Chapter 337: Venturing Deep Sea, You Are The Ones Who Have Gone Too Far, Pinning The Scaled King Onto The Pillar
“As I said, you’re not in the position to bargain!”
Chu Kuangren said indifferently as his mountain-sized palm grabbed onto the Scaled Tribe admiral’s throat, restricting the latter’s movement.
He looked back at Chu Kuangren with eyes full of terror.
He was an Honorable Supreme. Yet in the face of Chu Kuangren, he could not even budge a finger.
The strength of his adversary had far exceeded his expectations. He could tell earlier that Chu Kuangren would not be an easy opponent, but he never thought that he would be so defeated!
“Just die!”
Chu Kuangren lifted the Scaled Tribe admiral with a single arm. As his eyes flashed, he applied a light force to his five fingers and unleashed an incredibly scary and huge force!
Within an instant, this Scaled Tribe admiral was crushed into a pile of blood mist!
It looked like child’s play for him to choke an Honorable Supreme to death like that.
After that, he slammed out a palm attack at the few oceanic beasts on the shoreline, effortlessly reducing them into a pile of smithereens.
This incredibly horrifying power shocked the entire Scaled Tribe.
Meanwhile, the Godly Phoenix Lil Red hovered over the sky while she opened up her jaws and spit out fireballs after fireballs into the Scaled Tribe army, who were turned into ashes.
Chu Kuangren came to the side of the prisoner cage and formed a sword hand sign. Several sword qi gushed out and tore down the prisoner’s cage. Even the handcuffs on the hands of the Snowstorm Sect Leader and his people were all smashed off, granting them freedom once more.
“Many thanks, Sect Leader.”
The Snowstorm Sect Leader gave a fist salute and said. He then stared at the hundred thousand over dead bodies on the shoreline with impeccable anger and despair in his eyes.
Chu Kuangren calmly assured him, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the Scaled Tribe. I’ll leave it to you guys to settle the matters here, and I shall leave the Godly Phoenix here to help you out. The Black Heaven Sect will also dispatch our people here.”
“Alright, thank you, Sect Leader.”
“You’re most welcome.”
Chu Kuangren fixed his gaze at the turbulent waves in front of him, and a cold ray of light erupted from his gaze. He instantly grabbed one of the Scaled Tribe soldiers who was still alive and told him in a cold voice, “Take me to the Scaled Tribe, so I can see your King!”
“Yes, yes.”
That Scaled Tribe soldier dared not defy his order and nodded in fear.
…
Under the ocean, inside a magnificent palace.
The Scaled Tribe was holding a banquet, which was attended by prestigious admirals and even some chieftains of the Scaled branch tribes.
Just like how the Human Tribes had countless family names, the Scaled Tribe themselves had numerous branch tribes too. The current branch tribe that held the position of power was the Golden Scaled Tribe — the most powerful of them all.
The Golden Scaled Tribe thus became the royal family of the Scaled Tribe, carrying the surname of Bei Ming in their noble names.
The current ruling king of the Scaled Tribe went by the name of Bei Mingpeng!
At the banquet, there were mermaids as dancers, clam critters as wine servers, guests toasting each other and having lively conversations. The whole scene was a camaraderie.
Just then, one of the Scaled Tribe members rushed into the venue.
“R-reporting to the King, the Admiral White Scaled is dead!!”
Terror was written all over the Scaled Tribe’s faces.
Admiral White Scaled was one of the most decorated admirals amongst the Scaled Tribe, so his sudden death shocked most of the Scaled Tribe members.
“Yes, noted.”
The Scaled King did not seem surprised at all at that news. Instead, he said nonchalantly, “Have Admiral Yellow Scaled the Thirteenth make the necessary preparation, then send our people to continue the attack on Black Heaven Sect’s coastal region’s affiliated forces. Until Chu Kuangren gives up the Trident Halberd and the Emperor-Grade treasures, let there be bloodshed.”
Upon hearing this, many of the Scaled Tribe people exchanged glances.
One of the Scaled Tribe elders stood up and said, “King, isn’t it a little too risky to openly wage a war against Chu Kuangren?”
“Risky? Hah, no matter how resilient this Chu Kuangren might be, he can’t possibly have the balls to dive deep into the ocean bed and wreak havoc at our very own Scaled Tribe territory, can he?”
The Scaled King replied amusingly.
He seemed very confident about this impending battle.
The Scaled Tribe resided deep on the ocean bed. No matter if it was a Sage who came here, the pressure at the bottom of the ocean would reduce their combat strength half.
