In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 275 Space Pirates

However, in this world, no matter how clever one is, if one is weak, one is helpless in most cases.

That's how it is right now.

These Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators of Shating knew perfectly well that there was a trap involved, but the problem was that this matter was beyond their control. Even the few Sun and Moon Realm cultivators in their sects might just be pawns.

In the end, a total of seventeen people from the mountains and seas were chosen to preside over this "secret treasure" event, in an effort to trap Shen Xing.

However, we still have to wait for Shen Xing to take the initiative to set off.

However, Shen Xing was no longer very interested in Sha Ting. After all, in his opinion, Sha Ting Shan Hai no longer had the courage to fight against him. Every time he saw him, he would take out pills and pay "protection money". Under such circumstances, there was no point in fighting or training.

Shen Xing is not lacking in elixirs these days.

The gains from the Xuanlong Secret Realm during this period, coupled with the trade between the Tianyuan Sect and the Great Shang Dynasty, and the gains he had previously received from Sha Ting, meant that he had enough pills to sustain his cultivation for three or four years.

What's lacking now is a treasure to improve refining efficiency.

For example, the fire seed of the wind.

For example, in another place, there is a treasure called Extreme Yang Thunder Seed, which can be used to temper Yuan Power and accelerate the refining of pills.

The problem is that treasures of this caliber are not easy to obtain.

Unless Shen Xing is truly blessed with great fortune and can find wild ones, the only way to obtain these things is to snatch them from the hands of the Sun and Moon.

Therefore, we have to wait until he obtains a weapon capable of dealing with those at the Sun and Moon Realm.

This also made Shen Xing lose interest in finding Sha Ting again. If he wanted to find an opponent to fight before obtaining the weapon, he would rather go to other forces.

There are many forces in the world with a demonic style, and Shating is far from the only one.

This actually saved him some trouble without him even realizing it.

After finishing his daily cultivation, Shen Xing took some time to return to his spaceship, the very same spaceship that was heading to the Wanshang Association.

Under the management of intelligent AI, the spaceship can navigate automatically, but for Shen Xing, this is the first time he has set foot on the vast galaxy, rather than just traversing within the solar system as before.

However, after the initial novelty wore off, I didn't really care anymore.

Because the process was extremely boring.

The universe is so vast that even though human civilization has expanded to an extremely large size, it is still just a drop in the ocean when viewed in the grand scheme of things. Under such circumstances, traveling in the universe is actually incredibly boring, and it is highly unlikely that one will encounter any unexpected events.

Even pirates don't suddenly encounter any spaceship in the vast universe. Most space pirates loiter around space cities or colony planets, which is when they have the opportunity to ambush and plunder other spaceships.

Therefore, what Shen Xing should really worry about is that when he gets close to his destination, there will definitely be a lot of pirates there.

And a small spaceship like his, especially a single one, is practically a fat sheep delivered to his doorstep.

This is also the thing that gives Shen Xing the biggest headache.

Safety isn't a major concern, but getting to the Merchant Guild might not be so easy.

We still need to be prepared.

After briefly checking the spaceship's route and confirming that there were no problems, Shen Xing did not stay on the spaceship alone any longer and turned back to the Xuanlong Secret Realm.

The preparations he was referring to were not anything else, but rather the inscribed armor.

This set of inscribed armor is now fully complete. Although there is still room for improvement, that will be a long process.

Wearing this armor, Shen Xing would be able to fight even against those at the Mountain and Sea Realm within the Human Federation. This was a force not to be underestimated, as the Human Federation did not have many Mountain and Sea Realm experts, and even fewer had fallen to the status of pirates.

"It shouldn't be so bad that we can't even get on the ship," Shen Xing said after checking the armor. He felt fairly confident.

He then continued his spiritual practice.

After refraining from causing trouble for Sha Ting, time passed even faster, and more than two months flew by. As the spaceship gradually approached its destination, Shen Xing's visits to the spaceship became more frequent and frequent, and he even wore armor most of the time when he went there.

He already had a premonition that his first battle in this sea of ​​stars was about to begin.

Finally, after arriving on the spaceship, Shen Xing's gaze sharpened, and in an instant, he entered the spatial rift.

Because this spaceship is no longer in space!

"The AI ​​has been hacked." Shen Xing frowned as he looked at the silent AI from the gap, but quickly realized that it was not a difficult operation like hacking, but simply using the AI's program flow to force it to stop.

That's right. In order to save the spaceship and the lives on board, if the AI ​​determines that it has encountered an irresistible force without receiving orders, it will choose to surrender.

