Chapter 157: Corpse Lion Crocodile Demon
flashed, countless large and small red orbs flickering in the glow. 。Yu Lie and several puppets' hearts tightened instantly. Previously, their six accomplices were deeply trapped in the siege of the C...The black short sword and Yuan Hao's three-pointed, two-edged blade whistled fiercely as they charged towards the two mounds of corpse fire, but upon contact... 。The flying sword and the three-pointed, two-edged blade trembled, as if drunk, swaying uncontrollably in mid-air. 。Lu Xiaotian's face turned pale with surprise. He had encountered a similar situation in the hands of cultivators in the Evil Spirit Valley. Luckily, he wasn't just wearing one or two magic weapons. However, the effect of that little green orb didn't seem to be as immediate as Corpse Fire. 。I wonder if there's any connection between that emerald bead and the green corpse fire before me. Could it be that the people of Evil Spirit Valley also used this to refine it
The Corpse Lion Crocodile Demon saw Lu Xia Tian and Yuan Hao suffer losses, and actually let out a rough, heavy chuckle 。 。It's quite troublesome, though. Just this wisp of fire wouldn't be enough to harm him. 。Lu Xia Tian let out a cold snort, extending his hand and pointing at the Earth-Shattering Blade flying through the air. 。The earth-cleaving blade trembled, and a razor-sharp sword energy capable of cleaving gold and shattering stone suddenly erupted, striking the green corpse fire. 。The green corpse fire was struck by a sword qi and extinguished nearly one-third of it instantly. Lu Xiaoteng gritted his teeth, the Cracking Earth Blade once again unleashed two sword qis 。 。In such a perilous situation, any minor detail could prove to be fatal. 。Lu Xia Tian didn't have time to feel sorry for himself. He took out another medium-grade spirit stone and poured a drop of cold marrow dew into his mouth. The spiritual power in his body quickly filled up. Thinking about it, this cold marrow dew was useless for foundation building cultivators. It was better to use it up now. This was all Lu Xia Tian could comfort himself with at the moment. 。On the other side, Yuan Hao also used a similar method, causing the blazing sun sword to shoot out three streaks of fire-winking sword energy that collided with the green corpse fire. When two different types of flames clashed, they hissed and crackled. The two flames, like ice and snow in the sunlight, quickly melted away. 。On the other side, Wu Yan had successfully leaped among the rocks. She glanced at Yuan Hao and Lu Xiaoteng who were fighting fiercely with the Corpse Lion Crocodile Demon. The intense battle made her heart skip a beat. A slight misstep could result in serious injuries, or even death on the spot. 。It's best to collect these Ginseng roots as soon as possible and leave this swampy area. 。Originally prepared to kill other monsters, Su Qing saw the Corpse Lion Crocodile monster appear. The other monsters scattered and temporarily calmed down. As for Lu Xiaoteng's side, ordinary magic weapons did not inflict any damage on the Corpse Lion Crocodile monster. 。She probably wouldn't be of much help going up there, it's best to collect the purple ginseng as soon as possible. 。Amongst the jumbled rocks, twenty-seven plants were scattered. A few grew in the cracks of the stones, and from afar, they were impossible to see 。"Roar!" The Corpse Lion Crocodile Demon, seeing that even the Purple Spirit Orchid had been taken, suddenly became furious. Its massive body leaped from the air and pounced towards Wu Yan and Su Qing. 。"Hurry!" Lu Xia Tian stretched out his hand and shook it, the binding demon rope like a spirit snake coiled around the Corpse Lion Crocodile Demon, pulling it down into the mud. 。Wu Yan and Su Qing were both startled, then quickly reacted. Like rabbits leaping, they moved in a flurry, using the slightly thicker patches of reeds as springboards, before soaring over twenty meters away. 。As soon as the two were slightly freed from their predicament, Lu Xiaoteng immediately retracted the Binding Demon Rope before the Corpse Lion Crocodile Monster could struggle with all its might. 。This beast is incredibly powerful, if the Binding Rope were to be destroyed it would be a huge loss. 。Although three artifacts were destroyed previously to distract Dugu Han's attention, Dugu Han and the other two were killed. Two artifacts were given to Su Qing. 。His number of magical artifacts is not decreasing but increasing. 。But the curved knives, blue steel, and blue hooks, these are somewhat similar. 。The Binding Rope can sometimes achieve effects that other magic artifacts simply cannot, as just demonstrated. 。The corpse lion demon, once again fallen into the mire, raged. Seeing Wu Yan and Su Qing using the scattered patches of grass in the mud to advance, a fierce light flashed in its two fist-sized eyes. It whipped its iron tail, sending the Sun Sword flying, before diving its head into the mire. 。Beneath the mud and silt, he rushed towards Su Qing who was closer. 。Along the way, some patches of grass were also destroyed and shattered. 。
Lu Xia Tian hurriedly followed closely behind. Although the grassland was destroyed, now he only controlled a crack-earth blade and cast spells even more freely.
