Lying Low in the Martial World to Become a Saint-Chapter 107 - 90: Demon Sect

"ROAR—!!!"

A roar, muffled like thunder and filled with a tyrannical aura, exploded from the depths of the whirlpool!

The water’s surface violently erupted, and a behemoth burst forth!

It was a monster shaped like a giant crocodile, but its entire body was covered in dark green bone armor!

Its head was grotesque and covered in barbs. Its mouth was filled with sharp, interlocking teeth like daggers, shimmering with a sinister blue, venomous light.

A thick, powerful tail covered in bone spikes swept out like a great siege hammer, stirring up a foul wind and vicious waves.

Most terrifying of all were the several sharp bone spikes growing from its back, sending a chill through one’s heart and spirit.

"It’s a Bone Crocodile! Watch out for its back spikes and its tail!"

Yin Chenfeng’s expression changed drastically as he shouted a sharp warning.

As soon as the Bone Crocodile emerged from the water, it targeted the Treasure Fish squabbling over the food and the single Silver Carp!

It opened its massive maw, and a terrifying suction force formed a small vortex, instantly swallowing a Treasure Fish that couldn’t dodge in time.

"Attack! Kill the Exotic Beast first!"

Ma Hongyuan made a swift decision, knowing that if they didn’t deal with this Guardian Beast, all their efforts would be for nothing.

He was the first to strike. His Embracing Pill Realm cultivation erupted, and a bolt of Qi Force, so condensed it was almost solid, shot toward the Rotting Bone Crocodile’s head with a sound that tore through the air.

Ye Rong’Er let out a sharp cry. She unleashed a fierce Palm Technique from the Geng Metal Institute, the force of her palm whistling as it aimed straight for the crocodile’s eye.

Yin Chenfeng’s Yanling Saber transformed into a streak of chilling light, cunningly slashing toward the creature’s relatively soft underbelly.

Although Chen Qing knew the danger, he couldn’t stay out of it. He gathered the power of his Long Arm Fist, waiting for an opportunity to strike and disrupt the Rotting Bone Crocodile’s attacks.

The other masters also harassed it with attacks from the side.

For a moment, Strong Qi crisscrossed the air and monstrous waves surged!

The Rotting Bone Crocodile had thick skin and flesh, its bone armor provided astonishing defense, and its strength was terrifying.

Its tail swept out, directly snapping a Ma Family master who tried to get close in half at the waist. Blood and viscera sprayed everywhere!

Jets of water shot out, forcing everyone to dodge in disarray. A constable who was a step too slow had his arm pierced by a jet of water and let out a bloodcurdling scream.

The battle was exceptionally brutal.

Chen Qing, however, held back at all times, keeping himself in the safest possible position.

With everyone working together, relying on Ma Hongyuan’s powerful frontal assault and Ye Rong’Er’s agile distractions, they finally seized an opportunity—at the cost of the gruesome deaths of two Ma Family masters and one constable.

Yin Chenfeng risked getting close and stabbed his saber with unerring precision into the Bone Crocodile’s relatively vulnerable throat. At the same moment, seizing the chance while the crocodile’s head was pinned, Ma Hongyuan smashed a fist containing all his life’s power down onto the top of its skull!

"CRACK!"

The grating sound of bone breaking rang out.

The Bone Crocodile let out a final, unwilling screech. Its massive body crashed into the water, sending up a huge splash before gradually sinking.

"Whew!"

Everyone had just breathed a sigh of relief, not yet having time to rejoice over killing the Exotic Beast and obtaining the great treasure that was now within their grasp.

"Tsk, I was hoping to wait until after the Silver Carp laid its eggs to pull in the net. Looks like I can’t wait any longer."

A chillingly cold voice echoed from all directions!

From within the reeds, six figures emerged like phantoms, instantly surrounding the group.

The man in the lead was built like an iron tower. A hideous scar ran across his face and through his left eye. His remaining right eye glinted with a cruel, bloodthirsty red light, and a heart-pounding, sinister chill emanated from his body.

It was none other than the leader of the Seven Tigers of Yin Sha, Tu Gang!

Chen Qing felt that the situation had taken a bad turn and subconsciously retreated a few steps.

"Tu Gang!? You think you’re enough?" A cold sneer appeared on Ma Hongyuan’s lips.

The leader of the Seven Tigers of Yin Sha, Tu Gang, was at the Early-stage Embracing Pill Realm. With three masters of the same level present, what was there to fear?

Tu Gang’s gaze swept over the terrified Silver Carp swimming in the whirlpool, the greed in his eyes intensifying. "To thank you for dealing with that beast for me, I’ll see you on your way!"

Before his voice had even faded, Tu Gang’s figure vanished like a phantom, reappearing in front of Ma Hongyuan in the next instant!

There were no flashy moves, just a simple, brutal straight punch wreathed in dense black qi!

Ma Hongyuan roared, the Qi Force in his body surging wildly.

"BOOM!"

The moment their fists collided, Ma Hongyuan’s face turned deathly pale!

CRACK! SNAP!

A tyrannical Qi Force surged through Ma Hongyuan’s body. His chest roiled, and he spat out a spray of blood as he stumbled backward.

"Mid-stage Embracing Pill Realm... Th-this is the Infinite Demon Skill?!"

A look of utter horror appeared on Ma Hongyuan’s face.

"You realized it too late!"

The red light in Tu Gang’s right eye flared.

Taking advantage of the moment Ma Hongyuan’s True Qi was in disarray and his Heart and Spirit faltered, he changed his fist into a claw. His five fingers, like hooks, tore through the air with a black light that seemed to rip everything apart, and he viciously clawed at Ma Hongyuan’s chest.

"PFFT!"

Ma Hongyuan’s Protective True Qi, which was strong enough to block ordinary blades, was like paper before the black claw!

Tu Gang’s hand sliced through his chest like a hot knife through butter and instantly crushed his heart!

Ma Hongyuan’s eyes flew wide open, watching his own still-beating heart. His body then crashed into the water, splashing up a spray of crimson.

"The Infinite Demon Sect! Run!"

Yin Chenfeng was scared out of his wits. He let out a hoarse roar, no longer caring about any Silver Carp or Snake Saliva Grass. He turned and fled for his life toward the densest part of the reeds.

"Run!"

The constable and the remaining Ma Family masters were scared witless, scattering and fleeing in a panic like headless flies.

"Not a single one of you will escape!"

Tu Gang watched his prey scatter, as if looking at a flock of lambs for the slaughter. "Lao Si, Number Five, Number Six, go after those small fry!"

After speaking, he himself turned toward the pale-faced Ye Rong’Er.

Jiang Wu and Liu Cheng were petrified with fear. Seeing Tu Gang bearing down on them, they subconsciously prepared to jump into the water to escape.

"PFFT!"

A saber flashed through the air like a bolt of silk!

The second-in-command of the Seven Tigers of Yin Sha flashed past. The long saber in his hand drew a cruel, cold arc, and Jiang Wu’s head flew into the air! Scalding blood instantly dyed a large patch of the water red!
