Skillful Play

Will we win?

Night, Heavy rain poured down from the sky, Inside the village, Han Qinhu led his team on patrol, his son Han Dayong following behind, clad like a tin can, silent.

He gazed at the wind and rain battering down, and the dark, heavy sky, His heart filled with worry.

It was no wonder Han Qinhu was worried.

According to the deduction of his grandson, Shen Changchuan, during the last ambush, the Crocodile Demon's strength was at least Qi Gathering Fifth Level or above.

And Shen Changchuan was only at Qi Gathering Third Level.

The previous ambush had barely inflicted any damage on the enemy.

This time, Although the fight would be on land.

Was it possible to win?

Regarding this, Han Qinhu was also unsure.

He could only do his best to prepare for everything he could.

After leading the team on a patrol around Great Bay Village, they found nothing unusual.

Han Qinhu's heart settled slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that tonight would pass peacefully.

However, Just then, In the rainy night, a figure, like a bat, darted rapidly through the low altitude, heading towards them.

Han Qinhu's heart tightened, As expected, "Old Master Han, it's here! The monster has appeared!"

The person who arrived panted, speaking in a low voice.

It was the person Han Qinhu had stationed at a high vantage point to watch the riverbank.

Han Qinhu's expression turned grim.

"Quick, go inform Changchuan! Everyone else, prepare according to the plan!"

At Han Qinhu's command, The personnel hidden in various locations began to act according to the pre-arranged plan.

Everyone quickly moved to their designated positions according to the previously rehearsed plan.

Preparing to set up an ambush.

However, Before they could finish their preparations, The Crocodile Demon arrived first!

The beast's speed was too fast. From the moment it was spotted by the lookout to its arrival at the outskirts of Great Bay Village, only about ten to twenty breaths had passed!

BANG!!!

A water jet as thick as a bucket suddenly appeared, like a cannonball, whistling through the air with terrifying power towards the back wall where the village's martial artists were hidden!

The entire wall instantly exploded, and the powerful impact sent two figures behind it flying several dozen feet, crashing heavily onto the ground, barely clinging to life!

A bolt of lightning crackled in the sky, Under the dazzling light, In the darkness, within the eyes of the colossal, pitch-black creature, a hint of human-like mockery could be vaguely seen.

"Damn it! It came too fast! Everyone be careful of its demonic arts!"

"All trap teams, activate!"

"Patrol team, charge with me! We must hold it off until the Immortal Master arrives!"

Han Qinhu roared, Then, he took the lead, raising a heavy shield, and charged towards the direction of the Crocodile Demon.

At the same time, Having received Han Qinhu's order, those hidden around, holding the trap switches, pulled them!

In an instant, A vast net sprang up, and huge falling rocks and rolling logs rumbled and flew towards the Crocodile Demon's location.

However, The Crocodile Demon paid no mind to the sky full of traps. With a gentle swipe of its claws, the net, tough enough to ensnare martial artists, was easily torn apart.

Tons of massive rocks rained down. The Crocodile Demon didn't dodge at all; they struck its head as if hitting steel, shattering like tofu.

With a gentle flick of its tail, the rolling giant logs were smashed to pieces!

Each meticulously prepared trap, which could have caused immense trouble for any martial artist, was torn and crushed like nothing before the Crocodile Demon!

The insurmountable chasm between mortals and Immortal Masters was displayed almost perfectly by the Crocodile Demon at this moment!

Roar!!!

The Crocodile Demon opened its ferocious maw and roared.

A terrifying surge of Yao energy swept out, causing every mortal present to feel a suffocating sense of pressure!

Many people involuntarily took a step back.

"Damn it! Attack together!"

Seeing this, Han Qinhu's scalp tingled.

He couldn't care about anything else, shouting to the patrol team behind him, who raised their massive, heavy iron shields and charged forward with gritted teeth.

However, mid-charge, before they could even engage, Boom!!!

Another thick water arrow streaked through the air. Its power was fierce and domineering, piercing the very air as it descended with the force of a tidal wave!

Han Qinhu, who was directly facing the attack, felt as if his breath was being choked out of him!

In the nick of time, Han Dayong behind him roared. The iron shield in his hand, weighing a thousand jin, whipped up a gust of wind as he slammed it in front of Han Qinhu, overlapping with his own shield for defense!

Bang!

The water arrow struck the iron shields. An unimaginable impact exploded, and the two layered, thousand-jin-plus heavy iron shields instantly shattered!

The terrifying force even crushed the armor on their bodies, sending them flying backward, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.

Seeing this, the other patrol members' faces showed sheer terror, and for a moment, they hesitated to advance.

Even with prior preparation, mortals and martial artists were practically useless against this true Yao Beast!

The Crocodile Demon swept across the battlefield, with almost no one its match!

The surrounding people looked at the massive, dark silhouette, their hearts filled with fear.

This was a Yao creature!

A Yao creature that ordinary people could not deal with!

"Everyone retreat, and take the injured to be treated!"

Just as despair gripped everyone's hearts, a voice filled with authority echoed through the rainy night.

It was as if an invisible magic dispelled the fear in the air, bringing a sense of calm to the surrounding people.

