Chapter 440: I Accidentally Stabbed You
Outside the Southern Sky Gate.
The Demons and the Immortals headed out. They left on their clouds after saying their farewells to the soldiers.
The Underworld was quite busy. Black and White Impermanence, as well as Ox-Head and Horse-Face, left without delay.
Juling Shen followed Blackie with a humble attitude. He respectfully sent Blackie off at the Southern Sky Gate.
Before the feast, he recklessly called Blackie an ordinary dog. Blackie did not say anything but it was discriminatory. Blackie did not like that at all.
‘Do you know who I am? I’m Blackie, the Dog of the expert!’
Especially after the feast, the expert highlighted how extraordinary he was.
The expert called himself ordinary but…the food he ate, even the air he breathed, were all extraordinary. You could say that the things the expert did not care much for, were all treasures and breakthroughs to them.
‘I initially had big plans on bootlicking. However, I accidentally offended the dog expert because of my ignorance. If the dog said something bad about me to the expert, how can I ever be successful again?’
Therefore, he freaked out. He tried his best to please Blackie and followed Blackie around. He tried to bond with him by escorting Blackie everywhere.
A lot of people left in groups. They chatted happily.
The Kunpeng soup healed their injuries. They were shocked but at the same time, they were overjoyed. They felt indescribably nice. They felt like they were at their primes.
It still felt like a dream, an unimaginable dream.
“Such a blessing and a gift. This is truly the first time I’ve ever experienced something like that. The Lord Saint’s too good to us!”
“The life before meeting the Lord Saint wasn’t a complete life.”
“I thought that the Lord Saint was extremely incredible for unsealing us, rebuilding the Heavenly Palace, and blessing us with Deluxe Merit. But I was too naïve. Turns out…all of it was just the casual help of the Lord Saint…”
“Our weakness limited our imagination.”
“Most importantly, he’s so powerful but he hid his capabilities. He’s willing to live among us insects. Only the expert can do that. So respectable.”
“We naturally don’t understand the viewpoint of a bigshot.”
“Ha. This is nothing, alright? You guys don’t know how great the expert is.”
Lu Yue was among them. He looked passionate as he said with respect, “Every casual word of the expert becomes the Basic of Wisdom. We spent our whole lives trying to reach his level. Do you know what it is? I do! The Lord Saint taught me so casually!”
He gradually became excited. He was more proud and devoted.
The meal also upgraded him from a Taiyi Golden Immortal to a Daluo Golden Immortal. However, he was not surprised at all. Matter of fact, it was all in his expectations.
He did not know the expert for a long time but he could tell that every act of the expert was marvelous. It was far more superior to him working hard on cultivation.
Back then, he worked hard and stumbled. Every improvement he achieved would make him happy for an entire day. He was at peace. His past self had no clue of the vast realm!
‘You’re able to improve from eating a meal. Can you believe it?’
He was no longer a peasant.
Lu Yue instantly felt like he had an epiphany.
Suddenly, Ao Yun approached them with a smile. He smiled and nodded at everyone. He saluted and said, “Cultivators, please, allow me to perform for you. Check out my Dragon claw and Dragon tail!”
Then, he cast a spell. His severed arm and tail started to grow.
He looked at his familiar arm and tail. He cautiously tried to make a fist and wiggled his tail. Ao Yun instantly burst out in tears. He excitedly said, “Welcome back, old friends.”
Everyone immediately clapped and congratulated him. They looked amazed.
They could feel how Ao Yun felt at the moment. Most of them had gone through big battles and tribulations. A lot of them were affected by battles. For example, the Plague God, Lu Yue. His Primordial Spirit was damaged. A lot of cultivators were lost because they had no breakthroughs anymore. However, they were saved by the soup.
“Ha. What are you all so touched for? You need to be thanking me instead!”
The canary that became an eagle stood nearby. Lord Kunpeng arrogantly looked at the emotional bunch. He asked proudly, “My meat’s nice, right? Yeesh, without noticing it, my body instantly became so expensive.”
