Ink Toad King’s true form was the Disaster-class Stranger, the Frigid Day Ink Toad. Usually born in the far north where it was cold and bitter, it was one of the coldest and most yin Strangers in the world. The Frigid Day Black Water contained inside its body could freeze anything and everything. The particularly powerful ones could even freeze space and time itself. It was exceedingly dangerous to say the least.
It was at this moment the man brandishing a saber and stroking his horse next to Fang Muyun suddenly frowned and bowed his head. At the same time, unbridled bloodthirst flashed in his eyes.
If a Bodhisattva’s eyebrows are furrowed, Vajrapanis glare with anger.
If I bow my head, the heavens break, and the earth is torn asunder.
The moment the sabersman bowed his head, sounds of breaking began appearing in the sky and under the earth. A breeze started, and the clouds began moving again as if the world had regained its vitality.
“Look down, and evils die.
One swing, and eternal peace is restored.”
The next moment, the sabersman swung his saber downward.
There was no technique, no magic, not even a change in direction. It was a plain and basic vertical slash.
It was enough. The frozen sea shattered into countless fragments. The Frigid Day Black Water and the Ink Toad King himself were blasted to the bottom of the sea, his black blood dyeing the sea red.
While the sabersman was swinging his saber, the woman riding a dragonsnake met the Shark General head on. She threw a punch at the descending Ghost God Square Sky Halberd.
The punch was just an ordinary punch, and yet it was this punch that shattered the hundred ghosts parading the night, split the sky from bottom to top, and smashed against the Ghost God Square Sky Halberd.
THANG!!!
There was a metallic clang that sounded like the bell of dawn or the evening gong, waking everyone in heaven and earth from their slumber.
The next moment, the woman clenched her fist and pushed an inch forward. Amazingly, it was the Ghost God Square Sky Halberd that was pushed backward.
Having created an opening entirely through her own power, the woman did not hesitate to appear in front of the Shark General and punched him on the forehead.
Shark General was the Powerful Demonic Shark, a Disaster-class Stranger. He was famous for his strength and could move mountains and fill seas easily after manifesting his true form.
In comparison, the woman might as well be an ant trying to topple a tree. Even if they were the same size, Shark General would still be way bigger and taller than her.
“What is there to fear in giving your all to exchange for a clear, bright world?”
Suddenly, a poem recitation appeared from somewhere, cutting through even the draconic roar and the endless rumbling of thunder.
Before the voice could fade, a man appeared in front of Fang Muyun. His face was thin, but his eyes resembled bright stars. He wielded a sword that was dripping blood from the edge. It looked like it would dye the sky red.
The next moment, the man swung his sword. The flashing lightning and rumbling thunder vanished into nothing just like that.
“For the sake of granting humanity eternal peace, I offer my blood to forge a blue sky...”
Another voice came, and another person appeared out of seemingly nowhere. He was wearing a tall hat and a wide belt. He was carrying bamboo slips that unfurled to reveal text that were written in blood. The bloody words transformed into chains and wrapped around Long Ao’s draconic body immediately.
Long Ao roared and struggled, but he was unable to break free immediately.
While the bloody text kept Long Ao shackled, a third person manifested into view.
His countenance was ordinary, but he was muscular and imposing in stature. Just the slow turn of his head was enough to strike terror and wariness into one’s heart.
When the man saw the shackled dragon that was Long Ao, he barked out a laugh and said, “The beautiful mountains and rivers remain strong for many millennia, for the heroic spirits of humanity are there to reinforce it!”
He threw a punch, and it was like a painting was unfurled. Countless human heroes rushed forward to do battle against the Strangers and evils. Their blood and corpses eventually forged an unbreakable realm and ushered the world into a new era.
BOOM!
Such was the man’s punch that Long Ao’s horn snapped and spilled blood everywhere. The dragon could not help but cry out in pain.
Covered in draconic blood, the man only grew even more intrepid. Barking out another laugh, he punched down on Long Ao’s head and pushed him all the way to White Fish Island. The poor island immediately split into many pieces and became soaked in seawater.
“Fang Muyun! I will rip you into a million pieces!”
A resentful, furious roar cut through the air as Long Ao’s true body swelled another couple thousand meters and finally shattered the chain of words trapping him. Then, he swung his tail and sent the swordsman flying. Then, while empowering himself with wind and thunder—the wind enhancing the thunder’s might, and the thunder turning the wind deadly—he clashed against the book wielder and the ordinary yet imposing man.
For a time, the wind howled, the thunder rumbled, the sword qi froze, and the dragon roared on White Fish Island. It was like the end of the world.
