Chapter 292 - Blood Croc Army (1/2)

Boom~

As the rumbling continued, the sound only grew louder. Not even the chaos of battle could drown it.

Luo clan and Drifting Flowers Edifices stopped their charge. So too did Yan Bangui and You Yushan cease attacking their flanks.

Ally and enemy alike watched dumbstruck at the source of the noise. What dreaded creature could make such a ‘riveting’ entrance?

Roar!

They got their answer in the form of an endless stampede of blood-red creatures crawling towards them from behind Huangpu Qingtian. Regardless of where one looked, all they saw was a crawling red mass.

Now that they got a closer look, the creature was a fanged blood crocodile of five meters in length. They were pack animals crawling on the ground, yet that didn’t stop them from having incredible speed and tough bodies like peak Bone Tempering experts.

“3rd level spiritual beast, Blood Croc!”

Everyone cried out in alarm. Who wouldn’t, when watching ten thousand Blood Crocs marching towards them with relentless force.

A lucky few Profound Heaven experts would just fly out, while the rest were doomed to be ripped limb from limb in the jaws of a croc.

Luo Yunhai turned grave, “Godfather told me the Quanrong are expert beast masters, sweeping the battlefield with their beast army. This army can use formations and could hold its own at a numerical disadvantage, but I never imagined Huangpu Qingtian would resort to the likes of this. This is bad!”

“What, Huangpu Qingtian called them?” Long Xingyun snapped his head at the smirking figure, just as the Blood Crocs simply bypassed him. Now a believer, his face sank, “This monster is already strong enough, but now he can call upon a beast army as well? We can’t fight them. Our only choice is to run or get trampled!”

The others took one last fearful look at Huangpu Qingtian and nodded. Huangpu Qingtian’s talent had reached a godlike level!

But was running that easy? Sure, the few flying ones could take some passengers, but what about the other couple thousand?

They were fated to end up as broken corpses under the Blood Crocs’ stampede.

Chu Qingcheng frowned and sighed.

Yan Bangui, You Yushan and Lin Xuanfeng snickered as they flew away with their Profound Heaven experts, uncaring to the fate of the rest.

Xie Tianyang looked at Zhuo Fan’s broad and straight back, “Our fate now rests solely in his hands.”

Everyone looked at Zhuo Fan in frustration and helplessness.

Zhuo Fan’s abilities were eerie, to say the least, of great power, but could one man stop the flood?

They held no hope in Zhuo Fan.

Even Luo Yunhai, always confident of Zhuo Fan’s invincibility, faltered, “I and big brother Zhuo had anticipated the enemy launching a frontal assault. It was our ignorance that led us to assume they’d be men and not thousands of Blood Crocs! Humans are susceptible to fear. A bit of trick here and there from big brother Zhuo would be enough to buy us plenty of time. But when facing a horde of savage spiritual beasts, they won’t falter for anything…”

“Damn it! Is there no other way?” Xie Tianshang cut him off in anger. His eyes were burning from rage, “Huangpu Qingtian is inhuman!”

The others got what he was saying.

Yes, he was inhuman. No man was able to subdue a Blood Croc horde and use it for himself. No one would be so cruel to his fellow men, to even throw away his own men’s lives to be ground beneath the marching horde of his beasts.

Then it dawned on them, [Eh? Isn’t that strikingly similar to Zhuo Fan?]

They turned to him now. The man was taking a deep breath and looked on heavily. Like a cold-blooded monster, he also possessed power no man could.

But how much could this monster slow the horde down? [We don’t ask for much, just enough to let us get out alive.]

They held little hope for Zhuo Fan pulling through for them, but they still did hope!

His talent was unseen in this world as well, but he was a human like the rest. How could he possibly slow the beast flood down?

Well, one delusional girl thought this was right up his alley. Xue Ningxiang clenched her fists and said, “No worries. Big brother Zhuo can do it…”

She had now crossed the point of no return, becoming an eternal Zhuo Fan’s, uh, fan. She didn’t care about hows or whys, just as long as Zhuo Fan did something, everything would be alright.
