Chapter 234 Battle
Xiao Ling knew clearly that bloodline, if passed down for several generations in an ordinary family, perhaps some clues could be seen, but to be able to recognize it after thousands of years was simply a fantasy.
Just like Xiao Chen could identify Xiao Yan's Doudi bloodline, it was because the Doudi bloodline itself had extraordinary inheritance characteristics, and Xiao Yan had been baptized by Xiao Xuan's bloodline, which made the power of the bloodline manifest. The bloodline of an ordinary family obviously would not have such a significant feature.
After listening to Xiao Ling's explanation, the Abyss Water Crocodile King pondered for a moment, and seemed to think that what he said made sense. It recalled that the adult had mentioned that the conditions he set were extremely strict, and after such a long time, someone was able to break the restrictions on the map. Therefore, it was reasonable that he could not detect the expected blood aura from Xiao Ling.
The Abyss Water Crocodile King finally spoke, with a hint of determination in his voice: "Okay, I'll believe you for now. But if you want to obtain the inheritance of that adult, you must first pass me. Only after defeating me will you be qualified to move on."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Abyss Water Crocodile King's momentum began to rise steadily. Streams of water gushed out from the lake, surrounding it and forming a small whirlpool.
Its huge body sank slightly, and its claws on its limbs tightly grasped the ground, taking a fighting posture, obviously preparing for a contest with Xiao Ling.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling knew that he had to fight a battle, but facing the upcoming battle, he was not too upset. For him, a three-star Dou Zong, fighting against a sixth-level peak monster was just a piece of cake. He was confident that he could easily win without going all out.
Just as Xiao Ling was about to step forward to fight with the Abyss Water Crocodile King, Xiao Yixian took the lead and stood in front of him.
She turned to face Xiao Ling with a firm look in her eyes. She met Xiao Ling's somewhat surprised look and said, "You have always been protecting me from the wind and rain. Although I know that it is not difficult for you to deal with this demon beast, I also hope to fight this Abyss Water Crocodile King to test my own strength. So, this time, please let me do it."
Hearing Xiao Yixian's words, Xiao Ling's eyes quickly flashed with understanding, then he looked at her deeply, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Since you have this intention, then go. But remember, don't force yourself too much. If you get hurt, I will be worried."
After Xiao Ling agreed, Xiao Yixian smiled brightly and replied, "Don't worry, I will be careful. Don't underestimate me, I have worked very hard."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yixian took a deep breath, and Dou Qi surged around her. A pair of purple Dou Qi wings spread out behind her, gorgeous and mysterious. With a light leap, she flew in front of the Abyss Water Crocodile King, suspended in the air, confronting the huge monster.
The Little Medical Fairy stared at the Abyss Water Crocodile King and said firmly: "I will be your opponent this time. I hope you can go all out and let me see your true strength."
A strange look flashed in the eyes of the Abyss Water Crocodile King. It looked at Xiao Ling again. It had obviously noticed Xiao Yixian's willingness to challenge. Although it was puzzled about what these humans were planning, as a guardian beast, its mission was to fight with all its strength.
It could feel the high-level Douhuang aura emanating from Little Medical Immortal. Although it was not as powerful as itself, it should not be underestimated.
The Abyss Water Crocodile King, who had not exercised for a long time, also felt a little excited at this moment. It had been a long time since it had properly stretched its strength, and this challenge gave it a chance to release it.
The Abyss Crocodile King roared in a low voice, indicating that he accepted the challenge. His huge body squatted slightly, and the water around him began to swirl, forming a larger vortex. He had not fought properly for a long time, and the fighting instinct in his body was awakened at this moment.
Xiao Ling and other companions stepped aside to make room for the battle between Xiao Yixian and the Abyss Water Crocodile King. This battle was a test and an opportunity for Xiao Yixian. She needed to test her strength and growth through this battle.
As the roar of the Abyss Water Crocodile King fell, the battle was about to break out. As a poison attribute practitioner whose strength was her strength, Xiao Yixian knew that she couldn't let this powerful monster get close.
