It was a sparkle of greed!
“Sea dragons might not be real dragons, but they still carry some dragon blood in them. The meat is extremely nourishing!”
The Taoist masters’ eyes sparkled when they heard that. Some of them were starting to drool.
“That’s right! We won’t let the old villain succeed! We won’t let that good stuff fall in the old villain’s hands!” The Taoist masters said indignantly.
However, their gaze was full of greed and desire.
“A sea dragon! That must be good stuff!” Shabby Taoist Master rubbed his hands in glee. Drool was coming out of his mouth.
Tang Hao was also excited. He had eaten serpent monster meat before, but he had not tasted sea dragon. He needed to get some for Sis Xiangyi and his grandparents.
Chapter 326 - A Case of Blue Balls
“Where’s that old villain now?” Taoist Master Qian Ji asked.
“He went out to sea in the afternoon, but he’s not back yet… Looking at the local weather patterns, there should be a storm some time in the next two days. The old villain should be lying in wait at sea,” the Taoist master answered.
“Alright. We’ll set off the first thing tomorrow morning to capture that old villain. I’ll also try to score some equipment in the meantime.”
The meeting was dismissed. Tang Hao returned to his room and called Sis Xiangyi, then started crafting jade talismans.
Considering that they would be engaged in battle at sea this time, Tang Hao did not craft any flame talismans. Instead, he crafted many lightning and water talismans.
The next morning just before sunrise, the people left the hotel, rode on the tourist bus, and went to the port.
Two fishing boats were already waiting for them.
Several military trucks were waiting on the port. Taoist Master Qian Ji instructed the soldiers to carry several crates from the trucks onto the fishing boats.
Then, the military trucks drove away.
Once on the fishing boats, the group of Taoist masters excitedly crowded around the crates.
Tang Hao was shocked when the crates were opened. The crates were filled with weapons and ammunition from the military. There were machine guns, bazookas, hand grenades, and all sorts of other weapons.
“Haha! It’s been so long since I touched a gun. I’m going to have so much fun with this!” Shabby Taoist Master picked up a machine gun and said excitedly.
“Here, take one of these guns too, Fellow Cultivator Tang!” Shabby Taoist Master said as he threw a machine gun at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao caught it. He also took many rounds of ammunition and kept all that in his pocket dimension.
Firearms were still useful against normal cultivators. Of course, they would be useless if the cultivators were equally matched with him, Wang Changsheng or Taoist Master Qian Ji.
After the weapons were distributed, the fishing boats left the port.
The area they were going to was very far away from the shore, and the fishing boats traveled slowly. They arrived at the target area in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, somewhere at sea, several fishing boats were floating aimlessly with their engines turned off.
The boats bobbed up and down in the waves.
A man leaned against the railing at the stern of one of the boats. He held a cigarette between the fingers of his right hand.
The cigarette smoke rose lazily in the air.
Wang Chengsheng felt a little bored as he watched the smoke rise into the air.
There was a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
He remembered that a few hundred years ago, he was a notorious villain. His name struck fear into everyone who heard it.
If the old cows from Mao Mountain had not tricked him and lured him into a trap, then piled on him and beat him up, he would not have been defeated and be sealed for the next few centuries.
He was ecstatic when he finally broke out of the seal, thinking that he could finally reclaim his former glory.
Unfortunately for him, he encountered a kid freak as soon as he broke out. He was utterly confused when he was defeated.
He, the notorious Wang Changsheng, was defeated by a kid?
That was utter humiliation!
Not only that, but he also encountered the kid again in the serpent monster’s nest. He had spent so much effort in planning and hunting the monster, but his efforts had benefited that filthy kid and the old cows from Mao Mountain instead.
He was utterly discouraged. The repeated failures had made him question his abilities.
He sighed again and felt more melancholy than ever.
“What do you call this feeling again… Right, blue balls!” He mumbled.
He learned the phrase from the Internet. He was not sure what that newfangled ‘Internet’ was, but he knew that it was a very useful thing.
However, he soon realized that he had no ‘balls’ to speak of.
“F*ck!” He swore under his breath. His face was ashen with anger.
He was accidentally castrated early in his cultivation process. He was still sore about that accident until now.
However, he soon put all that behind him. He put the cigarette into his mouth and dragged it deeply.
He felt as though he was floating.
“This ‘cigarette’ thing is really good stuff!” He sighed.
He leaned against the railing and looked into the sky, feeling more melancholy than ever.
“This has been such a big oof!” He lamented after a long while.
He had also learned that phrase from the Internet. That was perhaps the best way to describe how he was feeling.
He sat there and continued smoking cigarette after cigarette. A long time passed when suddenly, the sea surface became violent. The boats tossed up and down among the waves.
He immediately sat up in alert. He lifted his head and saw that dark clouds were gathering in the sky not far away. That was the sign that a storm was coming.
“It’s here!” He roared and jumped from where he was sitting.
He dragged his cigarette another time, then threw the cigarette on the floor and stomped it out.