The Immortal Master had arrived!

The mortals and martial artists, who had been in despair, suddenly saw a glimmer of hope.

The oppressive fear and the taut atmosphere seemed to dissipate at this moment.

"Fall back, get further away, so you don't get caught in the crossfire."

Shen Changchuan instructed.

At the same time, his gaze fell upon his maternal grandfather, Han Qinhu, and his maternal uncle, Han Dayong.

Fortunately, Despite sustaining quite a few injuries, he was still alive.

"Your wish is my command, Immortal Master!"

The surrounding people cupped their hands in greeting and retreated, taking all the injured with them.

At this moment, The wind and rain grew more intense.

The Crocodile Demon seemed to recognize the aura of Shen Changchuan, who had injured it not long ago. A trace of crimson appeared in its pupils, and one could vaguely feel the rage churning in its eyes.

Enemy, Revenge!

It opened its massive maw, gathering demonic energy, and a ball of water appeared in its mouth.

The next instant, BOOM!!!

A water jet as thick as a bucket shot out, swift as the wind and fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, it swept across dozens of feet of empty space, crashing down directly towards Shen Changchuan!

The power contained within was so immense that even if steel were placed before it, it would be enough to shatter it!

However, Shen Changchuan stamped his foot, his figure moving like a phantom, lightly shifting several feet.

Almost in that instant, The azure water light broke through the air where Shen Changchuan had been, But Shen Changchuan's figure was already gone.

The attack missed, The water jet slammed into the houses behind, RUMBLE!!!

That water jet swept through everything. Wherever it passed, the wooden houses were split open with a huge gap in the middle, and shattered wood splinters exploded everywhere, ricocheting in all directions like bullets!

The terrifying power contained within the water jet even pierced through four or five houses consecutively before finally dissipating!

This power, It was truly terrifying!

But unfortunately, No matter how strong a spell's attack power was, if it didn't hit, it was meaningless.

"Your attack power is strong, but your spell's wind-up is too large and its speed is too slow!"

Not far away, Regardless of whether the Crocodile Demon could understand, Shen Changchuan said leisurely.

Long before he had broken through to Qi Gathering Fourth Level, he had told Han Qinhu that if the Crocodile Demon dared to come ashore, he was fully confident in forcing it back.

His reliance was the Light Body Technique, which had reached 100% perfection.

This spell, Greatly enhanced Shen Changchuan's agility and speed.

Allowing him to possess the ability to dodge the opponent's killing moves and kite them.

Naturally placing him in an invincible position!

And now, His advantage was even greater!

The Spirit Eye Technique, which had also reached 100% perfection, greatly enhanced Shen Changchuan's eyesight. It allowed him to better observe the gathering of demonic energy, thereby easily predicting the attack trajectory of the Crocodile Demon's innate spell!

With the Spirit Eye Technique, which could predict attacks, and the Light Body Technique, which greatly increased agility, working in tandem, If the Crocodile Demon had no other means, its fate was likely already sealed.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

The Crocodile Demon clearly hadn't sensed the shift in the situation.

Angrily, it unleashed three more water jet attacks, blasting towards Shen Changchuan's location consecutively.

The powerful force seemed to want to tear this two-legged beast to shreds!

But unfortunately, it still had no effect!

Using the cooperation of the perfect Spirit Eye Technique and Light Body Technique, Shen Changchuan's figure dodged the opponent's three attacks with ease, as if strolling through a garden.

At the same time, Shen Changchuan seized the moment when the Crocodile Demon was momentarily weakened after unleashing its innate spell and its demonic energy was depleted.

He counterattacked!

Wind Blade Technique: Triple!

With a raise of his hand, Shen Changchuan unleashed three Wind Blades.

Three consecutive cyan wind blades slashed out in succession, cutting through the air with a faint sound like tearing silk, flashing rapidly through the air.

The distance of over ten zhang was covered almost instantly, the sharp magical power attacks like indestructible blades, slashing onto the Crocodile Demon in a flash!

Chii!

Blood splattered, The sharp wind blades had cut through the Crocodile Demon's skin, which was harder than fine steel!

The Crocodile Demon let out a roar of pain.

Boom boom boom!!!

Several water arrows swept in again!

Shen Changchuan's figure flickered several times, turning into a series of afterimages, dodging the opponent's counterattack consecutively.

At the same time, The wounds on the Crocodile Demon's body split open due to the forced use of its innate magical technique, and more blood flowed out.

It looked rather pathetic.

But Shen Changchuan showed no excitement on his face; instead, his brow furrowed slightly.

"Its defense is actually this strong?!"

Shen Changchuan's expression showed a hint of surprise.

The ordinary Wind Blade Technique could already easily cut through steel.

The Wind Blade Technique at the perfect level was even more powerful.

Even though its power was only two-thirds of its full potential due to being cast instantly, that was three consecutive instant Wind Blade Techniques stacked together!

Yet, the result was merely a shallow wound on its body!

"This is a bit troublesome!"

Shen Changchuan felt that it was quite tricky.

His attack power was insufficient;

he feared there was a possibility of it escaping back!
