Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 688 - 145: Brawl

Long Jiuzun, like an arrow poised on a taut bowstring, had no choice but to launch.

His body, filled with Dark Power, erupted like a volcanic fire, resembling a hungry tiger with bloodshot eyes as he landed on the back of the humpback whale.

At that moment, Long Jiuzun, with his entire body radiating Dark Energy, was like a War God possessed, his whole figure as if clad in golden Battle Armor, impervious to swords and guns. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

He moved as swiftly as a shooting star, pouncing forward.

He grabbed the whale’s fin with one hand, and then his palm transformed into a blade, viciously chopping at the fin.

As a Dark Practitioner at the Dark Heavenly Peak, his whole body had been tempered to be as hard as indestructible iron, and with the Dark Skill protective body technique from the National Guardian General Residence, Long Jiuzun’s strike carried an immense force.

The humpback whale, unlike a shark, was massive and Long Jiuzun’s approach was so swift it could not avoid him.

The fin on its back was chopped off with one strike, as if deepened by a Holy Artifact, immediately creating a dent on the thick back of the humpback whale.

He stabbed forcefully with both hands, penetrating the thick skin of the whale, and the fin was completely torn off.

The humpback whale only felt a dull pain on its back, and its Holy Runes, which were unified across its body, dimmed as the fin was torn off.

Enraged, it swept its tail horizontally, trying to knock Long Jiuzun, who was like a flea on its back, into the water.

Long Jiuzun tiptoed on the whale’s back, his hands again condensing several trails of Dark Energy, attacking once more towards the duck-shaped bill of the humpback whale.

With a "bang," the duck-bill shaped mouth of the humpback whale was brutally torn open by his hands.

The entire sea surface churned with blood, the Holy Runes on the humpback whale were broken, and it writhed in unbearable pain in the water.

Long Jiuzun, relishing the slaughter, unwilling to stop, unleashed a frenzy of punches and kicks, mangling the back of the humpback whale until its skin was peeled and tattered; he too was bathed in blood, looking like a bloodied man.

On the sea surface, the boat was shattered, and the carcass of the whale surfaced.

As mighty as Long Jiuzun, he was now exhausted, spat into the sea, and when he tried to lift his fist for a final strike, he found his fists were as soft as tofu, utterly unable to clench.

"Hahaha---King of Sea Beasts, is merely this much," Long Jiuzun spread his hands, laughing loudly over the vast ocean.

Between heaven and earth, only he was left, along with his arrogant laughter, as if he was the only one left in the world.

Suddenly, he choked on his breath, looking down at his body.

His eyes suddenly bulged wide, as if seeing the most unbelievable thing.

A great sword had inexplicably thrust out from the back of the whale, piercing incredibly accurately between his legs.

A sound of shattering drowned out the laughter of Long Jiuzun.

Even as a War God, even impervious to swords and guns, in a moment blinded by victory, he neglected his defense.

The sword was ferocious and swift, and without any defenses, the half-person-tall blade submerged completely into him.

"!" Long Jiuzun spat out fresh blood, feeling the Dark Energy and life force within him diminishing bit by bit from the sword’s consumption.

The great sword carved a huge opening in the whale’s back, and amidst tearing of flesh and bone, a person emerged from the bloodied gut of the whale.

Amongst the gore, the person appeared unruffled, leisurely jumping out.

"Yue Jinghua, you," Long Jiuzun never thought that he would fall into Yue Jinghua’s trap.

"Young General Long, it’s been a while," Yue Jinghua wiped the blood off her face, revealing a bright smile with sparkling eyes and white teeth.

The scene was as if she was casually strolling on the street and bumped into an old friend who she had not seen for decades.

A flash of realization struck Long Jiuzun.

He had indeed fallen for Yue Jinghua’s cunning scheme, unwittingly becoming a pawn for others.

Yue Jinghua drew out the Lianyun Great Sword, and Long Jiuzun’s body shuddered.

"You dare to scheme against me, Yue Jinghua, you despicable villain," as the Great Sword was drawn, the blood from Long Jiuzun’s wound gushed out like a flood.

"Tsk tsk, when it comes to being despicable, how can I compare to you, Young General Long, you who have repeatedly ’taken care’ of the Duke Mansion? Rest assured, I will collect the rewards on your behalf," Yue Jinghua said, having already performed "Cloud Stacking".

Her body moved gracefully like a colorful bird, her Sword Qi forming clouds. She thrust her sword at Long Jiuzun repeatedly.

In an instant, Long Jiuzun’s vital spots around his body were enveloped by the Sword Qi.

Although Long Jiuzun was exhausted and gravely wounded, Yue Jinghua showed no sign of underestimating him.

An old boat still has three pounds of iron, let alone the War God Long Jiuzun.

"Shameless scoundrel, you alone are not worthy to kill me," Long Jiuzun roared, his clothes tearing into pieces, his hair disheveled.

He took out an elixir from his bosom and swallowed it.

The elixir he consumed was the rare Divine Elixir, the Nine-Life Rejuvenation Pill. His entirely depleted Dark Energy instantly recovered, and the profusely flowing blood also stopped momentarily.

The Nine-Life Rejuvenation Pill, made from the blood of nine extremely powerful and ferocious Dark Beasts including the Sub-Asian Dragon, the Earth Tyrant Bear, and the Forest Mountain Ape, was a heaven-defying elixir that could instantly restore Dark Power and snatch life from the jaws of death, but the side effects were also severe.

After consuming it, the user’s entire body’s veins would be damaged, and even with diligent treatment, the cultivation would no longer progress.

Long Jiuzun had treasured this elixir for future critical situations, yet now he was forced into a corner by Yue Jinghua.

In his eyes, Yue Jinghua had never been a worthy opponent. Unexpectedly, such an insignificant figure had pushed him to such a plight.

"Yue Jinghua, I will reduce the Duke Mansion to ruins, enslave the men, prostitute the women, damning them to eternal servitude," upon the effectiveness of the Nine-Life Rejuvenation Pill, Long Jiuzun’s already towering stature grew a few inches.

His skin and nails grew out wild beast-like hair and claws, his once noble appearance now hideously transformed.

"Tsk tsk, so you had a trump card as well," Yue Jinghua, seeing Long Jiuzun’s changed appearance and knowing he had used a forbidden drug, raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, "Who said I wanted to fight you one-on-one? You are a War God, but I am not."

With that said, she used Instantaneous Movement and reappeared several meters away, standing gracefully on the sea surface like a bewitching Demon Lotus.

She spread her palms open, her slender fingers danced through the air like playing a harp, drawing one pattern and then another.

A Five-star Radiance and then a Six-star Radiance followed, with the flickering of the Star Light, one, two, three...and more Dark Beasts appeared on the previously empty sea.

The half-man, half-snake Gore with his golden hair flowing, the giant winged mosquito swarm like a looming Black Cloud, the scythe-wielding Xi Yuan, Little Shanshan treading on lightning clouds, and the Flamingo enveloped in fiery clouds, each one a High-level Dark Beast.

"Come on, now we can begin," Yue Jinghua smirked shamelessly, while Long Jiuzun’s facial muscles twitched uncontrollably.
