Chapter 987: The End

　　When Xu Yang’s gaze landed on the final node where the two men’s strikes intersected, the power that erupted from the collision of the two men’s blades and swords bursting out together was born to completely tear this side of the void apart.

　　It was at the critical juncture when everything in the void began to collapse, Xu Yang’s Angelic Domain descended once more.

　　Only, this time, he didn’t just descend with the blessing of angelic power for Ling Yao herself, but instead, he also protected Maelstrom Goro, who was on the other side of him, within it as well.

　　”It’s unfortunate that you guys didn’t manage to share a real victory or defeat.

　　However, I believe that in this battle, you and my teammates have both gained a great deal from the journey of the heart.

　　I believe that in the near future, you will all be able to usher in a brand new breakthrough for yourselves due to the extreme experience of this battle.”

　　Xu Yang’s voice descended into the Angelic Realm at the same time, accurately transmitting into the minds of Ling Yao and Maelstrom Goro.

　　”Hehe, the leader of the Glory Battle Team, so fond of playing the role of a savior?”

　　Whirlpool Goro, revealed a clear smile.

　　At the same time, the black blade in his palm completely disappeared, and he knew very well that Xu Yang’s intervention was because he did not want to see the scene where everything was heading towards collapse happen.

　　And he was even more clear that with his own power there was no way to stop Xu Yang by force, so he simply gave up on the subsequent combat maneuvers, withdrew all the power from his body, and allowed this incomparably warm Angelic Domain, the light enveloped his body, repairing every injury.

　　”Such an excellent talent like you, if you just fall on top of a meaningless battlefield like this, it would be a bit of a waste, from today onwards, you, Maelstrom Goro, join under the banner of the Glory Battle Team.

　　Although, our battle team’s quota of seven is full, that doesn’t stop you from playing the role of my number one follower in the middle of the Endless Sea quest.”

　　Maelstrom Goro revealed a cold smile, “What makes you think you can master me?

　　You should know very well that although my strength is far from being able to compete with you, if you want to control me and force me to do anything I’m not willing to do, no one can do it.”

　　Xu Yang laughed out loud, “Of course I know what you think, if you would grovel to me so easily, then you would never be qualified to follow me.

　　It is precisely because you have such pride and a rare spirit of martial arts that I will break the mold and promote you, giving you a chance to change your destiny to reach a higher level.”

　　Maelstrom Goro was silent for a moment, and seemed to be mentally hesitating as well.

　　He was a martial artist and likewise a ronin, traveling alone was a kind of label for him.

　　Over the years, he had long gotten used to the days when he was free to wander the world alone.

　　Now that he was suddenly allowed to find a home for himself, he was really a bit uncomfortable.

　　However, Vortex Goro also understood that after all the battles he had experienced, he indeed needed a relatively calm harbor to create enough conditions for him to realize his state of mind.

　　From this perspective, following Xu Yang’s side was an excellent choice, because this leader was simply too strong.

　　Soon, the golden light in the angelic realm, in the shortest possible time, repaired Maelstrom Goro’s eyes and wounds.

　　The eyes that had regrouped and possessed the angelic aura brought Maelstrom Goro a clearer limit of purpose.

　　The fact that he was now able to clearly sweep his vision across the lens of the sea around him seemed as if it also seemed to open up the path of cultivation to a farther direction for him.

　　Maelstrom Goro looked out into the distance with his brand new pupils that were slightly glowing with a golden color.

　　After a moment, this guy finally sighed softly, ”Also, ……

　　I promise you just that, perhaps after drifting around for so long, it’s time to stop and take a break.

　　However, I didn’t promise you that I would be bound to your side for the rest of my life and look up to you.

　　My promise to you is limited to following you around for this period of time and being able to do something for you.”

　　Xu Yang bitterly laughed and shook his head, seemingly also helpless against this very individualistic unrestrained and proud fellow.

　　However, he really liked this spirit in Whirlpool Goro.

　　Even if he had some independent personality, Xu Yang would choose to tolerate it.

　　He so needed such an untamed guy to follow him around, bringing his boring life, some different and fresh elements and rhythms, in order for Xu Yang to be able to better find the direction to break through the limit of raw power.

　　Soon, Ling Yao and Maelstrom Goro, who had been thoroughly repaired to their peak state by the powerful aura of the Angelic Domain, simultaneously returned above the deck of the Executioner’s flagship and came to Xu Yang’s front.

　　”Many thanks ……,” Whirlpool Goro looked deeply at Xu Yang, although he did not have that same groveling posture as the others, Whirlpool Goro still maintained his own exclusive personality.

　　However, everyone knew very well that to be able to hear the word thank you in the mouth of Whirlpool Goro, what exactly did it mean.

　　As a matter of fact, at this moment, the Whirlpool Goro had already expressed his respect for Xu Yang’s unfathomable domain and realm, as well as his outstanding mind and vision.

　　With a calm face, he walked back to the interior of the flagship’s cabin alone, and Maelstrom Goro began to find himself a place to cultivate, and his gesture like this also meant that he had completely given up the name of Executioner, and began to fulfill his promise.

　　Becoming a relatively special follower under Xu Yang’s command, or a secret weapon amongst Xu Yang’s many sidekicks, and Xu Yang’s first attendant.

　　Ling Yao returned to Xu Yang’s side with a smile on her face, the tacit understanding between the two had long since ceased to need words to express and confide in each other, with just a glance, one would be able to understand everything that the other was thinking in their hearts.

　　”Congratulations to Elder Dah for being blessed with a good general!

　　!”

　　Xu Yang blankly glanced at Ling Yao without any sense of humor, “This girl of yours is really getting crazier and crazier, I guess it won’t be long before you will also turn into the same kind of crazy as Maelstrom Goro.”

　　Spirit Yao, however, smiled and shook her head decisively, “I’m different from him, I’m a person who has the strongest backing, even if I do something out of the ordinary, you’re there and you’ll definitely protect me.

　　Otherwise, do you think I would be so emboldened to fight with that madman together?”

　　Xu Yang of course knew that Ling Yao was stinking herself up, even if there was no existence of herself, when she encountered an opponent like Maelstrom Goro, Ling Yao would definitely go all out, because the two of them were only considered to be in the same category at all.

　　”All members of the Executioner’s Legion listen to the order, from the Three Great Heavenly Kings down to ordinary sailors.

　　Everyone who used to be under my Executioner’s Legion will be under the Glory Warriors from today onwards, named Glory II.

　　Directly under the direct jurisdiction of the seven core members of the Glory Warriors.