After several ice spells were cast, the muddy sewage below visibly froze into blocks of ice. 。This kind of ice cannot, like a patch of grass, maintain itself for too long. It can only borrow strength for a very short time. If given more time, it will still sink into the mire. 。Yuan Hao had also originally imagined himself like Lu Xia Tian, displaying his magical abilities and then using them to leave. 。But after several attempts, he discovered that when he cast his freezing spell, his magic power dissipated completely. A thin layer of ice crystals formed on the swamp, but it did not concentrate into a small area. 。simply impossible to leverage 。Only then did he realize that using Lu Xiaitian's seemingly effortless low-level spells effectively was not easy at all. It required an extremely strict level of control over one's magical power. 。
Yuan Hao was a prodigious child, his talent in the fire element cultivation was once in centuries.
He had a rapid cultivation speed, and his understanding of fire-type martial arts was extraordinary. He mastered the Blazing Sun Sword very early on. 。Unlike Lu Xia Tian, who was forced into the Heishui Mine by Qian Dali, spending over six years diligently cultivating within. He couldn't cultivate powerful combat techniques and relied solely on consuming spirit stones from the mine to hone his spells. 。At that time, Lu Xia Tian did not expect there would be such opportunities later. 。We can only rely on improving our magical abilities and winning the sect's small competition to get the reward of Zhuji Dan. 。That's why his magical attainments are beyond the reach of other cultivators. 。
Many cultivators who entered the Crimson Forbidden Zone had a considerable number of talismans in their hands, but the freezing technique did not have much killing power nor defensive ability.
Almost no talisman makers would paint talismans like this that wouldn't sell.
It was precisely this low-level spell, one that everyone else disregarded, that proved indispensable at this moment. 。However, Yuan Hao quickly reacted. Lu Xiaoteng and the others leapt up, and before the ice in the mud could disappear, he saw reality for what it was. Taking advantage of the ice Lu Xiaoteng had left behind, he followed closely behind Lu Xiaoteng and rushed forward. 。
The corpse-eating lion crocodile's powerful tail lashed out, causing Su Qing to pale in fright. She hurriedly summoned her golden bell magical artifact, and the bell-shaped energy shield barely managed to withstand the ferocious blow that was several times stronger than the power of the artifact.
However, Su Qing was also struck away dozens of meters, like a ball being hit by a large stick. 。Luckily, Lu Xiaoteng arrived just in time. A few ice techniques allowed Su Qing to borrow strength when she fell and she didn't suffer any serious injuries. She swung her sword, killing two spider demons that rushed over, and continued to quickly leave the swamp. 。The Corpse Lion Crocodile Demon was enraged and frustrated. He never expected his fatal blow to be blocked by this seemingly weak human just now, sustaining no harm at all. 。It's just that I can't bear to let these humans leave. 。Su Qing was swatted away by the tail just now. The enraged corpse lion crocodile demon continued to charge towards Wu Yan who was closer. 。Wu Yan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she desperately ran away. 。She didn't have Su Qing's kind of perverted defensive magic weapon. If a Corpse Lion Crocodile demon attacked like this, she probably wouldn't even be able to keep her whole body intact; it would be thanks to the blessings of her ancestors. 。“Yuan brother, the two of us hold back this beast, don't take a self-preserving attitude, otherwise I'm afraid things won't go as we wish. " 。Lü Xiaotien suddenly stopped Yuan Hao, who was about to flee ashore. 。Even if he were in danger, he would choose to run away directly. 。But at this time, he could still try to help Wu Yan. He wouldn't just stand by and do nothing. Lu Xiaotian asked himself that although he was decisive in killing, he wasn't a heartless person who turned a blind eye to death. 。Of course, he was still lacking on his own. With Yuan Hao, who was a formidable force, joining him, they could give it a try. 。"How could it >>> 。Yuan Hao put on a strained smile. He didn't expect Lu Xiaoteng to care about him so much. He only showed a slight hint, and Lu Xiaoteng immediately perceived his intentions. 。However, since Lu Xia Tian said so, Yuan Hao really dared not just leave. He didn't have Lu Xia Tian's magical skills. Once he disregarded Wu Yan's life or death, Lu Xia Tian would turn against him. In this quagmire, he would be helpless, and there was a high chance he would die here. 。Even with Lu Xia Tian's current strength on display, even if he were safely ashore, he would still be unable to defeat the opponent. 。Lu Xia Tian poured two more drops of Cold Marrow Dew into his mouth, then roared, and the Cracking Earth Blade in mid-air, infused with a large amount of mana, shone like a golden sun, radiating light so intense it was impossible to look directly at. 。The crisscrossing sword intent caused a stir, leaving even disciples of the Gu Jianzong and Lingxiao Palace who were over two hundred zhang away on the muddy banks speechless. 。Yuan Hao naturally understood the principle that "strike while the iron is hot". Lu Xiaitian's attack had almost exhausted his magic power. In such a dangerous place as the mire, even if he killed the corpse lion crocodile in front of him, there would be other monsters coming over in no time. 。He did have a few pills on him that could quickly replenish his magical power, but he had already used one before, and there were only two left in his hand. It would take some time to leave the Blood-colored Forbidden Zone, so he had to keep some as a backup. 。It's certain that the spirit liquid Lu Xiaitian had taken a few times was not an ordinary product. 。
Though he is from the ancient Sword Sect, his all-out effort for the disciples of Lingxiao Palace is well deserved.
