Chapter 2957: Chapter Sixty: Overlord Lan Jue

The cursed people and the crocodile horde fought in chaos behind him, sewage splashing everywhere with continuous booming, among whom Amu was the most ferocious, riding on the back of a giant crocodile, swinging the dragon-heart axe in his hand down again and again, splashing blood and flesh everywhere.

Not far away, gray death flames rose, Amangsu holding a Western sword in one hand, a giant crocodile engulfed in death flames rolling in the water, burned into constant howling.

The advantage was not small, but one could not be careless; just moments ago, a cursed person had his arm bitten off by a crocodile, the severed arm of that cursed person sprouting mushrooms wildly, and in no time it turned into a large mushroom, then exploded into a vast cloud of spores spreading outward, causing many cursed people to grow mushrooms on their bodies.

The cursed people's resistance to supernatural fungi was not particularly strong; although they had curse power within them, cursed people themselves existed between life and death, dead matter being more easily eroded by fungi, and furthermore, the supernatural energy here came from the Demon Sea, sharing the same source as curse power, so it would not be restrained.

After confirming the situation of the battle behind him, Su Xiao redirected his focus to the giant crocodile leader ahead.

Ripples layered upon the turbid water beneath the giant crocodile leader; besides coldness, its eyes held greed, it possessed a devouring ability—by devouring Su Xiao, it could grow stronger.

Su Xiao estimated that in a one-on-one fight against this eighth-tier overlord-like creature, his chances of victory were at most thirty percent; if he returned to the Reincarnation Paradise this time and converted the obtained resources into strength, his chances would increase significantly.

Boom!

The giant crocodile leader charged out; though its body was enormous, it did not appear clumsy and heavy.

The giant crocodile leader had considerable intelligence, but it was merely a supernatural beast; Su Xiao facing such a powerful force that could crush him, with speed matching his own, would he duel it? The answer was naturally yes, but before the duel, he had a greeting gift to give the opponent.

A foul-smelling wind pressure blew from ahead, lifting Su Xiao's black hair and coat flaps, as if he were being suppressed by the aura of the giant crocodile leader, standing motionless in place.

Amid flying mud and water, the giant crocodile leader instantly reached Su Xiao's front, its bloody maw wide open—clearly intending to bite Su Xiao to pieces and swallow him.

Rows of sharp teeth nearly forty centimeters long appeared ahead; Su Xiao slightly lowered his body, assuming a leaping posture.

Just as Su Xiao was about to be bitten to pieces by the giant crocodile leader, he met it head-on, leaping forward and throwing an object from his left hand, which flew toward the giant crocodile leader's mouth.

Due to Su Xiao being in spatial penetration, his body passed through the upper jaw of the giant crocodile leader, appearing above its head.

The giant crocodile leader's eyes rolled upward, staring at Su Xiao; in its ferocious eyes, confusion was now written all over.

Suspended in midair, Su Xiao released the Dragon-Slaying Flash in his hand; crystal layers clung to his right arm, making it two layers thicker than usual.

Bang!

Su Xiao punched the side of the giant crocodile leader's head; its massive jaws snapped shut violently, even producing a sound like wooden planks colliding.

Please do not forget, Su Xiao had left an object in the giant crocodile leader's mouth earlier—not Apollo, but another thing, which he called a curse bomb; the name sounded unimpressive, but its power was great.

When Su Xiao inlaid curse stones into the Crow's Ring for the second time, he used fifty large soul crystals to create five hollow containers.

During the inlaying of curse stones, Su Xiao should have been severely eroded by curse power, but through alchemical crafting, he conducted this curse power into the containers via a device.

The object Su Xiao had just thrown into the giant crocodile leader's mouth was precisely the container filled with curse power—that is, the curse bomb.

Su Xiao punched down; the crystal layer on his arm shattered, the giant crocodile leader's bloody maw closed, and the curse bomb exploded—not in its mouth, but deep in its throat.

