Chapter 1974: Chapter 1013: War of Attrition (2)
Under the impact of the shock wave, the Moluo Crocodile couldnât help but emit a low growl, evidently suffering intense pain.
Moreover, its enormous body was shaken back dozens of yards by the shock waveâs arrival.
Managing to stabilize its form, the Moluo Crocodile raised its head to look at Lin Tianming and the others outside, its eyes revealing a fierce red glow, as if wanting to swallow these human cultivators whole.
Although at this point, the Moluo Crocodile hasnât suffered multiple injuries from the battle.
Still, it has deeply felt the overpowering strength of Lin Tianming and his group.
Especially Lin Tianming, whose personal power threatens its life.
However, this is just the foundation; beyond this, it is currently trapped within the Earth Fiend Sword Formationâs barrier, constantly under the arrayâs suppressive force.
Additionally, the cloud summoned by another human cultivator is equally bizarre, able to exert strong pressure on it.
In this double suppression, the Moluo Crocodileâs strength is hard to fully unleash.
Perhaps realizing this, the Moluo Crocodile once thought its situation seemed far from optimistic.
Yet at this point, the only thing it can do is find any way possible to change the currently unfavorable situation.
Otherwise, if led by the nose and delayed longer, its predicament will only worsen.
Under such circumstances, the Moluo Crocodile grows increasingly vicious, its emanating aura becoming sharper.
Thus next, its tail swept out again, along with its massive body rushing towards the nearest sword formation barrier.
The Moluo Crocodile moved quickly, its extremely sharp claws mercilessly striking down just as it approached the barrier.
âBang!â
A loud crash sounded, causing the sword formation barrier to tremble again, accompanied by a shock wave spreading.
At this time, Lin Tianming struck immediately, unleashing multiple sword qi towards the Moluo Crocodile.
According to Lin Tianmingâs thoughts, though the Earth Fiend Sword Formation had stabilized significantly, it hasnât reached its optimal strength and naturally canât withstand multiple impacts from the Moluo Crocodile.
Moreover, the Moluo Crocodileâs strength is too formidable, its bodyâs power incredibly mighty, even a casual claw swipe could easily kill a Golden Core Great Completion Cultivator.
On this basis, he must quickly stop the Moluo Crocodile to prevent the painstakingly established Earth Fiend Sword Formation from being shattered by it.
With that purpose, Lin Tianmingâs attack came swiftly, multiple sword qi stabbing at the Moluo Crocodile from various angles, hoping to separate this demonic beast from the sword formation barrier.
As expected, as Lin Tianmingâs erupting sword qi approached, the Moluo Crocodile indeed felt immense pressure.
Next, if it continued to attack the Earth Fiend Sword Formation barrier, it would inevitably endure the full force of Lin Tianmingâs sword qi.
The Moluo Crocodile is fully aware of Lin Tianmingâs strength.
Faced with such an attack, even with its unmatched defensive power.
Attempting to withstand it unguarded, the Moluo Crocodile would still be injured, and it wouldnât be a wound it could simply ignore.
In this sense, presently the Moluo Crocodile has only two options.
Either continue attacking the Earth Fiend Sword Formation barrier or temporarily stop such assaults, focusing more energy on handling Lin Tianmingâs sword qi attacks.
Between these two options, the Moluo Crocodile quickly decided to first abandon attacking the sword formation barrier.
After all, Lin Tianmingâs attacks indeed pose a deadly threat; the Moluo Crocodile truly doesnât want to endure such impact, let alone get injured.
If injured, its situation would only become increasingly difficult.
Therefore, after pondering for a moment, the Moluo Crocodile made the most prudent choice.
Unfortunately, once it gave up continuing to attack the sword formation barrier, its assaults couldnât come together coherently.
As a result, even regard these findings as Lin Tianming disrupting its attacking rhythm.
Thus, once the Moluo Crocodile made its choice, it quickly started to retreat.
Meanwhile, the Moluo Crocodileâs sharp claws collided head-on with the sword qi, instantly producing a crisp explosive sound, then sparking a burst of flames.
Right after, a wave spread out.
Under this powerâs impact, the sword qi unleashed by Lin Tianming was easily crushed by the Moluo Crocodile, turning into spots of light scattered in the sky.
Although the Moluo Crocodile achieved its objective, its body was also shaken back by the shock wave, widening its distance from the sword formation barrier.
In this way, Lin Tianmingâs goal was actually achieved.
Next, Lin Tianming would exert further pressure on the Moluo Crocodile, while stabilizing the Earth Fiend Sword Formationâs operation, slowly exhausting it till revealing a fatal flaw.
By then, it would be time to deal a lethal strike to the Moluo Crocodile.
Fully understanding this, Lin Tianmingâs thoughts were clear.
And not just him, Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi on the other side were equally aware of this.
Thus, as Lin Tianmingâs previous attack subsided, the duoâs assaults struck again, using a front-and-back strategy, leaving no room for the Moluo Crocodile to breathe.
Though their attacks couldnât inflict fatal threats on the Moluo Crocodile.
Yet itâs undeniable, even with the Moluo Crocodileâs immense power, it couldnât entirely disregard them.
Under such conditions, facing Lin Tianming and the groupâs round-robin battle, the Moluo Crocodile couldnât create chances to break through the sword formation barrier.
On Lin Tianmingâs end, relying on the sword formation barrierâs suppressive force, he did not feel significant pressure.
The reason is also that most of the Moluo Crocodileâs strength was occupied by the trioâs attacks.
Conversely, the Moluo Crocodile continuously faced the Earth Fiend Sword Formationâs and Lin Tianyunâs cloud suppression, while constantly fending off Lin Tianmingâs strong and unexpected attacks.
In this scenario, right after ending one round of skirmish, the Moluo Crocodile must face another wave of assaults.
In this manner, despite the Moluo Crocodileâs strength, it couldnât soon escape the quagmire.
Time thus gradually moved forward.
Unconsciously, half a quarter of an hour passed.
By this time, the battle had lasted nearly a quarter of an hour.
During this period, both sides had unleashed more than a dozen rounds of attacks, yet neither gained absolute advantage.
But on Lin Tianmingâs side, the trioâs True Yuan Mana was draining considerably, with their overall state visibly declining.
This result was anticipated.
After all, fighting such a formidable Fourth Order demonic beast like the Moluo Crocodile requires strong energy for every attack.
After many rounds of attacks, their True Yuan Mana was already over half consumed, naturally impacting their condition.
Luckily, the covered range of the Earth Fiend Sword Formation kept shrinking continuously.
Currently, the barrierâs defensive power has reached a quite stable boundary.
Facing this outcome, Lin Tianming still felt very satisfied.
On the Moluo Crocodileâs side, through so many rounds of attacks, its injuries piled up more and more, although most are minor.
Nevertheless, accumulating them, the Moluo Crocodileâs condition and power are indeed somewhat affected.
Therefore, the Moluo Crocodile is now both shocked and furious, its state becoming increasingly agitated.
However, in the current situation, the biggest threat to the Moluo Crocodile has transformed from Lin Tianming initially, to the encircling Earth Fiend Sword Formation.
This is because, as time continuously progresses, the Moluo Crocodile can distinctly sense the changes happening inside the Earth Fiend Sword Formation.
Including the sword formation itself, exerting increasingly stronger suppression on it.
Based on this, the Moluo Crocodile understood that possibly the last straw for the camel would be this haunting Earth Fiend Sword Formation.
