When system cheat becomes rampant!

The One-Armed Crab also realized that Lu Hong was the most formidable among these martial artists, its instinct told it to kill Lu Hong first before dealing with the others. It opened its mouth towards Lu Hong and spat out a puddle of white venom, which made a splashing sound in the air and rapidly scattered down.

Boom!

Kong Daming immediately jumped forward, stepping on a large cauldron. "Samadhi Fire" swept out from the cauldron, covering the sky with a powerful blaze. The flames spread far and wide like a sea of fire, clashing against the white venom.

Sss! Sss! Sss!

The venom was burnt by Kong Daming's flames, emitting bursts of white steam.

"How are you doing?" Kong Daming shouted toward Lu Hong.

"I won't die."

Lu Hong gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the pain, and refocused on the One-Armed Crab. Although he felt somewhat weak, he absolutely could not retreat at such a critical moment.

At that moment, the One-Armed Crab swung its large pincer, scattering the sea of fire created by Kong Daming, and continued smashing down towards them.

The two immediately leaped away again!

Boom!

This time, the One-Armed Crab directly smashed the building into pieces!

The entire building was shattered, countless pieces of furniture, cement, and rebars burst into the air, crashing down and raising large clouds of dust. The whole street rumbled, the noise deafening.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

The One-Armed Crab, rotating its eight legs, burst out sharp white spikes once again, stabbing towards these people.

"Be careful!"

The martial artist who could control steel was a middle-aged man named Zhang Cun, possessing the "Steel Tycoon System". His system tasks were all related to iron, and his abilities were mostly the same.

Formerly a pioneer, he explored exotic iron mines in outer regions. Later, he retired and became a merchant dealing in steel, possessing strength at the initial stage of Meridian Opening. He was just passing by when he encountered this situation and naturally stepped in to help.

Zhang Cun, seeing others threatened by the white spikes, quickly conjured another iron wall, hoping to block the white spikes just like he had done before.

Due to the enhanced strength of the One-Armed Crab, the iron he condensed this time was a meter thick! It was also an alloy steel mixed with rare metals, strong enough that even midstage Meridian Opening attacks might not destroy it!

However, to his surprise, the penetrative power of the white spikes this time was extremely terrifying. They ignored the wall of iron as if it were nothing, directly piercing through the iron wall, leaving thin sharp holes as they continued to stab towards them.

"Quick, dodge!" Lu Hong yelled.

But it was already a step too late—

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Zhang Cun couldn't dodge in time, and several spikes pierced through his chest. His form jerked violently, the white spikes moved so fast that he didn't even feel the impact before they had penetrated his body, causing puffs of blood to burst out.

Blood splattered out and he was quickly soaked in blood, turning into a bloody figure before falling from the sky.

The pincers of the One-Armed Crab then turned towards Zhang Cun to snip at him.

Kong Daming rushed over, throwing his Gluttonous Cauldron to catch Zhang Cun, who landed in the cauldron with a dull thud. The cauldron tumbled in the air, radiating intense flames that twisted the air around it, not directly resisting the spikes.

But the white spikes turned around and continued towards Kong Daming, still piercing through the Gluttonous Cauldron.

He hurriedly pulled the cauldron back, but midair, the Gluttonous Cauldron was struck by a crab leg, shattering outright. Zhang Cun also fell out, landing in a pile of ruins, buried in the dust.

However, the white spikes kept stabbing towards Kong Daming. Kong Daming inhaled sharply, the Samadhi Fire spread again, but this time his flames could not burn away the white toxic spikes. He couldn't dodge in time, and his arm was also pierced by the white spikes.

"Sss!"

Kong Daming's face turned pale as he quickly dodged. Despite his chubby appearance, he was actually very agile, rolling down like a fat ball, his speed both rapid and swift.

But he hadn't rolled far when the pincer thundered down, emitting a sharp whistling, Kong Daming maneuvering his body barely avoided the pincer. Although the pincer didn't hit him directly, he was still swept up by the aftermath and slammed into a building, smashing a huge round hole into it.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

The One-Armed Crab shook its eight legs, spurting out dense white spikes again, stabbing towards the broken hole in the building, intending to kill Kong Daming.

"You dare to touch my husband! Bastard!"

Chen Xiuqin stood in front of the broken hole in the building, attempting to use Medusa's petrification again to block those spikes.

But she quickly realized that her snake hair was also ineffective, completely unable to petrify the white spikes. However, she quickly changed her approach, turning her snake hair into thin beams of light, deftly wrapping around the white spikes.

"Precarious"

The white spikes were diverted by her powers, not stabbing towards Kong Daming inside the building but instead piercing down to the floor below. But a sharp crab leg came whistling through the air, scraping across her waist, slashing a severe wound across it.

"Wife!"