Boom.

A muffled sound came; Su Xiao, standing on the giant crocodile leader's head, felt a tremor underfoot—in his perception, the leader's abdomen seemed to inflate suddenly, then gradually return.

The giant crocodile leader froze abruptly in place; gray smoke drifted from the sides of its mouth and jaws, its body trembling, it was already enraged beyond measure yet unable to move an inch; curse power instantly flooded its inner cavity, it did not die, enough to demonstrate its exaggerated vitality.

Su Xiao leapt down from the giant crocodile leader's head; he did not take the opportunity to slash it a few times, for the current Dragon-Slaying Flash was not yet immortal-grade, and against such a thick-skinned, thick-fleshed behemoth, the damage he could inflict was limited.

Su Xiao would not engage this beast in a hard fight—there was absolutely no need, and whether he could even prevail was a major question.

Landing before the giant crocodile leader's maw, Su Xiao grabbed its upper jaw with his left hand and stepped on its lower jaw with his right foot; then hands and feet exerted force simultaneously—crocodiles have terrifying bite force, but their closing strength is not strong.

Just as he pried open the crocodile's mouth, thick curse energy surged toward him; others would certainly avoid it, but for Su Xiao, the incoming curse power was nothing—these past days he had grown accustomed to the erosion of the Demon Sea's curse.

Another curse bomb appeared in Su Xiao's hand; he threw it into the giant crocodile leader's mouth and immediately retreated.

With a boom, curse energy exploded inside the giant crocodile leader's mouth; this time its reaction was greater—its thick limbs went limp, splayed in four directions, and its lower abdomen smashed into the water.

Bahah, flying far away, saw this scene and muttered: 'What a huge king|eight.'

The giant crocodile leader's upper and lower jaws slightly opened; its ferocious eyes stared at Su Xiao; it was continuously adapting—the Demon Sea curse and the Demon Sea energy within its body shared the same source, so it could gradually adapt to the numbness caused by curse power, which was normal, but the curse energy eroding its inner cavity could not be exempted.

Several meters from the giant crocodile leader, Su Xiao threw another curse bomb; it traced a afterimage and entered the leader's slightly opened maw; the third curse bomb exploded, curse energy spreading everywhere.

The giant crocodile leader's gaze grew even more ferocious; it could feel its body rapidly regaining sensation—though its interior had been eroded to the fragility of a dead tree, its surface defense remained strong.

At the moment before the giant crocodile leader's body recovered, Su Xiao raised his hand; Bahah swooped down from above, throwing an object that landed perfectly in Su Xiao's hand.

Su Xiao exerted full strength in throwing; his object traced an afterimage and entered the giant crocodile leader's mouth.

After doing all this, Su Xiao turned and walked toward the not-distant battle group; the giant crocodile leader rose from the water, strides on its four thick short legs, charging toward Su Xiao—but it did not know it was already dead.

Even with intelligence, this was still a beast; once enraged to the extreme, a beast's instinct would override reason.

Boom!!

Apollo exploded inside the giant crocodile leader's body; its surface defense greatly limited Apollo's blast radius, but also greatly increased Apollo's explosive power.

A simple analogy: placing a lit firecracker beside a bottle versus putting it inside the bottle are completely different.

After a tremendous roar, the giant crocodile leader's crocodile skin bulged all over; the three earlier curse bombs had reduced its internal defense threefold, and now this Apollo finishing blow—its tragic extent could be imagined.

A 'giant skin ball' spewing golden flames from front and back appeared behind Su Xiao, its diameter reaching fifty meters—only to say, the giant crocodile leader's external defense was indeed formidable.

The giant crocodile leader died from an internal explosion; though it looked horrific, it was actually nothing compared to the Moon Goddess's initial endurance of intracranial high temperature.

The shock-generated mud and water splashed behind Su Xiao, still mixed with the color of solar flames, appearing magnificently splendid.
