Chapter 281: Tell Me Where the Universe Pearl Is

Su Chen and the others were enveloped within a water bubble, and that bubble expanded outward rapidly, at a very high speed.

Lanbo, seeing the duck that was already at his mouth fly away, was naturally unwilling to accept it and immediately moved to give chase.

But Aoweisi clung tightly to him, entangling him.

It was not currently the Blood Moon Night, so Lanbo's cultivation was weakened to a certain degree; furthermore, having just broken the Mermaid Race's seal, he was truly locked in battle with Aoweisi and unable to break free.

"If you won't let me go, then use this old thing's life to pay for it."

Lanbo was anxious and annoyed in his heart, wanting to go out and chase Su Chen and the others but unable to break free; in a fit of shame and anger, he directly grabbed the powerless Aoweide.

Aoweisi's pupils shrank slightly, as if he had already sensed what Lanbo was about to do; he let out a painful scream and instinctively moved to stop Lanbo's actions.

But Aoweide was already at the end of his rope, having lost all Spiritual Power and being no different from a cripple, so he naturally could not break free; Lanbo twisted with force, and Aoweide's neck was snapped.

Seeing his own biological brother die before his eyes while being unable to do anything, Aoweisi's eyes turned blood-red, wishing he could tear Lanbo into a thousand pieces.

At this moment, his life force was almost completely burned out, and he could fully feel his strength continuously slipping away; in less than a quarter of an hour, he would become a cripple.

With scarlet eyes, he surged up violently and shouted hoarsely, "You conscience-less fiend, I will definitely make you pay the price you deserve!"

As his voice fell, he rushed toward Lanbo, but Lanbo had already sensed his Spiritual Power fading and naturally did not take him seriously, waving a hand to slap him flying against the wall.

The stone fragments on the wall pierced directly into his chest, dripping with blood; his face, neck, and forearms were covered in wounds, and he had already become a bloody mess.

Aoweisi frowned in pain, not letting out a single sound, and simply continued to charge toward Lanbo.

But the result was still being slapped away.

He was slapped away time and time again, and the other members of the Mermaid Race could no longer bear to watch, crazily rushing toward Lanbo all at once.

But the cultivation of those clansmen was low and weak, which to Lanbo was no different from a tickle.

Lanbo grabbed a Mermaid Race member who rushed over and sucked his blood dry.

Afterward, he discarded the body in disgust and grabbed another mermaid to repeat the previous action.

"Damn it, coming out on this trip, I haven't gained anything; since that's the case, use your lives to pay for it. Although it tastes a bit bad, at least it's something."

Lanbo's arrogant voice came through.

Aoweisi had no strength left at this moment and was breathing heavily; seeing this cruel slaughter, he struggled to crawl up, using his final strength to protect his clansmen.

But he had no strength left at all, and even the bones in his body had been broken; at this moment, he could not even manifest his legs, leaving only a tattered fish tail, its scales knocked off to reveal large patches of flesh and blood, with some places deep enough to see bone, looking exceptionally ghastly.

"You all... run quickly... don't worry about... me."

Aoweisi said these words with all his might.

But at a time like this, no member of the Mermaid Race could bring themselves to abandon the Elder who had protected them until death; even if they died here today, they would be buried with the Elder.

Lanbo sneered, "A group of ants daring to try and defy the heavens to change their fate. Didn't you burn your life? Today, I will let you watch as your clansmen are drained of their essence and blood by me one by one, while you can only lie there like a piece of trash, unable to do anything!" As his voice fell, Lanbo's five fingers turned into claws, and he grabbed two mermaids with both hands, directly beginning to suck their blood wantonly; those mermaids struggled desperately, but it was to no avail, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into dried fish.

The desperate struggles of the other mermaids were merely a drop in the bucket, and in the end, their fate was also a dead end.

Seeing this scene before him, Aoweisi shouted in pain, "No!"

But he was now on the verge of death, and having said those words, large mouthfuls of blood surged up, instantly blurring his voice and making him unable to speak.

Lanbo killed all the mermaids, stepped hard on Aoweisi's skull, and ground his foot several times, saying gloomily with the blood of the Mermaid Race members still hanging on his mouth.

"Weren't you quite capable just now? Why aren't you standing up to fight me now? An ant hoping to defy the heavens and change its fate to become a phoenix; today, I will tell you, this is the end of going against me."

Aoweisi felt as if his skull were about to be crushed, and his internal organs felt as if they were being torn apart; following his vigorous struggling, blood continuously seeped out, almost staining the ground red.

The intense pain eroded his will, and his vision began to blur, but Lanbo's hateful face was exceptionally clear in his eyes.

"Tell me where the Universe Pearl of your race is. If you can tell me, I might barely spare your life; otherwise, what awaits you is the same end as them!"

Lanbo looked at Aoweisi viciously, grabbing his hair and lifting his entire body up.

Aoweisi felt as if his scalp were about to be torn off, his vision a blur of blood and flesh, and blood flowed down his forehead into his eyes, but he seemed completely unaware, suddenly laughing wildly.

"What the hell are you laughing at? Tell me where the Universe Pearl is, or I will destroy your entire Mermaid Cave, and even if I have to dig three feet deep, I will find the Universe Pearl. Don't think you'll have it easy either; I will definitely make you wish you were dead!"

Lanbo looked at his appearance and felt as if he had punched a cotton ball, his anger rising.

"Want to know where it is?"

Aoweisi gritted his teeth and said word by word; just these few short words seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

Lanbo looked at him, his gaze deep and dark, his whole body filled with a cold aura.

"Even if I die, I won't tell you, so you'll never get it for the rest of your life!"

Aoweisi said these words with all his might, instantly met with a slap from Lanbo.

"You ant!"

Lanbo said in a fit of rage, directly throwing him to the side.

Immediately after, he instantly began to use his Spiritual Power to search everything around him, determined to find the Universe Pearl.

He didn't believe that in such a small place as the Mermaid Race, he couldn't find one Universe Pearl.

Aoweisi panted heavily, looking coldly at Lanbo searching incessantly, and said with a look of satisfaction, "Even if you kill me and destroy the entire Mermaid Race, you will definitely never find it!"