On the contrary, the Scaled Tribe could unleash their full power at the bottom of the ocean. From the start of time until now, nobody could beat the Scaled Tribe in their home turf, the ocean bed.
All the Scaled Tribe people pondered about this for a moment and realized that there was total reasoning in what their King had said.
The banquet carried on as usual.
It was as if the death of Admiral White Scaled was nothing but a mere minor incident for the crowd. All it took was a brief discussion for them to be over it.
While the guests were having a fun time chit-chatting…
Boom!!
The whole palace started to quake violently.
“What’s going on?!”
“Why is there suddenly a quake? Don’t tell me this is an earthquake?”
“No way. We’ve never had a strange phenomenon like this for so many years, how can there be an earthquake so suddenly? Quick, send some people over to have a look.”
The panicked Scaled Tribe people looked at their surroundings.
At this moment, an old man suddenly appeared beside the Scaled King who was taken aback upon seeing this old man. “Elder, why are you here?”
This old man was an elder of the Scaled Tribe Palace.
He was also a Sage.
He was currently staring at a space outside the palace, his gaze incredibly forlorn. “He’s here. Order every Scaled Tribe cultivator who is below the Honorable Realm to leave the palace at once. As for the rest, remain here and defend against our enemy with me.”
“Who’s here?” The Scaled King was still in a bit of shock.
“Do you really need me to remind you who you’ve offended?”
The Scaled Tribe elder swept a side-eye at the Scaled King and said bluntly.
The Scaled King was taken aback. “Don’t tell me it’s Chu Kuangren? How dare he venture so deep in the ocean?!”
“I heard rumors from the outside world saying that this Black Heaven Sect Leader is not someone whom you can fathom his actions with logic. I won’t be surprised at whatever he’s about to do to us next,” the Scaled Tribe elder said calmly.
The Scaled King was astonished at first, but then, a cold smile etched out on his face. “Since he’s here, then that’s fabulous news. Nobody could ever beat the Scaled Tribe in the deep ocean. Today, we shall let our enemy have… a one-way trip!!”
The Scaled Tribe elder right beside him had an eerie look in his eyes too.
Just then.
The body of a dead Scaled Tribe soldier was thrown into the banquet hall.
Outside the Scaled Tribe Palace, a white-robed figure descended abruptly. However, it was as though there was an invisible forcefield surrounding his body because the seawater was separated outside this forcefield, not affecting Chu Kuangren the slightest bit.
This was precisely the treasure that Chu Kuangren had obtained not long ago… the Water Evasion Pearl!
Chu Kuangren had forced his way in the Scaled Tribe Palace with Sword-based Daoist Rhyme coursing all over his body, and he emanated a chilling poise.
“Human, what are you doing here?!”
A Scaled Tribe admiral yelled out at him.
“I’m here to be a fisherman for the day, to kill myself some fishes!” Chu Kuangren said bluntly, and a surge of incredibly piercing sword qi gushed out from his body. The seawater surrounding them started to toss and tumble aggressively, and that Scaled Tribe admiral who questioned him was torn into pieces right there and then by the sword qi.
Chu Kuangren’s sword qi swept out with brute force, filling a good whole half of the palace.
The whole palace was shrouded in an imminent death threat. Wherever the sword qi traveled, countless Scaled Tribe people would be slain!
Blood mixed with the seawater, and before long, more than a dozen kilometer radius was dyed in a bloodied red. Countless Scaled Tribe people were sent into helter-skelter.
“Chu Kuangren, you’ve gone too far!!”
The Scaled King shouted in fury. Following that, a black trident suddenly appeared in his arm, which he threw towards Chu Kuangren.
The trident contained an incredibly tremendous torrent and looked as though it were about to destroy anything that came in its way as it plunged at Chu Kuangren without any resistance.
This one thrust of the trident was extremely appalling. It managed to penetrate the forcefield surrounding Chu Kuangren, but the forcefield was able to nullify over half of the trident’s torrential force.
The remaining energy from that trident attack was not much of a concern to Chu Kuangren at all too. All he did was reach out to grab ahold of the trident which was emitting boundless momentum, and just like that, the trident was stopped and caught in his grasp.
“It’s you, the Scaled Tribe, who has gone too far!!”
Chu Kuangren simply lifted his arm and hurled the trident back at its user with a much stronger violent energy.
The Scaled King immediately reached out a hand to catch that incoming trident, but the sheer power in that return blew him right off. The trident kept slipping away from his grasp until it finally broke free and pierced through his shoulder, pinning him onto one of the palace’s pillars.
