Chapter 614: The Sneaky Old Dragon That Has Everything

Guming was standing at the edge of the Storm Ocean. He was watching the lightning dancing all around with his darkened eyes. Each flash of lightning lit up his eyes as if they were able to pierced through the darkness in his heart.

“This is definitely the Chaos Flag and the aura belongs to the Soul Master for sure!

“You’ve gotta hand it to her for still having the ability to incur the protection of the divine thunderbolt with only a small remnant of her soul.

“But no matter, it’s still no match for me!” Guming said with a cold smile on his face.

With a wave of his hand, a jade white boat sailboat appeared, glowing with holy light and giving off a sacred aura. It was obviously a high-level treasure.

“Everyone, get on the boat!” Guming ordered, his voice indifferent and arrogant.

Lord Guyu and the rest of the group cautiously board the boat with reverence on their face.

“Lord Guming will be bringing us across the Storm Ocean. Keep both of your feet firmly on the boat. Don’t blame us if you fall off and die!” Guyu reminded them.

Guming did not say anything further. He only waved his hand gently to make the White Jade Boat move forward.

As soon as the White Jade Boat entered the Storm Ocean, they could feel the repelling force from the black hole, which greatly slowed the speed of advancement and greatly prolonged their travelling time. This had the effect of doubling the pressure they were feeling as the danger had greatly increased.

Boom!

A thunderbolt fell from the sky and struck the White Jade Boat.

At this moment, a transparent barrier appeared around the White Jade Boat. Although the glow from the barrier was not strong, it nonetheless gave off the feeling of it being impenetrable. The Chaos Thunderbolt bombarded the barrier but it barely made a ripple of the surface. The White Jade Boat steadily moved on and their worries were replaced by calmness. Emboldened, they started to survey their surroundings.

Suddenly, Guming’s brows became knitted white staring off in a particular direction. He could see a group of people walking along and their aura was extraordinary.

“Them again?!” The Left Messenger cried out in a trembling voice while her eyes had become as wide as saucers. ‘It’s impossible for this to be a coincidence! Why won’t they leave us alone?’

The Minister raised one of his eyebrows and asked, “What’s the matter? Do you know them?”

“That bald dog over there is the one I’ve told you about.” The Left Messenger swallowed down her fear, trying to suppress it. “This dog is extraordinary and very evil. He’s the main reason for all of our failed missions.”

“He’s that dog?” The Minister’s eyes narrowed to slits while staring at Blackie. Though he had never met Blackie before, he had heard many stories about him from the Left Messenger. ‘He’s the bane of the Ministry’s existence. Did he come here to foil our mission again?’

“Why are you all getting your panties in a wad for a mere dog? Shame on you all!” A frowning Guming said.

“My Lord, this dog possesses extraordinary powers and there’s someone even more powerful behind him. They have been fighting against us all this while. I suspect his master is one of the Nine Elites! I’m afraid nothing good will come out of them being here,” said the Minister.

“The Nine Elites again? They should stay dead!” Guming said in a cold voice. Then he continued while turning his gaze at Blackie. “Let’s just see if this dog is as powerful as you’ve said.”

With that, he raised his hand and casually cast out an attack. A terrifying light beam suddenly shot down from the Chaos and cut down to the Storm Ocean — aiming straight for Blackie!

Blackie stood still at where he was with an expression of calm. His coldness was on par with Guming. He slowly raised his paw, pushed the air slightly, and a silent aura spread out to suppress Guming’s attack which disappeared as if it never existed.

“Not bad,” said Guming. It was obviously a very moderate compliment.

The fact that Blackie could suppress his attack so easily meant that he was no ordinary dog. For a dog to have such a high-level of spiritual cultivation was rare. Guming wondered what kind of species he was.

“Yes. Pity we need to find the Soul Master quickly and don’t have the time to exterminate him!” The Minister said with vehemence. The Ministry had suffered so much damage under Blackie’s hand and he had lost so many of his powerful servants. It was heartbreaking for him to have only the Left Messenger survived.

