Chapter 80: This world is unscientific (11)
After Ship King Zhu heard that his son was located south of the East China Sea, he anxiously wanted to start up his own luxury cruise ship to go pick up his son. But in the end, the ship that sailed out wasn’t the Roar of the Sea Dragon cruise ship that Ship King Zhu had mentioned. Instead, they rode on another ship that looked ordinary but could submerge into the sea at any time, turning into a submarine.
While Ren Zhu was standing on the deck of this Legendary Dragon ship, Ship King Zhu started to show off his dual-purpose ship. However, Master Yi shut him up in one sentence — what’s your son’s birthday?
Ship King Zhu started to talk about some basic information, in which he mentioned that his son was born on the 15th of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. “Other people say that my son’s birthday is very ominous, but I think that it’s a pretty good birthday. Although he would always encounter some strange situations, he would be able to turn them into a blessing every single time! I think that this has a lot to do with the name I gave him. Hong Yun, great luck, let fortune strike!”
Even Ren Zhu knew that the lunar calendar’s 15th day of the seventh month was called the famous Ghost Day. Recalling Pang Fei’s birthday and then thinking of Zhu Hong Yun’s birthday again, Ren Zhu frowned: “What the hell are they trying to do? Finding so many people born during Yin?”
Yi Xiao immediately answered: “It should be that they’re trying to refine their body into that of a ghost king.”
“A ghost king?”
“En. With hundreds of men born during Yin of the lunar calendar, their bodies would be filled with strong resentment after being tortured to death. One can refine themselves by absorbing their blood. Then, after also refining their souls and swallowing them, they would be able to temper their body into a ghost king with the force of ten thousand ghosts.” Meng Xi Chun very conscientiously explained this to Ren Zhu. In his opinion, Boss Yi wouldn’t want to say so many words. However, Boss Yi’s expression was very ugly.
“Is the ghost king very powerful?”
“If they haven’t finished tempering themselves, then it’s not worth mentioning.” Yi Xiao replied.
.
“Then if they have?” Ren Zhu raised an eyebrow: “You’re not their opponent?”
Master Yi suddenly realised that this was a serious matter concerning his dignity and status. He turned his head and gravely said to Ren Zhu: “How many times do I have to tell you? Remember this, I will always be the most powerful.” Isn’t it just a ghost king? Laozi will directly cut him to death.
Standing to the side, Meng Xi Chun’s mouth twitched when he heard this. He didn’t even care about the ghost king anymore. Sure enough, the ancestors’ words were right. No matter how elite a person was, they would become a fool after being blinded by love.
However, according to Yi Xiao’s extraordinary constitution, if even he couldn’t handle that thing, then in all of Xuan Dao, the chances that other people could was very slim.
It was only because Yi Xiao had a clear purpose this time that he came here. He didn’t need Ship King Zhu to urge him and made the Legendary Dragon travel very fast. Whichever direction the ship needed to turn, he would tell the captain in advance. After travelling on the sea for 3 days, Ship King Zhu and the others saw a dark red area amidst the expanse of the deep blue sea. But that wasn’t the strangest thing that the ordinary people saw. The most bewildering and even magical thing was that above the red sea area, there was a dense mass of black clouds compressed within a large circle, and only in this circle were there surging waves, lightning flashes and thunder claps.
Ship King Zhu’s Legendary Dragon stopped at the edge of this area. The inside and outside areas were like two entirely different worlds.
“My God! I have never seen such a sight before!”
“Look! What’s that in the sky? Is that a person?! Are my eyes seeing things? Someone can actually fly in the air without wings or any other thing?!”
“If you have the time to look up at the sky, you might as well look at the wooden ship in front! Isn’t that our young master?! There’s also another person beside him!”
After Ship King Zhu heard what these three had said, he immediately rushed over and grabbed the high-powered binoculars. With a glance, he saw two tired, weak and hungry children standing at the head of the ship. “Fuck! They actually dared to torment Laozi’s son like this?! Just you wait!”
