Chapter 259: Lopping Off the Fish’s Head

The sea waves churned, bringing along a fishy and salty sea breeze.

On a boat in that lonely world, Lian Fu placed his hand behind his back as his white hair got tousled. The pupils of his eyes landed on Ji Chengyu, who was on top of the large vessel.

”Long time no see, Chief Chamberlain Lian. How have you been?” Both gazed at each other for quite some time before Ji Chengyu eventually opened his mouth and spoke, his serene greetings echoing within that world.

Lian Fu pursed up his lips and tilted his head as he looked at Ji Chengyu. Within the sharpness of his voice, there were traces of hoarseness.

”King Yu, ah, King Yu… When you made a mistake and the previous emperor punished you to watch over the emperor's tomb, the reason he had allowed you to preserve your life was because you were his kin. You should have just watched over the emperor's tomb and fulfilled a bit of filial piety as a son. Why did you choose to run out of the emperor's tomb? Because of that, I'm now stuck in a very difficult situation.”

At the rear of the boat, as usual, towering torrential waves surged up violently, constantly surging and churning. The speed it pushed the small boat continued to increase.

Thereafter, it only took an instant for it to still. The small boat Lian Fu was standing on came to a stop.

”Sealing my cultivation level and taking away my monarch title... What a good father of mine. I also wish to fulfill my filial duty, but I do not want to sweep the emperor's tomb like a defeated dog.” Ji Chengyu's gaze was like electricity as he looked straight at Lian Fu. He took a step forward and brought one of his legs onto the vessel's edge as he sneered.

Within his gaze, there were fanatical desires, ”I, Ji Chengyu, whether in capability or cultivation, am a lot stronger than Ji Chengxue. The one who should be inheriting the title of emperor should be me. Why was it bestowed onto my third brother, that wretch, instead?! Which part of me is inferior to him?

”I am not convinced. If father wanted me to be convinced, he should have turned me into a complete cripple. But he didn't,” Ji Chengyu said.

Lian Fu sighed. He had always known of the anger that was restrained within Ji Chengyu's heart. Even at the most challenging times when he got sent away to sweep the emperor's tomb, his eyes were like stagnated water, but Lian Fu was able to feel the unrelenting flames in Ji Chengyu's heart.

”But you've went against the late emperor's order. Just like before, this lowly servant can only bring you back.” Lian Fu's sharp voice was tinged with hoarseness.

”I know... Chief Chamberlain Lian's objective is to bring me back to the emperor's tomb and make me face those ice-cold tombstones once more. But what if I don't want to? What will you do then?”

Ji Chengyu crossed his arms against his chest and looked at Lian Fu arrogantly. Within his eyes, there were traces of a challenge and fervor.

Lian Fu focused his gaze. He raised a hand and pinched his middle finger and thumb together.

”Then I can only beat you up to the point you will be unable to move and then carry you back.”

...

The echoing yell in Southern City caused those Battle-Emperors who were still immersed in Bu Fang's prowess to immediately sober up.

”Shit! This animal is going berserk again!”

One of the Battle-Emperor expert's heart shuddered and yelled with some alarm.

Whenever this animal went berserk, it would attack the Southern City gate unceasingly. This was something they were extremely puzzled about. But at this very moment, this animal had actually gone berserk again!

Bu Fang focused his gaze to the far distance outside of Southern City. Perhaps the reason those Battle-Emperors did not discover any clue about it was because they were all shocked by Bu Fang's method. But Bu Fang had all the while been paying attention to this big fat fish... er, demonic fish. Therefore, he was very clear about what had happened just now.

That lacerating black arrow, which had tore through the horizon, pierced the back of the Demonic Fish, causing it to fly into a rage once again.

”So, all of this was caused by someone else.” Bu Fang narrowed his eyes as the corner of his mouth curled up.

Bu Fang was contemplating about how such a big-headed fat fish appeared in Southern City Dragon River noiselessly and without any reason...

The fear the berserk Demonic Fish had to the draconic might of the Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife was greatly decreased. It yelled with a mouth that was filled with sharp teeth. It brought forth a pungent fishy wind as its scarlet eyes glared at the Bu Fang, who was holding onto the kitchen knife that blossomed with a golden brilliance, its tyrannical look prominent.

Boom!!

The stump of the large claw that was cut off smacked the ground ferociously. Unexpectedly, this demonic fish was ramming towards Bu Fang in a speed that was as quick as lightning.

The hearts of numerous Battle-Emperors shuddered. They felt a burst of fearful oppression.

Bu Fang's complexion was calm as he looked at the big fish. There was not even a sign of panic.

With the impending collision, the Demonic Fish that seemed to want to bite him into pieces was magnified continuously in his eyes.

However... Bu Fang's figure abruptly disappeared from his spot as he agily leaped up and landed on top of the fish's head.

The seventh grade spiritual beast itself, possessed a terrifying pressure. This oppression possessed a natural suppressive force towards a Battle-Emperor or a sixth grade spirit beast. However, Bu Fang was not at all affected by the influence of this oppression. As before, he was able to operate without obstruction. On the contrary, it was the Demonic Fish that was being suppressed by his draconic might.

Therefore, in spite of all that, he was still not afraid of this Demonic Fish despite not being at the level of a Battle-saint.

Bu Fang somersaulted in the air as he swung the Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife down. The Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife was a semi-divine tool and was extremely sharp. The Burst-Dragon Demonic Fish's scales did not have even the slightest degree of resistance against the weapon.

Just like paper mache, it got hacked to pieces by Bu Fang. The Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife entered the flesh of the Demonic Fish as its blood started to splatter.

The demonic fish frantically trembled for a while as the fish scales on its body opened up.

”What a fat fish. Seventh grade spirit beast meat should not disappoint anyone, right?” Bu Fang murmured, with the corners of his mouth curling up.

Thereafter, he exhaled a long breath as his gaze focused slightly. While holding onto the knife handle, he unexpectedly started to sprint on the back of the fish.

Bu Fang moved rapidly while still expressionless. His white gown sleeve whirled and his hair fluttered.

Rip tug tug!

There was a crashing sound. Along with Bu Fang's wild running, blood splattered unceasingly along the wound. The demonic fish started to wail as it got even more frantic and violently thrashed its body even harder.
