Chapter 2768: Arguing with the Ocean Demon

Mo Fan was shocked. ‘T-The Squid King can talk?! What the hell?! Can it understand human language?!’

‘Not. That’s not it.’

It was a kind of psychic communication. Even though Mo Fan did not hear any voices, the Squid King with the strange lump transmitted its messages to his mind through telepathic means.

‘Come in and I’ll kill you! We have a type of food called squid skewers that are seasoned with salad and BBQ sauce! It tastes even better if it’s fresh. Come in and I’ll roast you alive!’ Mo Fan cussed at the Squid King.

‘That’s very daring of you, puny human! Come out now! I’ll ask my men to get out of the way and personally kill you!’ the Squid King said angrily.

‘Do you think I’m an idiot? Come inside if you dare! I’ll ask my comrades to stand aside and slaughter you by myself. Do you really think you’re a ruler among the Ocean Demons just because you have so much power?! I thought you and your horde proclaimed yourselves as the supreme rulers of Earth! You call yourselves the Ocean Godly Horde and that you’re better than every other race, right?! Hah! Are the rest of the Godly Hordes as stupid as you? Do you know what it means to fight one-on-one? When humans are in conflict with each other, it’s an unwritten rule that they fight each other one-on-one, and the others are not allowed to interfere. It’s a fair fight. Otherwise, it is a thing of shame to interfere and cheat. And do the filthy and despicable Ocean Demons fight in this civilized and noble manner? You’re just lowly creatures in this world and don’t know how to fight in the right way. Do you know what art is?! Are you aware of the code of a mage?!’ Mo Fan continued to cuss at the Squid King.

The Squid King flew into a fit of rage and smacked the Aquarius frantically with its tentacles. The Aquarius was extremely hard, and it could even scratch it. It would have certainly ripped Mo Fan with its teeth if it could.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yu stared at Mo Fan in shock. Night Rakshasa was equally stunned. Its jaw dropped, revealing its little cat teeth and tongue. Both Jiang Yu and Night Rakshasa were impressed.

Mo Fan was already impressive since he had argued with the entire national team while he was still in school. But they never expected him to argue with the Squid King.

The Squid King was enraged. It charged at the bottleneck of the Aquarius violently.

The bottleneck of the Aquarius was narrow. It was equivalent to the entrance of a valley with limited areas, and the entrance was crowded with Hunter Dirty Demons and the Stingray Legion. They had blocked the bottleneck of the Aquarius with their numbers, and not a single gap was left. It was not an exaggeration to say that the Ocean Demons had piled up into a mountain at the entrance.

The Squid King removed the Hunter Dirty Demons and Stingray Legion with its tentacles. It flung the Ocean Demons away with its terrifying tentacles in order to pave a path for itself. After that, it burrowed into the Aquarius through the bottleneck in fury.

Since the Aquarius could take in all of Blue River Silver Valley, its bottleneck was not actually too narrow. When the Squid King made its way through the bottleneck, it ignored the three Royal Great Mages and charged at Mo Fan.

“Be careful! It’s an Overlord!” Pang Lai screamed.

Usually, mages worked hand in hand to defeat such a formidable foe. The four Guardian Mages were well-prepared to fight it.

The four Guardian Mages under Pang Lai’s lead were outstanding. They were top-notched Super Level mages who had completed their cultivation in the four elements. Therefore, they could face even the strongest among the Ruler-level Ocean Demons.

However, the Squid King had no interest in any of the mages. It just charged toward the city center.

“Stop it! Don’t let it get behind us!” said one of the four Guardian Mages.

“The Blue-Haired Female Demon and the Deep-Sea Lizard Dragon Demon troops are coming!”

“Be careful of the Ruler-level Hunter Dirty Demon! That one with a red-blue head!”

Pang Lai frowned. It was clear that the four Guardian Mages could not cope with so many Ocean Demons at once. Pang Lai had to personally confront the Squid King.

“Old Pang, leave it to me. It’s coming for me,” said Mo Fan.

“Why are you still joking around at a time like this?! You youngsters should escape while you can!” Ye Mei’s voice came from the bottom of the Aquarius.

Mo Fan turned to her, only to realize the not-so-friendly female mage was standing at the river waterfall. The river flowed from the city center to the sea through the mountain valley. The blue silver river was the axis that connected the city and the Aquarius.

It was clear that the river was a key position in the magic formation. Ye Mei’s strength was second only to Pang Lai. Hence, she could not leave her position.

“Ye Mei, trust him. He’s not one to brag,” Pang Lai said to Ye Mei.

“Pang Lai, it’s a very powerful Ruler-level demon that even the four Guardian Mages might not be able to take on. Yet you allow the young mage to take it on alone, are you mad?! We can’t let him die!” Ye Mei shouted. She was anxious. The situation was dire.

“You hold on to your position and leave the rest to me,” Pang Lai said firmly.

Ye Mei was annoyed.

If Ye Mei insisted on helping, the sturdiness of the Aquarius would drop significantly, and the lives of her teammates would be at stake. Even Commander Hua would be affected adversely. She closed her eyes imagining the horrible things that were bound to happen.

…

Meanwhile, Mo Fan was facing the square avenue at the central hexagonal fountain square.

The square avenue was spacious and magnificent. There were many tall buildings and malls along the street. The buildings were built in American architectural style.

However, when the Squid King made its way here. The buildings along the street collapsed. They smashed onto the ground. The buildings along the streets looked as if they had been blasted by bombs. It was terrifying to behold.

Jiang Yu looked pale. He did not want to confront such a monster!

‘Arsehole! If not for the fact that there’s no light under the sea, an ugly monster like you would never find a mate to produce an offspring. Go back and produce a bastard with a Sea Monkey! I don’t want to slaughter you and lead your species to extinction. We like having delicious squid dishes!”

Jiang Yu almost fainted seeing Mo Fan provoke the creature.

‘It’s coming in a fit of rage. Can you stop cursing so that it will at least show some mercy to you?!’

‘I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!’ The Squid King was furious. It slammed its tentacles across the buildings like slamming toy blocks.

As Mo Fan kept provoking it, he slowly reached out for the Totem Orb on his waist. The Totem Orb glowed in dim light. A wisp of eerie fog spread out from it and gradually enveloped the fountain square area.

The Squid King burst into anger. It was not afraid of its enemy despite being inside the Aquarius. Humans were too weak to kill a powerful Ruler-level demon!

The fog grew thicker, and the bottom of the Aquarius was barely visible. They barely saw an enormous and lengthy figure appear in the middle of the fog. Jiang Yu stepped forward to be able to see it. He saw part of a snake body on the glass wall of a tall building. When he looked back, he noticed there was a long body of snake slithering behind him between the buildings…

How could this snake be so gigantic?!

“Black Totem Snake, destroy it!” Mo Fan sneered.
