Chapter 321: The Gorb Demon (1/2)

The South Sea Gourmet!

Even Xue Daozi couldn’t help the shudder that ran down his spine. He’d heard of the name before as well, but just never had the chance to meet the personage in the flesh.

Of course, if he had, he’d most likely be resting in the Gourmet’s stomach by now.

However,  he quickly recalled his new identity, and the terror on his face vanished without a trace.

……

“Hehehe, I didn’t expect to see so much delicious foodstuffs gathered here.” All smiles, the South Sea Gourmet sized up the crowd on the Divine Glory’s deck. “A divine octopus with an ancient bloodline, a silverbrow whale, and a pure-blooded xiangliu. There’s even a skydragon, a demon dragon…. Tsk tsk tsk, there’s even a kunpeng! And what’s that? An unknown dragon breed….”

The meatball’s eyes narrowed into slits, sparing no one on the ship his scrutiny. “Fox meat doesn’t taste good, so forget that. I should dice all this delicious meat together and make a stew out of them….” His drool was about to hit the ground.

Supposedly fearing nothing beneath the heavens or atop the earth, the troublemakers on the ship were shaking and ashen, the dread in their eyes plain for all to see.

No one had ever escaped from the South Sea Gourmet’s clutches once he’d set his sights on them. Rumor had it that he’d even once chopped up a monster spirit prince from the Truewater clan in one of the ten lands and made a stew from the meat.

“Little fellows, don’t you worry ‘bout a thing. This connoisseur respects the elderly and cherishes the young. I won’t cook you for the time being!” he beamed when he noticed the fear in the four youngsters’ eyes. “You’re not immortals yet. Too tender, too tender! Not chewy enough… I’ll wait for you to become immortals before cooking you!”

He swallowed loudly again and wiped off the saliva bubbling from his lips with a hand.

The four youngsters turned even more pale upon hearing the words that boomed like a death sentence sealing their fates. They were dead without a doubt after ascending to immortality!

The Gourmet’s eyes then landed on Xue Daozi.

“This silverbrow whale, now, he’s already reached the aether dao immortal realm and his flesh has been nourished by nine aether dao fruits. The texture is just right, not too tough and not too tender… paired with the octopus, it’ll make for a delicious meal!” He slid out the cleaver by his hip as he spoke.

“Bastard! Who dares kill a king of my West Sea!” An angry shout ripped through the sky, quickly followed by a man in purple descending from the sky amidst rumbling thunder. When he saw the Octopus King’s corpse floating on the water, his purple eyes almost belched fire.

In response, thunder and lightning raged even more intensely amongst the clouds. The aura emanating from the newcomer wasn’t any weaker than Xue Daozi’s in the slightest. He was, without a doubt, another peak aether dao immortal powerhouse.

“Goodness—” the South Sea Gourmet suddenly shrieked. “A thunder eel! A dao realm thunder eel! With flesh cleansed by celestial lightning, not to mention his dao fruits…. This is a supreme delicacy! Hahahaha. I really haven’t made the trip in vain!

“So… now you can die!” The cleaver in the Gourmet’s hand flared with a dark blade-light that slashed across the sky, making straight for the purple-clad man hovering amidst the lightning.

“What?!” The man jumped in fright. His real form was indeed a thunder eel, but after reaching the dao immortal realm and concealing his nature, even an arcane dao immortal would’ve had trouble discerning the truth.

However, the meatball in front of him had seen through his concealment with a single glance and sent out a terrifying blade light that almost split the sky in two!

As a peak aether dao immortal, he was only one step away from plucking an arcane dao fruit. He only needed to comprehend some of the arcane truths of the universe and harmonize with the world. But he found himself powerless when faced with this blade light, feeling a bizarre sense of only being able to stick out his neck for the butcher’s block.

“You’re the South Sea Gorb Demon!” he suddenly screamed in terror.

Gourmet was merely the moniker the man had given himself. Gorb Demon was his true identifier.

Boom!