Of course, since Lu Xia Tian spoke up, he had to put in some effort. 。Yuan Hao gritted his teeth, and the Lieyang Sword also transformed into a towering sword qi, scorching with flames. 。He roared and slashed at the corpse-eating lion crocodile demon. 。The astonishing sword qi caused Su Qing and Wu Yan to turn around simultaneously, seeing the reactions of Lu Xia Tian and Yuan Hao at the same time. In order to hold back this Corpse Lion Crocodile demon and create a chance for them to escape, Lu Xia Tian almost put in all his effort. 。Even though Yuan Hao did put in some effort, he only moved when Lu Xiaitian threatened him. 。Seeing Lü Xiaotiān's face suddenly pale because his mana had been depleted too quickly, both Su Qīng and Wú Yán gritted their teeth. 。"Damn Yuan Hao, he's so cunning. If Lu Xia Tian gets into any trouble, even if he manages to make it ashore, I won't let him get away with this!" 。Su Qing directly scolded. 。The corpse-lion crocodile demon felt an unprecedentedly huge threat looming overhead. Its whole body trembled, temporarily abandoning its pursuit of Wu Yan. It rose from the mud, but the soft mud couldn't support its heavy body, only revealing half of it. 。The Corpse Lion Crocodile Demon roared ferociously, spitting out a large green demonic pill that slammed into the enormous golden sword aura, almost tangible. 。At the same time, its tail swayed, pointing towards the sword qi emitted by Yuan Hao's Blazing Sun Sword. 。
With a deafening boom, two explosions of different sizes sent mud flying for dozens of feet in all directions.
The Corpse Lion Crocodile Demon let out a heart-wrenching screech as it swallowed the green demon pill, its spirit light dwindling drastically. Its massive body, nearly two zhang tall, was blasted back nearly ten zhang. 。Lu XiaTian's thin frame was no match for the Corpse Lion Crocodile Demon, let alone being sent flying tens of meters in the air and coughing up mouthful after mouthful of blood. 。He felt so down, Lu Xia Tian wanted to cry. He just wanted to help Wu Yan but instead he almost dragged himself into trouble. 。I never expected that pushing a magic weapon to its limit would have such immense power. Of course, this is also partly due to the inherent sharpness of the Earth-Splitting Blade itself. 。
Luckily, the icy marrow essence swallowed at this time had already melted within the body. The previously empty meridians were now brimming with energy once more.
Otherwise, his magic would be depleted, and he would be nothing more than an ordinary person with a stronger physique. But in this quagmire, being physically stronger is of little use. 。Even if the monsters didn't eat him, he would eventually be buried by the mud and suffocate. 。My body was sent flying dozens of meters by the immense shockwave. Using my magic, I suppressed the pain in my internal organs as they were injured. The only benefit of being blasted away like this was probably saving myself dozens of meters of walking distance, though the process wasn't exactly pleasant. 。After all, it's passive. 。Before it even fell, Lu Xia Tian popped a few cold pills into his mouth. 。Fortunately, there's no hindrance to casting spells. 。He was blown backwards in the air, fast and furious. He didn't even have time to adjust his posture before the mud froze on him. Lu Xiaotian thrust his palm upwards and leaped into the air. 。
At this time, Su Qing, who had hurriedly returned to the shore, along with Wu Yan and others, were all stunned by the huge explosion just now. Seeing Lu Xiaoteng spitting blood and flying backwards, their eyes widened in horror as they watched him about to fall into the mud, their hearts hanging in their throats.
Luckily, Lu XiaTian was unharmed and could still cast spells. He just borrowed some strength and recovered as before. 。Yuan Hao also suffered some collateral damage, being stunned by the massive shockwave. He fought back against the Corpse Lion Crocodile Demon with all his might, but a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth. 。It's just that compared to Lu Xiaodong, the situation is a little better. 。
The Corpse Lion Crocodile Demon fell into the mud, splashing a large amount of muck again. At this time, it was also very embarrassed. Its tail and the Blazing Sun Sword had collided hard, already cutting a large gash.
However, this external injury is not particularly serious. After all, Yuan Hao did not go all out. The truly formidable thing is that the demonic pill was struck by Lu Xiaoteng's full force, and the corpse-eating lion crocodile demon is, after all, not yet a fourth-order monster. 。This seemingly weak human race could actually unleash such a powerful attack, it was quite taken aback. If this happened a few more times, I'm afraid even it wouldn't escape death today. 。Of course, it was just a monster after all, so it naturally didn't know that even if Lu Xia Tian had the Cold Marrow Dew to replenish his mana, he couldn't unleash such a powerful attack again in a short time. 。 terrain quite closely.” 。Maybe there will be Starry Shell snails. 。Lu Xiaoxian during this period, took advantage of the boundary worm to become familiar with quite a few formation restrictions in th...