“Everyone, be on alert! The monster is coming soon!” He roared loudly.
In the fishing boats nearby, the Wang family descendants appeared on the deck, wielding machine guns and harpoons.
Some people were also controlling the mechanical net casters at the bows.
Of course, the harpoons and nets were specially made. Normal weapons would not be able to harm a sea dragon.
The clouds became darker and heavier.
Boom!
A deafening thunderclap exploded.
The waves became more and more violent on the sea.
“Release, now!” Wang Changsheng roared.
The Wang family disciples poured barrels of food overboard.
A short while later, a bulge appeared on the surface of the sea. Something big was coming.
“It’s here!” Wang Changsheng roared. His eyes were opened round and wide and he looked eager.
A few seconds later, something erupted from beneath the surface of the sea. A snake-like creature as big as a mountain erupted from beneath. The scales that covered its body shone like jewels.
Boom! Crash!
Heavy rain fell, accompanying the deafening thunder.
In the storm, the creature stretched its neck and shrieked, causing big waves to form.
“Release the nets!” Wang Changsheng roared maniacally.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Massive nets were shot out from the fishing boats all around. The sea dragon was immediately entangled within the nets.
Each net was densely packed with sharp hooks.
The machine guns were next. The Wang family descendants fired maniacally at the creature.
Wang Changsheng aimed a harpoon at the creature’s eye.
The harpoon landed on its target. The sea dragon twisted and squirmed in pain. Its tail swept at one of the fis
hing boats, reducing it to splinters.
The battle lasted for more than two hours. The sea dragon became exhausted and was about to be killed.
Wang Chengsheng breathed a sigh of relief. “Wait until I swallow this sea dragon and recover my cultivation base!” He said happily, “When that happens… Haha! That filthy kid and the Mao Mountain cows, just you wait!”
His expression became darkly sinister all of a sudden.
However, he was stunned when he heard the sound of boats coming from afar.
Chapter 327 - What A Nice Guy
Wang Changsheng’s face was ashen when he turned around to see.
He could see two fishing boats speeding toward him. He could recognize the people standing at the bow of the boats, even though they were not wearing their Taoist robes.
‘The stinky Taoist masters are here again!
‘Why can’t they just leave me alone? Why do they show up wherever I go?’
Wang Changsheng’s eyes fell on one figure on those boats.
His face turned red in anger and he trembled violently.
‘It’s that filthy kid again!’ He gritted his teeth and his eyes brimmed with resentment.
Meanwhile, on the two fishing boats, the Taoist masters’ eyes sparkled when they saw the sea dragon.
Some of them were already drooling.
“Oh my, that’s a big sea dragon! I wonder how many meals that would be!”
The Taoist masters started yelling. “Faster, faster! Let’s f*ck over that old villain!”
While they yelled, they pulled out their machine guns and grenades.
The battle erupted as they neared.
Ratatatat!
The sounds of machine guns never ceased, while grenade explosions rocked the boats.
Tang Hao joined in the battle. He fired his gun at the enemy.
After a short while, the boats on both sides of the battle were beginning to crumble, though there were barely any human casualties. Many of the Wang family descendants were forced to jump overboard by the hand grenades.
A short while later, the sea dragon began to struggle again. The Wang family descendants were being attacked from both sides.
Wang Changsheng’s expression darkened. By the looks of it, they would lose the sea dragon to the Taoist masters.
He lifted his head toward the sky and howled. He emanated an invisible shockwave that dispelled the rainwater around him.
“Die, you Taoist cows!”
His eyes burned with anger as he howled. He lifted a hand and summoned a pillar of seawater. It turned into a wave and crashed toward Tang Hao’s boat.
Taoist Master Qian Ji grunted angrily. He clapped his palms together and narrowed his eyes.
A wall of seawater rose in front of him and crashed toward the incoming wave.
They continued summoning waves at each other for a while.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Water splashed everywhere as the opposing waves crashed.
“Let’s concentrate our forces and f*ck these Wang bastards over!” Shabby Taoist Master threw away his gun and joined the wave battle.
The Taoist masters and the Wang family descendants threw away their weapons. They gathered their qi and summoned huge waves.
The waves became higher and higher, pushing the boats around as though they were fallen leaves. They rose and fell along with the waves.
Even though the Wang family had the advantage in numbers, many of them did not have a high cultivation base. Furthermore, they were also being attacked by the sea dragon, which put them at a slight disadvantage.
Tang Hao saw the opportunity. He flicked his hands and a dozen water talismans appeared. He threw them out, which formed pillars of water. Then, he clapped his hands together and activated the sorcery spell.
Boom!
Suddenly, a forty-meter-tall wave erupted from the surface of the sea.
That was a jaw-dropping sight!
Not only were the Wang family descendants dumbstruck, even the Taoist masters were rendered speechless.
Wang Changsheng’s mouth turned into the shape of an O, as though he saw a ghost.
“W-W-What in the…”
He pointed a finger at Tang Hao and stammered.
