Chapter 375: Killing the Cold Ice Crocodile_1
At this moment, Lin Tianming fixed his gaze and saw that the Cold Ice Crocodile's entire body was charred, its massive body riddled with numerous injuries, with fresh blood gushing directly from some of the wounds.
Not only that, the Cold Ice Crocodile let out several agonized roars, its huge body writhing non-stop, its tail slamming frantically into the lake water, staining a large area red with blood, appearing to be in excruciating pain.
Yet, even after that blow, the Cold Ice Crocodile had not died but merely had its aura greatly diminished, clearly having sustained serious injuries.
At this moment, Lin Tianming's brow furrowed tightly, unable to help but feel inwardly moved.
He had not expected the Cold Ice Crocodile to be so formidable, surviving an attack from the Blue Heart True Flame and only sustaining serious injuries.
This outcome had been achieved only by combining the efforts of the Bloodthirsty Jiao and the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox, plus himself.
And this scene was something he had encountered for the first time since entering the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Finally regaining his composure, Lin Tianming's hand flashed with light from the Tiangang Sword, and once again, he invoked the Tiangang Sword Qi Seventh Sword.
The Cold Ice Crocodile was in a bad state, its strength reduced by the wounds on its body, which put it in a passive position.
He must seize this opportunity to take its life.
The damage from the stacking of seven swords was no less formidable, and the wounded Cold Ice Crocodile would not be able to easily fend it off any longer.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming was extremely decisive, transforming the Tiangang Sword in his hand into a long dragon, slashing directly at the Cold Ice Crocodile tumbling in the water.
Facing this terrifying Tiangang Sword, the Cold Ice Crocodile was filled with fear. If it had been in its prime, then the Tiangang Sword would not have posed a threat to its life.
But now that it had been injured, with its strength reduced by at least thirty percent, and with the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox looming menacingly on the side, constantly using illusion techniques to influence it.
Under these circumstances, evading the attacks unscathed was definitely not going to be easy.
The more he realized this, the more the Cold Ice Crocodile forced itself to calm down.
Immediately after, it ignored its injuries and madly fled into the depths of the water.
Unfortunately, the area covered by the Earth Fiend Sword Formation was only slightly larger than two hundred zhang, not much larger compared to its body.
With such a size, and with Lin Tianming having cultivated it to the Minor Achievement Realm, when it came to trapping enemies, the formation was as solid as a fortified wall, far surpassing the sword array that had been deployed by fifty-six swords initially.
Sure enough, after the Cold Ice Crocodile moved its body a few times, it smashed directly into the barricade of the Earth Fiend Sword Formation.
Sounds of collision rang out, the Sword Array Barricade initially shook violently, looking as if it was on the verge of collapse.
However, Lin Tianming spat out a mouthful of essence blood, and the sword array quickly returned to normal, becoming even more stable.
Seeing the Sword Array Barricade become so robust, the Cold Ice Crocodile rammed into it several times but failed to break through, becoming completely panicked.
However, its crisis was not limited to just these.
While the Cold Ice Crocodile was in a state of panic, outside the Sword Array Barricade, the Bloodthirsty Jiao also unleashed a barrage of Blood Arrows, penetrating through the Sword Array Barricade and raining down on the Cold Ice Crocodile in the water.
Not just that, the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox repeated its old trick, once again using illusions to affect the Cold Ice Crocodile's mind and spewing out a red mist to envelop the space above its head.
For a moment, the attacks from one man and two beasts converged together, filling the entire range of the sword array, an intense aura sweeping across the heavens and the earth.
Under such attacks, the Cold Ice Crocodile could neither escape nor hide, especially with the added effect of the illusions from the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox.
The illusion technique was equally terrifying. Just earlier when Lin Tianming had deployed the Blue Heart True Flame, he had coordinated with the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox to use it once, momentarily paralyzing the Cold Ice Crocodile for a brief moment.
In that brief moment, a complete reversal occurred.
Under such circumstances, it could be said that the Cold Ice Crocodile was doomed to escape.
Under the combined assault of Lin Tianming and the two spirit beasts, the Cold Ice Crocodile could not escape the range of the sword array and had no choice but to take the hit head-on.
Seemingly realizing its predicament, with no escape possible, it stalwartly raised its head and spewed out a large number of ice pillars to block above its head.
It moved swiftly, and the ice pillars surged into the sky just before the three attacks landed, colliding head-on with them.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Explosions echoed continually, the entire sword array turned into a sea of fire, and the intense fluctuations caused the Earth Fiend Sword Formation to violently shake.
At this time, Lin Tianming, with his gaze fixated, relied on the effect of the Eye of Five Colors to capture every detail of this earth-shattering clash.
Unexpectedly, in a desperate situation, the Cold Ice Crocodile also exerted its full strength, once again refreshing Lin Tianming's understanding of its power.
In his view, the Divine Skills attack of the ice pillars actually withstood the assault of three opponents for quite a while before collapsing.
Immediately after, the assaults from the Bloodthirsty Jiao and the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox continued to rain down, and although it avoided vital areas, it still ended up with an abundance of wounds on its body.
However, despite the multitude of injuries, with its formidable physique and that inhuman defensive power, the impact was still tolerable.
But the attack from the Tiangang Sword was the greatest threat to it.
Although the power had been greatly reduced by the ice pillars, this attack was almost Lin Tianming's strongest offensive means apart from Spirit Art.
Consequently, when the Tiangang Sword eventually struck the Cold Ice Crocodile, it achieved a certain degree of effectiveness.
The Cold Ice Crocodile managed to dodge away from the vital parts, and under the attack of the Tiangang Sword, its tail was almost severed. Had it not made a timely evasion, this strike could have very well taken its life.
