Chapter 36: The Sword's Sharp Edge Slays the Armored Crab!

  Qingfeng slashed out a sharp edge in the cold mang, directly stabbing the iron armored crab and going, fiercely stabbing on the shell of the iron armored crab.

  "Ding!"

  The crisp sound of golden spears clashing suddenly rang out, and sparks splashed on the crab shell.

  A powerful backlash sent Mo Bei stumbling back several steps before barely regaining his footing, the Qingfeng almost slipping from his grasp.

  "What a hard shell! It's indeed worthy of being called an Iron Shell Crab!" Mo Bei's heart chilled.

  The iron-armored crab didn't care what Mo Bei was thinking, the flower pattern in its demon eyes kept shrinking, staring tightly at Mo Bei, and charged again.

  Two iron pincers crossed over, as if wanting to pinch Mo Bei in half at the waist!

  "Hmmph!"

  Mo Bei let out a furious growl, his body as agile as a swimming dragon. He twisted his ankle and dodged to the side, avoiding the iron pincers. Immediately after, he took swift steps, his body turning with the momentum, sliding to the side of the iron-armored crab. With a reverse swing of his hand, the green blade once again heavily chopped down on the crab's shell.

  "Ding Dong!"

  The northern nomads wandered about, constantly circling with the iron-armored crabs.

  With a flick of the wrist and a flash of steel, the sword's shadow danced in the air.

  A grain of sand can cause a stone to move, and a drop of water can penetrate a stone...

  The green blade's relentless hacking at the iron-plated crab's body.

  For a time, the sound of clashing steel was incessant, sparks flying everywhere, and the crab shell was left with horizontal and vertical sword marks, but it didn't even scratch its vital parts.

  He tapped his toes on the ground and sprang up, landing two zhang away. He furrowed his brow slightly, thinking to himself:

  "As expected, this worldly sword technique is useless. It can't even break through the Iron Shell Crab's defense!"

  The iron-armored crab was merciless, snapping off two small trees in a row and charging straight at Mo Bei's face.

  "Die, you beast! Qingfeng slash!" Mo Bei's eyes widened, and a sharp, cold aura burst out. He stomped the ground fiercely, his toes lightly tapping, and his body soared into the air.

  That sword, the sword intent is released, the sword energy bursts out of the sword and transforms into a gentle breeze, swift and ruthless! Extremely sharp, like a clear wind brushing against one's face!

  The sword's edge gleamed, a faint blue shadow spreading out, tearing through the air, and slashing heavily onto the iron-armored crab's back!

  "Pffft!"

  Only the sound of swords entering flesh was heard. The crab shell, harder than a boulder, finally burst open, and the crab meat and blood splattered everywhere with each swing of the sword!

  The iron-armored crab let out a few miserable cries, its wound spraying blood as its body swayed back and forth, stumbling several steps before attempting to flee.

  "Want to run? Die!!"

  Mo Bei struck again, his footsteps wandering, a sword sweeping through the air.

  The iron-clad crab Zhang wielded its massive pincers, bringing with it a piercing whistle as it charged forward fiercely.

  "Hmm!" Mo Bei hummed again, his wrist shook, and the sword flashed. The blade avoided the iron pincers, swept across the sky, and stabbed into the gap between the iron pincers' skeletal joints!

  "Pffft!"

  That entire iron claw was cut off, and fresh blood spurted out.

  "Clear breeze, cut!"

  "Clear Wind Slash!!"

  Mo Bei took advantage of his momentum and counterattacked, stepping forward with his right foot and thrusting his sword again!

  A blue sword energy suddenly burst out, shooting out three feet! One sword pierced through the body and entered, crossing the torso, tearing its five internal organs into powder, and bursting out of its crab shell!

  Then another sword, a clear wind cuts out

  "Ah!" The iron-armored crab crashed to the ground, its massive body convulsing violently for a while before slowly losing vitality, blood splattering everywhere and seeping into the silver sand.

