Chapter 91: Chapter 92 Imagination (4/5)
“Brother Wang, are you sure you didn’t get it wrong?”
Mo Yang doubted he had heard correctly, this brother he had just met actually wanted to go to Dishui County, and combining it with what he had just done, he didn’t need to think too hard to know the reason why.
“I said I want to go to Dishui County to join in on the fun, I’m not talking nonsense.”
Now he was certain, it wasn’t that he had heard wrong.
Mo Yang and his underlings had odd expressions on their faces.
“Brother Wang, although I know you’re strong, that Evil Flood Dragon is at the Grandmaster Level, which is a completely different concept from non-Grandmaster Level Martial Artists.”
“That’s exactly why I want to go and see for myself, Grandmaster Level, those are rare to come by.”
He had already made preparations, “Cloud Wings” was his trump card.
According to those miscellaneous notes, Grandmaster Level didn’t have the means to fly, unless they were Demon Beasts capable of flight by nature.
The Evil Flood Dragon, though called a “Flood Dragon,” was really just self-flattering.
A true Flood Dragon, while not like a True Dragon, could still utilise simple wind and rain calling.
The Evil Flood Dragon clearly lacked that level of ability.
Having Cloud Wings ensured his safety.
What’s more, there was new intelligence that a Grandmaster had made a full retreat; this “fun” was definitely something he wanted to witness.
Mo Yang knew Wang Sheng was strong, but since Wang Sheng hadn’t shown any Grandmaster Level techniques, he assumed he was at most a Ninth Grade Martial Artist.
He felt that Wang Sheng definitely wanted to go because he couldn’t stand to ignore the plight of the people in Dishui and Yong’an counties.
“Brother Wang, I can’t compare to you!”
“?”
Seeing Mo Yang’s moved expression, Wang Sheng knew he had been misunderstood.
The man must think he was sacrificing himself for others.
But the actual reason he was willing to go was that his strength had increased, and he had a method of retreat. If he really had been willing to sacrifice himself for others, he would have confronted the Green Flood Dragon Gang the first time he saw them capturing people.
“I think you might have misunderstood something, I…”
“If that’s the case, then I shall risk my life alongside a hero. Brother Wang, I’ll go with you, and as for you guys…” Mo Yang looked towards his underlings, “you better leave quickly. Go to Dongfeng City, and I’ll find you when this is all over!”
The risk of going to Dishui County and saving the people was not the same concept, and this was his own decision; he wouldn’t let others undertake such risks with him.
“Big Brother…”
His underlings still wanted to say something.
“No need to say more, there’s no use you all going together; I’m at least a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist, if you go, you’ll only be cannon fodder. If you still recognize me as your big brother, then leave quickly.”
Having said that, the underlings knew they couldn’t persuade him any further, so they could only split up.
After those underlings had left, Wang Sheng looked at Mo Yang who was beside him, with a determined look in his eyes, feeling somewhat helpless.
You say your underlings will be sent off as fodder, aren’t you, a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist, just the same facing a Grandmaster Level Evil Flood Dragon?
But this was Mo Yang’s own decision, and it wasn’t appropriate to send him away; he found such a person foolish, yet he couldn’t help admiring him.
“When the time comes, I won’t be looking out for others, Brother Mo, so you better be mentally prepared, haha!”
“Don’t worry. I might not be good at other things, but I do have ways to save my skin.”
“Alright, then let’s go together.”
In the end, Wang Sheng and Mo Yang set out together, both mounting Dabai’s back.
“Brother Mo, do you know the direction to Yong’an County?”
“I do. Are you thinking of using the same method to rescue the people in Yong’an County?”
Wang Sheng said with a smile, “Of course, since we’re going to Dishui County, why worry about that?”
“Then let’s head this way.”
“Dabai!”
The two set off towards Yong’an County, but when they reached the road to the county, they discovered the situation was different from Lushui County.
