Chapter 1519 - 579: A Lazy Person’s Way to Kill
A large amount of blood sprayed forth.
Behind Yi Qianyu, a six or seven-foot long Azure Dragon Crocodile opened its mouth wide, biting down on one side of Yi Qianyu’s shoulder.
The Azure Dragon Crocodile weighed hundreds of pounds, with half its body already on land while the other half remained in the water, ready to drag Yi Qianyu in.
Yi Qianyu was scared out of his wits.
Once dragged underwater, he would have no chance of survival.
Yi Qianyu struggled with all his might, as the Soul-breaking Elixir’s power burned rapidly within him.
Under Ye Lingyue’s surprised gaze, he managed to escape the Azure Dragon Crocodile’s clutches.
The muscles and bones of his left shoulder issued a tearing sound, as a powerful burst of Primordial Power shocked the Azure Dragon Crocodile back into the river.
Yi Qianyu panted heavily, his left shoulder looking gruesome, as the flesh and bone were torn off leaving a large gap, instantly staining his body with blood.
Behind him, the Azure Dragon Crocodile, still relentless, appeared with scales akin to dragon scales overturned, infused with powerful demonic power. It surged onto the riverbank, emitting terrifying roars.
On the river’s surface, several Demon Crocodiles floated up, each crawling ashore.
As if commanded, they surrounded Yi Qianyu, blocking his escape route.
Yi Qianyu endured excruciating shoulder pain while dodging the frenzied attacks from the Demon Crocodiles.
He found it quite bizarre; were these demon beasts insane, only pursuing him?
He looked at Ye Lingyue once more and nearly gasped for breath.
He saw Ye Lingyue perched atop a large tree at the river’s edge, watching the spectacle as if enjoying a monkey show.
"What did you do to me?"
Yi Qianyu, utterly disheveled, dodged the Azure Dragon Crocodile’s chase, reflecting on Ye Lingyue’s previous evasive maneuvers and strange actions, realizing this woman had premeditatedly lured him here.
She knew there were Azure Dragon Crocodiles in this area.
Yet why were the demon beasts attacking only him?
Yi Qianyu recalled Ye Lingyue’s earlier "Flower Fist and Embroidered Legs," looking at his clothes to find suspicious powder where Ye Lingyue had assaulted him earlier.
"Nothing much, just some powder made from the blood of the Azure Dragon Mother Crocodile dried and refined,"
Ye Lingyue replied nonchalantly.
She’s lazy and isn’t interested in fighting desperately, but she’s adept at using others to kill.
A while back, she had disrupted the mating of the Azure Dragon Crocodile pair, exploded the heart of the Azure Dragon Mother Crocodile, and impulsively collected its corpse in the Life Qiankun Bag.
Back then, she was simply greedy, intending to sell some Azure Dragon Crocodile meat for extra cash.
Today, when Yi Qianyu interrupted her wealth, she remembered the heartbroken Male Azure Dragon Crocodile.
That creature couldn’t even defeat the Tiger-faced Leopard, Leopard King.
Ye Lingyue planned as she dodged.
Using the Elixir Puppet to distract the other two members of the Zhan Yue Team, she secretly extracted the blood of the Azure Dragon Mother Crocodile, refined it into powder, and during the previous attack, sprinkled it entirely on Yi Qianyu before feigning to lead him to the riverbank.
The dejected Male Azure Dragon Crocodile wouldn’t give up, once smelling the Azure Dragon Mother’s blood, it treated Yi Qianyu as a wife’s killer.
"You wench, I’ll kill you!"
Yi Qianyu’s eyes glowed red.
Surrounded by so many Demon Crocodiles, he had no chance to survive.
Without much hesitation, he grabbed all the Soul-breaking Elixirs hidden in his bosom and stuffed them into his mouth.
"I will kill these demon beasts, then kill you, you wench!"
The powerful effect of the Soul-breaking Elixir surged in his body, like a mountain flood rushing through, Yi Qianyu felt ecstatic. But suddenly, his arm twitched slightly, a massive amount of Primordial Power ran wild within, his eyes widened in shock as if discovering something terrifying.
"No..."
Yi Qianyu felt his organs overwhelmed due to the rabid Elixir Effect, as his body...
Bang—
Right under Ye Lingyue’s eyes, Yi Qianyu’s body exploded like a firecracker.
Limbs and remains scattered everywhere, ending in a fate without a complete corpse.
What is this?!
Ye Lingyue was also surprised, recalling Yi Qianyu’s earlier actions.
This rogue must have taken far too many Soul-breaking Elixirs.
The Heart Execution Grass was poison, someone must have warned him against consuming excessively.
Ye Lingyue pondered, perhaps someone deliberately supplied so many Soul-breaking Elixirs, waiting for Yi Qianyu to overdose and explode from the poison.
In any case, the nuisance Yi Qianyu was finally eliminated without much effort.
Yi Qianyu exploded suddenly, leaving the furious Azure Dragon Crocodile pacing around frantically, unable to find the breath-holding Ye Lingyue before dragging Yi Qianyu’s remaining limbs back to the river.
That giant, Ye Lingyue couldn’t provoke for now. Only after the Demon Crocodiles returned to the river did Ye Lingyue lightly descend from the tree.
Yi Qianyu’s corpse was thoroughly devoured by the Demon Crocodiles, leaving only some torn clothing, sparing Ye Lingyue the trouble of disposing of the corpse.
She circled the spot, somewhat regretting.
No trace of Yi Qianyu’s storage bag was found, likely dragged into the water by the Azure Dragon Crocodile with the severed leg earlier.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t matter, except Yi Qianyu might have the Zhan Yue Team’s Jiu Provinces Card, the Fifth-tier Representative Team’s Merit Points must be substantial.
However, this regret quickly dissipated; obtaining a Jiu Provinces Card isn’t easy, especially transferring so many Merit Points at once, along with Yi Qianyu’s unexplained disappearance, could arouse suspicion.
After all, the Merit Points for upgrading were nearly accumulated by selling Azure Dragon Crocodile meat. With Yi Qianyu dead, leaving the Zhan Yue Team leaderless, this exam, the Huangquan Team is sure to emerge as a dark horse.
Ye Lingyue settled her thoughts, turned to leave, intending to check on the other two Zhan Yue Team members taken away by the Vajra Soldiers.
At this moment, Ye Lingyue noticed evidence of something buried under the tree where she hid.
Earlier, she was engrossed in the spectacle without noticing, but now saw freshly turned soil, and beneath the yellow earth, a garment corner exposed.
In this area, encountering Demon Hunter corpses wouldn’t be surprising, yet demon beasts wouldn’t bury corpses.
Ye Lingyue decided to uncover the soil.
Beneath the tree lay a corpse.
It was the corpse of a Demon Hunter, and judging by the decomposition, buried recently.
"What’s this?"
Ye Lingyue covered her mouth and nose, inspecting the body and its numerous wounds.
She noticed the Hunter’s hair, skin, and bones appeared somewhat different.
Taller than average, hair unlike humans, yet the features unmistakably Human Clan.
Ye Lingyue immediately thought of the Vajra Soldiers from Xuanwu City?
But this place was far from Xuanwu City; Vajra Soldiers would never venture here.
"Master, this corpse is peculiar,"
In Ye Lingyue’s palm, the Cauldron Spirit spoke excitedly.
