Chapter 325: Bursting with Power! Instant Kill!

"Damn it!"

"Damn it! Damn it!! Damn it!!!"

Thump, thump, thump!

Inside the Sea Lotus Forbidden Land, General Crab pounded the table in anger, tearing the items placed upon it to shreds.

After consuming a large amount of spiritual medicine, the crab claws that Ren Yidao had torn off to cook had now grown back.

But compared to the mighty, giant claws it once took pride in—which could be half the size of its own body—these two claws that had just emerged from the stumps looked extremely miniature.

It was like forcing a pair of infant arms onto a mighty, imposing man.

A sense of complete incongruity.

This was also the reason why General Crab had broken down in a loss of composure after seeing its current appearance in the mirror.

It could not accept it.

It truly could not accept it!

It was once the number one battle general under Eight Prince, the dream lover of countless female crabs.

And now, this pathetic appearance of its would become the laughingstock of everyone!

Everyone!

Although those subordinates dared not discuss it to its face, there was no telling how they would mock it behind its back.

"You really deserve to die!"

Upon returning to the Sea Lotus Forbidden Land, protected by the forbidden land's Array and a group of Sea Beast subordinates, the fear in its heart gradually transformed into anger.

If that Human Race dared to appear before it again, it would tear him to shreds, then let the unintelligent Sea Beasts swallow him into their bellies and defecate him out!

"That damned Human Race, I must tear him into ten thousand pieces! And that traitorous old turtle! You are the one who deserves to die the most!"

General Crab vented fiercely in the room, finally releasing most of the resentment in its heart.

It calmed down and whispered insidiously:

"As long as you are still in the East Sea, none of you will be able to run!"

General Crab did not intend to just keep this hidden and do nothing.

Perhaps some people, after losing face, would choose to suppress the news, act as if nothing had happened, and make preparations in secret.

It would have done the same in the past, but the situation this time was a bit different.

The grudge had already been formed; not only had it lost face, but it had also paid the price of a pair of crab claws. How could it just let the matter rest?

And the most important point: relying on itself alone, it had no way to deal with the opponent.

Since it could not handle it, it had to find a way.

General Crab was not only going to make a scene, it was going to make a massive one.

It would make the entire East Sea know!

It would even exaggerate their strength, inflating them into powerful existences invincible below the Heaven Realm!

Only in this way could it appear that it was not so useless for having managed to escape with its life.

Of course, the ultimate goal was to kill those people; only their deaths could truly wash away its humiliation.

"I will go report this now; I must ask the Prince to uphold justice for me!"

General Crab took a Jade Slip and recorded the appearances of the few people it had seen.

Because the incident happened too suddenly, General Crab had not stayed on the shore for long, and it had not carefully examined the two people other than Gui Yan and Ren Yidao.

Cang Lan's appearance still retained the characteristics of the Demon Race and was easy to identify, but the seemingly weak and pitiful young girl was subconsciously categorized by it as Human Race.

Then, General Crab began to prepare the memorial it would submit to Eight Prince.

"Your Highness, I have a matter to report!"

"Late last night, two humans, one demon, and the traitorous turtle from Ruyi Sea came to commit an offense. They took advantage of the night to force their way into the Sea Lotus Forbidden Land and severely wounded me."

"The four of them, apart from that traitorous turtle, all possessed extremely powerful strength! Among them, the man's strength was at the Void Refining Peak, and the two women were both at the Spirit Transformation realm."

"Although I had the heart to resist and used the Array to trap them, the opponent's strength was too great, and the traitor within worked from the inside, causing the Array to fail!"

"I fought to the death and did not surrender, maneuvering with them, and finally found an opportunity to escape by the skin of my teeth after sacrificing my claws."

"Since then, the entire Sea Lotus Forbidden Land has turned into a dead zone; all the generals except for me were slaughtered by them and all sacrificed themselves heroically!"

"By the time I returned to the Sea Lotus Forbidden Land, the thieves had already left and destroyed all traces!"

"However, fortunately, I have already recorded the appearance of the thieves and will definitely not let them escape."

"In addition, thanks to my usual caution, the Sea Lotus Fruits I had harvested earlier were all carried on my person and were not lost in this incident, preventing the thieves' treacherous scheme from succeeding."

"I beg Your Highness to make the decision for us; we must not let these thieves remain at large. We must avenge the soldiers of our East Sea!"

"Avenge! Avenge! Avenge!!!"

"For committing such a grave error, I deserve to die ten thousand times! But I boldly beg Your Highness to show mercy and give me one more chance!"

"I will definitely kill these villains with my own hands! Avenge the fallen brothers! And regain face for Your Highness!"

Writing stumblingly for two hours, General Crab finally finished this memorial of less than five hundred characters and put it away with satisfaction.

