Chapter 392: Miasma Frog and the Swamp Lizard King

However, their opponent didn’t go down without a fight. During their hunt, they chased their opponent over to a peak that was covered in colorful mist.

As seasoned cultivators, their instincts told them that the mountain peak was filled with dangers. When they tried to extend their divine sense into the colorful mist to inspect the area, they discovered that it was cut off abruptly before they could learn about the situation within.

The colorful mist seemed to separate the mountain peak from the rest of the battlefield between the two worlds to make it an independent space that stood strong on its own.

Looking at each other, Wu Tianfang and Huo Wuji saw the look of shock in each other’s eyes. However, they also saw the look of curiosity hidden behind it. They started to hesitate and wondered if they should charge in to uncover the mysteries within.

At that moment, Huo Wuji seemed to have caught sight of something. He discovered that there was a hill nearby that had been destroyed at an unknown time. They didn’t know when it happened, but they could tell that it was several short miles away.

From the ruins that remained, he could see that the top half of the hill was missing.

Huo Wuji seemed to have thought of something and he quickly took several steps back. Estimating the actual distance between himself and the destroyed hill, he stared at Wu Tianfang abruptly.

Wu Tianfang didn’t seem to have noticed the collapsed hill. Instead, his gaze was fixed on the mountain before him as he felt a sense of familiarity towards it.

When Huo Wuji turned to look at him, Tian Wufang felt his heart trembling slightly and the two of them seemed to have reached the same conclusion. “This… Is this the Yuxi Peak?!”

“It’s the Yuxi Peak and the Pinxin Peak!” After they spoke, they quickly turned to look at the mountain peak that was covered in colorful mist. It seemed as though the Yuxi peak in front of their eyes was the only remaining structure of the Tongyou Peak!

“What do we do now?” Wu Tianfang muttered.

Snorting coldly, Huo Wuji quickly broke down the situation. “The distance between this place and our new spatial tunnel isn’t considered too far. It’s not like this place is really secluded either. If we’re able to find it, the members of the Azure Spiritual World can do the same. Moreover, the situation is extremely chaotic right now and from the looks of it, the colorful mist around the Yuxi Peak makes things even more complicated. It’s not something the two of us can deal with along.” Pausing for a second, he continued, “We’ll retreat. Let’s make a report to the Martial Extermination Realm experts of the institution and get them to take a look at this after the situation stabilizes.”

Nodding slightly Wu Tianfang agreed. “That sounds like a good plan. Moreover, that asshole who ran in there probably had his fate sealed the moment he entered.”

Blackish-red blood poured out of the swamp lizard’s body before it fell back into the mud below. It was swallowed by the blackish mud that covered the marsh region and the stench of rotting flesh in the air became even stronger.

After killing two of the five swamp lizards, Shang Xia finally managed to break out of their encirclement. However, a strange light shot towards his back the moment he managed to find his footing again.

Shang Xia didn’t discover the hidden attack immediately, and by the time he realized what was going on, he could only swing his Scarlet Star Spear behind him desperately in an attempt to block the ray of light.

When his spear came into contact with the ray of light, he felt as though he struck a springy ball of rubber. He felt a huge backlash coming from his spear. However, instead of sending him flying backwards, the ray of light seemed to want to pull him towards its original location.

This amount of force…

Shang Xia gasped silently before releasing his spear altogether. In that instant, the spear was dragged away from him.

When the spear landed in the mud not too long later, Shang Xia made his move. Jumping into the air, he reached out to send a bolt of reddish-gold lightning bold towards his spear. It struck both the spear and the ray of light that dragged it away from him.

Crackle…

Making a pulling motion with his hand, the Scarlet Star Spear quickly returned to him. The weird creature or object that struck his spear earlier returned to the mud but before anything else could happen, a massive frog that was sixty feet tall emerged from the ground below. Huge swathes of mud and earth flew through the air and it rained back down on the land.

“Croak…”

When the frog croaked, Shang Xia felt as though someone had slammed a massive sledgehammer into his brain. The three swamp lizards that were injured from his sword formation earlier froze completely and their bodies turned stiff. From the looks of it, their mind was also affected by the croak and they fell unconscious.

Is this… Is this the Poison Miasma Frog?!

What the hell… It’s a rank four spiritual beast?!

Shang Xia didn’t hesitate. Enduring the pain that was threatening to tear his mind apart, he turned to leave. He flicked his wrist once and a Lightning Fire Jujube that was deep red in color appeared in his palm.

Turning to look at Shang Xia for a second, the frog decided not to waste its effort on the kid. After all, Shang Xia was like a teeny tiny little snack. Even if it wanted to eat Shang Xia, it might not be able to fill its belly. Instead, its tongue shot at the corpse of the swamp lizard Shang Xia killed earlier. In a smooth motion, it ate half the lizard.

