In the bustling Damarro Town, numerous residents, merchants, and adventurers watched the scene at the docking port with both excitement and agitation.

Madame Oli raised her head, her fox-like eyes fixed intently on Chen Qi.

In that instant, her fox-like azure pupils seemed to transform into blue rose gun barrels aimed directly at Chen Qi's forehead, brimming with killing intent!

Madame Oli reached out her hand, placed it under Chen Qi's chin, rubbed it slightly, and said in an equally indifferent tone:

"Young man, you have a good physique, but this is not the open sea."

"In the domain of Moonstone City, one must not abandon etiquette."

"Similarly, the territories under Moonstone City's jurisdiction are not places where petty sea pirates can openly show themselves."

As Madame Magic Bullet Oli spoke softly, the captains of numerous warships at the docking port were already poised for action.

"Madame Oli, all warships have activated their artillery batteries!"

"Madame Oli, we can launch devastating strikes at any moment!"

"Black Hunter! Raise your hands and perform the surrender gesture! Otherwise, we'll teach you a lesson!"

The captains on the warships, eager to prove themselves and get into the newspapers, shouted.

Chen Qi put his hands in his pockets and said quite leisurely:

"Is that so?"

This time, Madame Magic Bullet had mobilized both Moonstone City's guard fleet and the family's hunter corps simultaneously!

It could be said that this scale had exceeded what he and the Ice Witch had planned.

However, in their original plan with the Ice Witch, they needed to deal with Moonstone City's council anyway.

To ensure the council members didn't cause trouble, they had to teach them a lesson.

Especially for these major families that dominated Moonstone City, ordinary negotiations and gentle words would have no effect.

Only absolute violence could make them submit!

Chen Qi raised his right hand, formed a fist, and gently knocked on Madame Oli's head.

Thump! Thump!

Chen Qi smiled slightly:

"This sound... indicates a not very intelligent head."

"Impudent scoundrel!"

Madame Oli gritted her teeth, crossed her legs, and then suddenly snapped her fingers.

Snap!

As the council president, how could she accept such humiliation!

This time, Madame Magic Bullet had mobilized both Moonstone City's defense fleet and the family's hunter corps simultaneously!

With dark black flames, one hundred pitch-black bullets carrying black energy waves shot out!

As they flew through the air, they emitted terrifying owl-like shrieks!

Howling Magic Bullets 3.0!

Newly forged in the Workshop by the Magic Bullet Family and Steam Hand Workshop, once hit, they would leave terrifying howling wounds on the skin!

The wounds would grow weeping human-faced pustules that rapidly absorbed the victim's life force.

Even third-tier Goblet-affinity Transcendents, if hit and unable to receive timely treatment, would die within one minute!

Ultimately, the deceased corpse would continuously emit "hissing, hissing" wails while oozing pus.

It could be said this was an extremely cruel weapon!

On the market, each Howling Magic Bullet was worth an astonishing fifty thousand Shell Coins!

In the distance, onlookers couldn't help but marvel at the Magic Bullet Family's immense resources.

What was an expensive tool for adventurers was merely conventional ammunition in the eyes of the Magic Bullet Family.

However, facing the wailing magic bullets, the Black Hunter didn't make any significant evasive movements.

Using this kind of weapon? Chen Qi tilted his head.

Facing the Howling Magic Bullets, he couldn't even be bothered to use Ember's Touch, simply raising his right hand to catch the incoming bullets.

Bang! Bang!

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

A hail of bullets!

The shrieking bullets densely struck Chen Qi's body, emitting sounds of steel clashing!

The snipers' aim was flawless, all hits scored!

They hit him!

The numerous marksmen took deep breaths, ecstatic internally.

They had successfully hit the Black Hunter!

However, their joy didn't last even a second before instantly vanishing.

Everyone was shocked.

They saw that except for the bullet Chen Qi held in his hand for examination, all other bullets had stopped one centimeter away from his clothes.

The sharp spiritual energy entwined around Chen Qi's body had intercepted all bullets, which fell like scattered beads.

