Chapter 406 We Are the Strongest Allies
The Octopus Demon at the bottom of the sea was still puzzled. It did not have any time to realize what happened, let alone regret and repent. It was vaporized on the spot. The Eel King was burned by the lightning bolt. He instantly had a burnt portion of meat. He was heavily injured.
However, he did not care about his injury. He looked at Li Nianfan, baffled and staring at him as if he had seen a ghost. His jaws were wide open at a ninety-degree angle.
‘What…what…what’s going on?
‘Is this not cheating?’ The lightning bolt was gone but the air was still filled with traces of it. It sizzled around everyone. No one dared to move an inch.
Li Nianfan slowly stood up and touched his back. Then, he gently peeled a tentacle off his shoulder.
“Yo, what a huge octopus tentacle.”
Li Nianfan hugged the tentacle. He had already decided that he was going to eat it. It was a shame that he only had one tentacle.
He made a guess. It was clear to him that he attracted the Octopus Demon by playing the zither. The Octopus Demon had sneaked up on him.
However, he wore the armor given to him by the Jade Emperor. The Octopus Demon did not break his defense, and it was punished by lightning because Li Nianfan had the Deluxe Merit Flesh. The tentacle was what was left of the octopus.
Everyone finally snapped out of it. They all gasped loudly at the same time.
Gasp
‘Scary, terrifying!’ A lot of Sea Demons were deranged after the lightning bolt. Their legs went soft as they fell to the ground. They stopped resisting.
The Eel King finally noticed the smoke on his body. He hurriedly applied water to his burnt meat. He was mind blown by the terrifying turn of events. He trembled and was frantic.
It was hard to imagine that his Second King, the Octopus Demon who was a Daluo Golden Immortal, died because he slapped an ordinary man. He was goners, left with just an octopus tentacle.
The Octopus Demon was their hidden force. They did not expect to be in such trouble. It was groundbreaking and they were dumbfounded.
‘I’m also heavily injured.’
“Our sweet plan fell apart. Just like that. There’s no logic to it. This is unreal.’
“Phew—”
Lord Taoist Taihua and the others noticed that Li Nianfan was fine and did not seem to be angry. They instantly sighed in relief. After the extreme shock and panic, they were extremely livid.
“I told you that we were looking out for you. You wouldn’t listen to us. Now look, dead.”
“The Western Sea’s going to lose. Everyone, follow me and kill them!”
“Don’t let any of them escape!” Lord Taoist Taihua and Ao Cheng yelled. They once again turned things around on the battlefield. The Western Sea Demons were at a disadvantage.
Li Nianfan had to laugh at the situation. He felt like it was a pleasant surprise.
‘In a way, this octopus tentacle indirectly helped us. I’ve achieved something in battle.’
The Eel King knew that he was going to lose. He was a decisive demon. He turned to escape with his half-burnt body. He did not forget to talk smack before fleeing. “Time flies and seasons change, I’ll be back!” “Eel Demon, where are you running to?!” Lord Taoist Taihua yelled coldly. He picked up the Sun Sword and chased after him.
Ao Cheng also chased after him. He suddenly had an idea and thought of the expert’s hobby. He immediately shouted, “Today, we shall taste your eel meat!”
“The battle’s over. Let’s go over to the battlefield.”
Li Nianfan stepped on the Deluxe Merit Cloud and safely flew over to the battlefield.
Everyone, especially the Western Sea Demons, shivered when the golden Deluxe Merit Cloud came over. They went pale from fright and they all backed away.
They did not know what was going on, they only knew that their awesome Second King died from slapping him. Not only was this man fine, but he also did not budge from that attack. Their Second King was vaporized from the lightning strike. He did not even get the chance to make a sound or anything.
It was extremely horrifying.
He was not to be messed with.
Ye Liuyun flew over to protect him. He said with respect, “Lord Saint, we’re at the final stage of the battle. Take a look, do you see anything you like?”.
He meant the seafood and the poultry and if he would like to eat them.
Li Nianfan waved it off. “I think we should wait until Ao Cheng and the others return. If it’s possible, that eel meat seems nice.”
Ye Liuyun nodded. “I understand. I think they won’t let you down, Lord Saint.”
