Chapter 117: A Man Does Not Easily Shed Tears
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
The Dark Jade Snow Dragon King who was diving crazily suddenly felt that it could not pull away any longer. No matter how crazily it struggled, it simply could not continue swimming away!
The hook in its stomach seed to have rged with its entire body. Even though it was using all its strength, it could not separate itself from the hook at all! Otherwise, if it was just the bit of flesh the hook had latched onto that was the thing holding it, it would have been torn off long ago!
The Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King had lived for an extrely long ti, and had developed so form of intelligence long ago. It knew that as long as it did not break the fishing line, there was no way it could escape!
Imdiately, it began gnawing on the line with its sharp teeth. However, this was useless. The fishing line was extrely thin to begin with, so it was hard for the gargantuan beast to bite down on it accurately. Also, even if it did manage to bite it properly, it was unable to break the line!
The most darning thing was that there was a massive pulling force dragging it slowly back to the water surface!
If not for having most of its strength constrained by the fishing hook, with the sheer size and weight of its body coupled with its strength, there was no way it could be dragged away like this by Bei Feng!
Unfortunately, there were no 'ifs' in life. With just this pitiful amount of strength left, it was simply unable to struggle against Bei Feng!
"Hua hua!"
The massive body of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King slowly appeared on the water's surface again. An imnse amount of water slid off the black scales of the creature and splashed about wantonly.
The temperature around the lake plumted once again, causing the shivering Peng Peng to peek his head out in surprise.
"Oh my God! What is this?!"
Peng Peng looked on in terror. The gigantic Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King was rising into the air, its limbs flailing desperately. A thin line which seed like it could break anyti was attached to it, and no matter how the beast struggled, it seed to be unable to do anything about it!
A massive black vortex suddenly appeared on the roof of the cave, swallowing the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King bit by bit.
"AH! Stay for !" An enraged cry sounded from behind Peng Peng and before he could even react, he had been knocked unconscious by it. This shout seed to contain so sort of peculiar voice technique, giving no chance for a person to block!
A stout old man wreathed in flas imdiately appeared outside of the lake only to see the very strange sight of a black beast suspended upside down in mid air, with only part of its head remaining. The thick muscles on Yan Zhan's body bulged fiercely and an incredible dominating aura surged out of him!
The rickety fra of the old man suddenly grew with incredible speed. His wrinkled skin stretched and grew into a healthy bronze; his head of gray beca inky and luscious. In the blink of an eye, the old Yan Zhan had turned into a young man in his thirties! The only difference was the profound eyes on this 'young man' which seed to have experienced all the vicissitudes of life!
"Heaven Seizing Hamr!"
Yan Zhan's backbone was like a domineering fire dragon rearing its head proudly as though it was about to burst out of his skin!
An over twenty ter fiery red silhouette appeared around the large hamr in his hands as he sent it smashing with terrifying montum towards the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King's exposed head!
This was Yan Zhan's fiercest hamr strike in his entire life! For this one strike, he had been preparing for over 30 years!
This strike was the pinnacle of his strength, ford with the combination of his essence, spirit and qi! It embodied his determination to conquer all! Even if there was a slightly smaller mountain in front of him, it would still be smashed into pieces!
"BAM!"
The immobilized Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King could only watch on helplessly as the huge hamr slamd towards it. With a deafening boom, its skull sank in by one third, severely deforming its head!
Copious amounts of blood flowed ceaselessly from the creature's mouth, dying the surface of the lake red!
Sensing the blood, countless Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas surged madly towards the surface, gulping down the red liquid with huge gulps.
Yan Zhan barely had the ti to admire the force of his strike. Before he could even follow up on the attack, the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King had already been swallowed into the black vortex, completely disappearing from this world! Imdiately after that, the black vortex also disappeared.
"Lu Tong, the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King is dead now; you can rest in peace!"
Yan Zhan choked with emotion. There was no question as for whether the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King was dead or not. That hamr strike was not as simple as just smashing a dent in the creature's head!
