Chapter 734: Stinky Duck Is Floating

“On account of Grandpa Duck Emperor, you better hurry and scram. Otherwise, Grandpa Duck Emperor will break all your arms and legs, and trap your spirits in the ninth level of hell so that you will neither live or die. Do you see that? That is the ending you will get for offending Grandpa Duck Emperor!” Duck Emperor used the same words he used to scare Xiao Luo back in the Chaotic Space to frighten the Black Blood Mercenary Corps members, then pointed at the three corpses at the side.

It was Black Dog and the others?

As soon as these Black Blood Mercenary Corps people saw the three corpses of their comrades, their faces turned pale instantly.

The eyes of the middle-aged man in front were wide open, and he displayed a slight bit of horror on his face. There was no doubt that the three of them, including Black Dog, were killed by the beast demon in front of him. A beast demon was several levels stronger than a human being, and, compared to it, they were as minute as the fine dust in the air.

“Yes, yes, yes! We’ll scram now. Scram right now!”

The Black Blood Mercenary Corps members nodded their heads, turned around, and left quickly. There was no way they still had the guts to stay any longer. They definitely didn’t want to turn into corpses as well.

The man right in front remained quiet, but due to the threat of the beast demon, he eventually decided to leave like his subordinates. With each step he took, he kept turning his head back to look at the three corpses while furrowing his eyebrows.

The six Ziyue Cave Heaven disciples jumped in joy. They felt like they had finally vented out their frustration.

On the other hand, Duck Emperor broke out in a cold sweat and heaved a sigh of relief. It thought to itself, ‘Screw their ducking mum! I managed to somehow chase this bunch of people away!’

“Lord, thank you!”

A female Ziyue Cave Heaven disciple walked over and expressed her gratitude towards Duck Emperor. Her way of showing her appreciation was to bend down and give Duck Emperor a kiss on its face.

Oh, wow!

Duck Emperor felt like its entire body had turned light. It could feel its body floating up to cloud nine. Its heart was beating fast, as if there was a train running in its body. Its blood was flowing faster, and it solemnly pledged, “You’re welcome, you’re welcome. Let this duck here tell you guys this: If they dare to come again, this duck here will peel their skin off and pull their tendons out.”

“Lord, you’re great! Come to Ziyue Cave Heaven. We’ll have some good food and drinks!” Another female disciple was courteous as well and massaged its shoulders.

At this moment, Duck Emperor finally knew what ‘all the stars cup themselves around the moon’ really meant. It finally knew what popularity was, what a cluster of flowers really was. The three pretty female Ziyue Cave Heaven disciples surrounded him, and the other three male disciples were complimenting it nonstop. All of them were being extremely friendly towards it.

Xiao Luo sat by the campfire alone, leaning against a huge tree with his eyes closed to regain his energy. He had nothing to say towards this stinky duck, but since it managed to scare the people from the Black Blood Mercenary Corps away, it saved him from doing it himself. He was too lazy to try and do it by himself anyway. Looking from this side was not a bad thing after all.

After the people from the Black Blood Mercenary Corps retreated more than a mile, the man realized that something didn’t seem right at all.

“What’s wrong, Brother Leopard?”

Everyone else was secretly happy that they managed to keep their lives, but the man’s henchman could tell that he was not looking normal.”

“Something is not right.” The man stopped and furrowed his eyebrows deeply.

Something was not right?

What wasn’t right?

The others stopped as well and shot a confused look towards him.

“The fatal wound on Black Dog and the rest were on their neck. Looking at the wound, it’s obvious that they were sliced by a sharp edge. Why would a beast demon need to use a knife to kill someone?” The man aired out his doubts.

After everyone heard that, they finally realized that something did seem strange.

“Besides, it’s not like we’ve never met a beast demon in this endless forest. A beast demon’s aura is extremely powerful. Don’t talk about standing right in front of it. Even if we stood a few kilometers away, we can already feel its terrifying aura in the air. And that duck wasn’t emitting any aura like that. No matter how you look at it, it’s just an ordinary stinky duck,” the man said.

Eh, that’s true indeed!

The more everyone heard that, the more they started to believe him. A very powerful beast demon without a sense of threat at all... This indeed didn’t seem right. Besides, a beast demon usually hated humans a lot, and they always hid in the depths of the forest to practice. There was no way it would get so close with other humans.

“Brother Leopard, don’t tell me we’ve been fooled?” the devoted henchman spoke.

“I don’t know.”

The man shook his head. There are many things that he just didn’t seem to understand. That duck didn’t look like a beast demon no matter how you looked at it, and, the three of them, including Black Dog, most probably weren’t killed by it. But the three of them were indeed real junior martial arts spirits, so how did they die? Could it be that they were killed by the young man who was sitting at the side who didn’t utter a single word? But that young man looked like he was just at the level of a martial artist. There was no way he had the ability to kill the three of them.

If you say that he did it with the six b*stards from Ziyue Cave Heaven, then that was all the more unlikely. Among those six b*stards, the strongest one was only at the level of an intermediate great martial artist at best. The difference was too huge. It’s like an insurmountable obstacle that could not be crossed. No matter how the few of them worked together, there’s no way they could have killed the three of them.

What in the world happened then?

The more he thought about it, the weirder this entire scenario became.

“Go, report the current situation to the assistant troop leader, and see what he has to say,” the man ordered his henchman.

“Brother Leopard, then what about you guys?”

“We’ll head back and see what’s actually going on,” the man said.

Head back?

As soon as the rest heard that, the color on their faces changed. It was unclear exactly how the three of them died. There was no way they had the guts to head back.

“What are you afraid of? I swear that that stinky duck isn’t a beast demon at all,” the man ascertained. “As to why it could open its mouth and talk, I bet it must have eaten some elixir or some kind of natural herbs or ores, and accidentally gained that ability.” He continued confidently, “Black Dog and the rest might have lost their lives, but I’m sure they must have underestimated their opponent and fell into their enemies’ trap. Otherwise, there’s no way a few martial artists can do anything to them.”

He was doing this to comfort his subordinates and himself, trying to convince himself that his speculation was correct.

Indeed, after his statement, the expression of the Black Blood Mercenary Corps members turned serious. Perhaps they really trusted him and believed that things really happened as he mentioned.

“Come, let’s head back!” the man shouted, taking the lead as they went back where Xiao Luo and the others were.

...

“Let me tell you people this, this duck here was in command of the world back in the days. I could produce clouds with one hand, and rain using the other, and could even pierce a hole through the sky. Right. Have you people heard of the story ‘Nüwa Mends the Heaven’?” Duck Emperor was currently bragging to the six Ziyue Cave Heaven disciples.

The six of them shook their heads and looked at Duck Emperor with eyes filled with admiration. The phrase ‘mend the heaven’ sounded extremely powerful even just listening to it.

“This duck here knows that you people have never heard of it. This just goes to show that you people are just way too young and living in an era that’s so far away from that period I’ve lived in. Since you people don’t know, then this duck here shall enlighten you guys. This duck here enjoys sharing stories.” Duck Emperor enjoyed the feeling of being worshipped. If it wasn’t because of Arcana Land, it would have lived its past 500 years for nothing. Now that it was floating all the way up into the clouds, it had thrown Xiao Luo to the back of its head. It was really treating itself like it was a real Beast Demon Lord.

This stinky duck was floating!

Xiao Luo sneered. He really wanted to walk straight up and kick this stinky duck in its butt.
