Chapter 1154: Escape

The Black Fish Snake King’s lantern-like eyes were filled with anger as he looked at the carcasses floating in the air.

“Oh no, be careful!” The leader of the Starry Sky Hunters shouted.

In the sky, a giant tail attacked the flying boat.

Boom!

A loud crash sounded, and the flying boat began to shake violently. Fortunately, the surrounding formations blocked it. Otherwise, the flying boat might have been torn to pieces.

The steward of the Chamber of Commerce hurriedly said, “We can’t let him continue to crash into the boat. The formation can’t hold on any longer.”

At this point, the surrounding formation had become much dimmer after the attack. The strength of this behemoth was too strong, far surpassing that of an ordinary Ruler.

“Second Brother, Third Brother, let’s join hands!”

The bald boss shouted coldly. The other 2 Starry Sky Hunters quickly ran over. The 3 of them confronted the king of the Black Fish Snake.

At this moment, the king of the Black Fish Snake attacked again with its tail. The expressions of the 3 hunters did not change as they shouted loudly, “Kill!”

Following their fierce shouts, their auras exploded.

Their coordination was tacit as their bodies broke through the air. The scimitars in their hands danced as they slashed toward the Black Fish Snake King’s head.

Seeing this, the king changed the target of its tail and swept at the 3 of them. The king also sensed danger from them.

They were all Rulers, but the king of the Black Fish Snake was more powerful than the 3 of them. Nonetheless, when the 3 of them worked together, their strengths also increased by several times.

Their bodies flashed in the air, dodging the tail of the Black Fish Snake King, and the lights from their scimitars slashed upward.

“Pfft!”

Blood seeped out from the Black Fish Snake King’s skin, and 3 hideous wounds appeared on its tail. Dark brown blood poured down like a waterfall.

The Black Fish Snake King opened its mouth in pain and roared, “Roar…”

It was ear-piercing and carried a sound wave attack.

The 3 people in the air hurriedly sealed their hearing. They were experienced and knew how to deal with the Black Fish Snake King the moment it opened its mouth.

On the other hand, the people on the huge flying boat were not so lucky. They covered their ears and looked very pained.

Those who were weaker had blood seeping out of the corners of their mouths. Fortunately, they were on the flying boat. Those who traveled in the starry sky at least had the ability to protect themselves. If they were in a small city, tens of thousands of people would probably die from this loud voice.

After all, there were only a few powerful people in the Great Wide World. Most of them were weaker than Venerable Ones and would never be able to leave their continent.

Nevertheless, most of the people on the giant flying boat had the strength of a Venerable One. They could still manage to block this wave of attack.

Among the crowd, only Ou Yangming and the middle-aged man’s expressions did not change. It was as if they did not feel the sound wave attack at all.

The body of the little girl, whose name was Jianjia, flashed with a faint light, but she was not affected at all.

At this time, the middle-aged man was once again attracted by the young fellow.

‘I wasn’t affected because I comprehended the power of laws. What did that young fella rely on?

‘The power of laws or a special treasure?’

The middle-aged man pondered. He was very curious about the young fellow not far away.

After a moment, the giant creature in the air disappeared. The king of the Black Fish Snakes escaped with its injuries. The other Black Fish Snakes also quickly fled.

They came fast and left fast. Their attack was not effective, leaving only carcasses on the ground.

“It’s a pity that the big guy escaped.” The bald boss had a regretful look in his eyes.

The value of that big guy was more than all the other Black Fish Snakes combined. Even so, they also understood that if they were not fully prepared, it would be almost impossible to capture that big guy.

This empty starry sky was the Black Fish Snakes’ territory. If they wanted to leave, there was no way to stop them. Moreover, the Black Fish Snake still had the strength to fight. If they wanted to fight to the death, perhaps all of the passengers would be buried with him.

The bald man looked at the piles of carcasses in the sky with a smile on his face. This was already the best outcome. He and his men could gain a lot from the carcasses.

“Pack up! We’ll leave this place immediately!”

The bald boss glanced at everyone.

“All of you go and help,” the steward of the Chamber of Commerce ordered. The guards on the flying boat ran over to help clean up.

The path in front of the huge flying boat was blocked by the carcasses of the Black Fish Snakes. If they wanted to leave this place, they had to get rid of those things first.

Even though the densely packed carcasses were equivalent to piles of spirit coins, no one else tried to plot anything. They would have to be ready to face death if they wanted to target the Starry Sky Hunters and their quarries.

The passengers on the huge flying boat also helped to clean up the Black Fish Snakes. Since there were too many carcasses, it was impossible to take all of them away. The bald men chose the most precious parts among them, which were the tails and eyeballs.

It was worth noting that the eyeballs of the Black Fish Snakes were Grade 4 spiritual herbs and were not cheap. Their tails were also high-quality materials for toll refinement and could be sold at a high price. As for the other parts, they were abandoned in the starry sky.

Everyone took action and quickly finished cleaning up. The steward of the Chamber of Commerce also gave back the spirit coins to the few people.

