Prince Wuyou.
Gong Gong Wuyou.
The son of the Water God.
Ji Hao’s heart sank instantly. Faced with double amount of pressure that Prince Xu and Prince Wuyou were giving, he looked calmly at both of them and said, “Didn’t think that only a small magic crystal mine could make you, respectful Prince Wuyou, come by yourself.”
Since Prince Wuyou had already said that he wouldn’t let Ji Hao return alive to the Magi Palace, there was no necessity for Ji Hao to remain polite to both of them. In this case, Ji Hao immediately let out a sentence that insinuated that Gong Gong Wuyou had accepted benefits, given by Prince Xu, to help him frame Ji Hao for this magic crystal mine.
Prince Wuyou’s silvery pupils abruptly became a weird dark-blue colour, and looked so deep that it seemed as a bottomless ocean with roaring and rolling waves.
The transparent strings of his music instrument let out a nice tinkling sound. While gently playing the stringed music instrument with his long and pretty, jade-like fingers, Prince Wuyou responded blandly, “You shameless little kid, how dare you talk to me, Gong Gong Wuyou, unjustly like that? How could I betray my honesty for such a small fortune?”
Prince Xu stood beside Prince Wuyou, laughed and said, “Filthy and shameless people naturally have filthy and shameless thoughts inside their mind. How can they possibly understand the respectful, honest spirit of a prince like you?”
Prince Wuyou let out a faint sigh, looked at Ji Hao and said with a gentle yet cold voice, “I came here because Prince Xu has built a new outhouse palace. As a guest, I came to congratulate him for the completion of this new outhouse palace. I hadn’t thought that I would meet you, a bunch of shameless people who wants to blackmail the Lie Mountain Family in here, so contemptible.”
“Well, well, I can’t bear to talk even one more sentence to you. You have stained my eyes, my ears and my mouth. Guards, capture this kid and behead him. I will send his head to the King of the humankind myself, and seek some justice for the Lie Mountain family.”
Resonating shouts came from the other side of the fence wall right after Gong Gong Wuyou had given his order. Tens of muscular warriors, wearing black dragon-scale armours, holding undy-shaped, long sharp swords, were rushing over while releasing great and cold power from all over their bodies. They trod on the ground, but water-ripple-like mist naturally rose from under their feet along with clattering water sounds. These warriors swiftly rushed over, leapt across the fence wall within the blink of an eye and rushed towards Ji Hao.
Mr Crow let out a long and shrill caw, flapped its wings, preparing to transform into a beam of firelight and go up into the sky. These warriors were only ordinary Senior Magi, they couldn’t possibly fly. Therefore, as long as Mr Crow rose high into the air, none of these guards of Prince Gong Gong could do Ji Hao any harm.
However, right after Mr Crow had stretched its wings, a fierce gust of wind swished over from behind it. It was Meng Ao, holding a silvery white, three foot, square-shaped long spear, and punctured Mr Crow’s left wing. The three foot and two inch long spearhead was thrust into Mr Crow’s body through the root of its left wing and came out from its chest.
“Explode!” yelled Meng Ao. Followed with his voice, a beam of silver light flashed across the spearhead, then the sharp spearhead suddenly exploded, turning into countless thorns and pierced into the remaining parts of Mr Crow’s body along with high-pitched swishing sounds.
Mr Crow cawed out loudly in pain. All of its internal organs were injured by those long thorns, which happened to contain metal-like powers. Inside Mr Crow’s body its muscles, blood vessels, and meridians, everywhere that had been touched by those thorns, all had exploded. Large amounts of blood spurted out from Mr Crow’s body. Mr Crow opened its beak wide and tried to caw, but streams of blood immediately gushed out through its throat, disabling it from making any sound.
At least a thousand long metal thorns had pierced through Mr Crow’s body. Mr Crow instinctively activated its power and healed those wounds, however, after those wounds were healed, those long thorns still remained in its body.
Mr Crow tried to flap its wings and flew back into the sky, but once it moved its wings, countless sharp thorns pierced out again from inside its body through the already-healed wounds, and more blood spurted out. Finally, Mr Crow lost the control of the left half of its body, and thudded heavily against the ground.
Meng Ao had unexpectedly launched a surprise attack on Mr Crow. Although his attack was not powerful enough to kill Mr Crow, he had been successful in stopping Mr Crow and Ji Hao from fleeing away.
“Caw!”
