Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 413 - 257: Lu Qingling’s Shock! Contracted Mount, Inner Core Realm Demon Beast, Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile!
The ridicule was like a cat toying with a mouse, as the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile’s words fell, its whole body radiated an overwhelming aura, pressing straight toward Jiang Shu and Lu Qingling.
An Inner Core Realm Demon Beast, equivalent to a Primordial Pill Realm True Man—let alone two measly Furnace Fire Realm cultivators, even if there were ten times as many, it could still crush them with ease.
However, to the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile’s utter astonishment, inside the Great Hall, neither Lu Qingling nor Jiang Shu showed the slightest hint of fear on their faces.
"Leaving?"
Lu Qingling’s voice had regained its former cold clarity. *If the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile had been a peak Inner Core Realm Demon Beast,* she might have felt apprehensive, worrying that even with the Great Teleportation Talisman, she might not escape its pursuit.*
But, according to what she knew, Master Xuan Shui’s realm was middle-stage Primordial Pill Realm, so the contracted demon beast couldn’t possibly be that powerful.
The Great Teleportation Talisman would be enough to get her and Brother Jiang out of this perilous place.
The only problem was, once the Great Teleportation Talisman was activated, she and Brother Jiang would be sent to two different places; they could only reunite at the sect.
In the Endless Sea, she possessed a treasure ship, and as long as she was careful, she could basically return safely.
As for Brother Jiang, he might have to fight his way through a bloody trial first.
*That was the reason she had asked Jiang Shu—after all, if by chance Master Xuan Shui had left some means within the inheritance to subdue the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile, maybe they both wouldn’t need to use the Great Teleportation Talisman.*
"Let’s try—it might not be necessary."
Clearly picking up on the meaning in Lu Qingling’s words, Jiang Shu stepped forward, his surging spiritual power sweeping away the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile’s oppressive aura.
Spiritual cultivation emphasized the spirit, emphasized vitality.
After reaching the Mixed Element Breath, Jiang Shu’s brain development and cellular enhancement meant that in terms of spirit and physique, he even surpassed most Primordial Pill Realm cultivators.
Upon entering the Heavenly Rank Technique, "Azure Sky and Blue Sea Technique," his control over primordial power improved severalfold as well.
The only thing he truly lacked was the unity of divine power and self, the condensing of a Primordial Pill—he was missing a key means of both attack and self-preservation.
"Ants, you have angered me."
The Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile opened its huge mouth. Though it didn’t know what kind of silent understanding these two bastards thought they shared, it clearly understood that both believed they could leave here at their leisure—man or woman.
*They really didn’t take the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile seriously!*
*This was an insult!*
*The insult of junior Furnace Fire Realm cultivators!*
"I’ve changed my mind, I’ll let you two choose who dies first. Whoever chooses to die first, the other gets to escape."
"Inheritance? Even without the old man’s inheritance, I am still an Inner Core Realm Demon Beast, and in the Endless Sea, I still have a chance to evolve into a Transformed Demon!"
Behind it, from the spirit pond, a vast tide of yuan qi swept over, gathering upon the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile, its gaze vicious, countless clouds of water swirling around it.
"You want one of us to die first?"
"Heh, when I give you respect, I call you Senior Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile."
Facing the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile, which had unleashed its terrifying power so completely even Lu Qingling’s expression had changed, Jiang Shu let out a cold laugh, "When I don’t, you—a half-breed alligator—dare call yourself ’me’ in front of me?"
"You’ve followed Master Xuan Shui for so many years, but I bet even you don’t know—Master Xuan Shui actually never died, did he?"
"You thought, it was his inheritance he left me here in the Inheritance Land?"
"No, he tried to seize my body, and I killed him instead."
"If I killed even a middle-stage Primordial Pill Realm True Man, you think I can’t kill you?"
With every word and step, the aura around Jiang Shu fully matched the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile’s crushing pressure. The yuan qi sweeping toward him formed clouds overhead, and as he moved his palms, heaven and earth primordial qi arced into lightning, gathering between his hands.
Divine Skill, Five Thunders Great Handprint!
Lightning crackled violently as Jiang Shu struck with a palm, standing in the air and brimming with momentum.
"Hahahaha! Ant—how arrogant! Did you really think spewing some lies would frighten me?"
Listening to Jiang Shu, the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile burst into raucous laughter. Master Xuan Shui, even at Primordial Pill Realm, was hardly a formidable presence in that realm.
But Primordial Pill Realm was still Primordial Pill Realm.
If he had really set his mind to it and wanted to seize the body of a mere Furnace Fire Realm whelp, how could he possibly fail?
But before it could even finish its words, a mass of clouds overhead gathered, and a giant thunderous hand, brimming with overwhelming fury, crashed down.
"Bang!"
Lightning flashed, and on the snow-white twin wings, a deep handprint was left behind.
The feathers were charred black, and an acrid smell of burnt flesh wafted up.
"Boy, you’re asking for death!"
The laughter stopped at once as a black-and-white shadow shot out from in front of the spirit pond.
The Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile’s body swelled almost tenfold, blotting out the sky as it lunged ferociously toward Jiang Shu.
From its gaping mouth wafted noxious fumes of poisonous miasma, flooding the Great Hall.
An Inner Core Realm Demon Beast—in terms of strength and physicality—utterly overwhelmed an ordinary Primordial Pill Realm True Man.
If not for the protection of a treasure, even a Primordial Pill Realm True Man would have been forced to retreat.
But Jiang Shu didn’t give an inch. Under Lu Qingling’s incredulous gaze, his left hand balled into a fist, as if splitting heaven and earth apart.
This was the Divine Skill, Heavenly Intent True Self Body.
His right hand formed a seal, and although endless waves of poison miasma surged like raging currents, before Jiang Shu’s hand technique, all of them skirted around him, as though all attacks were useless.
This was the Earth Rank Divine Skill, Myriad Streams Void Bodyguard Seal!
In the midst of ten thousand poisonous miasmas, Jiang Shu’s momentum did not diminish. All the primordial power in his body roared, *his surging spiritual power, with every breath from his Holy Embryo, blazing the True Fire relentlessly within him.*