Chen Qi examined the bullet for a moment, then casually flicked it away:

"Is that all?"

The Steel Qi he cultivated with the Blood Blade Pirates could help his body mitigate numerous injuries.

And after the ascension of Blade Spiritual Energy, this passive defense closely connected to spiritual energy had become even stronger.

The essence of these magic bullets was a curse toxin infused with blood.

Simply put, the Howling Bullet's special effects could only trigger if they actually caused damage.

And these howling bullets couldn't even penetrate his defense.

Madame Oli frowned and murmured:

"Spiritual energy ascension..."

Those newspapers that liked to exaggerate hadn't overstated the Black Hunter's strength.

Power comparable to the Blackfin Crew's Seven Sea Pirate Generals!

The reports in newspapers about his victories against the Dragon Tamer King and Blood Demon Doctor contained no embellishments.

If anything, those usually exaggerating newspapers had actually underestimated the Black Hunter's strength.

A recent third-tier actually completing spiritual energy ascension so quickly!

Truly worthy of being the monster featured on White Pigeon Times' front page.

Madame Oli propped her face with her hand, the magic bullet runes on her skin emitting a dim glow:

"Black Hunter, would you be interested in joining the Magic Bullet Family.

After the council declares your crimes and metes out punishment, the Magic Bullet Family wouldn't mind your membership..."

Chen Qi thought for a moment and said:

"Hmm... not interested. I don't plan to join any family for now. After handling a bunch of matters, I might visit the Canary family in the Goldenfinch Kingdom."

The Goldenfinch Kingdom again... Madame Oli thought of her adopted son who went to the Goldenfinch Kingdom. Originally obedient and serious, after returning from the Goldenfinch Kingdom, his temperament completely changed, becoming a hot-tempered ruffian-like daughter.

"What a pity."

What was an expensive tool for adventurers was merely conventional ammunition in the eyes of the Magic Bullet Family.

"It seems you're not prepared to yield. What comes next won't be these light showers anymore."

"Black Hunter, Moonstone City acknowledges your strength, but both you and the Ice Witch must learn humility."

She snapped her fingers again.

Snap!

This time, the lead captains of ten warships gritted their teeth and took deep breaths.

That snapping sound!

They were really going to activate the Magic Bullet Annihilation Cannon!

The commander at the forefront of the warship formation said in a booming voice:

"Everyone! Follow orders, activate the Magic Bullet Annihilation Cannon!"

The Magic Bullet Annihilation Cannon, with its magic bullet penetration power, was a weapon belonging exclusively to the Magic Bullet Family!

Whether steel, or materials five times, even ten times harder, nothing could withstand its attack.

It could blast through massive warship barriers and break through fourth-tier Goblet affinity users' defenses!

Magic bullets, penetrating everything!

Normally, weapons of this level were used against giant beasts attacking the coast or other warships.

But now, their ten warships were aiming all their Magic Bullet Annihilation Cannons at a single human, at the Black Hunter!

"Such a hassle..."

Chen Qi tilted his head, looking at the numerous warships aiming at him.

In terms of power, the Magic Bullet Annihilation Cannon could indeed break through his defense.

But without assistance, this kind of charged artillery attack could never hit him.

Its only function would be to destroy this newly built docking port.

Are they trying to show off that they possess weapons capable of breaking fourth-tier Transcendents' defenses... Chen Qi looked down at the proud Madame Magic Bullet:

The numerous gunners took deep breaths, ecstatic internally.

Madame Magic Bullet was momentarily stunned.

Chen Qi extended his right hand and also snapped his fingers:

"Madame Magic Bullet, let me show you my troops too..."

Your troops... Madame Magic Bullet looked toward the Nether Sea Ghost Ship.

However, apart from Burry on the deck trembling all over and looking completely bewildered, she didn't sense any offensive spiritual energy.

At that moment, the warship commander continued:

"Don't be intimidated, continue firing!"

