Asura Bloodline Is Badass

"We're finally almost there. Life at sea has really been miserable."

Lin Xiao sat off to the side, watching the scenery over the sea while admiring the schools of fish beneath the water.

Just then, a piercing roar rang out beside the ship. Streaks of fiery red light shot from a vessel not far away.

Lin Xiao rose to his feet, stared at the fireballs in midair, and frowned. "Which suicidal bastard dares to ambush me?"

"This is bad, Lord Soul Master! Pirates! It's pirates!"

"Pirates?" Lin Xiao froze. Wasn't this the Star Luo Empire's waters? Why were there pirates here?

The nearby fishing boats hurriedly scattered in every direction, afraid of getting hit.

As for the captain—the old man—he collapsed directly onto the deck. He had encountered pirates before, and usually, paying them some money was enough.

But he had never expected them to unleash Soul Skills right from the start.

"Ship ahead, stop immediately! Otherwise, we will sink you into the depths of the sea!"

The old man looked toward Lin Xiao. At this point, he could only listen to Lord Soul Master's opinion.

He was merely a Soul Elder. Before Lin Xiao, he was nothing but a little brother.

Lin Xiao stroked his chin and watched the pirate ship draw closer. "Stop the ship. If we take a few more hits, it'll probably sink."

The old man hurriedly nodded, ran to the side, and threw the anchor into the sea.

"Yo-ho!"

"Yeah, they chickened out! Hahaha!"

"Brothers, get on them! Take all their money and rape their women! Hahaha!"

A burly man wielding a machete roared at the ship in the distance.

Looking at the pirate crew now within reach, Lin Xiao grew interested. He wanted to see what these beasts intended to do.

Very quickly, the pirates' agility-type Soul Master landed on the deck and immediately subdued the captain.

Several large characters were painted on the pirate ship: Crimson Sand Pirates. At the same time, the people aboard rushed over one after another, waving machetes wildly.

"Boss, they're all under control. Damn it, there are only two of them."

The bald man's expression changed drastically. He grabbed the captain by the neck and roared, "What the hell were you doing? Why are there only two people?"

"M-My lord, I... I'm only transporting goods. I don't know anything else."

The bald man slapped the old man to the ground and turned to the others.

"Fucking bad luck!"

"You lot, search the rooms. See if there's anything valuable and take it all!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Lin Xiao looked around. Three of these pirates had reached the Spirit Emperor rank, while their leader was a Soul Saint.

Judging by his aura, he should be a level seventy-two Soul Saint.

If they fought, he was not sure whether the ship would be destroyed.

"Li Bai, are you confident you can kill him?"

"Master, I have a fifty percent chance."

"Forget it. Leave it to me."

A fifty percent chance was worse than doing it himself. If he acted personally, it would be an instant kill no matter what.

Lin Xiao took a large step forward. In an instant, a terrifying black killing intent faintly emanated from his body.

Everyone on the ship turned their gaze toward him.

"Hm?" The Soul Saint frowned slightly as well.

"Who are you?"

Lin Xiao's eyes were blood-red, as if the God of Slaughter himself had descended.

At the sight, everyone retreated several meters, their eyes filled with terror.

Under that aura, they felt as though they had fallen into an ice pit, chilled to the bone.

It was as if they would be devoured by that killing intent the very next second and die without even a burial place.

Lin Xiao shrugged and asked, "Shouldn't pirates be on the high seas? Why have you suddenly appeared in the Star Luo Empire's waters?"

For some reason, the bald brute actually answered, "Because I paid them."

Lin Xiao waved his right hand, and a blood-red longsword suddenly appeared in his palm.

The terrifying killing intent made even the surrounding air begin to freeze. The overwhelming stench of blood was even more horrifying.

"Who exactly are you?!"

The bald man's face changed drastically as he shouted.

"The one who will kill you."

With a flash of light, Lin Xiao appeared behind the bald man at some unknown moment. Before anyone could react, blood burst from the bald man's body.

The surrounding structures were stained blood-red.

"Ah!"

The three Spirit Emperors' legs went weak with fright, and terror surged from the depths of their hearts.

"Ret... retreat! Retreat!"

Someone shouted, and every member of the pirate crew fled at top speed, practically wishing they could grow two more legs.

Watching the pirates scatter in every direction, Lin Xiao's lips curled upward slightly. He raised the Asura Divine Sword high in his right hand.

In that instant, the sky changed from blue to blood-red. The entire sea seemed affected by the heavens, its waters turning the color of blood as well.

At the same time, a red pillar of light burst from Lin Xiao's body. That terrifying pressure suppressed everyone onto the ship almost instantly.

This was the first time he had used the Asura Divine Sword martial soul since coming to this world. Normally, Lin Xiao had Li Bai to help him, so he rarely needed to act personally.

The strongest among these people were merely Spirit Emperors, while Li Bai could be considered nearly invincible before them.

But Lin Xiao was different. He wanted to see just how terrifying his own strength truly was. After all, he was the biological grandson of the Asura God King.

"Third Soul Skill, Blood Sky!"

"What?! A third... a hundred-thousand-year soul ring!"

The three Spirit Emperors nearly pissed themselves, their eyes full of terror. They had never felt this way before, but the moment they saw Lin Xiao's hundred-thousand-year soul ring, they knew it was over. Completely over.

Pillars of red light shone down upon the pirates. Instantly, every pirate froze like a corpse.

Their eyes were lifeless, their souls already drained away. Slowly, their bodily functions rapidly declined. Soon, their bodies turned into dried corpses, before finally becoming clouds of ash that vanished into the sea.

The captain sucked in a cold breath, his eyes filled with fear. Had this child really come from Sea God Island?

After dealing with the trouble, Lin Xiao withdrew the Asura Divine Sword martial soul, and the sky and sea returned to their former appearance.

Lin Xiao stroked his chin. This body was truly powerful. He could possess soul rings without hunting soul beasts, and there was no possibility of backlash.

Worthy of the bloodline of the Asura God, one of the three great enforcers.

Its reputation was well deserved. It was unbelievably powerful.

"Alright, everything has been dealt with. Hurry up and get moving."

The captain had yet to recover from his shock. But when he saw Lin Xiao give him a look, he instantly snapped awake.

"Don't tell anyone about what happened today. Otherwise, you'll end up exactly like them. Understand?"

The captain hurriedly nodded at the icy voice by his ear. He did not dare provoke this God of Slaughter.
