The Boss Behind The Game

Chapter 134: Half Ghost Emperor

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The Sea King found it rather perplexing that Tong Gua had claimed ownership of the Liuli Coast.

The collection of protection fees had always revolved around the stronger party receiving it from a weaker party. However, when both parties’ abilities were evenly matched, that would make it a difficult task.

“Fine, since Liuli is now your territory, I’ll do you a favor. Forget about the Yin souls!”

Tong Gua smiled upon hearing it. However, as he was about to make a reply, the Sea King seemed to be anticipating something.

“Tong Gua, I heard that you’re the incarnation of Beiqi’s Guardian Spirit. I’ve always wanted to know how strong you are. Since I’m here today, how about we have a duel?”

The smile on Tong Gua’s face stiffened after hearing what he said.

“Err… forget about the duel. I’m quite lazy, so I don’t really enjoy fighting.”

“We can’t just forget about it, it’s been a long time since I have encountered an evenly matched opponent. Now that I’ve met you, I must grab the opportunity.”

The Sea King then pointed his finger toward the coast, “Let’s do it by the coast, since it would be inconvenient to fight in your territory.”

Tong Gua swore silently in his heart. If he refused to fight, he would raise the Sea King’s suspicion.

So, he simply coughed and replied, “Lord Sea King, to tell you the truth, I’m consolidating my cultivations recently, to ascend into the realm of Ghost Emperors. At this stage, it is better if I don’t use force.”

“Ghost Emperor?” the Sea King looked surprised when he heard it.

The realm of Ghost Emperors could only be attained by powerful men, who were at the level of His Excellency. Yet, he did not doubt Tong Gua’s words. After all, he heard that Ghost King Tong Gua had reached his peak for many years, it would not be surprising if he was already halfway toward becoming a Ghost Emperor now.

“Very well! I shall come and duel with you next time!”

The Sea King seemed rather solemn when he realized that Tong Gua was almost a Ghost Emperor already.

“Sure, next time,” Tong Gua replied calmly.

The Sea King abandoned the thought of ??challenging him, and slammed his right foot onto the ground to propel his body into the sky.

“Boom!”

“Ah!”

As the Sea King made his landing, he created a massive crater on the ground. Tong Gua, who was standing by the side, lost his balance and fell onto the ground.

Displeased, Tong Gua immediately patted his wings and stood up. However, a drop of cold sweat fell from his forehead, as he realized that the Sea King was floating in the sky and looking confusingly at him.

When the players around them saw what happened, they could not help covering their faces. He almost successfully completed his act, yet he could not balance himself in the end.

Tong Gua merely remained silent as he stared at the Sea King.

Then, he laughingly said, “Lord Sea King, why are you still around? Didn’t I say it already? We will have our challenge next time.”

The Sea King merely kept mum. Suddenly, he lifted his right foot and stamped it in the air.

Instantly, an explosion thundered through the air, as a huge airstream gyrated from the sky and drilled viciously downward.

The players below instantly fell down under the impact of the powerful air currents, and even Tong Gua fell flat on his face.

“Tong Gua! Did you lose the results of your cultivation?” the Sea King could already guess by looking at the situation.

Tong Gua awkwardly rose to his feet and replied, “How could it be? You’re my guest from afar. Would you believe it if I said I was acting to please you when I fell?

Tong Gua’s explanation made the players around cover their faces in shame again. Did the Big Goose think that the Sea King was an idiot?

The Sea King seemed unconvinced. In order to confirm it, he reached out and grabbed Tong Gua. Tong Gua simply could not resist the overwhelming force and was sucked into the sky.

“You really did lose them. Tong Gua, how did you actually end up like this?”

Tong Gua trembled in fear, but he still stubbornly mumbled in a low voice, “I really… did not lose my cultivation.”

“Tong Gua, it’s the law of the jungle in the underworld, for the strong to feast on the weak. Now that you have lost your cultivation, you would serve as a great tonic. You can’t blame me for it,” the Sea King looked pleasantly surprised.

“So what? Since you have lost your cultivation, then your soul flesh would greatly help me in becoming the Ghost Emperor. Why can’t I devour you?” while saying so, the Sea King grabbed Tong Gua who was hovering in the air.

Then, the Sea King swiftly zoomed toward the coast, as Tong Gua’s sad tears were scattered in the air.

The players below were rendered speechless at this scene…

“Looks like the crisis is gone?”

“Looks like it.”

“That means we will be fine, right?”

“Everyone, dismiss. Go and do what you must.”

After that, the players left, one by one. As for Tong Gua’s destiny, they were not worried at all. In fact, they felt rather happy about it.