On the ten warships' cannon barrels, thunderous runes continuously gathered, high-heat spiritual energy converging at a single point, preparing to shoot—

Boom!

The sharp spiritual energy swirling around Chen Qi's body had intercepted all bullets, which fell like scattered beads.

A massive tail emerged from the sea surface, directly smashing into the fleet's flagship.

Its tail deeply embedded into the ship's side, tearing the warship to pieces like a giant beast shredding its prey!

"What is that?!"

Instantly, people's terrified screams, the sound of metal tearing, and the ocean's roar intertwined!

"Madame Oli! Save us!"

Under everyone's astonished gazes, a ferocious sea dragon emerged from the seawater.

At that moment, people near the coast took deep breaths.

The Coastal Apex Predator's body was enormous, its size exceeding that of warships, each scale seemingly containing the weight of mountains and rivers.

It was precisely the long-missing Blackship Sea Dragon—the Coastal Apex Predator!

The essence of these magic bullets was a curse toxin infused with blood.

Chen Qi glanced at the Coastal Apex Predator and said calmly:

"Crunch them."

"ROAR!!!!"

The Coastal Apex Predator opened its massive mouth filled with sharp fangs, emitting an ear-splitting roar. The sound waves cut through the air like blades, making everyone on the ships feel an indescribable fear and despair!

Sailors panicked, some trying to maneuver the ships to escape this terrifying abyss, others standing frozen in place with vacant eyes, as if their souls had been frozen by this primal fear.

The Coastal Apex Predator lunged at the warships with lightning speed, its massive tail swinging like a giant hammer, violently striking ship hulls. Steel decks instantly cracked, ship bodies shaking violently!

Everyone at the docking port seemed to be welcoming a horrifying natural disaster.

Under the Coastal Apex Predator's power, the fleet's formation was rapidly destroyed.

However, five warships remained calm, operating their Magic Bullet Annihilation Cannons, immediately aiming at Chen Qi!

Yet the Coastal Apex Predator quickly moved in front of Chen Qi, using its body to block the path of the Magic Bullet Annihilation Cannons.

Dragon Cannon!

The Coastal Apex Predator gathered boiling power in its mouth, like a seething furnace, firing a Dragon Cannon that destroyed all five Magic Bullet Annihilation Cannons!

For a moment, artillery fire filled the sky.

"!!!"

Madame Magic Bullet's fleet instantly fell into unprecedented panic.

The Coastal Apex Predator appearing here was far more terrifying than rumored.

Well done, big doggie... Chen Qi smiled slightly.

Under his dedicated cultivation, the Coastal Apex Predator had long surpassed its former self, possessing power comparable to fourth-tier legends!

Now, it was infinitely close to the Black Lantern Dragon!

On the sea surface, it was the embodiment of disaster.

Even, if he could somehow transfer the power of the Dragon-Furnace Body skill card to the Coastal Apex Predator!

Madame Oli propped her face with her hand, the magic bullet runes on her skin emitting an eerie glow:

The current Coastal Apex Predator wasn't yet its complete form.

As the Coastal Apex Predator attacked, Water Spirit No.1 also sprang into action, creating illusions over the sea and continuously using Water Explosive Bombs to bombard the warships.

Although Water Spirit No.1 rarely took action.

After the council declares your crimes and metes out punishment, the Magic Bullet Family wouldn't mind your joining..."

On the open sea, without legendary assistance, Water Spirit No.1 could also make them suffer considerably.

"ROAR!"

The Coastal Apex Predator raised its head to the sky, emitting a dragon's roar.

Ten warships were far from enough—it wanted to fight twenty warships!

The entire docking port instantly became a colosseum between the disaster-like Coastal Apex Predator and Moonstone City's defense fleet.

The Goldenfinch Kingdom again... Madame Oli thought of her adopted son who went to the Goldenfinch Kingdom. Originally obedient and serious, after returning from the Goldenfinch Kingdom, his temperament completely changed, becoming a hot-tempered ruffian-like daughter.

