Free Web NovelChapter 557: Chapter 282: Twenty Years
The recent clash between Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng and Zheng Yi, although it happened in the blink of an eye, was incredibly fast and almost unbelievable. Yet, due to his level of Dao practice and magical power, everything was naturally apparent to this cunning old dog.
However, the final result was unexpected.
It made Gongye Ning feel an unprecedented enormous crisis.
He even experienced a brief blackout, felt a deep despair, and almost considered abandoning his treasures and fleeing.
Gongye Ning never imagined that the great pirate leader of the Vast Seas, the dignified Core Formation Cultivator Double-headed Flood Dragon "Zhong Sheng," could not withstand even a single finger of his opponent.
"Not good!"
Just as a bad feeling crossed his mind, a huge rumbling came from within the vortex of ocean waves, causing the magical treasure resembling a flower basket suspended before him to tremble violently, as if about to fall apart.
It was as though some terrifying giant beast was about to charge out from within.
Boom!
Just as Gongye Ning was about to disperse his magical power and retrieve his treasure, a deafening explosion echoed across the sky and earth.
A terrifying force directly burst through the closed petals, shattering the once massive petals along with the ruins and vortices beneath the sea.
Gongye Ning’s old face twitched, showing a painful expression. The flower basket suspended before him let out a mournful cry and became dim and lifeless, with strands of chaotic airflow appearing on its surface, indicating that the magical treasure had suffered severe damage and destruction to its essence.
Poof!
With their life force interconnected,
Gongye Ning spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale. Watching Zheng Yi walk calmly out from the surging waves, his eyelids trembled violently and a trace of fear emerged from the bottom of his eyes.
"Not good, I’ve hit an iron wall!"
As the Supreme Elder of the Sunset Commerce Association, Gongye Ning had been cautious all his life, never fighting a battle without assurance, and was known as the most cunning of the cunning. He never expected to be blinded by an Exotic Treasure this late in life and to provoke such a terrifying entity.
In the end, the hunter became the hunted.
Gongye Ning further noticed that this person hadn’t used any magical power; instead, solely relying on the strength of his pure blood Qi and flesh, he had already toyed with two Void Core Cultivators as if they were in the palm of his hand.
This indicated that they had completely misjudged before.
This was no young junior in front of them.
Manifestly, it was a hidden giant at the sea’s bottom.
However, the person before him appeared unfamiliar, with such strength, not even at the Core Formation stage, he could not possibly be a nobody. He was either a descendant of a Dao lineage hidden deep in the vast seas, a true cultivator from overseas, or not a native of the Sea Realm.
Did he come from the Southern Realm or the Central Realm?
Only these two places have some ancient Dao lineages capable of nurturing such terrifying individuals.
Originally, he saw celestial phenomena and flashing lightning, which brought him here, thinking he encountered some Heaven and Earth wonders. Little did he expect to be blinded by greed and rush headlong into a massive pitfall.
"Your Excellency’s profound strength is admirable; I, Zhong, am impressed. Let’s end today’s sparring here, until we meet again!"
A streak of black light shot up straight out of the ocean, and Double-headed Flood Dragon "Zhong Sheng" without uttering a word of nonsense, became wholly enveloped in black light, instantly rushing out a thousand meters, fleeing in the distance.
As a Core Formation Stage Cultivator, and a dignified leader of the Great Pirate Gang, Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng naturally had his pride, but facing the harsh reality, he very sensibly chose to follow his heart.
Aware that he had now kicked a steel plate, causing him to suffer a severe blow, even putting his life at risk, how could he dare linger even a moment longer, only regretting not learning an additional escape technique earlier.
Not caring about elegance, he made a life-saving escape.
He didn’t care how fast he ran, as long as he could outrun that old fellow Gongye Ning.
As for the one left behind, let them bear the brunt of it, and attract Zheng Yi’s wrath.
In an instant, roaring gales erupted, the magic power aftermath fully exploded, and the angry roar of Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng still echoed in the turbulent winds, in an instant, he had already fled tens of thousands of meters away.
"Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng, I curse your ancestors to the Immortal’s altar!"
"Is there any semblance of a Core Formation Cultivator, any grandeur of a strong one left?"
Compared to Double-headed Flood Dragon "Zhong Sheng," seeing the other run so far, Gongye Ning nearly burst with rage.
A step too slow.
Just one step too slow.
Unexpectedly, this damned knife thief got the jump.
Clearly, in the face of Zheng Yi’s dominance, the originally fragile alliance between the two Core Formation Cultivators instantly collapsed.
Seeing Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng fleeing, Gongye Ning didn’t dare linger at all, and turned to flee in another direction on the vast sea surface.
Both were competing in speed to escape.
Only regretting their parents didn’t give them more legs.
"Fellow Daoists, please halt!"
At this instant, Zheng Yi’s loud voice resonated behind them, as if piercing through the Four Seas and Eight Desolates, present everywhere in the north and south heavens.
Behind him, like a bright moon from the palace of Guanghan slowly rising, amidst the seven-colored lights flickering, the Earth Element Five-Colored Peak hanging from the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree behind Zheng Yi suddenly trembled slightly, and then, with the Profound Yellow Qi as the mainstay, formed a massive five-colored brilliance sweeping up into the sky.
Zheng Yi reached out and grabbed, the formless Power of the Earth coalescing as the central pillar, five fingers forming rays of five-colored light.
Five Elements and Five Colors Innate Qi Grand Capture Hand.
Grasping the void, that gigantic palm shadow appeared to encompass the Four Seas and Eight Desolates, and at this moment, the fleeing Zhong Sheng and Gongye Ning felt a massive shadow emerging behind them.
It was a colossal five-colored hand, towering as if covering the entire expanse of the sky.