The purple fighting spirit wings behind her shook violently, and Xiao Yixiang quickly rose into the air, keeping a safe distance from the Abyss Water Crocodile King.
Upon seeing this, a cunning flashed in the eyes of the Abyss Crocodile King. It exerted strength with its limbs and rushed towards the Little Medical Fairy like an arrow, trying to use its agility and strength in the water to quickly shorten the distance between them.
However, Xiao Yixian was well prepared. She quickly formed seals with her hands and performed a low-level poison-attribute fighting skill, "Poison Touch". A faint purple mist instantly filled the air. This mist contained a strong toxin that even the Abyss Water Crocodile King did not dare to touch easily.
When the Abyss Water Crocodile King saw that the Little Medical Fairy did not engage in close combat with him but instead cast this strange poisonous fog, he immediately stopped his charge and instead controlled the surrounding water flow to form a series of water walls to separate himself from the poisonous fog.
Seeing this, Xiao Yixian's eyes flashed with admiration. This Abyss Water Crocodile King was indeed not to be underestimated. Its reaction speed and combat intelligence were very high, but her own methods also played a significant role. However, Xiao Yixian did not relax because of this. After all, when fighting with the same level, poison-type practitioners did not rely on burst damage as their strengths, and often required patience and strategy.
She continued to flap her fighting wings, moving flexibly in the air, while her hands continued to form seals, performing various poison-attributed fighting skills. For a moment, the purple poisonous mist spread out, forming a large net that surrounded the Abyss Water Crocodile King.
The Abyss Water Crocodile King felt the pressure. It knew it could no longer passively defend itself and had to find a way to break the poisonous fog of the Little Medical Fairy. It took a deep breath, then suddenly opened its huge mouth and sprayed out a powerful stream of water, trying to disperse the poisonous fog.
But the poisonous fog of Xiao Yixian was not an ordinary fog. It was extremely poisonous and even water could not easily disperse it. Although the water flow of the Abyss Water Crocodile King was powerful, once it came into contact with the poisonous fog, it was quickly corroded and turned into a pool of black water.
Xiao Yixian saw that the attack of the Abyss Water Crocodile King was resolved by her poison mist, but she did not relax her vigilance. Xiao Yixian knew that as a sixth-level peak magical beast that had lived for who knows how many years, the Abyss Water Crocodile King must have more powerful means that he had not yet used.
At the edge of the battlefield, Xiao Ling and others were concentrating on observing the fierce battle between Little Medical Fairy and the Abyss Water Crocodile King.
With a hint of curiosity, Qing Lin turned to Xiao Ling and asked, "Master, do you think Sister Xiao Yixian can defeat that Abyss Water Crocodile King?"
Zi Yan also cast a curious look, she had a deep understanding of Xiao Yixian's strength. Xiao Yixian and Zi Yan had sparred several times before, and both had their wins and losses.
However, Zi Yan knew clearly that the strange poison of the Little Medical Fairy was extremely difficult to deal with. If she were not a magical beast with a strong natural resistance to the poison, it would be difficult for her to withstand the attack of the Little Medical Fairy.
Xiao Ling watched the battle, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and replied: "The strength of the Little Medical Fairy should not be underestimated. Her poisonous body not only gives her a unique talent in cultivation, but also has special enhancements in her poison-related fighting skills. I think even a magical beast with extraordinary blood like the Abyss Water Crocodile King will find it difficult to deal with it easily. However, the outcome of the battle often depends on the on-the-spot performance of both sides, so let's wait and see."
Xiao Ling did not easily express his prediction about the outcome of this battle. Although he had a full understanding of Xiao Yixian's strength, the strength of the Abyss Water Crocodile King was an unknown to him. This rare magical beast was also the first time Xiao Ling encountered it, and he did not have a rough assessment of its combat power.
Xiao Yixian was already a leader among the same level, and her strength was rarely matched in the Douhuang realm. However, the Abyss Water Crocodile King was able to fight her on equal terms, and even had the upper hand, which was enough to prove that its strength among the same level of magical beasts should not be underestimated.
