After all, there was still a considerable gap between their cultivation realms.
The Giant Crocodile Demon Beast's strength, defense, and control over the laws of water all firmly suppressed her.
Although Huang Yuelan's swordsmanship was exquisite and her Sword Intent fierce, she could only barely protect herself.
From time to time, she was grazed by the giant crocodile's attacks, leaving several wounds on her body and putting her at a clear disadvantage.
She kept weaving through the water, dodging and searching for opportunities to counterattack.
With every sword strike, she sought to be precise and ruthless, targeting the giant crocodile's relatively vulnerable eyes, mouth, nose, and other areas.
But the Giant Crocodile Demon Beast had extremely rich combat experience, and its defense was flawless, making it difficult for her to find a genuine opening.
The battle fell into a stalemate.
Time slowly passed amid the fierce battle.
In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
Huang Yuelan's clothes were torn in several places, stained with flecks of blood, and her breathing had grown somewhat disorderly.
But the light in her eyes had grown brighter and more resolute.
In this life-and-death struggle against a Late Heavenly God demon beast, her control over her own strength and her use of the Innate Sword Body were improving at an astonishing rate.
The cultivation power that had originally been somewhat raw now flowed smoothly and naturally.
Her understanding of the sword dao was also deepening continuously through actual combat.
Her sword grew faster, more accurate, and more formidable.
At the beginning, she had been entirely on the defensive, struggling to cope.
But gradually, she became able to seize certain opportunities and launch effective counterattacks.
Occasionally, the sword radiance she unleashed could even leave clear sword marks on the giant crocodile's hard scales.
