Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 218 Striking the East Sea

Guan Xun traveled eastward, already knowing where Chi Rong was. She came here simply to find out what had happened back then.

There was nowhere to stand on the vast East China Sea.

The seawater was a clear blue, and you could vaguely see fish swimming below.

Guan Xun stood on tiptoe, and ripples immediately spread across the sea.

She looked around but didn't detect any strong auras of demonic beasts in the vicinity; there were mostly animals that hadn't yet reached a certain level.

This was a vast ocean of unknown depths, so she couldn't rush in recklessly. After a moment's thought, she came up with an idea.

The spiritual energy surged rapidly to his feet, and then he stomped heavily on the sea!

The seawater splashed out instantly, forming a huge puddle. The spiritual energy rushed into the water, stirring the sea like an earthquake. The seawater within a radius of several miles was turbulent, forming one whirlpool after another.

Faced with this sudden disaster, the frightened sea fish scattered in all directions, fearing that if they were a second late, they would be swept into the whirlpool and die under the pressure of the seawater.

"What's wrong with this human?!" some of the sea fish cried out in fear as they dodged away.

"What happened that made you take your anger out on us???"

"Outrageous! All humans are like this!"

"My newly built home is gone."

"Damn humans, let's drag her into the water and drown her."

"..."

"..."

"Her aura is terrifying. Our team is no match for her... Let's not go and die. Let's run away quickly."

"Perhaps there is something that can deal with her."

Upon hearing this, the sea serpent beside him immediately shuddered: "You mean... the overlord of the abyss, the Demon Soul Giant Crab."

"Hmm, it must have noticed the commotion in the sea."

……

Seeing that there was no movement underwater, Guan Xun frowned, his eyes sharpened, and he stomped down heavily with his foot!

"boom!!!"

The deafening roar and the surge of spiritual energy nearly triggered a tsunami.

If an area is so peaceful, there must be a leader who can make a name for themselves. As long as the commotion is big enough, the other party will inevitably come out.

Sure enough, before the shockwave from the spiritual energy impact had completely subsided, a powerful aura surged from the bottom of the sea to the surface.

Several more loud bangs followed, sending countless splashes of water soaring into the air, accompanied by a furious roar.

"Who's causing trouble on my turf!"

Guan Xun smiled slightly. "Here it comes."

A razor-sharp, hard-armored limb shot out rapidly from the churning sea!

It moved with incredible speed, so fast that the naked eye could only catch a fleeting afterimage. Its limbs flashed with a cold light as it fiercely attacked Guan Xun.

With a wave of her hand, dark flames swirled around it, stopping the limb in mid-air. A crisp, loud crack was heard, and the terrifyingly sharp limb was snapped off and sent flying away without a trace.

Seeing the blood still flowing from its severed leg, the Demon Soul Giant Crab let out a painful roar.

"What! One move?"

Its prized long legs, the very limbs used as weapons, were so easily broken off?!

Its body emerged from the sea, its massive form comparable to a small island. Its round, oval eyes turned and instantly locked onto the white-clad figure high in the sky.

Upon seeing that its opponent was an incredibly thin human, so frail that it could be crushed with a single sit on him, it instantly lost its mind. Several limbs thrashed about in the water as it charged straight at its target!

No one in the entire East China Sea has the strength to overwhelm it, so it has naturally become somewhat arrogant, thinking that the other party was just lucky to break its limbs.

Guan Xun narrowed his eyes and casually snapped his fingers, shattering the attacking limbs into pieces.

The wreckage fell, staining the water red.

"Ah!!!" The Demon Soul Giant Crab screamed a few times, looking at the other party's calm and composed appearance in disbelief, and finally felt the fear.

It hadn't felt that kind of soul-piercing fear for a very, very long time. The last time was many years ago, when two divine beasts fought above the East Sea.

What terrible humans!

It had no doubt that the other party could crush it with a single foot.

It's trying to escape!

No matter how strong a human is, they can never stay in the deep sea for too long. As long as they escape back to the bottom of the deep sea, they can escape their fate. Even if they are caught, given their familiarity with the underwater world, it is very easy for them to shake off their pursuers.

After thinking it over, the Demon Soul Giant Crab retracted a few limbs and immediately dived into the water.

However, just as it was about to escape, several fiery red whips lashed out at it, binding its entire body tightly.

