The Crocodile King's expression turned hostile when he heard Qingfeng. This human in front of it was despicable, wanting to ride on top of them past the swamp, and so he wanted to eat this man.

Eat, eat, eat, it was the only way for Crocodile King to regain his pride as the ruler.

Roar!

Crocodile King roared and spat out a black light beam. The beam was very powerful, and as thick as a water keg. It directly punctured a large hole in the air and rushed towards Qingfeng.

Qingfeng punched out with his right fist, his vital essence condensing into a mountainous phantom that clashed with the black light beam. It punched a hole into the light beam, and dispersed into the air.

The attack Crocodile King launched was no match for the Strangle h.e.l.l Fist's power.

This Crocodile King was most powerful inside the swamp, but Qingfeng quickly realized how water interacts with lightning.

"G.o.d, please smite this dumb crocodile." Qingfeng took out the Thunder Pearl, activated the vital essence inside, and created a bolt of lightning.

Clas.h.!.+

A sudden streak of red lightning struck down from the sky at the Crocodile King.

"Lightning, why is there lightning?" the Crocodile King was terrified, it was its biggest fear.

The Crocodile King wanted to run, but it was too late. The lightning had struck it right on its scaly back.

Clash clash clas.h.!.+

The Crocodile King's body shook uncontrollably at the crackling sounds. Its skin turned toasted black, as it died from the shock.

The water in the swamp was a conductor of electricity so not only did the Crocodile King die from the impact, about ten crocodiles that were nearby also died, with their bodies toasted black.

All of a sudden, over a few hundreds of crocodiles died in the swamp, leaving only half of the population alive.

The crocodiles that survived were terrified after they saw how their leader, the Crocodile King, had died. This youth before them was horrific; he could manipulate lightning and roast them in the water.

"Take us away from this swamp, or else you'll end up like the Crocodile King," Qingfeng threatened the few crocodiles that remained.

These crocodiles were terrified, so they nodded hurriedly, and carried Qingfeng and the others past this swamp.

Along the way, Xianzhi and those from the Fiery Emperor Palace looked at Qingfeng from time to time, their eyes filled with shock and confusion. They had no clue how Qingfeng was able to create lightning bolts on a whim.

Bang bang!

Not long after they left, they heard fighting sounds in front of them. It sounded very intense even far in the distance.

Qingfeng made eyes with Daoist and Xianzhi to tell them to keep quiet, as he looked forward carefully.

In the woods in front of them were two groups of people fighting. One had black gowns, with Black Blade symbols embroidered on their sleeves. They were clearly Black Blade Sect Disciples.

The leader was a youth that was twenty-something years old, dressed in black. He had a black blade on his back that reflected off intense beams. He was one of the most talented disciples of the Black Blade Sect, Tianming Hei, a powerful self-cultivator.

The other direction was occupied by many s.h.i.+rtless men, each with a ma.s.sive black millstone on their backs.

The millstones were all very heavy, each at least ten thousand kilograms, and were all pitch black. However, it seemed to be very light on their backs. They were all from the Stone Sect, and their leader was Hong Pan.

The two forces fiercy stared at each other, with furious fire raging in their eyes.

Not far away from them was a black puppy no more than twenty centimeters long. It had black fur all over, forming a luscious coat, with two black eyes that rolled around intelligently.

"Tianming Hei, this spiritual beast puppy is mine," Hong Pan said as he frowned.

Tianming Hei smiled coldly, "I saw this spiritual puppy first, so why would I give it to you?"

Spiritual beasts were different than demonic beasts, they were more intelligent and more humanized. Simply put, they were more gifted than demonic beasts.

Spiritual beasts can be tamed and turned into pets. They had many qualities, such as combat abilities and an innate ability of finding precious treasures.

Both Tianming Hei and Hong Pan understandably wanted this spiritual puppy.

Tianming Hei took out the black blade on his back and charged at the opponent. It formed a ray of black light as it struck towards Hong Pan.

Hong Pan took out his ma.s.sive millstone as well and swung it out in front of him, dispersing the black beam away.

This millstone was no regular piece of rock. It was made from meteorite ore, so it contained great power. Not only was the material unbreakable, its attack force was powerful as well.

"Hong Pan, how did you reach the peak of the True Spirit Realm?" Tianming Hei was shocked; he couldn't believe that his opponent had already achieved a breakthrough.

Hong Pan nodded, and said, "You're not bad either, you've mastered the black blade techniques, but unfortunately you are still not my match."

Right after speaking, Hong Pan raised the millstone in his hands and slammed it towards Tianming. The millstone was extremely heavy, as just one movement contained over ten thousand tonnes of momentum.

Under the pressure of the millstone's power, Tianming's expressions grew terrified.

"Black blade technique!" Tianming attacked with his blade, forming a ma.s.sive black wind that crashed into the force of the millstone.

Boom!

The clash of the two forces formed a ma.s.sive sound wave that shook the ground and sky. Those who were nearby were deafened by the noise, as the mad energy spread out and blew the surrounding trees out of the ground.

These two fought endlessly and fiercely with no clear distinction between who would win.

The spiritual puppy turned its eyes, and ran away as the two fought.

Tianming and Hong's expressions changed as they saw the spiritual puppy run. They all stopped fighting and went after the puppy they both desired.

When the spiritual puppy saw that there were people in front, behind, and on the left of it, it went towards the right where there was no one.

Qingfeng had been sneaking around beside the rocks on the right. He suddenly saw a black thing rus.h.i.+ng towards him, and landing into his arms.

It fell into his arms!

Qingfeng looked on in suspicion, and saw that it was a black puppy that had tunneled its way into his arms, leaving him dumbfounded.

It would be great if it were a beautiful woman, but a puppy?

At the same time, Tianming and Hong had surrounded Qingfeng and the others.

"Hand over the spiritual puppy, and get lost," Tianming said to Qingfeng with an icy expression.
