Chapter 142: Sudden Crocodile Attack (Part 1)

Mu's hands shone with dazzling gold light, sending forth beam after beam like golden arrows that scattered in all directions.

That was the starlight capable of annihilating even space itself! It was his ultimate technique!

Rumble!

The violent bear, the roaring wave hurricane, and the golden light collided, sending out intense shockwaves in all directions. For a moment, they were evenly matched, neither able to overpower the other.

"How is this possible?" Biann was greatly shocked.

Here in the Pacific Ocean boundary, under the divine suppression of Lord Poseidon, Aries Mu had actually used his own strength to withstand the combined attack of him and Io.

Even with the opponent wearing a Gold Cloth, he shouldn't be this strong!

Io, standing beside him, seemed to guess his thoughts and shouted to remind him, "It's that barrier from just now! The barrier neutralized a huge portion of our power!"

The defensive capability of that crystal wall was obvious to all. Even with the two of them joining forces, breaking that barrier would undoubtedly require a significant amount of energy.

This was the only reason Aries Mu had been able to temporarily block their combined strike single-handedly.

At the same time, sensing that the invisible barrier had been breached by the two Marine Generals, the surrounding Seamen swarmed forward instantly.

Unfortunately, although the crystal wall had blocked the two sides and prevented them from attacking, from another perspective, it had also protected them from Mu's slaughter.

As the crystal wall shattered and golden light radiated in all directions, the anxious Seamen were caught directly in the barrage.

"Ah—"

A chorus of miserable screams rang out. Under the illumination of the golden light, the dark green Scales worn by the Seamen shattered piece by piece, and they were mercilessly blasted flying.

Although they were not Mu's primary targets, every beam of Mu's golden starlight possessed the power to annihilate space. Even the remnants he casually diverted were more than enough to deal with these low-level cannon fodder.

High above the dome, sensing the shattering of the crystal wall and seeing the three powerhouses fall into a brief stalemate, a humanoid crocodile monster leaped down from the sky, charging straight toward the battlefield.

It had been observing for a while. Those two young miners had stuffed all the ores into their baskets.

The baskets seemed bottomless, piling ore upon ore, and it was impossible to tell how much was actually inside. All the monster needed to do was snatch either one of them to complete the mission assigned by Lord Sobek.

"Rampage!"

Gathering its Cosmo energy into both hands, it materialized a semi-circular axe-halberd weapon, held it horizontally in front, and aimed straight at the weakest, grass-green-haired boy.

"Watch out! An evil god's warrior has broken in!" Noticing the third party's intrusion into the battlefield and sensing that abnormal Cosmo presence, Mu hurriedly used telepathy to warn Yin Shiqi and Shun.

However, because of this split-second distraction, the golden starlight flickered with a momentary fluctuation.

Normally, such a fluctuation wouldn't matter much. But right now, he was locked in a stalemate with the two Marine Generals, and moreover, was gradually losing ground due to fighting two opponents at once.

This instantaneous fluctuation was a fatal flaw.

"You dare to get distracted at a time like this? Go to hell!" Biann seized the strategic opportunity and suddenly increased his power.

Io also matched him by tacitly boosting his Cosmo output.

Boom!

The pressure exerted by the violent bear and the wave hurricane surged drastically. The golden starlight dimmed for a moment before being abruptly crushed, triggering a terrifying explosion at the center of the collision.

Because his starlight had been overpowered, Mu was placed at an absolute disadvantage. The blast wave washed over him, sending him flying backwards.

"Mr. Mu!"

Shun felt a pang of anxiety and, completely ignoring what Mu had just said, immediately intended to go rescue him.

On the other side, Yin Shiqi also left his position, shouting a warning as he yelled, "Watch out for the sneak attack!"

Having been on the battlefield before, his psychological age was more mature than Shun's, preventing him from losing his composure. He had already noticed the familiar humanoid crocodile lunging from above.

"Holy Sword Slash!"

He channeled his Cosmo into his right hand, swung his palm-blade upward in a reverse slash, and instantly a silver sword Qi slashed toward the falling enemy.

Only then, seeing Yin Shiqi launch an attack toward the sky, did Shun notice a ferocious humanoid crocodile diving down from above.

Unfortunately, the enemy was moving at extreme speeds, far surpassing Bronze-class strength, and coupled with a deliberate sneak attack, it was already too late by the time Shun realized the danger.

He could practically smell the lingering stench of blood on the halberd in the enemy's hand.

Just as the enemy's halberd was less than a foot from the top of his head, a silver radiance rose from the ground, striking the ferocious crocodile squarely.

Clang!

The halberd was instantly split in two and dissolved in the humanoid crocodile's hands.

"Such a familiar attack style!"

The humanoid crocodile was startled, and immediately afterward, it was hit dead-on by the silver radiance.

However, the usual scene of being dismembered did not happen. The crocodile stubbornly endured the sword Qi and crashed straight into Shun.

Boom!

The crocodile plummeted with immeasurable momentum, gouging several cracks nearly ten meters long even in the hard Orichalcum ore ground.

Meanwhile, after the sweep of the golden starlight and the cleansing explosion of the three powerhouses, the remaining Seamen on the battlefield still charged forward undaunted by death.

"Get lost!"

Yin Shiqi flew into a rage. He had no time to tangle with these cannon fodder right now.

"Sword Web!"

He rapidly and continuously waved his hand-blades, weaving countless strands of sword Qi into a semi-circular silver web that originated from him and expanded outward in all directions.

The Seamen had no idea what was happening; some foolishly collided with it directly, while others unleashed various ultimate techniques to test it.

Whoosh!

The silver web passed through the bodies of the Seamen who tested it like an ethereal illusion, without a single moment of hesitation. The ultimate techniques used by the other Seamen met the exact same fate, passing through untouched.

Just as they thought this technique was nothing special, the Seamen who had been passed through by the silver web suddenly collapsed to the ground, turning into piles of finely chopped flesh strips.

The ultimate techniques they had used to test the waters shattered and exploded mid-air.

"Hiss—"

The few survivors in the rear gasped and hurriedly retreated, losing any remaining notion of touching that silver web.

It wasn't that they had never seen dead bodies, but they had never witnessed anyone die in such a miserable fashion.

No one knew what their unfortunate comrades, sliced into bits of meat, had experienced the exact instant the silver web passed through them.

And none of them wanted to find out.

Having urgently dealt with the surrounding Seamen, Yin Shiqi didn't pause for breath, bursting forth with extreme speed to run toward Shun on the other side.

"Holy Sword Stabbing!"

He held his palm straight like a blade, concentrated his Cosmo into sharp sword Qi coating his hand, and thrust it toward the humanoid crocodile pinning Shun down.

Gazing at the heavily wounded boy beneath its feet, the crocodile swallowed its saliva, hesitating whether to take a bite. Noticing a dangerous aura attacking from its side, it immediately shook its head.

"Forget it, that guy's hit on me just now hurt way too much!"