General Crab was very satisfied with its literary talent.

It believed that as long as Eight Prince read the memorial, he would absolutely not blame it.

Even, if it were lucky, it might even receive a reward!

In the memorial, General Crab depicted itself as a tragic general who vowed to coexist with the position, loyally guarding the forbidden land for Eight Prince.

Furthermore, it was both brave and resourceful, having harvested and carried the Sea Lotus Fruits in advance, keeping losses to a minimum.

General Crab understood very well that in the eyes of Eight Prince, some generals and soldiers were not worth mentioning at all; only the Sea Lotus Fruits he loved to eat were of the utmost importance.

As long as it could protect the Sea Lotus Fruits, even if many subordinates died, it would be a great achievement!

And by atoning for its crimes with merit, it could maintain its status in the heart of Eight Prince!

As for those few thieves, although the Eight Prince might not necessarily attach much importance to them, the necessary wanted orders will definitely be issued.

And this is enough.

"I will make it impossible for you four to take a single step in this East Sea!"

Walking out of the Cave Abode where he was resting, General Crab had the soldiers guarding the entrance summon everyone in the Sea Lotus Forbidden Land; he had a major matter to announce shortly.

"This General has received an order from His Highness; the tribute day has been moved up, and all Sea Lotus Fruits must be presented today."

"Go, notify everyone to harvest all Sea Lotus Fruits in the Sea Lotus Forbidden Land and hand them over to this General along with the previous inventory."

"After you finish, everyone is to gather in front of this General's mansion; this General has an important matter to announce."

After General Crab dismissed the soldiers to deliver the notice, he squinted at their departing backs, his heart filled with icy killing intent.

"Daring to speak ill of this General behind my back—you are all going to die."

"You must die, otherwise this General's play cannot continue."

They must die.

Not only must they die, they must die heroically, all of them wiped out!

Only in this way can General Crab pin this blood debt entirely on Ren Yidao.

……

……

"Hmm?"

"Why has the sea over there turned red?"

Ren Yidao sat cross-legged on the back of Gui Yan, looking curiously at the destination ahead, wondering why it had suddenly turned a blood-red color.

"It is, it is the Killing Array, the Killing Array activated by the Sea Lotus Forbidden Land, it has slaughtered quite a few..."

Quite a few of what?

Is it the Sea Beasts that didn't know better and forced their way into the Forbidden Land? Or...

Gulp.

Gui Yan dared not think any further.

Ren Yidao tasted something different from Gui Yan's unease, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

He squinted at the Forbidden Land where the sounds of killing shook the Heaven, feeling that the situation seemed so absurd.

"Setting fire to the granary, huh, heh heh."

"Knowing I was coming to find you, instead of keeping people to protect yourself, you're now busy with these messy little tricks to balance the books?"

"You really are in a hurry to die!"

Such disregard for your own life, I truly admire you!

Ren Yidao patted the turtle shell, signaling Gui Yan not to cower.

"Let's go, let's see what it is actually doing."

As they drew closer to the red mist, they could gradually hear the chilling sounds coming from within.

Crack, crack.

The chewing sound made by the friction of the carapace sent a chill down Gui Yan's spine, yet it dared not stop.

Because compared to the unknown fear, the guy on its back was even more terrifying...

But before they could get fully close, the cracking sound stopped.

"Glug, glug..."

Accompanied by the sound of bubbles bursting, a behemoth rushed out from the blood-stained seawater.

"Glug, glug, glug, glug!!!"

Ren Yidao looked at the giant creature, blinked, then his eyes widened, and finally, his expression changed drastically.

"Holy crap! This is..."

Ren Yidao shouted in a rare display of loss of composure:

"Isn't this a Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

Big body, short arms.

Case closed.

You are a Tyrannosaurus Rex!

Though you have more legs and can swim in the water, so you aren't a fundamentalist Tyrannosaurus Rex, but a multi-legged aquatic Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"What kind of Role-playing is this? Well, whatever, looking at your current state, you probably can't answer anyway."

At this moment, General Crab was more than three times larger than before, and the entire crab was wreathed in an astonishing bloody stench; it wasn't hard to guess what it had been doing.

"Killing them wasn't enough, you had to make the most of them, right... you really aren't a picky eater!"

Devouring, absorbing, assimilating... no matter what jargon is used to cover it up, the behavior of General Crab boils down to one word.

Eat!

No matter what their positions were before, they are all meeting in the stomach now.

"For your subordinates to have a general like you, it really is a blessing they could only cultivate over several lifetimes!"

Does this count as loving each other while killing each other?

The ocean version of 'I Want to Eat Your Pancreas'... wait? Come to think of it, do creatures in the sea have that organ?

Never mind, that's not important.

What's important is that fresh ingredients have delivered themselves to my door.

