Chapter 321: The Gorb Demon (2/2)
Lightning zigzagged across the sky right at that instant, highlighting the backdrop behind a tremendous eel that extended five kilometers above.
Four slim dragon claws extended from the bottom of the creature, and two immature dragon horns sprouted from the top of its head. Obviously possessing a dragon bloodline, the giant eel had opted to discard the form of a fish and go for a dragon.
Strangely enough, the Gorb Demon’s attack hadn’t inflicted material injuries, but had instead forced him to reveal his true form.
“Die!” The meatball roared as his cleaver glowed once again. Blade light several hundred meters long landed mercilessly on the eel’s neck, separating head from body and splashing purple blood tinged with lightning all over the sea.
A peak aether dao immortal eel, hacked to death in two simple attacks! [1]
“Hahaha—this trip just keeps on giving!” The Gorb Demon brayed with laughter before looking back at Xue Daozi, baring his white teeth in a wide grin. “Your turn now. ...hmm? What’s that?”
He stiffened as vast, white brilliance coalescing at lightning speed hinted in the corner of his eye. Subconsciously twisting his head backward, he saw a magnificent, awe-inspiring ship posturing threateningly.
Boom!
A white pillar of light spewed from the ship’s bow and ruthlessly blasted into him.
“You fucker!! An immortal weapon of war!!” he shrieked as the white column swallowed his figure. “Ahhhhhhh—” came mournful wails from inside the column of light.
Throughout the duration of the attack, the giant thunder eel and dead octopus had somehow vanished without a trace.
“Hehehe—you four little fellows, and you, kunpeng, and also you, unknown dragon. Oh, and let’s not forget you either, silverbrow whale. I’ll remember you all!! Wash yourself nice and clean and wait for this connoisseur to come feast on you!” The Gorb Demon’s voice came from far away.
Plop!
The Deaf Prince flopped bonelessly on the deck, gasping for dear life. “Good grief, to think I’d meet the rumored Gorb Demon in person and even manage to survive the encounter….” His forehead was drenched in cold sweat.
“He said he’d come to eat us after we’ve ascended to immortality,” Jing Dichen transmitted to the Deaf Prince, her small face deathly pale.
“What?!” The prince jumped out of his skin. “In that case, I’ll never become an immortal!”
“Relax.” Lu Yun arrived beside them. With a gentle pat of his hand, the Deaf Prince’s flesh and bones began changing, transforming him into someone else with another aura entirely.
“Eh? What’s going on?” The change struck the group speechless. If not for the transformation taking place right beneath their noses, they never would’ve believed it to be the same person.
The Deaf Prince himself froze with shock.
Merging death arts with his expertise in talismans, Lu Yun had infused the art of Shapeshifting with the dao of talisman. Therefore, sticking this particular talisman on someone was equivalent to using Shapeshifting on them.
Shapeshifting was a death art that could genuinely transform someone’s flesh and bones, an ability that approached the power of creation itself. But he didn’t mention anything and offered a type of transformation talisman as the only explanation.
“Since this Gorb Demon’s come to the North Sea, I’ll find a way to have him killed.” The meatball gave Lu Yun a very familiar feeling, but he couldn’t put his finger on the exact reason why at the moment.
Divine Glory’s main cannon wasn’t a true immortal siege weapon, but it’d been enough to harm the demon. This was proof that, though formidable, the Gourmet’s strength had its limits.
1. Wtf, that was… easy?!
