Immortal God of War

Chapter 629 - 610: The Emergence of the Crocodile Emperor_1

They all thought Qin Feiyang would kill Dongfang Wuheng this time. To their surprise, he was actually planning to let him go? When did this guy become so magnanimous?

Qin Feiyang smiled faintly. "This dagger cuts iron like mud; it’s truly a peerless treasure. Anyone would be tempted, so his previous actions are understandable."

"Huh!" The three were dumbfounded.

He’s certainly an understanding person! But why does it seem somewhat sarcastic?

Dongfang Wuheng also looked at Qin Feiyang strangely. Is this man okay in the head?

"Let him go. I believe he will repent this time." Qin Feiyang smiled at Dong Zhengyang, then lowered his head to look at Dongfang Wuheng and said with a smile, "Am I right, Senior Brother Wuhen?"

Dongfang Wuheng was taken aback and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes. I will definitely turn over a new leaf and start anew."

Dong Zhengyang glanced coldly at Dongfang Wuheng, then looked at Qin Feiyang and asked frowning, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Qin Feiyang nodded.

Dong Zhengyang said no more and retracted his Battle Soul. Since the one directly involved wasn’t pursuing the matter, if he, an outsider, insisted on it, he would seem overly meddlesome.

Freed from the Battle Soul’s restraint, Dongfang Wuheng stretched his limbs and bowed. "Thank you for your generosity, Junior Brother Qin."

Qin Feiyang said with a smile, "I’ve let you off several times. Make sure there isn’t a next time."

"Absolutely not, there won’t be a next time," Dongfang Wuheng said, waving his hands repeatedly in placation.

But he was still puzzled. What kind of trick was Qin Feiyang playing? He would never believe that Qin Feiyang was magnanimous. Back in State City, the Lu Family and Dong Family were exterminated merely for offending him. It’s clear he’s a ruthless character. Could it be that his mind really has a problem?

At that moment, Murong Xiong, who was a short distance away, also staggered to his feet, looking at Qin Feiyang in confusion.

Shen Long immediately pointed at Murong Xiong and asked Qin Feiyang, "What about him?"

Qin Feiyang laughed. "We can’t play favorites. Since we’ve forgiven Senior Brother Wuhen, we naturally have to forgive Senior Brother Murong."

"You’re letting him go too?"

Dong Zhengyang and the others looked at each other, their minds in turmoil.

Murong Xiong was also stunned speechless for a long moment.

Dongfang Wuheng coughed dryly and shouted, "Murong Xiong, aren’t you going to quickly thank Junior Brother Qin for sparing your life?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Murong Xiong, startled, quickly bowed and said, "Senior Brother Qin, thank you for not holding a grudge. Rest assured, I will fully assist you in the future and kill all invading enemies."

Qin Feiyang cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you for your support, Senior Brother Murong."

"Of course, of course," Murong Xiong quickly said with an eager smile.

Qin Feiyang said, "Let’s go and face that Black Dragon Snake again."

Dong Zhengyang shook his head. "With your injuries, I imagine even walking is difficult. I’ll go instead; you just wait here."

"Why should you go? If anyone, he should be the one. He’s the one who blasted it away," Shen Long snorted, glancing at Dongfang Wuheng as he spoke.

"Is there a problem with that? I’ll go. Murong Xiong, come and help me," Dongfang Wuheng said with a smile, then shot forward.

"Please wait a moment." Murong Xiong smiled awkwardly at Qin Feiyang and the others, then quickly followed.

Once the two left, Dong Zhengyang asked, "Qin Feiyang, what exactly are you up to?"

Qin Feiyang smiled. "When dealing with people, one shouldn’t be too extreme. Always leave others a way out."

"Psh!" Dong Zhengyang and the others couldn’t help but show their disdain.

If these words had come from someone else, they might have believed them. But from Qin Feiyang? They’d sooner believe in ghosts.

However, since Qin Feiyang didn’t want to say, they didn’t press him.

"Brother Qin, you didn’t seem worried at all when Dongfang Wuheng lunged for the dagger just now?" Jian Wei asked suspiciously.

"That dagger is sentient. It has accompanied him in battle for many years and has long recognized him as its master. With just a thought, it returns to his hand. What does he have to worry about?" Dong Zhengyang pouted.

"So that’s how it is." Jian Wei suddenly understood.

"Besides," Dong Zhengyang added, "if I’m not mistaken, he was just using Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong."

"Using them?" Shen Long and Jian Wei were puzzled.

Qin Feiyang glanced at Dong Zhengyang in surprise and said with a smile, "Why don’t you tell me? How am I using them?"

"Testing me?" Dong Zhengyang said. "Fine, let me tell you."

"In your current condition, even if the Black Dragon Snake’s Dragon Scales are destroyed, you can’t defeat it."

"So, you used Blue Snow to tempt Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong."

"You also anticipated that the Black Dragon Snake would definitely try to seize it. When those two and the Black Dragon Snake clashed, it would inevitably result in both sides being badly injured."

"And you just need to sit back and profit from their conflict."

"Am I right?" Dong Zhengyang concluded.

"Haha..." Qin Feiyang burst into laughter.

But this laughter tugged at his internal injuries, and blood began to seep from the corner of his mouth again.

He quickly stifled his laughter, wiped the blood from his mouth, and gave Dong Zhengyang a thumbs-up.

Dong Zhengyang’s intellect was indeed far beyond what Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong could compare to.

Shen Long and Jian Wei, standing nearby, were completely bewildered as they listened.

"I never expected there to be so many hidden schemes. You people are truly treacherous," Jian Wei said, shaking his head.

"Indeed. Compared to you all, Jian Wei and I are as innocent as children," Shen Long sighed.

