Chapter 60 - The Croc Dragon’s Debt of Gratitude (2/2)

The Croc Dragon fluttered over with its wings, and it had the blood of a Jiao Dragon and Dragon. Its body was strong and huge yet agile. When the force of the gale around it tore into Zhong Yue, he nearly lost his footing in the air.

"Little brother Zhong, it's not that this Croc Dragon wants to kill you, but you have made enemies with the wrong person. I owe that person a huge debt, and I am only here to repay that debt."

The huge and humongous Croc Dragon pounced down onto Zhong Yue. Zhong Yue rapidly stomped the air to dodge away from it, he threw a punch at the monster beast's body, but its tough skin left it unharmed.

Zhong Yue was launched away from Croc Dragon by the reaction force. He quickly stomped his way up to the mountain, "Who asked you to do this? Croc Dragon, who wants me dead?"

The Croc Dragon was quiet; it fluttered its wings and flew up right toward Zhong Yue, in an instant, it passed him, and with its giant tail, it slammed down from the top right at Zhong Yue. It was too quick, Zhong Yue had no time to evade and was sent slamming right down toward the bottom of the mountain!

The giant crocodile inhaled a deep breath of air, sucking in all the surrounding air into its lungs. The resultant vacuum left Zhong Yue robbed of his footing as he finally plummeted down helplessly into the forbidden land that was eagerly waiting for him below!

"I'm sorry, but the debt I owe him is too great, I was forced to do this…"

The Croc Dragon flapped its wings and disappeared into the clouds.

Zhong Yue's face changed drastically, he stomped incessantly, but the raging storm was too strong. It pressed him down and rendered his efforts an exercise in futility. The steep slopes of the mountain flashed across became a blur as he continued to accelerate downward. The bloody flesh was exposed in the air without any skin, squirming like a repulsive bed of worms as the large veins pulsed, incessantly supplying them with blood.

On the surface of the slopes were engraved large bloody totem carvings that were emanating in faint glimmer of light. It was their presence that repressed the demonic aura and nefarious bloody flesh; the scene that was presented to Zhong Yue was indelibly blood-curdling.

As he plummeted down, the demonic aura in the air started to pervade his mind; heart demons began burgeoned within him, unleashing unbridled chaos in his psyche ocean.

Zhong Yue's emotions were slowly growing out of control, and his eyes were suffused with a bloody-red light, and yet, his thoughts remained calm and steady. The effect of the seals of gods repressed the inner evils and prevented him from being wholly consumed by the demonic aura.

The black haze that possessed the same appearance as the Devil Soul Yin Effluvium surged toward Zhong Yue. All of a sudden, Xin Huo leaped out from his psyche ocean and stood atop his shoulder. Light rays radiated out from the little flame, fending off the evil haze from Zhong Yue, even the demonic aura and the seal of gods were both cast away from the light barrier around Zhong Yue.

Dong——

Zhong Yue reached to the bottom of the mountain, unlike the usual ground that was paved with soils and rocks, this one he landed on was soft and fleshy—the bloody flesh meat filled the entire landscape.

As the light barrier emanated by Xin Huo cast away every other element around him, Zhong Yue could once again visualize the Sui Sovereign, smiting away the heart demons within him.

Thankfully Xin Huo is here with me, or otherwise, the black haze would have taken away my life.

Zhong Yue heaved a breath of relief, but that was not all, the air above him drastically changed as a huge boulder fell down toward him. Zhong Yue mustered all his strength and sprinted forward. His heart filled with shock and anger, This Croc Dragon noticed that I still survived and is still trying to smash me with a rock?

Boom!

A heavy load crashed down right behind him, Zhong Yue dodged the assault as he was on the verge of getting smashed into minced meat. He turned his head and cast his gaze toward the fallen rock. To his shock, it was not a massive rock, but rather, the Croc Dragon itself!

The giant crocodile's eyes were wide and glazed in disbelief, an unknown object pierced through its head, leaving behind a large perforation and a chunk of its brain missing—the Croc Dragon was dead!

Billowing waves of black haze engulfed the carcass, and in a trice, only its gray, white skeleton was left on the ground.

Zhong Yue's body shuddered in the cold, but his heart felt utterly frozen.

Croc Dragon tried to repay his debt by throwing me down from the mountain and let the black haze kill me. But the mastermind wanted no witness as well …

He looked up, but his sights were fogged, nothing could be seen other than the heavy black haze.

Could it be the Shui Tu Clan Qi Practitioner that summoned Junior Martial Sister Shui? No, it can't be, Croc Dragon owed a great deal to that someone. It came from the Lei Hu Clan and was brought here by the Lei Hu Clan. That particular person must be one from the Lei Hu Clan….

The image of the brawny Lei Hu Clan elder came into his mind, Spreading the word that I had the sword token to the disciples, instructing the Croc Dragon to kill me, then slaying the Croc Dragon right afterward. Sowing discord within the Swords Gate and conspiring with the demons—what are they trying to achieve?

The flesh meats squirmed around and latched onto the remains of the Croc Dragon, the giant skeleton slowly sunk into the meat, not long later, it would be engulfed by the flesh meat and all vestiges of the Croc Dragon's existence would disappear from this world.

Zhong Yue felt the flesh meats starting to creep over his feet, he quickly leaped into the air and tried to stomp his way out. A thousand feet into the air and suddenly, the totem carvings of the seal of gods gleamed. A large barrier appeared above him, forming a ceiling that pressed him down!

Zhong Yue groaned as he unwillingly fell back down!

The seals of the gods!

This whole place was engraved with the seals of the gods. One could only enter but not exit; it seemed like Zhong Yue would be trapped in here for quite some time....
