Chapter 261: The Battle On The Raging Ocean
Translator: BeetleBarker, AtlasStudios Editor: AtlasStudios
A long motorcade had formed outside Dinghai City. Rising Army Dragon soldiers toting weapons were barking out instructions to pave the way.
“Listen up! Let the children and the elderly up first!”
“Hey, don’t cheat! I’m talking to you. Are you a child or a lady? Then move to the back!”
“Hurry up! Move a little faster!”
All sorts of noisy sounds could be heard, including some grumbling people.
“Damn it, it’s all Luo Yunyang’s fault. We were all living fine in Dinghai City until he went crazy…”
“Don’t say this, Old Lu. We can’t blame Commissar Luo for this. The Unrivalled Fleet has been running amuck for years. If no one had defied them, they would have just climbed all over our heads and become even more savage!”
Everyone around nodded their heads when they heard this. However, they still felt worried.
“Where is Luo Yunyang? Why hasn’t a god-grade powerhouse like him appeared yet? Even… Even if he can’t beat the Unrivalled Fleet, he at least has to…”
“He wouldn’t choose to run away at such a time, right?” the man known as Old Lu said rather mockingly.
When the Rising Dragon Army soldiers passing by heard Old Lu grumble, they got angry.
The iron-blooded Rising Dragon Army firmly believed that compromising and being obedient would only show others that you were weak. The weak were liable to get bullied, so it was alright to get all bruised and battered if one could live to their heart’s content.
Luo Yunyang wasn’t wrong. If they were in his place, they would have done the same thing!
Bang! A big man bumped into Old Lu, who landed on the ground in surprise.
“What… What are you trying to do?” The battered Old Lu cursed as he struggled to get up.
“I’m not trying to do anything. I’m sorry. The floor was a little smooth, so I slipped and knocked into you. How about I pay for your medical fees?” the frank man said happily as he slapped Old Lu hard on the shoulder.
Old Lu touched his bump, which felt like he had been struck by a huge wooden club. He had just gotten up, when the big man slapped him ferociously. He suddenly felt pain course through his shoulder. It seemed as if there were needles pricking it.
“I think you are doing this intentionally. You are hitting me as a form of retaliation. I… I want to issue a complaint!”
“Alright, alright… I have yet to receive a complaint this week. Go and tell the fellows in charge of the martial law. I am Old Tie. Report me if you can!”
The big man seemed very confident that people would side with him. He actually hopped around as if he was boxing, intentionally making fun of Old Lu. Old Lu’s face turned red from rage. He believed that this world was filled with malicious intent.
“Listen carefully. The Commissar isn’t someone you can insult as you please!” the big man said before he swaggered off.
Old Lu’s face was beet red. Although he wanted to hurl a round of verbal abuse at that fellow, he lacked the confidence to do it.
“Quick, take a look at the Sky Vision!” someone shouted suddenly.
Old Lu was considered an elite individual in Dinghai City, so his communication device was the latest model of technology. He quickly took out his communication device and saw a line of words displayed on it.
Luo Yunyang had appeared outside Dinghai City!
Luo Yunyang’s hands were clasped behind his back as he stood outside Dinghai City. Endless waves were flowing beneath his feet, making him look like a sea god that had risen into the air.
150 kilometers away, Lakiren was staring at the floating Luo Yunyang with a provocative expression.
“We didn’t slay that god completely, kids. This time, he has delivered himself to our doorstep, so we can’t let him run away!”
Lakiren’s guard, a blond young man standing next to him, answered confidently, “I have already gotten our men to activate the intercepting system. As long as he appears on the ocean, he will become our target.”
“I believe that he is probably thinking of using himself as bait to attract our taboo weapons. This god-grade entity is great indeed!”
These mocking words instigated hearty laughter. As everyone was laughing, they suddenly saw Luo Yunyang take a step forward.
This step would probably have been very short for an ordinary person, but it was a few kilometers long for a god-grade powerhouse.
Lakiren and the others, who had already been prepared for this, issued orders quickly.
