Fishing the Myriad Heavens

Chapter 503: Thousand Year King?

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

The sight of these gangster rabbits flooding in from all directions was a completely mind-numbing one. Even before fighting, they already lost their wits. The great name of the gangster rabbits was simply too fearsome.

In the past, everybody did not take these creatures seriously, even though their reputation was extremely smelly. The gangster rabbits were simply Demonic Beasts that were easily defeatable. Naturally, everyone had heard about the “battle records” of these rabbits, and there were plenty of jokes about the unlucky people who fell into their hands.

But today, there was no way that anybody could smile. There were simply too many of these gangster rabbits, and each one was at the Fourth Layer of the Hundred Year realm! The crowd felt extremely gloomy in their hearts at this moment. Since when did gangster rabbits become so ferocious?

“Later on, everyone will try to break out together. These gangster rabbits are definitely not ordinary. Since they knew to eliminate our patrols first then surround us, they must be well organized. In a few moments, everyone will be on their own. Those who get caught... you can decide for yourselves whether you want to commit suicide!” Liao Yi said in a gruff voice. He held a three-meter-long saber in his hand which gleamed with a frosty light.

“Kill!” Liao Yi raised his blade and ordered them to attack, and the other nine captains immediately gathered around him and charged out towards a certain direction. The over hundred cultivators behind hurried to catch up.

As for the large amounts of Demonic Beast materials, low grade spirit herbs, and other items still in the camp, nobody cared about them at all. All the high grade Demonic Beast cores and spirit herbs were inside the 10 captains’ rings. As long as they managed to escape with their lives, their losses would not be too big.

The 10 captains at the front were all seasoned warriors, and were incomparably ferocious. With a single exchange, it was obvious that these gangster rabbits had only reached the Fourth Layer of the Hundred Year realm in cultivation.

Their battle prowess was far from being a match for them. A single person could take down two or three gangster rabbits alone!

This discovery caused everyone’s morale to raise significantly. The crowd directly exploded forth with all their strength, disregarding everything to kill these gangster rabbits. Their chances of breaking out and escaping had been greatly lowered.

The gangster rabbits poured forward, constantly filing in where their comrades fell. However, they were beaten back repeatedly. At the same time, there were martial cultivators who fell under the heavy wave of gangster rabbits and were captured.

“How can this daddy possibly be caught by trash like you all? This daddy has no wish to be treated like a joke even after dying!”

The martial cultivators who were caught all laughed crazily as they unhesitatingly triggered the bombs on their bodies!

Each of these bombs was only three cm big, but they cost over 100,000 HCD!

The explosion radius was 10 meters, and the force of the explosion was sufficient to kill even Third Layer cultivators as long as it was within that area!

Numerous explosions rang out in the camp; each one represented a person who’d fallen.

After the explosion, the heavily battered bodies of a few gangster rabbits were revealed. Large patches of their snow white fur had been burnt. At such a close distance, even Fourth Layer Demonic Beasts could not withstand the blast. Apart from two gangster rabbits who had been directly blasted to death, the rest received heavy injuries, but did not die.

Only 30-something people were left of the original 100-plus. Over a hundred gangster rabbits had been slain in the process as well.

“Everyone, take out your bombs and open a path!”

Liao Yi’s entire body was drenched in blood. It was blood that belonged to the gangster rabbits, but also his own. His eyes had been clouded with blood, causing everything to look like a sea of red.

In such a great slaughter, even his Fourth Layer cultivation was somewhat insufficient. The expenditure on his strength was simply too big. Every strike was thrown out with his full strength; otherwise, if he was slowed down by the gangster rabbits, there would be no way out anymore.

Of the dead gangster rabbits, at least two-thirds of them had been killed by Liao Xi and the other captains!

There were still 20-odd gangster rabbits left standing before him and blocking his path out. At this time, everyone’s energy had already been expended by half. The group still needed to retain some energy to flee after they broke out of the encirclement, so Liao Yi had already decided not to take action anymore for the time being.

Turning around, there was only a third of the people that’d been following him now. Of the nine captains around him, only four were left. The others had fallen behind unknowingly.

Unfortunately, there was no time for grieving. The survivors all took out their bombs and chucked them forward!

Liao Yi and the other captains also revealed a pained expression as they each took out a basin-sized item covered in blue and black patterns from their spatial rings.

This thing was called an energy bomb, and each one cost over 30 million HCD. This much money could only be obtained by exchanging all the Demonic Beasts they hunted for half a year!

Of course, this kind of bomb was well worth the price. Within 300 meters, anything under the Thousand Year King realm would die without a doubt!

Perhaps the effects might be a little exaggerated, but it was sufficient to say that these bombs were extremely powerful!

Three energy bombs were activated together and thrown towards the groups of gangster rabbits!

“Boom!”

A white radiance that blinded the eyes burst out, causing everyone to cover their eyes with their hands.

The 20-something gangster rabbits in front were hurt by the ordinary bombs, while the gangster rabbits nearby immediately sprinted away on their chubby legs with all their might!

The intense light faded away; three huge pits had appeared in the area. The mangled bodies of numerous gangster rabbits could be seen inside each pit. Just the three energy bombs had directly killed over 60 gangster rabbits, and heavily injured over 100!

