Chapter 257: Little Brat, Today is Your Day of Death!
With the Heart of the Ocean's skill shattered, Tang San's figure finally appeared before the eyes of the numerous island defense soul masters on Sea God Island.
Seeing Tang San on the scene, hiding and watching them get killed, many of the island defense soul masters immediately felt a sense of imbalance.
Damn it! They had fought and struggled, risking their lives, while as the Sea God's heir, Tang San was hiding here, silently watching them be slaughtered?
They might not have helped Tang San, but Poseidon, along with the seven Holy Pillar Guardians, had given him significant help!
Poseidon and the Holy Pillar Guardians were killed, partly because they were protecting Tang San!
But now, this Tang San was hiding, watching them die one by one?
How could the defense soul masters remain calm after that?
Moreover, Ye Wen's earlier words stirred up their anger, and many of them directly started cursing Tang San, no longer caring about his identity as the Sea God's heir: "Tang San! Do you even care about us? Do you care about Lord Poseidon and the Holy Pillars?"
"You ungrateful dog!"
"You beast!"
"Bastard!"
"You hypocritical, disgusting trash! Why would the Sea God choose you as his heir?!"
More and more of the island defense soul masters started cursing Tang San with anger.
"You… You!!! Shut up!!" Tang San glared at the islanders who resented him. He was very upset, but he couldn't bring himself to respond.
Ye Wen signaled for everyone to stop attacking and turned to the defense soul masters, saying: "I think you all understand by now, if you keep fighting, you will only die in vain. You will be uselessly slaughtered, and it will all be meaningless."
"Now, put down your weapons and surrender. If you do, I will spare your lives."
"If you continue to resist, not only will you die, but your families, your children, and all the people on this island will be slaughtered one by one!"
"How you choose is up to you. I will give you this chance, but only once!"
Ye Wen looked at them coldly, his gaze devoid of any emotion. He wasn't joking anymore.
"Obey me and prosper, defy me and die." He had said this at the beginning of the battle. As long as these people stopped resisting, Ye Wen wouldn't engage in senseless slaughter. He wouldn't kill everyone as long as they gave up resisting and struggling.
But if they didn't listen, Ye Wen would not leave a single soul on Sea God Island alive.
The 3,500 island defense soul masters had already lost over a thousand. There were fewer than two thousand left. They collectively fell silent for almost a minute.
Finally, someone dropped their weapon: "We surrender."
"We surrender too."
Soon, more and more people withdrew their power and put down their weapons. Most of them were not afraid of death, but they had families, parents, children, and wives. They were willing to die themselves, but they didn't want their loved ones to be slaughtered.
And the situation was now clear. They had no strength to resist. If they kept fighting, the soul beasts would break into the cities.
The people from the seven cities would be ruthlessly slaughtered. So, they had no choice but to surrender.
"Get out!"
Ye Wen shouted.
The remaining two thousand defense soul masters withdrew their powers, lowered their heads, and left with a dejected look, no longer caring about the so-called Sea God heir, Tang San.
"You! You can't leave! Hey! Come back!" Tang San screamed, his mental state breaking down, barking like a mad dog.
Because, he had lost his final sense of security.
For so long, Sea God Island had been his last refuge. Now, with Poseidon, the seven Holy Pillar Guardians, and the defense soul masters abandoning him, Tang San felt like he had lost everything.
"Little brat, your time has come." Ye Wen looked coldly at Tang San, who was now acting like a stray dog, and continued, "Do you know why I had so many chances to kill you but spared you over and over again?"
"Why!!"
Tang San, with a twisted expression, knew he had no way out. He was cornered with no escape, and now, in this desperate situation, he had nowhere left to retreat. Even a dog would jump over a wall when driven to desperation, and he was about to make a desperate counterattack.
He snarled viciously, "Is it because of the Fate Showdown?"
"Oh?" Ye Wen seemed intrigued, but then understood, "I see, so you heard that voice a few days ago as well?"
"Haha, that's right, it's because of the Fate Showdown." Ye Wen said, continuing to explain, wanting to make sure Tang San understood the truth before his death. "The moment you entered Notting Academy, the Fate Showdown between us began."
"Because of that reason, I had to wait until you entered the Sea God's eighth trial to kill you."
"Otherwise, do you think I would have kept you alive this long, you piece of trash?"
"You still fantasize about becoming the Sea God, but little do you know, every move you make has been under my control. You think you're getting closer to becoming Sea God, but in reality, death is getting closer to you."
"Hahaha! Hahahaha!!!" Tang San laughed like a madman. He truly was about to lose his mind.
His entire life had been controlled by someone else, even the things he had been striving for—becoming the Sea God—were all part of the other person's plan. How could this not drive him insane?
Laughing uncontrollably, he suddenly turned vicious: "Ye Wen!! I want you to die!!!"
"Ahhh!!"
Tang San immediately drew the Sea God Trident and thrust it fiercely toward Ye Wen.
Di Tian instantly struck, using a terrifying dragon claw to knock Tang San harshly to the ground.
Boom! Boom!
"Ahhh~!!"
Tang San screamed as he was knocked to the ground in a sorry state.
"Di Tian, you and the others step back. I'll kill Tang San myself." Ye Wen looked at Di Tian and said.
"Alright, we'll leave it to you."
Di Tian shrugged nonchalantly and moved to the side.
In the center of the battlefield, only Ye Wen and Tang San remained.
"Little brat, today is your day of death. Are you ready to die now?" Ye Wen looked coldly at Tang San.
"I won't lose! I, Tang San, will never lose! I will kill you!!"
"Sea God! Help me! You said you would help me kill him!!" Tang San screamed.
"Heh!" Ye Wen sneered and reached out, his claw aiming for Tang San's neck.
At that moment, Sea God's power finally ignited within Tang San.
