I transmigrated to a chaotic world and became the sole player.

"Bang!"

The Azure-Eyed Black Water Lizard's massive tail, covered in barbs, slammed into the stalagmite beside Lu Zhao like a battering ram. The millstone-thick stalagmite snapped in two, sending fragments flying and carving a deep furrow into the sand.

Lu Zhao moved like a ghost, weaving through the rain of stones and mist, narrowly avoiding the powerful blow. His face was slightly pale, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his breathing was more rapid than before.

A prolonged defense is bound to fail, especially since his injuries haven't healed and his spiritual energy is greatly depleted. This Azure-Eyed Water Lizard has thick skin and incredible strength, and its poison arrows are extremely deadly. A slight misstep could lead to certain death. We must find its weakness as soon as possible and kill it with a single blow, or at least severely injure it and force it to retreat!

Although the Annihilation Dragon Qi could break through defenses, the opponent was enormous and incredibly resilient; ordinary attacks had limited effect on its thick scales. While fighting, Lu Zhao pushed his divine sense to its limit, scanning every inch of the Azure-Eyed Mystic Water Lizard with the finest precision.

Its head, spine, limbs, tail... are covered in incredibly hard scales. While its eyes are a weak point, they are difficult to hit because they are fixed on by its six green pupils and protected by its eyelids and surrounding bony plates.

"Throat? Abdomen?" Lu Zhao's eyes flashed like lightning as he captured the subtle changes in the opening and closing of the beast's scales with each attack and defense.

As the Azure-Eyed Water Lizard raised its head again and roared, preparing to spew its poisonous darts, Lu Zhao keenly noticed a patch of scales, about the size of a washbasin, slightly lighter in color than the rest of its bluish-black scales, near its chest, beneath its thick, barbed neck. These scales seemed even finer, and as it inhaled and gathered its strength, its throat bulging in preparation to spew, a tiny gap would open, from which a faint, dark green venomous mist would seep out.

"That's it!" Lu Zhao's heart skipped a beat. Below the neck, near the connection between the heart and the reflex organs, the defenses are relatively weak, and it's a crucial point for the venom's circulation! If he could hit that spot, even if it wasn't fatal, it would severely damage the venom-spitting ability, and might even cause the venom to backfire!

We only get one chance! We must create that opportunity, get close, and strike with lightning speed!

In a flash of thought, a resolute glint appeared in Lu Zhao's eyes. He deliberately seemed to falter slightly as he dodged a claw attack, his feet slipping on the sand, revealing a tiny opening.

The Azure-Eyed Water Lizard's six green eyes flashed with a fierce light. How could it miss such a golden opportunity? It stretched out its thick neck, opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and violently throbbed its throat. Dark green poisonous mist had already gathered in its mouth and was about to be spat out! At the same time, its right forepaw, accompanied by a shrill screech that tore through the air, slammed down hard on Lu Zhao's body, which seemed unable to dodge in time!

It's now!

Lu Zhao's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his previously staggering figure suddenly turned from extreme movement to extreme stillness, as if defying common sense! Instead of continuing to retreat, he twisted his waist, and the little remaining Annihilation Dragon Qi in his body surged wildly into his legs!

"Dragon Step!"

In that instant, his figure seemed to transform into a true phantom of a dragon, skimming the ground and passing by the shadow of the giant claw of the Azure-Eyed Water Lizard with incredible angle and speed, narrowly missing its target! The sharp claw wind even tore the clothes on his shoulder, leaving several bloody marks on his skin.

But he succeeded! At the most vulnerable moment—when the Azure-Eyed Water Lizard's old strength was exhausted and new strength had not yet been generated, when the poison arrow was about to be released and the gray-white scales below its neck were slightly open—he broke through the giant claw's blockade and approached the Azure-Eyed Water Lizard's neck!

The two sides were less than ten feet apart!

For the first time, a clear look of horror appeared in the Azure-Eyed Water Lizard's six green eyes! It tried to retract its neck, close its mouth, and swat the annoying "insect" with its other paw... but it was too late!

Lu Zhao's face was as cold as ice. He brought his right index and middle fingers together, and all the annihilating dragon energy in his body surged wildly and without reservation to his fingertips! A point of gray-gold light condensed at his fingertips. The light was not dazzling, but it carried a terrifying sense of annihilation that could cause all things to wither and return to nothingness!

"die!"

Lu Zhao let out a low roar, his two fingers pressed together like the sharpest drill, and with an unstoppable momentum, he fiercely pointed at the center of the grayish-white scale!

"laugh--!"

