Chapter 180: Gu Ding’s Crew’s Real Strength

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The party had been going on for a while. Someone was making an entrance and it attracted many people’s attention. The crowd cast their gaze toward the entrance.

At the entrance, two figures–one tall and one short slowly stepped into the party hall. When Camilia saw what they were wearing, her face went sour. It was a black robe, with a blood-red demon printed on the chest. It was clear as day, they were from the Dark Sectors.

Dark Sectors was the most hated organization in the entire Cosmic Sea. That was because wherever their members appeared, there would be bloodshed. There was almost no exception.

This was Camilia’s birthday party so understandably she was unhappy to see Dark Sectors’ people here. She also had some doubts about the Dark Sectors’ people’s purpose here. Since most of Gu Ding’s previous videos on Great Divinity had been blocked by the Federal Government, including the part where he confronted Dark Sectors, outsiders did not know of his feud with Dark Sectors.

Camilia got to her feet. “People from Dark Sectors, I don’t remember having anything to do with your boss. This is my birthday party, and for those who weren’t invited, I am sorry but please leave.”

“Camilia, you can make us leave easily. Just let that kid sitting on your left hand over his little girlfriend.” The rickety old man’s voice sounded hoarse and depressing, making people uncomfortable.

“You two really are inexorable.” Gu Ding stood up with his hands in his pockets. Liliath who was sitting next to him clenched her fists and trembled slightly–not with fear but with anger. She vividly remembered the dream where the people from Dark Sectors slaughtered her parents.

The rest of the party then learned that Gu Ding had a run-in with Dark Sectors’ people, but strangely enough, Gu Ding’s crew survived unharmed. Dark Sectors, as everyone here knew, was a fearsome organization that no one wanted to mess with.

“Gu Ding, you’ve got some skills. You found someone to cure my poison. However, our boss was unsatisfied. His exact words were ‘Gu Ding is an uncertain factor. If possible, kill him this time. ‘.” The rickety old man spoke slowly as if he was in no hurry. “We mustn’t let our boss down.”

“I also forgot to tell you our code names when we met last time. We’ll introduce ourselves again. I’m Poisoner, and this one next to me is Tower. When you go to hell, I hope you remember our names.” After he finished, the man named Tower beside him suddenly dashed.

Gu Ding was about to make a move, but Elsa was faster. Her moves were as fast as a cheetah and stood between Tower and Lilliath.

“You’re strong…” There was a complete change in the way Elsa looked. There was something extremely dangerous in her eyes. A strange red force slowly poured out of her body and gathered in her right hand. It slowly took the shape of a giant ax. The huge ax was as tall as her and gave an impression of utter incongruity. When the giant ax finished coalescing, her aura became tyrannical and terrifying. Her hair, which had been tied up by a hairpin instantly burst outward, and her long dark purple hair stirred freely in the windless environment. Her body vanished in an instant.

Almost at the same time, Tagore landed on Gu Ding’s shoulder and fixed his eyes warily on Poisoner. As soon as Elsa’s force burst, he, who had been stealing food in the kitchen, knew that Gu Ding and his crew were in trouble.

“Wow, new member, he has some pretty good combat effectiveness.” Poisoner was surprised but he did not see it as a hindrance to his mission. “However, you do know for yourself that the little girl won’t last long in this state, right? Besides, I am stronger than Tower. Do you have any stronger members who can stop me?”

Poisoner turned to Gu Ding; whose mouth raised slightly. In a one-on-one situation, if his opponent touched any part of his body, they would instantly be sealed. He looked forward to seeing the look on their faces.

Gu Ding stepped over the table’s barrier in a flash and stood opposite Poisoner.

No one in the room, including Camilia, had expected Gu Ding to be so bold as to challenge a Peak Rank-12 Gene Body powerhouse.

“Should I call you brave, or should I call you stupid?” Poisoner was also stunned. He did not expect Gu Ding to challenge him so publicly.

At that moment, the metamorphosis regenerated. Tagore, who was on Gu Ding’s shoulder, leaped off elegantly and stood between them. Sitting in front of Gu Ding, Tagore stretched out his hind legs and scratched his neck. Then he yawned lazily.

Gu Ding raised his eyebrows. He knew Tagore was strong, or the two Rank-12 vipers would not fear him the way they did. Now that he took the initiative to ask for a fight, Gu Ding could not help throwing a punch out at Poisoner and took a step back.

