Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 349 - 89: Great Demon of the Qi Realm, I Want to Give It a Try

Chapter 349: Chapter 89: Great Demon of the Qi Realm, I Want to Give It a Try

As for Zhang Lingfeng’s actions, the three from the King of North of the River neither criticized nor agreed.

In this world of scarce materials and resources, Zhang Lingfeng’s behavior might cost him a lot of resource subsidies.

But from a living perspective, Zhang Lingfeng’s actions are emotional and righteous, deserving of respect.

"Only one hour left, the Bone Realm Great Demons in Qingshui City are almost all killed, Zhang Lingfeng, you take care of yourself."

Liu Chuan appeared again.

Seeing Zhang Lingfeng give the Snake Demon to Fu Kejun, he had a touch of admiration.

"Liu Shen, you must know, which places in Qingshui City still have Great Demons, right?"

Fu Kejun asked respectfully.

"In light of you calling me Liu Shen, I’ll tell you a good place, head east all the way, there’s a lake at the end, inside the lake, there’s a Qi Phase Great Demon, perhaps that is Zhang Lingfeng’s only remaining chance."

Liu Chuan said.

"Ah, a Qi Phase Great Demon."

Fu Kejun’s mouth dropped open.

"It’s a mutated giant crocodile. Initially, I wanted to kill it, but it has a keen sense of smell and detected danger in advance, always hiding underwater. I couldn’t deal with it."

Liu Chuan said.

"Then how can Zhang Lingfeng kill it, especially since it’s a Qi Phase Great Demon? You might want to think again about where there’s a Dirt Realm or Vitality Realm Demon King."

Fu Kejun clasped his hands in prayer.

"I can tell you really want to help him, but there really aren’t any more. Several places I know have all been cleared. If nothing unexpected occurs, someone is already teaming up to deal with that underwater crocodile."

Liu Chuan reminded.

"There should still be some stragglers. I’ll accompany you to look elsewhere."

Fu Kejun said.

"What he said is probably correct."

Zhang Lingfeng shook his head.

The number of Demons in Qingshui City that meet the assessment standards was never enough for all the Martial Dao students to advance, let alone the fact that some failed to advance after killing qualified Demons and were eliminated.

Even if there are stragglers, Qingshui City is so big that in the last hour, it is unlikely enough Demons would be found and all of them killed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lingfeng shot towards the eastern end.

"Interesting, does he really think, having defeated Chang Shanhu, he can kill the underwater crocodile?"

Liu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh.

The underwater crocodile and Chang Shanhu may both appear to be in the Qi Phase, but their combat power is not on the same level.

"Whoosh!"

Zhang Lingfeng didn’t think too much.

He just wanted to see for himself. If there was an opportunity, he would try; if not, he would leave gracefully, never forcing himself or taking risks.

After all, as a Fourth-tier Province Martial Arts Student, reaching this point was already very challenging.

The King of North of the River and the others never expected him to successfully advance, even if eliminated, he would feel no pressure. He was merely curious about what kind of underwater crocodile even someone like Liu Chuan couldn’t handle.

It’s because it hides underwater and doesn’t come out that it can’t be taken down.

But Zhang Lingfeng clearly heard that Liu Chuan tried but failed to kill the underwater crocodile. Given Liu Chuan’s Spiritual Domain, Zhang Lingfeng had doubts that the underwater crocodile, once entering Liu Chuan’s domain, could escape unscathed.

Having just surfaced, sensing danger, it hides at the crucial moment. Liu Chuan couldn’t deliver a killing blow, leaving only one Qi Phase Great Demon in Qingshui City.

Not far now.

About ten minutes later, Zhang Lingfeng finally arrived at the lake’s location.

He sensed the energy fluctuations from far away.

Seeing that around the lake, there were drones hovering overhead.

Four Third-tier Province Martial Arts Students somehow managed to drive the underwater crocodile out from its depths and lured it into an abandoned human living area.

"Boom!"

Arriving, Zhang Lingfeng saw a Martial Arts Student with combat power in the Qi Phase category get hit by the crocodile’s tail, crashing through an abandoned building, landing by the lakeside, and lying there dying.

Seemingly disabled in one move.

The drone descended, quickly removing the incapacitated Third-tier Martial Arts Student.

Preventing the student from dying at the hands of the underwater crocodile.

Zhang Lingfeng discovered that the so-called crocodile was indeed an enormous one, over fifteen meters long, resembling a crocodile from the past world, except its scales were as black as ink, shiny, as if a gloss shimmered over them.

Zhang Lingfeng felt that the crocodile’s scale armor had a defense power even more surprising than the Gaseous Armor of Qi Phase martial artists.

The remaining three Third-tier Province Martial Arts Students were also struck by the crocodile, incapacitated in the subsequent rounds.

Generally, unless specifically targeted, as in Zhang Lingfeng’s case, those with combat power reaching the Qi Phase, or those who have successfully opened the Qi Phase, stand a significant chance to pass the assessment and advance to the third round.

The Martial Arts Students attacking the crocodile were individually much weaker than Chang Shanhu; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been pushed to this situation.

They were pretty much on par with Fu Kejun.

Neither in bloodline nor Dharma Aspect could they occupy an advantage.

Perhaps because of this strength, the crocodile ventured out to play with them, venting its inner rage.

Just then, Zhang Lingfeng noticed a fresh wound on the crocodile’s forehead.

As a Qi Phase Alien Demon Beast, recovery power is usually astonishing; unless it’s a fatal wound, injuries typically heal within half a day to a day.

But the gash on the crocodile’s forehead was still bleeding at this moment, and the wound appeared hard to heal.

It was a sword wound.

It bore special residual fluctuations, hindering the healing.

To have achieved this meant that strike was exceptional, likely the Sword Intent has reached the Third Layer.

Zhang Lingfeng instinctively thought of Liu Chuan.

Liu Chuan had already passed the assessment.

Forbidden from approaching the crocodile’s energy-induced sensory range, watching from afar, clearly his presence would alarm the crocodile. Perhaps the crocodile would be scared back to the depths, making it difficult for Martial Arts Students to kill it.

However, the fate of those four Third-tier Martial Arts Students made the other Third-tier Martial Arts Students arriving afterward lose their nerve.

If they were stronger than those four, they wouldn’t be in this predicament.

The crocodile raised its upper body, towering two stories high, scanning Zhang Lingfeng and the other Third-tier Province Martial Arts Students, who instinctively stepped back.

Zhang Lingfeng hesitated a moment, then flickered, quickly shooting towards the crocodile.

His mind was clear.

He knew the difference between himself and the crocodile; if it weren’t for that lingering wound from Liu Chuan, Zhang Lingfeng would have given up after seeing the fate of the four Third-tier Martial Arts Students.

But the wound on the crocodile’s forehead made Zhang Lingfeng think it was worth trying.

Of course, if it didn’t work, Zhang Lingfeng would retreat swiftly, without hesitation. Therefore, shooting towards the crocodile, he unleashed all his strength.

Four Element Spear Intent and Four Elements Spiritual Realm erupted simultaneously.

Covering the crocodile with intent, trapping it in a quagmire, hindering its movements, while the Four Element Spear Intent pounded against its defenses, to see if it could pierce through its armor.

If releasing both forces couldn’t shake the opponent, then retreating at the first opportunity was paramount, ensuring he didn’t fall into a dangerous situation.

He was ready at all times, to step away from danger, even kicking an iron plate towards the crocodile as he darted forward.

If danger arose, he would retreat immediately.
