Chapter 2523 - 2017: Wits Against the Crocogator

Second update, asking for subscriptions, monthly tickets~~~...

The crocogator's plan was also quite good, even fantasizing about easily succeeding... After absorbing the pure blood of the Divine Dragon, its strength would surely break through significantly, and future achievements would be even greater.

However, it wouldn't have guessed that while it was treating the Little Dragon as prey, it itself had become prey of Qin Fang.

Buzz~~~

With the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword in hand, having already condensed the Annihilation Sword Intent, and incorporating a bit of Primordial Qi Force within it.

After advancing to Great Grandmaster Level, Qin Fang's strength improved considerably, now able to mobilize a bit of elemental energy, which previously he could hardly use at all... Not just the miscellaneous elemental energy, even a portion of the Four Symbols Prime Qi had begun to loosen.

Thus, Qin Fang's unseen and untriggered sword strike possessed absolutely terrifying power...

The crocogator's strength had reached the Spirit Beast King Level, and with its extremely formidable skin defense, before Qin Fang advanced to Great Grandmaster Level, he could only use the Vitality Secret Sword to injure it, while other attacks were ineffective.

This was a terrifying exotic beast far surpassing the Black Water Xuan Snake in strength...

Otherwise, the Little Dragon wouldn't have been injured so badly without gaining any advantage.

"I must succeed in one move!"

Qin Fang, hidden within the formation, watched the outside movements and seized the opportunity to strike... There would only be one chance, and if missed, it would be very difficult to find another. That's definitely not what Qin Fang wanted to see.

The Little Dragon's body had swelled considerably, comparable to the crocogator, its aura strong yet restrained, attempting not to release it... Once the aura of the True Dragon was exposed, it would surely attract more coveters.

A Spirit Beast King level crocogator was already troublesome enough, and if another exotic beast of similar strength joined in, even with Qin Fang's participation, there would be no chance of victory. It would instead be risky for himself.

The Divine Silkworm hovered behind the crocogator, seemingly seeking an opportunity to strike... The crocogator didn't pay much attention to its presence, unless the Divine Silkworm could penetrate its body, which might pose a threat. Otherwise, it could be ignored.

However, the Divine Silkworm had already suffered once at the crocogator's hands; the crocogator wouldn't give it another chance...

Bam~~

At this moment, the Little Dragon and the crocogator clashed head-on, the dull sound shaking the entire mountain forest... Trees around them broke and collapsed in swathes, causing quite a commotion. Some birds and beasts, already nesting, were startled and fled.

However, such an attack by fierce beasts was not enough to attract other ferocious exotic beasts...

The collision was quite intense; it was the most direct hand-to-hand combat...

Yet, neither side gained any advantage... The crocogator's defense was incredibly strong, and the Little Dragon wasn't much weaker.

What truly made hearts race was that the crocogator seemed to have anticipated the collision wouldn't succeed. Its head suddenly twisted, turning its massive blood-soaked mouth in a different direction, ferociously lunging at the Little Dragon's body.

With its blood-soaked mouth, cold and sharp teeth, and the fierce gleam in the crocogator's eyes, all showed the crocogator's terrifying strength and malicious intent...

At this moment, the Little Dragon's body was so close that evading seemed nearly impossible... The only solution seemed to be to withstand the crocogator's ferocious bite with its own body.

If it could withstand it, there'd be no life-threatening danger, just injury...

Failing to withstand it might result in its body being bitten in two by the crocogator... Even if the Little Dragon might not die immediately, it would definitely suffer severe injuries, unable to withstand the crocogator's further attacks, likely leading to its eventual death.

But...

Would the Little Dragon be that fragile?

Would Qin Fang let the crocogator succeed?

Clearly... things wouldn't be that simple.

Buzz~~

Almost in this critical moment, just as the crocogator thought victory was within reach, Qin Fang's figure suddenly rushed from the formation. A cold silver light flashed, and Qin Fang appeared beside the crocogator's body.

The crocogator was simply too large, while the Little Dragon intentionally drew it closer...

Qin Fang easily appeared beside the crocogator, something even the crocogator hadn't anticipated...

Nevertheless, the crocogator was strong, and Qin Fang's sudden appearance slightly surprised it.

Of course, as a Spirit Beast King, its cultivation equated to that of human Supreme Experts, with advantages in its own right, and its strength comfortably exceeding those of human Supreme Experts of the same level, and Qin Fang had only just stepped into Great Grandmaster Level; the crocogator naturally wouldn't see Qin Fang as a threat.

