Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence - Chapter 182 - Chapter 182: Chapter 98: Innate Great Qi Capture_1

Chapter 182: Chapter 98: Innate Great Qi Capture_1

A raspy voice echoed from the waters and a massive shadow almost obliterated the entire river.

Amidst the turbulent river, a colossal alligator snapping turtle rose from the water.

The alligator snapping turtle’s body was layered with scale armor, and its shell bore what seemed like a small mountain. The raging river water constantly turned into waves that crashed against the enormous cruise ship.

Around the alligator snapping turtle, more than ten river-patrolling ferocious monsters encircled the cruise ship. Hundreds, if not thousands of smaller monsters had taken over the entire waterway. Their crimson eyes flickered with a ruthless, man-eating fierceness.

“You dare to kill a river-patrolling monster of River Ji Dragon Palace? What audacity!”

The alligator snapping turtle’s voice was resonant, and the river waves continually crashed against the cruise ship concurrent with its vocal inflections. A hulking metallic creation appearing as a fragile toy in its eyesight.

The alligator snapping turtle’s cultivation had startlingly reached the Early Stage of Qi Training that even within the Cloud Floating Monster Territory it could claim a place in the ranks of Mountain Gods.

Besides its cultivation base, a halo of incense smoke enveloped it, evidently suggesting that it was a worshiped deity of the Aquatic Tribe.

The captain promptly stepped to the deck, fell on his knees, and pleaded to the gigantic alligator snapping turtle.

“This was purely accidental, I beseech you to spare us, Water God.”

“Our boss at Jade Waves Shipping has close ties with Young Master Qiu of the Sunn branch family. If you spare us, the Water God, Jade Waves Shipping will certainly repay you generously!”

“Young Master Qiu? Sunn branch family? A hefty reward?”

The alligator snapping turtle’s crimson eyes glowed, and a presumptuous laugh erupted from its mouth:

“The Sunn Family, except for Sunn Lanyu, is a bunch of idiots. You bring up these inconsequential characters to threaten me?”

A massive turtle paw hit the surface, and the already turbulent waves became even more violent, seeming to capsize the whole cruise ship at any moment.

“Hand over a thousand spirit stones, otherwise everyone on the ship will accompany my general in death!”

“A thousand spirit stones!!”

The captain turned pale when he heard these words.

Even though the frequency of Spirit Energy Tidal Surges increased, resulting in the birth of more and more spirit stone mines, a thousand spirit stones was still a terrifying number.

Even if he sold the entire Jade Waves Shipping, it would still not be possible to amass a thousand spirit stones, let alone for just ransoming the passengers of one ship.

“We’re done for, utterly done for.”

The captain collapsed to the ground, his expression blank.

All the passengers aware of what the spirit stones represented displayed looks of despair, but under the massive pressure of the alligator snapping turtle, they didn’t even have the courage to scream.

Watching this scene, the alligator snapping turtle was very satisfied in its heart.

In reality, threatening the entire ship with perishing in sacrifice for the mere river-patrolling monster was just an excuse to scare these humans. The life of a mere river-patrolling monster was simply not valuable enough for the passengers of such a giant cruise ship to die for.

This place is, after all, within the borders of Great Xia. Collecting a protection fee from passing ships in Cang Province, the Jidu Aquatic Clan was still quite permitted by Great Xia’s Imperial Court.

But if they were to wantonly slaughter, it would surely attract the attention of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau and the Zhennan Army.

This cruise ship was indeed carrying nearly a thousand people from various places in Yun Province, unlike the isolated state of the Cloud Floating Monster Territory.

If all the passengers were to perish here, it would inevitably become a major case that would shock the whole of Great Xia. The Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s Esteemed Emissary might have to intervene.

Even though he was a Great Demon with immense Qi training, he did not want to casually invite such trouble.

His goal, from beginning to end, was only one.

A ferocious smile spread across the scaly massive face. The alligator snapping turtle abruptly changed the subject.

“However, it’s not like you have no chance of surviving.”

The captain’s body jolted upon hearing this, and he hurriedly spoke up.

“Please tell us, we will certainly obey, we will definitely obey!”

