Chapter 433: Disaster in Water Mansion & Enraged Jinhua & Zhou Bao’s Flee Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
A burst of Sword Qi appeared with a loud crash. After shattering that gourd, the Sword Qi did not wait for any second but shot at Master Jinhua straightaway.
Having experienced the initial violent rage, Master Jinhua also detected the uniqueness of this Sword Qi. He dared not take it bluntly. Instead, his figure flashed and turned into a jet of light, and dodged to the side.
Seizing this opportunity, Zhou Bao hurtled over, with the Sword Blade Storm constituted by numerous tiny versions of Sword Qi whirling in front of him.
“Damn it!”
“Holy crap!”
“Now we’re in trouble!”
“Ah, help! What the hell is this…”
“Monster! It’s a monster! Young Master, help! Help us!”
This Water Mansion was in a total chaos, moanings ringing everywhere. When the black mist leaked out from the gourd, it almost instantly shrouded the whole place. This black mist went out of control after it broke away from the gourd. Sensing spirits of many creatures about, it evolved into myriads of black mist snakes, which swooped at all the creatures living in this Water Mansion. Although people from the Water Mansion had a certain strength, not any one of them had reached the Mysterious Realm. Well, how then could they have any chance to fight off those mist snakes that once made Zhou Bao suffer?
In fact, even if one broke into the Mysterious Realm, it would still be impossible for him to take on those snakes without any special means. Therefore, shortly after the release of the black mist, wails and cries sounded from all directions, many of which were crying for Master Jinhua to rescue them. However, Master Jinhua was unable to even take care of himself, and that was attributed to the Sword Blade Storm of Zhou Bao.
With the murderous movement originated from the Silver Moon Sword Technique in coordination with the mystic Dragon Flying Technique, a dreadful killing intent not only swept through Master Jinhua, but also stole over Lan Shui’er. The luxurious Gang Qi surrounding Master Jinhua and the water blue Gang Qi around Lan Shui’er were speedily ablated by the Sword Blade Storm, while both of their eyes were revealing that they found this highly inconceivable.
How could this be possible?
How come such a crazy thing has happened to us? We are Four-tribulation True Immortals! Four-tribulation True Immortal!
This kid standing in front of them was merely a guy at Level Nine. Even if his cultivation was at the peak of Level Nine, how could he possess such a powerful killing ability?
This was not normal!
Getting through their initial startle, the two gradually calmed down. They both felt the suffocating killing intent spilling out from Zhou Bao’s Sword Blade Storm, which was sufficient to annihilate anything in the world.
They did not dare to slight this fight anymore. Since using their Gang Qi did not work, they both resorted to their protective celestial devices. They launched those celestial devices and then dashed backwards. As to other people in the Water Mansion, they paid no attention to them. In fact, they could not even spare an effort to attend to others even if they wanted to. Now, the others could only rely on their luck.
Zhou Bao’s Sword Blade Storm worked. Of course, Zhou Bao would not want to miss this good opportunity. He abruptly leaped in a flash and performed his Three Realms Division over 10 times in a row so as to move to a faraway spot.
The Sword Blade Storm did prove to be effective, but he was not so stupid to believe he could defeat two Four-tribulation True Immortals merely with this half-baked Sword Blade Storm. That was never going to happen.
These two guys were momentarily stunned at his unexpected attack. Plus, the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi was indeed extremely powerful. That was why he had such a great chance to flee. Once the two regained their footings, Zhou Bao himself would be in deep trouble.
After all, the Sword Qi of this incredulously powerful Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was not inexhaustible. When Zhou Bao had launched this Sword Qi for several times, the light of the Natal Sword behind him began to fade, and he still needed to reserve some Sword Qi for self-protection. Thus, he could not exhaust all the Sword Qi at once. You should know that it would be an extremely slow progress to replenish the sword pneuma if all of it was used up. Considering this Sword Qi was one of his greatest killing devices, he had no intention to exhaust it at one time. Thus, he chose to retreat.
“Bastard, bastard!”
Although the Sword Blade Storm was impressive, it could not hold on for long after Zhou Bao’s flee. Adding that there were two Four-tribulation True Immortals jointly fighting against it, the Sword Blade Storm soon disappeared out of sight.
Master Jinhua and Lan Shui’er were both disheveled now. Lan Shui’er looked sick, her eyes glistening as if she was contemplating something. Meanwhile, Master Jinhua’s face was thoroughly livid, and his teeth were tightly clenched. Having no intention to care about his own messy appearance, Master Jinhua gave a slight jolt, and then rushed out to chase after Zhou Bao.
“Young Master, don’t be reckless! That guy knows the special technique of hollow travel. If I saw it correctly, it should be the Three Realms Division. It’s been so long, he probably has already run to a place thousands of miles away. it won’t be easy to find him. And maybe he has some backup there, so we’d better think this through before taking actions!” Lan Shui’er grabbed Master Jinhua and pulled this enraged guy back.
At this time, Master Jinhua seemed to have recovered a bit of his composure. He shot a glance at Lan Shui’er, and then turned around and stalked towards his Water Mansion, where no cries were ringing anymore. Instead, dead silence filled the air.
The mist that just transformed into numerous black snakes also disbanded, drifting away in every direction. Since it only started dispersing a moment ago, it did not go very far.
Master Jinhua opened his mouth widely and inhaled deeply, sucking up all the lethal mist into his body. After taking in all the mist, his face went a little black, a trace of sparkling black light flitted across his eyes. Then, he went back to normal. Settling the mist problem, the Water Mansion reappeared in front of the two.
