Chapter 1068 Unwilling to Leave

Facing the Red Earl's aggressive questioning, Yixiao behaved unusually calm and composed.

He smiled and said slowly, "I just want to stop this meaningless fight. You know, I am also on this ship now! If the war really gets more intense, I am afraid that even I will not be able to escape and will be deeply involved."

After hearing Yixiao's words, the Red Earl did not make any response. He just narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the other party thoughtfully, as if he wanted to see through Yixiao's true thoughts through his calm face.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat solemn and the entire scene fell into silence.

However, at this moment, an angry shout suddenly rang out, breaking this brief silence.

Ryan, who was standing behind the Red Earl, strode forward and pointed at Yixiao angrily, scolding him: "Humph! Stop talking nonsense and telling lies here! I have fought with you before, and I know your background very well! You are obviously a member of that damn navy!"

Ryan's sudden roar successfully attracted Yixiao's attention.

He slowly turned his head and at the same time activated his powerful Observation Haki to sense the emotional guy in front of him.

As the observation Haki unfolded, a clear picture gradually emerged in Yixiao's mind - the color of the aura emanating from Ryan was becoming brighter and brighter.

"Oh my! It's Mr. Guihu! It's been a long time since we last met!"

With a smile on his face, he greeted the other person warmly and friendly.

This sudden scene really made Ryan feel a little overwhelmed.

He stared at the guy in front of him with wide eyes and thought to himself: "This bastard, why is he being so polite to me? It's as if we know each other very well."

Ryan held the Aozhan tightly in his hand, and was speechless for a moment. He opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say at all.

At this moment, the Red Earl, who had been silent on the side, suddenly broke the deadlock.

He stared at the other person sharply and said slowly, "Since you are unwilling to stand up and help the navy to fight against us, then from now on, you'd better not do anything and just stay here quietly."

"Just wait a moment. Once Kuro successfully kills Aokiji, I can assure you that I will let you go safely."

After hearing the Red Earl's words, a barely perceptible hint of thought flashed across Yixiao's originally calm face.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yixiao. Everyone was secretly wondering what decision he would make next.

However, to the surprise of everyone present, when everyone thought Yixiao would nod and agree without hesitation, he actually shook his head slightly.

He responded in a firm and unquestionable tone: "I'm really sorry, I can't agree to this matter."

Almost as Yixiao's words of refusal came out of his mouth, a deafening roar suddenly came from the sky!

Then, a dazzling bolt of lightning, like a giant dragon with bared fangs and claws, cut through the sky and came straight down on Yixiao's head with devastating power!

In the next moment, Yixiao suddenly grabbed the long knife with his backhand, and a trace of determination and ruthlessness flashed between his brows.

Then, without hesitation, he swung the long sword in his hand into the air!

There was only a muffled "hum" sound, and it seemed as if the entire space was shaking.

At the same time, an extremely powerful gravity instantly attached to the extremely sharp blade.

This gravity was like a mountain crushing an egg, and it struck the lightning that was rushing towards it with unparalleled power.

When the two collided, time seemed to freeze for a moment.

However, in just a blink of an eye, accompanied by a crisp "pop" sound, the originally fierce and terrifying lightning was crushed by gravity without any resistance!

For a moment, only tiny dots of lightning flashed faintly in the sky, like a meteor gradually disappearing in the night sky, and finally slowly disappeared...

When the Red Earl saw this scene, his originally peaceful expression froze instantly, as if covered by a layer of frost, and his face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

His hawk-like sharp eyes were cast at Yi Xiao with undisguised malice and hostility.

He clenched his teeth tightly and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "You rejected my proposal so straightforwardly. Does that mean you have decided to stand on the opposite side of us and become our enemy?"

Facing the Red Earl's aggressive questioning, Yixiao appeared unusually calm.

He shook his head slowly and said softly, "No, I have never had such an idea. I have no ill will towards either of you, and I don't want to get involved in your fight. My only wish is to stop this meaningless battle from spreading further."
