CRACK!
Up on the high bone deck of the three-mile-long Blood-Bone Galleon, sixty thousand feet above the earth, Enforcer Xue Sha gripped the edge of the floating clairvoyance mirror so hard that the enchanted crystal frame shattered in his claws!
Down on the mirror’s surface, the live image showed Silver-Spear Commander Zhao—his most trusted Rank 6 Peak captain—wearing a bright neon-yellow vest labeled DRY-WELL DEBTOR #90,001, happily whistling a tune as he spread Blood-Siphon Fiend fertilizer around a row of giant green cabbages.
Even worse, Squad Leader Chen looked straight up at the sky, held up a tin bowl full of shiny red braised pork belly toward the orbital mirror, and shouted at the top of his lungs:
“HEY! LORD XUE SHA! DON’T BOTHER SAVING US! WE QUIT! YOU CAN KEEP OUR THREE HUNDRED YEARS OF BACK WAGES TO BUY YOURSELF ANOTHER SLIPPER!”
PUFF! PUFF!
Two more mouthfuls of dark crimson blood sprayed out of Enforcer Xue Sha’s mouth like a leaking garden hose!
His long white hair stood straight up on end as his Half-Step Rank 8 Soul-Formation aura went completely berserk, cracking fifty bone deck-planks beneath his bare left foot.