Most of the people from Yong’an County had already scattered and fled.
They encountered fleeing civilians and discovered, upon questioning, that the civilians of Yong’an County had taken the lead to surge and escape after leaving the city, which then spurred everyone else on.
Just as they had thought before, tens of thousands of people wanting to escape could not be stopped unless there was a powerful figure capable of instantly subduing ten thousand people. Otherwise, the vast majority could make their escape, though there were bound to be casualties.
“It looks like Lushui County doesn’t need our help to get quite a few people out, huh!”
Although they said that, the two still went to check the situation.
The majority had escaped, but some were left behind, reducing tens of thousands to about a thousand.
At that moment, a Martial Artist of the Green Flood Dragon Gang was torturing someone.
“So, you’re the ringleader, aren’t you? Looks like you’re prepared for the worst—go to your death—”
The one leading had anticipated this situation and was ready to face death calmly; however, his body trembled slightly in the face of his imminent demise.
But just as the Green Flood Dragon Gang member was about to make a move, they lost control of their body and were sent flying. They smashed into the ground, creating a large pit, blood flowing ceaselessly, dead on the spot.
“Who are you guys…”
Wang Sheng glanced at the person, who was clearly severely tormented, but the wounds seemed mostly external. He tossed him some golden sore medicine, saying, “These can treat your injuries. Heal up and leave as soon as possible!”
With that, he did not linger and took action once again.
Because the number of civilians had decreased, the members of the Green Flood Dragon Gang were more concentrated than before. An attack might be more challenging, but for a strong warrior, it actually made things easier to resolve.
Like in Lushui County, there were two Seventh-Grade Martial Artists here as well, but they were still instantly killed by Wang Sheng.
The matter was easily settled.
“Next, we’re off to Dishui County… Brother Mo, you’ll lead the way!”
The two set off for Dishui County, amid grateful gazes from many.
Da Bai’s speed was still very fast, and it didn’t take long to reach the vicinity of Dishui County.
“Da Bai, just stay around here. If anything goes wrong, leave immediately and head back to the camp.”
He had decided on the way that he would try to blend into the city.
The best-case scenario was not being discovered, the worst-case scenario was being detected, but for their mission, whether they got caught or not did not matter.
“Roar~”
Da Bai understood. With its size, it was destined to be left behind.
After saying goodbye to Da Bai, Wang Sheng and Mo Yang found a blind spot and snuck into the city of Dishui County.
Honestly, it was easier to infiltrate than expected; perhaps even the Green Flood Dragon Gang hadn’t anticipated anyone sneaking in at a time like this.
The county town was filled with many people gathered by the Green Flood Dragon Gang, much “busier” than imagined.
Every part of the street was crowded with people.
Of course, these people were forced together, their eyes lifeless, filled with fear.
After entering the county town, Wang Sheng and Mo Yang immediately found a place to hide, which was not an easy task.
“Brother Wang, what’s the next step?”
“Wait for the Evil Flood Dragon to appear!”
“You plan to confront the Flood Dragon directly?”
Mo Yang thought Wang Sheng only wanted to find a way to rescue the people but now it seemed he was ready to take action.
“Of course, we must eradicate evil!”
If it wasn’t for a final solution, there was no need for him to sneak in. Attacking now would easily allow the Evil Flood Dragon home field advantage.
He planned on changing the battlefield the moment the Evil Flood Dragon appeared three days later.
“Brother Mo, you don’t need to do anything else. When the Evil Flood Dragon appears, go open the city gates to let the civilians escape. The battle might get noisy when it begins!”
“Alright, Brother Wang, you have to survive. Don’t sacrifice yourself.”
Wang Sheng looked at him and could only explain again, “Actually, I can defeat that Evil Flood Dragon. I’m not going there to die; I’m not the type to sacrifice myself for others.”
“I understand, no need to comfort me…”
“…”
He felt even more at a loss for words!
And so, three days passed…