  "Hmm..."

  Until the iron-armored crab stopped moving, Mo Bei let out a big breath and pulled out his long sword.

  Fresh blood immediately spread and gushed out.

  "He's finally dead." Mo Bei wiped the sweat from his forehead, revealing a wry smile:

  "This iron-armored crab is as smelly and hard as a manure-covered rock, ordinary sword techniques can't break through its defense."

  Mo Bei sat on the crab shell, patted the iron-armored crab's head, and said helplessly: "The temper is quite stubborn, and it must be me who uses Qingfeng Jian to make it obedient."

  "But this clear breeze is cutting, it's consuming a lot of my true energy!"

  Mo Bei stroked the iron tortoise shell, which was as thick as a foot, feeling its coolness and texture, and couldn't help but sigh: "Such a thick tortoise shell, no wonder it takes Qingfeng Jianfang to break through its defense."

  First, the spoils of war were collected. This iron-armored crab is only worth a spirit stone for its large pincers! Mo Bei caught his breath for a while, and after resting for a bit, he put aside various thoughts, wasted half a day's effort, and finally used his long sword to cut off the two huge iron pincers. He pulled down some vines from the tree, tied up the two big pincers, dragged them behind him, and stepped back into the dense forest.

  Mo Bei held a sword in one hand and grasped a rattan rod with the other, treading on the silver sand as he walked, making crunching sounds, while lowering his head to ponder.

  "Clear Wind Beheading Style, although swift and light, can emit sword energy!"

  "But...the power is still slightly lacking. Three swords are needed to kill an iron-armored crab!"

  "Hmm, if it's true that sword energy can break through its defense."

  Mo Bei's mind turned and she fell into deep thought: "That... Shi Po Tian Jing, how is he?"

  "With this Iron Shell Crab's ferocity, only Three Swords Clear Wind Slash can kill it, however..."

  His feet sank into the sandy ground and suddenly caved in.

  Mo Beixi's foot slipped under him, his center of gravity lost balance, and he almost fell over.

  At this very moment!

  "Waaaah!"

  Mo Bei only felt a flash before his eyes, a giant iron claw burst out of the sand, sweeping across the sky from bottom to top.

  On top of the iron pincers, the cold awn flashed suddenly, and it seemed that Mo Bei was about to be cut in half at the waist!

  "Earth-shattering!"

  Mo Bei widened his eyes, bursting out with a cold gleam, and with a reverse hand movement, the sword blade suddenly swung out in a slashing motion. One sword strike was all it took!

  Fierce sword energy surges forth, bursting with ferocious momentum, ruthlessly stabbing onto the crab shell!

  "Pffft!"

  The sword flashed by.

  "Crack, crack."

  A whole iron-armored crab, along with its iron pincers, suddenly appeared with a crack and split into two halves. It had actually been sliced in half by a sword!

  Bloody atmosphere, crab meat all over the ground.

  Blood splattered and spattered Mo Bei's face.

  "Good, what a sinister big crab!" Mo Bei panted heavily, and he secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately I reacted extremely quickly, otherwise... I would have fallen prey to this beast's claws!"

  Mo Bei wiped the blood and minced meat from his face with his sleeve, looked at the iron pliers that had been chopped into two pieces by himself with some regret, then squatted down to cut off another intact iron pliers. In his heart, he thought gloomily: "What a waste."

  "It seems that Iron Shell Crab's beheading will have to be even more swift and decisive!"

  Mo Bei muttered to himself, constantly weighing his options:

  "However... with my current true energy, I can only unleash three swords of the Stone Shattering Heaven Shocking technique. However... I can unleash twenty-one swords of the Clear Wind Beheading technique!"

  "Hmm, Qingfeng's slash is still a bit better." Mo Bei had made up his mind.

  All day long.

  The dense forest on the outermost periphery of the entire island and the beach.

  The sound of golden spears clashing, the roar of shouting, the shadow of green swords, the sword wind occasionally rising, intertwined together, spreading throughout the dense forest, occasionally startling a group of strange birds.

