Chapter 161: Shrimp Warrior and River Inspection Viceroy
It wasn't Xiao Yu's first time seeing a demon spirit.
The dog demon Xiao Qiang she had just adopted was a dog demon.
But the demon spirits she had seen before didn't have a shred of human form; they were completely in beast form.
The two water demons slowly approaching, however, had human forms.
One was a lobster demon, with a shrimp head, still wearing a shrimp shell, but with a human torso.
Below the torso was not a shrimp tail, but two legs; there was more than one pair of arms, but only one pair was thick and powerful, while the other arms were like transparent tentacles, curled under the ribs.
The other was a black fish demon, who had become a black-faced man.
Even with a fish-like face shape, the fish eyes on the face, the fish fins on the top of the head, and the fish scales on the cheeks showed that he was actually a different kind.
Both demons held weapons.
The green-headed lobster had two large pincer-like knives hanging from his waist.
Xiao Yu suspected they were the shrimp pincers he had shed.
The black fish demon held a three-pronged grass fork.
"My lord, it really is a beautiful young lady, much prettier than the village girls we picked up before."
After approaching within twenty meters, the lobster demon saw Xiao Yu's appearance and shouted excitedly.
"Hahaha, I'm in luck!" the black fish demon was so excited that his mouth was just spitting bubbles.
"Stop, where did you demons come from, daring to trespass into this Immortal's Immortal Mansion!" Xiao Yu stared and shouted angrily.
"Oh my, she's alive, and can speak!"
The lobster demon was startled and pulled out both his pincer knives.
The black fish demon was also startled, but he didn't panic at all; instead, he approached within ten meters, looking at Xiao Yu with a strange expression, and asked, "Little lady, why aren't you dead, and how can you speak at the bottom of the water?"
"Stupid demon, this Immortal has been fasting recently, and it was hard to restrain my heart of slaughter, deciding not to kill anymore; you'd better roll away!" Xiao Yu shouted.
The black fish demon laughed, "Shrimp Warrior, look, this little lady isn't old, but her tone is quite big!"
The lobster demon held his head high and puffed out his chest, swam forward two meters, and shouted, "You must be a wild girl passing by here, aren't you?"
"What if I'm a wild girl, and what if I'm a home girl?" Xiao Yu asked.
The lobster demon said proudly, "If you were a 'home-raised girl' of the river bay, you would definitely know this Warrior's name, and you wouldn't be so ignorant as to dare to speak wildly to the River Inspection Viceroy."
"Only wild girls from out of town would see a true god and not recognize him."
Xiao Yu sneered, "Then you are really wrong; I am the owner of Howling Shanzhuang. Do you know Howling Shanzhuang? This bay is the backyard water ditch of my villa!"
"Howling Shanzhuang?" The black fish demon frowned, looking not very smart, and looked at the lobster demon, "What kind of villa is Howling Shanzhuang? How did our Wind Roaring Bay become her backyard water ditch?"
The lobster demon was very shrewd and said angrily, "My lord, this little girl is a toad yawning—her tone is too big, but actually she's nothing!"
"Her Howling Shanzhuang is just a small mountain head fifty miles away."
"Wind Roaring Bay stretches for two hundred miles, and there are countless similar mountain heads and villas on both banks."
The black fish demon stretched out a finger as thick as a radish, pointed at Xiao Yu, and cursed, "You bold, licentious, cheap—"
"Swish~~" A white line streaked across the dark bottom of the water.
The black fish demon blinked; Xiao Yu's figure was already gone, but a burst of numbness came from his mouth.
He subconsciously continued to speak, "Goods—Awoo, it hurts me to death~~"
As soon as he opened his mouth, his upper and lower jaws separated directly, and there were neat cuts on both sides of his cheeks.
One could see the other side from the side, directly seeing his throat.
Even though he covered his face and wailed, streams of blood still flowed out, dyeing the nearby water area red.
"How bold, daring to hurt—ah~~"
The Shrimp Warrior roared and turned around, wanting to wave his knife to chase and kill, but didn't expect a vast giant force to come from his waist.
Several transparent tentacle-like shrimp legs were cut off, the armor on his left waist cracked, and yellow-green liquid flowed out.
"You lobster head, you're quite hard!"
Xiao Yu was ten steps away, tilting her head to look at him, laughing, "Now who is the overlord of this river bay?"
"Bitch, you are looking for death!"
The black fish demon roared in fury and waved his three-pronged grass fork forward with force.
A vast and mysterious power emanated from the fork, and the surrounding water began to churn violently.
"Boom boom boom~~~~" A giant wave actually rose on the seabed, thirty meters high, a hundred meters wide, with transparent ripples, rolling and crushing toward Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu frowned.
The black fish demon used "Demon Art," and the giant waves contained faint demon power, making her unable to borrow force 100%.
If she rushed into the waves, she would be crushed by giant force...