Dong Zhengyang’s face twitched. "Are you indirectly calling us crafty?"

"You admitted it yourself; we didn’t say it," Shen Long chuckled, then added, "But just now, seeing you standing there clueless, I thought you were also coveting that dagger!"

Dong Zhengyang paused, then said with a wry smile, "To be honest, with such a sharp dagger, if I said I didn’t want it, would you believe me?"

"Huh!" Shen Long was taken aback.

Indeed, who wouldn’t want such a treasure?

"Then why didn’t you make a move?" Jian Wei asked.

"Didn’t I just say? Qin Feiyang only needs to think it, and the dagger will return to his hand. What would be the point of me making a move?" Dong Zhengyang chuckled. "Besides, you two are helping him. I wouldn’t dare!"

"Give us a break." The two of them couldn’t help rolling their eyes at him.

Back in the Inner Palace, their relationship hadn’t been this good. In fact, they had been more like competitors. But after spending this time together, they had subconsciously begun to consider each other friends.

Only the relationship between Qin Feiyang and Dong Zhengyang remained somewhat complex.

「Meanwhile.」

Wu Yan and the others inside the ancient castle grew even more wary of Qin Feiyang upon hearing this exchange.

He effortlessly outwitted Dongfang Wuheng. This level of cunning is truly terrifying! We absolutely cannot offend this person again. This resolve only strengthened in their minds.

BANG!

Suddenly, a deafening crash erupted not far ahead, followed by powerful shockwaves from a battle.

"They’ve engaged," Shen Long said, looking up.

"Don’t worry," Dong Zhengyang said. "With their strength, dealing with the current Black Dragon Snake is more than enough. The real concern is..."

"What’s the worry?" Jian Wei asked.

"I’m just worried they might kill the Black Dragon Snake. Because if Qin Feiyang subdues it..." Dong Zhengyang trailed off, as the implications were obvious to everyone.

Qin Feiyang’s brow twitched slightly.

But suddenly, his expression flickered, and he shouted, "Something’s wrong!"

"What’s wrong?" the three asked in surprise.

Qin Feiyang said, "Sense it carefully. The aura of the creature they’re fighting is very unfamiliar. It’s not the Black Dragon Snake!"

The three focused their senses, and their faces immediately filled with shock and doubt.

It indeed wasn’t the Black Dragon Snake!

The Black Dragon Snake’s aura was suffused with a dark, cold energy.

But the beast currently fighting Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong emanated a brutal, bloodthirsty aura.

Qin Feiyang said, "Let’s go and take a look!"

Dong Zhengyang immediately waved his hand, enveloping Qin Feiyang, and sped towards the source of the battle fluctuations.

Shen Long and Jian Wei followed them closely.

「A few dozen breaths later.」

The four arrived before a low mountain. The low mountain was about one hundred sixty to two hundred meters high and covered with dense vegetation.

But at the moment, the mountain was shaking violently, and chunks of rock kept rolling down.

The four exchanged glances, quickly scaled the mountain, and looked ahead from a vantage point. Their expressions changed dramatically.

Roughly two hundred meters ahead lay an enormous creature!

It was a colossal crocodile, over forty meters long, with a head resembling a dragon’s, exuding a terrifying might!

Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong, despite joining forces, were being relentlessly pushed back, covered in their own blood!

All around them, mountains crumbled and the earth split open!

The ground within a radius of a thousand meters was shaking!

"Dragon Crocodile!"

"Could this be the Crocodile Emperor?" Shen Long exclaimed.

"Nonsense, of course it’s the Crocodile Emperor! Quickly, analyze its cultivation!" Jian Wei said gravely.

"No need to analyze," Dong Zhengyang said. "It’s a Two-star War Ancestor!"

Shen Long and Jian Wei immediately sighed in relief. "Thankfully. Just a Two-star War Ancestor—not impossible to kill."

Dong Zhengyang turned to Qin Feiyang and said, "You wait here. We’ll go help."

"Be careful," Qin Feiyang advised.

WHOOSH!!!

The three charged out and headed straight for the battlefield.

Sensing their auras, Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong looked back, their faces lighting up with joy.

"Kill!" The moment Dong Zhengyang and the other two arrived, they unleashed their full auras and clashed with the Crocodile Emperor.

"You lowly humans! You don’t kneel before your Emperor, and you even dare to attack me? Such audacity!" the Crocodile Emperor roared, its colossal tail rising and smashing toward the ground.

BOOM!

Instantly, powerful shockwaves rolled across the area, and all five cultivators were thrown back, their faces paling slightly!

After Dong Zhengyang steadied himself, he shouted, "Unleash your battle techniques! Don’t hold back!"

BANG!!!

The five of them attacked in unison, instantly manifesting five powerful battle techniques that surged towards the Crocodile Emperor.

At the same time, Qin Feiyang was looking at the Crocodile Emperor in surprise. The Crocodile Emperor’s voice sounded like a woman’s?

So, this one is a female.

BOOM!

But, facing the five powerful battle techniques, the Crocodile Emperor didn’t retreat. It still swung its colossal tail to meet them, its power fearsome.

With an earth-shattering BOOM, the Crocodile Emperor’s massive tail split open, flesh lacerated, and blood gushed out like a waterfall, dyeing the sky red.

However, Dong Zhengyang and the other four were also sent flying, coughing up mouthfuls of blood!

What a powerful defense! It’s several times stronger than the Alligator King! Their pupils contracted. But this didn’t mean they couldn’t win.

The five regrouped and charged at the Crocodile Emperor once more, their killing intent surging.

For a moment, the area seethed with roaring Battle Intent, mountains collapsed, and the earth churned—a scene like the eve of doomsday.