A soft sound, like a hot knife cutting into butter.

The condensed and refined Annihilation Finger Force encountered almost no significant obstacles, easily piercing through the relatively fragile gray-white scales and deeply penetrating the flesh below the neck of the Azure-Eyed Mystic Water Lizard!

"Roar—!!!"

The Azure-Eyed Water Lizard let out its most piercing and agonizing scream since the start of the war! Its massive body writhed wildly, and its six green eyes instantly became engorged with blood, filled with unbelievable pain and terror!

The dark green poison arrow that was halfway prepared in its mouth suddenly exploded due to the excruciating pain and the disruption of its energy channels!

"puff!"

Dark green venom and toxic mist exploded in its own mouth, corroding its sharp teeth with a hissing sound, and instantly eroding the inner walls of its mouth! The venom flowed back, some even flowing into its body along the esophagus and trachea, causing even more severe internal damage!

And this is just the beginning.

Lu Zhao's finger, which was filled with the annihilating dragon energy of his entire body, only truly unleashed its annihilating power after it broke through the scales and pierced into the flesh!

The gray-gold aura of annihilation, like the most terrible plague, spread wildly, eroded, and devoured the flesh and meridians of the Azure-Eyed Mystic Water Lizard, centered on Lu Zhao's fingertips! Wherever it passed, flesh withered and died, meridians broke inch by inch, and life was rapidly stripped away!

"Boom boom boom!"

The Azure-Eyed Water Lizard went completely mad. The excruciating pain drove it to madness. Its massive body rolled and rammed wildly in the cave, its thick tail swung wildly, and its giant claws slammed against the ground and rock walls. In an instant, the earth shook, rocks rained down, and the pool was churned up into a raging inferno.

After successfully striking with his finger, Lu Zhao immediately retreated, his figure as swift as lightning, rushing towards the edge of the cave. However, the Azure-Eyed Water Lizard's final struggle was too violent; its wildly flailing tail, though out of aim, covered a wide area and carried a terrifying force, still striking Lu Zhao's back.

"puff!"

Lu Zhao felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow. A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body flew forward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily against the rock wall before sliding down. He felt as if his internal organs had shifted, his vision blurred, and his back burned with pain; he feared he had broken several ribs.

But he managed to stay upright and sit up, his eyes fixed on the giant beast struggling wildly by the pool.

The gray-gold aura of annihilation continued to spread from the wound on the Azure-eyed Water Lizard's neck, causing the flesh in that area to visibly wither and shrivel. The backlash from the venom in its mouth and the internal erosion by annihilation caused it immense pain, and its life force weakened at an alarming rate.

Its remaining five green eyes (one of which was blinded by its own collision during the roll) glared at Lu Zhao with resentment and fear, as if it knew that it would not get away with this today and that if it dragged on any longer, it would probably perish here.

"Roar..." With a weak and unwilling growl, the Azure-Eyed Water Lizard twisted its massive body violently, and with the still-spreading gray wound on its neck and its disheveled appearance, it plunged back into the bottomless dark pool, leaving behind only a large area of ​​pool water stained dark green, floating broken scales, and the stench of blood in the air.

The water rippled a few times before gradually calming down, leaving only the roar of the waterfall, as if the thrilling battle had never happened.

"Cough cough..." Lu Zhao coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood, his face as pale as paper, and his breath extremely weak. That finger strike just now had almost drained all his spiritual power, and he had also endured a tail sweep from the demon beast's dying counterattack, making his injuries even more severe than before.

But he knew that now was not the time to relax.

"Chen Bai..." he called out hoarsely, taking a deep breath.

Chen Bai and the others, who had been watching with trepidation, suddenly snapped out of their daze and rushed over.

"Senior! How are you?" Chen Bai looked at Lu Zhao with a mixture of admiration and worry.

"It's alright... I won't die." Lu Zhao waved his hand, took out the last few healing pills from his storage bag, stuffed them into his mouth, and swallowed them with difficulty. "Immediately... arrange for people to fetch water, but be careful, only in shallow water, don't go deep! Everyone, retreat to that dry sandy area over there, take the time to rest and recover your strength. You... take a few people to keep watch around, beware of that beast returning, and also be aware of other possible dangers..."

After giving the instructions, Lu Zhao could no longer hold on. He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and focused all his energy on circulating his cultivation technique to catalyze the medicinal power and repair his almost broken body.

Inside the cave, tranquility was restored for the time being, with only the sound of the waterfall, the suppressed breathing and sobbing of the crowd, and the sound of carefully fetching water.
