King of Ten Thousand Years

Liu Yi and his group were embarrassed.

They were all elites of the Yunxiao Sect’s Lower Sect.

Yet they had been completely outshined by a Scattered Stream Martial Artist and someone at the Third Layer of Spirit Sea Realm.

Luo Tian and the elegant man had teamed up and already wounded the Ghost Crocodile several times. Meanwhile, Liu Yi’s group hadn’t even touched its skin. The gap between them was too vast to bear.

"Senior Brother Liu, I think Brother Tang must have some special method to see the Ghost Crocodile," a female disciple said.

It was so dark that they couldn’t clearly see what was happening in the other battle.

They all assumed the elegant man was playing the main role.

"We really drew the short straw. An expert like Brother Tang went over to help Luo Tian," another person said.

"Stop spouting nonsense and find the Ghost Crocodile!" Liu Yi barked impatiently.

ROAR! AHH!

Suddenly, the Ghost Crocodile’s roar was accompanied by the shriek of the female disciple.

BOOM!

Liu Yi immediately struck out with his palm. A massive Fiery Flame Palm Light, radiating intense heat, shot forward.

The Ghost Crocodile dodged just in time, but it still took half the Palm Force, leaving a scorched patch on its body.

"I wounded the Ghost Crocodile!" Liu Yi said with a smile.

But in the next moment, he saw that the female disciple’s entire arm was gone!

He had indeed wounded the Ghost Crocodile, but his side had lost a major combatant. The situation seemed to be taking a turn for the worse.

「On the other side.」

Luo Tian and the elegant young man joined forces and wounded the Ghost Crocodile again.

The Ghost Crocodile’s defense was decent, but not particularly strong.

After being wounded repeatedly, this Ghost Crocodile’s injuries were already quite severe.

Luo Tian felt that the Ghost Crocodile was even easier to deal with than the Five-Colored Spirit Deer.

In truth, the most terrifying thing about the Ghost Crocodile was its unpredictable concealing ability, which, combined with its powerful lethality, made it a nightmare for Martial Artists.

As long as one could perfectly counter this ability, a Ghost Crocodile was only slightly stronger than an ordinary Demon Beast.

’How does he keep finding the Ghost Crocodile?’

The elegant young man glanced at Luo Tian from time to time, his mind filled with wonder and speculation.

But he never would have guessed that Luo Tian had cultivated Spiritual Sense.

Generally speaking, one had to be at least in the Earth Element Realm to cultivate Spiritual Sense.

ROAR!

The Ghost Crocodile’s dark eyes stared venomously at Luo Tian. It roared and shot forward in a straight line like a phantom.

’Since I can’t hide, I’ll take the initiative and attack.’

’When it comes to close combat, how can humans be our match?’

’As long as I kill this kid, I can rely on my specialty—hidden sneak attacks—to finish off the elegant man.’

"Brother Luo, be careful!" the elegant young man shouted hastily.

"Close combat?"

The corner of Luo Tian’s mouth curled up slightly.

He immediately activated his Celestial Furnace Treasure Body. A jade-like azure luster appeared on his skin, coalescing into a faint, azure defensive membrane of light.

"Guiyuan Cloud-Dispelling Hand!"

With the Celestial Furnace Treasure Body pushed to its limit, the power of this Palm Technique became even more terrifying!

BOOM! POW!

The Ghost Crocodile, having taken the offensive, never expected Luo Tian to meet it head-on without dodging or retreating, and with an even more powerful and ferocious Palm Technique.

It was too late to dodge; it made intimate contact with the Guiyuan Cloud-Dispelling Hand.

POW!

The Ghost Crocodile felt like it had slammed into a wall as hard as iron. A few of its teeth shattered, and it was knocked back several meters.

The Ghost Crocodile was a little dazed.

’Could such a powerful attack really come from someone at the Third Layer of Spirit Sea Realm?’

But in fact, Luo Tian hadn’t even used his full strength. Otherwise, that one palm strike could have at least severely wounded the Ghost Crocodile.

’It’s best to hide some of your strength when you’re away from home.’

"Snow Wind Blade!"

The elegant young man seized the opportunity to attack. His folding fan slashed out, creating a huge, bright-white, icy Wind Blade that cut a bloody gash across the Ghost Crocodile’s abdomen.

The Ghost Crocodile shrieked repeatedly. Its injuries were too severe, and it planned to retreat.

’I can’t afford to mess with them, so I’m leaving!’

"Where do you think you’re going!"

