569: Chapter 569: The Great Witch Kua Fu 569: Chapter 569: The Great Witch Kua Fu “What is that?”
Qin Jun frowned and asked, as the colossal object in front of the magical ship faced away from the moonlight, preventing him from seeing its true form.
But just by the outline of its size, which was akin to a mountain, it likely wasn’t simple.
Within the Demon Clan, the bigger the original body, the stronger it usually was.
“It should be a sea beast, not very intelligent, and it’s foolishly blocking our path,” Nine-headed Insect said with a light chuckle.
If the sea beast had higher intelligence, it would probably have avoided them far away.
After all, there were three Mysterious Immortals of the Taiyi level on the magical ship!
Even the strongest Green Fox King of the Southernmost Sea would have to detour upon meeting them, let alone a sea beast?
The magical ship stopped a kilometer away from the sea beast.
From here, Qin Jun could clearly see its true form: its head was like a silver carp’s, with its lower neck submerged in the sea, its body pitch-black, and two long tentacles on its head with tips sharp as blades.
Its eyes, fierce beyond measure, were as large as a house.
Qin Jun, becoming impatient, snorted coldly, “Nine-headed Insect, deal with it.”
Fighting with a sea beast wouldn’t much enhance his combat experience.
He might as well let Nine-headed Insect quickly remove the obstacle.
Nine-headed Insect was just about to stand up when suddenly, the sound of exploding waves startled everyone to turn and look.
Behind the massive sea beast, an even more immense figure emerged, clearly a giant by its outline.
The sea beast’s fish head only reached the giant’s lower leg.
The dim light made it impossible to discern his face and attire, only his silhouette.
The part of the sea beast above the water was at least five to six hundred zhang tall, but it still looked small in front of the giant.
Hisss—
Everyone, Qin Jun included, drew in a sharp breath and widened their eyes.
This giant was no less than five thousand zhang tall.
Qin Jun couldn’t even see his head, as if it extended into the depths of the starry sky.
“Could it be…”
Qin Jun suddenly became excited, while Nine-headed Insect and Yang Jian looked nervously at the giant.
Even they, in the late stage of Taiyi Mysterious Immortal Realm, felt a chill in their hearts facing the giant.
Zhu Bajie, Tang Sanzang, and Jiang Ziya were drenched in cold sweat, and Liu Ruolai covered her mouth with her hands in fright.
Under the night sky, a mountainous sea beast blocked their path, with an even taller giant behind it.
The scene was incredibly awe-inspiring and horrifyingly eerie.
At that moment, the giant moved.
He grabbed the sea beast by the back of its neck and lifted it straight up.
In an instant, the ocean churned, sending countless waves crashing toward them.
The magical ship, like a tiny boat amidst the tumult, rocked with the waves, and the slaves screamed, grasping anything they could to avoid being thrown into the sea.
Qin Jun could now see the entire form of the sea beast.
Its lower half was bulky like a hippopotamus, and as the giant held it, it roared and struggled, its voice deafening.
“Your Majesty, we must leave quickly.
This giant’s origins are unknown, and his strength is unfathomable.
If we continue to watch, we might run into big trouble,” Nine-headed Insect said anxiously.
Even the proud Yang Jian fell silent.
He was not afraid to fight, but he wasn’t about to make a futile sacrifice.
This giant must have reached the Daluo Realm!
The word ‘Daluo’ weighed heavily on Yang Jian’s heart like a mountain, making it hard for him to breathe.
He hadn’t expected to encounter a Daluo Realm powerhouse in the seemingly insignificant Southernmost Sea.
“Don’t panic!”
Qin Jun gestured with his hand, as this giant must be Kua Fu!
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a clan of giants known as the Kua Fu Tribe.
Furthermore, Qin Jun had just called upon Kua Fu that day.
Was it possible to encounter another Daluo Realm powerhouse by night?
If it were true, even Qin Jun wouldn’t know how to criticize his own luck.
Just then, the giant suddenly tore the sea beast in two, its blood raining down like a torrential downpour into the churning sea.
