Chapter 44: Gambler, I want to eat fish!

"Brother Yi!"

Before Yun Yi could recover his senses, a fragrant, soft, and jade-like tender body had already thrown itself into his arms, wrapping tightly around him!

"Wuwuwu, Brother Yi, I was so scared!"

Feeling Lei Ling'er crying in his arms, Yun Yi's gaze instantly softened. He reached out to stroke Lei Ling'er's hair, speaking in a gentle and soft voice, "It's all right, I'm here!"

Looking at the passionately embracing young couple in the distance, a trace of strangeness appeared in Feng Lingling's eyes. For some reason, she suddenly thought of the scene where she had been seen completely by Yun Yi when she went mad during her cultivation, and her face instantly felt a rush of heat.

After comforting Lei Ling'er, Yun Yi took his spirit sword and walked toward the other two.

Looking at Wei Hu and Yan Xinru lying on the ground, indifference appeared in Yun Yi's eyes.

"The king is defeated and the bandit is executed! I am willing to accept my loss since I dared to gamble!"

Wei Hu obviously knew that begging for mercy would be useless, so he wanted to die with dignity.

"Yun Yi! Yun Yi! I know I was wrong! It was him... It was him! He ordered me!"

Yan Xinru screamed as she spoke, pointing at Wei Hu beside her and shouting loudly, shifting all the responsibility entirely onto him.

"You bitch! How the hell did I ever order you!"

Wei Hu was clearly enraged as well, loudly rebuking and cursing Yan Xinru.

"Dogs biting dogs, quite a sight!"

Yun Yi looked at the two of them and smiled, but the intent to kill in his eyes was already set.

"Pity that the two of you can only go to the netherworld to bicker!"

Yun Yi's gaze turned cold, and the long sword in his hand swept past. Two heads instantly flew high into the air.

"Yun..."

Before Yan Xinru could finish, two pillars of blood shot straight into the sky, blooming like crimson flowers in the air.

At this moment, everyone felt not the slightest bit of pity for the two of them, simply because they were the very reason why everyone had almost perished.

"Let's go!"

After executing the two, Yun Yi's mood relaxed as well. He summoned the Cyan Rock Eagle and took everyone flying up into the sky.

The Cyan Rock Eagle galloped all the way, and after just one day, they arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Yingtian Academy was located.

"Senior Sister, you take Ling'er back first. I have a mission to complete. Senior Sister, once I refine the Blood-Drinking Nether Flower into a Gold-Breaking Pill, I'll send it over to you!"

Yun Yi looked at the dazed Feng Lingling and said softly.

"Ah! Oh, oh, oh!"

Feng Lingling snapped out of her daze and hurriedly answered.

"Ling'er, you go back with Senior Sister first. I'll come find you when I'm done."

"Okay! Brother Yi, be careful!"

Reluctantly, Feng Lingling gave Yun Yi a brief embrace and walked toward her own Cyan Rock Eagle.

"Let's go, Old Qian!"

Yun Yi gently patted the Cyan Rock Eagle and sped toward the lake at the foot of the mountain.

"Boss, what kind of mission is this! So mysterious, you didn't even let your sister-in-law know!"

Qian Mo's eyes gleamed with excitement as he asked.

"Hahaha, what are you thinking, Old Qian!"

Yun Yi teased, "A mutated Vajra Crocodile, its strength is around the sixth layer of Qi Condensation!"

Qian Mo: "?"

"Wait, Boss, I'm only at the third layer of Qi Condensation! This..."

Qian Mo suddenly felt like his boss was about to feed him to a crocodile!

"Of course I'm not going to let you go head-to-head with it!"

Yun Yi laughed despite himself. "I'll be responsible for luring it out, and you'll be responsible for ranged attacks. Remember to attack its eyes!"

After Yun Yi finished speaking, the Cyan Rock Eagle had already arrived at the lakeside at the foot of the mountain.

"Qian Mo, find a place to hide!"

With that, Yun Yi drew his spirit sword and flew toward the lake surface using sword flight.