As a father, Ship King Zhu naturally recognised his son standing at the front of the ship with a single glance. At this moment, he wished that he could grow wings and fly over to rescue the two children, but unfortunately, he couldn’t even enter this boundary layer.
At this moment, the sea outside the boundary also started to swell with strong winds and waves, as if to topple over and devour this small ship that was overestimating its own capabilities. The people standing on the deck were all drenched with seawater. Ship King Zhu quickly commanded the Legendary Dragon to submerge into the sea to avoid the wind and waves. However, they were still unable to avoid the terrifying vortexes within the sea as well as the barrier-like boundary beside them.
“Master Yi! Please think of something! If this goes on, our ship will be destroyed!” Ship King Zhu anxiously said as he wiped the water on his face.
At this moment, Master Yi finally walked away from his partner. When he left, he also didn’t forget to say: “Watch carefully.”
Then, he flew up.
Yes. He, flew, up. Also the kind of flying without wings.
“Oh my God!” Ship King Zhu’s shocked expression looked just like he had seen God, and the others were not much better. Through the large screen of the Legendary Dragon, everyone could see the situation outside. They saw Yi Xiao break through the surface of the ocean like a sharp blade and soar into the sky. He then pulled out the slender dragon bone sword that was emitting golden light from his waist and slashed down at the barrier with an immense force. The next second, waves collided with waves, causing the entire surface to quake. The Legendary Dragon under the sea also shook for a while before stopping.
However, after this tremendous strike, the boundary around that red sea was broken.
“Who is it?! Who dares to spoil my plan?!”
Ship King Zhu’s face turned pale: “W-W-W-Whose voice is this ah?! How come it sound’s a lot like a giant’s roar?!”
Having been grabbed by him, Teacher Ren helplessly said: “This isn’t a giant’s roar. It should be the person who was controlling that boundary.”
Meng Xu Chun carefully listened to this voice and couldn’t help but cry out: “How could it be him?! Isn’t he dead?!”
Ren Zhu quickly looked over at him, so Meng Xi Chun started to explain: “I can’t have heard wrong. This should be Li Ying Tian. He is a genius from a branch family of the Yi family. Previously, he was an even more famous Xuan Dao talent than Boss Yi. But unfortunately, he ended up walking down the wrong path and hunted by everyone in Xuan Dao.”
“What kind of wrong path did he walk on to cause all of Xuan Dao to hunt and kill him?” Ren Zhu couldn’t help but ask: “Could it be that you guys are too harsh?”
Before Meng Xi Chun could say anything, Luo Yang came over to join in the fun and scoffed: “Do you think that we are all inhumane like what’s written in novels? What decade are we living in? Even if we are people of Xuan Dao, we also can’t go against people’s wishes of doing other things, right? Xuan Dao’s management is now very relaxed. So long as it isn’t something that endangers the lives of others, no one would care even if what you do harms yourself. Otherwise, Boss Yi would have probably died even earlier than this Yi Ling Tian.”
Ren Zhu frowned.
Meng Xu Chun simply sighed and said: “Yi Ling Tian was researching the technique for immortality.”
“Oh, does he want to use other people’s lives to fill up his lifespan?” Ren Zhu casually asked. But seeing the shocked expressions on Meng Xi Chun’s and Luo Yang’s face, this indicated that what he had said was exactly the truth. For a moment, Ren Zhu didn’t quite know what to say. “Oh, then that really is walking down a demonic path.”
“Right. At that time, we were going to lock him in Xuan Dao mountain so that he would never be able to come out, but he ultimately escaped to the East China Sea and fell from his serious injuries. We couldn’t find him afterwards.” Luo Yang clicked his tongue: “Clearly, we didn’t end up killing him back then, which is why we now have 20 more victims.”