After all, this unscrupulous NPC had always been fooling them, which made them rather displeased.

The sea creatures at the coast roared and greeted the Sea King upon seeing his arrival.

After jumping onto the back of the giant whale, the Sea King put Tong Gua down. However, his eyes were still full of astonishment.

Although Tong Gua had lost his cultivation, the Sea King believed that Tong Gua was much more precious than millions of Yin souls. He was still the best tonic.

Meanwhile, Tong Gua seemed extremely bitter and stared at the Sea King resentfully.

“Lord Sea King, we’re old friends after all. You are too unethical.”

“Unethical? Don’t you know the law of the jungle? The weak will always be the prey of the stronger party.”

The Sea King shook his head helplessly, as he suddenly found Tong Gua really embarrassing. Compared to his powerful image as the Spirit Guardian of the Land of Beiqi that the Sea King had remembered, he seemed completely different now.

The Sea King waved his arm, causing the seawater by the coast to condense and form a huge wave, as the entire sea creature army retreated from the coast.

Many players, who came to watch the scene on the coast out of curiosity, saw this and waved farewell happily at Tong Gua from a distance.

Tong Gua’s resentment grew as he secretly grit his teeth. Don’t let me go back, or I will surely seek revenge!

Tong Gua suddenly felt a warm current in his body while he was angry. Then, a layer of green energy appeared on the surface of his body, so he kept staring.

Tong Gua was in tears when he felt that he had regained his powers. He could feel that this time, he had achieved half of a Ghost Emperor’s power.

Tong Gua’s appearance gradually changed.

Then, he turned over and stood on the back of the giant whale, as he leered at the Sea King mockingly.

“Sea King, I treated you with courtesy, yet you were so aggressive. Don’t blame me for being cruel this time.”

The Sea King turned his head around in confusion to look at Tong Gua. He could not understand how Tong Gua could suddenly change, even though he was on the ground gritting his teeth a while ago.

“Take my Celestial Crane Kick!”

Tong Gua’s launched both of his feet and ruthlessly kicked the Sea King’s face. The Sea King was immediately launched from the back of the giant whale, like a cannonball.

After regaining his senses, the Sea King instantly slammed his palms backward to stabilize himself in the air.

However, Tong Gua’s arrogant laugh echoed from behind.

“Sea King, you little punk, eat my double-wing face slap!”

The Sea King turned around immediately and roared, thrusting a powerful punch at his opponent.

Although it was a mighty punch, it could not penetrate the green energy around Tong Gua’s body, merely creating a few ripples.

Tong Gua sneered loudly as he fluttered his wings.

“Tong Gua’s first move, Celestial Crane Wing Attack!”

His wings instantly transformed into thousands of phantoms, constantly hitting the Sea King’s face just like spinning wheels.

This force was extremely overpowering. The Sea King yelled and wanted to resist, but the Shield Oceanic Power around his body broke in less than three seconds as the attacks rained on his face.

“Roar!” at this moment, the Sea King slammed his right arm forward and hit Tong Gua again.

Although the attack caused no damage, the Sea King managed to escape Tong Gua’s thousand-winged combo using the thrust.

However, before the Sea King could stabilize his body in the air, Tong Gua fluttered his wings and appeared in front of him again.

“Tong Gua’s second move, Crazy Fling!”

Tong Gua held the Sea King’s arm and threw him over his shoulder. Then, he instantly flew and caught up with the Sea King, before grabbing his arm again and flinging him over his shoulder.

As he was thrown around continuously, the Sea King’s figure turned into a blurry rotating shadow that was constantly rolling in the air.

“Tong Gua’s third move, Phantom Kick!”

Tong Gua kicked the Sea King around in the air like a ball using his rapid movement.

The Sea King felt bitter as he was being beaten up. Is it really fun for you to pretend to be weak? So he was really acting when he fell last time. Why didn’t I appreciate it, I regret it now…

The feeling of being beaten up reminded him of the King of Beiqi, as his heart suddenly felt heavy.

The players who saw the scene on the coast were stunned. Some players immediately opened the streaming forum and broadcast the fight.

Soon, a large number of players entered the live broadcast channel. They were all surprised when they saw the scene.

“Is Big Goose so amazing? He could actually beat a Ghost King?”

“When this guy was drunk previously, he told me that someone like the Sea King wasn’t worthy of being his opponent at all. He even mentioned beating up all the Ghost Kings in the Land of Beiqi before, he was not lying after all…”

“Big Goose really put up a good act this time. Sure enough, you can’t mess with those who leave it to fate, as exemplified by Ye Chen.”