Luo Tian gave chase, unleashing a Guiyuan Cloud-Dispelling Hand to block the Ghost Crocodile’s path.

A massive, thick, crystalline-yellow Palm Light suddenly appeared before the Ghost Crocodile, like a high wall blocking its way. The beast nearly crashed right into it.

ROAR!

The Ghost Crocodile let out a grief-stricken howl.

’That human at the Third Layer of Spirit Sea Realm is my nemesis! Not only can he see through my Concealing Technique, but he’s also skilled in a special Sealing Palm Technique.’

The Ghost Crocodile had nowhere to hide and no way to escape!

"Let’s attack together!" the elegant young man shouted.

The two of them surrounded it, attacking from both sides.

After five moves, the Ghost Crocodile was grievously injured and covered in blood.

After eight moves, the Ghost Crocodile lay motionless on the ground, no longer breathing.

"Brother Luo, your contribution to killing this Ghost Crocodile was immense. As for the spoils, I’ll take forty percent, and you take sixty!" the elegant young man said, his face full of admiration.

"Then I won’t be polite," Luo Tian said with a smile.

The two then began to carve up the materials.

The most valuable parts of a Ghost Crocodile were its Scale Armor, eyes, Demon Core, and bone marrow.

Due to his special needs for Alchemy, Luo Tian took all the bone marrow.

Then, he took the Ghost Crocodile’s eyes, leaving the Scale Armor and Demon Core for the elegant young man.

After dividing the spoils, the two returned to Liu Yi’s group.

They found Liu Yi and his two companions huddled together, trapped in an extremely passive situation.

Not knowing where the Ghost Crocodile was hiding, they could only defend passively and counterattack the instant it launched an assault. That was their only chance.

Furthermore, aside from Liu Yi, the other two Yunxiao Sect disciples were both seriously injured.

One must understand that injuries from a Ghost Crocodile affected the Soul and were extremely difficult to heal.

If these two injured Yunxiao Sect disciples didn’t receive timely treatment, their lives would likely be ruined.

"You already dealt with it?" Liu Yi’s expression was ugly, tinged with a hint of disbelief.

’They dealt with such a troublesome Ghost Crocodile so quickly? Or did it escape, and that’s why Luo Tian and the elegant young man came over?’

"Senior Brother Liu, do you need our help? We can split the loot seventy-thirty. I get seventy percent, you get thirty," Luo Tian asked with a gloating smile on his face.

"Seventy-thirty? In your dreams!"

The faces of Liu Yi and his group turned ashen.

They wouldn’t accept such a split, nor did they want to accept Luo Tian’s help.

After all, just moments ago, Liu Yi had been thinking about how he would quickly finish off his Ghost Crocodile and then go exploit Luo Tian for his share of the profits.

How could he have the face to ask Luo Tian for help now?

"Brother Tang, come help us! We can give you forty percent of the materials from this Ghost Crocodile," Liu Yi pleaded with the elegant young man.

"Yes, Brother Tang, give us a hand!" the other man and woman chimed in hastily.

"I’m afraid I’m powerless to help." The elegant man looked helpless, then said, "The reason we were able to kill that Ghost Crocodile so quickly is all thanks to Luo Tian’s incredible contribution."

’What? They really killed that Ghost Crocodile at the Sixth Layer of Spirit Sea Realm?’

’And the one who played the crucial role wasn’t the elegant young man, but Luo Tian!’

Liu Yi and the others found this hard to accept.

If what the elegant young man said was true, then they had to ask Luo Tian for help.

Whether to ask for help or not was a difficult dilemma.

’If we keep dragging this out, it’ll be extremely bad for us!’

The light in Liu Yi’s eyes dimmed, his expression ugly.

Both of his teammates were injured. If this dragged on, their lives would be in danger.

Once his two teammates were dead, Liu Yi would be next.

ROAR!

The Ghost Crocodile suddenly shot out from the mire at their feet, its bloody maw wide open as it lunged for the woman with the severed arm.

"Ah!"

The female disciple fought back with all her might. She swung her sword with her left hand, but since she wasn’t used to it, the power of her Swordsmanship was reduced by forty percent.

With her strength at the Peak of Spirit Sea Realm Fifth Layer, and using her left-handed Swordsmanship, she couldn’t harm the Ghost Crocodile in the slightest!

"Get lost!"

Liu Yi roared furiously, blasting out a scorching Palm Force like a blazing sun.

SPLAT!

The palm strike hit the Ghost Crocodile, which let out a pained shriek.

