The small black sword and Yuan Hao's three-pointed double-sided saber whistled as they flew towards the two balls of corpsefire. The flying sword and the three-pointed double-sided saber trembled as if they were drunk and swayed uncontrollably in the air.
Lu Xiaotian's face was filled with shock. He had encountered a similar situation in the hands of the Evil Spirit Valley cultivators. Fortunately, he had more than one or two magic tools on him. However, the effects of the small green bead didn't seem to be as immediate as the corpsefire. He didn't know if the green bead was related to the green corpsefire in front of him. Could it be that the Evil Spirit Valley cultivators also used this to refine corpsefire?
When the Carrion Lion Crocodile Demon saw that Lu Xiaotian and Yuan Hao were at a disadvantage, it actually let out a coarse chuckle. It was rather pleased with itself as it controlled the two balls of corpsefire to approach the two.
It was rather troublesome, but just this ball of corpsefire alone wasn't enough to deal with him. Lu Xiaotian snorted coldly and pointed his finger at the flying Earth-shattering Blade. The Earth Splitter's body trembled and a sharp sword Qi that was enough to break through metal and stone suddenly struck the green corpsefire.
When the green corpsefire was struck by the sword Qi, a third of it was immediately extinguished. Lu Xiaotian clenched his teeth and the Earth Splitter once again shot out two more sword Qi. Kacha! Apart from the magic power in his body being drained by half, the mid-grade spirit stone in his hand also turned to dust. In such a perilous situation, any small factor could be fatal. Lu Xiaotian didn't have the time to feel heartache. He took out another mid-grade spirit stone and poured a drop of Cold Marrow Dew into his mouth. The magic power in his body quickly filled up. Cold Marrow Dew was useless to Foundation Establishment cultivators. It was better to use it. Lu Xiaotian could only console himself like this.
On the other side, Yuan Hao also used a similar method to activate the Scorching Sun Sword, shooting out three flaming sword Qi that collided with the green corpse fire. The two different types of flames made sizzling sounds as they clashed, and the two types of flames quickly melted like snow under the sun.
On the other side, Oh Yeon had already successfully leaped onto the pile of rocks. She glanced at Yuan Hao and Lu Xiaotian who were locked in battle with the Carrion Lion Crocodile Demon Beast. The incomparably intense battle caused her heart to palpitate. The slightest carelessness would cause her to be seriously injured, or even die on the spot.
It was better to collect these Purple Radish Ginseng as soon as possible and leave this swamp as soon as possible. Su Qing, who was originally preparing to kill the other Demonic Beasts, saw the Carrion Lion Crocodile Demon appear and the other Demonic Beasts flee one after another. She temporarily had nothing to do. She then looked at Lu Xiaotian's side and saw that his ordinary magic tools were actually unable to harm the Carrion Lion Crocodile Demon. Even if she went up, she probably wouldn't be able to help much. It was best to collect the Purple Radish Ginseng as soon as possible.
Among the piles of rocks, there were twenty-seven of them. Some of them were hidden between the cracks of the rocks, so they couldn't be seen from afar.
"Hua!" When the Carrion Lion Crocodile Demon Beast saw that the Purple Radish Ginseng had actually been collected, it immediately became angry and anxious. Its huge body leaped into the air and leaped towards Oh Yeon and Su Qing.
"Let's go!" Lu Xiaotian shook his hand, and the Demon Binding Rope coiled around the Carrion Lion Crocodile Demon Beast like a snake, pulling it into the swamp.
Wu Yan and Su Qing were shocked at first, but then they quickly reacted. With a few leaps, they leaped more than twenty feet away after borrowing the strength of a few slightly rich aquatic plants.
Seeing that the two of them had escaped, Lu Xiaotian didn't wait for the Carrion Lion Crocodile Demon Beast to struggle and promptly retracted the Demon Binding Rope. This beast was too powerful. If it destroyed the Demon Binding Rope, then the losses would outweigh the gains.
Although three of his magic tools were destroyed in order to numb Dugu Han's attention, he still managed to kill Dugu Han and the other two people. Two of them were given to Su Qing. The number of his magic tools didn't decrease, but instead increased. However, the curved blade, Blue Mantis, and Blue Hook were somewhat similar. Sometimes, the Demon Binding Rope's use couldn't be replaced by other magic tools, just like the previous attack.
After falling back into the swamp, the Carrion Lion Crocodile Demon Beast became even more ferocious. When it saw Oh Yeon and Su Qing borrow the strength of the scattered grass in the swamp to advance, its two fist-sized protruding eyes flashed with an ominous glint. With a swing of its iron tail, it quickly knocked away the Fierce Sun Sword and lowered its head to dive into the swamp. Under the cover of the muddy water and silt, he quickly rushed towards Su Qing who was closer. Along the way, it also destroyed a few patches of grass.
