This Journey to the West is so terrifying
Chapter 460 - 319: Slaughter
Even they couldn’t help but be shocked by the boldness of the princes.
For so many years, the Dragon Clan had always been led by the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, and it seemed that everyone had grown accustomed to their rule.
However, today, these princes were clamoring for the Dragon Clan to turn Heaven and Earth upside down, a sentiment that naturally carried significant implications.
"This isn’t rebellion, their thinking is too outdated, like a piece of wood that’s begun to rot and can no longer sprout new growth. If this continues, the Dragon Clan will only grow weaker and eventually disappear from the Three Realms entirely," they said.
"We are proud dragons, how could we accept such an end? We see the future, and naturally, we will strive to change it. Anyone who dares stand in our way will die," they said.
The Dragon Sons had a resolute look in their eyes, and the words they spoke were filled with a murderous aura, showing the generals their inevitable fate.
In order to take control of the situation, death was their only outcome, for the princes would not allow them to continue living.
"You’re still too green to kill us!"
At this moment, the Crab Generals and the others knew that if they didn’t resist, death was imminent, so they decided to fight to the death, taking up their weapons and launching an attack on the Dragon Sons.
This turn of events took everyone by surprise; no one expected these individuals, whose will had been eroded by a life of luxury, to so decisively launch an attack at the last moment.
After all, these princes were true members of the Dragon Clan, naturally subject to the suppression of their bloodline.
However, the resolved strike by the Crab Generals and the others did not evoke even a trace of fear from Ao Ming and his cohort.
Ao Ming extended his hand with ease, lifting the Crab General into the air, and said with a light laugh, "You still won’t believe it when we call you trash? With such little strength, you dare to lead a grand army and battle the Demon Clan. Don’t disgrace the aquatic creatures of the Four Seas."
The Crab Generals and the others looked on incredulously at the Dragon Sons; they hadn’t expected the gap in strength between them to be so vast.
These individuals, who normally didn’t show off their abilities, were actually incredibly powerful, and their own forces couldn’t even make it through a single round before being captured.
"We gave you some face before, spared you from an utterly disgraceful defeat. But who would have thought you wouldn’t give up? Since that’s the case, just die here. Your deaths will serve as a warning," Ao Ming said coldly.
At the same time, intense pain spread throughout their bodies, causing them to struggle fiercely, but the gap in strength had already determined the outcome.
In no time at all, they slowly closed their eyes, ending their lives.
Ao Ming, with a look of disdain, threw the Crab General’s corpse on the ground and dusted off his hands, saying, "With such trash leading the army, it’s no wonder our Dragon Clan is weakening by the day."
"We must seize this opportunity well and show those old stubborn fools that we are the future of the Dragon Clan."
The Dragon Sons were brimming with confidence, as if they could already see the Dragon Clan rising again, with themselves as the greatest contributors, receiving cheers and worship from the countless aquatic races.
However, even so, an internal purge was inevitable, for after having been entrenched in the army for so long, there were bound to be some diehard loyalists left.
Blood and slaughter permeated the camp of the aquatic races; the seawater became tinged with red.
The Great Sage who Overturns the Seas and the Green Flood Dragon, along with a host of monsters, arrived at the scene and saw the sea water gradually turning red.
"It seems the internal strife has begun!" the Green Flood Dragon said gravely.
When the news from the allied armies of the four seas reached them, they keenly sensed that an internal conflict would erupt within this makeshift alliance.
Shifts in power often come with bloodshed and slaughter, a pattern all sentient beings cannot escape.
The Great Sage who Overturns the Seas and the others were well aware that this was a golden opportunity, a chance to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
Without any hesitation, they brought all the troops they could muster, hoping to use this opportunity to teach the allied armies of the Four Seas a brutal lesson.
"What a gift from heaven!" the Great Sage who Overturns the Seas laughed as he looked at the blood-tainted water.
The power at sea between Luzhou in the North and the Four Seas was too great a disparity; for so long, the Great Sage who Overturns the Seas had managed only a handful of minor forces.
If there were to be an all-out war, with the forces at his disposal now, he simply couldn’t sustain a prolonged combat.
The crowd followed the trail of blood into the sea, and soon the sounds of battle cries could be heard.
"Charge into their ranks and slaughter them!"
At the command, the Demon Clan’s army surged ferociously into the allied forces’ positions, and a massacre unfolded.
Neither the Dragon Sons nor the rest of the Aquatic Races had expected the Demon Clan to arrive so swiftly, and for a moment they were caught off guard.
A major rout soon began, and the Great Sage who Overturns the Seas would not miss such an opportunity, leading his followers into a fierce fray, with countless bodies of the Aquatic Races floating on the ocean, turning the vast sea red with blood.
Numerous fish were drawn to the scene, nibbling at the corpses. Perhaps it wouldn’t take long before new monsters would emerge among these fish, starting the cycle of life once again.
The slaughter lasted an entire night, and only when the dawn shed its light, and a red sun rose slowly from the east, bringing sunlight to Heaven and Earth, did it finally come to an end.
The members of the Demon Clan didn’t even know how many they had killed, soaked in blood, their weapons warped from use.
"Thrilling!" shouted the Great Sage who Overturns the Seas.
Last night’s battle was exhilarating, with the allied forces of the Four Seas collapsing faster than imagined, presenting them with an unprecedented opportunity, leading to this bloody feast.
Now that the feast was over, everyone looked around, and not a single Aquatic creature was in sight.
The Green Flood Dragon kicked away a corpse by his side and said with a smile, "After this slaughter, it’ll be hard for the allied armies of the Four Seas to mount an attack on us anytime soon."
He didn’t know how many of the Aquatic creatures of the Four Seas had perished in the battle, but it was enough to intimidate them.
"Indeed, who would have thought that these people would present us with such a big gift," the Great Sage who Overturns the Seas also said with a smile.
The outcome of this battle was beyond his expectations. He had been concerned that he wouldn’t be able to hold this line of defense, and if the Heavenly Court opened a new front, the Demon Clan would be forced into a passive position, and the situation they had managed to gain with such difficulty might undergo a drastic change.
He would become the sinner of the Demon Clan.
"We should return to regroup. Next, we’ll see what moves they make," said the Great Sage who Overturns the Seas in a grave voice.
"Moves? I bet you nine times out of ten the Old Dragon King is scared witless. I don’t think it will take many days before the Dragon Clan starts to retreat," said a Demon King, his face full of mirth.
"That’s not necessarily the case. If it were those old dragons, they wouldn’t send out troops at all. There must have been some turmoil within the Dragon Clan. We still need to be cautious and watch for changes," the Green Flood Dragon said with a sober expression.
