Chapter 2519 - 2517: Dance of the Demonic Horde (Part 2)
A group of Demon Kings turned their heads in unison towards Cang Tianba, unexpectedly encountering someone daring enough to cause trouble on their island.
Though Long Fei never mentioned keeping them around, they already considered themselves part of this island.
The Black Dragon King was the first to stand up, angrily shouting at Cang Tianba, "Where did this wild brat come from? Dare to cause a ruckus on our Liangshan Island?"
Cang Tianba’s anger surged, stirring a ripple of waves, "Blind fool, I am the Water God of Liangshan Lake. When you see me, why don’t you quickly kneel and worship?"
The Black Dragon King shouted loudly, "Ha, what do you think you are, daring to demand that I kneel? I am Li Heilong, a general under the Superior Immortal Sect. If you have some sense, quickly kneel and think. If I’m in a good mood, I might even give you a bone to eat."
The Demon Kings were having a naming controversy, and the Black Dragon King adopted the surname Li.
They said it’s a royal surname, fitting for his status.
The Bald Dog advised him to switch the ’black’ to ’little,’ simply calling him Li Xiaolong.
The Black Dragon King felt the ’little’ was unbecoming, and calling himself ’big dragon’ might offend Long Fei.
So, he settled on calling himself Li Heilong.
"You old fool, how dare you speak to me like that!"
Cang Tianba’s eyes turned red, and he swung up his great sword, slashing downward at the Black Dragon King mid-air.
The blade aura spread thirty miles wide, pressing the lake surface into sinking, causing towering splashes.
Little demons were terrified, hurriedly avoiding, leaving the Black Dragon King alone holding a Square Sky Halberd, raising his hand to deflect it.
The blade aura hacked the Square Sky Halberd with a crack.
The Black Dragon King’s foot thudded, creating a meter deep web of cracks around, dust rising tens of meters high.
The Black Dragon King’s teeth chattered, palms bleeding from the shock.
Luckily, his Square Sky Halberd was a True Immortal Magical Treasure, or else it couldn’t withstand such impact.
"Little brat, you’re lucky. Now taste another swing from me."
Cang Tianba was full of surprise, not expecting the wild demon had a True Immortal Treasure in his hand.
He raised his great sword, ready to attack again.
At this moment, the Bald Dog and three others rushed over, tossing a shiny object towards Cang Tianba from above the water waves.
These objects were like crystals, each glittering and translucent.
Cang Tianba shouted, "Trying to sneak attack, eh?"
He swung his great sword, sweeping across the crystal objects, the blade aura enveloping all sides, shattering the crystals into pieces.
Simultaneously, a series of crackling explosions erupted.
Golden lightning enveloped Cang Tianba, a massive force of thunder engulfing all sides, enveloping thousands of water demons riding on the waves within.
Golden lightning tore through everything, ripping open Cang Tianba’s body near True Immortal state, blasting bones into fragments.
At the last moment, Cang Tianba brought out a shell-looking protective item, wrapping his charred body inside, dropping into water to escape far away.
The Bald Dog chuckled, "The Thunderbolt Child of Ninth Heaven is refined by Golden Immortal. If you don’t die, it will at least wreck you."
Da Heiniu approached, patting the standing Black Dragon King, concerned, "What’s up, are you hurt?"
The Black Dragon King’s legs softened, retreating a few steps, thrusting the Square Sky Halberd into the ground to force himself upright, "How do I look, did I disgrace Liangshan Island?"
Da Heiniu, Bald Dog, and Ground Rat Demon King all laughed, "No, you’re so cool, you’re practically dropping dazzling awesomeness."
"Thanks!"
The Black Dragon King spewed a mouthful of blood, plopping down on the ground.
He indeed suffered from receiving a direct blade, organs severely shaken.
Had he known earlier, he wouldn’t pretend, but would’ve dodged.
The Bald Dog gathered everyone together, asking about Cang Tianba.
Among the Seventy-Two Demon Kings, indeed there were some who knew Cang Tianba.
When Cang Tianba first took office, he invited Demon Kings from all sides.
A Demon King once went drinking there, having some understanding of Cang Tianba.
He worriedly told his brothers, "Cang Tianba is not a bandit tyrant, he is indeed the Water God of Liangshan Lake, holding Water God’s Seal. His background is significant, originating from Nether Sea, rumored to be a son of a Sea Dragon King in Nether Sea. Later, he married into the East Sea Dragon King’s family, becoming the son-in-law of East Sea Dragon King."
The Bald Dog clicked his tongue, "He sure has some background."
The Black Dragon King swallowed a pill, calming the True Qi a lot.
He bowed his head towards Bald Dog, "Dog Bro, did I cause trouble again? If I had spoken nicely, I wouldn’t have brought disaster to our Liangshan Island."
In these little demons’ eyes, East Sea Dragon King was an untouchable existence.
The Bald Dog laughed, "What trouble? Whoever comes to our Liangshan Island causing problems, you can respond with weapons. Remember, in the Three Realms, there is no one our master wouldn’t dare antagonize."
Everyone stared at Bald Dog in disbelief.
The Bald Dog didn’t explain much either, got up and instructed, "Everyone continue working, don’t delay the project. I’ll call some helpers back to prevent that old codger East Sea Dragon King from sending people to cause trouble."
The Demon Kings nodded, faces not relaxed.
Currently, with Long Fei in seclusion, only Bald Dog and two others are outside entertaining.
They feared Bald Dog and the two might not handle it, unsure what kind of help they could bring.
Inside Water God Palace, Cang Tianba, covered in soot, returned, weakly opening the shell, shouting hoarsely outside, "Come, come here!"
The maids in Water God Palace heard the commotion, hurried over, startled by Cang Tianba’s appearance.
They quickly invited Chancellor Turtle.
Chancellor Turtle was also flustered, immediately ordered a bath tub prepared, with medicinal water poured to soak Cang Tianba inside.
Cang Tianba already passed into unconsciousness, muttering constantly, "Quickly, quickly invite my wife over."
Chancellor Turtle assured continuously, "Rest assured, my King, I’ve already informed the lady. She’ll arrive soon, you just rest and recover."
It knew this wasn’t safe, early on sent a letter to Dragon Maiden.
Dragon Maiden was already on her way here.
Originally bringing only a squad of guards, upon hearing about her husband’s situation on the way, knowing it escalated, immediately sent someone back to inform the Dragon King to dispatch ten thousand naval soldiers to assist.
By the time she reached Water God Palace, Cang Tianba, having been restored by medicinal water, regained consciousness.
Dragon Maiden, wiping tears, called out in sorrow, "My dear, who beat you like this? Such ruthless moves!"
Cang Tianba groaned, "Don’t cry, merely your husband’s moment of carelessness. The island’s demon clan are cunning, ambushing me with hidden weapons. Just wait, when your husband recovers, I’ll surely settle blood debts with them."
Dragon Maiden nodded, saying, "I’ve already sent a message to father, asking him to bring ten thousand naval soldiers to assist. By then, we’ll slaughter these damn wild demons clean."
In her eyes, these unregistered demon clans were wild animals; only they were demon clan elites and royal family.
Cang Tianba nodded, contemplating, "These wild demons are formidable, I’ll send another letter to the hometown for some masters to assist."
Dragon Maiden agreed, "Alright, this time we must let father see, and prevent those brothers and sisters from underestimating us."
She immediately handed Cang Tianba a jade pendant, allowing him to send a letter to the homeland.
This thing is akin to a recorder, able to imprint consciousness within.