Lu Xiaotian hastily followed closely behind. Although the grass had been destroyed, he was currently only controlling the Earth Splitting Blade. He could use magic techniques as he pleased. After using a few Frost Techniques, the muddy water below quickly froze into ice cubes at a speed visible to the naked eye. This kind of ice couldn't be maintained for too long like the grass. It could only be maintained for a very short period of time. If it was maintained for too long, it would still sink into the swamp.
Yuan Hao originally wanted to use magic techniques like Lu Xiaotian and then borrow strength to leave. However, after using it a few times, he discovered that after using the Frost Technique, his magic power had completely spread out. A thin layer of ice had formed on the surface of the swamp. It wasn't concentrated in a small area. He simply couldn't borrow strength. At this moment, he realized that it wasn't easy for Lu Xiaotian to use this kind of beginner level magic technique well. His control of magic power had reached an extremely strict level.
Yuan Hao's innate talent had been outstanding since he was a child. His talent in cultivating the fire element could be said to be a genius seen only once every several hundred years. His cultivation speed was very fast. Moreover, his understanding of the fire element battle techniques was even more extraordinary. He had obtained the Fierce Sun Sword very early on. Naturally, he wasn't like Lu Xiaotian who was forced into the Blackwater Stronghold's mine by Qian Dali. After cultivating for more than six years, he simply couldn't practice any powerful battle techniques. He could only rely on the consumption of spirit stones in the mine to practice magic techniques. At that time, Lu Xiaotian didn't expect that he would have such opportunities later on. He could only hope to improve his magic techniques and obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill as a reward in the sect's small competition. Therefore, he had attainments in magic techniques that other cultivators couldn't reach.
Many cultivators who entered the bloody forbidden area had prepared a large number of spirit talismans. However, the Frost Technique didn't have much destructive power and also didn't have much defensive power. Almost no talisman master would draw this kind of spirit talisman that couldn't be sold. However, it was precisely this kind of elementary magic technique that everyone looked down on that played an irreplaceable role at this time.
However, Yuan Hao also quickly reacted. Lu Xiaotian leapt up a few times. Before the ice in the swamp disappeared, he used the ice left behind by Lu Xiaotian to follow closely behind Lu Xiaotian.
The Carrion Lion Crocodile Demon's robust and powerful tail lashed out. Su Qing was so frightened that her face paled. She hastily took out her golden bell magic tool. The bell-shaped Qi barrier barely blocked the ferocious attack that was several times stronger than the magic tool's power. However, Su Qing's entire body was sent flying several tens of meters away. It was like a large club hitting a small ball. Fortunately, Lu Xiaotian arrived in time. He used a few Frost Techniques to help Su Qing land on the ground a few times. She didn't suffer any injuries. She brandished her sword and killed two spider demons that leapt over. Then, she continued to quickly leave the swamp.
The Carrion Lion Crocodile Demon was both angry and anxious. It didn't think that its sure-kill attack would be blocked by this seemingly weak human. Moreover, it didn't suffer any injuries. It was unwilling to let these humans leave just like that. Su Qing was sent flying away by the tail. The angry Carrion Lion Crocodile Demon continued to attack the nearby Oh Yeon.
Oh Yeon was so frightened that her beautiful face turned pale. She desperately ran forward. She didn't have an abnormal defensive magic tool like Su Qing. If the Carrion Lion Crocodile Demon were to attack her, it would be a miracle if she died with an intact corpse.
"Brother Yuan, let's hold this beast back. Don't try to protect yourself. Otherwise, I'm afraid things won't go as planned." Lu Xiaotian suddenly shouted at Yuan Hao, who was about to escape to the shore. If he was in a situation where he couldn't protect himself, he would also choose to escape. However, at this time, he could still fight. If he could help Oh Yeon, he wouldn't sit idly by. Although Lu Xiaotian was decisive in killing, he wasn't a cold-hearted person who would leave someone in the lurch. Of course, with his own strength, he was still a bit lacking. With Yuan Hao's strength, he could give it a try.
"How could I?" Yuan Hao forced a smile. He didn't think that Lu Xiaotian would be so concerned about him. He had only revealed a hint of his intentions, but Lu Xiaotian was already aware of his intentions. However, since Lu Xiaotian had said so, Yuan Hao didn't dare to give up and leave. He didn't have Lu Xiaotian's magical techniques. If he didn't care about Oh Yeon's life and Lu Xiaotian decided to do something bad, he would be helpless in this swamp. There was an eighty to ninety percent chance that he would die here. Based on the strength Lu Xiaotian had revealed, even if he went ashore, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
Lu Xiaotian poured two more drops of Cold Marrow Dew into his mouth. Then, with a loud shout, the Earth Splitter hovered in the air. Under the infusion of a large amount of magic power, it was like a small golden sun, radiating light in all directions, making people unable to look directly at it. The crisscrossing sword essence made the disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect and the Divine Firmament Palace on the bank of the swamp two hundred feet away look at each other in amazement.
