Chapter 55: The Powerful Crab Beast (Part 2)

  The fifth watch

  ——————————————————————

  Yi Feng could have escaped long ago if he had wanted to. Since hunting the Crab Infant Beast was for Han Yan's sake, and he didn't feel bad about Han Yan, Yi Feng actually had thoughts of helping them kill this early-stage Crab Infant Beast.

  Not to please others, but because he likes to do so, a purely heartfelt feeling.

  The crab-like beast seemed to have had enough, and with a swing of its iron pincers, it smashed down. Guo Shixiong and Wen Shidi simultaneously retreated in shock, and where they stood, a loud explosion sounded, and the ground directly cracked open a trench nearly three feet wide.

  The entire island was under the pincers of the Crab-like Beast, shaking violently. This aura was enough to rival a Yuan Infant's initial stage cultivator driving a low-grade spirit artifact with all their might, not something that a Jindan late-stage cultivator could withstand.

  Guo Shixiong was the first to rise, a cyan light shot out from his body, and it was about to concentrate on the crab's abdomen, but it was knocked down by the crab's iron claw. Wen Shidi didn't want to fall behind either, so he drove his flying sword to attack, although he managed to hit the crab's abdominal armor, but after a flash of flames, he returned without success.

  The shell defense of the Yuanying period crab beast is comparable to that of a low-grade spiritual artifact, and when combined with its demon yuan force, even a mid-grade spiritual artifact attack may not have much effect.

  "Wen Shidi, this beast's defense is extremely strong. You hold it off with all your might for a moment, and let me launch the Wind Spirit Blade attack." Guo Shixiong and Wen Shidi attacked together for a while, but there was no effect at all. The crab-like beast seemed to be laughing playfully, with a sound like a baby's cry mixed in, making the two see that the gap was really too big. Guo Shixiong then instructed his younger brother.

  "Brother Guo, rest assured, I will do my best!" Wen Shidi replied firmly, but his heart was tangled. After speaking, Wen Shidi faced the Crab Infant Beast directly, and with a series of swift hand movements in front of his chest, three low-grade spiritual swords flew out from his body, combining with the flying sword he had been using to form a sword array.

  Four spiritual swords scattered in the air, emitting a shocking aura, and launched continuous attacks on the Crab Infant Beast. The sound of "ding ding dang" came from the beast's armor. However, sharp-eyed Yi Feng discovered that each time the four spiritual swords hit the Crab Infant Beast, they only left white marks on its thick and hard armor, unable to break through.

  The crab-like beast seemed to be quite annoyed by the disturbance of this sword array, its two giant pincers constantly flying about. Once it struck any of the spiritual swords, that spiritual sword would immediately dim for a moment, and after being struck several times, it would likely lose its power.

  However, even so, it is still possible to entangle with the Crab Infant Beast for a while, but only entanglement. Wen Shidi cannot expect his sword array to deal with the Yuanying period Crab Infant Beast, and it's just barely enough to deal with the Jindan later stage cultivator.

  While retreating to the back of the battlefield, Guo Shixiong held up his own spiritual sword, and on the tip of the sword, a light cluster like a cyan giant sun slowly appeared. Moreover, Yi Feng could clearly feel that there was a very mysterious fluctuation in the light cluster, and this fluctuation attracted the surrounding heavenly and earthly spiritual energy to swarm over.

  This is similar to the situation when Yifeng practiced the Xiao Ling Sword Technique and mobilized the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but the heavenly energy gathered by Guo Shixiong has only one attribute, all showing a light blue color.

  "Kid, think carefully and you might find it unexpectedly helpful in understanding the Starlight Sword Manual." Zhan Tian reminded Yi Feng at this time.

  Yi Feng listened and paid more attention to Guo Shixiong's movements, his own spiritual awareness surrounding Guo Shixiong's spiritual sword. After a while, Guo Shixiong finally gathered enough wind spirits, let out a loud shout in the air, and swung his long sword fiercely, a dazzling blue light with a long tail shadow flew straight towards the Crab Infant Beast.

  At this time, Yi Feng suddenly exclaimed with surprise: "I know! I know! It's like that!"
