Chapter 117 - Evenly Matched (2/2)

Gua!

The Demon Eye Toad wasn’t afraid in the least, either. Its figure leapt into the air once more, its mouth opening wide, shooting a ball of gloomy green water about the size of a basketball at the Purple Jade Condor.

It was obvious that the deep blue beam shot from the Demon Eye Toad’s back earlier was most likely its offensive skill, and now that it was on cooldown, it could only use the corrosive green water like the rest of its underlings.

However, the Purple Jade Condor was aware that this corrosive water attack wasn’t to be underestimated, either. Naturally it wouldn’t fly into it stupidly. The Purple Jade Condor tilted its wing slightly, and drew a beautiful arc in the air, reaching the side of the Demon Eye Toad.

As the saying went, it was impolite to only be on the receiving end. The Purple Jade Condor was well aware that this damned toad before its eyes was the strongest foe it had ever encountered, and it didn’t dare to hold anything back. It activated its Wing Blade skill, emitting a blinding glow of light on its wings.

In the next moment, the Purple Jade Condor’s speed suddenly exploded, becoming over twice as fast. Its figure turned into a purple lightning, diving at the Demon Eye Toad a few dozen meters away.

“Who knows if the Purple Jade Condor can land a hit on this damn toad…”

Zhang Che was standing far away, with the Gluttony Monkey by his side. The latter was wielding his bow, ready to fire a fatal shot at any moment.

The Demon Eye Toad let out another resounding croak. Its nimble body jumped, narrowly dodging the Purple Jade Condor’s dive. Its figure flashed, disappearing into the thick bushes.

Naturally, the Purple Jade Condor wouldn’t give up just like this. Its Wing Blade skill lasted for an entire minute. Thus, it suddenly changed direction, zeroing in on where the Demon Eye Toad disappeared, cutting down anything in its path, determined to find this ugly toad that made it suffer such a disgraceful loss.

For a short while, the plants in this area were in for a bad time.

The grasses, bushes, branches, as well as the lotus leaves, were shredded to pieces, strewn everywhere.

When the one minute was over, a wide circular area of about a few hundred meters radius was left in a desolate state, with not a stalk of plant remaining standing.

However, Zhang Che didn’t see any traces of the Demon Eye Toad. Not only that, not a single regular toad was killed during the Purple Jade Condor’s rampage.

The area was filled with pools of water. Facing the Purple Jade Condor’s attack, all of the ugly toads, including the Demon Eye Toad, had probably hid themselves in the water, so there weren’t any casualties.

This battle ended just as swiftly and abruptly as it started.

Currently, the bitter Purple Jade Condor was still circling around at a low altitude, letting out enraged cries from time to time, like how ancient generals tried to taunt their enemies into showing themselves in historical fiction.

Alas, the Demon Eye Toad seemed to understand that it was merely evenly matched with the Purple Jade Condor. There was no chance of it emerging victorious, and thus it decided to remain hidden.

Zhang Che focused his gaze on the swamplands, finally sighing after a long time. He recalled the Purple Jade Condor to his side, maneuvering around this area as he looked to explore further into the swamp.

It was impossible for his party to kill the Demon Eye Toad today. This area was its territory; they had no advantage to speak of. If they were to remain stubborn, perhaps they might even get ambushed, putting their lives in danger.

“Just you wait, ugly toad. It won’t be long before I return. Hopefully you’ll still be here waiting for me!”

Before they left, Zhang Che took another longing look at where the Demon Eye Toad disappeared, his gaze deep and cold…
