Like a flood dragon smashing through the wall and departing—could the shrimp frolicking in the shallows bear it?
Five Swords Lord had no intention of holding back. The Sea Emperor of the Merman race was slain outright; the squid king, as large as a small mountain, was blasted to pieces; every cultivator of the sea clans was wiped out.