  The sun rises in the east at dawn, shines brightly in the sky, and sets behind the western mountains at dusk.

  Until sunset was about to fall, with only half of it exposed above the sea level.

  The crashing and shouting had just gradually stopped.

  "Hmm...hmm..."

  Mo Bei lost his long sword and panted heavily, his chest heaving violently, sweat pouring down like rain, his face slightly pale, as he retreated several steps.

  With both hands propping up his knees, he leaned against the tree trunk and stared at the iron-armored crab that had been beheaded by a sword not far away from him. The iron-armored crab lay on the ground, having long lost its vitality, with its flesh and blood blurred together.

  Suddenly.

  A wave of dizziness welled up in his mind, causing Mo Bei to stumble and almost fall to the ground.

  "The sixth one..."

  "No, no...!" Mo Bei panted heavily, his clothes already drenched in sweat. He felt his vision blurring and almost fainted.

  His internal Qi had been severely depleted, Mo Bei only felt that he was completely drained, his entire body devoid of even a hint of strength. Even opening his eyes felt like an enormous effort, and his stomach churned with nausea.

  After a long while, Mo Beifang finally caught his breath and struggled to his feet, suppressing the feeling of weakness. He pulled out the long sword from the crab shell, using all his might, and finally managed to chop off the iron pincers, binding them to the rattan stick.

  After doing all this, Mo Bei looked at the iron crab claws that were tied up in bundles and couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.

  "Luckily, luckily, today's harvest isn't too bad. A total of eleven, unfortunately, one crab shell was shattered by Shi Bo Tian."

  "Shocking the heavens with a stone, it's too exhausting for my true energy! I could have executed twenty-one Clear Wind Slashes, but in the end, I only managed fifteen!"

  At this moment, a gust of wind blew across the island, sweeping across Mo Bei's cheek, and a chill ran through his entire body, shocking him awake.

  He turned his head and looked around, the surrounding dense forest had been gradually shrouded and swallowed by darkness.

  In the dense forest where the wind couldn't penetrate, danger lurked everywhere. It seemed as if at any moment, some kind of monster would burst out!

  In this unknown darkness, Mo Bei, who was powerless at that moment and couldn't even hold a long sword steadily, had goosebumps all over his body. A thought suddenly popped up in his mind:

  "My true energy has been exhausted long ago, and I don't have any strength left at this moment. If another iron-armored crab were to jump out now, wouldn't I be dead for sure?!"

  Thinking of this, Mo Bei's whole body felt a chill, and his heart was filled with wave after wave of regret.

  "It's getting late, let's leave here quickly."

  Mo Bei hastily sheathed his long sword and dragged the pile of iron crab claws, stumbling as he exerted himself to head towards the beach outside the dense forest.

  It's better to say that it's not walking, but rather being dragged and pulled, using hands and feet, with sand grains all over the body, almost crawling, leaving a trail of footprints on the beach that seem to have no end.

  His body felt empty and hollow, his legs were like lead, his arms were numb and he couldn't exert any strength, all he could feel was the weight of Mount Tai pulling him down.

  He took a step back and looked around three times, occasionally gazing into the dense forest behind him, his scalp tingling with fear, his heart hanging in suspense, his tense hands full of sweat.

  This feeling is terrifying, a deep regret for the first time, I was too careless!

  This won't do, absolutely won't do!

  Until he thoroughly exited the dense forest and walked onto the beach, where in the distance he saw the flying boat docked on the sandy shore.

  The sunset is about to fall below the sea level, leaving only a thread, still poking its head out, and the afterglow has dyed the sea surface with a dazzling golden color, sparkling and beautiful beyond description.

  The sea breeze blows gently, making people feel carefree and relaxed.

  Mo Bei gazed at the hovering airship, and his heart finally relaxed, letting out a long sigh, feeling much more at ease.

  "It's finally out!"