“Throw all your belongings into the river. Anyone withholding anything should be thrown overboard.”

Having listened and realizing they could keep their lives, losing some belongings was a trivial matter for the captain. It was not worthy of any hesitation.

“We will obey the Water God’s command.”

“Hold on, the god has one more condition. You can decide after listening to it.” The alligator snapping turtle smiled maliciously,

“I want you to offer these couple who killed my river-patrolling ferocious monster general as a sacrifice to the Evil Yue River God.”

With his remark, all eyes gathered on Xuan Kong and Xuan Le.

No one wanted to die, and offering two irrelevant people to keep their own life was a good thing for everyone.

However, Xuan Le, who was small in stature, stood up, exerting her peak Essence Refining stage aura without reservation. The deck began to crack under her feet.

This kind of power was absolutely hard to resist for an ordinary person, many were fearful and quickly looked away.

However, the alligator snapping turtle did not let Xuan Le have her way. He snorted softly, and the Qi of heaven and earth suppressed the Essence Element in Xuan Le’s body silently.

The girl only felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body. Her knees softened and she knelt on the ground.

The eyes that had retreated because of Xuan Le’s power display suddenly turned malicious again.

Feeling the scrutiny-filled gazes all around her, Xuan Le shouted loudly,

“What do you want to do?”

“My senior brother was seriously injured in killing the ferocious monster. If it weren’t for you guys, we could have escaped!”

From the crowd, someone said softly,

“If the ferocious monster hadn’t been killed, we would have only lost some wealth. Instead, it’s your killing of it that led to the advent of the Water God, it’s all your fault.”

“You provoked the Water God, so you should be the ones to send it away.”

“Since your senior brother has saved us once, wouldn’t it be better to save us again?”

Many people started to step towards the deck. Seeing this, Xuan Kong’s eyes were filled with anger. He tried to use his mana to struggle up but suddenly he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The hit from the river-patrolling ferocious monster had already badly injured him, he couldn’t even use his mana to protect Xuan Le.

On the top deck of the entire cruise ship, Shen Yuan was watching everything helplessly.

Next to him, Xue Mingzhi looked uncomfortable and said quietly,

“The Imperial Astronomical Bureau and the Sunn Family had an agreement that as long as we give up all our belongings, the Aquatic Tribe absolutely wouldn’t kill people on the entire ship.”

“They only meant to scare us, but who knew that these people would actually believe in it.”

Shen Yuan said gravely,

“It’s not that these people believed it, but that the alligator snapping turtle has a divine skill of inciting malicious intent.”

“As long as there’s enough external pressure and threats, he can constantly stimulate the malicious intent of the people, causing them to live-sacrifice others for survival.”

“For a Water God, the benefits of guiding human sacrifices from two cultivators far exceed the assets on this cruise ship.”

Ignoring Xue Mingzhi’s astonished look, Shen Yuan spoke indifferently,

“If this malicious intent divine skill can reach such a level, it must already have caused harm to the area, kill it!”

Before Xue Mingzhi could react, a beautiful and prideful figure appeared at the top of the cruise ship. The Qi of heaven and earth kept gathering around her, almost materializing to interfere with the worldly affairs.

The alligator snapping turtle looked up hurriedly at the beautiful figure. The undisguised peak Qi Training Stage aura filled him with panic.

“Who are you?”

The next moment, a right hand carved out of ice crystal was slowly lifted and pressed towards the void.

The visible QI was transformed into an ice-blue palm in an instant. The giant palm engulfed the sky and fell like a mountain.

Profound magic power·Innate Qigong big capture.

The Evil Yue River God didn’t even have time to react before it was thoroughly frozen by everlasting frost. The surging waves were instantly turned into exquisite ice sculptures. The ice field froze the entire river and spread hundreds of meters away.

Everyone was watching what was happening before them stupefied. Only Xuan Kong, who detected a flickering of Mana, looked into the sky.

At the top of the cruise ship, Gong Buyu was indifferent. It seemed as if she had casually killed an ant, trivial.

Her cold figure turned around and disappeared from Xuan Kong’s sight.