The scene shocked the slaves on the magical ship.
Even gods and demons like Tang Sanzang clenched their teeth.
Facing this giant, they couldn’t even muster the will to resist in their hearts.
“I am Kua Fu, come to pledge allegiance to His Holiness the Saint Emperor!”
The giant’s voice boomed like thunder, reaching across ten thousand li of the sea area, stirring the countless demonic beasts into a frenzy.
Who is Kua Fu?
And who is the Saint Emperor?
Inside Fox King Island, the Green Fox King who was meditating suddenly stood up, and he exclaimed in horror, “This aura…”
Qin Jun’s eyes lit up with joy, Yang Jian and the others’ eyes widened, they looked at Qin Jun and Kua Fu with faces of disbelief.
Was this Daluo Realm giant here to pledge allegiance to His Majesty?
A sense of surrealism welled up in their hearts, and both Nine-headed Insect and Yang Jian thought of what Qin Jun had said before, that there were beings even more powerful than them under Qin Jun’s command!
Could it be that Kua Fu was one of them?
“I have finally waited for you, Kua Fu.
Can you shrink in size and then come aboard?”
Qin Jun said with a smile, but looking up at Kua Fu made him feel quite awkward.
Upon hearing this, Kua Fu leapt up, causing monstrous waves to rise, his form rapidly shrinking as he passed through the cascading sea water and quickly landed on the deck, startling Yang Jian and the others who hastily prepared for battle.
Even though this person had come to pay homage to Qin Jun, his cultivation was too profound and enigmatic, and they had to be on guard.
Once the distance was closed, Qin Jun could see Kua Fu’s true face.
He was one zhang tall, equivalent to more than three meters, his body all muscle, wearing pants made of animal skin that only covered to the knees, and the upper body’s feathered leather could only cover half the chest, exposing a chest muscle as solid as steel.
Brown hair tied with a straw rope at the back of his waist, his sharp cheekbones framed by thick brows and piercing eyes, exuding an aura of unspoken anger and seriousness without a trace of levity.
The man from the legends, who chased after the sun and died, Kua Fu!
Qin Jun, barely containing his excitement, approached Kua Fu and laughed, “With your aid, it’s indeed like having an extra limb!”
Kua Fu’s loyalty was at eighty, so Qin Jun naturally wasn’t worried about him harboring any malice towards himself.
Only when loyalty fell to zero would there be a possibility of rebellion.
“Your Majesty exaggerates.”
Kua Fu said softly, barely able to force a smile with his ever-serious demeanor.
Throughout the entire time, Kua Fu hadn’t even glanced at Yang Jian and Nine-headed Insect, and not to mention characters like Tang Sanzang — they were simply not worth his notice.
Be it in terms of strength or age, Kua Fu far surpassed them and had every right to be proud.
“Continue forward!”
Qin Jun turned back and commanded, then he took Kua Fu toward the upper level of the magical ship, ready to have a heart-to-heart talk with Kua Fu and work on their relationship.
Yang Jian and the others fell silent, and even after Qin Jun and Kua Fu entered the building, they hadn’t snapped back to reality.
Zhu Bajie sidled up to Nine-headed Insect and said, “Don’t you like to fight?
Go challenge him!”
Nine-headed Insect rolled his eyes and snorted, “Do you believe I’ll beat you up?”
“Tch!
Bullying the weak!”
Zhu Bajie wisely backed down.
Tang Sanzang watched as Kua Fu walked away, muttering, “Kua Fu?
Isn’t that the Great Witch from ancient times?”
Yang Jian clenched his fists even tighter.
Those among the God and Demon with memories of their past lives had all heard of the legend of Kua Fu.
Before the Human Clan dominated heaven and earth, it was an era of power struggle between the Witch and Demon Clans, during which Kua Fu was the second-generation Great Witch of the Witch Clan, so it was only natural that he possessed the cultivation of the Daluo Realm.
But Yang Jian still felt a pang of discontent; he understood that from this night onwards, he was no longer the strongest being under Qin Jun’s command.
