Chapter 278 The Shadow, Conversation.
Upon hearing this sudden voice, Longji trembled, his ferocious expression freezing instantly.
Although he was severely injured, as a level 62 Power Attack-type Battle Soul Emperor, these injuries were far from hindering his perception of the outside world.
At this moment, there was no one alive on the ship, and he hadn't sensed anyone around him, yet now he clearly heard voices lingering all around.
It was either a ghost or a human.
However, Longji didn't believe in ghosts, so the newcomer's strength was definitely no less than his, perhaps even much stronger.
"Who?!"
He abruptly stood up, his eyes flashing with cold light.
His first thought was that news of his injury had spread, and his enemies had come to silence him. Or perhaps Xuanmo's group had caught up with him.
"Heh...who am I?"
As the sinister voice faded, "Crack..." "Boom!"
Suddenly, the cabin door burst open. Amidst the thunderous roar and flashes of lightning, a tall figure draped in a black cloak stood before the door.
"Who are you!?"
Longji, despite his injuries, coldly challenged the figure, simultaneously unleashing his mutated martial soul, the Conjoined Sailfish, unleashing a fierce aura.
As for not daring to attack? That was utterly irrelevant to Longji, an ambitious and ruthless pirate.
"Oh? You do have courage."
The figure's tone held a hint of amusement, but quickly shifted, "But do you have the right now?!"
In an instant, blood filled the cabin.
Then, without any further movement, a powerful pressure erupted from the figure, seven spirit rings silently appearing on his body, shattering Longji's aura.
Then, in the blink of an eye, his seven spirit rings vanished, and a flash of blood appeared. The dark figure standing at the cabin door disappeared from its spot. But the next moment, the dark figure appeared in front of Longji.
Before Longji could react, the dark figure grabbed his throat, instantly rendering Longji unable to resist.
"Heh, how about that? You're not qualified."
Ten breaths later, seeing Longji struggling to breathe, the dark figure let out a cold laugh, flung him away, and sent him crashing into the cabin wall.
"Bang!" "Pfft!"
Longji, who had been slammed against the wall, spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the ground red. "Who are you!?"
"Who I am is not important. What's important is whether you want revenge." The dark figure stood before Longji, looking down at him.
"If you'd like, I'd be happy to help you. Of course, the prerequisite is that you join us and become one of us."
"Heh, why should I agree to something like that?"
"It's nothing." The shadowy figure's tone was nonchalant. "This idea of mine was just a passing fancy. If you're not willing, I don't recommend you become my food."
As he finished speaking, his soul power erupted from his body. Then, a phantom of a creature wearing a cloak, its body covered in scabs as if it had been soaked in water, appeared behind the shadowy figure, filling the cabin with a chilling aura.
"What exactly do you want me to do?"
Longji's face instantly darkened. Although he wasn't afraid of death, that didn't mean he wanted to die, let alone die at the hands of this unknown creature and become his so-called food.
"Hehehe, you made a good choice."
Hearing Longji's words, the shadowy figure's martial soul immediately dissipated, and then it tossed him something. "After your martial soul completes its transformation, I'll come find you again. Don't disappoint me."
After speaking, the shadowy figure disappeared from the spot.
Seeing this, Longji forced himself to sit up and picked up the book from the ground. On the cover of the book was a blood-red skull. However, Longji didn't care about that; after a moment's hesitation, he opened it with a grim face…
"You're awake."
The next morning, on the Dragon Soaring,
Xuanmo and the others looked at Shenger, who was awake but calmly sitting cross-legged in the cabin, and spoke up.
But Shenger remained arrogant in the face of their words, closing his eyes and refusing to utter a single word, no matter what they asked. His demeanor thoroughly enraged Ma Hongjun, who was standing behind Xuanmo.
"What are you pretending for?!"
Ma Hongjun clenched his right fist, about to punch Shenger in the face, but Xuan Mo stopped him. "Fatty, you guys go out first. As for him, I'll talk to him myself."
"Brother Mo, this guy's stubborn..."
Before Ma Hongjun could continue, Xuan Mo stopped him. "I'm interested in some things about them, like which cannons, or other things. If he's willing to tell me, I don't mind owing him a favor and doing him a favor." As Xuan Mo said this, Shenger's closed eyes trembled slightly, but quickly subsided. Except for Xuan Mo, who had been watching him closely, no one noticed the subtle change in his expression.
"But..."
"Alright, Fatty."
Oscar grabbed Ma Hongjun's wrist. "Old Mo has his reasons for doing this, so don't make things worse."
Ma Hongjun, being dragged out by Oscar, immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, but still couldn't escape being pulled out.
Once everyone was out, leaving only Xuan Mo in the cabin, he turned his gaze back to Shenger.
"Now, what do you have to say?"
Shenger opened his eyes. "I won't tell you anything you want to know. Just give up on that idea."
"You know, that's not the answer I want to know, nor is it the real answer you want to give."
Xuan Mo looked intently at Shenger. "From your previous battles, I've sensed that you were holding back in your fight against me. You're not a true pirate at heart."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You know."
Xuan Mo's eyes were fixed on him. "I want some useful information. Of course, that condition will also apply."
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire cabin fell silent. Xuan Mo and Shenger stared at each other, neither willing to back down.
After a long while, Shenger made his choice.
"I'll tell you everything I know in a little while, including the origins of those weapons..."