The Starry Sky Hunters beamed with joy. Not only did they not waste their spirit coins on this trip, but they also earned a lot of money. When they looked at the other cultivators on the flying boat, their gazes became even more unruly.

At this time, the bald second brother among the hunters walked over from the front of the dragon boat. He noticed Ou Yangming, and he said with a mocking look, “B*stard, did you see what happened? This starry sky isn’t for weaklings like you.”

Ou Yangming frowned. He did not know how he had offended the man. This was already the second time the man had ridiculed him. The first time was when they were buying tickets, where the man told him the same thing.

Even the most docile person had a temper, not to mention Ou Yangming. Young fellows were full of vigor, to begin with. How could one tolerate being ridiculed by someone else over and over again?

Ou Yangming raised his head with an indifferent smile on his face. He questioned coldly, “Do you think you’re very strong?”

The bald man was stunned for a moment. He then looked at Ou Yangming with a gloomy face. He did not expect that this young fellow would dare to refute his words.

“B*stard, you don’t know what’s good for you. If it weren’t for us brothers just now, you would’ve turned into the shit in a Black Fish Snake’s stomach.”

The bald man sneered. In his opinion, the people on the giant flying boat were saved by them.

Instead of being grateful, the young fellow even dared to talk back to him, so he felt that the fellow simply did not know what was good for him.

The other men also looked over with interest and with smiles on their faces. They had just earned a large sum of money, so they were in a good mood.

“It seems that Second Elder Brother still hasn’t gotten over that hurdle in his heart.” The brothers counted the spirit coins in their interspatial bags and looked over with a smile.

“How could he get over it so quickly? Second Elder Brother was fighting desperately outside for that family. Who knew, that woman ran away with a white-faced boy. It’d be difficult for anyone to get over it,” another person said softly.

“There’s nothing we can do. That white-faced man has a powerful backer. None of us can afford to offend him. Otherwise, we would’ve killed him to avenge Second Elder Brother.”

“Well, here’s nothing we can do. We all have families, so we can’t be impulsive.”

They spoke softly, but Ou Yangming heard them clearly. He finally understood why the man did not like him. It was because of his body. In that case, the man was not targeting him.

Thinking of this, the anger in Ou Yangming’s heart gradually dissipated. He did not argue with the bald man. The bald man muttered a few words and left after hearing his brother’s call.

“Young brother, you shouldn’t be weaker than that person. Why were you being so tolerant?” The middle-aged man beside Jianjia stood up and walked over to sit next to Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming glanced at the bald men and responded with a smile, “They’re a little rude, but they don’t have any ill intentions. Besides, they just saved everyone, so it’s okay to let him say a few words.”

The middle-aged man had a strange look in his eyes, and then he remarked with a smile, “I didn’t expect you to be such a reasonable person, young brother. My name is Zhang Suixian. How can I address you?”

“I’m Ou Yangming,” Ou Yangming answered politely.

“Uncle Zhang, why are you here?” Jianjia went to find Zhang Suixian after he left for only a few minutes.

Zhang Suixian said with a doting smile, “I’m here to chat with this young brother.”

He wanted to ask about Ou Yangming’s background, but he did not ask further when Jianjia came.

“What’s your name?” Jianjia looked at Ou Yangming curiously. Among all the people on the boat, only she and the young fellow were the youngest.

“His name is Ouyang Ming,” Zhang Suixian said.

“Ou Yangming?” Jianjia asked jokingly, “Is your surname Ou, and your first name is Yangming?”

Zhang Suixian frowned and scolded, “Little girl, don’t talk nonsense.”

In Zhang Suixian’s opinion, Ou Yangming was not an ordinary person. He had not heard of a top family with the surname Ouyang, but the Humans had a vast territory and many families that lived in seclusion. Generally, no one would like others to joke about their surnames.

Jianjia stuck out her tongue and looked wronged.

Ou Yangming smiled and said, “You’re so smart. You’re the first person to get my surname right.”

He even gave a thumbs up. Indeed, among the vast sea of people, only Jianjia could distinguish his surname clearly.

Ou Yangming had also been feeling helpless for a long time. Up until this point, he still did not know what Old Craftsman was thinking. The surname was not odd, nor was his first name. Despite that, when combined together, his name sounded a bit weird.

“Really? Your surname is really Ou, and your first name is Yangming?” Jianjia’s eyes lit up like fireflies in summer.

Zhang Suixian said helplessly, “Young brother, Jianjia’s just a child. You don’t have to accommodate her like this.”

Ou Yangming said with certainty, “Brother Zhang, I didn’t accommodate anyone. How can I joke about my surname? Jianjia was really right.”

“R-really?” Zhang Suixian stuttered.

“Of course.” Ou Yangming nodded.

The giant flying boat began to move slowly. In the depths of the starry sky, the Black Fish Snake King’s eyes were burning with anger. It was flying rapidly in the air as if it was hurrying on its way.
