Chapter 221: Black Shark King
No matter how difficult the journey, he still had to go home. Waiting for respite in the Eastern Ocean is akin to seeking their deaths. As such, they all quickly got into formation and pulled each other along like a bunch of refugees, and slowly flew to the mainland.
It was safe for the first few days. However, at a certain point of time, they suddenly felt that something was wrong. There were no clouds above them in the skies, for a few thousand kilometres journey. In addition, there was a sudden change in the direction of the wind. Black clouds coalesced from all over, resulting in a pitch-black sky. Suddenly, there was a large downpour.
Initially, everyone thought that this was just a natural occurrence. Soon, they quickly realised that something was wrong because there was a strong Water-type spiritual Qi in the rain. It was obvious that this rain was artificially created by someone. Furthermore, not only did the rain blocked the light, it even caused a state of dis...o...b..bulation, resulting in one unable to determine their directions in the rain.
Everyone was startled as they come to this realisation. The knowledgeable JinDan cultivator, Dan QingZi, shouted out, “Aiyah, not good! This is probably the Ten Thousand Miles Downpour Formation, by the Black Shark King of the Eastern Ocean Surveillance Corps. I’m afraid we have fallen for their encirclement!”
“Black Shark King of the Eastern Ocean Surveillance Corps?” As everyone heard that name, all of their expressions changed as though they heard something extremely frightening.
As SongZhong noticed the bleak expressions on everyone’s faces, he hurriedly asked, “Senior uncle Dan QingZi, who is the Black Shark King?”
“He is an extremely strong and cruel demonic beast. It is said that he is a black shark who has cultivated for over a millennium. There are no cultivators who have encountered him and lived to tell the tale! All of them became fish food for the black sharks brethren! Our luck is just too horrible. First, we came across Lightning Eagle King and now, the Black Shark King. Just how are we going to survive this?”
“Cheh, so what if he is the Black Shark King? Since I can scare the Lightning Eagle King away, I will also be able to scare the Black Shark King away!”, replied SongZhong.
As everyone heard that, they could not help but reveal joyful expressions. Only Qing DanZi still remained pessimistic, “I hope that’s the case!”
SongZhong deduced that Dan QingZi did not think too highly of him, which made SongZhong extremely puzzled. After all, Dan QingZi had already witnessed how he chased away the Lightning Eagle King, so why was Dan QingZi still so unconfident towards him?
Just as SongZhong wanted to clarify some doubts with Dan QingZi, a loud demonic beast’s roar could be heard from afar.
This savage roar attracted everyone’s attention of everyone and consequently, a ruthless voice sounded, “Who is SongZhong? Come out and die!”
As the voice sounded, a large silhouette gradually appeared in the rain. The silhouette was that of a black shark floating in the air. It was a few hundred feet long, about the same size as SongZhong’s flying boat. Standing on the head of the shark, there was an unclothed, super muscular man.
The reason why he is called a super muscular man was because his physique was too sublime. He was almost 20 feet tall and had black scales all over his whole body. His arm was as thick as an ordinary person’s waist and his legs were similar to the size of a water jar. SongZhong can already be considered to be the buffest person within humanity. But compared to this new fellow, SongZhong looked like a little child.
The facial features of this person were not entirely that of human’s, as there were still some facial features redolent of a shark’s. Especially his large jaw and the neatly-arranged, sharp, pointy teeth within, making him look like a death reaper.
Actually, the reason why he looked like that was not because he was a weirdo. It was because he had yet to complete his human transformation. As a top tier 5th grade demonic beast, the Black Shark King was on the verge of being able to transform into a human, but still, he should not have been able to transform into a human. As serendipity had it, he ate a rare herb found on the seabed and had his spiritual wisdom unlocked precociously, and so he started his transformation prematurely. Because his cultivation was lacking, he was unable to a.s.sume a full-human appearance like the Lightning Eagle King. Hence, his weird appearance.
Seeing how the legendary Black Shark King looked, everyone including SongZhong, were all startled. Dan QingZi then whispered softly to SongZhong, “Dear nephew, do not just pay heed to him, you have to notice the surrounding as well. It is said that his Ten Thousand Miles Downpour Formation is able to conceal his subordinates! Furthermore, it grants them flight as well! We are definitely surrounded and you must be aware of ambushes!”
As SongZhong heard that, he was shocked. He extended his spiritual sense out and could vaguely sense countless black shadows in the thunderstorm. Only now did he know that the amba.s.sadors of the Eastern Ocean Surveillance Corps were all extremely strong. The Ten Thousand Miles Downpour Formation of the Black Shark King is just too perverse! It would be fine if it is just able to conceal his subordinates, but it could also grant them flight! That is just far too perverse!
Thankfully, there was an elder here today. If not, he would definitely suffer a great loss today. After having a better understanding of the situation, SongZhong broke out in cold sweat as he said to Dan QingZi, “Thanks to senior uncle for your reminder, this nephew here almost fell for his trap!”
Dan QingZi smiled and wanted to respond. But the Black Shark King was getting impatient and he roared, “Dammit, I am looking for SongZhong, where is that b.a.s.t.a.r.d? Ask him to come out and accept his death!”
Seeing how frustrated the Black Shark King was, Dan QingZi kept his mouth shut. His injuries were severe and he possessed not even 10% of his usual battle prowess. He is nothing more than a burden and could only observe the ongoings.
As for SongZhong, he frowned and flew a distance forward before saying haughtily, “I am SongZhong, I wonder what the esteemed Black Shark King wants?”
“Haha, so you are SongZhong! I have been looking for you for so many days!”
“Eh? We have not seen each other before, I wonder why are you looking for me?”
“HAHA! I am here to borrow something from you! If you are willing to lend it to me, I may release all of you!”
“Oh? I wonder what the Black Shark King needs?”
“It’s simple, I want your head!” The Black Shark King smiled.
As SongZhong heard that, he was almost angered to death and said, “It isn’t so easy to take my head.”
“I will still take it even if it isn’t easy because my wife wants it!” The Black Shark King replied.
“Eh? I wonder who is your wife?”
“She is the renowned Lightning Eagle King, Lei Shan’er!” The Black Shark King said with delight.
“That’s not right? I remember that the Lightning Eagle King was still single. I have never heard of her being attached.” As he said that, he looked towards Dan QingZi incredulously.
