Chapter 1083: Nether Soldiers
“This is chaos lotus energy, don’t touch it.” The blood-dragon was shaking in fear while holding onto the basket. Its teeth chattered unceasingly.
Feng Feiyun had a golden glow around him as he gazed into the expanse: “What was that broken gate?”
“The first gate of h.e.l.l.” The dragon responded: “Heaven has nine layers, and so does h.e.l.l. This is not the place for us, we need to leave now before nether soldiers come out.”
Feiyun had heard legends about h.e.l.l before. There was no leaving this prison.
However, this seemed different from the h.e.l.l that his soul was in previously. The sensation differed greatly.
“Why does she want to go there?” He wasn’t in a rush.
“f.u.c.ker, are you listening?! We need to leave right now!” The dragon cursed.
Feiyun stared at the rippling waves with no intention of leaving.
“Okay! She is insane, logic doesn’t apply to her. We’re smart guys, right? We shouldn’t mingle with her. Please, can we leave already, Big Bro? She’s not gonna be able to come back…. f.u.c.ker! Are you leaving or not?! Open the seal then, let me leave!” The dragon’s att.i.tude changed several times.
It exuded a powerful demonic energy and a deafening roar, causing Feiyun to feel pain in his ears.
It was powerful and despite the containment, it still nearly pushed Feiyun’s hand off the basket.
He clenched his fingers tighter and started floating toward the radiance. The vessel flew out of his body.
It was initially the size of a grain before growing into a mountain range. The eighteen pillars and sails were as tattered as can be - a sign of its incalculable age.
Feiyun landed on the deck and controlled it to fly toward the first gate of h.e.l.l.
“s.h.i.+t… we can’t go back to the gate, Boss, please, let’s just go back… we’ll still be friends if you listen to me…” The dragon shouted.
Feiyun attached it to his waist and then flicked it: “Keep on screaming and I’ll throw you in there.”
“I am a monarch of the blood dragons, a mighty murderer feared by all, how dare you speak to me like this?! I will eat you and your descendants for three generations after I get out!”
Feiyun glanced down and said: “I heard turtles like to eat fish, I wonder if it’s true.”
“Haha, are you afraid now, brat? Release me and everything will be… why is there a turtle here…” The dragon suddenly noticed a turtle peeking down from above.
“Wow, what a large fis.h.!.+” The turtle stared at the fish-form dragon and licked its lips.”
“Screw you! Let’s see you lick your lips again!” The dragon wasn’t afraid at all. How could a demon monarch ever be scared of a turtle?
It opened its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth and caused the turtle to pull back. Alas, the basket was closed so it was stuck while kicking its feet.
“Whoos.h.!.+” The sacred fruit came out and smacked the dragon’s head, knocking its unconscious.
The turtle finally got out and said: “Fish? That was clearly a dragon.”
“Shh.” Feiyun shushed it.
Yin gales were everywhere with screams emanating from them. There was an army inside of the black clouds - armored ghosts and skeletons riding bone dragons…
The gate of h.e.l.l has opened and allowed these creatures to come out, destroying everything in their path.
“These are souls and ghosts from h.e.l.l, cultivators can’t handle their yin affinity. Something big is happening, that woman is truly a troublemaker. Don’t tell me… the gate is broken?” The turtle wore the bamboo basket on its neck and grabbed the “fish” by its tail.
The unconscious dragon eventually woke up.
“Who is that woman and what is her goal?”
The dragon rubbed its head and eventually saw the nether soldiers from h.e.l.l. It coiled in fear and said: “We’re f.u.c.ked, why did I, the great monarch, have to meet fools like you…”
“Shut it up again.” Feiyun said.
The fruit flew back into the basket and beat the dragon into submission until it was unconscious again.
“Raa!” The nether soldiers surrounded the s.h.i.+p and blotted out the sun.
The dragon-horse diagram from the s.h.i.+p released a blinding light, reducing any soldier who got close enough to smoke.
“Boom!” Feiyun used the cauldron and released an inferno, burning the soldiers and causing them to shriek.
The trinity flame was the nemesis of nether ent.i.ties so it had no problem dealing with them.
Suddenly, a huge ghost hand descended. The surface was covered in scale.
“Boom!” It sent the cauldron flying with monstrous strength. Sparks scattered everywhere.
A great ghost appeared, as tall as can be. Its body was ethereal. It had two horns and roared toward the vessel, pus.h.i.+ng it back.
This was a projection of an expert from the gate of h.e.l.l.
Feiyun became serious after seeing it.
“The will of a true master, you’re dead, brat.” The dragon woke up again.
The projection was furious to see a half-demon flying at it. Its aura intensified due to its rage.
He took out a ghost bottle and opened it. Somehow, it managed to suck in the projection and then flew back into his hand.
He decided to suck in all the nether soldiers instead of destroying them as well.
The dragon couldn’t believe it. It stared at the bottle and said: “Hey, I recognize this bottle, I think I lost it five hundred years ago. Little Brother, it is our heirloom given to me by my mother, she made me promise to give it to my future wife but… sigh, I actually went and lost it, I can’t believe that you’ve found it for me. Otherwise, I don’t know how to answer my mother…”
It started crying but the fruit knocked it out again.
In the next several days, Feiyun faced waves of attack from the nether soldiers, one stronger than the previous.
A few souls were strong enough to resist the bottle. Fortunately, the vessel was fast enough for him to get away.
Of course, this wasn’t because the bottle was weak. Feiyun’s cultivation was the weak point.
On the seventh day, he finally found a floating boat looking like a leaf on an ocean.
Other soldiers have surrounded it, wanting to devour the only pa.s.senger - the woman.
Feiyun killed them and landed on the boat before letting out a sigh.
She was laying in a pool of blood, looking pale with feeble breathing. Her blood-soaked dress stuck to her skin. Nether energy had invaded her body.
He helped her up and let her rest on his chest before taking out a silkworm pill and feeding it to her.
Buddhist hymns sounded and her wounds closed at a visible pace.
After a while, her eyebrows trembled a bit before she opened her eyes. She saw Feiyun and was completely surprised.
She then closed them and spoke with a weak tone: “Y-you actually came back…”
“I told you that I would take care of your corpse.” Feiyun smiled.
