Translator: 549690339

Fang Lin was effortlessly stepping in an eccentric fashion, dodging the attacks of the black alligator again and again with ease. Even though the alligator’s aggression was fierce, it couldn’t even touch the hem of Fang Lin’s garment.

The bystanders in the distance were quietly amazed. Fang Lin’s manoeuvrability was invincible. They had no idea that Fang Lin possessed such extraordinary skills.

“Though I can’t completely utilise my Nine Heavens Step Skill yet, it’s more than enough to handle a small black alligator like you,” Fang Lin thought to himself. His footwork changed again, and he mysteriously appeared behind the black alligator.

The black alligator was quick to react, swinging its tail to strike at Fang Lin, while its body frantically twisted around.

A smile flickered across Fang Lin’s face. He suddenly took out a jade bottle from his left hand and smashed it hard on the back of the black alligator.

The jade bottle shattered, immediately releasing a purple liquid that flowed over the body of the black alligator.

The moment the purple liquid appeared, it sizzled, causing the black alligator to scream in pain.

Seizing the opportunity when the black alligator was thrown off balance, Fang Lin fiercely plunged the dagger in his right hand into one of the alligator’s eyes.

Splutch!

The sound of the rupturing eye resonated. The black alligator’s eyeball instantly shattered, splattering a reddish-black murky substance.

Fang Lin retreated swiftly after striking, without any hesitation.

The alligator, whose eye had been destroyed, slipped into an insane rage. Severe pain drove it to lose all reason.

The remaining eye of the black alligator was blood red, an eerie glow faintly radiating from it.

Fang Lin had a chill run through him. It seemed that the black alligator was stimulated by the potential of its demon core and was all prepared to fight him to the death.

The demon core contained the greatest power of a demon beast. When a demon beast is desperate, it would stimulate the enormous power hidden within its demon core, enabling the beast to explode with several times its usual strength at the last moment.

This was undoubtedly the most dangerous time. Martial artists must exercise utmost caution when fighting against demon beasts.

“Clear out!” Fang Lin shouted at the crowd.

The crowd hastily retreated further, each of them carrying an expression of anxiety and fear.

The black alligator lunged furiously towards Fang Lin. Its massive body leaped, like a small mountain pressing towards Fang Lin.

By employing his Nine Heavens Step Skill, Fang Lin avoided the alligator’s assault. However, the alligator’s swinging tail still smacked towards him.

Smack!

Fang Lin was still a bit too slow, hit by the tail, and his back was full of burning pain, seeming like a chunk of flesh had been torn off.

Fang Lin silently cursed. This black alligator, stimulated by its demon core, had significantly increased its speed. Therefore, his Nine Heavens Step Skill was not as effective as before.

However, not a trace of panic was visible on Fang Lin’s face. Instead, he was calm and composed.

The black alligator attacked again, its speed not in any way comparable to before. Only Fang Lin, relying on his Nine Heavens Step Skill, could contend with it. If it had been any other Eighth Layer Human Origin martial artist, they would probably have already been severely injured by this frenzied alligator.

The distant Xu Shangao, Wu Mengsheng, and others watched nervously, fearing any unexpected incident might befall Fang Lin.

As time passed slowly, the actions of the black alligator gradually became sluggish, and its breath became very heavy.

Fang Lin was able to dodge more easily. The audience in the distance noticed that the black alligator seemed to be exhausted.

After another half an hour of struggle, Fang Lin looked coldly at the black alligator, which was panting and unable to move, there was no shred of pity on his face.

The eye of the black alligator, which Fang Lin had blinded, no longer bled. However, its surroundings had turned black, as if it had been poisoned.

Fang Lin walked step by step towards the black alligator. Despair and resentment flashed through its eyes, and its body uncontrollably twitched.

The crowd in the distance came over. It seemed that the imminent threat no longer existed.

“Fang, did you subdue this black alligator?” Xu Shangao looked at the black alligator and asked in amazement.

Fang Lin smiled and said, “It’s not as simple as subduing it. I just poisoned the dagger, and it was poisoned.”

Upon hearing this, everyone understood. When they looked at the dagger in Fang Lin’s hand, they all felt a chill in their hearts.

Even the Eighth Layer black alligator was poisoned and immobilized. If a human were poisoned this way, they’d probably be defenceless within a short time.

“Fang, how should the black alligator be dealt with?” Wu Mengsheng asked.

Fang Lin said, “Naturally, it needs to be dismembered, and its demon core extracted.”

Having said that, Fang Lin started to work. He directly plunged the dagger into the alligator’s throat and stirred it hard.

A large amount of blood flowed from the alligator’s mouth, the light in its eyes quickly dimmed, and it was indeed dead.

Fang Lin exhaled a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Killing this black alligator was challenging, and his own body was also covered in wounds.

Without paying attention to his injuries, Fang Lin cut open the abdomen of the black alligator with the dagger, and started rummaging inside.

The rest of the crowd felt a chill, as pill refiners, it’s not common to witness scenes as bloody as this.

After rummaging inside for a while, Fang Lin eventually pulled out a demon core.

The demon core emitted a strong unnatural smell, which made everyone pinch their noses and screw up their faces.

With a smile on his face, Fang Lin wiped the demon core and put it into the Nine Palace Bag.

No one objected. There was no dissatisfaction in their hearts either. After all, the black alligator was hunted by Fang Lin alone. If it wasn’t for Fang Lin, some of them might have gotten seriously injured.

Therefore, it was reasonable for Fang Lin to claim the demon core.

“Fang, your back is still bleeding.” Xu Shangao reminded him.

Fang Lin was well aware that his back was still bleeding, perhaps a chunk of flesh had been torn off.

“Help me apply some medicine.” Fang Lin handed a bottle of medicinal powder to Xu Shangao.

Xu Shangao nodded, quickly applying the powder to Fang Lin’s back.

Fang Lin took out clean clothes from the Nine Palace Bag to change into and then sat on the ground to rest.

“Fang, do you still want that flesh-eating grass?” Wu Mengsheng pointed at the solitary Hundred-year Flesh-eating Grass in the distance.

As Fang Lin was about to speak, they heard footsteps in the distance.

Everyone immediately became alert. Even though no harm could be done to fellow disciples on Medicine-Seeking Peak, theft of someone’s medicinal plants often occurred.

Soon, a group of more than ten people appeared in the vicinity.

“Is that Fang, Xu, and Wu ahead?” One of them shouted from the distance, not daring to come closer without invitation.

Xu Shangao recognised him and whispered to Fang Lin, “That’s Li Min. He has a good reputation amongst the junior disciples.”

Fang Lin nodded, saying nothing. The other party didn’t move closer without invitation, indicating that they were also wary of them.

“Li Brother, it’s us. What brings you here?” Xu Shangao responded loudly..