He could sense that the kid had completed the State of Qi Channeling. How was that possible, though? How could he complete that State in less than two months?
Given the thin qi flow in modern times, that was an impossible feat!
While everyone was dumbstruck, Tang Hao gritted his teeth and pushed his hands forward. The wave crashed forward and swallowed up the boats of the Wang family descendants.
The fishing boats capsized. The Wang family descendants screamed as they fell into the sea and struggled.
Qian Ji and the rest of the Taoist masters came to their senses. They regarded Tang Hao as though they had seen a monster in front of their eyes.
Taoist Master Qian Ji rubbed his eyes. He thought he was mistaken.
“What the hell? How did you do that?” He swore.
He thought that the kid was already a freak for having such a high cultivation base at a young age. Now that the kid had surpassed him, he nearly popped a vein.
“Dammit, that’s ridiculous!” Shabby Taoist Master swore.
Then, he picked up a machine gun and fired toward the surface of the sea. Several Wang family descendants were reduced to sieves.
“Capture the old villain! Where is he?”
Taoist Master Qian Ji roared. He looked around to search for Wang Changsheng but failed to find him.
The survivors of the Wang family descendants began to escape. Many of them dove into the water.
They continued searching but did not find anything. “F*ck!” Taoist Master Qian Ji clenched his fists and swore. “We let the old villain get away again!
“Whatever. We’ll get him the next time. Let’s go, junior brothers! Let’s finish the sea dragon,” Taoist Master Qian Ji said excitedly as he pointed at the dragon.
The fishing boats sped forward.
As they neared, they realized how extraordinarily huge the sea dragon was. The jagged horns and glistening scales were awe-inspiring.
The sea dragon was already close to death. Blood flowed from a breach in its scales, staining red the sea around it.
The Taoist masters gasped in awe.
Taoist Master Qian Ji unleashed an attack and ended the sea dragon’s life.
The sea dragon was too big to be moved by a single fishing boat. The two fishing boats could barely drag the sea dragon at full power.
It was quite inconvenient for them to pull the sea dragon’s body back to the shore. Instead, they found an uninhabited island and dismembered the sea dragon there.
Like the serpent monster, each part of the sea dragon was useful. The scales, the skin, the blood, the flesh, and even the teeth and claws were precious treasures. None of that went to waste.
After that, they started a fire and roasted the meat.
“That Wang Changsheng is such a nice guy!” Taoist Master Qian Ji said emotionally.
He rubbed his hands as he looked at the meat roasting over the spit. He was almost drooling.
“Yes! He’s a nice guy!” The other Taoist masters nodded their heads in agreement.
He had gifted the Taoist masters a serpent monster last time, and a sea dragon this time. That was such a nice gesture!
At the same time, somewhere out in the open sea, a thoroughly wet man sat on top of a plank.
He suddenly shivered and sneezed.
“Dammit, who’s talking about me?” He grumbled.
“Right, it must be the bunch of Taoist cows!” He gritted his teeth. “Just you wait! And that filthy kid too! I won’t let you go next time!”
He cursed and swore some more, and was interrupted by another sneeze.
“F*ck me, are those Taoist cows done with talking about me?”
He swore as he paddled forward on the plank.
The scene was ind
escribably pathetic.
Chapter 328 - The Qi Gathering Jars Are Stolen
Soon, darkness fell across the land.
Countless stars appeared in the night sky.
The breeze brought the scent of the sea.
Tang Hao felt extremely relaxed at that moment. He sat in front of the bonfire, listening to the Taoist masters tell their stories.
The Taoist masters were in their fifties or sixties and had been all around the world. Each of their experiences was enough to fill a book.
Tang Hao exclaimed in amazement when he heard their stories.
He could never be as experienced or as well-traveled as the Taoist masters.
The meat was soon ready to eat. The tantalizing fragrance made everyone hungry.
Tang Hao was mesmerized by the smell of the meat. He took a big bite, and his body trembled with sheer incredulity.
He thought that the white cobra meat was the most delicious thing in the world, but after biting into the sea dragon meat, he realized that he was wrong. Not only was the sea dragon more delicious than the white cobra, but the texture of the meat was also more smooth and delicate.
After he swallowed the meat, a stream of pure energy flowed from his stomach and throughout his body. He had never felt so comfortable before.
He was not the only one who was shocked by the taste of the meat. The Taoist masters were all shocked too.
“Heavens! This taste… is incredible!” They exclaimed in between chews.
They ate to their fill and rubbed their bloated stomachs blissfully.
“This is so delicious! Say, sea dragons are already so delicious. What do you think a real dragon would taste like?” Shabby Taoist Master said as he rubbed his stomach.
“That must be the ultimate deliciousness!” The Taoist masters lamented.
Taoist Master Qian Ji was reclining on the beach. He rolled his eyes. “You idiots. Let’s not talk about whether there are real dragons left in this world. Even if we found one, how are we going to defeat it?”
