Chapter 335: Fang La and Bao Daoyi
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Saint Master!”
While the Twin Dragon Island was preparing for the surprisingly-challenging test, behind the five thousand soldiers on the southern continent that was moving to it, in a place that was defended by well-trained soldiers who were all wearing red turbans and above Extraordinary, there was a massive altar, which had a thirty-meter-tall white statue in the center, in the middle of a cavern that had abundant murals on the wall.
Sizzle! Sizzle...
Twelve black pillars that had some sort of calligraphic engravings and flames burning upside-down were established around the red altar.
From the top of the first black pillar, flames burst out and filled into a treasure that the white statue was holding.
It looked like a badge. It looked like jade but wasn’t made of jade. It was clear, but not entirely transparent.
All the power on the twelve fiery pillars was absorbed by the treasure. The liquid fire floating within the treasure kept flashing brilliantly!
“Before the universe was established, there were only evil and goodness. The goodness was called Lord of Light, and the evil was the Devil of Darkness!
“The Lord of Light founded a kingdom of light, whereas the Devil of Darkness created a terrain of darkness... Human beings had dark blood flowing in their veins, so they always suffered, and the world they lived in was a prison... The Lord of Light pitied them and sent his five sons to be swallowed by the darkness so that human beings would have a chance to pursue the light.
“When enough people worship the holy fire and the light, the Lord of Light will arrive and direct us to the eternal kingdom of light!
“The kingdom of light is a paradise where you will enjoy eternal happiness and stand immune to all evils!”
In front of the altar, an emaciated man who wore a white fiery robe was performing some sort of ritual.
After the ritual, the emaciated middle-aged man suddenly asked, “Master, do you think there really are gods in this world?”
“Well...”
It was a Daoist priest who failed to answer his question.
However, unlike Qiao Daoqing and Li Zhu, another two Daoists who had emerged before, this guy was dry and skinny, and he had the whiskers of a rat. In that Daoist robe, he looked like monkey in human clothes.
If Ji Ye were here, he would’ve guessed that the guy was Bao Daoyi, who was named “Spiritual Master” and who cut off one of Wu Song’s armors with his flying sword.
As for the person who asked him the question, he was undoubtedly Fang La!
Hearing Fang La’s question, Bao Daoyi slightly sweated and replied prudently, “Your Majesty, isn’t it obvious?
“We couldn’t have come to this place without the Lord of Light.”
“Indeed, without the Lord of Light, how could we have suddenly ended up in this place after the ritual seven days ago? Even Master Deng, Commander of the South, and other people, who were hundreds of kilometers away, appeared here with us... Only the Lord of Light could’ve worked such a miracle!”
Fang La stared at Bao Daoyi for several seconds.
After that, he smiled and became respectful again.
He then said rather excitedly, “The Lord of Light told us that this world is named ‘Land of Inheritance’.
“In this place, not only can we receive extraordinary powers, but we may also be granted eternal life.
“As soon as we accomplish the test by defeating the ‘Twin Dragon Island’ and looting their power of providence, we’ll be able to stay in this bright world created by the Lord of Light forever.”
“Eternal life!” Bao Daoyi’s rat eyes were glowing too.
“Your Majesty, emergency!”
At this moment, someone shrieked from outside the cavern.
“Someone has come close from the Twin Dragon Island on the sea, knocked down a dozen warships, and killed a hundred people!”
...
“Run for your life!”
“He’s not a human being at all, but a demonic dragon reborn!”
“Don’t come over here!”
On the surface of the sea, a dozen ships in different styles had been capsized.
Two thousand soldiers were swimming far away desperately in panic.
It was because they were being chased by a person wearing a purple robe, who seemed close and was really fast.
On his way, black Flood Dragons rose from the seawater and dragged the soldiers who failed to dodge down.
Fang La had initiated the rebellion in the south, and he had a lot of soldiers who were adept at swimming. Some of them even claimed that they could catch dragons from the sea!
However, no matter how good at swimming they were, it was impossible for them to surface again after the black Flood Dragons dragged them down.
In fact, not just the ravenous black Flood Dragons, but tides more than three meters high were also rising wherever the stranger walked to and smashed down the warships that were deployed to stop him.
The ships that weren’t solid enough were even crushed into pieces and floated on the surface of the sea with miscellaneous items.
“Why the panic?”
“We’re protected by the power of the Lord of Light’s five sons. Why should we be scared of an evil man?”
“Lord of Light, please grant me power so that I can annihilate all monsters in this world with the cannons!”
In a cultist troop, not everybody was scared of death. freew(e)bnovel.(c)om
A ship that was no smaller than the Mirage Dragon Warship appeared, with a Commander of Fang La’s army who had a red turban on his head!
Boom, boom, boom...
While he talked, smoke and fire spewed out from the ship, and deafening noises echoed.
Five cannons had fired at Ji Ye, throwing out five red cannonballs that were made of iron.
However, the ancient cannons were really underpowered that they were only threats to those below Extraordinary Rank-5.
Precision was a bigger problem. Four of the five cannonballs missed Ji Ye by more than three meters. As for the only cannonball that was aimed at him precisely, Ji Ye simply slapped his hand and launched a white aura at the cannonball, shattering it into metal pieces before it could approach him!
Thud! Thud!
As a result, not only did it fail to cause any damage to him, but its shrapnel even cut the necks of two Ordinary soldiers who were swimming in the sea. Some of the seawater was dyed red.
Whoosh!
When Ji Ye shattered the cannonball, the bottom of the tall ship trembled hard.
“Roar!”
Then, it was a dragon roar!
It could be seen that a jade dragon exclusively made of seawater and enshrouded in ivory light simply broke through the thick bottom of the ship.
Boom!
Then, it soared all the way up from the bottom.
Before the Commander, who thought that he was protected by the Lord of Light, could react, his head had already been bitten off.
Pop! Crackle!
The body of the transparent dragon even tore the ship apart from the middle.
“Roar!”
After the Commander’s head, where his eyes were still bulging, fell from his neck, a stream of yellow power of providence dashed from his body towards the Twin Dragon Island.
At the same time, a colorful scale that represented spoil of war dropped from his body.
“Roar!”
The jade dragon, after killing him and nearly sinking the warship, turned back into a white glow when the seawater dispersed and flew back into Ji Ye’s hand.
It was exactly the Jade Dragon Sword, which he hadn’t used for a long time!
