The Wandering Immortal

Chapter 114 Crab Monster

Without hesitation, Jiang Yuan opened the spatial gate, took Qinghe inside, and then leaped into the sky, activating the divine sense spatial illusion array to unleash an extremely powerful pressure.

If someone is at level six or seven, they certainly won't be harmed by this fake pressure. However, mermaids below level four might suffer damage to their consciousness. Jiang Yuan's illusionary divine sense technique already has the ability to attack the enemy's consciousness.

Sure enough, the decadent music stopped instantly!
Jiang Yuan was worried that these mermaids wouldn't understand the language of the Central Plains, so he used his divine sense to communicate, "We kindly killed the great demon and saved the little mermaid, so why are we being retaliated against?"

To their surprise, no mermaids replied; instead, a powerful demon in human form suddenly appeared.

Jiang Yuan retreated half a mile into the air, sensing that the situation was not good. The great demon was probably a level eight strong, with an extremely ugly appearance, red and white stripes on its face, and two large pincers on its head. It must be a crab monster.

The crab monster raised its hand and unleashed a water spike, roaring, "You killed my son! Prepare to die!"

Jiang Yuan was shocked. The crab monster really did have a family, plus hundreds of merfolk, wasn't that a sect?
We've already killed that level 7 crab monster, what else can we do? Let's run for our lives!
Jiang Yuan dodged the water spikes and flew two miles into the sky. When he looked back, he saw that the crab monster had caught up with him, but he was alone and had no other helpers.

Thinking to myself, don't go too far. You're just a powerful water demon. If you really want to act tough in the sky, I won't mind taking your level eight demon core.

As Jiang Yuan flew higher into the sky, he sent a telepathic message to Qinghe in his magic treasure space. With the addition of the flower fairy Qiongniang, they could put up a fight.

The crab monster didn't stop at all. It released a magical artifact, which turned out to be a large pincer, and instantly caught up with Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan used his Emei thorns to parry, but the thorns were bounced half a mile away, and he barely managed to dodge the giant pincers.

The crab monster that caught up from behind chuckled sinisterly, "This junior only has such meager skills, yet he dares to impersonate a great cultivator?"

The crab monster was also startled by Jiang Yuan's illusionary power earlier, and was so angry that it chased after him to fight. Now that it saw that Jiang Yuan's escape speed was slow and his magic weapon's attack power was weak, it was bound to avenge the child.

They had now traveled seven or eight miles above the water and were above the clouds.

The crab monster unleashed its giant pincers once more, but Jiang Yuan was no longer intimidated. He fired twelve sword pellets, which formed a formation in front of him. The giant pincers struck the formation, sending sparks flying, but they failed to break through the defense.

Jiang Yuan thought to himself, "You're finished!"

The crab monster disagreed. When its large pincers failed to penetrate, it opened its mouth and spat out a bead.

Jiang Yuan was startled. Was he about to self-destruct his demon core? Could it be that bad?
When I looked again, the bead shone brightly and attacked, its speed nearly twice as fast as the large pincers.

Jiang Yuan gathered the twelve sword pellets into a ball, preparing to take the blow head-on, wanting to test the power of his new magic weapon.

"boom……"

The twelve sword pellets were blasted apart, and the bead was bounced back.

The crab monster then realized something was wrong. The kid had been hiding his true strength, but he was still unconvinced. He summoned back his two magical treasures, roared, and summoned a giant red crab.

Jiang Yuan knew that this old monster was using his true form and fighting desperately, so he had no choice but to accept him as his servant.

Jiang Yuan unleashed a water spell, using the clouds as cover, and with a tap of his magic weapon at his waist, Qinghe escaped.

The crab monster's consciousness was still above Jiang Yuan's, so it naturally knew that he had released his helpers.

The giant crab exhaled a string of bubbles, dozens of them of varying sizes, which looked quite eerie under the night sky.

Qinghe immediately launched an attack, twelve invisible arrows carrying peach blossoms, which struck the bubbles but did not burst. The bubbles actually swallowed the arrows and peach blossoms.

Qinghe was stunned for a moment, not expecting the bubbles to be so powerful.

