Chapter Ninety-Nine: Bloodshed
Even in the time of racial integration, it was a long and painstaking process to give all sapient beings equal civil rights. In fact, it was not until 532 years after the establishment of the Hundred Races Cultivation Federation that the first non-human Speaker of the Federal Assembly was elected. This potential discrimination and antagonism between races is not only due to the arrogance and distrust that all living beings are born with to other species, but also because there are indeed some special species that are blessed by the gods so that they have a powerful talent that makes other races fear and anxiety from the moment they are born.
In order to have the necessary public security considerations, the Federal Security Administration promulgated the "Regulations on the Registration and Management of Flood Alien Species and Other S-Class Racialized Demons" in the 121st year of the Federal Calendar, which clarified that all new monsters of the Flood Wilderness Alien Species and Demon Race with talents exceeding the S level must be registered and reported to the local security office, so as to facilitate the unified monitoring of the General Security Administration. This ordinance provoked an outcry from some of the most powerful races, and it also led to a deeper discussion of civil rights in the larger context of the federal society.
In the 73-page list of races that must be registered, the Grimace Crab ranks 37th.
The level is, double S level.
This giant crab with a strange and hideous face on its back is famous for its innate super sensitivity to the soul. The Grimace Crab Demon can easily detain the souls of its prey, causing them to be annihilated between heaven and earth, and cannot be reborn. In fact, the well-known "ghost cultivation" in the Xiuzhen school was originally a practice method created by monks inspired by the ghost-faced crab demon. The stories and legends of the Ghost-faced Crab Demon could be told for three days and three nights, and if the reproduction ability of this creature was equal to even one ten-thousandth of that of their distant crab relatives, the history of this world might have been rewritten long ago.

=================================================================
When the three corpses fell to the ground one after another, the atmosphere on the field froze for a moment. This strange and terrifying attack method was like a blow to the head, and the emotions of the monks who had become high in the battle just now were savagely beaten back to the bottom.
A chuckle came from the silence.
The bald man's lips curled slightly, and the inverted hawk nose combined with an ugly smile.
"You have a good wife," he gently raised his hand holding the rope and nodded towards Yu Shun, "My Haji Commander." ”
He chuckled and looked at Yu Shun, a sickly glint in his eyes.
"You have a good wife," he repeated, "and out of the pleasure I have found in her, I have decided not to collect your souls as a pastime of my long life." On the contrary, I have been merciful enough to grant you a direct demise. ”
His left hand gently caressed the woman's face, from her trembling cheeks downwards, over her trembling collarbones, trembling breasts, and finally resting on the slightly bulging lower abdomen, his fingers slowly circling around her navel, as gently as a lover's flirtation.
"No pain, no trouble, no suffering, complete ......"
“...... Extrication. ”
As he whispered softly, the woman's body began to shake violently, and a painful phantom of the same appearance emerged from behind the woman, as if she was desperately fleeing, but she could not escape the restraints of the body. Vaguely, there were dense grimaces gnawing frantically on the woman's phantom.
With the pain of ten thousand ghosts devouring her heart, crystal tears slipped out of the corners of the woman's eyes. Her gaze slowly swept over her husband to her son's direction. Her mouth opened and closed, as if she was silently saying something.
"Mother!"
The young man let out a beastly roar, and Hong Tao's pale face from blood loss on the side turned red from dragging Yu Hong hard.
Over and over again, the woman's words drifted gently in the faint wind.
"Hong'er, go back...... Don't look at ......"
"Mother!"
"You disgusting crab!"
The picture in front of them that made people get goosebumps all over their bodies finally exceeded the limit of the monks' psychological endurance, and two more Zhuji monks jumped out, connected the dots with two fingers, and an axe-shaped Taoist soldier and a hammer-shaped Taoist soldier smashed in the direction of the grimace crab with the momentum of thunder.
"Die!"
Their attacks even deliberately included women, so as to make an understanding of this torment that was worse than death.
"Dead?"
A grimace of a crab shell reappeared, blocking the two Dao soldiers' powerful attacks.
"And you know what death is?"
With a thick sneer, the bald man waved his right hand slightly, and the huge crab claw phantom streaked across the sky, no matter how the two monks flickered and moved, they were still swept by the phantom cloud lightly.
There were two more muffled sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground.
The grimace crab clenched his right hand, and the two terrified monk phantoms were pinched in his hands, his lips were close to them, and he continued to ask softly:
"Is it the decay of the body, or the death of the soul?"
"Shhhh------h Listen------"
His right hand was raised lightly, and with a gesture of please, the two monk phantoms were politely placed close to the woman's body, and then disappeared into the swarming grimaces in a creepy scream.
After doing all this, the Grimace Crab looked around and counted gently.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. ”
After counting the numbers, his gaze returned to Yu Shun's body.
"My lord," he said, "the five untouchables, as I promised, have disappeared forever from this heaven and earth. I noticed that there are eight of you left. Because of the outstanding service that your wife has made to my children, I have decided to grant you the honorable power to determine the order of death of these eight men, including you. ”
"Of course, in order to avoid any too much of a dull thing, I have decided to share with you a piece of news that makes me feel very happy today, and then send you on your way in the order you have decided. His voice began to tremble slightly, as if he had thought of something that had excited him, "How is it? Do you feel a sense of solemnity?"
Looking at his miserable wife and slightly nervous enemy, Yu Shun clenched his fists and closed his eyes.
After three breaths, when he opened his eyes, only the hideous grimace was left in those black eyes.
He said softly.
"Spirit"
"Chi"
"Lock"