Mayor Damarro and the numerous merchants stayed in the distance, unable to believe their eyes.

Chen Qi's identity was actually the Black Hunter!

This was no ordinary pirate, but a monster famous throughout the seas!

A monster among monsters!

Chen Qi watched the Coastal Apex Predator's training in the distance, then looked down again at Madame Oli, saying:

"It seems you're not prepared to yield. What comes next won't be these light showers anymore."

"Don't tell me you only brought these small fries to stop us?"

Small fries... Madame Oli frowned.

The noble her actually being called small fries by a pirate one day.

The fifth-tier soul merchant sent from the Imperial Capital for assistance, and the Navy Marshal, both had their own matters to handle.

Apart from the Tiger Shark General who was rushing over and the new general Queen Bee replacing the White Seagull General, she was currently the highest combat power at the docking port!

Madame Oli didn't hesitate;

she stood up from her chair.

Both sides exchanged no unnecessary words!

Fight!

To prevent accidental injuries, neither side directly used techniques, instead adopting the most primitive comparison method!

A spiritual energy field competition!

Typically, the level of spiritual energy fields could determine the outcome between two legends!

Hammer-affinity sublimated spiritual energy!

As an Artillery Specialist, Madame Oli's furnace heart beat fiercely, the magic bullet runes on her skin bursting forth with full power!

Bluefire-like spiritual energy emerged from her skin, suddenly raising the temperature of the entire docking port as if they were inside a massive furnace.

Chen Qi no longer concealed himself, releasing his own spiritual energy.

The two spiritual energy fields briefly clashed!

Crack!

The blade-like spiritual energy field directly cut through Madame Oli's skin.

A drop of blood fell to the ground.

Madame Oli's expression finally showed unwillingness, and fear.

Her spiritual energy field had been pierced.

It could blast through massive warship barriers and break through fourth-tier Goblet affinity users' defenses!

This is someone who cleared an A-rank rift... Madame Oli exclaimed in shock.

And in that moment of shock!

Chen Qi, hands in pockets, suddenly condensed a massive black hand composed of intertwined tentacles behind him, then slammed it down fiercely onto Madame Magic Bullet.

Boom!

Madame Magic Bullet was directly punched into the ground!

Chen Qi looked at Madame Magic Bullet on the ground and said:

"Madame Oli, do sit. Showing such a ridiculous posture in front of guests is impolite. Don't forget your family's etiquette."

Sit... Madame Magic Bullet used her hands to support the ground, struggling to rise, trying to maintain a standing posture.

She struggled to straighten her legs, but her thighs remained in a bent position, continuously trembling.

At this moment, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't maintain elegance, maintain the Magic Bullet Family's etiquette before this pirate.

The person before her, though not the elegant Ice Witch of legend, wasn't someone she could dominate either.

She had intended to pressure the Black Hunter, teach him a lesson, thereby gaining negotiation leverage with the Ice Witch.

However, a body with spiritual energy ascension, a dragon-type pet beast comparable to legends!

Now it seemed her assumptions were utterly naive.

These legends who battled in the Rift Sea weren't existences that a privileged lady like her could contend with.

"I, I..."

Madame Magic Bullet raised her head, her hair completely disheveled.

Why do all marksmen insist on approaching warriors? Chen Qi looked at the disheveled Madame Magic Bullet:

"Madame, if you can't hold on, why not come aboard to talk."

"Madame Magic Bullet, show your true capabilities. I don't have time to appreciate your family's weapon demonstration."

Big white fur? Who is he referring to? Could it be a dog's nickname? Is he continuing to insult me? Madame Magic Bullet's eyes were full of astonishment.

However, she didn't have time for extra contemplation.

Just maintaining her stance, upholding the Magic Bullet Family's dignity, was already difficult enough.

Chen Qi raised his head, looking toward the Ice Witch who had been observing from the deck for quite some time:

"Right, big white fur?"

Big white fur? The Ice Witch bit her lip, tightened her grip on the book she was reading, and didn't respond.