"Swish!" Hesitating for a moment, she felt that rushing through it wouldn't be a big problem, so she drummed her internal energy, tensed her body, and kicked her legs, like a torpedo, crashing into the rolling water waves.
"Splash~~"
Unlike the previous ease, comfort, passing through water without a trace, and free and easy style.
A large amount of white bubbles appeared around her, leaving obvious traces in the water, and her body was still rising and falling in the waves.
But her speed didn't decrease.
Unable to borrow force 100%, she could still borrow force, and the power of the water pushed her to accelerate forward.
It was just that the water waves pressing on her body were dull and painful, very uncomfortable.
"Boom boom boom!"
She endured the pain, held her breath, pierced through the sea waves, and arrived in front of the dumbfounded black fish demon with a large splash and bubbles.
"Slap!" The three-foot steel sword in her hand pulled hard across his face.
The black fish demon spun and flew out horizontally.
"Swish swish swish!"
Before Xiao Yu could make her next move, dense transparent water arrows shot over from the side.
Even though she borrowed the force of the sea waves to swim quickly again, she was still hit by two water arrows on her shoulder.
Her acceleration from static to dynamic wasn't as fast as the speed of the incoming water arrows.
"Shrimp head, you are looking for death!" Feeling the sharp pain in her left shoulder, Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Hahaha, you are the one dying, little bitch!"
Seeing her shoulder bleeding, the lobster demon laughed heartily, drummed his demon power again, and turned his shrimp pincer knives, driving the surrounding water to rotate into two large whirlpools.
The whirlpools floated on his shoulders; he turned, and the whirlpools turned with him.
"Swish swish swish!" The whirlpools kept shooting out transparent water arrows as long as an arm and as thick as a chopstick.
Dense water arrows, thousands of them, like a rainstorm under the water, raindrops flying horizontally, covered Xiao Yu.
This time Xiao Yu didn't dodge, but closed her eyes, the memory of the hundred-meter tsunami and thousand-mile flooding of the Liushahe flashed through her mind, and the newly born "Seedling: Great River Sword Intent" absorbed nourishment and grew rapidly.
Then, cooperating with the pulse of the undercurrents in the water, she superimposed the mystery of the Demon Script "Mountain's Weight" onto the sword intent.
She slowly raised the sword in her hand.
The movement looked a bit difficult, as if the three-foot green peak weighed a hundred thousand jin, and she couldn't hold it steady.
And the water arrows had already arrived in front of her, and in the next second, they would shoot her into a hornet's nest.
"Flowing Sand Sword Intent, Heavy Waves Pressing Mountain~~"
Xiao Yu spat out a few words lightly, and more than half of the internal energy in her body poured out, finally completing the action of swinging the sword downward, albeit slightly clumsily.
"Boom!!!"
It was as if a mountain had fallen into the sea, landing in front of Xiao Yu.
All the incoming water arrows were crushed by the invisible mountain.
Even the lobster demon in front was unable to help himself, crushed by a transparent ripple, his bones creaking, and his body retreated repeatedly.
The "water arrow whirlpool" he had condensed with demon power on his shoulders was also instantly crushed, turning into a torrent and scattering.
"Splash, boom boom boom~~~~"
After the transparent ripples dissipated, the muddy waves began to churn on the seabed, as if a hurricane had blown up on the seabed.
The faster and bigger the waves, the more force Xiao Yu borrowed, and the faster her speed.
"Swish!" Like a teleportation, her long sword stabbed forward, hitting the chest of the lobster demon who was staggering backward.
"Crack!"
Just like before, it couldn't fully break the armor; the sword tip crushed his chest armor but couldn't penetrate deep into it.
"Hahaha, I have long since refined my entire shell into armor, stronger than the Xuan Iron Heavy Armor of the Dragon Palace, how can you kill me?" The lobster demon laughed and waved his shrimp pincer knife, hacking at Xiao Yu's head.
"Who said killing people must break armor?"
Xiao Yu smiled faintly, her eyes turning blood-red.
"Roar!!"
The lobster demon seemed to see a black tiger a zhang tall.
The fierce tiger was surrounded by ribbon-like blood-red sha qi, each strand of sha qi turning into a sharp sword, each sword seeming to possess life.
The fierce tiger roared at him, and with thousands of sharp swords, rushed into his chest.
"Ah, no~~~" The lobster demon screamed miserably, struggling hard, yellow-green blood flowing from his seven orifices, his voice gradually weakening, and finally he stiffened in place, motionless.
The fierce tiger's divine intent shocked and severely injured his soul.
Then the various sword intents Xiao Yu had comprehended drilled into the gaps of the shrimp shell armor, shredding his internal organs and tearing his muscles to pieces.
"You killed the Shrimp Warrior?! You actually dared to kill him, do you know who we are?" The black fish demon covered his face, his voice a bit distorted, but he couldn't hide his shock and fear.
"You are the River Inspection Viceroy, right? 'Warrior' is just a warrior, not a divine position."
