The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

122. The Tragedy of East Sun Demon

Translator: Joy

The three of them stared at one another speechlessly for a long time. In the end, it was Carendra that reacted fastest.

“What do you think we should do?” Carendra knew the identity of the God of Books. Even though he was surprised by what the latter had said, he had no doubts in those words because in the current situation, God of Books had no reason to lie. Perhaps if they followed what the God of Books had said, the Sura Family could escape from this calamity.

Seeing Carendra’s reaction, the God of Books nodded as he pointed to the God of Bad Luck next to him and said: “Do you know its origins?”

When the God of Books pointed at the God of Bad Luck, it immediately held its head high and puffed out its chest even though no one could tell where its chest was.

After he said that, several people immediately turned their gaze toward the God of Bad Luck.

The latter was like a blueish black glutinous rice ball and even if they didn’t deliberately try to feel it, they could still sense the negative emotions emanating from it. Negative emotions of this degree were a rarity in the world but at this moment, no one could remember what creature had this type of appearance.

The God of Books saw that they couldn’t figure out what it was and was just about to say the answer when an uncertain voice asked.

“It… Is it the God of Bad Luck from the legends?”

They all immediately turned to the person who had spoken and were astonished. Carendra Thunder, who wasn’t used to the people’s stares scratched his head and said: “I saw it in one of the books that our family has. In the world, there is a spiritual creature that’s known as the God of Bad Luck and its outer appearance looks like that of a blueish black glutinous rice ball.  In the legends, if it attaches to someone, they would suffer from bad luck for the rest of their lives and nothing they do will be successful, unless it leaves by itself.”

“It seems you’re quite knowledgeable.” The God of Books praised as he smiled.

Carendra Thunder smiled humbly. He wasn’t like his two younger brothers as he was rather soft-spoken and would only occasionally show his other side. For example, in a life or death situation, he had to be a man that could take charge or else he would be a burden on the Sura Family which was something he never wanted to be.

As for why he knew about the God of Bad Luck, it was because he had seen it by chance before. Although the Sura Family was declining, they still had a large collection of books a lot of which were passed down from long ago and recorded information that no one else knew about. In addition to cultivation, Carendra Thunder would occasionally go looking for books to read in his free time which was why he knew more than most people!

“So, you’re saying that we could attach the God of Bad Luck to the  East Sun Demon’s body?” After hearing his eldest brother’s explanation, Carendra immediately understood the God of Books’ intentions. If that really was the case, then it would be a good idea. However, an expert of the fifth grade of the God Sovereign realm was no ordinary cultivator and he didn’t know whether it would discover or not.

The God of Books seemed to have seen through his doubts and explained: “You don’t have to worry. The God of Bad Luck is not like any ordinary spiritual creature as it’s been alive for several hundred thousand years and there is no match. A trivial expert of the fifth grade of the God Sovereign realm won’t be able to discover it. Even if it is discovered, he has no way of getting rid of the God of Bad Luck. As long as you are able to kill the East Sun Demon, you don’t have to worry about the others. Regarding those Pterosaurs, the Sky Breaking Beast and Hairless Chicken will take care of them!”

“Okay, let’s go with that!” Carendra took a deep breath. Originally, they had about a twenty percent chance of succeeding but now with the God of Bad Luck, he felt that the Sura Family had about a fifty percent chance of winning. It truly was timely assistance and they were lucky that Feng Xi had left them behind.

As soon as they had finished talking, the East Sun Demon who was above them couldn’t wait anymore. They hadn’t responded yet, and his expression turned dark as if black ink was dripping down his face. He coldly said: “Since you won’t hand him over, then I’ll slaughter everyone in the Sura Family. We’ll see if you will hand him over or not!”

As his voice sounded, the Hoare Family’s team shouted and like a school of carps swimming downstream, they flooded forth from the backs of the Pterosaurs, each emanating bloodlust. The battlefield was a spectacular sight to see. There were about ten experts of the God King realm. The others weren’t in the God King realm but most of them were at the seventh or eighth grade of the God Heaven realm and none of them seemed weak!

In contrast, the Sura Family only had about ten experts of the God King realm and one against two would cause them to lose very quickly. People who understood the Sura Family’s situation weren’t optimistic, but no one had any intention of leaving. All of them seemed excited as it was rare to see a fight on this scale. However, once they saw a black figure blocking the East Sun Demon, they were immediately dumbstruck!

An expert at the second grade of the God Sovereign realm versus an expert of the fifth grade of the God Sovereign realm. Did he think that he alone was enough to stop the East Sun Demon?

