Chapter 1749 - 1746: King Mantis Shrimp
Judging from the dragon roar just now, Li Chen already knew that the visitor was the Black Dragon Tribe’s Clan Leader.
Moreover, according to his speculation, these people from the Black Dragon Tribe might not necessarily be here for the cultivators.
But rather, they were after him.
After all, just before coming here, Li Chen had just killed two war generals under the Black Dragon Clan Leader’s command.
According to the timeline, it was only natural for the Black Dragon Clan Leader to find his way here.
Of course, he would never admit to any of this.
In Li Chen’s view, this was a force that could also be utilized.
Thinking of this, Li Chen feigned contemplation and said, "Now the Dragon Clan is in the southwest direction, about three thousand nautical miles away from here. There are three Dragon Clan members, the rest are just minions. We will break out towards the northeast, leaving this place as quickly as possible!"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, everyone present seemed to have found their backbone, feeling reassured and repeatedly thanking him.
Immediately, they all followed Li Chen’s lead and broke out toward the northeast.
However, having just escaped several thousand miles, they saw that ahead, the sea and sky merged into one color.
A colossal lobster with a golden cape, wielding two massive pincers, blocked their path.
Behind him were countless minions, rushing in like a tidal wave.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was greatly shocked.
With sharp eyes, Li Mengjiao immediately shouted in alarm, "It’s the Sea Clan General, King mantis shrimp!"
King mantis shrimp waved his gleaming giant pincers and shouted furiously, "You humans are like ants, daring to stir up trouble in our sea realm, truly seeking your own doom!"
After he finished speaking, he brandished his pincers to the sides and shouted, "Boys, get them! Capture all these insignificant humans for me!"
With King mantis shrimp’s order, countless minions brandished their weapons and surged forth turbulently.
Seeing this situation, everyone was filled with fear and looked toward Li Chen, who had become their backbone.
Li Chen remained expressionless and simply sneered coldly.
"Just a bunch of minions, yet you dare to spout such wild arrogance, courting death!"
As he spoke, the Seven-star Dragon Abyss in Li Chen’s hand suddenly raised, slashing out a lightning-like arc across the sky.
Accompanied by an immensely powerful and firm slice, the sea ahead split like silk, forming an unfathomable chasm.
The minions at the forefront couldn’t stop in time when faced with this sudden change and plunged into the abyss like moths flitting into the flame, one after another.
The cultivators saw that with just one move, Li Chen had thwarted the minions’ fervor.
With the ebb and flow like this, their morale surged immensely.
"Charge together, break through the encirclement!"
Snow Princess shouted urgently at the sight of this.
Li Mengjiao soared into the air, hovering in the void, casting an ice seal to freeze the once-stormy waters.
Many of the minions were sealed in ice, becoming frozen lobsters and crabs.
Master Jingkong was not to be outdone, raising the Dragon Subduing Staff high before smashing it down.
Soon, a coiling giant dragon appeared, dividing the sea into two. The concentrated golden beams shot out like a torrential rain shower.
Any minion hit by the golden light was instantly roasted, emitting a very pungent barbecue aroma.
The minions who were frozen thought their fate was already miserable enough.
But seeing their companions roasted by the golden light, they felt rather fortunate.
After all, being frozen at least left a glimmer of hope.
But being roasted meant it was all over.
While Master Jingkong and Li Mengjiao dealt with a group of minions fiercely, Li Chen and King mantis shrimp were also locked in a fierce battle.
"Petty humans, I advise you to surrender quietly. Offending me, King mantis shrimp, will not end well for you!"
Seeing the situation, Li Chen sneered with an air of disdain.
"Heh, if you think you have the right to make me suffer, you’re sorely mistaken."
King mantis shrimp, enraged by this, let out a hysterical roar and swung his giant pincers, smashing the water and raising towering waves to suppress Li Chen.
Facing this, Li Chen remained calm and unfazed, his expression unwavering.
With hands pressed together, he unleashed a Golden Handprint, striking directly toward King mantis shrimp.
"Boom!"
The sound of impact, like distant thunder, resounded across the sky and exploded with a roar.
The surrounding waves fell like Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers, splashing down in a shower.
Li Chen rose into the air again, unleashing another handprint in midair.
King mantis shrimp, facing this, quickly waved his pincers to block.
"Clang!"
A metallic clash rang out, like a Copper Bell, causing the entire world to tremble violently.
Unable to withstand Li Chen’s power, King mantis shrimp’s enormous body was sent plummeting down. With a massive splash, the sea where he once stood caved in into an unfathomable whirlpool.
"Take advantage of your weakness and take your life!"
Li Chen gave King mantis shrimp no chance to breathe, clenching his five fingers tightly, conjuring a ball of golden light from his palm, with threads of lightning swirling around it, appearing extremely terrifying.
Just as Li Chen was about to deliver the fatal blow to King mantis shrimp, a resounding dragon roar suddenly pierced through the vast void, drifting over.
Upon hearing this dragon roar, all the minions instantly stopped their actions and bowed their heads in submission.
At that moment, a dragon shadow, entwined in a colorful aura, soared into the sky.
This dragon shadow made a turn in the air, transforming into a graceful young girl.
If one ignored the horns atop her head, she looked almost the same as a Human Clan woman.
Seeing this Dragon Girl, King mantis shrimp, who had just been beaten up, immediately acted like an aggrieved child, seeing their parent, crying and complaining, "Oh, Princess, you’ve finally come, I’ve been bullied so badly, boo-hoo..."
The Dragon Girl looked at the beaten King mantis shrimp, her brows furrowing slightly.
"Mantis shrimp, stop talking for now, I’ll definitely seek justice for you!"
Having said this, she stared at Li Chen with wide eyes, full of indignation, and demanded angrily, "Who are you, and why did you come to the sea realm and bully my mantis shrimp?"
