Chapter 324: Want Some Cumin?
The words fell, and Shen Qing raised his finger, lightly tapping. The rolling thunderclouds in the sky began to boil, and terrifying thunder began to ravage the coast.
The three Martial Saints who followed Shen Qing also each displayed their divine abilities—one with coiled hair, his right hand condensing ice, he let out a low cry.
"Ice Age!"
Terrifying icebergs surged forth, directly freezing the sea and raising a wall of extreme ice. These sea beasts went mad, chipping at the ice surface, but couldn't even break off ice shards.
The second person wore red robes, his expression stern: "Meteor Volcano!"
Only to see the sky torn open by molten lava, a domain formed, terrifying magma like meteorites smashing toward the earth, each impact taking the lives of dozens of sea beasts, a rich aroma drifting—this was the scent of roasted sea beasts.
The last person wore yellow robes, fastest of all, a flash of light appeared—he had already arrived before a Sea Beast at the Yuan Dan realm, his voice utterly carefree.
"A Yuan Dan realm Sea Beast? How terrifying."
As he spoke, he kicked with one foot, shattering the Yuan Dan realm Sea Beast into fragments—each of his appearances meant the death of a Yuan Dan realm Sea Beast.
And behind him, a blue crab Sea Saint, the leader of these sea beasts, seeing this, kept turning his head, wanting to flee—this ice wall clearly couldn't stop him, his azure giant claws smashed down a few times, punching a large hole in the ice.
And just then, a voice sounded, unhurried.
"I advise you not to move recklessly, or you'll die miserably."
The blue crab Sea Saint froze instantly—he dared not move at all. Sea beasts inherently sense powerful beings, and now he felt a terrifying monstrous beast standing behind him.
The sound of chattering rang out—Shen Qing's boots slowly stepped across the ice.
Only to see Shen Qing gripping a giant roasted crab claw as he approached the blue crab Martial Saint.
"Very obedient, I'm satisfied."
The blue crab Sea Saint's eyes were locked dead onto the crab claw in Shen Qing's hand.
Shen Qing also noticed the blue crab Martial Saint's gaze—only then did he realize the crab claw in his hand matched the Sea Saint's color exactly, and Shen Qing grinned.
"Your crab offspring are plump, the taste is quite good."
The blue crab Sea Saint Martial Saint flew into a rage, waving both claws fiercely!
"You've gone too far bullying crabs! I'll fight you to the death!"
But as the blue crab Sea Saint moved, several slashes came at him even faster—he didn't even have time to react.
Snip!
The right claw and leg of the blue crab Sea Saint were cleanly severed. Shen Qing raised his hand and flicked— the claw and leg flew to the red-robed Martial Saint.
"Hey you! Help me roast this! Make it tasty, don't burn it!"
A heavy voice came: "Got it! Want cumin?"
"Add it if you have it!"
"Thanks!"
The blue crab Sea Saint's two little eyes nearly popped out, staring dead at Shen Qing.
Say he's polite? He's eating your crab claw right in front of you.
Say he's impolite? He still says thanks.
Shen Qing walked up to the blue crab Sea Saint, bent down, and looked at his face.
"From now on, I ask, you answer."
"If you disappoint me, I'll make you taste your own crab claw."
Shen Qing's tone was unusually gentle, his face bearing a warm smile—but in the blue crab Sea Saint's eyes, it was utterly terrifying.
"Come, your name, and which Sea Beast Empire you're from."
The blue crab spat out white foam: "I'm Qing Shi, from the Green Valley Empire."
Shen Qing nodded satisfactorily: "Are you submitting to which Dragon Palace, or Dragon Island?"
"And who ordered you to attack human territory?"
The blue crab dared not hesitate, for the red-robed Martial Saint was already preparing his claw.
"We were originally under the North Sea Dragon Palace, but recently the North Sea and West Sea Dragon Palaces fought, the North Sea lost, and now it's all ruins."
"The West Sea Dragon Palace has unified the two seas, and this order came from them."
Having a target was enough—Shen Qing no longer wanted to ask more.
Whether the West Sea Dragon Palace had rebelled with heresy no longer mattered—alerts need reasons, but counter-terror only needs coordinates.
Shen Qing lifted his finger—this blue crab was instantly sliced in half.
And at this moment, the red-robed Martial Saint had finished roasting the claw—after all, it was lava, scorching hot.
Shen Qing took the claw, bit into it, and his eyes lit up.
Delicious!
This red-robed Martial Saint is truly a master chef.
Shen Qing bit into the claw as he flew toward the West Sea Dragon Palace.
"This is yours now—keep advancing into the sea, settle accounts with every invading Sea Beast Empire!"
West Sea Dragon Palace.
The West Sea Dragon Palace is the most violent of the Four Sea Dragon Palaces, and in strength, it ranks first.
And at this moment, outside the West Sea Dragon Palace, nine Sea-Stabilizing Pillars stand, each bound with four azure dragons and five white dragons, countless chains piercing their bodies—this is the North Sea Dragon King Ao Wei, the South Sea Dragon King Ao He, and their seven sons.
And now, within the Sea Abyss Valley of the West Sea Dragon Palace, the West Sea Dragon King Ao Sha is speaking.
"Good, good, good! We've taken down the South Sea and North Sea Dragon Palaces in one go!"
"From now on! The Three Seas are ours to command!"
In the Sea Abyss Valley, all the azure dragons raise their heads and roar long, the sea rippling with waves.
"Good!!! The Dragon King spoke well!"
"May my West Sea Dragon Palace flourish!"
Ao Sha let out a cold laugh: "The North Sea Dragon Palace and the South Sea Dragon Palace are nothing but timid mice!"
"We dragons are born between heaven and earth—how can we endure being depressed and living beneath humans for long?"
"It's laughable that the Dragon Ancestor, along with the North Sea and South Sea Dragon Palaces, has not a single thought of resistance—just willingly letting the human race press down on them!"
"But I am not willing!"
"This time, cooperating with the Evil Clan, we will seize the Sheng Luo Empire in one strike! Advance east into the Great Wu, capture Shen Qing alive! Then the Evil Spirits will help me break through the Sea God Realm! By then, I will be the true Dragon Ancestor!!!"
"By then, this sea! I will be the sole king!"
At that moment, Shen Qing's voice rang out.
"Do you even dare to dream a little bigger? You only dare to call yourself king in the sea?"
All the azure dragons snapped their heads toward Shen Qing, over a hundred hundred-meter giant dragons forming a circle and staring at him—this scene was extremely tense; if one's willpower were slightly weak, a martial artist might very well faint.
But Shen Qing merely chewed quietly on the crab claw still steaming in his hand, having comprehended the vast acceleration of the Void Domain, which greatly increased his speed through the void, so when he arrived at the West Sea Dragon Palace, the crab claw was still warm.
Shen Qing took a bite of the crab claw: "Your Dragon Ancestor is indeed a clever dragon—if he had shown even a hint of disloyalty, the Martial Emperor would have long since strung him up."
The West Sea Dragon Palace's Great Crown Prince let out a cold laugh: "Such big talk!"
"Boy! Report your name!"
Shen Qing slowly set the crab claw aside, wrapped it in vital energy to prevent excessive contact with seawater from cooling it.
Then he lifted his gaze to look at the assembly of white dragons.
"You just said you wanted to capture me alive—turns out you all know me?"
"But perfect! You want to capture me alive, and I want to exterminate you."
"Come at me together!"