However, the instant that step was made, Luo Yunyang vanished from the apparatus they were using to watch him.
Yes, vanished. A vast area of the ocean that spanned several miles was under their surveillance, yet there was currently no trace of Luo Yunyang.
It was as if he had never existed.
How was this possible?
Lakiren immediately wondered whether his eyesight had gotten worse with age. How could a human just vanish from his vision without reason? Even if Luo Yunyang had been able to fly faster than a bird, he would still have left some kind of trace. How could he defy logic?
“Raise the radar settings to the max. I want to know his current position!” Lakiren snarled.
“Admiral, the radar doesn’t show any signs of Luo Yunyang either!” a general said in disbelief.
Lakiren was dumbfounded. He had suddenly discovered Luo Yunyang once again. Luo Yunyang had appeared in the air like a god.
A young man with his hands clasped behind his back had descended like a celestial being on the roiling sea.
“Fire the cannons!” Lakiren was well aware of the severity of the situation. However, before he could finish his words, Luo Yunyang smiled faintly in his direction and disappeared once more.
“Admiral, Luo Yunyang has disappeared without a trace. Our comprehensive defence system can’t target him!” someone reported anxiously.
Lakiren felt as if he had just encountered his biggest inconvenience ever. A disappearing person who couldn’t be tracked by a comprehensive defence system was an ill-matched bane for the Unrivalled Fleet.
“This… This…”
As Lakiren forced himself to calm down, Luo Yunyang’s silhouette appeared once again on the ocean’s surface. He seemed to be strolling leisurely, yet with every step he took he crossed a huge distance.
“Admiral, Luo Yunyang is currently using a strange speeding technique to advance towards us. According to our estimations, he will reach us in one minute max. If that happens…”
The urgent reports from the command center made Lakiren’s last bit of pride vanish completely. He mulled the situation over for a second before waving his arm. “Retreat! Everyone retreat! We are leaving Dinghai’s waters and the 13 Eastern Cities’ territory!”
The Unrivalled Fleet was retreating!
The various military powerhouses of Dinghai City were all extremely astonished as they watched the Unrivalled Fleet flee anxiously.
The Unrivalled Fleet, which had been running rampant for many years, had actually been scared away by Luo Yunyang. From that day on, its prestige would sink to the bottom of the ocean, just like that splashing ocean spray.
Meanwhile, practically every person in Shen’du and Meiya was watching the Unrivalled Fleet escape in panic.
Luo Yunyang had written history!
As many people started to cheer loudly, they suddenly saw a figure descend eerily onto the deck of a large warship.
The warship, which was over a kilometer long, housed over 10,000 crew members. Its radar system picked up this figure quickly.
“Admiral, he’s onboard the Fury Falcon!” Lakiren’s loyal aide blurted out anxiously.
Lakiren had a grave expression on his face as he clapped his hands and said, “Order the Fury Falcon to immediately…”
Just as his voice passed down the appropriate channels, a 300-meter tall body rose up from the ocean.
It was the Rampaging Devine Body!
The Rampaging Devine Body formed out of the congealing sea water raised its huge fists and smashed them into the Fury Falcon’s deck, which was at least 500 meters wide.
BOOM!
This massive power caused the entire Fury Falcon to tremble and the Unrivalled Fleet soldiers onboard the Fury Falcon to shout hysterically.
Their eyes were filled with fear as the massive Rampaging Devine Body left them at a loss.
“Order No.1, No. 3 and No. 9 to launch their taboo weapons at the Fury Falcon. All other ships will launch their taboo weapons to block the area five kilometers around the Fury Falcon. Do not leave a single gap!” Lakiren made a decision in a heartbeat.
Many people had disturbed looks on their faces when they heard his order. After all, they knew the people onboard the Fury Falcon, so they couldn’t just wipe them away.
However, no one opposed his command in the end. As the order was transmitted, layers of taboo weapons rushed towards the Fury Falcon.
A faint smile appeared in Luo Yunyang’s face when he saw the sky fill with taboo weapons. Although he used to feel some apprehensiveness when it came to taboo weapons in the past, they were no longer a problem for him.