Kong Daming had just crawled out of the broken hole when he saw everything happen, and his eyes immediately reddened in alarm. He hurriedly charged towards Chen Xiuqin and caught her in mid-air. However, the One-Armed Crab's pincer hammered down once again, smashing towards them. Kong Daming summoned another Gluttonous Cauldron, trying to block this strike!

However, with a massive boom, the pincer shattered the Gluttonous Cauldron into pieces, much like shards of porcelain, easily broken, utterly unable to withstand the horrifying impact. The pincer, emitting a violent aura, continued its descent towards Kong Daming.

"Not good!"

Kong Daming, seeing his injured wife, gritted his teeth, flipped over in mid-air, and used his hefty body to protect Chen Xiuqin beneath him.

Crack!

The enormous pincer slammed onto Kong Daming's back. A sound of breaking bones was heard; his spine was directly smashed.

Bang!

The couple, Kong Daming, hit the ground, creating a huge pit!

In the distance, the remaining Meridian Opening stage martial artists, upon seeing this, immediately attacked the One-Armed Crab from different directions, trying to draw its attention. Lightning, thunder... the booming sounds were deafening. Yet, their attacks had absolutely no effect on the One-Armed Crab. It turned and roared at them, its spines stabbing towards the others.

The color drained from their faces. Two of them were instantly smashed into the ruins, while the other two, who had stronger evasive abilities, managed to dodge. However, the One-Armed Crab spewed out white venom Like a Shadow, laying them flat as well!

The sharp crab legs stomped around, targeting the position of the Kong Daming couple and stepped down!

"Watch out!"

Lu Hong abandoned his attack, turned around, and immediately rushed to save the Kong Daming couple. His speed was swift, as he was relatively close, and quickly dragged them out from under the crab's legs, but he himself did not manage to dodge in time, and a sharp crab leg grazed his left arm. The glaring crab leg, like a white blade, severed his left arm!

"Ugh!"

Lu Hong's face turned bloodless instantly. Blood was streaming from where his arm had been severed, but he still desperately pulled the Kong Daming couple out from the rubble and with a "bang!" the three of them collided with a crushed car, smashing it further.

The strength of the One-Armed Crab was too formidable. The power of the late Meridian Opening stage was far beyond what they could withstand.

Chen Xiuqin, clutching her waist wound, did not have time to tend to her own injuries but anxiously embraced Kong Daming in her arms and bit her lip: "Why would you do such a foolish thing!"

Kong Daming lay on the ground, his lower body completely numb, but still managed to pry his eyes open and chuckled bitterly, "I promised to protect you."

"Fool!"

Chen Xiuqin struggled to sit up, but she was also severely injured and had no strength to move. The couple's gaze then turned towards the One-Armed Crab in the sky, silently sighing.

"I never thought we would survive the wilderness beyond our domain only to die here."

The One-Armed Crab in the sky did not let up, swinging its pincers and bombing down at them again!

Despair surged in everyone's hearts. The battle here was too brutal; the fates of the other Meridian Opening stage martial artists were unknown. With injuries and disabilities among them, they were now powerless to fight. Even Lu Hong, having lost an arm, was unable to suppress the toxins in his body and could no longer move.

Just as the gigantic pincers were about to strike down, the soil under Lu Hong and the Kong Daming couple suddenly began to roll. The soil, as if alive, wrapped around the three and whisked them away!

Boom!

The One-Armed Crab's pincers smashed the ground, creating a large pit!

Yet Lu Hong and the three were now a hundred meters away, astonished, they looked up and saw Xiang Beifei.

"Beifei?"

Lu Hong weakly looked at Xiang Beifei, shocked. He hadn't expected that instead of other martial artists' support, it was Xiang Beifei who arrived.

"Sorry, I'm late," Xiang Beifei frowned.

He had initially thought Lu Hong could handle the One-Armed Crab, so he went to find the source of the One-Armed Crab. When he discovered the strangeness of the One-Armed Crab, he sensed something was amiss and immediately returned.

He had only been delayed below for about ten minutes, but in that brieftime, Lu Hong and the others had almost died at the hands of the One-Armed Crab.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The One-Armed Crab continued to move its eight legs towards them, each step thundering on the ground, shaking everyone's courage!

"Beifei, get away! It's too strong, it's in the late Meridian Opening stage, we can't beat it!" Kong Daming, despite being severely injured, urgently cried out.

Even though he had heard Xiuwen mention Xiang Beifei's current strength, it was only at the early Meridian Opening stage. The eight of them combined could not overcome it, let alone one person.

"It can only be countered by a martial artist in the late Meridian Opening stage!" Lu Hong also said anxiously.

"It's okay, give me a moment."

Xiang Beifei turned and stared intently at the giant crab rushing towards them.

Whoosh!

His figure turned into a ray of light and vanished from the spot!
