When disaster struck, I became a big shot surviving in the ocean.
Chapter 60 Demon Dragon Shangjia

Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Demon Dragon Shangjia

Everything—had finally settled down.

As the sole victor, Chen Qing stood amidst the surge of blood, which was firmly suppressed by Lei Guang within the courtyard, turning into an immovable mass of Red Mud.

The Hunters and pirates outside the Red Mud scrutinized Chen Qing from head to toe, finding her presence quite irritating.

She looked so ordinary, after all. It was just that she was a bit taller, a bit more robust, and looked a bit smarter and more composed, but what was the big deal about that?

They had fought here for half a day, and yet she had ended up reaping the benefits.

Just as shameless as White Immortal!

Pah!

Complain as they might, and bitter as they might be, they had to admit that Chen Qing was indeed more formidable than they were.

After such a big roundabout struggle, they hadn’t even touched a hair on Daliya in person, which was laughable if word got out.

"Creak—"

Among the murmurings of the crowd, the door to Lei Guang’s courtyard opened.

And at the moment the door opened, the Biological Ship that had occupied most of the central district instantly exploded and ceased to live!

The foul smell of blood flowed everywhere, covering the streets and alleys, and eventually falling into the ocean to become nourishment for sea beasts.

After this battle had ended, Sapphire Island, which had once been bustling and lively, was now covered in the ruins of buildings.

One by one, civilians emerged from the Bounty Guild, watching the ruins before them in a quiet, customary daze.

"Come in."

The voice of Lei Guang came from inside the courtyard, indistinguishable in its emotion.

Chen Qing sheathed her knife and stepped into the courtyard.

The outside Bounty Hunters and pirates also left with her, showing no intention of staying to enjoy the show.

With Lei Guang there, there was no way for them to know what was happening inside the courtyard.

Daliya’s show had drawn to a close, and aside from Daliya and Chen Qing, there were no more victors.

Oh, that’s not quite right. Perhaps Amnia from the Gemstone Pirate Group and Yuan Fei from the Bai Xian Pirate Group could still be considered victors.

Jerome and Ye Xing were dead, and with Jerome’s pirates scattering in disarray, no one cared about his death.

The pirates on Ye Xing’s ship had all withdrawn from Sapphire Island and returned to the Elemental Sea, seemingly intent on regrouping and avenging Ye Xing.

You Gu was trapped by White Immortal along with Ye Xing and Jerome, severely wounded and on the brink of death.

If it weren’t for the timely rescue by the sea beasts she nurtured, You Gu would probably have followed in the footsteps of the two before her.

The Captain of the Great Pirate Group from the Deep Blue Sea was two dead, one severely injured; Yuan Fei was attacked by everyone and escaped without a trace, Bai Xian Pirate Group’s pirates also suffered heavy casualties.

Only the Gemstone Pirate Group retained the most complete strength, without any casualties.

Following that, the entire Deep Blue Sea area would enter a period of great chaos.

In their scramble for the vacated positions of the Great Pirate Group, pirates would likely once again stir up a bloodbath.

And with each war among the pirates, there would emerge numerous top Bounty Hunters.

Whether pirate, Bounty Hunter, adventurer, or explorer, none could be coddled into existence within a greenhouse.

The appearance of Daliya was just the overture to this chaos.

"Eh? Why is the dock so quiet?"

On the dock, a huge ship silently moored at the quay, its crew looking around at the unusually silent port in wonder.

"Could it be that they’ve heard the boss is coming, so they were all too scared to come out?"

A man with a buzz cut stroked his chin and said earnestly.

On the huge ship, a flag with a black background, white skeleton, and red dragon fluttered, and every pirate on board bore ferocious dragon tattoos.

All of them were strong and fit, with the build of a tiger’s back and bee’s waist, each standing over one meter ninety in height.

The woman at the forefront had strikingly bright red hair and was surrounded and guarded by all the pirates.

"Is my reputation really that fierce?"

The red-haired woman arched an eyebrow, her lips curling up to reveal a slightly wicked smile, while the sharp shark teeth glistened somewhat ominously.

"Come on, you’re the ’Demon Dragon’ after all."

Cuntou man rolled his eyes, clearly having no clue about his own predicament.

Their Demon Dragon Pirate Group was the most ferocious and powerful pirate gang in the Deep Blue Sea Territory, second to none!

"But looking at this situation, it seems like we’ve arrived too late."

The short-haired woman behind Demon Dragon clicked her tongue in disappointment.

It was a pity they didn’t manage to catch up despite hustling.

All because of that damned Thunderbird Pirate Group, she’d round them up and wipe them out later!

"What? I haven’t even seen what this Daliya person actually looks like!"

Demon Dragon Shang Jia frowned, voicing her displeasure.

That was Moana’s daughter; if she turned out to be a waste, she would gladly take care of her for Moana’s sake, so as not to tarnish Moana’s reputation.

As Shang Jia brooded, a thick stench of blood slowly flowed from the direction of the central area.

"Looks like they’ve had quite the fight."

"Hey, isn’t that Fei Huo and Shuangwei?"

The Cuntou man pointed excitedly at the two figures emerging in front of them and shouted loudly.

"..."

Fei Huo and Shuangwei also noticed the group from the Demon Dragon Pirates and simultaneously, all three rolled their eyes exasperatedly at them.

What bad luck!!!

Their complicated history could be traced back to their early days at sea.

"Yo—Isn’t that Shang Jia from the Demon Dragon Pirates? You sure got here fast."

Shuangwei’s voice was full of sarcasm, if only she could beat Shang Jia, she’d knock her out with a single swing of her sword!

"Heh, looking at your faces, you must not have gained any advantage either."

Shang Jia retorted with a forced and insincere laugh, wishing she could tear into them if she ever found them alone at sea.

"Heh."

Fei Huo also sneered coldly. Seeing Shang Jia immediately made her see Chen Qing, the one who caused their mission to fail, in a less unfavorable light.

"You came to see Daliya, right? Too bad she’s already in Lei Guang’s hands."

"The little girl is so thin and small, she just looks pitiful."

"Good thing Chen Qing was there to protect her the whole way, not letting her suffer a scratch, and safely delivered her to Lei Guang."

Fei Huo knew how to hit where it hurt Shang Jia the most, each sentence piercing accurately into Shang Jia’s sore spots.

Thin and small, pitiable, protected all along—how could that be fitting for Moana’s daughter?

As expected, Shang Jia was fuming with rage as Cuntou man and the short-haired woman quickly stepped forward to restrain her, flanking her on both sides.

"It won’t do, boss, this is Pirate Neutral Island, we can’t just strike out!"

"They are deliberately provoking you; you can’t fall for it!"

"Lei Guang is still here; we can’t beat him."

The emphasis was clearly on the last statement. Shuangwei looked disdainfully, not bothering with Shang Jia, that despicable creature, and followed Fei Huo into the Bounty Guild.

The short-haired woman and Cuntou man grasped Shang Jia firmly, struggling with words before they finally managed to calm her down.

Killing Fei Huo and Shuangwei was easy, but they couldn’t make moves on someone else’s turf.

To destroy Sapphire Island and all the people on it would be too despicable—they couldn’t keep doing this!

The aftermath would be troublesome!

Once they had managed to pacify her, Shang Jia quickly seized the main point from Fei Huo’s words.

"Go find out what this Chen Qing really is!"