This program can certainly be modified, but generally no one will modify it.

That's how AI works nowadays. When threatened, it obeys the threatening person's orders and enters a silent mode in order to protect the spaceship itself.

Shen Xing silently slipped through the spatial crack and entered the spaceship, arriving outside.

Then he raised an eyebrow.

Their own spaceship was in a large, somewhat old warehouse, with some equipment clearly intended for dismantling placed nearby, suggesting that they were preparing to dismantle their spaceship.

Disassembling and reselling spaceships was a common method used by pirates to dispose of stolen goods.

"As expected, we've been targeted by pirates." Shen Xing laughed, seemingly eager to try his luck.

He had considered many scenarios, the worst of which was being attacked from a distance by pirates, directly destroying the spaceship. In that case, even he would find it difficult to reach the Merchant Guild.

The best outcome would be like this—the opportunity to get close to the pirates!

No rush, let's see how things go first.

Shen Xing remained cautious, mainly because he couldn't easily reveal his ability to disappear instantly within the Human Federation. This ability was extraordinary here and couldn't be easily dismissed with a simple "saint's treasure."

As far as Shen Xing knew, even those at the seventh realm wouldn't dare claim they could create such a treasure that could make someone disappear instantly.

Therefore, Shen Xing first needs to determine the strength of this place.

"The spaceship doesn't seem very big." Shen Xing used his ability to move freely through the space gap to quickly determine that it was only a medium-sized spaceship. Moreover, there weren't many people on board, and their strength wasn't particularly high. At least, he encountered several people who were only at the Body Refinement stage and appeared to be shipwrights or operators.

Not a single martial artist of any caliber was seen.

"They're probably gathered together." Shen Xing guessed easily, so he sped up and quickly began to explore the spaceship.

Fortunately, the spaceship wasn't very big. After hearing some noise, Shen Xing finally entered a large hall.

Suddenly, all sorts of sounds came from the room, and hundreds of people gathered together, drinking fine wine, eating delicious food, and laughing heartily.

"There's money everywhere around this Wanshang Guild!"

"Exactly, they even managed to find a ghost ship like that!"

"That ship isn't cheap; it's worth at least tens of billions. Why don't we just go to the Wanshang Association and sell it all?"

"That's right, we sold it for a penny!"

"Hahaha, I'm going to be rich! The profits from this sale are enough for me to break through to the third realm!"

"."

After listening for a while, Shen Xing realized that these people were indeed pirates, and they were even having a celebration banquet for finding his spaceship.

A small spaceship worth only a few hundred billion is worth holding a celebration party? It seems that these people's strength is indeed very average.

However, after Shen Xing's gaze swept around, he was somewhat surprised to fix his eyes on the three people in the main seat.

These three made no attempt to conceal their auras; they were all actually at the Spirit Realm!

Looking at the others, there are hardly any at the third realm.

"Interesting." Shen Xing narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the three people. He suddenly realized that this matter was probably not as simple as encountering a few petty thieves.

Spirit Realm cultivators are not common in the Human Federation, let alone these three who are all in the late stage of the Spirit Realm, one of whom is even at the peak of the Spirit Realm. Their strength is comparable to Principal Hu before his breakthrough! They can find a place in any space city, immigrant planet, or warband they join.

However, these three were mixed up with a group of weak pirates.

Shen Xing listened from the side but couldn't make heads or tails of it; these people weren't discussing anything confidential in this setting.

He was too lazy to listen anymore.

He sighed softly, "I thought it was someone powerful who dared to steal my spaceship, but it turns out they were just some small fry."

The sound was transmitted to everyone's mind with perfect clarity. The weaker first and second realm martial artists did not react in time, but the three Spirit Realm martial artists changed their expressions suddenly. Each of them rushed towards their armor, even using their martial intent, and their speed was extremely fast!

Their armor was right there beside them.

However, the black figure flashed, and the three of them simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward. They felt the dragon's might was like the sea, and their own Yuan energy flowed extremely slowly. They couldn't even exert their full strength!

Everyone stared in horror at the person who had suddenly appeared in black armor.

"Five, the Fifth Realm!" one of them exclaimed in shock.

The surrounding pirates fell silent. Even those who were half-drunk sobered up instantly, their faces filled with cold sweat, horror, and despair as they stared at the man before them.

Five Realms!

This is an unreachable level for pirates of their caliber!

Let alone the fifth realm, even the fourth realm can be considered a big shot!
