"It's my turn."
Li Xuancang lunged forward, his left hand curling into claws as he fiercely gripped a gap in the giant crocodile's lower-jaw scales.
The edges of the scales were sharp as blades, cutting his palm until it burned with pain.
Yet he seemed completely unaware, his fingers digging even deeper, nailing themselves deep into the giant crocodile's flesh and bone.
"Roar!"
Pain-stricken, the giant crocodile thrashed its head madly, trying to fling him away.
Its strength was enough to shake mountains. Its tail lashed the river's surface, raising another tidal wave, and the entire river churned beneath its struggle.
Li Xuancang remained utterly still, gripping the giant crocodile with all his might.
His entire body hung from the giant crocodile's lower jaw as he clenched his right fist and gathered strength.
The golden treasure-light around his fist grew ever brighter, dazzling enough that none could look directly at it.
Hearing the terrified beastly roars erupt behind him, Li Canglang fled even faster.
"Xuan Crocodile Lord, I hope you survive."
He did not dare look back, instead erupting with even greater speed as he fled.
"This punch will send you on your way."
With a furious shout, Li Xuancang threw his right fist, smashing it into the giant crocodile's left eye.
There was no flashy angle, no clever application of force—just a brutal punch slammed into that dark-golden vertical pupil.
"Pfft!"
The eyeball burst, blood spraying out like a fountain and splattering Li Xuancang from head to toe.
"Roar!"
The giant crocodile let out an incomparably miserable scream. Its enormous body rolled wildly through the water, and the river's surface boiled completely.
Its demonic power spiraled out of control. Countless waterspouts rose from the river, dragging up mud and shattered stones, churning heaven and earth until their colors changed.
