Chapter 759: Meeting Ruo Lin Again
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Zhou Bao often heard that in the antiquity times, the pract.i.tioners were the clouds and the Immortals, the rain. For the longest time, he did not believe it, and could not imagine what the world would be like with so many pract.i.tioners.
But now, he witnessed it with his own eyes. News from the Eastern Thunder Sect traveled fast. These pract.i.tioners had their own ways of communication as well. Hence, the news that the sect was going to re-open all the Transmitting Formations were pa.s.sed to every corner of Eastern Thunder World in just three days. Furthermore, the 10 days’ deadline made it compulsory for all pract.i.tioners to put down everything that they were doing and make their way towards the sect.
At this point in time, although the Devil Tribe had the absolute upper-hand in the Eastern Thunder World, it was only because the pract.i.tioners were scattered all over. Now that they heard the news and gathered together, comparatively, the Devil Tribe was now the one that was scattered. For the pract.i.tioners, no matter if they had revenge or grudges on their minds, no matter if they knew each other, they were all reunited in this instance and made their way towards the Devil Tribe and launched all kinds of crazy attacks against them. These kind of attacks were not something the Devil Tribe could counter so easily. Hence, very quickly, from all five corners of Eastern Thunder World, groups of pract.i.tioners were formed. They were like surging waves heading towards the Eastern Thunder Sects. Zhou Bao was among them.
“Eh? It’s you, Taoist Cundi! Cundi, look, this was the guy that beat you up! If it wasn’t for me, you would still be his captive.
Zhou Bao did not expect to b.u.mp into any acquaintances as he was trying to blend into the crowd of people. Besides, this acquaintance was not exactly the most friendly one he had expected to meet.
“Oh, it’s Miss Ruo Lin, you guys are here too?”
“Of course we are. All pract.i.tioners are now heading towards the Eastern Thunder Sect, of course we had to follow!”
Before she finished speaking, the pract.i.tioner beside her roared, “You despicable person, I will kill you!”
As he spoke, he aimed a glistening saber towards Zhou Bao’s forehead.
“Clang!”
The light saber hit Zhou Bao’s mid-brow directly. However, it did not do much damage. A spark was emitted as if it had hit a metal surface.
“Cundi, hehe, this time around I did not dodge. That is my apology for what happened the last time. But if you dare to do that to me again, I will throw you out!” Zhou Bao looked at the horrified Cundi and smiled calmly. “Also, the name Cundi is not bad. I’ve taken it. In the future, you should change your name, how about that?”
“You, you, you, you, you…!”
At this moment, Cundi was speechless. He dared not attack Zhou Bao anymore. He had earlier attacked with total hatred in his heart. He had used a Supreme-cla.s.s Pure Yang Celestial Device, one meant for attacks. It did not hurt Zhou Bao a single bit. This showed the vast difference between the duo’s combat capabilities. The gap was enough to make Cundi look up to Zhou Bao. Under such a circ.u.mstance, Cundi would not be dumb enough to attack Zhou Bao again.
However, Zhou Bao’s arrogant manner made him frustrated and he found it hard to accept it. Not only for him, but even the little girl Ruo Lin was also enraged by his arrogant ways. “You, you, you, you, you…how can you do this? You, you…how can you steal someone else’s name?”
“So what if I did?” Zhou Bao rolled his eyes, “Let me tell you, I am Taoist Cundi. Ask this fella to change his name, any name will do, as long as it’s not Cundi. If not, I’ll beat him up every time I see him!”
“This brother’s hobby is quite interesting. He likes to use other people’s names!”
“And who are you?” Zhou Bao raised his eyebrows as he recognized the guy as the same person who had knocked down the wall with them the other day. He was also the one who had been skeptical about Zhou Bao’s appearance; a guy who could not see things clearly.
“I am Wu Hao, I’m not sure if Your Excellency would like to use this name!”
“Piak!” Before he had finished speaking, Zhou Bao punched Wu Hao and sent him flying. He flew out of the crowd, dissolved into a black spot, and ended up in an unknown area.
“What an idiot! Never interrupt when you shouldn’t!”
“Are you crazy? Wu Hao is the Young Master of Spirit Tortoise school! He hasn’t returned to his school yet. Now that you’ve injured him, you’re declaring war with the entire Spirit Tortoise school!” Ruo Lin shrieked. The Spirit Tortoise sect was a mediocre school in Eastern Thunder World. The school was much more powerful than the small one that Cundi was in. It was also more aggressive. Seeing Zhou Bao offend Wu Hao to such an extreme, Ruo Lin could not help but shriek loudly.
“Spirit Tortoise school…haha…Eastern Thunder World may not even exist anymore, who cares about Spirit Tortoise school. Tortoises might not even exist anymore by then!” Zhou Bao laughed sinisterly. “Little girl, which school do you belong to? Why are you with this bunch of guys? I don’t find them pleasing to the eye!”