Xiao Yu still had a sense of proportion.
She had already caused a lot of trouble.
Human Immortals on the ground, divine generals in the sky, ghosts and gods in the Underworld, if she added the River God...
Even though she deeply hated the black fish demon's rudeness, she still endured and didn't kill him.
Because the Shrimp Warrior called the black fish demon "River Inspection Viceroy."
She didn't know how much water was in this "Viceroy," but she could at least confirm he was a River God.
Warrior meant "warrior."
A warrior is not a divine position, so she vented all her anger on the lobster demon.
Sigh, now she finally understood the grievance in Wukong's heart on the journey to fetch the scriptures.
Demons with status and background, even if they do evil, must be endured and cannot be killed casually.
"Swish~~~"
The black fish demon met her eyes, saw the killing intent she was desperately restraining and the blood-red fierce sha qi, and he chickened out, not saying a word, turning and running.
"Stop!"
Xiao Yu didn't expect him to be such a coward, and was stunned for a moment before kicking her legs to accelerate and chase after the black fish demon.
The black fish demon was a Demon-God—possessing both demon power and divine power, almost instantly accelerating to maximum speed, his initial speed far exceeding Xiao Yu's.
But Xiao Yu borrowed the power of the waves and undercurrents in the water, not only increasing her speed but also her acceleration.
After swimming about twenty miles, Xiao Yu was already so fast that her shadow couldn't be seen.
The black fish demon was huffing and puffing forward when suddenly a snow-white sword light flashed before his eyes, and the top of his head felt cold—his fish fins were shaved off, and the fish scales on his face were also scraped clean.
"Run again and I'll chop your fish head!" A cold voice sounded directly in his ears without anyone in sight.
"Zhenyuan Daxian, spare my life!"
The black fish demon braked sharply, kicking up a patch of sludge on the river bottom, and after stopping steadily, immediately knelt on the ground and wailed.
Xiao Yu also instantly dissipated the power of the water waves she had borrowed, completing the transition from extreme speed to sudden stop in an instant.
"Evil beast, report your name, identity, family members, interpersonal relationships, immediate superior, and the government office you belong to."
The black fish demon lay in the river bottom sludge, wailing, "Little god is not lying, little god is the River Inspection Yaksha of this two-hundred-mile Wind Roaring Bay."
"Little god's father and mother died long ago, and brothers and sisters are all gone."
"Now I live in the 'Langya Immortal Mansion,' raised 88 adopted sons, belong to the Western Shahe God, and my immediate superior is the 'Yellow Sand Huangsha Xiaosheng' among the Ninety-Nine Protectors of the Liushahe."
Xiao Yu frowned, "Is the Western Shahe God an old turtle?"
The black fish demon nodded repeatedly, "That's right, the River God grandfather's true form is a 'Jade River Turtle'."
"What is the background of the Ninety-Nine Protectors and the Yellow Sand Huangsha Xiaosheng?" Xiao Yu asked.
The black fish demon said, "The Ninety-Nine Protectors are the ninety-nine capable generals under the River God grandfather."
"Among them, seventy-two protectors are the descendants of the River God grandfather, and another twenty-seven are water demons or human immortals."
"The Yellow Sand Huangsha Xiaosheng is the first talent among the fifth-generation descendants of the River God grandfather."
Xiao Yu was a bit shocked; not to mention the Western Shahe God's own strength, his River God Mansion's power was truly huge.
"What realm are the Western Shahe God and the Ninety-Nine Protectors in?"
The black fish demon said in conflict, "I have always stayed in Wind Roaring Bay and haven't seen many protectors... I guess they are all powerful Demon Immortals!"
—This is a stupid demon with no knowledge!
Xiao Yu despised him in her heart, but said on her lips, "There should be many warriors in the River God Mansion, right? Dying one big shrimp doesn't matter."
The black fish demon shook his head repeatedly, "The Shrimp Warrior's status is not ordinary. His 'Warrior' status was personally conferred by the River God grandfather; he is a 'Palace Warrior'."
"He can enter the River God Mansion without a token and report important matters to the River God grandfather."
Xiao Yu's eyes became dangerous, "Do you mean that you, a dignified River Inspection Viceroy, are not as noble as the Shrimp Warrior, and cannot suppress the small accident of him being smashed to death by mountain rocks?"
The black fish demon cursed in his heart: With the thick armor on the Shrimp Warrior, how could he be smashed to death by mountain rocks?
And a dignified "Palace Warrior" suddenly died, how could it be a small accident?
It would inevitably alarm the Yellow Sand Huangsha Xiaosheng, and the River God grandfather might also ask a question or two.
"Zhenyuan Daxian, please rest assured, this is indeed a small matter, I can easily solve it!" he promised, patting his chest.
—First fool this evil star, and then go find the Yellow Sand Huangsha Xiaosheng to complain! ===== CHAPTER 162 =====
