Chapter 2328 - 2331: The Sea Emperor Admits Defeat

At the instant Shen Qiang spoke, the Sea Emperor's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. If looks could kill, Shen Qiang would have died instantly. Not only that, but the sea monsters from Atlantic City, who had retreated far away with terrified eyes, were now completely in an uproar.

"We're doomed, we're doomed! What a terrifying guy, he's a Plague God!"

"The Medicine King of Huaxia, I had long heard he was a despicable guy who likes poisoning people. I never thought he could be this malicious!"

"Bastard, he's a bastard!"

Amidst the furious roars of numerous sea monsters, the Sea Emperor looked at Shen Qiang with eyes full of anger and said, "You are digging your own grave!"

Shen Qiang smiled slightly and calmly said, "Tell me the answer."

The Sea Emperor was enraged, but seeing those sea monsters' gills rapidly rotting, he didn't have time to think further because he had no other options. If it were ordinary sea monsters infected, he could choose to give them up, but now that over a hundred powerful Great Sea Demons were infected, each one capable of standing on its own, representing the elite among elites, his trump cards, and core power.

If they all died, the strength of Atlantic City would sharply decline!

Moreover, what made him even more anxious was that even if he could bear the loss of these elite sea monsters, he could not bear the entire Atlantic City sea monsters being wiped out.

Because by then, even if he survived, he'd just be a lonely person.

"Shen Qiang! Don't push your luck!"

The Sea Emperor roared.

Shen Qiang laughed, "Tell me the answer. Didn't you say before that I should commit suicide with my companions? And that this is the demeanor of an Emperor. Now I don't need you to commit suicide; you only need to give your decision, whether all sea monsters of Atlantic City are to die, or you see me off."

The Sea Emperor gritted his teeth, looking at those powerful sea monsters rolling over.

"Your Sea Majesty!"

"Save them! Save them!"

Upon the plea of two Great Sea Demons, the Sea Emperor roared fiercely, "Shen Qiang, halt, you've won!"

At that moment, Shen Qiang smiled, not only instantly stopping the Plague Source but immediately releasing the corresponding antibodies to ensure the Atlantic City sea monsters wouldn't die.

"A hundred thousand pearls, Yu Jiang, then personally escort us out, and we guarantee your people will be healthy with no problems." Shen Qiang's smile at this moment seemed like that of a demon.

The Sea Emperor gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Shen Qiang, you are a complete bastard. You destroyed my Temple, killed my people, and now you want me to give you treasures!"

Shen Qiang laughed, "Don't act as if I can let bygones be bygones by smiling at you. Even when I saw Butes, you think you could spare Qian Ning? Could you spare the Huaxia Sea Border?"

"Shen Qiang, you will pay for your actions today." the Sea Emperor said angrily.

Shen Qiang laughed, "If I didn't do this, I would be a corpse already, so don't talk nonsense. I'm waiting for your treasure. Also, give me Yu Jiang first."

Hearing this, the Sea Emperor nodded and said, "Alright, alright, you can have him."

Saying this, the Sea Emperor gave a signal to the sea monsters over there.

Yu Jiang was immediately sent back by them.

Shen Qiang briefly checked; he was inflicted with a neurotoxin, but detoxifying it was no difficulty for Shen Qiang. However, even before Shen Qiang could take action, the Atlantic City sea monsters, perhaps out of fear, had already detoxified the Great Sea Demon King Yu Jiang.

After all, the means Shen Qiang displayed earlier were, for them, the most terrifying existence.

"Father, father, are you alright!" Jinli Qianning gratefully glanced at Shen Qiang and then anxiously surrounded Yu Jiang.

Yu Jiang weakly said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Hearing this, many sea monsters present instantly felt relieved.

"Go get the pearls now, then escort us out," Shen Qiang said calmly.

The Sea Emperor's face was livid, "Okay, wait here."

After saying that, he turned and went towards Atlantic City.

Once he and those strong sea monsters had left, the surroundings became empty, with sea monsters only visible far away.

"Lord Dragon Emperor, what a chance! Let's go! Let's leave now. With the Dragon Emperor not around, he won't be able to stop us from leaving." said an elite sea monster.

Other numerous sea monsters also expressed, "Lord Dragon Emperor, we are unfamiliar here, if the Sea Emperor comes back to kill us, we won't have a chance to leave."

"Indeed, Lord Dragon Emperor, Sea Emperor has already withdrawn his people. If he comes back with a sneak attack, we won't be able to leave even if we want to."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled slightly and looked at Qingxuan with bright eyes and a graceful figure said, "What do you think?"

Qingxuan hesitated briefly, then calmly said, "Now is indeed a great time to leave, without absolute certainty, the Sea Emperor will not stop us, he will pretend not to know we have left."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang nodded very satisfactorily.

"Uncle Wei, what do you suggest then?"

The old butler Uncle Wei heard this and said in a deep voice, "I'll leave everything to Lord Dragon Emperor's decision."

Hearing this, Qingxuan's expression was inevitably awkward.

But Shen Qiang laughed and said, "In this situation, if we choose to leave, there's a fifty percent chance that the Sea Emperor will not act, as Qingxuan guessed, and fifty percent chance he thinks we are leaving out of fear, in which case he will unhesitatingly lead people to attack us."

In an instant, the numerous surrounding sea monsters fell into silence.

They were not foolish; initially, they wanted to leave only because the situation here was indeed dangerous, but the fact is this.

The Sea Emperor, who is now furious, is like a dog.

If Shen Qiang led everyone to turn and run, he'd chase up to bite, but if Shen Qiang didn't leave, he instead wouldn't dare to act rashly because he didn't know the situation.

"So we wait." Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and said, "Because even if we leave here, it's very smooth to escape the Sea Emperor's control range."

Everyone nodded and said in unison, "Everything will be at Lord Dragon Emperor's command."

Shen Qiang smiled.

He closed his eyes to rest.

It wasn't until more than three hours later.

The Sea Emperor, with a livid face and exceptionally hard appearance, still chose to appear before everyone.

"Seventy thousand top-grade deep-sea pearls, that's all we can give now, plus thirteen Qiankun Bags, I believe that should be enough."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled and took the Qiankun Bags from the Sea Emperor's hands, then put away his chair, and said gentlemanly, "I am a man of my word. Let's go, it's time for us to leave here."
