Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1408 Killing the Ninth-Tier Crab King
Just as Liu Changxu and the ninth-tier Crab King were engaged in a fierce battle in the sky, Xiao Zier and the others on the deck were also controlling the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship, and had a head-on confrontation with the army of the Golden Crab Clan.

Dozens of spirit cannons on the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship simultaneously fired red cannon fire, bombarding the swarming crab demons ahead.

The Soul-Destroying Lamp at the bow of the ship emitted a dark purple Soul-Destroying Divine Light. Wherever the Soul-Destroying Divine Light swept, the crab demons fell down in swathes like harvested wheat. Its power was terrifying, and even a low-grade eighth-rank crab demon could not withstand it.

Meanwhile, the Fixed Sky Mirror shot out beams of silver light, which, together with the Spirit Cannon and the Soul Extinction Lamp, attacked the high-level crab demons. All the high-level crab demons that were covered by the mirror light were imprisoned in the void and then blasted into dust by the Spirit Cannon.

Although the crab demons were numerous and protected by their hard shells, they could not withstand such dense and terrifying firepower. They suffered heavy casualties in a short time, and the sea was filled with the broken corpses of the crab demons.

Upon seeing this, the dozen or so eighth-tier crab demons of the Golden Crab Clan quickly changed their tactics. Instead of charging in a group, they dispersed and pounced on the Sky Patrol Ship from all directions.

Although the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship possesses all-around attack capabilities, its firepower is inevitably constrained by this dispersed encirclement, significantly reducing its attack efficiency. The ship's hull is frequently struck by the crab demons' attacks, producing deafening roars. Fortunately, the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship's defenses are extremely strong, and the golden crab demons' attacks have not caused it serious damage.

"We can't get trapped!"

Seeing this, Xiao Zier quickly commanded the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship to adjust its flight direction, preparing to break out of the crab demons' encirclement!
Suddenly, the Ruyi Sky-Patrol Ship rose higher, its stern flashing with spiritual light, and instantly transformed into a streak of light, breaking through the crab demons' encirclement and speeding away into the distance.

The crab demons tried to give chase, but were quickly outpaced by the speed of the Sky Patrol Ship. Only three top-grade eighth-tier crab demons, with their formidable demonic power, were able to keep up with the speed of the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship.

Upon seeing that only three top-tier eighth-order beasts were chasing after them, Xiao Zier immediately seized the opportunity and decisively ordered the entire ship to concentrate its firepower to launch a fierce counterattack.

The eighth-tier top-grade crab demon, leading the charge, was unable to dodge in time and was enveloped by the Soul-Destroying Divine Light emitted from the Soul-Destroying Lamp. Its primordial spirit was immediately severely injured, and it let out a shrill scream. Immediately afterward, several beams of spiritual cannon light accurately struck its body, instantly shattering its crab shell and splattering blood. Unable to hold on any longer, it hurriedly fell into the sea and withdrew from the battlefield.

Another top-grade eighth-tier crab demon was about to change direction when it was firmly locked in the void by the silver threads of the Void-Fixing Mirror, unable to move. The seven spirit cannons fired simultaneously, the beams of light piercing through its crab shell and instantly shattering its physical body. Only a faint primordial spirit managed to escape and flee in a sorry state.

Finally, seeing the situation was dire, the eighth-tier top-grade crab demon dared not linger in battle. It plunged into the sea and fled towards Golden Ring Island with all its might, managing to escape unharmed.

Seeing the crab demon's departing figure, Xiao Zi'er did not chase after it, but instead gave the order to rest!

Although they ultimately won the battle, they also faced considerable risks. Therefore, Xiao Zi'er plans to wait until her husband defeats the Ninth-Tier Crab Queen before launching a large-scale attack on the Golden Crabs on Golden Ring Island.

She knew very well that no matter how well her side was doing, the key to the outcome of this war would ultimately be the duel between her husband and the ninth-tier crab king.

At this moment, Liu Changxu had gained an overwhelming advantage in his fight against the ninth-tier Crab King.

The soul-destroying divine light emitted by the Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp had thoroughly damaged the primordial spirit of this low-grade ninth-rank crab king. Suffering such severe damage, the crab king was in excruciating pain and almost lost its ability to think.

Unfortunately, its body was firmly imprisoned in the void by the silver mirror light emitted from the Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror, becoming a live target of the Red Lotus Sword Formation composed of thirty-six Red Lotus Immortal Swords, constantly enduring the fierce attacks of the Red Lotus Immortal Swords.