The moment its tongue went to grab the corpse of the swamp lizard, Shang Xia caught sight of the weird object that tried pulling him in earlier. It was the frog’s damn tongue!

Heaving a sigh of relief that the frog was choosing to eat the swamp lizards, Shang Xia didn’t plan on staying. He continued to make his escape.

Behind him, the poison frog didn’t stop after eating the corpse. If continued to kill the three who fell unconscious when it appeared.

From the moment it appeared, the swamp lizards were unable to move. It seemed as though the Poison Miasma Frog was a true counter to those swamp lizards!

With a strange feeling overcoming him, Shang Xia slowed down to take a look behind.

Right as the frog swallowed those swamp lizards, a thunderous roar in the distance rocked the air and the rage contained in it rang clearly in the ears of everyone who heard it.

Leaping into the air, the Poison Miasma Frog jumped hundreds of feet out the moment it heard the void. By the time the soundwaves of the roar dissipated, the frog was nowhere to be seen.

Lowering his head slightly, Shang Xia grunted softly as a trace of hesitation flashed across his eyes. However, he quickly made up his mind and decided to run in the direction where the frog left.

Luckily, the frog seemed to be the overlord of the region and the path that it took seemed to be pretty safe. Shang Xia didn’t have to worry about running into dangerous situations when following the creature.

Despite not being able to see the giant frog, another loud roar came from the distance, pointing him in the right direction.

Fluctuations of heaven and earth qi came in that direction and it didn’t take long for the giant frog’s enraged croak to ring through the air. Shang Xia could hear the smoldering rage in its voice as it confronted the source of the roars.

From the shockwaves and fluctuation in heaven and earth qi, Shang Xia could tell that a battle between the terrifying frog and an existence of the same level had begun.

Was that the real reason why the frog allowed Shang Xia to leave? Did it already discover the presence of the other creature and was preparing for battle after replenishing its energy with the swamp lizards?

From the giant frog’s decisive actions of killing the three swamp lizards and the loud roar that followed soon after, it was very likely that the creature that the frog was doing battle with was a rank four swamp lizard!

Even though Shang Xia was busy letting his thoughts run through his mind, he didn’t forget to conceal his aura the best he could. Things might get messy if he was discovered by both rank four spiritual beasts.

Playing safe, Shang Xia chose to take a detour when he was closing in on the battle. Since he was close enough to determine where it was, he decided to approach it from another direction

When he finally approached the battle after taking all his precautions, a strange feeling filled his heart. As he extended his divine sense, the Crimson Soul Tablet in his sea of consciousness started to tremble slightly.

His movements turned a little sluggish when he felt the change, but he sucked in a cold breath the next second.?Did I finally find something useful?!

Raising his head, his gaze pierced through the thick miasma that covered the marsh. He seemed to have caught sight of a strange cloud floating in the distance but no matter how hard he tried after that, he couldn’t observe the contents within. Even so, he could tell that it definitely had something to do with the world origin since his Crimson Soul Tablet was acting up.

Not too far away from the strange cloud he was looking at, the battle between two rank four spiritual beasts were starting to heat up.

Shang Xia knew that the smartest thing he could do at the moment was to hide himself and wait for the battle to be over. If the two beasts could injure each other, he would be able to swoop in at the last minute and reap all the benefits. The only problem with that was that he would be forced into a passive position. He could only pray that the two rank four spiritual beasts would be crazy enough to go all out against each other.

After growing so much stronger, Shang Xia wasn’t the weakling he once was. He would avoid falling into a passive state and hoping for others to complete all the hard work for him. Moreover, with the intelligence of rank four spiritual beasts, they knew when to stop. Moreover, their grudge at the moment wasn’t intense enough that one of them had to die.

Also, from what Shang Xia saw earlier, the Poison Miasma Frog seemed to be a natural counter of those swamp lizards. That would mean that if the giant frog’s opponent was indeed a rank four swamp lizard, the lizard would fall into a disadvantage before long.

Once the rank four swamp lizard discovered that it wasn’t the frog’s opponent, it would definitely start to run away.

If that were to happen, Shang Xia would have to face the rank four Poison Miasma Frog who would probably retain a huge amount of combat strength if he wished to obtain the item in the strange cloud-like object his Crimson Soul Tablet was responding to.

To make the situation as favorable as possible, Shang Xia would have to make his move quickly! Taking the chance where the two rank four spiritual beasts were locked in combat, he pushed his divine sense to the limit to hide his presence even further. When he was done, he started to slowly approach the cloud.

Shang Xia was never one to hesitate. The moment he made up his mind about something, he would take action immediately!

Making yet another detour, he avoided the battlefield where the two monsters were duking it out and he quickly approached a thousand feet radius from the cloud. At that distance, he also managed to catch sight of the two rank four spiritual beasts who were fighting. He was right, the giant frog was stuck in battle with a huge swamp lizard that was close to a hundred feet long.
