The leader of the pirate fleet after sweeping the deck of the ship with a furious glare began running toward the nearest sailor.

That instance Zhang knew that he would not be able to beat this man alone. This man was the sort of person youd see as the last boss in a fairy tale.

The group was lucky that he had lost his halberd in the explosion or else theyd most likely be dead. But the most surprising this is although this man was caught up in the huge explosion he seemed somewhat unharmed.

Zhang knew if he allowed the man to get close hed most likely be overpowered and would be killed. So he had to keep the man at a distance from him.

Thankfully Zhang had figured out a way to slow him down.

Although this would not be able to stop him due to the fact that the essence in the air was too thin and the area Zhang could draw power from was too small. This was because Zhang has not reached a level high enough to completely control the Underworld Heart. But still it provided a means to slow the man down.

If he moved forward his body would still be in the center of the bubble. Within the bubble the men's movement speed was literally cut in half. He no longer possessed the explosive speed he had before.

Once the daggers entered the bubble they unlike the man was not slowed in the slightest. This is because Zhang was the one manipulating the bubble to begin with so thus he made sure that the bubble would not restrict the speed of their daggers.

Yuying luckily was able to puncture the man with the dagger she launched. It became embedded within his right left piercing through his calf muscle.

Before the man could get up Zhang jumped into the air and a sword appear within his hands. Zhang lunged at the man from above like a hawk coming in for the kill.

Shit Zhang murmured as he did a backflip to get away.

Then without even wincing he plucked the dagger out and threw it toward one of the sailors embedding the man into a wall.

With his sword shatter Zhang picked up the chained dagger from the ground and once more launched it at the man. If they could hit the man with two chained daggers they might be able to bind him with the chains. Ai and Zhang both shot their daggers out from their hands.

Without a word Ai and Zhang ran in circles around the man and crisscrossed the chains. Soon the man was wrapped up in chains from his neck down to his legs.

With his body bound the man could no longer dodge so the spear pierced through his stomach and stuck out of his back.

Fuck this guy is a monster! One of the sailors screamed as he walked toward the sailor pinned to the wall to help him.

But now had to use it although there is a chance that it will not work Zhang had run out of means to deal with the man. Of course he had a tiny bit of the lightning eaters poison left but there was the chance that the man would dodge when he used it and the poison would be wasted.

Hmph! The man snorted and dodged as the fire shot toward him.

What kind of trick is this! the man said.

One of the flames hit the man from behind with the other one missed and continued to hover in the air. Once the flame hit the man his face became deathly pale but he was still standing.

The man feeling his strength being sapped away roared and pulled out the spear stuck in his stomach and charged at Zhang.

DIE Hahahaha the man laughed as he lifted Zhang into the air.

NOOOOOO Yuying and Ai both screamed as they rushed toward the man to help Zhang.

YOULL BE THE ONE TO DIE TODAY!!!! Zhang screamed as a small vial appeared in his hand.

The vial slammed into the mans face and shattered and smothered poison all over the mans face. Zhang made sure to coat himself in a layer of essence using the Underworlds Heart to avoid being splashed by the poison of course.

Once the man let go of the spear Zhang began falling toward the ground. With a thump he landed on the ground.

With the bloody spear in his hand Zhang plunged it into the man. This time the man did not dodge he was too busy wallowing in pain.

The sailors watched all this from a short distance away and winced as they imaged the pain the man was in from the poison alone.

A while later Jian Wei walked up to Zhang and said Enough he is dead. He placed his hand on Zhangs shoulder trying to put Zhang at ease.

The mans body was covered in blood and small holes from the spear.

Quickly! Give him first aid immediately or he will die from blood loss! Jian Wei yelled.

The other sailors took the mans body and tossed it into the sea and began preparations to sail away.

Yes thanks to him. Jian Wei said with a smile on his face. However, a hint of worry could be seen on his face. This was due to the condition Zhang is currently in.

A few days passed as before Zhang opened his eyes. When he woke up he saw Yuying and Ai asleep by his side. They had stayed up taking care of him and fell asleep due to fatigue.

He thought maybe if it was these two and Ling he could find true happiness in this world.

Jian Wei was sitting in a chair in a corner of the room looking at Zhang, with a smile on his face.

Im alive. Although Im still a bit tired Zhang replied with a smile.

A while later Yuying woke up to find that Zhang was no longer in a coma and was intently looking at her. A broad smile covered her face as she jumped and hugged him.

Due to Yuying jumping onto Zhang Ai woke up and she too jumped at him. The three of them stayed like this for a while in their own little world. No one wanted to say anything to ruin the moment. They simply stayed in this position embracing each other with broad smiles on their face happy to be alive and to be together.

Oops looks like Im interrupting. Ill just leave the food here and not bother you three. The sailor said as he winked at Zhang and left with a smile on his face.

That reminds me! I won the bet! I sank that last ship! Zhang yelled looking at the two girls.

Yuying and Ais faces became even more red after they heard his words.

Nope thats my wish. Zhang said as he looked at her with an even broader smile.

Seeing this Yuying gave in and leaned in to give Zhang a kiss on the other cheek. Her face moved closer to his and she could feel his breath touch her skin. The world fell into silence as she moved closer and closer.

Zhang! I almost forgot I have something to discuss with you! Jian Wei yelled out as he opened the door and walked in.

Once the door was closed he could be heard saying, Man kids these days doing those things and its not even noon yet.

Gahh Im not doing this anymore! She yelled as she tried to get up.

Afterwards she sat up and stared at him with wide eyes and a confused look on her face.

Not knowing what to say and her face being so red that steam could start shooting out of her ears any second Yuying ran out of the room while covering her face with her hands.