"Ho ho, not choosing to run away, but actively approaching me?"

Ren Yidao leaped off Gui Yan's back and told it to hide to the side and stop shivering here.

The automatic jolting of this turtle shell made his buttocks uncomfortable.

Ren Yidao looked at the giant crab charging toward him from the opposite side and smilingly transmitted a message:

"Is it worth it to walk this path of no return for such a trivial matter?"

"Is it really necessary?"

Generally speaking, the outside world has a high degree of tolerance for the behavior of the Demon Race and will not label them as Demon cultivators at every turn.

But even for the Demon Race, hunting and killing their own kind to obtain an improvement in bloodline is not a small matter, and they will likewise be looked down upon.

It is not to the point where every demon must be executed, but they are still objects of disgust and loathing.

Moreover, just as an animal that has tasted blood needs to be dealt with, the instinct within the bloodline of a Demon Beast that has devoured its own kind will be awakened, and it will never be able to forget that feeling again.

They must either use powerful self-control to restrain their desire to kill, or they will become a fierce beast that only knows how to kill and devour.

Therefore, Ren Yidao said this is a path of no return.

What was that General Crab trying to achieve by choosing to commit such a grave error just to gain power?

Was it for love and peace?

Obviously not.

"Glug-glug!" ("Kill!!!")

Even though he could not understand the dialect of the crab blowing bubbles, Ren Yidao could guess with his knees that these were certainly not kind words.

Especially that killing intent and hatred, which were practically piercing through the Heaven.

"You really do hate me! It was clearly you who attacked me first, so why make it look like I was bullying you?"

Watching General Crab closing in, Ren Yidao jumped backward easily, dodging the bubble beam that came charging over rapidly.

"Think about it carefully, you and I actually have no great enmity, do we?"

"The reason you hate me so much is actually because you have transferred your anger at your own weakness onto me."

"Therefore, your current behavior is nothing more than taking your anger out on others, attempting to vent your incompetent rage onto me."

Ren Yidao has always been a reasonable person.

He tried to convey his "valuing harmony" and wanted to reform General Crab, letting this crab that had Fallen into Demon put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.

But obviously, the effect was not very ideal.

After earnestly trying to persuade it for half a stick of incense, Ren Yidao could only accept the reality that the other party was beyond communication.

"Sigh, there's no other way."

Ren Yidao stopped his steps, wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes with compassion, and sighed:

"Killing life to protect life, cutting karma is not cutting people."

"Since you are obsessed and refuse to repent, then you cannot blame me for acting on behalf of Heaven."

Seeing Ren Yidao stop, General Crab's figure exploded forward, wanting to crush this damned fellow directly!

But the very next instant after its body pressed down, its massive body, several stories high, was flipped over directly!

Boom!

【Ying——】

An eight-tailed white fox, only half its size, flipped it onto the ground and elegantly and swiftly tore off its newly grown crab claw.

"Glug-glug!!!"

General Crab wailed in pain, and the remaining eight crab legs turned into sharp spears to stab at the white fox, but they were directly entangled by the eight waving tails and then forcibly torn off!

In just a few breaths, the giant beast that had been rampaging on the seabed just a moment ago had turned into a legless and armless crab-pig...

But Baihu Daoshen had no interest in the crab-pig; she used her tails to wrap around the crab legs, "installing" them on her back like external soul bones, controlling them to swing back and forth, pretending she was a crab.

The Dao God toyed with the remains of General Crab, while Ren Yidao stood leisurely with his hands behind his back on the back of the crab-pig.

"Friend, if Fallen into Demon and exploding one's potential were truly useful, why would anyone bother with bitter cultivation?"

If you could win just by exploding your potential, then what would there be to fight for?

The world would be at peace~

"The evil path, after all, cannot compare to the righteous path."

While lecturing General Crab and taking the opportunity to badmouth a certain woman surnamed Jing, Ren Yidao sighed, feeling somewhat emotional:

"If you were still clear-headed, you could have used that Killing Array to cause me some trouble, but unfortunately, you were not up to the task; I gave you a chance, but you were useless."

"Oh, right, there is one thing I forgot to tell you."

Ren Yidao leaned down, patted the crab shell encouragingly, and praised:

"Your crab claw is not bad; it tastes quite fragrant after being boiled."

"Keep working hard in your next life."

……

……

And while Ren Yidao was leisurely processing ingredients, the situation on the side of Yaoyue and Canglan was quite grim.

"Why?"

"Why did they attack directly?"

"To attack their own kind so easily, is this East Sea Dragon Palace trying to rebel against the Demon Race!?"

Canglan did not understand.

She was clearly dressed as a member of the Demon Race and had even taken the initiative to state that she had no malicious intent, so how could she still be attacked by those guarding the city?

Why on earth is this happening!!?
