746: Chapter 746 If he is a god, then I am his father!

Golden light permeated the air.

Ye Chen's fingers traced mysterious trajectories in the air, each stroke carrying a heart-stopping pressure.

The golden rune seemed alive, slowly rotating in the air and emitting a searing light.

Shala's pupils contracted sharply, and an unprecedented sense of unease surged in his heart.

"You... what is this?"

Ye Chen did not answer.

The final stroke fell.

"Hum—"

The golden rune suddenly exploded, turning into countless tiny golden specks of light that danced in the air like fireflies.

Then, they drifted toward the controlled pirates.

Those pirates were approaching Ye Chen, their footsteps mechanical and stiff, with eerie smiles on their faces.

But when the specks of light landed on them and sank into their skin...

Suddenly! All the pirates' movements stopped simultaneously; their bodies began to tremble, and they started foaming at the mouth.

"Ahhh!!!"

A shrill, ear-piercing scream rang out.

The pirates began to bleed from their seven orifices one by one, and then they collapsed in succession.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Over a hundred pirates fell to the ground in unison, like dominoes.

This time, they were truly down. No one climbed back up.

On the wasteland, there was a deathly silence.

Yierqi lay in the ditch, his face changing drastically: "Dead... dead?"

He could not believe his eyes.

The pirates who had been raised by Shala using eerie power had actually been completely wiped out by Ye Chen with a single rune!

Qian Duofu's eyes widened.

"Good heavens... is Mr. Ye a celestial being?"

"I just saw him drawing runes in the void!"

He turned his head to look at Yi Yue, his eyes filled with awe, "Miss Yi Yue, what... what exactly is the background of your man?"

Yi Yue looked at Ye Chen's back and did not speak.

There was shock in her eyes too. But there was more... pride.

This was her man.

Night Owl stood behind Ye Chen, her face complex.

This guy... just how many trump cards does he still have hidden?

Every time she thought she had seen through this man's strength, he would bring out something new, telling her... what you see is only the tip of the iceberg.

Shala stood where he was, the sneer on his face completely frozen.

This... how could this be possible?

The pirates he brought had been strengthened by that lord using Mental Power, their bodies were countless times stronger than ordinary people, and they were fortified by the power of that compass; even ordinary bullets couldn't kill them.

But what about Ye Chen? A single rune, and he solved them all???

Shala looked terrified: "You... what exactly did you do?!"

Ye Chen did not speak, just walked toward him.

And with every step he took, Shala's face went a shade paler.

He instinctively retreated, wanting to put some distance between them, but found his legs were like they had been filled with lead, too heavy to take a step.

"You... don't come over here!"

Shala panicked even more, instinctively pulling out his gun.

But... Ye Chen stopped right in front of him and nonchalantly slapped the gun away. The gun fell to the ground.

Shala's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively swung his fist toward Ye Chen's face.

But Ye Chen just tilted his head, nonchalantly dodging the punch.

Then, he raised his right foot. "Bang!" He kicked Shala's right knee.

"Crack—" The sound of bone breaking was ear-piercing.

Shala's right leg suddenly bent at an impossible angle, his kneecap shattered into several pieces.

He let out a shrill scream, toppling sideways and falling to the ground.

He clutched his right leg, his whole body convulsing in pain. "You... you..."

Ye Chen looked down at him and spoke indifferently. "You don't need to ask, and don't waste your breath."

"You just need to honestly answer my questions."

Shala gritted his teeth, fear and anger intertwined in his eyes.

He was the biggest pirate leader on Thor Island, with thousands of men under him, running rampant in these waters for decades; it had always been him hitting others, and no one dared to touch a hair on his head.

Today, his leg had been kicked and broken by someone. This feeling was worse than death.

"I... I won't cooperate with you!" Shala roared angrily.

He was Shala. He was the king of these waters. He could not bow his head to any stranger.

Ye Chen looked at him and smiled. "I just said, if you don't cooperate, I will beat you until you do."

