Chapter 126

Kunpeng?

Hearing Mo Guang's soft exclamation of "Kunpeng," Zhang Xingyu was also greatly startled.

Kunpeng was a divine beast from ancient Chinese mythology. Zhuangzi once recorded in "Zhuangzi: Free and Easy Wandering": "In the Northern Darkness there is a fish, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so huge, I do not know how many thousands of li it is; it transforms into a bird, and its name is Peng. The back of the Peng is, I do not know how many thousands of li it is. When it rouses itself and flies, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky."

How similar this sea bird called Kunpeng was to Zhuangzi's description.

Today, he had actually seen the legendary ancient divine beast, the Kunpeng.

Just as Zhang Xingyu was examining the Kunpeng carefully, Mo Guang was gnashing his teeth.

It turned out that the Kunpeng fed on flood dragons and was the natural enemy of all flood dragons.

Unless a flood dragon transformed into a true dragon, encountering a Kunpeng meant becoming a delicacy in the Kunpeng's belly.

On the deck, several sea demon princes were stunned into speechlessness.

On the deck, Bai Yujing was so frightened that her face turned pale.

On the deck, Yun Feiyang drew the long sword from his back.

And Zhang Xingyu, with his hands behind his back, watched with a face full of smiles.

The Kunpeng flew to the front of the merchant ship, transformed into a big man in green clothes, and landed on the deck.

"Luck is not bad today. Unexpectedly, besides a few small fry, there is actually a flood dragon here," the Kunpeng laughed.

He took two steps forward, and the sea demon princes retreated several steps.

The manager of the Taichang Merchant Alliance also pulled Yun Feiyang and Bai Yujing to retreat behind the sea demon princes.

Only one guy neither retreated nor felt afraid, just looking straight at the Kunpeng.

This person was naturally the protagonist, Zhang Xingyu.

So, the Kunpeng's human form is no different from anyone else's, Zhang Xingyu thought to himself.

The Kunpeng walked up to Zhang Xingyu and looked him over with surprise.

Was this person scared silly, or was he truly bold?

Others were trembling with fear when they saw him. But this person acted as if he hadn't seen him at all.

No, it was as if he wasn't afraid of him at all.

"Are you not afraid of me?"

The Kunpeng stared at Zhang Xingyu and asked loudly.

"Why should I be afraid of you?" Zhang Xingyu asked in return.

"Are you not afraid that I will eat you?" the Kunpeng asked again.

"Eat me? Don't you feed on flood dragons? Why would you eat me?" Zhang Xingyu asked again.

The Kunpeng was speechless.

"I eat flood dragons, but I also eat other demon beasts and humans," the Kunpeng said.

Zhang Xingyu stared at him for a moment, shook his head, and said: "You've already transformed into a human, yet you still want to eat people? That's a bit too heavy-handed, isn't it?"

The Kunpeng was stunned by what he said.

The Kunpeng thought to himself, this human is most likely sick.

He stopped paying attention to Zhang Xingyu and walked straight toward the several sea demon princes.

The several sea demon princes were trembling all over with fear.

"Lord Kunpeng, if you want to eat, just eat Mo Guang. He is a flood dragon, his meat is the most delicious," the Xuanwu prince said to the Kunpeng.

"Yes, yes, yes, Lord Kunpeng, just eat Mo Guang. We are not flood dragons, and our meat doesn't taste good, so please spare us," the other sea demon princes also pleaded with the Kunpeng.

Mo Guang did not open his mouth to beg for mercy.

He knew that the Kunpeng would not let him go no matter what.

His trouser legs were a bit damp.

The sea breeze blew, making him feel waves of chill.

The Kunpeng, however, did not look at him again.

In the Kunpeng's eyes, Mo Guang was already a dish on his table.

The Kunpeng looked at Yun Feiyang.

"Human, do you not want to beg for mercy?" the Kunpeng asked Yun Feiyang.

"Would it be useful?" Yun Feiyang gripped his flying sword and asked in return.

