Chapter 230: Chapter 230

After reading the information transmitted from the Jade Token, Zhao Letian quickly gathered his emotions and once again steered his flying sword, searching for other contestants while carefully inspecting every corner on the ground.

In this Slaughter Illusion Realm, any place might contain scattered treasures, just like that blue-robed man's Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, which must have been a martial technique he found.

"Is that? A storage ring."

After flying for a while, Zhao Letian suddenly spotted a black storage ring hanging on a tree trunk. His eyes lit up, and he quickly flew over to retrieve it.

"I really don't know who placed these things, to actually hang it on a tree trunk. If I hadn't coincidentally passed by here, how would a normal person ever think to look on this tree?"

Zhao Letian couldn't help but smile wryly, shaking his head as he slid the ring onto his finger.

Although this ring only had a space of one cubic meter, it was more than enough to store all the items on him, which greatly lightened his load.

After finding the storage ring, Zhao Letian flew for a bit longer when the Jade Token on his body suddenly emitted a series of urgent beeping sounds, like an alarm.

"Red dot? What is this?"

He took out the Jade Token to look, and saw that it displayed a small red dot, seemingly not far in front of Zhao Letian.

Carried by the curiosity in his heart, Zhao Letian turned into a beam of sword light and rushed forward quickly.

"Is that a demon beast?"

In no time, Zhao Letian arrived at the region where the small red dot was located. Looking ahead, he saw a lake that was not very large, with a giant crocodile more than thirty feet in length sprawled by the shore.

"This is a Two-headed Crocodile with the strength of the True Martial First Realm."

Zhao Letian observed it carefully and his expression immediately became grave.

The crocodile was pitch-black all over with hard, raised Scale Armor covering its body. Apart from the huge head at the front, there was another slender head on its tail, much like a venomous snake.

As is commonly known, the strength of a demon beast is often much stronger than that of a human of the same stage, and this Two-headed Crocodile was among the elite of its rank, fully capable of contending with a human Martial Artist of the True Martial Second Realm, and even for a human Martial Artist of the True Martial Third Realm, it would not be easy to deal with.

Therefore, unless it was necessary, Zhao Letian absolutely did not want to provoke it.

"But since it appeared on the Jade Token, there must be some reason."

Zhao Letian did not rush to leave but instead focused on observing the Two-headed Crocodile that was sound asleep.

He believed that if this demon beast was of no use, the Jade Token would definitely not display it.

"What's that? A Jade Token, and a Spiritual Artifact too?"

After a short moment, the Two-headed Crocodile suddenly turned over, and Zhao Letian took a close look. Under its belly, it was actually pressing down on a powerful set of armor, as well as a dozen unused Jade Tokens.

"It seems that the purpose of this Two-headed Crocodile's existence is to guard the treasures here. To acquire that armor and Jade Tokens, one must get past it first."

A fiery light flashed in Zhao Letian's eyes. After thinking it over for a moment, a flash of Spirit Light appeared in his hand, and he took out a bow and arrow from the storage ring, notched the arrow to the bow, and aimed at the sleeping Two-headed Crocodile.

After aiming, Zhao Letian released the bowstring without hesitation, shooting the arrow toward the Two-headed Crocodile's head.

However, at that moment, the Two-headed Crocodile suddenly opened its eyes. Its long tail lashed out abruptly, as fast as lightning, and directly knocked away the arrow shot by Zhao Letian.

Zhao Letian didn't give the Two-headed Crocodile any chance to catch its breath, swinging his hand and launching a golden Swastika Palm Seal, directly blasting towards it.

The Two-headed Crocodile didn't dodge or evade, opened its enormous mouth, and actually bit the Palm Seal thrown by Zhao Letian to pieces.

"Step! Step! Step!..."

Following that, the Two-headed Crocodile swung its limbs, rushing towards Zhao Letian with shocking speed.

"What a strong beast, today I shall practice my swordsmanship with you, Flowing Cloud Sword, kill."

Seeing that his two attacks were ineffective, Zhao Letian was slightly startled, but he was not afraid. A sharp light flashed in his eyes as he took out a Spiritual Weapon Longsword and directly executed the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique to slash at it.

This mid-stage yellow-ranked Sword Skill, he had yet to have time to cultivate, and this was a perfect opportunity to properly train it. Cultivating in actual combat was even more effective.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!..."

Next, Zhao Letian's sword light was continuously unleashed, becoming more and more skilled, smooth as flowing clouds and water, bombarding the Two-headed Crocodile while using the movement technique Chasing Wind Steps to wander around, cleverly dodging the Two-headed Crocodile's attacks.

Unfortunately, his attack power at this time was very limited, only leaving shallow sword marks on the Two-headed Crocodile's body, unable to easily break through the Two-headed Crocodile's formidable defense.

Meanwhile, the Two-headed Crocodile was also continuously roaring in anger, sometimes pouncing to bite and sometimes swinging its long and slender-tailed head, fiercely lashing at Zhao Letian. Each attack contained powerful True Essence Power, and even though they did not hit Zhao Letian directly, the dispersed True Essence Residual Waves were still uncomfortable for Zhao Letian.

After fighting for a full hour, Zhao Letian's swordsmanship reached a minor achievement with greatly increased power, finally breaking through the Two-headed Crocodile's Scale Armor defense, making it bleed crimson blood.

The pained Two-headed Crocodile let out an angry roar, and its eyes suddenly emitted a blood-red gleam, entering a berserk state, immediately speeding up. Its thick tail turned into a blur, and struck Zhao Letian solidly on the chest.

The power of the Two-headed Crocodile was terrifying. Zhao Letian felt as if he had been hit by an iron rod, spitting out fresh blood and flying backward uncontrollably.

After steadying himself, Zhao Letian took out a bottle of medicine, consumed a Healing Pill, and once again brandished his sword, charging up to spar with the Two-headed Crocodile.

After another three agonizing hours, both Zhao Letian and the Two-headed Crocodile were covered in wounds. However, at this point, Zhao Letian's Flowing Cloud Sword Technique had finally reached a significant level of mastery. With sword in hand, he effortlessly unleashed powerful sword Qi, continuously leaving deep, bone-visible wounds on the Two-headed Crocodile.

In contrast, the Two-headed Crocodile's aura was weakening as the battle dragged on, already at its last breath.

"Thank you for helping me master the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, it's time to send you off."

Having fully grasped the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, Zhao Letian no longer felt any pressure facing the Two-headed Crocodile, so he delivered a sword strike that cleaved the Two-headed Crocodile's head, extracting a Demon Core from it.

"It's actually a three-star low-grade Spiritual Armor; this battle was worthwhile."

Zhao Letian picked up the armor and Jade Token guarded by the Two-headed Crocodile, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

Just then, an amazingly fast Spirit Light suddenly flew from the distance, landing directly in front of Zhao Letian.