Nanan teleported and landed on the Deluxe Merit Cloud. “Brother Nianfan.”
Li Nianfan smiled and asked, “Nanan, you’re improving fast. What level are you at?”
“Mahayala.” Nanan chuckled. “I absorbed a lot of power this time, too. I can devour various types of power now. I can probably immortalize soon.”
ver na
Then, she looked at Dragin smugly, almost as if she was hinting that she would be able to catch up soon.
Dragin scrunched her nose and scoffed, “Ha, I’m a great cultivator. I won’t need to cultivate for fast improvement.”
“Alright, you’re both awesome. You’re all geniuses,” laughed Li Nianfan. Nanan and Dragin were indeed geniuses. ‘According to their growth, they’d probably become bigshots in the future. Awesome.’
Lord Taoist Taihua and Ao Cheng were out of the Western Sea. They had entered the Southern Sea.
The Eel King started to relax. He became calm again.
He looked back cautiously while using his powers to heal his burnt flesh. He thought to himself, ‘Ha, catch me if you can. Wait until we arrive at the Southern Sea turf. I’ll make sure you won’t get out!’
Several figures slashed through the sky at maximum speed. Lord Taoist Taihua was very fast. He was catching up with the Eel King.
He was stern as he said, “Evil Eel, I must kill you with this sword today!”
“Chase me if you’re not afraid to die!” the Eel King sneered coldly. Suddenly, he saw two figures and his eyes lit up. He quickly flew over to them.
The two figures were Ao Shu and Ao Feng. They had just returned from somewhere. They were also smiling with an orange in hand.
Ao Feng said, “This time, I sent my Third Brother into the Sucking Gourd, my Sixth Sister’s missing. Next time, I’ll be able to gather all my siblings.”
Ao Shu smiled and said, “It’s indeed effective whenever you do things, Prince. Statistically, most of the elders are with the Southern Sea Dragons. If we work harder, we’ll be able to take over the Southern Sea.”
Ao Feng said, “Our opponent’s powerful. All my efforts are for the greater good of the Southern Sea Dragons. I hope my father can understand where I’m coming from.”
Suddenly, they both saw the fleeing Eel King. They looked at each other and went over.
Ao Shu asked, “Eel King, why did you run over here from the Western Sea? Also… Are you hurt?”
“Prince Ao Feng, Elder Ao Shu!”
The Eel King looked overjoyed. He wagged his eel body and exclaimed, “Haha, pals. It’s so nice running into you at a dangerous time like this!”
Ao Shu furrowed his brow and asked, “What happened?”
“The Heavenly Palace sent an army to get rid of us. Things were originally in our control. Too bad that in the final moment, we were too careless. We lost.”
The Eel King sighed. Then, he rushed to say, “We’re allies! Now that the Heavenly Palace is rebuilt, we can’t let it become powerful. How about we work together and get rid of them once and for all?!”
Ao Shu looked at the incoming Lord Taoist Taihua and Ao Cheng. He instantly brushed his beard and nodded, “You’re right, Eel King.”
The Eel King instantly felt confident. He turned around and calmly faced the incoming Ao Cheng and Lord Taoist Taihua. He felt empowered to fight again.
Lord Taoist Taihua slightly frowned. He slowed down and said sternly, “The Heavenly Palace is arresting the wanted criminal. Those who aren’t involved better leave!”
“Haha, ridiculous. They aren’t random nobodies. They’re my allies. They’re also criminals!”
The Eel King laughed loudly. He held the Xuanyuan Water Flag and the short Black Dagger. He reminded them in a low voice, “They can’t fight all three of us together! Also, this is your turf in the Southern Sea. Once we attack, we’ll have backup. I’m confident that we can take them!”
“Don’t worry, Eel King. We get it.”
Ao Shu nodded with confidence. He took out a huge seal.
Ao Feng held a blue harpoon tightly. He chimed in, “That’s right. We’re the strongest allies.”
“Great allies! I truly made the right choice.” The Eel King felt excited. He said, “On my mark, attack!”
Bam!
Spurt! Ao Feng and Ao Shu attacked without hesitation. The huge seal was stamped on the Eel King’s head as the harpoon pierced through it…
