Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Soul-Seizing Mind Control, the Spider Crab Demon
After the main mast snapped.
The speed of the Marrow Silver instantly plumted!
The Marrow Silver, which had been keeping pace with the Golden Sword Orchid, was left far behind in monts!
"Phew..." Su Ye let out a long sigh of relief.
Of the Qi Family’s fleet, the greatest threat to him was undoubtedly the Marrow Silver, a supre-grade spirit ship.
This spirit ship was a well-rounded warship with no obvious weaknesses.
Due to its status as a supre-grade spirit ship, the Marrow Silver surpassed the Golden Sword Orchid in both speed and firepower!
’If it weren’t for this storm, my chances would have been slim even if I’d abandoned the Flying Serpent...’ Su Ye’s heart pounded.
Fortunately, the Qi Family cultivators were arrogant.
They had sailed decisively into the storm without even reefing their sails to slow down.
Given the Marrow Silver’s capabilities, this wasn’t a particularly risky move.
However... they had the misfortune of running into Su Ye!
His Spiritual Sense was incredibly sharp, and he could use Harmony to sync with the spirit ship, allowing him to maintain a certain degree of accuracy with the Crossbow Arrows even in the storm!
A single, soul-piercing shot struck the Marrow Silver’s main mast, crippling it.
And in a storm, the main mast was already under imnse strain from the wind.
Su Ye’s attack was the straw that broke the cal’s back!
After the Marrow Silver’s speed had been drastically reduced,
he used the sa trick to snap the masts of the two high-grade spirit ships that were harassing the Flying Serpent.
Soon, the distance between them began to widen!
Su Ye glanced back, his eyes narrowing as he watched the three Qi Family spirit ships in the distance.
After their masts broke, their speed had plumted, but this also stabilized them, allowing them to sail steadily through the wind and rain.
’The Marrow Silver is too great a threat to the Golden Sword Orchid, even more so than the Soul Gold...’
’A pity I couldn’t destroy it...’
Su Ye shook his head.
He had only managed to repel the Marrow Silver by taking advantage of the storm’s power.
As for destroying it, with his current strength, the probability was rely ten or twenty percent, even if he risked his life.
Su Ye, who cherished his life, would naturally not do such a thing.
’However, after I return, I need to make a trip to Weiyuan Immortal City to purchase so spirit ship components to increase my speed.’
’At the very least, I have to make the Golden Sword Orchid faster than the Marrow Silver...’
Weiyuan Immortal City was located north of the Luo Family Sea Region.
It was the central hub of the shipping lanes within the Cyan Profound Sect’s sea territory!
Its predecessor was the Weiyuan Fortress from the era of the Pioneering War, and it was situated upon a tier-three Spirit Vein!
After the war, it relied on its geographical location to beco the most prosperous comrcial center in the Cyan Profound Sect’s seas.
...
But just as Su Ye was lost in thought,
sothing strange suddenly happened!
All at once, a crewman, as if possessed, took on a dazed expression.
He let go of the ship’s rope and ran quickly toward the railing.
"Stop! What are you doing?!" Su Ye cried out in alarm, his expression changing.
’What’s he doing?’
’Did his depression suddenly act up?’
’Planning to jump overboard and kill himself?’
’The crew has to bear witness for , he’s really jumping on his own!’
’This has nothing to do with ...’
CRASH!
Just then, a giant wave struck, sweeping him directly into the sea, where he vanished without a trace!
And that wasn’t the end.
Next, several more crewn’s eyes glazed over. Their bodies swayed as they began walking toward the side of the ship.
’This is...’ Su Ye’s heart sank.
Suddenly, Su Ye sensed sothing. He whipped his head around and stared at the ship’s rail.
Just in ti!
BOOM!
A flash of lightning illuminated the ink-black night!
A terrifying, colossal figure was climbing up the hull of the Golden Sword Orchid!
It was a horrific shelled monster with a jet-black carapace streaked with several gold and blue lines.
It had eight spider-like, jointed legs and a pair of sharp, crab-like pincers!
And...
embedded in the carapace on the giant spider crab’s head was a piece of magnificent, ethereal blue!
"That’s... Sea Successor Remains!"
Compared to the fingernail-sized piece of Sea Successor Remains in Su Ye’s possession,
the Sea Successor Remains in the giant spider crab’s carapace was the size of a goose egg!
But just then!
The giant spider crab noticed Su Ye!
It looked at Su Ye, its eyes glowing with an intensely human-like, venomous light!
Invisible ripples of Spiritual Power spread out!
VMMMM!
Su Ye felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his entire body stiffening!
The spider crab’s Spiritual Power surged into his mind like a tidal wave, violently fighting for control of his body.
His legs, no longer under his command, were walking toward the monster?!
Su Ye was horrified, his soul nearly leaving his body in terror.
’Mind control?!’
An indescribable chill shot up from the soles of his feet, enveloping his entire body!
He suddenly rembered that silent, deserted island.
’Perhaps they didn’t die from a Curse Skill or so soul-reaping ghost...’
’With this monster’s Spiritual Power, it could have easily controlled the low-level cultivators and mortals on the island, making them go to the seashore and serve themselves up as a free al!’
’No... how can I die here?!’
’Wait, since this thing’s soul is so powerful, then...’
As he got closer and closer to the spider crab, Su Ye’s mind, contrary to the situation, beca unprecedentedly calm.
He mobilized his Spiritual Sense, channeling it into his right hand.
THUMP-THUMP.
THUMP-THUMP.
Su Ye’s right hand, as if he had a fever, trembled uncontrollably as he raised it.
Watching this, an extrely human-like, mocking expression appeared in the giant spider crab’s eyes.
For so special reason, its intelligence was extrely high, and it could understand most human emotions.
At the sa ti, it also retained much of the cruel nature of a demon beast.
The combination of the two had created so... peculiar hobbies.
For example:
—It enjoyed watching its prey struggle desperately, only to fall into despair!
Thus, it did not react to Su Ye’s actions.
In its eyes, Su Ye, suppressed by its Spiritual Power, was no threat at all.
Just when the distance between them was less than one hundred feet!
Su Ye finally raised his hand.
An ice spear materialized in his hand!
The spider crab didn’t even flinch.
The Magical Power in this ice spear was only equivalent to the first level of Qi Refining.
Under the suppression of its Spiritual Power, this was all the Magical Power Su Ye could muster!
However, Su Ye had never been counting on the ice spear!
But rather...
"Whale-Hunting Spear!"
"Soul Suppressing!"
"HIIISSSSS!!!!"
Before the ice spear even reached it, the spider crab let out an unprecedented, bloodcurdling scream!
The priority effect of Soul Suppressing activated, crushing its soul as if under a stone mill!
SPLASH!
Its legs went limp, and it fell directly into the sea, fleeing in disarray!
For a monster with such a powerful soul, the effect of Soul Suppressing was even better than Su Ye had expected!
"Hah..." Su Ye gasped, regaining control of his body.
The dazed crewn also snapped out of it, their expressions a mixture of shock and terror.
"What... what happened to ?"
"What was going on just now..."
"No ti to talk! Quickly, let’s get out of this storm!"
Su Ye said in a low voice.
Soul Suppressing wasn’t a lethal ability. Once the spider crab recovered from the stun, it was very likely to return!
They couldn’t stay here for long.