The Kunpeng looked at Bai Yujing.

"Human beauty, what about you? Do you not want to beg for mercy?" the Kunpeng asked.

Bai Yujing did not answer.

The Kunpeng was somewhat surprised.

"Human beauty, as long as you beg me, I won't eat you," the Kunpeng said again.

"Unless you release me and my Senior Brother together, otherwise, I will not beg you," Bai Yujing replied.

The Kunpeng laughed.

"Releasing you both, that is impossible," the Kunpeng said.

The sword light on the flying sword in Yun Feiyang's hand flickered.

"No use talking more. Junior Sister, let's fight him," Yun Feiyang said to Bai Yujing.

He brandished his long sword and charged up.

Unfortunately, before he could get close to the Kunpeng, he was kicked into the sea by the Kunpeng.

"Senior Brother."

Bai Yujing was very anxious.

She wanted to jump into the sea to save him, but was frozen in place by the Kunpeng with a single finger.

The Kunpeng grabbed the manager of the Taichang Merchant Alliance who was trying to escape, and then turned and walked toward the several sea demon princes.

"Don't, don't eat me. Let me go," the Tuntian prince cried and begged.

Who knew, the Kunpeng scooped him up with his hand and sent him into his mouth.

The Kunpeng didn't even chew, swallowing the Tuntian prince, skin and bones, into his belly.

Poor Tuntian prince, who had swallowed countless things in his life, was swallowed in one gulp by the Kunpeng as food.

Is this what they call the cycle of karma?

After eating the Tuntian prince, the Kunpeng grabbed the Xuanwu prince again.

Poor Xuanwu prince hadn't even had time to retract his head and feet into his shell before he was swallowed by the Kunpeng.

A moment later, except for Mo Guang, all the sea demon princes and the Taichang Merchant Alliance manager had been stuffed into the Kunpeng's mouth as snacks.

The Kunpeng looked at Mo Guang.

Mo Guang was already in despair.

He knew that his final moment had arrived.

If there is a next life, I absolutely do not want to be a flood dragon again.

If there is a next life, I must become a creature that even the Kunpeng fears.

If there is a next life...

Countless "if there is a next life" thoughts flashed through Mo Guang's mind.

Unfortunately, the next life is not to be expected, and his life in this one was about to end.

The Kunpeng slowly extended his left hand.

Mo Guang helplessly closed his eyes.

He was grabbed by the neck by the Kunpeng.

Seeing stars, breathing became difficult.

At the very moment he was about to lose consciousness, he heard an arrogant voice.

"Although this four-legged snake is very lecherous and very annoying, but if you want to eat him, have you asked his owner?"

The one who said this was none other than the boss of the Crab Leg Trading Firm, Zhang Xingyu.

At this very moment, he was holding a one-foot-long recurve bow in his hand, with a small red arrow nocked on the string.

The Kunpeng stopped his actions upon hearing this.

He looked at Zhang Xingyu and laughed loudly: "Really funny. You think using a short bow can pose a threat to me? Such a small bow of yours, shooting at me, would at most be scratching an itch."

Zhang Xingyu also laughed.

"Do you want to try the power of this bow?" Zhang Xingyu asked.

"Trying it, so what? I'll stand right here, let you shoot as you please, let's see what you can do to me," the Kunpeng said.

After speaking, the Kunpeng threw Mo Guang onto the ground and then puffed out his chest.

"Come, shoot here," the Kunpeng said to Zhang Xingyu, patting his chest.

Zhang Xingyu nodded and aimed the arrow at the Kunpeng's chest.

"Come, hurry up, don't dawdle," the Kunpeng urged.

"Courting death."

Zhang Xingyu gently released the small red arrow he was holding.

The small arrow glowed with red light and instantly pierced through the Kunpeng's chest.

The Kunpeng looked at Zhang Xingyu in disbelief.

"This is impossible?" he said softly.

This sentence sounded as much like a question to Zhang Xingyu as it did to himself.
