Chapter 2327 - 2330: My Fibrous Adhesive Bacteria Are Sea Demon Assassins

The moment the Sea Emperor spoke, over a hundred powerful sea demons of Atlantic City erupted into wild laughter. Their laughter not only made the delicate Mermaid Princess Jinli Qianning grasp Shen Qiang's hand but also caused the stunning Qingxuan nearby to turn icy cold.

"Ah hahaha, it's killing me, a mere Dao Fruit Stage cultivator dares to talk about power in front of the Sea Emperor?"

"Truly audacious, no wonder he dares to impersonate the Dragon Emperor!"

"It's absolutely hilarious, such a useless fool, facing imminent death yet still so unrestrained!"

Amid their wild laughter, the Sea Emperor said, "Did you hear that, Shen Qiang? Your level of strength doesn't even qualify you to fight me, understand? Any one of these Great Sea Demons can beat you to the point of searching for your teeth on the ground. So if I were you, I'd end myself right now to avoid being laughed at here."

The crowd of Great Sea Demons laughed loudly and egged on the situation.

Shen Qiang remained calm amidst their wild laughter, saying, "No matter how good a person is, if he keeps striving hard, he will inevitably become a villain in someone else's story."

This statement stunned many of the Sea Demons present.

The Sea Emperor chuckled, "Oh, you think too much. At least, you're not yet qualified to be a villain in my eyes, because at most, you're just a weakling."

The surrounding Atlantic Sea Demons laughed again upon hearing this.

And at this point, Shen Qiang, who wasn't laughing at all, calmly looked at him and said, "Forms of power aren't limited to cultivation alone."

"How many types are there? Come on, I'm waiting for you to showcase your means. You, Shen Qiang, dare to spout nonsense wanting to massacre the city? To be blunt, if you have the means, use them. If you can walk out of here alive today, I'll admit I'm inferior to you." The Sea Emperor sneered.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang sighed helplessly, "Why force me? I truly am a good person."

"Waste of time! Lord Sea Emperor, don't listen to his bullshit anymore, just kill him. Once he's dead, Liang Yujiang and the others won't dare to resist!"

A Great Sea Demon stepped forward, shouting fiercely.

Hearing his words, the Sea Emperor laughed arrogantly, "Shen Qiang, you still don't understand. In Huaxia, perhaps you can be considered a master in a duel, but in the world, which true king isn't surrounded by clouds of powerful figures?"

Seeing Shen Qiang remain silent, the Sea Emperor snorted coldly, "Get him! This bastard won't cry until he sees the coffin, so let him die. As long as he dies, no matter if it's Qian Ning or Athena, they'll both be mine!"

Almost the moment his voice dropped.

Not far away, a Great Sea Demon suddenly howled, holding his face as he jumped.

"My face, my face!"

And almost simultaneously as he screamed.

Like a hurricane, almost every Great Sea Demon around Shen Qiang and others screamed wildly in pain, with several rolling on the ground in agony.

"What's wrong with you?" The Sea Emperor frowned.

"My gills, my gills..." A Great Sea Demon wailed, turning his head.

In an instant, not only did the ordinary Sea Demons retreat desperately, but even the Sea Emperor seemed to have springs under his feet, flashing back over a hundred meters.

Because at this moment, the Sea Emperor clearly saw the gills on those Great Sea Demons' faces rotting at an astonishing speed.

This realization made his spine chill and his scalp tingle.

"Rotting gill disease! Impossible, they are Great Sea Demons, they can't be easily infected!"

The Sea Emperor was shocked.

Meanwhile, among those wailing Great Sea Demons, not only were some rolling on the ground in pain and running around, but some Sea Demons had already fainted due to lack of oxygen caused by rotting gills.

"Quickly use Peacock Green!" The Sea Emperor shouted.

Sea Demons rushed over, throwing bags of Malachite Green onto them.

But the effect was minimal.

They not only screamed in pain more intensely but also rolled and ran everywhere, combat power? Clearly nonexistent.

Watching their agonized screams, the Great Sea Demons around Shen Qiang felt chills down their spines, their eyes filled with panic.

Because for the Sea Clan, gills are equivalent to human lungs.

Once gill rot becomes severe, there's no doubt that death is certain.

Because the Sea Clan with rotting gills can no longer survive in the sea, it's equivalent to pressing humans underwater.

"Shen Qiang! What despicable thing have you done?" The furious Sea Emperor, seeing his over one hundred truly elite Great Sea Demons almost instantly in shambles, couldn't help but roar.

Shen Qiang sighed, "I told you, forms of power aren't limited to one. I said before, I came here only to greet you, please don't force me to massacre the city. I'm a person who always likes to use virtue to subdue others, a noble person, a merciful person."

"So I think now we can talk again." Surprisingly displaying a smile, Shen Qiang said calmly, "You should be clear that rotting gill disease caused by Fibrous Adhesive Bacteria can indeed be treated to some extent with Malachite Green."

"But it's not enough for a cure, so now, my words have changed. Release Yu Jiang and escort us away, then I'll spare thirty-one of your subordinates, because this equals our number."

"What did you say?" The Sea Emperor, enraged, shouted, "You poisoned, despicable, shameless! Simply unforgivable!"

Shen Qiang looked at him calmly, "If one of us must die, I hope it's you. If one party between us must perish, I hope it's yours. So now, you'd best speak to me nicely."

"Moreover, make the decision quickly, because you should know that my Fibrous Adhesive Bacteria is different from the ordinary kind. If they spread beyond my control, then not only will these elite subordinates of yours die, but all marine life in the sea around Da Xi City will perish."

"You're threatening me?" The Sea Emperor was furious.

Shen Qiang smiled lightly, "No, I'm offering you an opportunity to be a hero. Follow what I say, and you'll be the great hero who saved Atlantic City, while I become the villain in your story. But if you refuse, then sorry, within the Four Seas, there's only me as the Dragon Emperor, because you, left as a lone commander, no longer deserve the title of Emperor."

"Shen Qiang!" The Sea Emperor roared angrily, rushing like turbulent waves.

Shen Qiang simply smiled, speaking calmly, "Oh right, shouting so loudly reminded me, I always use virtue to subdue others. With such powerful sea demons in Atlantic City, so many, say ten thousand, their price for escaping rotting gill disease's infection is each submitting a top-level pearl. If not, another treasure would suffice."

"Shameless villain!" The Sea Emperor yelled in anger.

Shen Qiang smiled peacefully, "Giving you three seconds to consider whether to agree, for in ten seconds, these elite subordinates of yours will be beyond saving. Start thinking now!"