Jiang Yuan was also startled. No wonder this giant crab dared to chase him into the sky; it actually possessed spatial supernatural powers. If he had used the sword pellet to rush forward just now, it might have been captured by the crab.

The bubbles drifted closer and closer, and Jiang Yuan unleashed a lightning spell, instantly popping two of them. The crab monster was also shocked; this person actually knew lightning magic, making him its nemesis.

Since lightning magic can break bubbles, then you can stay!
Jiang Yuan moved instantly, unleashing a barrage of lightning magic that shattered all the bubbles. Twelve dazzling sword pellets hurtled towards the giant crab at breakneck speed.

The crab monster brandished its large pincers, attempting to block the sword pellet attack. Unexpectedly, it was the pincers that were deflected this time.

It was too late to unleash the Light Pearl magic weapon; the three sword pellets were already in front of him.

Seeing that things were not going well, the crab monster suddenly plummeted and fled below the clouds.

Jiang Yuan wasn't about to let him escape. He kept attacking with his sword pellets, which clanged against the crab's hard shell, but he couldn't break through its defenses. He truly lived up to his reputation as an eighth-level demon.

Qinghe shot another arrow, this time not scattering the arrows, but concentrating them into one arrow, without even including the peach blossoms.

The giant crab scurried diagonally into the sea, leaving a gap behind its rear end. An invisible arrow shot through the gap.

The giant crab let out a miserable cry, clearly its defenses had been breached. The arrow was poisoned, and it was unknown how long it could withstand the attack.

In such a short time, the big crab will almost reach the surface of the sea. If it really gets into the water, all our efforts will be in vain.

Jiang Yuan unleashed the full power of his twelve sword pellets, which struck the sea surface. The twelve bright, star-like sword pellets spread for miles and instantly froze the sea upon entering the water.

The big crab desperately tried to dive into the water, but unexpectedly crashed headfirst into the thick ice.

Jiang Yuan followed closely behind, but instead of using lightning magic to avoid shattering the ice, he used water magic to spread out for a mile and give the giant crab a bath. His Ice Soul Divine Power then erupted, freezing the water into ice crystals.

The crab monster swung its huge pincers, shattering its entire body of ice crystals, and slammed it hard into the thick ice on the sea surface, causing the several-foot-thick ice to crack.

But it was no use. Jiang Yuan could still control the sword pellet on the ice, continuously releasing icy energy, making the ice surface thicker and thicker.

The water magic kept being used, and the giant crab's body was frozen to the ice.

Qinghe also cut out some thorns and used them to tie up the crab's large claws.

Seeing that it couldn't escape, the giant crab quickly separated its spirit from its body, trying to abandon its physical form and flee.

Jiang Yuan was prepared and instantly unleashed a lightning spell.

The crab monster's humanoid spirit was momentarily paralyzed, and then a peach wood hairpin was driven into its chest.

Jiang Yuan didn't even activate the red thread this time, so it's unknown whether the red thread still has any divine power. After the Heavenly Peach Mother's magic weapon is refined again, it should be enough to deal with the soul of an eighth-level demon.

Jiang Yuan didn't want any accidents to happen, so he raised his hand and set up a locking formation around the giant crab. He then drew a soul-locking talisman in mid-air and cast it into the formation.

The giant crab's primordial spirit was already immobile, and the addition of the Soul-Locking Talisman made it even worse. When Jiang Yuan cast the second Soul-Locking Talisman, the primordial spirit was already very weak.

The giant crab's spatial abilities were very strange. Jiang Yuan wouldn't let it die so easily. After weakening it to a certain extent, he took out a ten-thousand-year-old yin wood artifact and sealed the crab's soul inside.

Jiang Yuan deactivated the formation and recalled the sword pellet from the bottom of the water, but he didn't know how to attack the giant crab shell.

In the end, Qinghe had to use thorns to pull and a wooden stick to pry open the crab's thick shell before she could retrieve the demon core. Besides the demon core, there was also a sphere of light, its material unknown.

Jiang Yuan casually retrieved the large pincer magic weapon that had fallen onto the ice, and warily eyed the surrounding merfolk, who numbered about two or three hundred.

When the sword pellet froze the sea surface, the merfolk were very alert and quickly dived into the deep sea to hide. Now, however, they have resurfaced around the ice surface.
