Chapter 315: Jiang Chen’s Rich!
Jiang Chen’s mouth also grew bitter when he saw that the fight between the two spirit creatures had escalated to this point.
To think that a saint rank creature and peak of the spirit rank creature had devolved to beating each other up like children. They were using the most basic, most shameless, and most primitive ways to fight now.
The Raven King pierced the air with shrill screeches as his two wings kept hacking every which way in the Firelizard’s mouth.
The Firelizard’s several meter long tongue was almost completed minced by now.
The enormous pain made it start spasming.
But even so, the Firelizard still grimly hung on to the Raven King’s legs and didn’t let go.
Legs pinned, the Raven King could neither advance nor retreat. There was nothing left for it to destroy in the immediate surroundings.
It was also apparent that the damage within its mouth wasn’t enough to immediately kill the Firelizard. If this dragged on and the Raven King was the one to run out of strength first, then he really would become food for the Firelizard.
The Raven King’s brutal nature fully emerged at this time.
He pushed off on his legs and snapped the tendons and flesh of his legs amidst a mess of bloody gore!
He folded his wings in a dive and streaked down the Firelizard’s throat, into it’s chest.
The Raven King had actually given up on his legs and crippled himself to dive into the Firelizard’s chest in order to give it a fatal blow.
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but admire the Raven King’s character and courage when he saw this.
He was also slightly delighted to see that the battle had developed to this point. He knew that his chance had arrived.
The Firelizard knew things had taken a bad turn when he discovered that the Raven King had forsaken his legs to dive into its body. It kept roaring and slamming its body on the ground, trying to shake the Raven King out of its body that way.
However, the Raven King’s target was clear. How was it possibly willing to come back out after it’d entered its enemy’s body?
The Firelizard’s harsh cries died down slowly as time went on. Its writhing, crashing body slowly quieted down into listless struggles until its breath finally stopped.
A pair of bloody eyes was still open despite being destroyed by the Raven King. It looked like it’d died with everlasting regret.
A spirit creature of the saint rank still hadn’t made it through in the end.
Jiang Chen’s heart was also pounding as he watched what had happened. A being as strong as a saint rank creature had seen its cultivation continuously dispersing at the end of its life and had been so helpless in the face of a life threatening disaster.
The cruelties of the path of martial dao were quite apparent. Even one as strong as a saint rank creature could be brought down by a group of beings inferior than it in moments of weakness.
“It looks like there is no realm of everlasting life on the path of martial dao. We are all as minuscule as the ants in the face of an overwhelming disaster.”
Jiang Chen’s emotions were also greatly shaken at this time, and he further reaffirmed his goal to pursue the paramount existence of martial dao. Only at the paramount existence would one enjoy eternal life and revel in the heavenly law.
A dragon swimming in the shallows would be teased by the shrimp, just as a tiger is insulted by the dogs if it goes down to the low lands.
This saying was fully illustrated by the Firelizard’s body.
Jiang Chen knew that his chance had finally come after watching for so long. He had been taking the risk in not leaving because he was waiting for an opportunity such as this to arise.
When a kingfisher and a clam were locked in combat, the one who benefited was the fisherman.
Jiang Chen strode out leisurely from the corner. His sudden appearance shocked the remaining Fire Ravens and they all started cawing.
The Firelizard’s last blow had destroyed almost all of the Fire Ravens. There were less than ten left and each of them was more or less injured.
These Fire Ravens were naturally of no threat to Jiang Chen.
He walked lightheartedly towards the Firelizard corpse as eight of them came diving down at him, as if he hadn’t seen them.
As the Ravens dived, eight vines, tipped by enormous fire lotuses, erupted out of the ground. The petals were as if large mouths, with each lotus devouring a Fire Raven.
Despite their level of cultivation at first or second level spirit realm, the Fire Ravens could put up no resistance whatsoever as they were devoured by the fire lotuses.
They didn’t even have time to caw out desperately.
Jiang Chen circled past the Firelizard’s body and released the Goldbiter Rat King. “Ole Gold, leave me the core and scales of this Firelizard. You and your tribe can have the remaining flesh and blood. By the way, this Firelizard is a saint rank creature.”
“What? A saint rank creature?!”
