Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 655 Crocodile Bear
The Light of Redemption rushed to Madam Xiyan's side and whispered, "Madam, are you alright?"

"It's just an external injury. Take some medicine and rest for a while, and you'll be fine."

"I have plenty of pills and potions here." The Light of Redemption reluctantly handed over a large quantity of precious pills.

"You're quite generous." Madam Xiyan was also surprised, as there were several kinds of pills that she herself was reluctant to use.

The light of redemption twitched slightly. Zhou Leng had already thrown the pill in front of him. How could he dare to ignore such a clear hint?
The Light of Redemption and Arjun took the place of the Qilin Wolf, dragging the heavily injured group towards Wanyun Mountain.

Zhou Leng ran all the way, observing the footprints on the ground, and capturing the Divine Beast to interrogate it.

Half an hour later, as they emerged from the red mist, they saw a massive, dark army of undead beasts surrounding numerous giants and some dragon undead spirits.

Further away, the piercing sounds of battle rang out, and a massive sword beam streaked across the sky.

The two sides in the battle are positioned on the left and right respectively.

On one side was a demigod beast, with the upper body of a giant bear and the lower body of a crocodile, four arms, and a height of about fifteen or sixteen meters, named Crocodile Bear.

The demigod crocodile bear is revered as the Crocodile Bear God.

This crocodile bear's divine aura was noticeably weaker; it had just advanced in cultivation. It possessed immense strength, but its movements were relatively slow.

Even at its slowest, the speed still exceeded eight times the speed of sound, surpassing Zhou Leng's current limit.

Opposite Crocodile Bear God, Li Shenkong's eyes were empty and blank. He gripped the sword hilt with both hands, raised it above his head, and held it high to the upper right. The tip of the sword pointed diagonally upwards behind him, which was the basic sword technique "Leopard Head Stance", as if holding his head.

The mighty Crocodile Bear God, when facing a high-ranking Grandmaster, actually revealed a faint look of hatred and fear in his eyes.

Its body was covered with large, cracked wounds.

The flesh inside the wound writhed rapidly, unable to heal, and glistened with starlight.

It occasionally let out a soft groan, enduring immense pain.

Crocodile Bear God was injured, but Li Shenkong was in even worse shape.

He was clearly wearing demigod armor, but the armor and clothes were stained red with blood, and huge wounds tore the armor and his body apart.

Each wound looked as if it had been cleaved open by a large knife, so deep that the bone was visible.

Within the wound, the power of magic potions and elixirs could be faintly seen, working tirelessly to repair it.

The largest wound grazed his abdomen, tearing him open.

The armor was split horizontally, and several severed intestines were exposed outside the wound, which was already half-healed, trapping the severed intestines.

Li Shenkong seemed oblivious, and had no chance to tend to his wounds.

Above his head, a second semi-divine artifact, a huge shield, was floating.

Zhou Leng glanced at the ground, where sword marks hundreds of meters long split the earth, and rows of densely packed sharp claws resembled ditches.

Based on the marks on the ground, it can be determined that Li Shenkong has already unleashed over a hundred sword strikes.

Zhou Leng nodded slightly.

A high-ranking grandmaster actually managed to hold out for over a hundred moves against a demigod.

The semi-divine artifact and the Starry Sky Divine Sword did indeed play a role, but his own strength and will were beyond question.

Not far away, lay the corpses of some alien giants, all cut into pieces by sharp claws.

"Zhou Lengge, run! Don't look back!" Huang Jinli's voice rang out from within the encirclement.

She had regained her giant form, her golden armor was cracked, and her original long golden braid was now disheveled and hanging messily down her back.

"Hurry up!" Shanhe Tianyue shouted.

At the same time, all the alien giants shouted and left.

Among the surrounded dragon god undead, there were also many dragon carp people, many of whom had seen Zhou Leng before, and they shouted for Zhou Leng to run away quickly.

Zhou Leng hesitated.

I have absolutely no ability to defeat a demigod.

Even if you have two complete semi-divine artifacts, there is absolutely no way you can kill a demigod.

Li Shenkong, who possesses the Starry Sky Divine Sword, is definitely stronger than me.

That's a divine artifact from the starry sky.