The 20-something gangster rabbits directly in their path had also suffered serious injuries, with many dying.

A wide smile appeared on everyone’s faces. The surrounding gangster rabbits did not dare to get closer, and the ones in their path were heavily injured. In such a situation, the remaining distance of several hundred meters only required a few breaths’ time to cross. Once they broke out and fled into the forest, their chances of escaping would increase by a large amount!

A round of white moon hung in the sky, surrounded by tall ancient trees. Several hundred meters away from the camp, a dark-red gangster rabbit stood on the topmost branch of a 100 merer tall tree, looking coldly at the battlefield below. It did not show any hints of emotion on seeing the deaths of so many of its own kind.

Numerous beams of moonlight continuously flowed into the rabbit’s body, and its aura constantly fluctuated between the peak of the Hundred Year realm and the Thousand Year King realm.

Below it, the blood Qi of the dead gangster rabbits had condensed into a blood mist, which hovered before it.

The essence blood of so many gangster rabbits was congealed into a purple-golden drop of blood which rippled constantly. A moment later, the drop of blood was swallowed by the gangster rabbit in one gulp.

The moment it swallowed the drop of blood, the dark-red gangster rabbit’s fur grew even darker in color, as if it was a coat of blood. A nauseating odor spread out in the five meters area around it.

Countless dark-red patterns were hidden under its skin; if one did not pay attention to it, they would not see it the patterns at all. If the gangster rabbit’s skin was plucked off at this moment, one would find that apart from its head, its entire body was covered with these patterns!

These patterns were packed extremely closely together, and looked like blood vessels.

The patterns continuously stretched upwards towards the gangster rabbit’s head, linking together.

But just as the patterns were about to completely cover its entire body and link up through its eyes, it suddenly began to slow down and recede to its neck, as if its strength had been used up.

“Ji-ji!”

A heaven-shocking squeak rang out, its tone filled with savagery and rage.

The gangster rabbit oppened its eyes, and two pillars of three chi long blood red light shot out!

The gangster rabbit squatted on the top of the tree, with a huge round moon the size of a house behind it. In that moment, it seemed like a grand demon watching the world with its red eyes!

Below, Liao Yi and the rest was charging out of the encirclement with great joy in their eyes. The gangster rabbits took a moment to react, and also charged forward again!

At this time, a shocking squeak suddenly rang out, causing Liao Yi and the rests’ minds to jolt.

The squeak reverberated around the mountain, and the several hundred meter tall trees shook in response. A small gangster rabbit not even one meter tall suddenly appeared before the group and started walking towards them.

Its speed wasn’t fast, but every step it took left several afterimages behind it!

This kind of high-level movement caused a strange illusion to register in the mind which felt extremely confusing, to the point that one would feel like vomitting blood just by looking at it. It seemed like several seconds had passed, but it also felt like only an instant had gone by as the gangster rabbit that was only half the height of Liao Yi suddenly appeared within two meters of him.

Although the strange gangster rabbit was much shorter than them, the feeling it gave everyone was like a higher being looking down at common mortals.

A drop of cold sweat rolled down Liao Yi’s forehead. For some reason, he felt incredibly nervous, and watched every action of this rabbit unblinkingly.

Silence!

The intense silence was so overpowering that it threatened to swallow the hearts of man!

“Damn rabbit! Die for me!”

Just as everyone felt as though they were going to suffocate in the silence, someone finally could not stand the invisible pressure. The stalwart woman shouted and lifted her huge axe that was the size of a door. With her muscles flexing fiercely, she hacked swiftly towards the gangster rabbit!

Everyone unconsciously held their breaths as they watched the huge axe cleaving towards the strange gangster rabbit!

“Dang!”

A terrifying sound rippled out, creating a sound wave which directly crushed the leaves on the nearby trees!

The huge axe had chopped against a huge dark-red bell beside the gangster rabbit’s body!

The dark-red bell was exactly like the bells in the temples on Earth. It was three meters tall and nearly two meters wide. Numerous blurry patterns were carved on the sides of the bell.

“Ka-cha!”

A crisp shattering sound rang out as numerous cracks appeared on the huge axe’s surface. Following that, the extremely expensive axe shattered into tiny pieces!

The huge female stepped backwards with an astonished expression on her face. It was as if her muscle brains could not understand how a full-strength strike carried out by her could not break the huge bell. In fact, she’d almost been killed by the terrifying rebound from the bell!

“How can this be?! How can this be?!”

“What is this Demonic Beast, there’s no way it’s a gangster rabbit! What joke is this, how can a gangster rabbit be so powerful!?”

Loud gasps rang out everywhere as the crowd watched their powerful captain’s muscles tearing and countless wounds appearing on her body. The sound of bones shattering could also be heard.

This gangster rabbit caused everyone to feel an intense chill run through their hearts. With such a powerful fellow blocking their path, how were they supposed to run? A spirit of despair began to spread through the crowd.

Liao Yi suddenly chuckled as he looked at the gangster rabbit, and said bitterly, “Transcendent! Thousand Year King!”

Silence. Even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard clearly in that moment. It was a silence as still as death! The three words “Thousand Year King” seemed to carry a type of magic!