No matter how hard it ripped and creaked, it couldn't escape.

A chill ran through it, and it cried out for mercy, blaming itself for striking first and trying to hurt someone.

"So you're the overlord of the East Sea? How can you be so cowardly?" Guan Xun clicked his tongue twice.

The Demon Soul Giant Crab shuddered: "Heroine, Immortal! Just tell me what you need. Cultivation is hard-earned, please spare my life."

"Let's see how you do." Guan Xun's skirt swayed slightly as she stepped directly onto the head of the Demon Soul Giant Crab.

Looking at its two tentacles, which were curled up in a ball, he asked, "Did you see two divine beasts passing by this place back then?"

The Demon Soul Giant Crab froze. Divine beasts? This person actually came for those two terrifying divine beasts.

"Yes, yes, I've seen it before." It nodded hurriedly. "Back then, I was resting comfortably in the middle of the ocean, with countless delicious fish and shrimp to eat and countless beautiful crabs to accompany me. Suddenly, for some reason, the entire ocean began to churn, with countless waves crashing one after another! I wanted to come out and see who was causing trouble here, but as soon as my head popped out of the water, guess what? I was hit in the face by a huge creature! It knocked me straight back to the bottom of the deep sea and buried me in the mud... I was so angry, I kept digging at the mud, I dug and dug and dug..."

As it spoke with great enthusiasm, Guan Xun's brows furrowed with impatience. She half-squatted down and tapped its forehead with her knuckles: "You don't plan to keep the other two legs either, do you? Stop talking nonsense."

"You're right." The Demon Soul Giant Crab shuddered and chuckled dryly. "When I cautiously surfaced again, I saw two gigantic shadows accompanied by countless starlight and fluctuations of spiritual energy. They darted back and forth within a cloud of colorful light, their aura terrifying!"

"The most terrifying thing was that I felt a pressure from my bloodline that made me want to submit. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that they were two divine beast-level monsters! They were fighting to the death, and it seemed that their hatred was not shallow."

"The white python with eight heads was clearly stronger than the other one. No matter how you looked at it, the other red python was being unilaterally crushed and was finally severely injured and thrown to the surface of the sea! Its scales were torn open, its body was covered in blood, and even the two long horns on its head were broken and incomplete. Even I, who have been fighting for many years, have never seen such a miserable appearance in my life."

Guan Xun frowned. It was understandable that Chi Rong was so badly injured, since it was starting to cultivate again just like him. Ling Qi, on the other hand, had a million years of cultivation.

"And then?" she pressed.

As if it had thought of something, the Demon Soul Giant Scorpion suddenly trembled violently. If it were in human form, its pale face would be visible, clearly caused by a deep-seated fear.

"Then... a huge hole was suddenly torn open in the clear sky. It was pitch black inside, and I couldn't see anything. I just felt that the aura inside was terrifying. That feeling... was far beyond what the two divine beasts could compare to. I can't explain the specifics, but I felt that if I looked at it for too long, my soul would be torn apart."

"Not only me, but after that opening was made, the two divine beasts also looked very frightened. The white python was especially timid and hesitant. Then, as if it had received some order, it led the injured and unconscious red python inside."

"A pitch-black opening..." Guan Xun pondered. After Chi Rong was taken away, he appeared in Zhongtan Holy City, so this opening must have been torn open from the void.

So, Guan Qi... is in Zhongtan Holy City.

Very well, then let's settle both the old and new scores together.

Hearing a cold laugh from above, the Demon Soul Giant Crab froze, its smile becoming somewhat ingratiating: "Heroine, I've told you everything I know. Would you consider letting me..."

It made a back-to-water gesture.

Guan Xun raised his phoenix eyes slightly, placed his palm on its hard shell, and as he spoke slowly, spiritual power surged from his palm, pressing down heavily.

"I'll keep your beast core safe for you."

The defeat was instantaneous, without any warning, and a beast core, still emitting a chilling aura, floated on the water's surface.

Guan Xun took it and said, "Not bad."

Having said that, it flapped its wings and left the place.

The vast East China Sea once again became bustling with activity. Heads popped out of the water, timidly looking in the direction the figures had gone, then glancing at the corpse of the Demon Soul Giant Crab floating on the surface of the sea, their fear palpable.
