Chapter 517 Bi Fang Soul Dispersal Technique (1/2)

The white claw marks on the crab's shell began to fade away. A few seconds later, it was back to normal.

Desolion frowned. There was no way it could penetrate the crab's defenses at its current power level. Even back in its prime, the crab would probably still give it a hard time. Though it had reached King-tier, it was still a long way from Emperor tier.

Despite being equipped with years of experience on the battlefield, there was only so much Desolion could do to it, especially against an opponent which was just as experienced as itself in the art of combat.

The Inferno King Crab was now swathed in flames. The inferno raging around it had scorched the desert red.

Gao Peng finally understood how this desert had come to be. The earth had probably been desiccated by this ill-tempered Inferno King Crab every time it threw a tantrum until the place was completely transformed into a desert, bereft of water and nutrients.

The crab angrily clacked its pincers at its opponent. Flames swirled around them in the form of a fiery cyclone that consumed everything in its path. A long tongue of fire lashed out from one of the pincers' maw. Flames cascaded from the crab's body on all sides.

The desert was instantly turned into a sea of fire, in the middle of which the Inferno King Crab held its pincers aloft like a pair of red-hot hammers.

Bam! The crab slammed its pincers against each other. Both of them seemed to be throbbing with heat.

Then it swung its red-hot pincers towards Desolion. The latter could feel an oppressive pressure weighing down on it as the crab's pincers drew closer. Desolion roared as it conjured multiple ice walls before itself in an attempt to block the crab's pincers.

However, the pincers managed to break through the ice walls with ease. Upon impact, they cleaved through the ice walls that the lion had put up before itself as if they were mere sheets of paper.

A sudden gust of wind blew around the Desolate Frost Lion, threatening to pull it towards the oncoming pincers.

Seeing that Desolion was in danger, Flowing Light launched itself across the desert to come to the lion's aid. It could see countless crimson lines bisecting the Inferno King Crab's body, one of which was positioned near the joint connecting one of its legs to its torso.

It lunged at the crab, blade flashing out. The tip of its blade broke through the crab's shell like a hot knife through butter.

There was a flash of red light. An unseen force seeped into the crab's wound. The Inferno King Crab, which was standing solidly on the ground like a mountain, suddenly tipped to the left.

This slight slant in the crab's posture was enough to deviate its pincers' trajectory by a few degrees. The pincers grazed past the Desolate Frost Lion as they fell to the ground.

Boom! A nearby dune was leveled by the impact.

The Inferno King Crab's pincers were wedged deep in the sand, which threatened to pull the crab's entire body underground.

It managed to pull its pincers out of the sand, but not before struggling for a bit. Thick streams of sand flowed down from them as they hung above its head once more.

Flowing Light immediately ran off as soon as its blade found its mark, then hid in the sand, safely away from the Inferno King Crab, where it continued watching the ongoing battle.

The Desolate Frost Lion had pulled itself away from the Inferno King Crab. Even though the crab's pincer attack had missed it by mere inches, the heat it gave off was enough to burn the fur on the lion's forehead and chest to a scorched black.

Before it could tend to its fur, the enraged Inferno King Crab was already charging towards it, holding its pincers up in the air menacingly like a pair of shields. They were, after all, its sturdiest weapons.

There was a sudden rush of air. Goldie, whose body had expanded considerably thanks to Flamy's repeated attacks, rushed forward to intercept the Inferno King Crab's advances.

Goldie now towered over the Inferno King Crab, which barely even had time to contemplate the appearance of its new opponent. The massive duck was able to catch the crab's pincers with its bare hands.

The Inferno King Crab's pupils shrank. It felt as if its pincers had suddenly hit something hard.
