Almighty Genius

Chapter 2524 - 2018: Toying and Entrapping!

First update, requesting subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~~...

This time, it wasn't Qin Fang who acted, but the puppet person who had long since lain in ambush there...

The puppet person had no semblance of life force, and its body was slightly dark in color, making it easy to overlook in this night...

Though the crocogator couldn't be considered a crocodile in the full sense of the word, it had crocodile bloodline, and crocodiles are colorblind... On such nights, it could sense the fluctuations of life force, but beings like the puppet person were invisible to it.

Thus, Qin Fang utilized a powerful attack to draw the crocogator's full attention, providing an opportunity for the puppet person to strike!

The crocogator is a spirit beast king, equivalent to a human Supreme Expert, with bodily defenses at the same level... However, the puppet person's black spike was not an ordinary weapon. Though slender, it pierced through the crocogator's skin, viciously stabbing into its body.

And then... began sucking blood!

Back when Qin Fang first encountered the puppet person, he almost got drained into a dry corpse.

But this time, the puppet target wasn't Qin Fang, it was this crocogator...

"Roar~~~"

The loss of blood, combined with the pain from the wound, instantly rendered the crocogator extremely frenzied... Even now, it couldn't see where the puppet person was, but the pain told it that the puppet person was there.

Breathe~~~

This time, it didn't ram with its head as it did with Qin Fang, but swung its thick and strong tail fiercely toward the puppet person... Although the tail wasn't as strong as a dragon's, its power was nonetheless terrifying, and even a puppet person, capable of withstanding a Supreme Expert's heavy strike, wouldn't dare underestimate its strength!

Crack crack crack~~~

With a series of strange sounds, the puppet person exhibited an agility completely incongruous with its body, quickly retreating from the crocogator's side and disappearing into the nearby forest... With the cover of the dark surroundings, it vanished completely!

Not entirely vanished, at least Qin Fang could see the puppet person's position, but the colorblind crocogator couldn't!

Rumble~~~

The crocogator's tail viciously struck where the puppet person had been standing, the force even more violent than the previous headbutt... The stones on the ground there were turned into powder, thoroughly pulverized by the power of the tail.

Yet, no matter how explosive the power, if it doesn't hit the target, it's all for naught!

"Roar roar roar~~~"

The crocogator seemed to realize this, growing all the more berserk, its aura continuously emanating...

"Water system powers?"

Qin Fang immediately sensed something different around him, a very sinister force seemed to swirl in the air, causing shivers... He soon understood that this was the special ability of the crocogator, a spirit beast king.

When human martial artists ascend to the Supreme Realm, they can master the Gangqi Territory... Within a certain territory, a Supreme has terrifying power.

Though spirit beasts can't do it like humans, they have their own powers...

The crocogator is a mix of crocodile and flood dragon, both water-dwelling exotic beasts, so its powers are water-based.

But...

"Idiot... Don't you know dragons are the true water system divine beasts?"

Originally, Qin Fang was worried about getting caught, but once he confirmed that the crocogator was using water powers, he couldn't help but curse... At the same time, he immediately summoned Little Dragon to solve the current problem.

Little Dragon suffered at the hands of the crocogator before, simply because being of the same water system, Little Dragon's powers were ineffective, and it could only rely on its juvenile body to withstand the crocogator's matured, peak physique!

Now this foolish crocogator attempted to use water powers against Qin Fang, comparable to showing off one's ax in front of an expert...

"Roar~~~"

With a light sound, Little Dragon's spirit moved, and a strange force immediately bound the crocogator's water power, making Qin Fang sense the disappearance of the sinister force... the threat was instantly lifted.

This left the crocogator momentarily dumbfounded... realizing at last that Little Dragon, which had escaped from its grasp, was still lurking around.

Just as Qin Fang said, dragons are the mightiest water divine beasts. Though Little Dragon is still in its juvenile phase, its mastery of water powers wasn't at all weaker than that of this spirit beast king, perhaps even stronger.

Qin Fang's requirements weren't high, just to neutralize the water power threat, not asking Little Dragon to counterattack, it was naturally resolved effortlessly.

And at this moment, Qin Fang and the puppet person almost simultaneously charged forward, ferociously launching another assault on the crocogator...

The puppet person still used the black spike, viciously stabbing into the crocogator's body, frantically siphoning its essence blood...

The Flowing Shadow Divine Sword was still lodged within the crocogator, Qin Fang hadn't had a chance to retrieve it, so this time he wielded another treasured sword... it was the Blood Drinking Sword obtained from the Xu Family Forbidden Grounds, a bloodthirsty blade.

The Blood Drinking Sword is no less powerful than the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword, and in certain aspects, it might even be stronger...