At this moment, the large screen on the Legendary Dragon was already displaying the confrontation between ice and fire above the sea.
“Yi Xiao! I didn’t expect that the first people to run over and cause trouble would actually be you! I really don’t understand. We clearly have the same ambitions. It’s just that your method sounds more pleasant than mine, but they actually didn’t bother with you?! We have both used forbidden techniques before, we are both seeking immortality. Why are they only targeting me?!”
Yi Xiao looked at the ghostly person in front of him whose eyes and nose already seem indistinguishable. He raised his sword and advanced: “Your forbidden technique requires you to continuously kill people, whereas my forbidden technique only depletes my cultivation and the power of my soul. Who’s right and who’s wrong, isn’t it obvious?”
Clang—! With the clash of swords, Yi Ling Tian’s body became unsteady for a moment. Before he could stabilise himself, a long golden sword struck down like a gust of wind, causing his expression to change as he dodged left and right in a flurry.
At this moment, not far above this sea area, there were 20 or so people sitting on a gigantic gourd, nodding as they watched the fight below: “Lao Yi ah, your big nephew is really amazing. He’s still so young and yet he can already handle the violent energy of the dragon bone sword. After another 10 years, us old men probably won’t be his opponent.”
“What 10 years? Just look at how fierce this youngster is! I’m afraid that we won’t be his opponent after 3 years!”
“Lao Yi ah, you need to treat us to dinner. Even if he’s not your son, he’s still your nephew.”
Hearing this, Uncle Yi also lamented. While Yi Xiao was beating Yi Ling Tian into the sea again with an extremely cold expression, his uncle thought: His fierce big nephew has finally found a partner to take care of him so that he doesn’t go crazy!
“However, when are we taking action? If we still don’t do anything, then Yi Ling Tian is really going to die. Yi! Quick! Do something! Lao Yi, has your big nephew gone crazy?! He’s actually going to use dragon blood beads?! Does he want to destroy this entire area?!”
A few of the old fellows quickly started to take action and finally snatched the dying Yi Ling Tian from the eldest son of the third generation’s hands. Yi Ling Tian let out a sinister laugh: “You, even if you kill me, what of it? Coming to find me…… it must be because of the five… the five-coloured glass beads. But what happens after you obtain those beads? It’s just for that… that one person. I, although I’m about to die, but…… the people on that ship will also…… don’t—”
Yi Xiao’s aura suddenly became extremely violent! And in the Legendary Dragon below, there was also a huge riot.
“Son! Hong Yun ah! You, what is wrong with you two?! Why are you holding such a dangerous thing in your hand? Hurry up and put it down! So long as you put it down, dad will buy you sweets to eat!”
“Hurry, hurry, hurry! One is holding a knife to their neck and the other is actually holding a time bomb in his hand! We must hurry up and pacify them! Get to the surface!”
“Ah! They’re starting!!”
“Son—!”
“Shut up! Sit down! Start dictation!”
Within the clamour of voices, there was a voice that stood out like the first rays of light breaking through the darkness, lighting the way forward.
Then, the panicked people suddenly discovered that the two senior high school students who were just about to stab their own neck and activate the time bomb suddenly shuddered and immediately threw away the things in their hands. They changed their hand posture to look like they were holding a pen and then sat on the floor, prepared to listen and write down words.
Ship King Zhu: “What is going on now?!”
The panicked staff: Fuck! Why did they suddenly sit down? This posture reminds them of some unpleasant memories!
Meng Xi Chun and Luo Yang: Ah, it appeared again! This strange ability!
Teacher Ren: “There’s nothing to dictate. Just write the Orchid Pavilion Gathering from memory.” He then turned and said: “Hurry up and deal with the other things.” Luo Yang immediately understood and took away the knife and the time bomb.
Teacher Ren thought with satisfaction — En, this skill is very good. It can effectively calm the mania of controlled hostages as well as make them practice writing characters. Hehe.
