Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

The sky was gradually covered by a thick ink-colored veil, clouds rolling as a storm was about to break.

Aboard the deck, Chen Qi's hunter boots continuously pressed down.

The skeleton captain's skull cracked, its yellowed black teeth clenched tightly together as if proclaiming the majesty and terror it held in life!

As the once gallivanting ghost ship captain, it could not accept such humiliation!

Green flames spat from its mouth as it cursed,

"Human, if you do not cease, I will make a piss pot out of your skull, cutlery from your ribs, and a helmet for my little brother from your pelvis..."

Black tentacles appeared on Chen Qi's right thigh, spiraling with powerful Qi Power and entwining around his leg to form an unprecedented amount of energy!

Crack! Snap!

The ghost captain's sturdy skull instantly split in half!

Its swaying body bent down sharply, snatching its shattered skull back from under Chen Qi's feet.

Had that empty skull finally come to its senses... Chen Qi assumed the pose of holding a blade.

The ghost captain, cradling its half-broken skull:

"Minions! What are you looking at! Slaughter this human for me!"

Under the ghost captain's command, green flames instantly soaked through Chen Qi's trousers.

Crack! Snap!

The skeleton pirates wielded rusty swords; they had no flesh but were spirits from the cracks.

Since they had no bodies of flesh, their attacks did not consider defense.

Surrounded, huh... Chen Qi's gaze turned icy as he spat out a breath of life force, surveying his surroundings, quickly analyzing the situation.

The ghost ship could evolve by continuously plundering merchant vessels, becoming stronger and stronger.

At sea, it was also because of ghost ships that more and more hunter groups were deployed.

If left unchecked, it would only make the coastal waters worse and more troublesome.

What's more, there was an energy core on the ghost ship.

The one Chen Qi had obtained before was just a secondary core of a ghost ship.

If he could obtain two cores, his own vessel might be driven by a dual-core system!

Chen Qi took a deep breath.

There was no doubt that this was the best opportunity to deal with this damned ghost ship.

Moreover, it was the perfect time to test the results of his recent intensive training!

"Attack!"

At the ghost captain's command, nearly a hundred skeleton pirates surged from all directions like a tide.

The skeleton pirates' greatest strength was their sheer numbers and their fearlessness of pain!

Even a third-tier Transcendent could be pierced through the back due to an oversight by the skeleton pirates!

This was an attack without any semblance of order!

"Huff..."

Chen Qi took a deep breath, spreading life force throughout his body and constraining it, turning his upper body, blade, and hands into a ready-to-release spinning top.

Charging, charging—

Then, at the moment when the skeletons swung their sabers, he released all his Qi Power—instantaneously!

Shadow Blade Slash, Qi Blade Great Rotation!

Accompanied by a piercing howl, the rusty blades quickly raised a dark flame, slicing a sharp rotation!

The hundred skeleton pirates surrounding from all directions were cut down like fragile straw, shattered by the black shadow energy and clattering to the ground.

The green flames at his feet were also pushed back by the massive airflow created by the rotating long blade!

Fresh circular marks were added to the worn-out deck.

Sudden silence fell around him.

At that moment, within five meters of Chen Qi, the only monster that remained standing was the ghost ship captain.

"Huh, interesting! But your physical strength is limited, while our power is infinite and inexhaustible,"

The ghost captain repositioned its head and picked up its weapon again—the cursed anchor.

Its weapon, a wet cursed anchor like a huge hammer, wielded a heavy sensation of drowning with every swing!

Crack! Snap!

More and more skeleton pirates stood up once again.

Chen Qi, wielding a long knife ablaze with sharp, black flames, tucked it back at his waist, assuming a defensive stance.

The greatest feature of the Ghost Ship captain was that under the power of the Ghost Ship core, he could regenerate endlessly.

At the same time, the Ghost Ship captain also had the Ghost Ship's cannons and a large number of skeleton soldiers at his disposal.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, even a Third-tier Transcendent skilled in combat would find it difficult to take down the Ghost Ship alone,

but now, standing here, there wasn't just Chen Qi.

The Ghost Ship carried no scent of Sea Beasts, and the moment it set foot in the land of the white trees, it was doomed to be devoured completely by the black mud, the Water Elves, and the Hai Yunduos!

Moreover, the other skeleton soldiers were not very intelligent. Without the Ghost Ship captain, they would undoubtedly become playthings for the Sea Beasts.

That is to say, as long as Chen Qi could restrain the Ghost Ship captain, the balance of ultimate victory would surely tip in his favor.

Boom!

"Get out of the way, you continue firing the cannons, block that nearshore overlord!"

The Ghost Ship captain took a step forward and then smashed down with his anchor!

With a height of over two meters, combined with the attributes of a BOSS-level monster, this strike was like a meteorite falling from the sky!

Chen Qi immediately switched to a receiving posture, his blade held horizontally above his head to block the hit.

The immense pressure even caused the deck beneath his feet to crack.

Boom! Boom!

Like venting his anger, the Ghost Ship captain did not hesitate and savagely striked down two more times.

The Ghost Ship captain was a melee-focused BOSS, who, apart from regenerating, also possessed extraordinary agility and strength!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Chen Qi attempted to draw his sword and counterattack twice, but the opponent's attack frequency was too dense, such that he found no opening.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Chen Qi used the Shadow Armor, enduring the Ghost Ship captain's attacks, but even so, his body inevitably suffered bruises.

Just as he thought, the Ghost Ship captain was a powerful adversary!

A powerful one, but not an unbeatable one!

The Ghost Ship captain also realized that its attacks were too weak.

The human before it was no longer of ordinary flesh and blood!

If it didn't take care of the human before it now, their Ghost Ship was surely destined to become wreckage in this vast sea!

If that was the case, it might as well try this strike!

It lifted the anchor high and gathered a massive amount of Spiritual Power, the green ghost fire instantly turning into surging waves.

Anchor Smash, Falling Wave!

In the next second, it ferociously hammered the anchor downward, the green ghost fire crashing down like waves along with the anchor!

The green flames exploded!

The entire Ghost Ship trembled violently under the smash!

A hit!

The Ghost Ship captain felt the vibration in his hands and smiled from within.

Speed and strength! That was why he was so arrogant and despotic in the sea!

Perhaps, I could wait a while, kill this human slowly, wait for that guy to show up, so that the image might add to our ghostly legend... The Ghost Ship captain thought of the things to come after victory.

However, this joy was fleeting.

A drop of icy rain struck its skeletal eye socket.

The next second, it saw a semi-transparent blue tentacle extend from the green fire, entwining its arm.

My attack was blocked, by a Second-tier human body... the Ghost Ship captain internally scoffed.

No, is this really human?

Chen Qi spat out a mouthful of blood, and from the damp Hunter's Clothes there spread out eight thick, twisted tentacles, extending as if limbs.

At the same time, his rusty long knife was also covered in crimson crystals, each looking like a bleeding eye.

Yu Huo entwined!

Meat Cutting Bone Breaking with a blade of raging fury!

Drip drop drip drop! The grey sky swiftly began to pour with rain, continuously beating down on the Ghost Ship.

A sharp glint of cold light flashed in Chen Qi's eyes:

"Ghost Ship captain, stop hiding! Come, let me see your power before you die!"