Beside them, the East Sun Demon was also stunned but then his expression sank. He snorted: “A junior who doesn’t know the immense difference between us thinks that he can stop me by himself. You’re looking for death!” As soon as he finished talking, he flung his large sleeves and an icy cold light flew out and barreled toward Carendra.

However, what was the most shocking was that Carendra did not even dodge. Just when everyone thought that the cold light was going to hit him, the light suddenly curved away, as if someone had twisted it. It flew right past Carendra, not harming a single hair on his body.

The battlefield completely went silent and the onlookers were all speechless ……

Did the East Sun Demon miss?

No one believed that the East Sun Demon would miss at such a critical moment, but the evidence was right in front of their eyes. If he had accidentally missed, then was he showing mercy toward the Sura Family? However, this explanation was even more unlikely because the people who were acquainted with the East Sun Demon all knew that the geezer was ruthless to the point where he couldn’t even tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes. For people that he considered a thorn in his side, as long as they were in the northern territories, they would need to be prepared to be chased to the ends of the earth!

Like the others, the East Sun Demon also didn’t believe what he saw, and his inner shock was no less.

How could he not know his own moves? He had clearly aimed accurately, so how did he miss? The East Sun Demon didn’t believe it but this situation could only be explained by a slip of hand. Perhaps he was so angry before that he couldn’t tell whether he missed or not. However, this next one certainly wouldn’t miss. His eyes were full of hatred as he definitely wouldn’t let this situation happen a second time.

As if he was trying to prove that he had missed because of anger, the East Sun Demon’s aura erupted from his entire body as a large steel blade suddenly appeared in his hand. He raised the blade while angrily yelling: “Earth Splitter!”

The powerful force that looked like it could split heaven and the earth suddenly rushed toward Carendra and the expressions on the onlookers’ faces changed slightly. No wonder he was the famous East Sun Demon, and his second move was the Earth Splitter. There was no way the man in the black cloak could withstand a full-on attack from a fifth grade God Sovereign realm expert!

However, everyone’s eyes almost bulged out of their heads again. A few meters from the man in the black cloak, the East Sun Demon’s Earth Splitter curved up toward the sky like the cold beam of light from before. Since the attack never struck its target, the momentum and energy that it contained could only dissipate in the sky.

It missed twice in a row! With the East Sun Demon’s power, he shouldn’t have made the same mistake twice.

“No, it’s impossible. It’s definitely your mean trick, you vile junior. What did you do? Why is it like this?” The East Sun Demon was snapped out of his shock and glared at Carendra. His eyes were bloodshot, and it looked like he was about to lose his mind.

Roars rumbled over from the horizon as the Pterosaurs and the Saint realm Demon Beasts had already started fighting. However, no one paid any attention as most people were attracted to the strange situation of the East Sun Demon. Before long, news of this situation would spread through the northern territories.

After he had yelled, the people finally turned their attention to the man in the black cloak who was fighting the East Sun Demon alone. From beginning to end, his expression had been very calm. Even when the East Sun Demon had attacked him, he didn’t move an inch as if he had already predicted the situation beforehand. The circumstances were so strange that he made people wonder if he actually had done something. However, was this sort of thing possible?

What type of ability could cause someone’s opponent’s attack to fail? This ability was simply unprecedented and unheard of!

“Humph, what do I have to do with your bad luck? Even if I have something to do with it, what can you do about it?” Carendra coldly said. The black pupils full of coldness reflected the rage of the East Sun Demon. However, the God of Bad Luck was lying on his head, but besides them, nobody else could see it.

His first sentence emphasized his innocence, but the latter of his words couldn’t help but make people doubt. Did he really do something?

Due to what Carendra had said, the East Sun Demon’s words were stuck in his throat. Indeed, although his intuition told him that he had caused this, there was not a single bit of evidence. No matter whether Carendra did it or not, he could only swallow his words. However, if this situation continued, then no one would say they had won today. Sooner or later the Hoare Family would become a laughingstock in the northern territories, so he had to do all he could to save this situation.

“I don’t believe that your luck will last. Sura Family’s junior, try and block my strongest attack!” After the East Sun Demon finished shouting, the sky was suddenly covered in dark clouds as lightning flashed through them. When it met the large steel blade, the thunder cloud sent tremors through the people’s hearts as the twisted face shouted: “Earth Swallower!”

With the power of thunder, the strength of the steel blade shook the heavens as it fell. Its destructive power caused everyone’s hearts to suddenly tremble.

However, when this power curved around Carendra, he who had been calm, suddenly paled. He turned his head and saw that the steel blade emitting the destructive force was rushing toward the valley where most of the weaker disciples of the Sura Family were gathered…
