CHAPTER 557: Fuel Prices Surge!
“Boom, boom, boom!”
At this moment, another thunderous roar echoed from the other side.
A third-stage mid-level Crimson Blood Crocodile, despite its stronger strength, struggled to resist but was still defeated in one clash.
In just one confrontation, it was left covered in black and bloodied flesh, having sustained serious injuries.
Purple lightning and black sword energy struck it, causing its long tail, which resembled a black whip, to fly back weakly.
It was directly blown backwards, its wounds deep enough to see the bone beneath.
The Black Shark Sword and the Purple Twilight Soul Severing Halberd were both pure offensive magical treasures, activated by the two at the Golden Core Mid Stage. Due to the urgency of the situation, they didn’t dare hold back.
Especially the “Black Shark Sword,” which was urged by High Sword Cold with a sword intent level that greatly enhanced its killing power.
“Roar, roar!”
The Crimson Blood Crocodile roared in anger, attempting to burrow into the swamp to escape, but waves of lightning descended, paralyzing its body and slowing its movements.
With no other choice, it could only confront its assailants head-on.
However, under the simultaneous attack of two cultivators of the same level, it was utterly powerless to fight back, retreating step by step, on the verge of losing its life!
Liu Yu observed the battle on the other side without changing his expression. With his hands forming a gesture, he again controlled the Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear, aiming at the third-stage initial-level Crimson Blood Crocodile.
This time, he did not activate the spear's brightness.
Against a tough-skinned and fleshy demon cultivator, the spear’s light was of limited lethality and far less effective than attacking directly with the magical treasure itself.
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
Under Liu Yu's control, the Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear shot forward like a golden lightning bolt, crossing several tens of feet in an instant toward the target.
The spear tip glittered coldly, a faint golden color under the spiritual light, while dark red patterns on the spear body lit up one by one.
The killing power carried by it was enough to move any third-stage initial creature.
The spear pierced through the clouds, its strike was an absolute kill!
In this strike, Liu Yu secretly increased his magical power output, making its might even greater than before.
“Roar~!”
Having evolved through survival of the fittest, the keen instincts of the demonic beast made the Crimson Blood Crocodile instantly sense the impending danger, causing its body to tense involuntarily.
Its tail whipped like a black whip, and with its body rising instinctively, its two long-clawed hands prepared to react.
But at that moment, a strange ringing sound echoed once again!
In the next moment, the Crimson Blood Crocodile felt its demonic power sluggishly flowing, shock etched across its face as its movements slowed.
By the time it realized what was happening, the intense golden light was already close at hand.
With no other choice, it hurriedly gathered its strength, crossing its two claws in front of its head and dantian to protect these vital areas.
The Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear showed no signs of stopping, striking its claws that were guarding its head.
“Clang!”
“Shhh!”
The clash of golden light and black light resonated with a sound akin to metal against metal, showing that the Crimson Blood Crocodile's skin had minimal defense.
Even in the third-stage initial level, its defense was likely not much inferior to that of a magical treasure.
But unfortunately, the Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear was inscribed with attack runes that included "Armor Break," "Sharpness," "Explosive," and so on.
In a moment of stalemate, the sound of the weapon piercing flesh rang out.
“Pfft!”
Dark red blood splattered everywhere, and from others' perspectives, the golden spear had pierced entirely through its claw.
After the radiant spiritual light faded, it left behind a blood hole the size of an adult's head.