Nearly every living creatures were gone. The flesh of countless brutes, handymen, footboys, and maidservants were all sucked up, leaving only thin layers of skin. Moreover, many of them were forced to resume to their original forms. Therefore, now the ground was covered with dead fishes, shrimps, shells, crabs, turtles and so on, making the face of Master Jinhua twitch.
“No matter who he is, what background he has, I will kill him! Definitely!” Master Jinhua’s countenance was already extremely forbidding. Scanning the chaotic Water Mansion, Master Jinhua started roaring madly.
“Don’t worry, we have plenty of opportunities to do so. Now his companions are all in your hand, he can’t just leave and give up on so many of his companions!” Lan Shui’er said faintly, stifling down the impulse to stimulate Master Jinhua. Based on his current state, it would not be funny if he really burst with fury.
“Right, you’re right. I got his companions. These guys are all subordinates of those powerful sects in the Four Eastern Regions. Thus, no way could he leave them here and go back alone. Otherwise, he will have to face the rage of all the strongest sects in the Four Eastern Regions. Humph, he is bound to figure out something to rescue his companions. So we don’t need to do anything other than setting up a trap here and wait!” Master Jinhua said balefully, his face sullen. He swung back his sleeves and stepped into the Water Mansion.
“Now is not a good time to go back. Perhaps I will get into trouble!” After shifting to a place thousands of miles away by means of his Three Realms Division, Zhou Bao was sitting on a reef among the sea, flustered by his worries. He had found this remote place to recover after leaping miles afar with his Three Realms Division. As he also had the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill to hide his breaths, he did not worry about being discovered by others. After resting for a whole mouth, he finally gained a full recovery.
Having recovered, Zhou Bao was all focused on finding Yu Nantian and the other guys. Remember, Yu Nantian and others were captured after Zhou Bao was sucked in that gourd, so Zhou Bao had no idea of the whereabouts of his companions.
However, the Sea Area was so vast, and there were so many demons living in it, so it was hard to prevent news from leaking out. Once Zhou Bao went out of his hiding place, he learned the news about Yu Nantian and others from some passing-by demons, that they were all at the hands of Master Jinhua.
Also, from this information, Zhou Bao learned the name of Master Jinhua for the first time.
Just as Master Jinhua predicted, judging by the current situation, he did not dare to go back to the Four Eastern Regions. If he was still living on his own, he would not have minded it so much. However, now he had an enterprise to manage, old parents to take care of, and a new-born on the way. If one day those sects really went mad against him, he would not be able to fend it off and protect his family. Putting aside other things first, simply thinking about the huge palm descending from the sky in the Dragon Oppressing Region was enough for him to go dispirited for a while. Being a pragmatist, he would never dare to place all his stakes on the Immortal Palace.
“F*cking son of a bitch, does that mean I have to rescue that bunch of useless guys? My enemies include two well-prepared Four-tribulation True Immortals! No, not only two, who knows how many there are? They said the Rolling Dragon King or whatsoever had executed a sea-closing order, didn’t they? Now, Yu Nantian and others got caught. Naturally, they will be offered to that whatever Rolling Dragon King.”
Following this thread of thinking, Zhou Bao felt that things were increasingly tricky. If this was the real case, he would have to face the strongest influence of the entire Sea Area, which would be much stronger than sects on land. Zhou Bao had no urge to face such an influence all by himself.
“No, this is not right. That slick guy Yu Nantian has a fairy weapon with him, he won’t surrender so easily. If I were him, I would have used the fairy weapon to run away in the first place. Could it be that Master Jinhua also has a fairy weapon?” Zhou Bao still could not think this through. “If I were Yu Nantian, what would I do?” Zhou Bao gently squinted, trying to reduce his intelligence to Yu Nantian’s level and analyze the whole thing from his point of view. By doing this, he really did come up with one possible scenario.
“Does that idiot want to negotiate with that Rolling Dragon King? Does he really regard the Divine Wind Palace as the Celestial Court, which reigned all the heavens and realms years ago? Is he expecting everybody to be terrified once he announces his name and title?”
Zhou Bao was pondering over these possibilities. He truly felt that stupid Yu Nantian would do so in reality. Heaving a soft sigh, Zhou Bao held his breath and dived into the water.
From the conversations of many passing demons he had overheard previously, Zhou Bao learned that this Sea Area was not under the control of Master Jinhua, but belonged to the scope of influence of another subordinate of Rolling Dragon King named Master Bai Luo, who was also a Four-tribulation True Immortal. Under the leadership of Rolling Dragon King, the status of Master Bai Luo seemed equal with that of Master Jinhua. However, these two did not get along well because they were always competing against each other. In this Sea Area, most demons traveling to and fro were subordinates of Master Bai Luo. Based on snatches of their conversations, when those demons referred to Master Jinhua, they all revealed a certain degree of despise, which was also mixed with a bit of jealousy.
Given that Zhou Bao mainly practiced with the Fire Way Method, he was not very adaptive to the life under water. However, at this time, he could only inquire about the news in the sea.
Swimming like a fish, he soon dived to the bottom of the sea. Then, he found a secluded place to rest and launched his Snake-like Breath Holding Skill. Now, he was hiding in the sea, disguised as a regular rock on the seabed.
Shortly after that, several demons approached in lines from afar, chattering.