Even though the sword in Qin Fang's hand made it feel a slight threat...

Moreover, now it has finally seized such a good opportunity, a chance to drink dragon blood. Even knowing Qin Fang could threaten it, it couldn't give up on such a great chance... Dragon blood and a little skin injury are completely different concepts!

But...

Could Little Dragon be so easily hit?

Obviously not!

Just as the Crocogator's massive mouth was about to engulf Little Dragon, Little Dragon suddenly... shrank!

Indeed, it shrank!

Far less than its over-ten-meter length and barrel-like girth, nearly matching the Crocogator, but in that instant, it rapidly decreased in size... Quickly, it became a four-legged serpent less than ten centimeters long.

Its body became smaller, but its speed increased...

The Crocogator's massive mouth snapped shut, biting only air and almost chipping its sharp teeth... Meanwhile, the nimble Little Dragon, now as small as a four-legged serpent, lightly and easily escaped through its teeth.

This change was completely unforeseen by the Crocogator...

In its blood-red eyes was confusion and surprise...

At the same time, it also felt deep fear!

Because... as it bit down, Qin Fang's hand holding the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword had already fiercely struck.

Puch~~~

Undeniably, the Crocogator's skin defense was exceedingly formidable, even the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword found it difficult to penetrate its defenses... Its defensive power was several levels higher than that of the Black Water Xuan Snake and the Xuan Shui Python.

However, Qin Fang's sword was not just sharp; it carried Annihilation Sword Intent and Primordial Qi Force... These were terrifying additional forces that greatly boosted attack power, directly elevating Qin Fang's attack to an extremely fearsome level.

The Crocogator thought it might suffer only a minor injury, yet did not expect... Qin Fang would nearly employ his strongest power, ruthlessly driving it downwards, significantly boosting this sword's attack power.

The Crocogator's formidable defense, under Qin Fang's sword, while not as easily penetrable as tofu, faced little obstruction... The sword's edge pierced the Crocogator's skin, directly entered its body.

Moreover, Qin Fang's sword thrust was extremely forceful, penetrating not just the Crocogator's body but directly driving the sword deep, reaching the hilt...

Qin Fang could even feel the immense resistance from the sword's edge, seemingly the tip had reached the opposite side of the Crocogator's skin... Unfortunately, the explosive force had depleted much, insufficient to pierce completely through the Crocogator's body!

"Roar~~~"

Upon suffering such a terrifying heavy strike, even a Spirit Beast King like the Crocogator couldn't help but emit a high-pitched howl... The intense pain wasn't easy to bear, even for the Crocogator.

The furious sound waves almost instantly deafened Qin Fang's ears... His Body-Protecting Primordial Gang trembled violently under these waves, appearing on the verge of shattering.

Yet, the Protective Gang Qi formed and maintained by elemental energy was evidently stronger than ordinary Protective Gang Qi. Faint traces of elemental energy flowed on the gang shield, sustaining its stability, forcefully keeping it intact.

"Roar~~~"

After the roar, the Crocogator grew extremely ferocious, immediately twisting its gigantic head around, fiercely rushing towards Qin Fang... Its massive mouth wide open, seemingly ready to swallow Qin Fang whole.

"Damn..."

Though Qin Fang anticipated the Crocogator's retaliation, he didn't expect such quick and fierce response... At this moment, he had no time to withdraw the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword, swiftly moving away, instantly retreating five to six meters from the spot.

Boom~~~

The Crocogator's massive head violently struck the place where Qin Fang had stood, immediately creating a large crater...

The flying debris contained considerable force, crashing into Qin Fang's Body-Protecting Primordial Gang, producing popping sounds that violently shook the shield, ultimately causing it to shatter.

Although the Body-Protecting Primordial Gang indeed surpassed Protective Gang Qi, it was not invincible... During terrifying attacks, it would still break.

However, these additional attacks stopped, and Qin Fang immediately reformed the Body-Protecting Primordial Gang, firmly standing there, unscathed... not a hair out of place.

"Fool... you fell into the trap!"

The Crocogator grew even more berserk, its blood-red eyes extraordinarily red; Qin Fang clearly felt the Crocogator's fury... Yet, Qin Fang remained calm, grinning while cursing.

Thunk~~~

At some unknown time, a shadow stood beside the Crocogator, without any trace of life force. Taking advantage of the Crocogator's focus on Qin Fang, it ruthlessly drove a black spike into the Crocogator's body... (To be continued.