“No worries, we can exterminate them after,” said Guming without any expressions as if they were discussing an everyday occurrence.

The Left Messenger could not wipe away the trauma in her heart and though she was not sure whether she should say anything, she could not help it in the end. “Do you think they would follow us in?”

“Haha, that’s impossible!” Guming said with a shake of his head. “One needs not only to guard against the Chaos Thunderbolt but also withstand the repelling force coming from one’s heart to be able to enter here. And the more we go deeper, the stronger the Chaos Thunderbolt will be. They would surely die if they were to enter unprepared. Besides, I’m sure they don’t have the same boat as mine!”

“My Lord, please don’t be angry. I apologize for the Left Messenger’s asking such an ignorant question,” said the Minister with a smile meant to appease Guming.

“You must have suffered too many defeats at the paw of this dog to regard him as such. Rest assured he’s nothing compared to me,” said Guming, returning the Minister’s smile.

Blackie withdrew his paw with a frown. “How dare he send out the first attack? And who is he to be acting cool? I can’t stand him!” Then he turned to Old Dragon and said, “Why don’t you use that sneaky brain of yours to come up with a plan to destroy them?”

“Didn’t your mama teach to keep your mouth shut if you have nothing nice to say? My pure soul was forced to become like this by you. As for a plan… there is something…” Old Dragon gave off a loud humph and proceeded to dig around for something in his pockets.

“A lightning rod!” He said as he raised up the lightning rod. “I trust that you know how to use it since you’re familiar with it.”

“Well done, Old Dragon! You’re like a treasure chest that has everything,” said Blackie with sparkles in his eyes. The corner of his lips curved up in an evil smile.

Without further ado, Blackie threw one end of the lightning rod at Guming’s White Jade Boat and led the group to enter the Storm Ocean. “Follow me, everyone!”

The Ministry people had been observing their actions till now and were confused at what they were doing.

“What are they doing? Do they seriously think we’ll pull them along?”

“Maybe they’re planning to pull us back. They must be out of ideas.”

“Hey look, that dog has entered the Storm Ocean! He looks so ridiculous with that pointy thing on his head.”

“Here comes the lightning! He’s gonna get struck down!”

They knew Blackie would not die easily from getting hit by lightning but watching him get struck down was enough to make them gleeful with anticipation. Their faces started to break out in wide grins and their eyes became wide with hope.

Under their watchful gaze, the lightning indeed landed on Blackie without a doubt.

However, the electricity was absorbed by the giant metal needle on his head, rushed along the wire, and hit the White Jade Boat.

Boom!

The White Jade Boat, along with the protective barrier, shook violently from the hit.

“What happened? Why were we hit instead?”

“Sh*t! I’ve never heard of a lightning who can bend!”

“How did that dog avoid getting hit!?”

Everybody was shaking with a confused look on their faces.

“Another lightning is coming down!”

“I refuse to believe it will only hit us!”

Boom!

The next Chaos Thunderbolt was thicker than the previous and was similarly aiming for Blackie. However, the same thing happened again. The electricity travelled from the tip of the rod to the ground rod which was on the White Jade Boat.

The White Jade Boat not only had to withstand the usual Chaos Thunderbolt but also the lightning that travelled through the rod, making its damage doubled! The electricity surged up the Ministry’s people’s body causing them to become numb and the tip of the hair to curl up.

“No sh*t, it hit us again!”

“It must be because of that giant needle on his head. Let’s quickly cut this wire!”

“How could it be? What kind of treasure is that?”

“Another lightning is coming! Why are there so many?!”

Everyone looked at the top of Blackie’s head and realized the further they were into the Storm Ocean, the more lightning occurred. The lightning seemed to be drawn by the lightning rod for they were all rushing towards it which made sense for the lightning rod also came with the ability to attract lightning.

“Hurry, Left Messenger! Cut that wire!” The Minister ordered in a panic-stricken voice.

“You there! Cut the wire!” The Left Messenger shouted to the person beside her without hesitation while putting some distance between them at the same time.