Without getting an answer from Xiao Ling, Qing Lin and Zi Yan did not continue to ask questions, but like him, they turned their attention back to the battlefield.
Above the lake in the valley, the battle between Little Medical Fairy and the Abyss Water Crocodile King became more and more intense.
As the battle progressed, the Abyss Water Crocodile King gradually gained the upper hand with its rich combat experience and profound cultivation. Its eyes were sharp and its movements were swift. Every attack was full of power and speed. Under its control, the water element turned into countless sharp water arrows and flew towards Xiao Yixian. Xiao Yixian was agile, and her purple fighting wings flapped, leaving afterimages in the air, skillfully avoiding every attack of the Abyss Water Crocodile King.
While dodging, Xiao Yixiang kept forming seals with her hands, performing various poison-attribute fighting skills, and launching long-range attacks on the Abyss Water Crocodile King.
Although Xiao Yixian's attack landed on the Abyss Water Crocodile King's armor-like skin, the damage caused was not as great as expected. But as the battle continued, her offensive gradually accumulated a thick layer of poisonous fog around the Abyss Water Crocodile King.
However, in this tug-of-war, even the most cautious practitioners could not avoid being careless. In a series of dodges and counterattacks, Little Medical Fairy finally revealed a tiny flaw.
The Abyss Water Crocodile King keenly sensed this opportunity. His eyes suddenly became sharp and he suddenly opened his huge mouth, and a water arrow shot towards Xiao Yixiang like lightning.
Sensing the approaching danger, Xiao Yixian quickly dodged sideways, but was still scratched by the water arrow on her arm, and blood instantly dyed her sleeves red. She clenched her teeth, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, knowing that she could not continue to be passive like this.
Immediately, a determined light flashed in the eyes of the Little Medical Fairy, and then she shouted softly: "Netherworld Sky Poison Realm!" Her ethereal and pleasant voice echoed in the empty valley, as if summoning an ancient power.
As she called out, the surrounding air began to twist and deform. The purple poisonous fog seemed to respond to her call, becoming thicker and slowly spinning, eventually forming a field of poisonous gas that trapped the Abyss Water Crocodile King in the center.
This is a domain-type, earth-level intermediate fighting skill, which is extremely powerful and can create a suppression effect in a certain area, leaving the enemy with nowhere to escape. However, its activation requires a prerequisite, that is, the area where it is performed must have enough poison gas as a basis.
Xiao Yixiu's previous attacks were not only to consume the opponent, but also to prepare for this final killing move, so that the poison gas could reach the concentration required to launch the field fighting skills.
Although the concentration of poisonous gas around her had not yet reached the peak value that Xiao Yixian expected, it was enough to unleash the Netherworld Poison Domain. She knew in her heart that the battle could not be delayed any longer and she had to take action immediately to seize the initiative in the battle.
As the domain formed, the toxins in the poisonous fog became more active, and they continued to erode the skin of the Abyss Water Crocodile King like tiny needles. Even the Abyss Water Crocodile King's armor-like scales could not completely resist this highly concentrated toxin.
The Abyss Water Crocodile King felt the intensity of the toxin in the area, and a trace of solemnity flashed in its eyes. After a fight with the girl in front of it, it could also sense that the toxin released by the girl was not simple.
It knew clearly that it could not allow Little Medical Fairy to continue using her poisonous skills and that it had to break this field as soon as possible.
Immediately, the Abyss Water Crocodile King let out a thunderous roar, and the water elements in his body began to gather, forming a huge water ball that wrapped himself inside.
The water ball circulated light blue light on the surface of the Abyss Water Crocodile King, condensing into an indestructible water shield. Under the protection of this shield, the Abyss Water Crocodile King rushed through the poisonous fog, trying to break through the constraints of the domain. Every time its huge body hit, the poisonous fog was shaken, and even tiny cracks began to appear on the edge of the domain.
Xiao Yixian was suspended in the air, her hands slowly pressed down, concentrating on controlling the operation of the entire domain. She tried her best to continuously inject the fighting spirit in her body into the domain to maintain its stability.