Over a third of old man Yan's fire attribute Qi had been inserted into the strike. It was definitely enough to fry the despicable beast's brains into charred at paste!
The only pity was that Yan Zhan had not been able to cleave off the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King's head with his own hands. Despite that, the aggrieved heart of the old man had finally been smoothed. This manly man who would rather shed blood than tears was now sobbing bitterly with a line of hot tears running down his aged face.
A man does not easily shed tears. But that was because he had yet to be truly hurt!
The domineering aura around this lonely old man had already disappeared, and he had already reverted back to the form of an ordinary, harmless elderly man. This harmless old man stood facing the Frigid Spring Lake for a long ti before finally turning around with a sigh. Seeing the unconscious figure of Peng Peng, wrapped in a ridiculous amount of clothes and covered in the blood of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King, Yan Zhan hesitated for a short mont before picking him up and disappearing.

Bei Feng was trembling with excitent as he rotated the reel line fervently. A gargantuan beast was hanging from the White Jade Fishing Rod, causing it to bend to a shocking degree. Bei Feng swallowed nervously, afraid that the rod would break apart at any ti.
Very slowly, the tips of a long tail began to appear within the Ancient Well. A thick purplish gas also appeared within the well, causing the scene to look extrely mystical.
A strange-looking arowana over two ters long appeared in the well. Bei Feng did not dare to pull the whole thing out in fear that once it reverted back to its real size, sothing unexpected might happen.
'Hm? What's going on? Why is this strange fish's head dented to such an extent?'
Bei Feng examined the strange fish closely. It looked extrely beautiful. The black scales on its body was like high quality dark jade. If its robust body was more petite, Bei Feng estimated that it would be the most elegant fish in the world, amazing enough to astound and excite all the fish lovers worldwide!
Bei Feng's vision was only limited to 5 ters of the hook. Thus, as soon as the hook was eaten by the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King, he had no way of sensing the events that happened thereafter.
However, he could distinctly rember that that wound had not been there originally! What's more, when he made a rough estimation of the wound based on the actual size of the strange fish, the force which inflicted it must have been extrely shocking!
'No matter who did this, you have my thanks! You've saved a ton of effort!'
Bei Feng was filled with a sudden sense of gratitude. He was having a headache thinking about the ways to deal with this fellow. But now, this troubleso matter had actually been solved by soone else!
Still, Bei Feng did not dare to underestimate the vitality of these Demonic Beasts. He could still rember the matter with the Variant Giant Salamander a while back. What if the creature was not really dead and he only found out about it after removing the hook?!
Anyway, this fish was too big. He also didn't have a proper place to store it for the ti being, so he might as well leave it in the well and save himself so trouble.
'Since it's a fish, it shouldn't be able to live long outside of water right? I'll leave it here for a couple days first. Even if it's not dead now, it should be dead by then.'
This was the most important thing. He didn't want to risk anything after the incident with the giant salamander and the little fox.
'But why hasn't the System said anything yet? Could it be that the information on the fish would not be released unless it's fully pulled out of the well?'
No matter how he looked at it, this should be the only logical answer. But previously, the System's voice had clearly sounded out even though the catch was still within the well!
Since he could not figure it out, Bei Feng could not be bothered to continue thinking about it. Picking up the two pieces of stone plates on the ground, he covered the mouth of the well and left with the White Jade Fishing Rod sticking out of the side of the well.
Luckily, the weight of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King was almost completely nullified when inside the well. Otherwise, there was no way the well could hold the weight of the humongous creature.
The rest of the night passed peacefully, and the sun rose on the old mansion. Bei Feng who was used to having a hearty breakfast every morning was already up, pouring water and adding firewood to the dicinal cauldron.
Wreathed in the barbaric flas of the bonfire, the strange effects of the dicinal cauldron soon appeared. It was too bad that Bei Feng did not know any pill refining thods, and could only use this primitive ans to forcefully bring out the dicinal essence of the cauldron. One had to say, this was really a waste of a heavenly item!