At the very least, wielding the Blood Drinking Sword causes Qin Fang's Annihilation Sword Intent to surge by thirty percent compared to usual... Despite the terrifying murderous intent emanating from the Blood Drinking Sword making Qin Fang somewhat uncomfortable, fortunately, he doesn't intend to use it for long.

Swoosh~~~

Still combining the Divine Sword, Annihilation Sword Intent, along with the Primordial Qi Force, and Qin Fang's ferocious strength... the Blood Drinking Sword, much like the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword, pierced through the crocogator's body, stabbing deep inside!

"Roar~~~"

The crocogator howled in agony, its body trembling violently, with its crocodile head and flood dragon tail frantically beating at Qin Fang and the puppet person... It has now gone entirely berserk, wanting only to kill Qin Fang and the puppet person.

However, after delivering a successful strike, Qin Fang didn't pause for a moment. With a display of Traceless Snow Stepping Technique, he swiftly exited the battle zone, appearing seven or eight meters away, while the Blood Drinking Sword remained inside the crocogator's body, same as the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword.

"Roar roar roar~~"

The crocogator grew even more frenzied, its body wracked with intense pain, causing its condition to worsen considerably...

The Flowing Shadow Divine Sword wasn't too bad, merely causing its body to bleed and injure, but the Blood Drinking Sword that was just inserted within it behaved like the Black Thorn of the puppet person, spontaneously absorbing its blood!

The puppet person, having also struck successfully, swiftly retreated... The Black Thorn acted like a liquid robot, not only contracting and expanding at will but also stretching infinitely, even as it retreated, continuing to absorb the crocogator's blood.

Qin Fang and the puppet person launched another successful attack... inflicting significant damage on the crocogator.

Though it was far from threatening the crocogator's life, it certainly dealt an effective blow to its arrogance...

Little Dragon hovered in the sky, constantly on guard against the crocogator's counterattack... Should the Water System Divine Ability be fully unleashed, its destructive power would be extremely terrifying, far beyond what Qin Fang at this stage could withstand, even with the Body-Protecting Primordial Gang.

However...

Is Qin Fang's ultimate trump card really just this?

Apparently not!

The crocogator was battling fiercely with Qin Fang, seemingly forgetting about another hidden enemy, one who eerily vanished.

Indeed, the Divine Silkworm disappeared! It vanished strangely...

Even amidst the intense combat between Qin Fang and the crocogator, it never showed itself...

Did it take advantage of the opportunity to slip away?

Certainly not!

"Roar~~~"

At this moment, the enormous eyes of the crocogator suddenly revealed a look of terror, clearly realizing something as it viciously beat its body, with blood from its wounds spurting outward intensely...

Thud thud thud~~~

Such fierce pounding made the entire ground rumble, as if an earthquake, causing the crocogator's injuries to worsen, while the Flowing Shadow and Blood Drinking Divine Swords were forcibly flung out.

Moreover, the crocogator let out deafening screams, and its massive body suddenly began to roll violently... Its enormous body rolled, crushing whatever trees were in its path.

"A beast is just a beast... Even at Spirit Beast King Level, its intelligence remains embarrassingly low!"

Qin Fang couldn't help but complain.

In truth, spiritual beasts aren't lacking in intelligence, only slightly below normal humans, and when reaching Spirit Beast King Level, their wisdom matches that of humans... In specific cases, certain races could be even more intelligent than ordinary people.

Of course, the crocogator clearly doesn't belong to those special races; its intellect isn't low, otherwise it wouldn't have outwitted the Divine Silkworm... But it's roughly on par with average humans.

Regrettably, while its intellect may be comparable, its ability to respond to human tactics falls significantly short.

Now, under Qin Fang's maneuvering, it's being played smoothly...

The transformation in the crocogator was entirely due to having fallen for Qin Fang's trap...

When it was first pierced by Qin Fang's Flowing Shadow Divine Sword, the Divine Silkworm hidden nearby rapidly burrowed into the wound... The reason the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword was left there was merely to provide the Divine Silkworm a pathway into the crocogator's body.

If he truly wanted, Qin Fang could easily retrieve the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword by extending his wrist.

But he didn't do so, deliberately leaving it there… all to divert the crocogator's attention.

The same goes for the Blood Drinking Sword… aside from its ability to absorb the crocogator's blood, it's also meant to distract the crocogator from noticing the activities of the Divine Silkworm inside its body.

Now, the crocogator finally realized...

Because, the Divine Silkworm had already moved inside its body to its inner core location... Besides, the Divine Silkworm was fiercely absorbing the crocogator's inner core energy, making full use of its strength, certainly not holding back!