After acknowledging her order, the person immediately raised up his big knife and cut the wire at the same time as a Chaos Thunderbolt — with the power of three lightning — travelled up the wire and into the knife.

Crackle!

At the sound of the thunder, the person with the knife and the three comrades next to him were turned into air, as if they never existed in this world before. They did not even have the time to gasp out in horror.

Gasp!

The rest of the people on the boat collectively gasped out in horror. Their bodies shook tremulously and their legs turned into jelly. The fright nearly made Left Messenger shit her pants.

‘Here I am again brushing up against the grim reaper. Nothing but a fine line separating life and death. That dog is nothing but a curse!’ The Left Messenger thought.

Everyone turned to look towards Blackie and found themselves gasping in horror again for countless lightning had gathered above his head! They could not catch a break at all! They looked on with their mouths hanging wide open with their chin nearling hitting the deck.

“Blimey! That’s a sh*t load of lightning!”

“We’re gonna die! We’re gonna die!”

“What should we do?”

The scene before them was enough to make them pee in their pants. They found it hard to imagine what kind of pain would befall them when all the lightning struck them at the same time.

“Everybody, power up your mana! Don’t even think of holding it in!” Guming instructed with sombre eyes at the crucial moment. “And pray.”

Boom!

The lightning rod absorbed all of the lighting and rushed crackingly along the wire and hit the White Jade Boat with a deafening roar.

The entire White Jade Boat became covered under a pure white light as if the Chaos Thunderbolt wanted to cement its power as the most destructive power in the world, with the ability to decimate anything!

The white light disappeared as fast as it appeared. When the dust had settled, it was discovered half of the people on the White Jade Boat had been decimated which freed up the previously tight space.

The surviving members did not fare any better with their tattered clothing, blackened face, and vertical hairstyle as if they had all turned into Super Saiyan. A puff of smoke even came out of their mouth when they opened it!

Half of Guming’s purple hair was gone, making him seem a little worse for wear. However, he did not dare to waste any time on the frivolous as Blackie’s lightning rod was drawing in the lightning again! He had to get the boat as far away as possible.

Faster! Faster! Get away from here!

In contrast, Blackie and the rest of his group were strolling casually along the Storm Ocean while watching the drama unfolding on the White Jade Boat with glee!

“That would teach you to act cool in front of me!

“The more you act cool the sillier you would look when you get hit by lightning.

“Haha, don’t go away so fast. Let’s play a little longer. Here comes another lightning!” Blackie said.

Strikes after strikes of lightning pursue the White Jade Boat from behind. By the time they had entered the black hole, all the members below the level of the Heavenly Realm had been eliminated, leaving only six surviving people on board — Guming, Guyu, the Minister, Left Messenger, and two Heavenly Realm servants.

It was not an easy journey. The smell of roasted flesh accompanied their blackened and tingling body, tattered clothing, and vertical hairstyle. The shame of it all nearly drove them mad!

They did not even care that they were finally inside the black hole. They stared fixedly at Blackie and the group with undisguised hatred, waiting to kill them all there and then.

The Minister found it difficult to breathe at the thought of losing all of his men. It had taken him countless years to recruit and train them only to end up killed within a short period of time. He was still reeling from the shock of his powerful men gone so easily.

“Y’all are as good as dead!” He screamed at them with red eyes.

“I’m going to torturn you all little by little. You’ll surely regret all the things you did to me today,” shouted Guming in a sinister voice.

Blackie pointed at them and said, “They’re at their wits’ end!”

“Foolish dog! Don’t you know that even if there were only six of us left, you still don’t stand a winning chance?” Guyu laughed coldly after saying that. His aura was overpowering.

Even if the Minister did not join the battle, his group still consisted of five high-level members of the Heavenly Realm after all. Unlike Blackie’s group with only four of them — Blackie, Old Dragon, Nuwa and Cultivator Junjun — at the Heavenly Realm level. As for the rest of Blackie’s group, their existence could be ignored.

“He’s right,” Old Dragon said, after assessing both group’s combat power.

“Of course I’m right, you piece of sh*t!” Guming said with a sinister smile before coming at them.