Even so, he has no chance of winning.

Staying here would almost certainly mean certain death.

But if you turn around and leave, you can't let go.

Humanity's first genius is here.

The giants' allies are here.

The mountains and rivers had saved him twice.

Zhou Leng looked up at Li Shenkong, who was staring at the Crocodile Bear God without moving.

He is Xu Ming's friend and fights alongside Xu Ming.

In the battle in the world of the Tree People, he led Xu Minglian to participate in the war.

It's unclear what his relationship with Xu Ming is like.

He and Li Shenkong were merely nodding acquaintances.

But if Xu Ming were here, and he entered the True King Trial with Li Shenkong, would he send voice messages to all his friends just like he did to him on the Great Battlefield?

"This young man named Li Shenkong is very important."

"He is the number one genius of the human race."

"If he ever finds himself in danger, I will do my best to help him. I, Xu Ming, will owe you a favor..."

Perhaps Xu Ming's message and his favor also echoed in Li Shenkong's martial arts records.

Zhou Leng finally understood why Xu Ming had said those things.

Because of this moment, because of countless possible moments like this.

"Xu Ming is very cunning."

Zhou Leng smiled slightly and stepped forward.

If there's no road, then forge one.

If you can't break through, then leave your mark on the ground so that future generations can follow this path and continue forward.

One day, we'll fight our way out.

"I am coming."

Zhou Leng's ordinary reminder echoed in the sky.

Li Shenkong stared intently at the Crocodile Bear God, his body motionless, and said, "Leave immediately! Cut off the road ahead..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Crocodile-Bear God pounced. His demigod instincts kicked in, seizing the perfect opportunity.

Zhou Leng activated his Starry Sky True Energy and roared.

"Crocodile Bear God! In the name of the Star of Desperate Death and the Vast Mountains, in the name of the True King of Giants and the True King of Dragons, I command you to cease your attack!"

When the names of the two great gods were announced, all the divine beasts trembled. Upon learning that Zhou Leng was the true king of both races, some of them actually stopped fighting.

The crocodile bear god stopped, turned its head and stared at Zhou Leng with its scarlet eyes, then opened its mouth and let out two loud laughs. Just as it was about to continue its attack, Li Shenkong swung his sword.

Crocodile Bear God has strong instincts, and Li Shenkong's talent is equally impressive.

A crescent-shaped sword aura, twenty meters high, flew out from the Starry Sky Divine Sword, slicing through the earth and arriving before the Crocodile Bear God in the blink of an eye.

The Crocodile Bear God dared not take the blow head-on and quickly dodged, but a large chunk of flesh was cut off from his shoulder.

After Li Shenkong swung his sword, he staggered, his feet feeling like they were stepping on cotton, and it took him three steps to regain his balance.

His body had reached its limit.

He lowered his head slightly, his bloodshot eyes rolled upwards, staring intently at Crocodile Bear God.

"Go!" he roared.

Zhou Leng slapped a piece of ice onto his chest.

The ice spread throughout his body, covering him in the blink of an eye and forming a divine armor of ice.

"Everyone, protect yourselves and the magical artifacts, and don't come near."

After Zhou Leng finished speaking, he raised a dense star core in each hand and headed straight for Crocodile Bear God.

"I am the messenger of His Majesty the Calamity Star Dragon. Anyone who dares to harm me today will be slaughtered by His Majesty the Calamity Star Dragon!"

The two dense star cores emitted blinding divine light, crackling and popping in Zhou Leng's hands.

Ordinary divine beasts below the Grandmaster level only glanced at it before their eyes split open and they fled with screams.

Upon hearing the words "Calamity Dragon" and seeing that it was indeed a power from a calamity-stricken area, the Grandmaster-level Divine Beast felt its entire body burning and stinging. Without caring about anything else, it turned and ran.

The giant within the encirclement was also swept along, forced to retreat continuously.

The invisible destructive star power shone on Li Shenkong and Crocodile Bear God, just like ordinary sunlight.

With a cry, the Starry Sky Divine Sword distorted the surrounding destructive stellar energy, causing Li Shenkong to dodge it all.

