"Dao-Splitting Golden Blade!"
Dazzling golden light tore through the colorful chaos of battle, glaringly brilliant!
The golden light swept up with the might to rend heaven, earth, and space. Everything in its path was cleaved apart, including the dense beast aura and towering waves.
Crack...
As the blade fell, the Crocodile-Headed Black Tortoise's protective beast power was sliced open with ease. A fissure several miles long, barely a meter wide, and unfathomably deep appeared across its hideous shell, which spanned thousands of zhang.
Clean!
Sharp!
Keen!
Xiao Ying's eyes lit up with delight. This was his first time wielding the Dao-Splitting Golden Blade and executing the blade art of the same name. Its power had certainly not disappointed him; it had even given him a pleasant surprise.
Given the Crocodile-Headed Black Tortoise's enormous size and exceptionally thick shell, such an injury was almost negligible. It had not even reached its flesh. Still, the shell's defenses were extraordinarily strong, and the Dao-Splitting Golden Blade had cut through beast aura, towering waves, and beast power before splitting the shell. That was already an extremely keen strike.
More importantly, Xiao Ying had handled this attack entirely on his own, without using any Witch Dao methods or drawing on Totem Power or formation power. Given the gap between his realm and the Crocodile-Headed Black Tortoise's, this result was enough to make him proud-and enough to frighten anyone!
Xiao Ying was pleasantly surprised, but the Crocodile-Headed Black Tortoise was terrified. It had never expected this antlike little speck to possess such incisive methods, capable of not only breaking through its defenses but even splitting its strongest protection, its shell.
"Aooo..."
Its hideous crocodilian head thrust forward, its eyes glaring viciously. A piercing, thunderous roar, like a crocodile's howl mingled with a tortoise's cry, rang out.