Fine beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead, showing the huge exhaustion this move had taken on her, but her eyes were firm and she showed no intention of retreating.
At this point in the battle, both sides have shown their true strength. Xiao Yixiang knows that this is the critical moment to decide the outcome, success or failure depends on this.
The Abyss Water Crocodile King felt threatened, and it struggled in the domain, trying to break free from the shackles of the poisonous fog. However, under the control of the Little Medical Fairy, the poisonous fog seemed to have life, constantly entwining and wrapping around it, making the Abyss Water Crocodile King's movements slower and slower.
Under the influence of the poisonous domain, the Abyss Water Crocodile King's movements became heavier and heavier, and its roar gradually became lower. Every struggle seemed to consume its remaining strength. The purple poisonous mist left traces on its body surface, and strange spots began to appear on its scales. The toxin was penetrating into its body.
The Abyss Crocodile King realized that if it continued to maintain such a stalemate, its condition would only get worse and worse, and it would eventually be exhausted to death. It had to take more decisive action.
The toxins that continued to accumulate in the area had begun to affect its body functions. A trace of determination flashed in its eyes, as if it had made some important decision.
Giving up on maintaining the water shield, the Abyss Water Crocodile King began to gather all the energy in his body. His body emitted a dazzling blue light, and the surrounding water elements gathered towards him frantically. The lake behind him felt his call, and the water surface began to surge, rolling up a huge wave.
With a roar from the Abyss Water Crocodile King, it poured all its strength into this attack. A huge column of water shot up into the sky, like a water dragon, with the power to destroy everything, and pounced on the Little Medical Fairy. This move almost exhausted all of its strength and was its last counterattack.
Facing this sudden attack, Xiao Yixian felt unprecedented pressure. She knew in her heart that this would be the moment that determined the outcome of the battle. She took a deep breath, concentrated her mind, and mobilized all the available poison gas in the field to form a purple barrier, trying to resist this powerful water flow.
The oncoming water column collided with the barrier formed by the poisonous gas, producing a huge energy explosion. Water splashes and poisonous mist filled the surroundings, shaking the entire valley.
Although the attack of the Abyss Water Crocodile King was powerful, the Netherworld Poisonous Domain of the Little Medical Fairy should not be underestimated. The power of the two intertwined in the domain, and eventually, the power of the water column began to dissipate, and although the poisonous domain was impacted, it remained stable.
After the Abyss Water Crocodile King had unleashed this final attack, his body's strength was almost completely drained. His limbs could no longer support his huge body, and he collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, with the light in his eyes dimming a bit.
Although Xiao Yixian barely managed to block the Abyss Water Crocodile King's desperate counterattack, she also paid a huge price. The fighting spirit in her body was almost exhausted, and her figure in the air began to shaky, and even maintaining the stability of her fighting spirit wings seemed to be a struggle.
When she finally landed on the ground, the tension in her heart loosened, and fatigue came over her like a tide. The little doctor felt a little weak under her feet, and her body swayed involuntarily, as if she was going to fall to the ground in the next moment.
Despite this, there was no trace of panic in Xiao Yixiang's eyes. She firmly believed that at the critical moment, there would always be a pair of strong arms reaching out in time to provide her with solid support.
Just as she expected, Xiao Ling, who had been paying close attention to the battle situation, noticed the subtle changes in Xiao Yixian and immediately rushed to her side, gently supporting her shaky body.
Feeling the familiar warmth, Xiao Yixian closed her eyes, relaxed her body, and leaned in Xiao Ling's arms, with the back of her head gently resting on Xiao Ling's shoulder. Her cherry lips whispered softly in Xiao Ling's ear, with a hint of playfulness: "How was my performance, was it outstanding?"
Xiao Ling shook his head helplessly, and at the same time used his healing ability. A gentle energy slowly flowed into Xiao Yixian's body, relieving her pain from the battle. There was a hint of amusement in his voice: "It's really amazing. You have made a great contribution this time. I will reward you well when I return."
