Chapter 384 Chase and Counter-Chase
"It works!" Shen Rugo felt a little relieved.
As she continued to flee deeper into the canyon, she kept throwing out all sorts of strange and unusual runes.
"Mud Swamp Talisman!"
As it was running, the ground beneath the Sky-Splitter Crocodile's feet instantly turned into a sticky mud pit, from which it sank deep.
"Illusionary Talisman!"
Having just climbed out of the mud, the Sky-Splitting Crocodile lost sight of Shen Rugo again.
Shen Rugo was like a tireless rune launcher, combining and using various runes to make full use of the complex terrain of the canyon, fighting and retreating at the same time, and actually managed to contend with this behemoth in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm!
Luckily, no one was here; if anyone had seen this scene, they would have been stunned.
A ten-year-old girl, with a cultivation level of Qi Refining, fought a fierce battle against a raging Nascent Soul demon beast by relying on an endless stream of runes.
Each and every rune was an extremely precious and sought-after rune in the cultivation world of Tianyuan Continent, yet she kept throwing them out like trash.
The Sky-Splitter Crocodile roared incessantly, its overwhelming power rendered it irritable by the slippery little girl, causing it to howl repeatedly.
The canyon soon came to an end, with a steep cliff covered in vines ahead, offering no way forward.
Seeing this, a cruel glint of pleasure flashed in the eyes of the Sky-Splitting Crocodile; this little thief was finally doomed.
It took a deep breath, its chest bulged, and it prepared a powerful move!
However, Shen Rugo's face did not show despair, but instead revealed a smile of triumph.
Her choice to escape into this canyon was not a desperate act, but rather a calculated move!
Just as the Sky-Splitting Crocodile was about to make its move, Shen Rugo waved her hands, and dozens of talismans that had been prepared beforehand flew out from her sleeves, accurately shooting at the rock crevices, vine roots, and protruding rocks around the cliff.
These talismans are not of a single type, but rather contain five attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which are interconnected in terms of their energy.
"Five Elements Binding Spirit Array, activate!"
Shen Rugo let out a sharp cry and poured all her spiritual power into the array's core!
"Buzz!"
An invisible wave emanated from the cliff face. Dozens of runes scattered throughout the area lit up simultaneously, emitting a five-colored glow.
Golden light was sharp, green trees reached the sky, water rippled, flames rose, and earth and rocks rumbled!
Five-colored light intertwined to form a huge and complex net of light, enveloping the Sky-Splitting Crocodile that had rushed to the cliff!
This is not a simple stacking of talismans, but a talisman array, a formation built on the basis of runes!
The icy aura of the Sky-Splitting Crocodile, powerful enough to freeze a Nascent Soul, collided with the five-colored light net, like a mud ox entering the sea, only forming a thin layer of ice on the surface of the light net before being melted by the power of fire.
The massive body of the Sky-Splitting Crocodile suddenly stiffened. It felt as if it had sunk into an invisible quagmire, its demonic power sluggish and its movements restricted.
The five-colored net not only bound its body, but also continuously extracted and disturbed the demonic power within it!
"Roar!"
The Sky-Splitting Crocodile roared in shock and rage, struggling wildly. Its terrifying power erupted, causing the entire Five Elements Binding Spirit Array to shake violently, its light flickering erratically.
A fierce glint flashed in Shen Rugo's eyes, and without hesitation, she shot all of the last few most offensive runes at the belly of the Sky-Splitting Crocodile, which was the weakest point in the defense of most crocodile-type demonic beasts!
"Ice Cone Talisman!"
"Ice Cone Talisman!"
"Ice Cone Talisman!"
……
In an instant, this space felt like the Arctic, with temperatures plummeting and everything frozen solid.
Several beams of cold light shot directly toward the belly of the Sky-Hunting Crocodile.
These are Shen Rugo's most powerful runes right now, because each rune is infused with innate cold energy.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
……
Strange noises came one after another.
The seemingly indestructible scales of the Sky-Splitting Crocodile were torn open with small wounds!
Dark red demon blood seeped out!
Although the wound was insignificant to the massive body of the Sky-Splitting Crocodile, terrifying waves of innate cold energy invaded its body, freezing it solid for a time despite its continuous cultivation of ice-based divine abilities.
"Roar!!"
The Sky-Splitter Crocodile was shocked, furious, and terrified. Its demonic blood surged, and it went completely mad!
"Crack! Click!"
The light net of the Five Elements Binding Spirit Array could no longer withstand the pressure and exploded, turning into ashes!
Shen Rugo was thrown violently and crashed heavily into the cliff behind her.
"puff!"
Shen Rugo coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling as if all the bones in her body had fallen apart.
The Sky-Splitting Crocodile, having broken free of its restraints, stared intently at Shen Rugo, who had fallen to the ground. Its massive tail rose high and, with the power to shatter mountains and split seas, slammed down on her!
This strike contained all its fury and killing intent, enough to raze a hill to the ground!
There's no way to avoid it! There's no way to stop it!
Dying?
Do not!
Shen Rugo still has a trump card up her sleeve.
"Chirp!!"
A sharp, ancient, and majestic cry came from the sky.
Suddenly, a huge, ice-blue phoenix appeared out of thin air and pecked at the Sky-Splitting Crocodile.
"A Primordial Ice Phoenix?"
The Sky-Splitter Crocodile had just swung its tail out when it suddenly froze.
In the blink of an eye, a terrifying bloodline suppression descended upon him.
Its tail, which it had just flicked out, quickly retracted.
Even so, the Ice Phoenix still pecked at its tail.
A click sounded.
Blood splattered as the rear half of its tail exploded, turning into a shower of blood-red ice shards.
Even the Sky-Splitter Crocodile was frozen stiff again.
"You little reptile, you hairless beast, how dare you oppose me, the princess? All I did was steal your ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow, is it necessary to hold a grudge?"
Besides, your ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow doesn't even compare to my Ice Phoenix. It's an honor that I even have my eye on your ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow!
Shen Rugo was overjoyed upon seeing this and shouted repeatedly.
"Hoohoho!"
Upon hearing Shen Rugo's words, the Sky-Splitting Crocodile, though unable to speak, understood the meaning and immediately cried out repeatedly.
That means, if you have such an ice phoenix, why did you steal my millennia-old ice water?
He yelled and turned to run away.
"Trying to run? Ice Phoenix, kill it quickly!"
With a thought, Shen Rugo sent the ice phoenix in the air chasing after the Sky-Splitting Crocodile once more.
She had to defeat the old crocodile to prevent it from chasing her again.
The Sky-Splitter Crocodile was so terrified that it fled in panic.
In an instant, mountains collapsed and the earth shook.
"You little reptile, where do you think you're going? Kneel down before this princess right now and swear an oath to the heavens to become her servant, or I'll turn you into ice shards today!"
Shen Rugo hadn't expected that the innate cold energy would bring her such a big surprise, and she shouted as she chased after it.
"No, don't do this!"
Lie Tian cried out in her heart, but unfortunately she couldn't speak human language.
"Break off the rest of her tail. I want to see you, you little reptile, turn into a tailless crocodile. Do you still dare to chase after this princess?"
Shen Rugo applied two more speed talismans to her legs, increasing her speed even further, as if she were riding the wind.
"do not want!"
The Sky-Splitter Crocodile was terrified, roaring in grief and anger as it frantically rammed around.
"What happened? That crocodile was actually chased and killed by this old monster who had reached the Golden Core stage?"
"Look at its tail! It's missing half of its tail!"
The fleeing cultivators quickly discovered this scene and were all speechless.