Luo Yunyang took a step forward and appeared on yet another warship.
This time, he unleashed his tyrannical mind power immediately and created a violent storm of mind power on the ship.
“Admiral, the Fury Storm has lost its signal. Luo Yunyang is onboard!” someone reported to Lakiren in a hushed tone.
Lakiren’s hands started shaking. He had killed and plundered at wish for so many years because the Da Alliance had been forced to tolerate the cannon fire of the Unrivalled Fleet.
Even a god-grade powerhouse hadn’t been much of a threat in his eyes.
However, this particular god-grade powerhouse was going to slaughter them all, which made him feel extremely afraid.
“Destroy the Fury Storm!” Lakiren’s hands kept shaking. Although he believed that this order wouldn’t be effective, he still gave it.
Three minutes later, a warship 15 kilometers away from the flagship was enveloped by a golden blaze. As they watched the images displayed on the electronic screens, Lakiren and the others could hear hysterical cries.
One ship, two ships, three ships…
As large warship after large warship sank, the entire Unrivalled Fleet’s command center fell into a deadly silence. Practically no one was making a sound.
The soldiers’ mouths were dry and they felt as though there was a heavy weight pressing down on their lips, preventing them from saying anything.
“The Little Cat has fled!” The silence in the command center was eventually broken by a hushed voice.
If the Little Cat, which was part of the Unrivalled Fleet’s main force, was running away, then the Unrivalled Fleet was about to collapse.
In the past, the supreme commander of the Unrivalled Fleet would have caught all the officers onboard the Little Cat and hung them. However, in this case, he could only shake his head softly without saying a word.
The Little Cat appeared before their eyes, except this time it was encapsulated in ice.
The sea water that sprouted up enveloped the Little Cat in an instant and turned it into pieces of azure ice. The entire ship was turned into an ice sculpture.
Luo Yunyang stood still on top of the frozen mast.
“We surrender!” As the Unrivalled Fleet’s supreme commander, Lakiren made the only decision he could at this moment.
They had to surrender!
The Unrivalled Fleet, a powerful military force that had been running rampant on the seven seas, had hoisted up a white flag.
Shen’du, Mei’ya and the Free Cities were stunned. Even some god-grade powerhouses couldn’t believe it when they saw the white flag rising on the mast.
However, when they saw the burning ships and the scattered forces of the Unrivalled Fleet, they felt that this had been both just and inevitable.
A Buddha Disk flew around Luo Yunyang’s back and aimed at the white flag.
The disk shot through the air and sliced the hoisted flag in two. Luo Yunyang was like an eagle gliding towards the Unrivalled Fleet’s flagship, The Unrivalled.
The moment the white flag was shredded, the warships still gathered around The Unrivalled scattered like the wind in every direction.
“Admiral, we have to think of a way to escape. Otherwise, we will…” a trusted aide advised Lakiren sincerely as he walked over.
Lakiren shook his head. “It’s no use. Luo Yunyang has torn up the white flag, which means that he plans on exterminating us. We no longer have the advantage of distance. We are mere ants before a god-grade powerhouse.”
“Don’t we also have a god-grade entity behind us, Admiral? You could ask for help. Hurry up!” Lakiren’s subordinate urged him anxiously.
“Ask for help? It’s no use. There is no guarantee that help will get here in time. Plus, even if the god-grade entity could come in time, he wouldn’t take action on our behalf. We are a notorious force after all.”
Lakiren pointed into the distance as he added, “Although we have lost this time, it wasn’t due to our pride and arrogance. Our opponent was just too powerful. I’m afraid that the power of taboo weapons will become more and more insignificant in the future.”
As Lakiren said this, he sensed a power similar to a violent storm rush frantically into his mind. As this powerful storm attacked him, he was no longer aware of anything happening around him.
Luo Yunyang was a telekinesis master!
This was the only thing Lakiren could think of as his heart filled with indignance.
This was the sort of indignance one felt after losing their remaining bargaining chips!
