Chapter 83: I’ve Never Seen Such a Request, so of Course I Have to Grant It

I’ve never encountered a request like this before.

Ning Bei’s lips curled into a cold sneer.

In the next instant he channeled the lightning within his body, forced it into the cannon barrel, and gathered a blinding arc of electricity at the muzzle.

Boom!

In a split second the entire world filled with rolling thunder.

“What?”

Seeing this, the Xuanmo Sect cultivators froze for a moment.

Did that cannon seem a bit too powerful?

“I’m gonna shoot you right in the face!”

Ning Bei let out a furious roar.

Before the leading man could react, he squeezed the trigger, and in an instant a dazzling lightning shell blasted toward them at thunderous speed.

While it flew, its immense force seemed to tear the air apart, unleashing a piercing roar.

“Crap.”

At that moment the leader sensed disaster.

That cannon was actually a magical artifact?

Bang…

Before the dozen men could even respond, the shell reached them in the blink of an eye and erupted with terrifying power.

“Ah…”

Wails of agony burst forth.

A thick pillar of lightning blasted up from the ground beneath them, even stirring anomalies in the heavens.

Under such horrific slaughter their voices were snuffed out, and in an instant the lightning reduced them to dust.

“Holy crap!”

Ning Bei blinked in shock.

He stared at the plain-looking cannon barrel in his hands, truly astonished. “This thing can one-shot even Divine Transformation Realm experts… that’s totally broken!”

[A system product is guaranteed to be top quality!]

Ning Bei chuckled.

With the flying cloud skiff’s practicality and this turret’s might, it matched the guardian treasures of the better sects in the Xusheng Realm.

This was a trump card that allowed him both to fight and to flee!

He could trade just a few million Revenge Points for something this overpowered; Ning Bei could hardly imagine what the tens of millions or even billions-point items in the System Shop were like.

How terrifying would those be?

As this thought crossed his mind, a bold idea sprang up, but before he could speak the system broke down first…

[Stop milking me, Host, please stop; I’m completely drained.]

Ning Bei: “…”

[Warning, Host, activate defenses.]

“Hm?”

Ning Bei’s pupils shrank.

A mass of black fog rushed toward him, within which countless skeletal phantoms clawed and thrashed, and a tremendous power descended…

Peak Divine Transformation Realm!

The newcomer’s strength far surpassed that of the earlier dozen.

Ning Bei dared not underestimate him; he quickly poured lightning into the turret and pulled the defensive trigger on the left.

Zzz…

The muzzle fired a curtain toward the sky that unfolded at lightning speed, wrapping the entire skiff in a thunder barrier.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Countless skeletal phantoms slammed into the lightning shield, detonating deafening booms, while endless wails and sobs rang out.

The sound made his scalp tingle, like human weeping.

“Little brat, you have chosen the path of death!”

A hoarse voice echoed over.

When the fog dispersed, hundreds of figures appeared ahead.

At their head stood an emaciated elder leaning on a staff, looking like a walking corpse, and behind him were people wearing the same robes as the earlier group.

“Xuanmo Sect?”

Ning Bei’s eyes narrowed.

“You dare not kneel and worship when faced with our Xuanmo Patriarch?”

“Outrageous! You dare attack the Xuanmo Sect. So what if you can fight? Out in the world it’s background that counts.”

…

The elder raised his hand to silence them, fixed his cloudy eyes on Ning Bei, and said, “Brat, you killed more than 10 Xuanmo Sect elders without cause. No matter which faction you belong to, you owe us an explanation for such bullying.”

“An explanation?”

Ning Bei chuckled at those words.

While covertly feeding power into the mystic cannon, he tried to stall for time. “They blocked my path first; I only defended myself. How is that bullying?”

“They blocked you because they wanted to be good hosts and invite you in!”

“Exactly. You didn’t even ask and just shot them. Do you casually shoot like that all the time?”

“Our Patriarch is giving you a chance; don’t refuse a toast only to drink forfeit.”

In an instant countless voices surged at him.

The elder smiled, his expression sinister and eerie. “Little brat, this old man wishes to form a benevolent bond with you today. Are you willing?”

“What kind of bond?” Ning Bei chatted along happily.

“You look extraordinary, with an outstanding aura and peerless talent… clearly no ordinary person,” the elder flattered before continuing, “Though you killed many of my Xuanmo Sect experts, this old man truly cherishes talent. Why don’t you come down and we’ll talk?”

“Come down?” Ning Bei feigned innocence, playing dumb. “How do I know you’re not tricking me off the skiff so you can kill me and steal my treasure more easily?”

“Have you not heard that the Xuanmo Patriarch’s word is law?”

“Our Patriarch is being benevolent today and wants to turn hostility into harmony. You’d better know what’s good for you.”

“Yeah, do you really think that toy can protect you?”

…

Seeing hesitation on Ning Bei’s face, the elder goaded him with anticipation. “Little brat, you are no frog in a well. I admire talent… what’s wrong, do you roam the world alone yet lack even this bit of courage?”

“Let me think about it, okay!”

Ning Bei pretended to struggle, wearing a contemplative look.

A moment later, he suddenly looked up with a smile. “Alright.”

“Oh?”

The black-robed elder’s eyes lit up, and delight surfaced in his murky pupils.

Was the boy really this stupid?

Click…

Suddenly Ning Bei swung the cannon around and aimed it at the hundreds of people.

“?”

The crowd was stunned at the sight.

The elder’s smile vanished and he raised an eyebrow. “Brat, didn’t you just agree… what is the meaning of this?”

“That’s right!”

Ning Bei looked utterly harmless. “I was charging up; what were you waiting for?”

“Charging up?”

The elder immediately questioned reality.

By now even an idiot could see that Ning Bei had never been fooled; he had been charging a big move.

They had been played.

Snap!

Ning Bei snapped his fingers, his grin growing manic, “Then, the hunting time begins now!”