"Do you think I'm joking with you?"

Shala's expression changed: "You dare..."

"Bang!" Before he could finish, Ye Chen's right foot had already stepped on his other ankle.

"Crack!" The sound of bone breaking rang out once again.

Shala's left ankle was crushed raw.

The shattered bone pierced the skin, exposing white bone splinters, and blood gushed out, staining the surrounding gravel dark red.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

For a moment, he let out a pig-like howl, rolling on the ground, his hands desperately trying to cover the crushed foot, but he didn't dare to touch it, his whole body convulsing in pain.

To the point that tears, snot, and sweat mixed together, covering his face.

Where was there any trace of a pirate leader's majesty left?

Ye Chen's expression was calm and unruffled, asking word by word: "Are you still going to be stubborn?"

Shala lay on the ground, his eyes full of fear. This man... was too ruthless.

He didn't blink when killing, and he didn't blink when crippling people.

He said he would beat you until you cooperated, and he really did beat you until you cooperated. No discounts whatsoever.

Shala couldn't hold on anymore. "I'll talk..."

Ye Chen squatted down and looked at him: "Who sent you?"

Shala explained in terror. "It... it was a Black-robed man."

"He was wrapped in a black cloak; I couldn't see his face, only a pair of eyes."

Shala's pupils contracted at the memory, as if he saw those heart-stopping eyes again.

"Those eyes were twisted!"

"Like two snakes moving in their sockets; he only looked at me once, and I felt submissive to him."

"I didn't dare to betray him, and I dared even less not to do things for him..."

"He said his name was Luosha, an envoy sent down by God."

"He also said he wanted to establish a new order in these waters, making all of us pirates work for him."

Ye Chen's brows furrowed slightly: "An envoy sent down by God?"

"Yes! He said it himself!"

Shala nodded desperately, "He said he is God's envoy, representing God's will; whoever doesn't listen to him is an enemy of God and will be destroyed."

Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh. "God?"

"If he is a God, I am the father of that God."

He squatted down, looking down at Shala, "His target is me?"

Shala didn't dare to hide anything and nodded quickly. "Yes!"

"He said he wanted us to guard the road to Black Prison for a period of time."

"Wait until the sacrifice inside is successful, then let you in; that way..."

"He can seize your abilities."

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. As expected. The other party was aiming for him.

And. Letting Night Owl come back in the first place was also to lure him over.

Things seemed to be getting more and more interesting.

Ye Chen stood up and looked down at Shala. "He is in Black Prison?"

"Yes, he is in... in Black Prison." Shala swallowed hard.

"And he has already controlled Black Prison."

"He used eerie power to control the original leader of Black Prison, Jessica."

"Then he used the same methods to control the high-ranking officials of Black Prison one by one."

"Now the entire Black Prison, from top to bottom, listens to him."

Ye Chen was silent. He had already learned from Night Owl that something had happened to Jessica, but he didn't expect the situation to be more serious than anticipated.

The entire Black Prison had been controlled by the person named Luosha.

Night Owl stood behind Ye Chen, and upon hearing this, her fists clenched until they creaked.

Her master, Jessica, was the person she respected the most.

Now, that scumbag had actually controlled her master and the entire Black Prison.

She must... kill that bastard with her own hands!

Ye Chen took a deep breath and said nonchalantly. "Take us to Black Prison."

Upon hearing this, Shala nodded crazily: "I'll take... I'll take you there, but my legs are crippled, how can I take you?"

"Simple." Ye Chen took out a few Silver Needles and shot them directly into several acupuncture points on Shala's legs.

Then. He transmitted true energy from a distance, directly using the [Thirteen Needles of Gods and Ghosts].

An eerie scene unfolded... the originally shattered leg bones actually recovered to their original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even the mangled flesh was reshaped along with it.

When Shala saw this scene, he was completely stunned.

Because. His legs were really healed. And... there was no feeling of pain at all.