“Who’s not pleasing to the eye? You’re the one that’s not!” The little girl pouted and glared fiercely at Zhou Bao, “They’re all my friends. But you, what are you doing here?”
“Hey, you’re the one who came over. It was that guy who was trying to find trouble. What do you mean by what am I doing here?”
“You―!”
Zhou Bao’s words left her speechless. She was indeed the one who had spotted Zhou Bao in the crowd. She wanted to help Cundi seek his revenge, but she totally underestimated Zhou Bao’s ability, which led to the current outcome.
“Hmph, I’m not talking to you anymore. You big bully, let me see how long you can stay so arrogant!” The little girl knew that she could not defeat Zhou Bao, physically or verbally and this made her very frustrated. She glanced angrily at Zhou Bao and together with the crowd behind her, prepared to leave. At this moment, the crowd suddenly turned chaotic.
“The Devil Tribe!”
“What’s happening?”
“The Devil Tribe is attacking us, do they want to die?”
The Devil Tribe may be powerful, but with so many pract.i.tioners gathered together, the Devil Tribe had lost their advantage in numbers. It was really beyond anyone’s understanding as to why they would attack the pract.i.tioners at this point in time.
“Hahahaha, b.l.o.o.d.y human pract.i.tioners. You will all die! With me, His Excellency Barka here, you will all die here today! Hahahaha, it has been a long time since I had such a feast!”
Piercing laughter invaded the surroundings. It was mixed with a powerful energy that made one’s spirit quake.
In the crowd, those pract.i.tioners of slightly lower cultivation were affected by the laughter. They stepped away from the crowd and fell to the ground. This happened in large batches, just like a melting iceberg.
Almost at the same time, a large army of Fierce Owls came flying in from all corners. They rushed towards those that were affected by the noise and had their spirits injured. They bit and chewed on them. In just a short time, flesh, blood, and spirit were sent flying all over the place. It was really a feast for the Devil Tribe.
“The spirit attack, the most direct spirit attack!” The Devil Tribe member had fired the most direct spirit attack. His cultivation was extremely strong since he was a Devil King. Hence, his spirit attack easily affected the pract.i.tioners below the Immortal realm who were within a thousand-mile radius. There was also a large group of pract.i.tioners who fell. They were the ones below the Venerable Realm. Among the crowd, those who managed to stabilize their spirits did not fall directly, but in the process, their spirits were injured. This caused their combat abilities to decrease significantly.
“Sigh, this is so troublesome! Eastern Thunder World is already like this, aren’t you guys satisfied yet?” Looking at the situation, Zhou Bao’s expression changed slightly. He began to talk in a soft voice and it rang across like a big bell in everyone’s hearts and minds, pulling their spirits back and keeping them focused. “The brains of the Devil Tribe must be faulty, can you guys even retain everyone here with that kind of ability?”
“Hahahaha, interesting, this is so interesting! I did not expect a master of martial arts to be here! I thought all of them are at the Eastern Thunder Sect or whatever it is called! This is nice. Your king here has not yet eaten today, so I have chosen you!” As he spoke, a black shadow broke through the crowd and pulled Zhou Bao over.
“Eat me, do you have the ability?”
His fist met the black shadow and the corners of Zhou Bao’s mouth curled up.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
The duo moved somewhere else to fight it out.
“Boom!!!”
The energy from their fists exchanges tore the crowd apart. The duo flashed their bodies and moved away from the crowd.
“Good, good, good. You are the first human expert I have met, it’s really not that easy!”
“But you’re not the strongest Devil I’ve ever encountered!” Zhou Bao laughed coldly and his Mysterious Icy Divine Light started to flow at an extraordinary speed. His Heavenly Jade Technique and Snake-like Breath Holding Skill were launched together instantly. With a punch, he sent the Devil moving backwards continuously. A layer of frost formed all over his injured body.
“You’re not suitable to be a punching bag. The guy in the Boundless Sand Sea could take nine of my punches. You can’t even take six, how could you call yourself a Devil King? You really don’t know how to live!”
After leaving the crowd, Zhou Bao released his hands and feet. It was a pity that this Barka could only say a sentence before he lost all his confidence after being beaten up by Zhou Bao. He could not even utter any words afterwards.
And that was without doubt. He had seemingly lost all his consciousness from the extremely strong punch and a chill that traveled down his spine. He was left with only a tiny will to live. Using the last of his strength left, he launched the Devil Qi in his body.
“Grug!”
After three consecutive punches from Zhou Bao, the Devil King was completely shattered. At the same time, Zhou Bao used an incomparably vast spirit to suppress the Devil King’s Qi Power completely. “You cannot make it at all. It was only four punches and you’ve ended up like this. I don’t even need a sixth one. A fifth is enough!”
The fifth punch came, accompanied by Zhou Bao’s cold laughter. It hit Barka’s chest directly and broke through his body.
Boom!
Barka’s body could no longer support himself under such a strong punch. It evolved into a bank of blood fog and disappeared from the earth forever.