Gu Ding’s behavior was confusing to the rest of the onlookers, but Camilia knew that this cat was no ordinary cat. Two vipers were scared of it, how could it be an ordinary cat?

Poisoner paused for a moment, then laughed. “Do you think this is intimidating to me? That’s child’s play. I’ve killed at least ten thousand cats in the lab. Let me tear your pet to shreds in front of you.”

Just as he finished speaking, a dark shadow flashed before his eyes. He felt a burning sensation in his face. He reached out to touch it–it was oozing blood. In front of him, the kitten in a black suit looked at him with his head tilted. He deliberately extended his right paw, and Poisoner saw that his paw was stained with blood.

“Damn that cat!” Poisoner did not expect to get scratched by a cat. He cursed as he felt another burning pain in his face. This time the cat stretched out his left paw.

Everyone was dumbfounded at this sight. No one had seen the kitten’s movements clearly, not even Camilia. In her eyes, it seemed that the cat had been standing in front of Poisoner the entire time without moving.

Gu Ding, with his hands in his pockets, knew that Tagore would be just fine. Poisoner could not even catch his movements. He turned to look in Elsa’s direction.

Elsa, with her huge ax, looked extremely excited. Her long dark purple hair flickered in the light and cast a shadow on the walls that looked as if it were countless pythons feeding on their prey. Her attack was wild and fierce. The great ax swung, again and again, leaving ghastly cracks in the banquet hall’s walls and floor. Tower could only manage to block or dodge, but after each block or dodge, Elsa’s second and third wave of attacks would flood in, giving her opponent no respite.

Their figures dashed around so quickly that Gu Ding could not see their movements at all. He could only tell where they were by the sound of them crashing into something. There was a burst of energy with each crash. The whole party was instantly a mess.

This incident caused everyone present to reassess Gu Ding’s crew’s strength.

Many people realized that Gu Ding seemed fearless because his crew members had the combat effectiveness of Rank-12s.

In Border River, only Camilia’s Scorpion Pirates could surpass crews with such strength. Even the second-best pirate crew, Golden Lion Pirates only had Ike, who was a Rank-12. Gu Ding’s newcomer crew was full of surprises.

Many speculated that Camilia had known of the strength of Gu Ding’s crew. That was why she invited him to the party and arranged for Gu Ding’s entire crew to sit with her.

Lilliath sat where she was, staring coldly at Poisoner. Without her help, Biggie could not fight. In fact, Rank-12 fights like this were somewhat beyond his combat effectiveness. Biggie sat uneasily in his seat. He once again found that he needed better combat effectiveness to protect his friends.

Robert sat in silence. His eyes were fixed on Elsa’s battle with Tower, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Camilia returned to her seat. She picked up her glass and quietly sipped on wine. There was no sign of joy or sadness on her face. She seemed to be thinking of something. “When Her Excellency asked me to invite Gu Ding to the party, she should have anticipated Dark Sectors’ attack and wanted to help Gu Ding avoid it through me. Otherwise, she would not have sent such a precious gift–a Level 3 life fruit that can increase my lifespan by three hundred years. It was considered a good deal. I didn’t expect Gu Ding’s newcomer crew to be so strong. I don’t have to do much. I just need to clean up after the fight’s over…”

Just then, Gu Ding went over to Camilia. He saw her drinking alone and felt a little embarrassed. “Camilia, I’m sorry for messing up your birthday party.”

“It’s no big deal. I have birthday parties every year and I’m tired of them. It nice to have something new this year. I’ll just treat it as entertainment.” Camilia did not look angry. “As for the palace, it hasn’t been renovated for over a hundred years. This is a good opportunity to renovate it. I have the perfect excuse to get reimbursed by the Federal Government. Once you’re done fighting, I just need to take some photos and write a few words for the report–it should get approved easily. However, I guess your bounty will increase again by then. Besides, after this incident, Faye Cosmic Nation’s army will probably take notice of you. Two members with Rank-12 combat effectiveness are not common, especially among Faye Cosmic Nation’s newcomer crews.”

“Gu Ding, Elsa’s self-reinforcement is wearing off soon!” Gu Ding suddenly heard Neptune’s voice in his ear.