Suddenly, a sudden force appeared in the sky. The extremely horrifying power made them jolt. Their hair stood on ends as they froze.
Then, a black figure fell from the sky at high speed. It crashed into the ground with a ‘boom’.
Three Golden Lotus Leaves were spinning around the black figure. A powerful aura was emitted. She was on the ground but it was still frightening.
Splash!
Nine fire pillars fell from the sky, trapping everyone in a circle. The fire pillars started to spiral and connect as soon as they touched the ground. They linked up and formed an enclosed circle.
The scrawny elder held the Pellet Drum in his left hand and the Crystal Spear in his right. He slowly appeared and glanced at everyone menacingly.
Finally, he scoffed, “Such a weak realm. My place to shine.”
The Mosquito Taoist slowly stood up and said sternly, “He doesn’t belong in this realm. We need to fight him together!”
‘Doesn’t belong in this realm?’
Everyone was taken aback. Juling Shen did not think before he spoke. It was part of his nature. He exclaimed without a second thought, “How dare you?! Where did this Demon come from? How dare you cause a scene at the Heavenly Palace? Why don’t you hurry up and kneel? Beg for forgiveness.”
“Is this the threat of an insect?”
The scrawny elder did not even look at Juling Shen. He lifted the Crystal Spear and simply pointed it at Juling Shen.
The Power of Law beamed at the tip of the spear. The laser that came out of it was horrifying.
Juling Shen did not dare to move at that attack. He went pale and cold. He did not resist because at that moment, he was prepared to die. He was thinking of how to talk to the staff of the Underworld so he could reincarnate well.
“Dog Bowl Defense!”
The Deified Dog was horrified, too, but he was better than Juling Shen who squealed the whole time.
He stomped on the ground and a pink Dog Bowl flew out and spun into a shield.
Sizzle!
It was a shame that the Dog Bowl was not effective at all. The laser knocked it straight off.
Thankfully, the other Immortals snapped out of it. They jolted and immediately fought back. They used their powers and formed a shield in front of Juling Shen, especially Lord Kunpeng and Lu Yue. They were both Daluo Golden Immortals so they were powerful. They were about to risk it all.
They would not be fighting with all their might if it was just Juling Shen. However, the dog of the expert was right next to Juling Shen. They might be dead like Juling Shen if they did not protect Blackie.
‘It’d be awful. What are we going to tell the expert by then?’
They blocked the attack.
However, no one dared to relax. They all looked extremely serious. They did not dare to breathe.
‘His casual attack is only defendable when everyone works together. How powerful is he?’
Everyone had cold sweat on their foreheads.
“That’s…a Saint!”
Lord Kunpeng squinted. He felt heavy because he could feel his past aura from the scrawny elder.
Lord Kunpeng could have fought the elder in the past. However, things were not the same anymore.
“But… No matter what, we have to protect the dog of the expert!”
At that moment, they had a common goal.
They targeted the scrawny elder simultaneously. They looked ready to protect Blackie.
The scrawny elder was surprised. He looked at Juling Shen. He clearly misunderstood the situation. He smiled coldly and said, “Yo, looks like this buff guy’s important. So many of you are trying to protect him.”
Lord Kunpeng shouted, “Mosquito Taoist, let’s work together to survive!”
Mosquito Taoist looked at Lord Kunpeng. She looked puzzled. She asked weirdly, “You know me?”
Lord Kunpeng replied, “Duh, I’m Kunpeng.”
Mosquito Taoist said with confidence, “You dare call yourself Kunpeng when you are just a small eagle? Seems like only an ordinary man can be so shameless.”
‘If you’re Kunpeng, you won’t have any trouble at all.’
“Work together? What a ridiculous idea. A bunch of united ants are still ants.”
The scrawny elder sneered. He rattled his Pellet Drum.
Boom.
Drum sounds instantly rippled out like waves and attacked everyone.
