311 Green Fish (2/2)
The priest was appalled, ”The An River is the An River Dragon God's area, if we pass through his area without paying respects, we will be harassed!”
”Harassed?”
Xu Ting laughed and pointed at the warships, ”I have ten thousands of soldiers, hundreds of warships and our troops are so strong! Do you think I am scared of a water dragon? Even if he comes to obstruct us, we will kill him! You think my military law is a joke?”
Although he replied stately, there was something different in his laughter.
It was because he was not the one who came up with this idea. He was reminded by what daoist Qing Xuan and some other daoists recommended.
People dao were strong and self-reliant, they did not have to rely on deities! Furthermore, deities absorbed their fate energy and were detrimental to their progress!
Xu Ting then further added, ”Besides, don't I have the help from all you daoists?”
”Sir, not to worry!”
The daoist priest's face turned ashen while Kong Luo suddenly replied, ”With us, you will be fully protected!”
”With you and other daoists from Xuan Zhen Sect, there's nothing I am afraid of!”
Xu Ting chortled; he had left out the daoist who questioned him at the start.
That daoist's expression turned even worse as Kong Luo could only glance at him with pity.
Kong Luo understood Xu Ting's temperament, he knew this daoist would be shunned and if he was not cautious with his manners again, he would definitely be killed.
”One less competing daoist!” Kong Luo thought.
Kong Luo then sighed as he turned to look at Qing Xuan.
Daoist Qing Xuan worked hard for three years and was gradually favoured again. After all, this was because Xuan Zhen Sect was a powerful and extensive sect, and thus, there were many areas daoist Qing Xuan could help out in.
However, not only did these daoist from Xuan Zhen Sect marginalised others, they were ardently against deities too. This made Kong Luo bewildered.
Suddenly, the crisp noise of a sword rang from his dantian.
”Eh? There's demonic energy spying on us?”
Kong Luo raised his eyebrows and strode to the side of the ship. With a wave of his hand, a few green sword essences plunged into the waters.
”Glub! Glub!”
Streams of bubbles and blood rose to the surface.
The carcasses of a few water guardians and spirits floated to the top.
”Eh, just a few water guardians… not to bother, continue forward!” Xu Ting instructed.
Xu family rose from purging evil gods and their temples, thus, Xu Ting held no regards for the Water God.
The warships ran over the carcasses with no qualms.
...
”Dead, dead, dead…”
Kong Luo did not realise that his sword essence had missed out a fish!
A large green fish had dodged the sword essence by luck. He was utterly astonished and terrified when he saw his companions' carcasses, he then immediately swam for his life and arrived at a water palace.
”Stop! How dare you trespass the Dragon Palace!”
In front of the colossal doors, the two rows of crustacean army immediately hollered.
One of them, named Prawn Thirteen, curiously asked, ”Eh? Aren't you the big green fish under the patrolling water guardian? Where's your general? Do you have anything urgent to report?”
”Dead, dead, dead…”
The big green fish swam around frantically, his spiritual will was in chaos.
”What… this fish is so dense, how could he become a soldier? What an embarrassment to us and the Dragon God!”
A crab general at the side sneered immediately.
”General, please pardon him, although this big green fish seems dense, he is hardworking and he has cultivated really quickly…”
Prawn Thirteen went forward to pacify the big green fish. Finally, the big green fish managed to stammer a few words, ”Dead… dead… so many humans… so many ships! General… is dead…”
”What?”
The crustacean army was surprised and angered, ”Who dares to kill the patrolling water guardian! How insolent! Just wait, I will report this to the Dragon God now!”
”No need!” the voice of a dragon resounded.
A middle-aged man donned in a black crown stepped out and behind him were a group of tortoise guards and shell ladies.
”I know everything that's happening in the river, this Xu Ting, hehe…”
Although he had a human-like appearance, there was a black horn on his head. As he sniggered, his mighty aura spread across the area, causing the crustacean army to immediately kneel on the ground and tremble in unease.
”Dead, dead, dead…”
The big green fish was terrified too, however, he quickly swam away and started swimming in circles.
”This fish…”
The An River Dragon God was surprised at such too, ”Although he is unintelligent, his loyalty and bravery are commendable!”
The Dragon God pointed his finger and a beam of golden light landed on the big green fish's body.
The big green fish stumbled on the ground and transformed into a strong man. He had green clothes on his body, thick brows, large eyes and an honest looking appearance.
The nearby soldiers were envious of him.
The Dragon God's transformation technique was naturally different from that of water guardian.
Normal transformation techniques merely gave life, the demons formed were disabled and their spiritual awareness was incapacitated.
Whereas the Dragon God's transformation techniques had no repercussion, instead, it increased their intelligence and their bodies would not be deformed. It was a benevolent gift bestowed by the Dragon God.
