The Tao is far away

Wang Chi looked at the crocodile skin in his hand, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if thick ink could drip out.

After detonating a precious talisman, all he got in the end was a useless piece of skin.

Wang Chi tightly grasped the crocodile skin, and his anger instantly turned into surging fire energy. He swung his hand violently and burned it to ashes.

At this time, there were bursts of whistling sounds in the air.

Wang Chi looked up subconsciously, and saw the flying mud crocodile that had shed its skin suddenly appear in front of him.

At this moment, the black mud on its body had long disappeared, and its entire body was covered with fine purple lines, making it look mysterious and dangerous.

"Middle stage of foundation building..."

Wang Chi's eyelids trembled uncontrollably and he felt a little frightened, but he quickly calmed down.

"What kind of broken rules does this forbidden area have? It limits the cultivators' cultivation to the Qi Refining Stage, but there are no restrictions on the monsters here."

In fact, the high-level monsters that were kept in captivity by the Tianshu Holy Land in this forbidden area had been killed long ago, leaving only some low-level Qi-refining monsters.

However, this forbidden area is a space of its own, and it also continuously produces some spiritual energy, so the monsters inside have a certain chance of breaking through the Qi Refining Stage.

As for the array pattern that restricted cultivation, it was only aimed at the disciples participating in the trial, and was intended to prevent some high-level cultivators from entering the forbidden area and wantonly killing monsters, causing their extinction.

The flying crocodile flapped its huge wings, and a strong wind blew up. Its ferocious face showed an anthropomorphic provocative expression, and it stared at Wang Chi.

Wang Chi didn't seem too flustered.

Firstly, this flying crocodile has wings and is extremely fast. Even though Wang Chi has the Cloud-Stepping Boots, he is still slightly inferior in speed.

Secondly, Wang Chi didn't want to waste a talisman in vain. If he just ran away like this, it would be a huge loss.

I must kill you!

The flying crocodile seemed to lose its patience and took the lead in attacking.

I saw yellow light constantly spewing out of its mouth, and sharp earth thorns condensed out in an instant.

The earth spikes broke through the air, covering the sky and the earth, like a dense rain of arrows.

Wang Chi remained extremely calm. A small yellow tripod in his hand suddenly shone brightly, grew larger in the wind, and crashed into the flying crocodile with a dull roar.

There was only a "crackling" sound, and the earth spikes broke apart one after another.

Upon seeing this, Flying Crocodile shot another bright beam of light at the Yellow-Patterned Cauldron, trying to force back the approaching cauldron.

However, the yellow-patterned cauldron did not move at all, and continued to smash towards the flying crocodile's head with unwavering determination.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the crocodile was smashed to pieces in an instant and disappeared into the air as a cloud of smoke.

"You beast, you're still using this trick?"

Wang Chi raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a disdainful smile.

This crocodile really thinks itself a fool, thinking that I can't see that it is dividing its body again?

Sure enough, a sharp sound of breaking air came from behind Wang Chi.

Just as a ray of light was about to hit Wang Chi's back, a green light flashed on Wang Chi's feet and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

There was confusion in Fei Crocodile's eyes. He obviously didn't expect Wang Chi to dodge so quickly.

In the next moment, Wang Chi appeared in another location, holding a mirror in his hand that was shining brightly. On the mirror surface, a starry galaxy was faintly visible, dazzling and brilliant.

This mirror is exactly the gift from the Holy Lord Tianji - the Starry Sky Mirror.

The Starry Sky Mirror flew out from Wang Chi's hand and landed on the crocodile's head in the next moment.

The mirror reflected a vast starry sky, instantly enveloping the crocodile.

The shrouded crocodile suddenly became motionless, as if it had been cast under a spell.

Wang Chi took out the Green Bamboo Sword without hesitation and thrust it into the ground. Immediately, a green magic circle appeared above his head, and a huge green sword slowly emerged from it.

This is Wang Chi’s most powerful attack method at present—the giant sword technique.

With the blessing of the Green Bamboo Sword, its power is even more astonishing.

The green sword suddenly broke away from the magic circle, and with the momentum of destroying the world, it slashed towards the flying crocodile.

The crocodile imprisoned by the Starry Sky Mirror felt the strong breath of death on the giant sword. Its eyes rolled around wildly and its body kept struggling, trying to break the magical power of the Starry Sky Mirror.

Tiny cracks appeared on the starry sky light curtain, and it seemed that it was about to shatter.

A bright moon slowly rose in Wang Chi’s mind, emitting a soft silver light.

A crystal clear spiritual crystal broke away from the moon, instantly rushed out of the sea of ​​consciousness, and shot out from between Wang Chi's eyebrows.

A divine thought thorn accurately hit the crocodile's sea of ​​consciousness, causing ripples.

The crocodile felt a moment of trance in its mind, and its struggling movements stopped instantly.

The next moment, the giant sword hit the crocodile's head and instantly blasted it into pieces.

Wang Chi put away the Starry Sky Mirror, and the headless crocodile corpse fell down and landed heavily in the mud.

Wang Chi let out a long breath, his forehead covered with sweat.

"If it weren't for the use of spiritual power, the crocodile might have really broken free." Wang Chi muttered to himself with lingering fear.

In order to maintain the Starry Sky Mirror's confinement power, his spiritual power has been exhausted.

Putting aside his chaotic thoughts, Wang Chi took out the small black sword and walked towards the crocodile with firm steps.

His movements were a little clumsy, but he still successfully dug out the monster's inner elixir.

Looking at the still steaming demon pill, Wang Chi smiled with relief.

“It’s not a loss this time.”

Fortunately, this crocodile has just broken through to the middle stage of foundation building and his realm is still unstable, otherwise he would have suffered a lot.

Just when Wang Chi was about to put away the demon pill, he suddenly heard a steady sound of footsteps behind him, followed by a voice that made Wang Chi instantly feel murderous.

"Fellow Daoist, why do you want to kill the monster that we have already injured?"

Humph, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?

I want to see how powerful you are!

Wang Chi calmly put away the demon pill and the crocodile corpse, then quickly took out a few pills to replenish spiritual energy from the storage bag and swallowed them all in one gulp.

Wang Chi turned around slowly, quietly holding a medium-grade spirit stone in his hand and hiding it behind him.

Looking up, I saw two puppets standing next to the two monks. They turned out to be the monks from Wanmu Sect.

In order to refine the medicinal power and absorb the spiritual power in the spirit stone as quickly as possible, Wang Chi forced a smile on his face and said, "So you are the two brothers from Wanmu Sect. I didn't know that this demon beast in the middle stage of foundation building was injured by you. I exhausted all my energy and just killed it with great difficulty."

One of the monks with a mustache frowned. Middle stage of foundation building?

This person was able to kill it alone, so he must be very capable.

The monk with a mustache glanced at the puppet beside him, and his brows relaxed. He thought to himself: This puppet is already comparable to a foundation-building monk. I don't believe that you can deal with two foundation-building puppets and two peak Qi-refining monks when you are exhausted.

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. Here are some spirit stones. Please return the demon pill to us."

The monk with the mustache had a smile on his face, but he was sneering in his heart, thinking secretly: You'd better be sensible and hand it over obediently, so that I don't have to kill you myself!
