Chapter 54: Chapter 54: The Yellow Sparrow

That’s right, it’s the Intelligent Stone Monkey’s "Shift the Stars and Change the Dipper" Divine Technique.

Since it was performed using the Divine Command, its current power is limited, with certain distance and size restrictions. If you want to swap living creatures, the other party must not resist.

Chu Xuan had already communicated with his senior sister, so when she felt a force suddenly acting on her and trying to move her, she immediately drew her sword light to comply.

However, after experiencing it firsthand, Qin Mengyao was still surprised. This already involves the Great Dao of Space, and she didn’t expect that with Chu junior brother’s low cultivation level, he could perform it.

On the other side, as Xiao Yue said, the Poison Blood Profound Crocodile was not going to let anyone easily touch its wounds.

Ye Xingming was struck by its claw and spat blood as he flew back; fortunately, Qin and Chu rushed to his rescue in time, otherwise it would have been extremely dangerous.

At that moment, a lightning bolt as thick as a small water pipe suddenly descended from the sky, striking the fierce crocodile.

If it was still in perfect condition, such an attack would have felt like a tickle.

But now it had old and new injuries all over, and the lightning seemed to have a mind of its own, deliberately burrowing into the ripped wound on its abdomen, making it howl in pain!

Chu Xuan was startled, didn’t I tell you not to intervene?

He turned to look, and then he was stunned. Jiang Yiyi indeed hadn’t joined the battle; she was standing triumphantly on a large rock at the mountaintop, with her hands raised proudly.

No way, isn’t your attack range a bit ridiculous? It’s at least over three hundred feet, right?

The situation was critical; there was no time to ponder further. Chu Xuan followed his senior sister to continue the attack. They absolutely couldn’t let the fierce crocodile dive back into the swamp; otherwise, all their efforts would be in vain.

Ye Xingming gritted his teeth, wiped the blood from his mouth corner, swallowed a Healing Elixir, and charged back in.

Although Chu Xuan’s shifting divine technique saved people and Jiang Yiyi’s almost endless lightning interference, the fierce crocodile’s demon pill was frighteningly powerful. The three besieging it dared not make any contact; a mere miss would be fatal.

Therefore, after entangling and interfering for quite some time, the Poison Blood Profound Crocodile finally found an opportunity to dive into the black swamp.

Ye Xingming, pale-faced, felt somewhat desperate. If the enemy recuperates enough and emerges again, how could they possibly defeat it?

Qin Mengyao, on the other hand, was very calm. She took out another "Celestial Punishment Thunder," her last one and the final secret treasure on her.

After all, her goal has always been to challenge herself, not to rely on a massive amount of secret treasures, as that would make everything meaningless.

With the Celestial Punishment Thunder activated and shot, the fierce crocodile was forced to emerge in a sorry state.

At this point, its eyes held a trace of despair, and it seemed prepared to fight to the death.

Qin Mengyao signaled to her two junior brothers to be cautious, and gestured to Jiang Yiyi, reminding her to target the demon pill instead of fixating on the crocodile’s belly.

A light bulb went off for Jiang Yiyi: True, if hitting the body hasn’t worked, why not target the demon pill?

Thus, the situation changed again. Despite the "Celestial Punishment Thunder" being unable to shatter the demon pill, the toxic nature inherently feared the most righteous thunder.

Thus, after each bolt of thunder, the demon pill would shudder, not only slowing down but also having its highly toxic mist dissipated, leaving only its bare form.

Strangely enough, Jiang Yiyi’s lightning was incredibly precise, even from such a distance, it never missed.

Chu Xuan was now almost one hundred percent sure; this thing even had tracking capability.

Since the demon pill was connected to the crocodile’s mind, the Poison Blood Profound Crocodile was in excruciating pain from the strikes and had to swallow it back in; otherwise, it risked losing complete connection with this Profound Nether Poison Pill.

Once this trump card was gone, what’s left was just a slow demise by a dull blade.

Nearing the end, the fierce crocodile became ruthless, attempting to self-destruct the demon pill and take the group of cultivators down with it!

But it was too late. As it opened its bloody maw, Qin Mengyao, in perfect harmony with her sword, sliced upward, tearing open the large wound in its abdomen, ending its life decisively.

The Poison Blood Profound Crocodile’s blood splashed through the sky as its corpse plummeted to the ground, not only visible to Chu Xuan and his team but also to five people furtively observing from the valley entrance.

Yet they didn’t act rashly, because their leader hadn’t given the order.

...

"We won!" Jiang Yiyi jumped up excitedly, hurriedly pulling Xiao Yue to reunite with Chu Xuan and the others.

Ye Xingming nearly stumbled as he landed, barely able to stand.

It was evident that his magical power and stamina were at their limits, needing to sit down immediately and adjust his breath with pills.

Chu Xuan was in slightly better condition, but not by much. "Shift the Stars and Change the Dipper," even when aided by the Divine Command, still drained him a lot despite reducing exhaustion significantly.

Only Qin Mengyao barely retained her battle capability, but the consumable items she carried were nearly used up.

She smiled at the two arriving, nodding toward Jiang Yiyi, "Ancestor, we really owe it to you this time; otherwise, we’d be in danger."

"Oh, there’s no need to be so courteous. You’re all my disciples and grandchildren; how could this ancestor abandon you?"

Although Jiang Yiyi said this, her satisfied demeanor was plain for anyone to see; she was absolutely delighted.

She then deliberately sauntered over to the meditating Chu Xuan, seemingly hoping for some praise.

Xiao Yue, though joyful, looked at the Poison Blood Profound Crocodile with some sympathy, "I think it was quite unfortunate too, being inexplicably killed by us."

Qin Mengyao shook her head, "That’s because you didn’t see how many innocent corpses lie beneath this swamp. It killed people, then got killed itself; it’s the natural order."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue’s guilt finally eased a bit.

...

At the valley entrance, seeing the other side begin meditating for recovery, the sickly fourth person grew even more anxious. He urgently transmitted, "Boss, time is of the essence."

"If they continue to rest, we might not be able to keep them later."

The middle-aged man pondered, "They indeed don’t seem like those conventional major righteous sects."

Since the seventh person needed time to convey messages, discuss strategies, and stealthily approach this spot, they couldn’t witness the entire latter part of the battle, only the conclusion.

Of course, Jiang Yiyi’s performance was noted by them, especially given her distant lightning strikes.

But because the damage was quite low, they leaned toward the idea that this woman might possess a special physique, perhaps the "Body of Thunder," or something.

Yet the third person, with his gleaming eyes, roved excitedly over Qin Mengyao, Jiang Yiyi, and Xiao Yue, surveying them from head to toe.

He hadn’t expected that the three female cultivators in this team were all charming beauties, each with their unique allure.