The Ghost Crocodile quickly vanished into the darkness.

THUD!

The female disciple collapsed to the ground.

Her head was gone, bitten off by the Ghost Crocodile.

Liu Yi’s heart trembled. One of his teammates had fallen!

"Luo Tian, give us a hand."

Liu Yi gritted his teeth, having finally made his decision.

"Sigh. You just had to wait until a teammate died to ask for my help."

Luo Tian sighed, preparing to step in.

But just then.

The Ghost Crocodile in his Spiritual Sense’s perception suddenly began to tremble, showing signs of panic and terror, and then it fled.

"Luo Tian, where is that Ghost Crocodile? I’m going to tear it to pieces!" Liu Yi yelled, his True Qi boiling within him.

"It ran away!" Luo Tian told the truth.

"Ran away? Are you kidding me?!" Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, then he berated him angrily.

’He really suspected that Luo Tian was messing with him on purpose!’

’Making me beg him so humbly, only to use the excuse that the Ghost Crocodile ran away and still refuse to help.’

SWOOSH!

Luo Tian suddenly leaped up and retreated backward.

’Even the Ghost Crocodile felt fear and fled. Something dangerous must be approaching.’ So Luo Tian immediately retreated as well.

"Luo Tian, don’t you run! Damn you!"

Liu Yi was furious and flustered.

He had wasted so much energy and lost a teammate, only to gain nothing in return.

Liu Yi was extremely unwilling to accept this!

"Brother Liu, I think Luo Tian sensed something and retreated. We should retreat too," the elegant young man said.

"Get lost! You’re definitely in league with that kid! You’ve been speaking up for him this whole time, and you even helped him with the Ghost Crocodile!"

Liu Yi glared at the elegant young man with displeasure and roared in fury.

He even felt the urge to attack and teach the elegant young man a lesson!

The elegant young man didn’t say anything more and retreated first.

Just then.

RUMBLE!

The ground began to tremble, and a dense aura of Demon Evil swept over them!

"What’s going on?"

Liu Yi suddenly felt a sense of unease.

As the tremors grew stronger, he retreated without another word, along with the other Lower Sect Disciple.

After leaving the canyon, Liu Yi leaped to a high point and gazed into the distance.

Instantly, his face turned deathly pale, and fear filled his eyes.

In the distance, on the ground and in the sky, a tide of fifty to sixty Demon Beasts was surging toward them.

Most of these Demon Beasts were Low Tier Spirit Level, but there were also Middle Tier Demon Beasts, and even five or six High Tier Demon Beasts.

A Spirit Level High Tier Demon Beast was equivalent to a human cultivator at the Spirit Sea Realm Seventh Layer or above.

A single High Tier Demon Beast was enough to slaughter all of them, to say nothing of such a terrifying lineup!

"Run!"

Liu Yi shouted in a panic, transforming into a dark red afterimage as he fled.

Now he finally understood that Luo Tian might have been telling the truth when he said the Ghost Crocodile had fled.

"Damn that Luo Tian! He fled by himself without even telling us!"

Liu Yi’s heart was filled with resentment.

No one noticed.

At the very front of this horde of Demon Beasts were a black Crow and a man wearing a fox mask.

"You bastard Crow! If you want to die, don’t drag me down with you!" the masked man cursed.

He was none other than the infamous assassin, "Black Fox."

He had originally planned to capture the Crow and force it to reveal Luo Tian’s whereabouts.

But this Crow was incredibly bizarre. Its evasive abilities were astonishing, causing his attacks to miss several times.

What’s more, the Crow sang as it fled. Terrifyingly, its singing attracted all the nearby Demon Beasts, who began to chase it down—and the masked man got caught up in it too.

As a top-tier assassin, the masked man calmed down and immediately figured it out.

’Just now, the crow’s song had filled me with intense hatred, causing me to lose my reason and chase after it!’

This Crow’s song actually possessed such a strange Magic Power that it could make everyone who heard it feel hatred toward it.

’What kind of screwed-up ability is this?’

Yet it was precisely this screwed-up ability that had put the masked man in such a miserable state, forcing him to flee for his life.

"Hmph! Serves you right for trying to kill this god, you ugly freak!"

"The moment this god sings, countless little brothers come to hunt you down! Scared yet? Let’s see if you still dare to chase this god!" the Crow said with a look of pure arrogance.

"..."

The masked man was utterly speechless.

’You’re being hunted down too, you know?’ He had never seen such a narcissistic, shameless Crow in his life.
