Golden Crocodile Douluo Descends

"I'm done, I'm done. I can't beat you."

Qian Renxue lifted a hand to block in a token gesture and withdrew all her attacks on her own.

Deep down, she was actually itching for more. She truly wanted to cut loose and have a real, solid fight with Ye Yun.

But then she remembered her current identity as an undercover infiltrator, and all that restless battle intent was instantly suppressed. She forcibly held down the urge to make a move.

Even so, the curiosity in her eyes only grew thicker as she looked at Ye Yun.

This brat was clearly just a half-grown little kid, yet after putting on that strange metal armor, his combat strength had shot up by more than just one level. Even she had found it extremely difficult to handle.

If that battle armor could be used by her, then even against a veteran Titled Douluo, she would absolutely have the power to fight!

Who knew what other good things he still had on him?

At that thought, deep in Qian Renxue's narrow eyes, a dense desire to conquer quietly rose.

Ye Yun, meanwhile, still felt somewhat unsatisfied. He smacked his lips and raised a hand to disperse the Assault Armor on his body.

With faint mechanical sounds of parts returning to place, the heavy metal battle armor peeled away layer by layer and returned to its normal state. He walked a few steps up to Qian Renxue and comforted her.

"It's okay, Sister Xue'er. You're already really strong~"

The corner of Qian Renxue's mouth twitched slightly. To think she would actually be comforted like this by a little brat...

Somehow, it felt like she had been looked down on...

Yet strangely, not only was she not upset at all, there was even a faint warmth in her heart, as if sunlight were shining on it.

She slowly rose and lifted a hand to tidy the dress that had become somewhat disheveled during the fight just now.

With all the sharpness in her eyes restrained, she put on a gentle, approachable look and spoke softly.

"Young Master, where will I be staying after this?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she immediately tossed out the idea she had long since prepared, her tone carrying just the right amount of gentleness.

"Why don't I move in with you? That way, I can take care of your daily needs at any time. It would be much more convenient."

Qian Renxue secretly felt pleased. This excuse was flawless; no one could find the slightest fault with it.

She refused to believe this kid could go without sleep forever! As long as she waited until the dead of night, after he had fallen completely asleep, she could secretly investigate and figure out the secret of that armor.

She had to understand exactly what kind of method could let a young boy erupt with such terrifying combat strength.

Ye Yun looked at Qian Renxue in her gentle big-sister act, his heart full of suspicion. He kept feeling that she was up to no good.

More importantly, if he really let Qian Renxue move in with him, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong would absolutely blow up. When the time came, they would definitely come over to make trouble every day. Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

"That probably won't work." Ye Yun shook his head decisively, his attitude extremely firm. "I'm used to living alone, and I don't really like being disturbed. Sister Xue'er, you should stay at the residence Uncle Ning arranged for you."

The gentle smile on Qian Renxue's face stiffened for an instant, and a trace of disappointment flashed through her eyes. She quickly hid it away, putting on a helpless expression as she replied softly, "All right..."

It seemed the plan to investigate him up close would not work.

But it did not matter. If she could not live with him, then she would simply visit more often. Sooner or later, she would find a chance to uncover the secrets on this kid!

Just then.

A furious roar suddenly came from the sky.

"Second soul skill! Fierce Golden Crocodile!"

Almost at the same time, an extremely ferocious fluctuation of soul power swept over.

Qian Renxue and Ye Yun instinctively looked up, only to see an incomparably massive golden crocodile lunging toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Qian Renxue's pupils shrank. She immediately recognized who it was.

That was her second grandfather, Golden Crocodile Douluo.

But why would the old man come here? And why would he release a soul skill to attack without saying a word?

"Stay here and don't run around. I'll go take a look."

Qian Renxue crouched down, pressed Ye Yun's shoulder, and gave him an instruction before anxiously running toward the sect entrance.

Ye Yun watched her receding figure and could not help frowning.

Had Spirit Hall gone insane? Were they going to flip the table outright?

Ye Yun took out the [Primary Pathstrider Experience Card] and also hurried outside the sect.

If this was just a probe, then fine. But if they had really come to destroy the sect, then he would not be polite either.

On the other side, outside the mountain gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Two figures came streaking through the air. They were none other than Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, who had rushed over at top speed after sensing the disturbance in soul power.

The moment the two landed, that terrifying soul power, as violent as a mountain flood, instantly rushed straight at them.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin's pupils abruptly shrank, and towering waves surged in his heart.

"His soul power level is far above mine! It's a rank ninety-eight Titled Douluo! Fengzhi, be careful!"

Chen Xin's voice carried an unprecedented solemnity as he shouted in a deep voice.

At the side, Ning Fengzhi did not dare hesitate in the slightest and hurriedly summoned his martial soul!

Brilliant, dazzling seven-colored rosy light instantly erupted from within him and enveloped the entire field.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile True Body!"

The translucent phantom of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda hovered above his head, and several rays of light instantly blessed Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

Their speed, strength, soul power, and defense surged in every aspect!

"Seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body!"

Two powerful shouts rang out almost at the same time!

The instant they received the ultimate boost of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo both entered a do-or-die state.

Rumble--!

Towering sword intent shot into the sky. The phantom of a pitch-black Seven Kill Sword, hundreds of zhang long, stretched across the heavens, its sword force piercingly cold as it locked firmly onto the golden giant crocodile martial soul in the distance and faced it from afar. Terrifying sword pressure swept across the wilderness.

Bone Douluo Gu Rong moved, and countless pitch-black bone wings and heavy bone armor instantly unfurled, layer upon layer of skeletal barriers forming in an instant.

He immediately guarded the rear, firmly protecting the entire mountain gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, along with Ning Fengzhi, at the very center of his defense, blocking all the terrifying pressure leaking outward.

The instant their auras clashed, Sword Douluo's eyes sharpened fiercely. He poured all his soul power into the giant Seven Kill Sword and unleashed his trump-card killing move!

"Man and Sword as One! Ninth soul skill, God and Demon Dual Slash!"

An earth-shaking sword cry resounded through heaven and earth, and a terrifying sword force capable of cleaving mountains and severing seas suddenly erupted!

Two terrifying streams of sword qi slashed toward the giant crocodile.

The golden giant crocodile opened its huge mouth and bit down hard on the sword qi.

"Crack--"

"BOOM!!"

A violent explosion rang out, and a terrifying shockwave spread in all directions. The golden giant crocodile's power and the sword qi canceled each other out.

When the dust cleared, Golden Crocodile Douluo stood with his arms crossed, looking down from above at the crowd on the ground.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support ability is truly powerful. It actually allowed you to exchange one move with this old man."

Chen Xin's gaze was sharp, and he did not dare slack off in the slightest.

"You're from Spirit Hall? What, are you flying into a rage out of humiliation? Or is it that you people can't afford to lose?"

"Hmph. Angering this old man will do you no good."

Golden Crocodile Douluo wasted no more words. Soul power surged around him once more, dyeing half the sky gold, and within it, a golden giant crocodile the size of a mountain churned.

"Second soul skill, Giant Crocodile Strike!"

"Roar!!!"

The golden giant crocodile roared as it pounced toward Chen Xin.

Cold sweat slid across Chen Xin's forehead, and he was just about to take it head-on.

Just then, another soul skill landed on him, and a white bar also appeared above Golden Crocodile Douluo's head.

"This is..."

A flash of understanding crossed Chen Xin's eyes. This was Xiao Yun's break-support ability. Earlier, he had relied on this very ability when he heavily injured Old Bone.

As long as they completely depleted the white bar above the opponent's head, there would be a chance to turn things around!

"Old Bone!"

"Understood!"
