Chapter 18 Are You a Dragon King? (1/2)
Zhang Chi Hang flipped his hand, turning the kalasa upside down. That lump of black aura fell onto the ground and slowly rotated, gradually turning into a human, one that had two horns on his head and was extremely handsome. I might not know other demons, but this one was pretty familiar, because his species always shew up on TV.
“Are you a Dragon King?” I said “a” not “the” Dragon King since there were so many of them on TV, even in a well. I had no idea where he came from, so I could only call it that.
The black guy looked at me and smiled shyly, as if he didn't know he had done anything wrong.
”You little worm,” Zhang Chi Hang carried a willow branch in his left hand and a kalasa in his right, showing a solemn appearance. Only then did the black dragon see him and immediately get scared off his shits. He trembled like a sieve, kneeled on the ground, and kowtowed hard, “your Mighty, please forgive me for not knowing or dodging your presence!”
Was Zhang Chi Hang that scary? This Black Dragon was, after all, a person who had stirred up the wind and rain just a moment ago, but now it was as cowardly as that.
“Not dodging my presence? You really know how to avoid important matters. “Zhang Chi Hang let out a light snort, and shook his right hand gently. Then the black dragon, as if he was hit by a thunderbolt in the clear sky, immediately dropped onto the ground, as though his entire body had been pressed into a pancake by an extremely heavy, invisible object. “Let me ask, why did you harm people in the plane? Do you want to become a dish for some people on a table as soon as possible? ”
“Absolutely not!” The little dragon was suppressed to the point where he couldn't breathe, but after hearing Zhang Chi Hang's words, he was no longer afraid, and his tone became much calmer, “there must be a misunderstanding, your Mighty. Please allow me to explain.”
”Alright,” Zhang Chi Hang noticed the variation in his tone, then and frowned in thought. Somehow, that extremely heavy object seemed to have disappeared, and the black dragon's body returned to normal from the pancake. He got up, panting and feeling relieved, but not daring to stand, so it kneeled on the ground and spoke, “your Mighty, as you know, after the Five Four Immortal Granting Ceremony, we dragon race could not cultivate any more, and our donations come intermittently. I can only live on the little bit of donation from mortals as their faith.”
”It's the same for everyone. That’s the pattern of the great Tao, are you trying to go against it?” Zhang Chi Hang waved his hand.
“No, absolutely not!” Hearing Zhang Chi Hang’s tone altered, the black dragon immediately kowtowed, “bakc in the years, fortunately, Saint Zhou was merciful and made a rule that we must not hurt souls of humans, but can eat floating spirits or demons that have no host.”
“I’ve also heard of that. Since the human way is flourishing, Saint Zhou did it to comply with the will of heaven and leave you a way out.” Zhang Chi Hang nodded his head, “thanks to it, the number of demons that are wreaking havoc has dwindled for recent years, which is why the human way are flourishing.”
”Yes,” the black dragon hurriedly continued after seeing Zhang Chi Hang nodding his head, “since the human way has flourished, I also act in accordance with the heaven's will. Today when I was making rains, I suddenly saw a plane flying into the clouds. As your Mighty also know, the sacred art I apply in raincloud will inevitably affect the normal operation of planes. In order to ensure everyone's safety, I was going to cast a spell to remove the plane from the cloud, but then I found demon souls in the plane, so I planned to snatch the souls and eat them later. I made thunders only because I was worried that the soul would escape the plane. However, I was caught by your Mighty before I snatch those demon souls out.”
”Nonsense!” Zhang Chi Hang ignored everyone else as he spouted out the word, ”the plane are filled with human, so it must be rich of Yang Qi. Ordinary demons would not even dare to ride on it. Beside, with your cultivation, you are not able to subdue monsters that are not even afraid of thunders. How would you dare to snatch them?”
“I dare not to lie. Those demon souls aren't strong, but they are indeed inside the plane. This is the trace of demon soul I pulled out in the last moment. Your Mighty has a good judgement. You will never take me wrong.” The black dragon flipped his hand and shew a trace of light. Zhang Chi Hang took a glance at it, then his expression became strange. Just as he was about to say something to us, he glanced at the black dragon, and said, ”even so, your conduct made hundreds of men unsettled, so I must punish you. You must chop bamboo on my mountain without mistake.”
“You’re Mighty, I am wrongly accused —”
