Chapter 409: Who Says There Are No Fire Attribute Spirit Beasts in the Extreme North Land? I, Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad, Am Here to Deal With Him!
Gold Crocodile Douluo reacted quickly. He pulled back his tail in time while the Dragon Slaying Saber was cleaving down, so his tail was not directly chopped off. It only received a very deep gash.
Even so, an expression of unconcealed astonishment still appeared on Gold Crocodile Douluo's face.
"What exactly is that saber?!"
He had never felt this way before. That saber seemed to completely ignore his defense. As long as it struck him, he simply could not block it.
One must know that even when he had faced Chen Xin's father's Seven Kill Sword back then, it had not been like this.
Coming to deal with Yu Tianlin, who wielded the Dragon Slaying Saber, could only be considered Gold Crocodile Douluo's bad luck.
Divine Artifacts usually possessed one or more special attributes, and the attribute of the Dragon Slaying Saber was specifically to restrain all Dragons below the level of the Nine Great Dragon Kings.
Gold Crocodile Douluo's Martial Soul, the Golden Crocodile King, possessed the bloodline of the Dragon Clan. It could be said that he had run straight into the unique attribute of the Dragon Slaying Saber, resulting in severe restraint.
It was only because Yu Tianlin's current cultivation was still quite far behind his that he could only rely on the Dragon Slaying Saber's advantage to create an opportunity to escape. If Yu Tianlin currently possessed cultivation above rank ninety, he would not be thinking about escaping. Instead, he would be attempting to slay Gold Crocodile Douluo.
Just as Gold Crocodile Douluo was shocked by the power of the Dragon Slaying Saber, Yu Tianlin did not hesitate at all. He rushed forward directly, brandishing the Dragon Slaying Saber and delivering a side slash, followed by a continuous series of attacks.
After the probing exchange just now, Gold Crocodile Douluo's wariness toward the Dragon Slaying Saber had reached its peak. For a time, he was restrained, unwilling to meet the attack head-on, and could only retreat and dodge continuously.
The scene looked as if Gold Crocodile Douluo had fallen into a disadvantage, with Yu Tianlin suppressing him the entire time. In reality, however, that was not the case.
Yu Tianlin seemed to hold the advantage, but because Gold Crocodile Douluo was now wary of the Dragon Slaying Saber, Yu Tianlin failed to injure him further. The two were currently locked in a stalemate, leaving Yu Tianlin with no chance to escape.
After temporarily forcing Gold Crocodile Douluo back with one strike, Yu Tianlin quickly pondered how to escape. Just as he was preparing to change his tactics, he suddenly sensed something.
Gold Crocodile Douluo was the same. He had clearly sensed it as well.
The ice and snow in the distance suddenly churned, and then a group of Spirit Beasts was seen rushing toward the location where Yu Tianlin and Gold Crocodile Douluo were fighting.
This group of Spirit Beasts numbered around two hundred and belonged to the same species. They were all toads with bodies as white as jade, but their eyes were blood red.
"Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad?!"
Upon seeing this group of Spirit Beasts, Yu Tianlin subconsciously blurted out the name.
The Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad was known as the king in the crevice of the Extreme North Land. Its most famous and strongest aspect was its poison. This type of Spirit Beast was entirely ice attribute, yet its eyes were strangely fire attribute. By alternating between its innate ice and fire attributes, it generated extremely potent venom.
Precisely because the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad contained the fire attribute, they were not well adapted to the environment deep within the Extreme North Land. They mainly operated around the outer region of the Extreme North Land, bordering the human world. That was why they had earned the title of king in the crevice.
At this moment, these Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toads were rushing toward the place where Yu Tianlin and Gold Crocodile Douluo were fighting for only one reason.
"Holy crap, this is incredible!"
Yu Tianlin did not know what to say.
