Chapter 543: Lord Pipi, Double the Reward for the Old Man
"So many Pipi shrimp..." At this moment, within the royal palace of the sea clan, the last remaining experts of the sea clan looked around. The entire deep sea was filled with countless Pipi shrimp.
The construction of the sea clan's royal palace was quite luxurious. Many luminous bug-beast bodies were smeared on the palace walls, and numerous night pearls were embedded on the palace's roof.
This caused the entire sea clan's royal palace to emit a soft glow, illuminating the deep sea for hundreds of miles around.
So, when the sea clan looked around, all they could see within their sight was nothing but Pipi shrimp!
"Listen, sea clan! You are surrounded! Surrender peacefully!" At this moment, a figure in a luxurious golden robe and wearing a mask slowly stood up and shouted loudly.
It was none other than a Pipi shrimp, standing in the central area among three hundred million Pipi shrimp, sitting on a luxurious golden sedan.
"Is that the Pipi Shrimp King?" Many sea clan members immediately identified the Pipi shrimp in the golden robe and mask.
"Hmph, Pipi shrimp, don't think you can win! This sea clan royal palace has the strongest fifth-grade defense formation! We sea clan paid a huge price to have it arranged by a formation master invited from the human race above! With you bunch of losers, you'll never break the formation in your lifetime!" At this moment, the newly appointed head of the Golden Scale tribe of the sea clan, a Sea Realm Initial Stage expert, shouted loudly.
"That's right, gathered here are the last elite forces of our sea clan!"
"Hmph, here, we have a total of six Sea Realm Initial Stage sea clan experts. You Pipi shrimp dare to come here? You're seeking death!"
"This sea clan royal palace is something you will never breach!"
...
From a higher place in the sea clan royal palace, dozens of senior sea clan members spoke up.
Almost all of them were the last experts of the sea clan's nine major tribes—six at the Sea Realm Initial Stage and more than twenty at the Half-Step Sea Realm.
They used to control the vast sea region and the deep sea of the Chaotic Star Sea.
But now, they were left with only this meager force.
It was truly a pitiful sight.
Even a demon from the demon race with thirty devil marks could wipe out the sea clan's remaining elite forces.
As a result, these sea clan seniors were boasting with their words, but not a single one dared to step out of the formation and fight against the Pipi shrimp.
"Huh? Defense formation? Is this defense formation arranged by the Upper Realm's Thousand Formation Sect, Senior Qian Lingzi?" However, the masked Pipi shrimp king suddenly spoke up.
"???" The high-ranking sea clan members were astonished. What was this? Why would the Pipi shrimp know about this?
But what followed was an even more shocking scene.
"May I present Senior Qian Lingzi's successor, Lord Qian Xiao!" With the loud shout of the Pipi shrimp king, a Sea Realm expert from the human race stepped forward.
It was none other than a powerful expert from the same Upper Realm's Thousand Formation Sect as Qian Lingzi.
"Lord Qian Xiao, please break the formation!" the Pipi shrimp king said.
"Yes, this formation was arranged by my senior uncle, Senior Qian Lingzi. Ordinary formation masters would find it nearly impossible to break! However, since we're fellow disciples, it's too simple to decipher. Just watch!" Qian Xiao smiled faintly and casually made a move.
"Crack!" In the next instant, a crack appeared on the fifth-grade formation that enveloped the sea clan palace. This crack rapidly expanded and spread.
Even a monkey could tell that the formation had been broken!
And this wasn't the orthodox way of breaking formations that required understanding the formation's structure!
It was a flaw and a backdoor left by Qian Lingzi himself. As long as a fellow disciple who understood this flaw and backdoor made a simple gesture, they could break it on the spot.
"Why? How could the Thousand Formation Sect act so shamelessly? We, the sea clan, paid your senior uncle a million spirit stones to set up this fifth-grade defense formation, but you've teamed up with the Pipi shrimp to break it? Why?" The high-ranking sea clan members looked at the crumbling fifth-grade defense formation and couldn't help but question.
"I'm sorry, Senior Uncle Qian Lingzi received ten million spirit stones from us for arranging this formation! But..."
"Lord Pipi, I was given double the amount by the old man! A whopping twenty million spirit stones!"
"Apologies, it's just too much. I couldn't refuse!"
...
Qian Xiao spoke leisurely, saluted to the Pipi shrimp king, and then stepped back.
After all, he was invited here only to break the formation; there was no need for him to get involved in the subsequent battle.
"Boom!!!" At this moment, the formation collapsed, and three hundred million Pipi shrimp moved simultaneously.
"Now is the time!!!" However, just at this moment, the high-ranking sea clan members all roared together!
Then...
"Splat!!!" A Pipi shrimp king in a golden robe and mask was suddenly assassinated by four sea clan spies, each carrying a shrimp shell on their back, who teleported near him.
"Ah!" As these four sea clan spies were quickly killed, the sea clan's high-ranking members burst into laughter.
"How about that? Your king is dead now. Without the supreme commander and the king, aren't the Pipi shrimp just a scattered bunch?" The high-ranking sea clan members all smiled triumphantly.
In their eyes, without the overall command and the king, the Pipi shrimp would inevitably become scattered and disorganized!
With six Sea Realm experts of the sea clan sitting in the background, what could the Pipi shrimp use to fight against them?
However...
"Who said the king is dead?" Just at this moment, the second Pipi shrimp king in a golden robe and mask stepped forward, proudly speaking.
"That's right, this king is here!"
"Hahaha, this shrimp is the true Pipi Shrimp King!"
"Hehe, this shrimp is the king!"
...
Almost simultaneously, tens of thousands of figures wearing identical golden cloaks and masks, all Pipi shrimp kings, appeared.
"What?" The high-ranking sea clan members were dumbfounded.
The one they had just killed, was it a body double?
...
Curse it, treacherous Pipi shrimp! How can they be so shameless?
Who knows which of these ten thousand Pipi shrimp kings is the real one?
In the eyes of the sea clan, these three hundred million Pipi shrimp all look quite similar; they can't distinguish them at all.
All these Pipi shrimp kings hold the command authority. At the command, all three hundred million Pipi shrimp acted without hesitation.
"Pipi Charge!!!" The three hundred million Pipi shrimp launched a terrifying attack, their attacks erupting simultaneously. Their assault struck the walls of the sea clan's palace!
"Boom!!!" The exterior walls of the sea clan's palace couldn't withstand it at all. In an instant, they were shattered. With a single assault from ten thousand sea clan warriors, the walls were easily destroyed!
The difference in strength between the two sides was truly immense!
"Shanghai Shields!!!" At the command of the sea clan high-ranking members, tens of thousands of massive shields emerged, each made from the scales or shells of powerful sea beasts that had died in years past.
For every ten sea clan warriors, they jointly controlled one of these massive shields, directly blocking the advancing Pipi shrimp army.
"Six experts, please attack. First, eliminate those Pipi shrimp kings. They seem to be responsible for commanding! Once we get rid of them, the Pipi shrimp will disperse!" The sea clan high-ranking members began speaking one after another.
"Very well! These Pipi shrimp are no match for our Sea Realm experts!" The six remaining Sea Realm Initial Stage experts of the sea clan all soared into the air and headed towards the Pipi shrimp.
However...
"Where do you think you're going? Sea Clan's lackeys!" At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared, blocking the path of these six Sea Realm experts of the sea clan.
It was none other than the Hand of Slaughter, Mo Qi!