At that moment, everyone felt heavy. They felt as if their Primordial Spirits were entrapped. They felt unimaginable exhaustion. They could not even cast spells at all.
They became resistless.
In the eyes of the elder, they were just a bunch of insects that he could easily step on. He did not need to pay attention to them. He looked at Mosquito Taoist again. He lifted his Crystal Spear and attacked Mosquito Taoist.
Mosquito Taoist cast a quick spell and poured all her powers into the Golden Lotus Leaves. They merged into one big Golden Lotus Leaf and wrapped her up.
Cling!
The spear was at a standstill with the lotus leaf. The aura was getting tense. The nearby Immortals spat out blood.
Mosquito Taoist looked at Lord Kunpeng who was dying. She had to pout as she internally cursed at the eagle.
‘You called yourself Kunpeng a second ago and now you can’t handle it. Are you here for laughs?’
She looked serious. She glanced at the fire pillars and felt uneasy. She was unsure if she would make it out or not.
‘I don’t care anymore. Time to escape!’
She spread her wings and turned to black mist. She started to flee!
Zoom!
The Crystal Spear followed her closely. The two of them kept changing their locations inside the fire pillar cage. Mosquito Taoist could only move around the edge of the fire pillars. She could not break through the cage.
She was gradually in despair.
The others were also in despair. They all looked weak.
Their Primordial Spirits were trapped so it was hard to move. They could only watch as Mosquito Taoist played tag and chase with the Crystal Spear.
One could imagine how it felt not being able to move, yet trapped with two people wielding big weapons, fighting back and forth.
Every time Mosquito Taoist leaped, their hearts leaped with her. They were worried that if the Crystal Spear missed her, it would accidentally pierce them, too.
It was like dancing with Death. How thrilling.
‘That’s the spear of a Saint. One pierce and I’ll surely be goners.’
‘Bigshots, please, relax. Don’t hurt the innocent…’
The scrawny elder chuckled coldly like a cat teasing a mouse. “Let’s see how long you can dodge my attacks!”
He moved his fingers and manipulated the spear.
Mosquito Taoist was frantic. She turned into black mist again and disappeared. The spear followed and quickly made a turn. It was extremely fast. It stabbed Blackie’s butt.
Silence!
It was like time froze.
Mosquito Taoist stopped and could temporarily take a breather.
The scrawny elder realized something was off.
The others were horrified with wide eyes. They were extremely frantic.
“No!” they yelled. They felt a coldness in their hearts and a chill going down their spines.
However, the tragedy did not happen as expected.
Blackie was still standing on the ground. Blackie frowned and looked displeased.
Almost as if… Blackie was suddenly interrupted while he was enjoying the show. Blackie was not happy at that.
Confused, Blackie touched his butt and pulled out the spear. He asked calmly, “Who just stabbed me?”
‘Is he…alright?’
Everyone was stumped. Their minds went blank with shock and confusion.
“This…this…”
The scrawny elder’s eyes almost popped out from staring too hard. He was in disbelief. Then, he was horrified. It made his skin crawl. He had goosebumps and he could not speak.
He was utterly confident in his spear. The spear was a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, the destruction from its attack was undeniable. A situation like that could only prove one fact, an extremely horrifying fact!
Blackie calmly looked at him. “You stabbed me?”
“I—I—I…”
The scrawny elder was not arrogant anymore. He jolted at how Blackie looked. He gulped and stepped back slowly. He forced himself to say, “No, I didn’t do it on purpose. It was an accident…”
‘How’s this possible?
‘What kind of dog is that?
‘How can a dog like that exist in such a lousy realm?!’
“Oh.”
Blackie nodded and shot the spear back at him like a dart. The spear simply shot toward the elder.
The speed was way too fast. It was undetectable. The elder was horrified. He did not even have time to react before he felt a stinging pain in his chest.
Spurt!
The spear pierced right through the chest of the elder!
“Oops, sorry. I, too, accidentally stabbed you…”
