233: Chapter 1: Fighting the Dragon-Horned Crocodile King

The journey was unimpeded, and Li Wuji's consciousness controlled Unit One to reach the Scarlet Swamp!

"Dragon Horned Crocodile King, this time you can't escape!"

The next moment, gusts of hurricane-force winds surged out from within Li Wuji's body, instantly dispersing the mist over the Scarlet Swamp.

The sight was not much different from last time, except there were fewer Forbidden Land Creatures.

However, these Forbidden Land Creatures were merely supplements to Li Wuji. With a thought, the hurricanes transformed into countless wind blades.

In an instant, wails filled the air; those Forbidden Land Creatures had no power to resist whatsoever.

Soon, all the Forbidden Land Creatures within sight were slaughtered, but Li Wuji's brows furrowed slightly.

"No Divine Souls?"

His intention was to absorb the Divine Souls of these Forbidden Land Creatures, but he didn't expect them to have none.

But before he could make another move, suddenly, a giant roar like a thunderclap came from afar, deafening and seemingly capable of tearing one's eardrums.

Following closely, a huge bloody light streaked towards him at an astonishing speed, with endless lightning flashing on its body, creating a vast and terrifying momentum.

However, Li Wuji stood fearlessly in place, allowing the terrifying bloody light to rapidly approach him.

"Human, you dare to challenge King, you are simply seeking death!"

Hidden within that huge bloody light was the Dragon Horned Crocodile King. At this moment, its eyes were filled with killing intent, and it opened its gaping maw, as if to bite everything in the world to pieces.

Li Wuji's eyes flickered slightly, and then his body became ethereal. The Dragon Horned Crocodile King's terrifying strike missed.

"How is this possible?"

A hint of astonishment flashed in the Dragon Horned Crocodile King's eyes, but soon its killing intent intensified.

The crackling bloody lightning on its body instantly surged, forming a massive energy ball that tightly enveloped Li Wuji.

Immediately after, a violent explosion dispersed the clouds in the sky and the blood mist below.

"Rumble!"

The entire world trembled. After the Dragon Horned Crocodile King landed steadily, it stared fiercely at the rolling thick smoke in the sky, seemingly already seeing Li Wuji's shattered corpse.

"This is King's territory. Do you really think it's your backyard?"

The thick smoke gradually dispersed, but Li Wuji's figure was not blasted into pieces as the Dragon Horned Crocodile King expected. Instead, he miraculously walked out slowly from within, his robes fluttering, untouched by a speck of dust.

His body was also surrounded by faint rings of spiritual light, clearly indicating that the previous explosion had not caused him any substantial harm.

"Dragon Horned Crocodile King, your methods seem to be nothing more than this."

A faint smile curled up at the corner of Li Wuji's mouth. His eyes seemed to be able to see through all illusions, looking directly at the Dragon Horned Crocodile King below, without any fear.

Seeing this, the Dragon Horned Crocodile King's eyes widened in anger, and two streams of hot air jetted from its nostrils. Its scales turned even redder with fury, as if each scale contained destructive power.

"You dare to underestimate King! Today, you will become King's meal!"

With a roar of anger, the double horns on the Dragon Horned Crocodile King's head flickered with thick bloody light, instantly emitting a powerful pressure that made people feel fear.

The next moment, a shocking scene occurred—the Dragon Horned Crocodile King actually transformed into a bloody lightning flood dragon, roaring up at the sky, its voice shaking the nine heavens.

It opened its gaping maw, revealing incredibly sharp fangs, and lunged at Li Wuji again.

Its speed was so fast, like a red lightning bolt streaking across the sky. Wherever it passed, space rippled, as if unable to withstand this terrifying power.

However, facing such a swift attack, Li Wuji appeared unusually calm.

He merely smiled faintly, and his body became ethereal again, dodging the Dragon Horned Crocodile King's pounce like a phantom.

Not only that, but lightning also flashed on his body. Purple lightning intertwined with bloody lightning, forming a shocking picture.

"Hmph, King wants to see how many times you can use such a bizarre method!"

The Dragon Horned Crocodile King was furious, with anger flashing in its eyes. It turned its body and lunged at Li Wuji again.

Its speed was even faster than before, even tearing space with bursts of sonic booms, the piercing sound echoing throughout the sky.

He appeared almost instantly above Li Wuji, a fierce aura rushing towards him, making one's heart palpitate!

"Die!"

A claw swiped out like a mountain, carrying sharp edges and pressing down on Li Wuji. Terrifying power permeated, clearly intending to directly suppress and kill Li Wuji.

"Just a Physical Body, I may not necessarily lose!"

Dark golden light shone on Li Wuji's body, seemingly condensing into a set of armor. He gathered strength in a punch and directly met that claw.

Two powerful forces collided in the air, erupting in a deafening roar, as if even heaven and earth trembled.

The Dragon Horned Crocodile King's claw, heavy as a mountain, clashed with Li Wuji's punch, which had gathered his entire strength, stirring up visible ripples that spread outwards, tearing the surrounding air to shreds.

Purple lightning and bloody lightning fiercely intertwined and wrapped around each other at the point of collision, dissolving each other, yet also stimulating each other, forming a strange and dangerous curtain of light.

This scene couldn't help but remind one of stellar collisions in the Universe, full of endless mystery and danger.

Li Wuji's dark golden armor shone with complex light during the collision. Each plate of armor seemed to contain endless power, resisting the Dragon Horned Crocodile King's assault, which was capable of destroying cities and pulling down fortresses.

"Crack!"

With a loud bang, the power of the two had made the space around them somewhat unable to bear it.

At the same time, the dragon horns on the Dragon Horned Crocodile King's head suddenly burst forth with dazzling light. The light surged like a tide, instantly enveloping its entire body.

Under the illumination of this brilliant light, the Dragon Horned Crocodile King's already enormous body actually began to swell again. Its muscles bulged, and veins popped, standing tall like a small mountain.

Seeing this, Li Wuji, who was standing opposite, his face suddenly changed, and he secretly thought it was bad.

Just then, the Dragon Horned Crocodile King fiercely swung its tail, carrying powerful force like overturning mountains and seas, directly smashing towards Li Wuji.

Li Wuji struggled to raise his left arm to block, but after a cracking sound, an irresistible immense force came through.

Although he tried his best to resist, he was ultimately unable to contend with this terrifying power.

Under the impact of this immense force, Li Wuji's body involuntarily flew backward.

His figure drew an arc in the air, moving as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he crashed heavily into the Scarlet Swamp below like a burning meteor.
