My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

"It's my turn."

Li Xuancang pressed forward, his left hand, with its five fingers like hooks, suddenly gripping a gap in the scales of the giant crocodile's lower jaw.

The edges of the scales were as sharp as knives, cutting his palm painfully.

Unaware of his surroundings, his fingers gripped even deeper, digging themselves into the crocodile's flesh and bones.

"roar!"

The crocodile, in pain, frantically twisted its head, trying to throw him off.

Its power is enough to shake mountains, and its tail whips the river surface, creating a new wave of tsunamis. The entire river churns and tumbles under its struggle.

Li Xuancang remained motionless, gripping the giant crocodile tightly.

He was hanging from the crocodile's jaw, his right fist clenched, ready to unleash his power.

The golden light on the fist grew stronger and stronger, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.

Hearing the terrified roars of beasts erupting behind him, Li Canglang fled even faster.

"Lord Xuan'e, I hope you can survive."

He dared not look back and fled at an even faster speed.

"This punch will send you on your way."

Li Xuancang shouted and threw out his right fist, which smashed into the giant crocodile's left eye.

There were no fancy angles, no clever use of force; a brutal punch landed on the dark gold vertical pupil.

"puff!"

His eyeballs burst, and blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering all over Li Xuancang.

"roar!"

The giant crocodile let out a piercing scream, its massive body thrashing wildly in the water, causing the river to boil over.

Its demonic power went out of control, and countless water dragons rose from the river, stirring up mud, sand, and pebbles, causing the world to change color.

Li Xuancang was thrown out, tumbled several times in the air, and landed steadily on the water.

The giant crocodile sank into the river as it tumbled, leaving only a huge whirlpool on the surface.

"Trying to run away?"

Li Xuancang saw that the giant crocodile wanted to escape, and he was not about to let it get away with it.

Having already let Li Canglang escape, if we let the giant crocodile in front of us escape as well, wouldn't we be going home empty-handed?

Li Xuancang's eyes hardened, he took a deep breath, and leaped into the vortex.

The riverbed was pitch black, and no light could penetrate it. There was no sound, only the icy, bone-chilling river water pressing against every inch of skin.

Li Xuancang's five senses were astonishing; even in complete darkness, he could clearly see his surroundings.

The giant crocodile was desperately diving deeper into the river, where there was an underground river, its last escape route.

It had lost sight in one eye, and the intense pain drove it almost insane, but the instinct for survival still drove it to keep diving deeper.

Li Xuancang hurriedly chased after him.

His swimming style was devoid of any grace; it was simply rough paddling and kicking.

But each thrust contained terrifying power, propelling him forward rapidly through the deep water like a cannonball.

The water pressure increased so much that it flattened the iron plate.

His physical body was completely fearless; this pressure was nothing to him.

"roar!"

The giant crocodile also spotted Li Xuancang chasing after it, and its remaining eye was filled with fear.

It never imagined that even after it had escaped to the bottom of the river, Li Xuancang would still be able to catch up with it.

The giant crocodile burst into even greater speed and fled, but Li Xuancang had already caught up with it.

Only a hundred feet from the bottom of the underground river, Li Xuancang grabbed the giant crocodile's tail.

The giant crocodile's tail was covered with bone spurs and barbs, imbued with pure demonic power, making them incredibly sharp. Each one pierced deeply into Li Xuancang's palm.

"snort!"

Li Xuancang snorted coldly, and instead of letting go, he clasped his hands together, tightly locking its thick tail in his arms.

He used his waist and back strength, twisted suddenly, and flung the entire giant crocodile into the air.

Its massive, hill-like body was violently whipped around by Li Xuancang's tail.

"Splash, splash..."

The water was stirred into a huge whirlpool, with undercurrents surging like a tide.

"Bang!

The giant crocodile's head crashed into the rocky bottom of the river, shattering a large area of ​​reefs.

Before it could react, Li Xuancang flipped over and mounted the giant crocodile's neck.

At the weakest point where the crocodile demon's head connects to its torso, a relatively fine layer of scales covers it.

He clamped his legs together, like a mountain pressing down on the giant crocodile, and no matter how frantically it rolled and thrashed, it remained motionless.

He bent down and inserted his hands into the gaps between the scales on the crocodile's neck.

The ten fingers were like ten iron hooks, tearing through scales, piercing flesh, and gripping the burning muscles and tendons below.

"puff!"

The crocodile's blood gushed from between its fingers, carrying an astonishingly high temperature, and steamed into strings of bubbles in the icy river water.

The excruciating pain drove the giant crocodile into a frenzy.

It rolled and tumbled at the bottom of the river, rammed its head against the mountain, and swept its tail against the rocks.

The surrounding terrain was altered during this final, death throes.

On the river, the waves crashed against the shore, and the huge waves spread along the riverbanks, causing the river to overflow and submerge large areas of the riverbed.

Veins bulged on Li Xuancang's forehead, muscles bulged in his arms, and blood vessels under his skin looked like they were about to burst.

Its entire body radiated a golden light, illuminating the dark riverbed.

"Give...me...a head up..."

He exerted his strength suddenly, tearing the crocodile's head apart.

"puff!"

Blood gushed out from the severed neck like a volcanic eruption, turning the nearby river water red.

The giant crocodile's massive body convulsed and trembled violently, its tail slapping the riverbed once, twice, three times... before gradually losing strength and falling silent.

Li Xuancang, cradling the crocodile head, which was several times larger than his entire body, and grasping the crocodile's corpse with one hand, slowly rose from the bottom of the river.

On the crocodile's head, the remaining right eye had not completely lost its luster, and Li Xuancang's blood-soaked face was reflected in its dark golden pupil.

Li Xuancang looked down at it, unable to hide the joy on his face.

"This is what happens when you like to meddle in other people's business."

Although he let Li Canglang go, Li Xuancang was satisfied with killing a powerful demon at the Tongxuan Realm.

As he dragged the crocodile's carcass ashore, he was spotted by Du Tianhao, who had caught up with him.

Du Tianhao was worried that Li Xuancang might be in danger while chasing Li Canglang alone, so he followed closely behind.

However, Li Xuancang and his companion were too fast, and he was left behind.

By the time he caught up, Li Xuancang had already finished the battle.

"This...this..."

Looking at the enormous crocodile carcass, as big as a hill, Du Tianhao was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.

He had seen his share of ups and downs, but this scene still shocked him.

The giant crocodile had just been killed and was still radiating terrifying demonic power; its aura of the Profound Realm sent chills down one's spine.

Yet this powerful demon was slain by Li Xuancang, and its corpse became his spoils of war.

Li Xuancang was able to kill a powerful demon at the Tongxuan Realm in such a short time; it's hard to imagine just how terrifying his strength is.

"Lord Du, you've come at the perfect time."

Upon seeing Du Tianhao, Li Xuancang's expression brightened with joy.

"You keep an eye on the crocodile's carcass for me, I'm going to deal with the Whale Gang."

He handed the crocodile carcass over to Du Tianhao for safekeeping, then transformed into a streak of light and sped away.