Yuan Hao naturally understood the principle of striking while the iron was hot. Lu Xiaotian's attack almost drained all of his magic power. In such a dangerous place like the swamp, even if he killed the Carrion Lion Demon Crocodile in front of him, it wouldn't take long for other demonic beasts to attack. He had a few elixirs that could quickly restore his magic power, but he had already used one. He only had two left. There was still some time before he left the Forbidden Blood-colored Place, so he had to have a backup plan.
However, the elixir that Lu Xiaotian had taken several times was definitely not ordinary. However, he was a disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect. It wasn't worth it to use all of his strength for a disciple of the Divine Firmament Palace. Of course, since Lu Xiaotian had spoken, he had to put in some effort. Yuan Hao gritted his teeth. The Sun Sword also transformed into a Sword Qi that was ten feet tall and full of burning flames. It loudly slashed towards the Carrion Lion Demon Crocodile.
The astonishing Sword Qi made Su Qing and Oh Yeon turn their heads at the same time. They saw Lu Xiaotian and Yuan Hao's reactions. In order to stall the Carrion Lion Demon Crocodile and create an opportunity for them to escape, Lu Xiaotian had almost used all of his strength. On the other hand, although Yuan Hao had also used some strength, he had only acted under Lu Xiaotian's coercion.
Seeing Lu Xiaotian's face suddenly turn pale because of the excessive consumption of magic power, Su Qing and Oh Yeon both gritted their teeth at the same time.
"Damned Yuan Hao, he is really cunning. If anything happens to Lu Xiaotian, even if he comes ashore, we will definitely teach him a lesson." Su Qing directly cursed in a low voice.
The Carrion Lion Demon Crocodile felt an unprecedented threat floating in the air. Its body trembled and it temporarily gave up on chasing Oh Yeon. It stood up from the mud, but the soft mud couldn't support its heavy body. Only a small part of its body was exposed. The Carrion Lion Demon Crocodile roared and spat out a huge green Yao Dan. It collided with the huge golden Sword Qi. At the same time, it swung its tail and swung it towards Yuan Hao's Sun Sword Qi.
Boom! Two different-sized explosions blasted away the mud within a radius of several hundred feet. The Carrion Lion Demon Crocodile let out a blood-curdling scream and swallowed back the weakened green Yao Dan. Its huge body was also blasted back nearly 30 meters.
Lu Xiaotian's small body was much smaller than the Carrion Lion Demon Crocodile's. He flew back over 30 meters and spat out several mouthfuls of blood. Lu Xiaotian was so depressed that he wanted to die. He just wanted to help Wu Yan, but he didn't expect that he would almost lose his life in the process. He didn't think that a magic tool would have such great power when activated to the extreme. Of course, this was also related to the Earth Splitter's sharpness.
Fortunately, the Cold Marrow Dew he swallowed had already dissolved in his body. His originally dried up meridians were once again filled with magic power. Otherwise, when his magic power was exhausted, his body would only be a bit stronger than a normal person's. However, in this swamp, having a stronger body was useless. Even if the Demonic Beasts didn't eat him, it wouldn't be long before he would drown in the mud and die of suffocation.
His body was sent flying over 30 meters by the huge shockwave. Using his magic power, he felt a faint pain in his internal organs. Perhaps the only benefit of being sent flying was that he had saved a few dozen meters of walking. Of course, the process wasn't as easy as it seemed. After all, it was passive. Before he landed, Lu Xiaotian popped a few pills into his mouth. Fortunately, he didn't have any problems using magic techniques. After being blasted back in the air, he didn't even have time to adjust his posture. After freezing the mud on his body, Lu Xiaotian pushed his palms up and jumped up.
At this time, Su Qing, Oh Yeon, and the others had already hurriedly returned to the shore. They were all dumbstruck by the huge explosion. Seeing Lu Xiaotian fly back while spitting out blood and about to fall into the mud, their hearts were in their throats. Fortunately, Lu Xiaotian was fine. He could still use magic techniques. He only borrowed some force and returned to normal.
On the other hand, Yuan Hao was also caught in the crossfire. He was dizzy from the huge shockwave. After clashing with the Carrion Lion Crocodile Demon, a trace of blood leaked out from the corner of his mouth. However, compared to Lu Xiaotian's situation, it was slightly better.
The Carrion Lion Crocodile Demon fell into the mud and splashed up a large amount of mud. At this time, it was also in a very sorry state. Its tail had clashed with the Fierce Sun Sword, creating a large wound. However, this kind of external injury wasn't particularly serious. After all, Yuan Hao hadn't used his full strength. The real problem was that Yao Dan had suffered Lu Xiaotian's full strength attack. After all, the Carrion Lion Crocodile Demon wasn't a Fourth Rank Demonic Beast.
