying, upon hearing these words, trembled with anger. She had never encountered someone so brazen, even more unruly than pirates!

"You... you’re nothing but a madman!"

Lei Ying exclaimed angrily, "Don’t you fear death?"

Gu Sheng sneered and replied:

"Death? I, Gu Sheng, already died once before. The life I have now, I fought to reclaim. If I feared death, how would I have gotten to where I am today?"

Lei Ying was struck silent by Gu Sheng’s words.

She had never seen someone as steadfast and determined, and she couldn’t help but feel a trace of admiration.

"Do you... truly not fear my father?" Lei Ying questioned tentatively.

Gu Sheng shook his head and said, "No. If your father wishes to trouble me, let him come. I welcome it."

Lei Ying, hearing this, felt a rising sense of fear. She knew Gu Sheng wasn’t bluffing.

This man truly didn’t fear death or any forces.

Panic welled up in her heart, leaving her unsure of what to do.

She had wanted to use her father’s reputation to intimidate Gu Sheng, but ended up being stunned by his resolve.

At that moment, Gu Sheng abruptly stopped, turning to face Lei Ying.

There was a firm light in his eyes, an unstoppable conviction coursing through him.

"Little girl, I have my reasons for what I do. If you wish to live, obey. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless." Gu Sheng said coldly.

Lei Ying was overwhelmed by Gu Sheng’s aura, her heart filled with fear.

She knew that, in his hands, she had no choice but to comply.

Gritting her teeth, she nodded and said, "Fine, I’ll listen to you. But if you harm me, my father will never let it go!"

Gu Sheng, hearing this, smiled dismissively.

He knew Lei Ying was trying to threaten him, but he didn’t care.