The Crocodile Bear God roared in a low voice, leaping and dodging wildly, but its whole body glowed with a faint starlight and its fur was on fire.

The exposed wounds slowly turned black.

Zhou Leng took out one dense star core or other gem containing destructive star power from the Starry Sky Bag and smashed it at Crocodile Bear God.

The Crocodile Bear God could only dodge and retreat, daring not to move forward.

Zhou Leng stopped after throwing the tenth stone, as Li Shenkong's Starry Sky Divine Sword seemed to be struggling to hold on.

The Crocodile Bear God fled a kilometer away, roaring and howling around the edge of the Destruction Star Force.

As a demigod, it wouldn't be killed by these destructive stellar forces.

But the name of the god and the threat of the calamity dragon made it panic.

Most fatally, many of his wounds could not heal, and when exposed to the destructive power of the star, they became permanently necrotic, resulting in enormous losses.

It glanced at the Starry Sky Divine Sword in Li Shenkong's hand, making no attempt to hide the greed in its eyes.

It clearly understood the value of the Starry Sky Divine Sword.

Once mastered, even if he wielded it haphazardly, he could become one of the strongest demigods in the Quanzhen Kingdom.

A mere upper-level Grandmaster can cross the two realms of Grandmaster and Grandmaster King to fight against a newly promoted demigod. Once the newly promoted demigod is obtained, wouldn't he be able to directly rival the demigod king?
He turned his head and glanced at the other side of the Divine Vein River.

Time is running out.

If he were seen by other powerful demigod beasts, he would lose the greatest opportunity of his life.

"Ow!"

He roared and charged straight at Li Shenkong, trying to snatch the Starry Sky Divine Sword.

Zhou Leng took a deep breath, and the Great Sun Divine Art circulated within his abdomen. The power of the giant and the power of the dragon god were like two accelerating planets, spinning wildly around the True Energy Singularity.

They strode forward rapidly, faster and faster.

Four times the speed of sound, four and a half times the speed of sound, five times the speed of sound!
The ultimate level surpassing even the highest-ranking grandmasters.

Gather your strength, then throw a punch.

Between Zhou Leng and the Crocodile Bear God, a vast and magnificent painting unfolds.

The eleventh move of the East Wind Fist is "A Thousand Instant Breaks".

With a flick of his wrist, Li Shenkong propelled the massive, moon-white sword forward, reaching the Crocodile Bear God at more than ten times the speed of sound.

The Crocodile Bear God was prepared this time and was about to evade.

boom!
The moon-white sword blade suddenly exploded into thousands, expanding into a wall of light blades that rained down on the Crocodile Bear God.

Caught off guard by a sudden change of tactics, Crocodile Bear God could only retreat with his head in his hands. Countless starry sky sword blades sliced ​​through his defenses, leaving behind huge wounds.

Zhou Leng delivered a powerful punch, arriving at the scene.

The cooperation between the two most outstanding Grandmasters of the human race was seamless.

The Crocodile Bear God suddenly swung his bear paw.

Zhou Leng punched him squarely in the palm.

Pale white shockwaves spread outwards, and the earth trembled like waves.

Zhou Leng was sent flying backward, spitting blood from his mouth, which fell into the air.

The crocodile bear god took a half step back, staring incredulously at his right arm.

Even if a Grandmaster is incredibly powerful, it's impossible for them to break through the Crocodile Bear God's formidable defenses with just their physical body.

However, martial artists are different; they can use force that can strike an ox from across a mountain.

The power of the starry sky is different, and the starlight veins are even more different. Both are powers at the demigod level, the very foundation of life in the starry sky.

Even though the Crocodile Bear was a demigod, and even though its skin was thick and its flesh was tough, a great deal of fist force and star power could still penetrate the demigod's defenses and invade its body.

Zhou Leng's fist force was so strong that it could tear apart the flesh and blood of the Crocodile Bear God.

Not only that, it also forms a strange force that prevents wounds from healing.

Seeing an opportunity, Li Shenkong was about to make a move when his body swayed, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, which he swallowed and began to gather his strength again.

“Woo…” Crocodile Bear God stared angrily at Zhou Leng, incredulous, then his eyes lit up.

Are there also celestial artifacts?