He had used the Fire Attribute Saint Dragon Spirit Bone to isolate himself from the harsh cold of the Extreme North Land, confidently believing that no fire attribute Spirit Beasts operated here and that he would not attract any covetous attention. However, he had overlooked the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad.
Under normal circumstances, attracting a swarm of Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toads to attack would be a major blunder. But under the current circumstances, it might not necessarily be a bad thing for Yu Tianlin.
"Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad?"
Seeing a group of Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toads rushing toward him, Gold Crocodile Douluo could not help but frown.
Gold Crocodile Douluo had already figured out Yu Tianlin's capabilities. As long as he was careful of that strange saber and dragged the battle out, he would naturally be able to subdue him once Yu Tianlin's Spirit Power consumption grew too great. Who knew that a group of Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toads would suddenly appear now?
Regardless of what the two of them thought, the group of Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toads had already rushed over quickly.
In Yu Tianlin's perception, among these two hundred plus Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toads, around one hundred thirty possessed thousand year level cultivation, while the remaining seventy plus had reached the ten thousand year level. Among them, there was even a hundred thousand year existence.
Upon drawing closer, the blood red gazes of the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toads all focused on Yu Tianlin's waist, revealing expressions of greed.
However, they also sensed the power of Yu Tianlin and Gold Crocodile Douluo, so they did not launch a direct attack. Instead, under the command of the leading hundred thousand year existence, they first encircled the two combatants, then simultaneously released an icy mist.
Their cultivation levels were not low, and their numbers were considerable, so the scale of this icy mist was enormous. Once released, it immediately enveloped a large area, naturally covering Yu Tianlin and Gold Crocodile Douluo as well.
The moment he was enveloped by the icy mist, Yu Tianlin did not dare to be careless. He quickly activated his Thunder Domain, attempting to isolate himself from the invasion of the icy mist as much as possible.
The poison of the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad absolutely could not be underestimated. Setting aside everything else, just the toxicity of that single Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad with hundred thousand year cultivation surpassed Dugu Bo's. Not to mention, it had the assistance of two hundred clan members. Yu Tianlin was certain that if he accidentally succumbed to this poison, he would likely be unable to resist it.
Fortunately, Yu Tianlin possessed a Domain. Using a Domain to isolate poison was a very safe method. Before his Domain was completely eroded by the icy mist, he essentially would not be poisoned.
Yu Tianlin could use his Domain to block the poison, but Gold Crocodile Douluo did not have a Domain. However, given his profound cultivation, he naturally had methods to cope and would not be affected by the poison in the short term.
"Hmph!"
Within the icy mist, Yu Tianlin swung his saber down again. After forcing Gold Crocodile Douluo back, he intended to use the chaos to escape.
Gold Crocodile Douluo naturally would not stand by and watch this happen, quickly closing the distance.
And just at that moment, the group of Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toads surrounding them finally made their next move.
The thousand year level Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toads continued maintaining the encirclement and constantly released icy mist, while the remaining Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toads at the ten thousand year level and above, led by the hundred thousand year leader, directly charged into the icy mist and launched their attacks.
Melee. A great chaotic battle.
Yu Tianlin slashed at Gold Crocodile Douluo, and also slashed at the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toads.
Gold Crocodile Douluo attacked Yu Tianlin, and also attacked the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toads.
The Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toads poisoned Yu Tianlin, and also poisoned Gold Crocodile Douluo.
In short, it was a chaotic free-for-all, with everyone attacking everyone else.
Of course, the one who received the most attacks was still Yu Tianlin. The Fire Attribute Saint Dragon Spirit Bone attached to his waist was like an activated taunt ability. The Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toads were primarily targeting him, and Gold Crocodile Douluo was naturally doing the same.
However, the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toads seemed to think that Gold Crocodile Douluo was also trying to steal the Spirit Bone. Therefore, whenever he approached Yu Tianlin and launched an attack, the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toads would turn around and attack Gold Crocodile Douluo instead, indirectly helping Yu Tianlin.
