Chapter 1683 is nothing to fear!
Chapter 1683 is nothing to fear!
"Watch out for venom! Spread out!"
Ji Zhou shouted loudly, his body moving like the wind, narrowly avoiding a venomous saliva shot towards his face.
The dark green liquid brushed past his clothes and landed in the swampy puddle behind him, making a hissing sound and emitting puffs of white smoke, demonstrating its potent toxicity.
Amu and the others also used various methods, either dodging with their agile movements or condensing spiritual energy shields to block.
Although they looked a bit disheveled, their formation remained intact.
"Its eye was injured, its vision was obstructed, so we attacked its left side!"
Jizhou keenly observed that the venomous crocodile was noticeably hesitant when turning to the left because its right eye had been attacked, and immediately seized upon this weakness.
"Roger that!"
Upon hearing the sound, Da Niu roared, his muscles bulging. He neither dodged nor evaded, but instead slammed his fists, which glowed with an earthy yellow light, into the left rib area of the Poisonous Crocodile!
"Boom!"
A dull, loud thud resounded, as if struck on a large cowhide drum!
The venomous crocodile, in pain, shuddered violently, and its attack from the left side momentarily froze.
It roared in anger, but before it could retaliate, Jizhou had already devised a countermeasure.
"good chance!"
Ji Zhou's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He no longer held back and pushed the physical power tempered by the "Return to One Technique of All Transformations" to its limit. Like an arrow released from a bow, he once again pounced on the Poisonous Crocodile's injured right eye!
This time, in addition to the condensed dragon energy, there was also a faint trace of silver light flowing on his fist. It was a manifestation of the spatial power being compressed to the extreme. It was not to tear space apart, but to concentrate all the power into one point and unleash the strongest penetrating force!
"Pfft!"
This time, Jizhou's fist was not completely blocked by the thick mud armor.
That power, concentrated to its extreme, was like a red-hot iron rod, forcefully breaking through the defense and piercing deep into the already wounded and bloodied eye socket of the Poisonous Crocodile!
"Roar--!!!"
The venomous crocodile let out a deafening scream, its massive body twisting wildly and churning the surrounding mud into chaos.
But it was already at its last gasp; its brain had been severely damaged, and its vitality was rapidly fading away!
Having landed a successful blow, Jizhou retreated swiftly without hesitation, avoiding its desperate final counterattack.
Fortunately, after dealing with something as terrifying as the Abyss, this thing in front of us is nothing!
"Attack with full force!" Ji Zhou calmly ordered.
"Yes!"
Seeing this, the disciples of the Battle Hall were greatly encouraged, and various attacks rained down on the struggling, weakening Poisonous Crocodile!
Amu moved nimbly, and in the instant that the venomous crocodile roared with its head raised in pain, he slid in and approached its abdomen.
Then, spiritual energy gathered in both palms, and he slammed them out fiercely!
"boom!"
With a muffled thud, the powerful impact penetrated the body, causing the venomous crocodile's massive body to tremble, its internal organs clearly suffering considerable damage.
Da Niu was even more valiant. He spotted the crocodile's gaping maw, which was wide open in pain, and with a roar, he lifted a hard clod of mud the size of a millstone next to him and, with a burst of all his strength, shoved it into the crocodile's gaping maw!
"Gurgle... Roar!"
The crocodile's screams turned into painful whimpers. Its enormous bite force crushed the mud instantly, but the fragments also got stuck in its throat, making it difficult to breathe. Its frantic head-shaking movements also seemed to lack momentum.
The other disciples were not idle either. Sword light, fist shadows, and wind blades attacked the Poisonous Crocodile's wounds, joints, and other vulnerable parts from all sorts of tricky angles!
Although a single attack may not cause a fatal wound, the cumulative effect, like an ant colony devouring an elephant, will continuously intensify its suffering and deplete its last bit of life force!
The venomous crocodile's struggles grew weaker and weaker; its sweeping tail became limp and powerless, and its venomous spit became thin and intermittent.
In its remaining left eye, the cruel light was replaced by pain and despair.
Jizhou steadied his breathing, his eyes coldly fixed on the dying beast, without immediately stepping forward.
He was waiting for an absolutely safe opportunity.
Finally, as the venomous crocodile once again tilted its head back in pain due to a blocked throat, exposing its relatively vulnerable throat area...
Ji Zhou moved with lightning speed, charging forward once more!
This time, he gathered an extremely concentrated wisp of spiritual energy at his fingertips, not to penetrate, but to cut!
He pointed his fingers like a knife and, taking advantage of the moment the crocodile tilted its head back, precisely sliced through the gaps in the scales of its throat!
"Hey!"
A line of blood appeared, and then blood gushed out like a fountain!
The venomous crocodile's last breath was extinguished. Its massive body convulsed violently a few times before collapsing to the ground with a thud, splashing mud and water, and remaining completely still.
The edge of the swamp fell silent for a time, with only the slightly hurried breathing of the group and the gurgling of bubbles in the swamp.
"The knot... is over?"
One of the disciples stared in disbelief at the enormous, now motionless creature.
They actually dealt with this enormous late-stage Core Formation cultivator so easily!
They had thought that the things in the Spirit Realm were incredibly terrifying, far more difficult than what they had faced in the human world.
But... the evil cultivators from before, and the demonic beasts this time!
There is nothing to be afraid of!
For a moment, even though everyone was more or less disheveled, their eyes shone with boundless excitement!
"Yes, it's over!" Ji Zhou let out a long breath, confirming that the ferocious beast was completely dead.
He looked around at his disciples, who, though covered in mud and somewhat disheveled, had increasingly bright eyes, and felt gratified.
"Well done, brothers!"
"That's the second vote! We still have a third and a fourth vote! Go for it!!"
"Clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils. Demon cores, poison glands, and those hardest bone spurs on its back are all good stuff!"
After Ji Zhou gave his instructions, the disciples of the Battle Hall immediately began to skillfully process the carcass of the Poisonous Crocodile.
Meanwhile, the villagers who had fled earlier watched from a distance for a long time. Seeing that the ferocious beast had been completely subdued, they finally mustered their courage and cautiously regrouped.
Leading the group was the same old man who had narrowly escaped death. Supported by several young men, he walked up to Jizhou and, without a word, was about to kneel down again, his voice choked with emotion and trembling:
"Immortal Masters! Esteemed Immortal Masters! Thank you... thank you for getting rid of this wicked beast! It... it has been ravaging our Luoxia Village for more than half a year, eating several people. We don't even dare to go near the swamp to gather some water plants... If it weren't for you today, I would definitely be dead!"
Behind him, dozens of villagers knelt down in unison, men, women, and children, their faces filled with relief at surviving the ordeal and heartfelt gratitude towards Jizhou and the others.
"Thank you so much, Immortal Master, for saving my life!"
"Thank you, Immortal Master, for ridding us of this great scourge!"
"We, Luoxia Village, will never forget the Immortal's great kindness and virtue!"