Fortunately, the ninth-tier crab king has extremely strong defense, which is why it has lasted until now. However, as time goes by, its injuries are becoming more and more serious.

With the successive addition of top-grade eighth-tier innate spiritual treasures such as the Ruyi Golden Spirit Pearl, the Ruyi Xuanhuang Pagoda, the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd, and the Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron to the battle, the process of the ninth-tier Crab King's demise was further accelerated.

Seeing their Crab King in peril, the golden crab demons on Golden Ring Island rushed to its aid, only to be blocked by the spatial barrier casually erected by Liu Changxu, unable to get close enough to help. To avoid further complications, Liu Changxu quickened his pace of attack. Under the combined assault of numerous innate spiritual treasures, this low-grade ninth-tier Crab King ultimately could not escape its fate of destruction; even its primordial spirit was not spared, utterly annihilated by the Soul-Destroying Divine Light emitted from the Ruyi Soul-Destroying Lamp.

After killing the ninth-tier low-grade crab queen, Liu Changxu did not immediately attack the remaining golden crab demons on Golden Ring Island. Instead, he quickly took out a jade bottle from his storage bracelet and carefully collected the demon blood of the ninth-tier crab queen.

It should be noted that the demon blood of this ninth-tier crab king is an extremely precious ninth-tier spiritual item, and its value is far greater than that of killing those low-tier crab demons.

Seeing Liu Changxu successfully kill the ninth-tier Crab Queen, Xiao Zier and the others who were watching from afar immediately commanded and controlled the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship to launch a fierce counterattack against the golden crab demons on the island.

Having lost the protection of the ninth-tier Crab King, the golden crab demons, facing the fierce attack launched by the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship, had long lost the will to fight and scattered in all directions.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Qier and the others immediately volunteered to fight, intending to leave the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship and pursue the scattered Golden Crab Demons.

However, Xiao Zi'er had many concerns: there were numerous eighth-tier crab demons among the golden crab demons, and if the group left the patrol ship and encountered a counterattack from the eighth-tier golden crab demons, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses. Therefore, she politely declined everyone's request to fight.

After Liu Changxu finished dealing with the corpse of the ninth-tier crab king and came to the group, Zhao Qier and the others turned to him and asked to fight again.

However, to everyone's disappointment, Liu Changxu also refused their request for the same reason.

After refusing everyone's request to attack, Liu Changxu began to hunt down the fleeing golden crab demons.

He moved across the battlefield like a golden lightning bolt, and wherever he went, the fleeing crab demons perished.

He paid special attention to those eighth-tier crab demons—no matter whether they dived into the deep sea or hid in the crevices of the reefs, they could not escape Liu Changxu's divine sense lock.

With a casual wave of his hand, he unleashed beams of spiritual light imbued with terrifying power. The eighth-tier crab demons that were targeted were often killed before they could even scream.

After a fierce chase, aside from a very few eighth-tier crab demons who reacted quickly and had already escaped far away, almost all the rest became victims of Liu Changxu's sword. More and more crab demon corpses floated on the sea surface, turning the originally azure seawater into a golden-red color.

Only after confirming that no more eighth-tier crab demons had escaped did Liu Changxu transmit his voice to the eager Xiao Zier:
"We can launch an attack now."

Upon receiving the order, Xiao Zier immediately relayed the command to the expeditionary force soldiers, who were fully equipped and ready to depart, within the inner space:

"All expeditionary forces, listen to my command! Attack Golden Ring Island and wipe out the remaining crab demons!"

At this moment, the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship hovering above Golden Ring Island suddenly shone brightly, and dozens of teleportation portals, each about ten feet tall, appeared on the bulkheads on both sides of the ship. Inside the portals, light shimmered, which were the teleportation arrays connecting the ship's interior space.

The next moment, countless figures poured out of the teleportation portal. Two hundred thousand human expeditionary soldiers, dressed in uniform spirit armor and wielding various magical weapons, landed on Golden Ring Island like divine soldiers descending from the sky.

Their movements were synchronized as they landed; the moment their toes touched the ground, they swiftly formed battle formations and launched a full-scale attack on the remaining golden crab demons, who were now in a state of panic. Shouts of battle, the clash of spells, and the roars of the crab demons mingled together, echoing throughout Golden Ring Island.
