Chapter 51 - Taking the Sea of Heart by Force (2/2)

He stood on the shoreline and cleared his throat. He then stared at the creature, pointed at the blue gemstones in its clutch, and entreated, “Mr. Creature, do you mind handing that stone in your hand over to me? Pretty please?”

As if it could understand his words, the creature raised its spiritless, green eyes at him before looking down at the two gemstones. With a slight raise of its hand, it tossed the gemstones in its mouth and crunched noisily on them.

Fuck you! What the hell is that supposed to mean?! Jiang Xiaofan fumed with anger.

He looked back and helplessly shook his head at her who then shook her head in response. Jiang Xiaofan complied again and focused his attention on a different creature. However, this creature’s move was even swifter and more direct than the last one. Before Jiang Xiaofan could even ask, it threw the gemstone in its mouth and swallowed it whole.

Damn you! You don’t like it easy, huh? Fine then! We’ll do this the hard way!

Jiang Xiaofan was currently in a terrible mood. He looked for a less-populated area, quietly pulled out his Celestial Demon Sword, and sneaked over. Correct, his goal was to take the Sea of Heart by force with the least resistance.

Behind him were the cultivators who looked at him with their mouths agape.

“What’s that man trying to do? He’s not thinking of stealing it from them, is he?”

“Appears to be so!”

“Shit! What do you mean by ‘appears to be so’? He’s doing it for real!”

From afar, the cultivators stood with their eyes widened in incredulity. Just how fearless is this person?! How can he dare to steal the Sea of Heart right in the faces of all those creatures?! That’s like snatching food right from the jaws of a tiger! Amazing!

Under the cultivators’ watchful eyes, Jiang Xiaofan *woosh* darted forward like an arrow. He then quickly picked up the creature and hurled it onto the shore.

Phew! Mission accomplished!

He then used his Phantom Steps to dash back to the shoreline before the other creatures could swarm on him. Jiang Xiaofan inwardly laughed aloud. Ahahaha! I did it! Easy job! Sea of Heart, eh? No problem for me!

Unfortunately, what had immediately followed after left Jiang Xiaofan in great exasperation. The creature that he had hurled onto the shore immediately threw the Sea of Heart in its mouth, chomped on it, and gulped it down.

In a fit of rage, Jiang Xiaofan lunged at the creature, grabbed the creature by the throat, and violently shook it. “Fuck you, you little shit! Spit it back out! Wait, no. Return the gemstone to me in one piece!”

*Hah*

The creature abruptly ejected a burst of black smoke. Its body began to decay, and a foul stench permeated the air. Caught off guard, Jiang Xiaofan leaped backward and zipped to a safer area.

After about ten seconds, the creature that had once been alive now became a pile of dust. With a blow of the wind, the dust flew into the sky and vanished without a trace.

Some of the cultivators were stunned by what had transpired. Even Ye Yuanxue ran over to take a closer inspection.

“It seems that these creatures aren’t being trapped at the coastline. Rather, they don’t dare to venture any further in or out,” Jiang Xiaofan mumbled. This seed of suspicion germinated in his mind. Is it the problem of the island or of the sea? The tidal waves are unable to move past the coastline. The creatures also cannot step beyond it either. Otherwise, they will turn to dust.

However, he was too lazy to contemplate on this issue any deeper. He nodded at Ye Yuanxue and gestured her to move away from the shoreline because he had targeted another creature. Jiang Xiaofan believed that there should be no errors this time and he would finally be able to fetch the Sea of Heart.

He knitted his brows at the sight of the faint grey aura surrounding the creatures’ bodies. With a strategy in mind, he picked up a stone and aimed for the less-populated area once again.

*Fwoosh*

Activating the power of his Buddhist Sutra, he transformed into a streak of his light, channeled his spiritual energy into the stone, drew back his arm, and flung it into the mouth of the creature.

“Urgh….

Once the stone had entered its body, the creature released a bellow of excruciating pain. The Sea of Heart suddenly glimmered a soft blue as the creature lifted it up in preparation to eat it.

Around this time, the creatures from other areas discovered the ongoing commotion. With a roar, they rushed to where Jiang Xiaofan was at. He could clearly see the expression of those closest to him. Their spiritless eyes now flashed with savagery as they charged at him.

“Perverted Wolf, be careful!”

Ye Yuanxue vocally cautioned him while Little One chirped loudly. Even the cultivators from far away broke into a sweat as they watched in horror at the scene before them. Some even gulped with uneasiness.