At this moment, the scorching sun was high in the sky. Across the wide, calm lake, a figure could be seen stepping on a sword, moving slowly just above the water's surface.

"Strange? Why is this beast behaving so tamely?"

Yun Yi frowned. According to the information he had, the Vajra Crocodile was a spirit beast with an extremely strong sense of territoriality.

Before Yun Yi could feel puzzled, a loud shout suddenly came from afar.

"Boss! Boss, save me! Save me!"

Yun Yi turned his head to look and focused his gaze. Good grief, instead of chasing him, it was chasing Qian Mo.

At this moment, Qian Mo was utterly speechless. He had simply found a large rock to sit on, never expecting that the big rock beneath his backside was actually a sleeping Vajra Crocodile.

The crucial part was that he had kept picking at the big rock like an idiot, and that was how this scene came to be.

"Uh..."

Yun Yi also found it somewhat comical.

"Boss! Stop laughing and save me!"

Qian Mo was on the verge of tears.

Knowing that this was no time to joke around, Yun Yi hurriedly flew toward Qian Mo.

"Vile beast! Take this punch of mine!"

With a fierce look in his eyes, Yun Yi instantly unleashed a ferocious tiger fist.

Striking from above, his fist plunged straight toward the Vajra Crocodile's head.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion echoed, and the calm lake instantly churned up a massive wave of water.

By this time, Qian Mo had already fled to a safe spot, staring at the spectacle with his jaw dropped open in shock.

"Boss! You're a deity!"

Following the punch, before Yun Yi could even react, a blood-red gaping maw rushed out from the lake surface, snapping fiercely at him.

"This beast's skin is really thick!"

It was well within Yun Yi's expectations that a single punch wouldn't kill the Vajra Crocodile.

Although the Vajra Crocodile possessed supreme defensive power, its speed was much slower. With a shift of spiritual energy beneath his feet, Yun Yi easily dodged the crocodile's attack.

Watching the Vajra Crocodile leap high into the air, Yun Yi finally got a clear look at its full appearance: its entire body was covered in thick black scales, and its torso was a full ten meters long!

Without waiting for the crocodile to react, Yun Yi hurriedly flew toward the shore. His chances of killing it were much higher on solid ground!

Seeing that its single strike had missed, the Vajra Crocodile grew utterly furious. It had taken a punch from this fellow, and the bastard still wanted to escape?

The Vajra Crocodile absolutely refused to allow such a thing to happen, instantly turning its body around to give chase.

Seeing that the Vajra Crocodile was about to reach the shore, Yun Yi shouted loudly, "Old Qian!"

"Coming!"

Qian Mo responded loudly, leaping high into the air and pulling the bowstring back to its limit.

"Taste my arrow—Cloud Chaser!"

"Screech!"

The shot was fired, tearing through the air with a sonic boom as it hurtled straight toward the Vajra Crocodile!

"What kind of tickling attack is this?"

The Vajra Crocodile wondered inwardly. With a single sweep of its massive tail, it instantly deflected Qian Mo's attack without losing a single bit of speed as it lunged at Yun Yi.

Qian Mo: "You've got to be kidding me?"

Qian Mo was dumbfounded. It just blocked it like that?

Yun Yi was also somewhat shocked; the defense of this mutated Vajra Crocodile was extraordinary.

Seeing the giant tail swinging toward him, Yun Yi sidestepped to dodge it, having already formulated a plan.

Yun Yi flashed right in front of the Vajra Crocodile and struck it square in the mouth.

He was quite helpless; this creature kept guarding its own eyes.

Feeling an itch in its mouth, the Vajra Crocodile opened its jaws wide and snapped at Yun Yi.

With a flash beneath his feet, Yun Yi sprinted toward Qian Mo, signaling him with a glance.

"Cloud Chaser!"

Qian Mo loosed another arrow. This attack came without warning, flying true and straight with a deafening screech right into the Vajra Crocodile's eye.

Feeling a searing pain in its eye, the Vajra Crocodile instantly lost its vision, thrashing wildly in all directions.

Looking at the rolling Vajra Crocodile before him, a smile bloomed on Yun Yi's face.

"Old Qian, I feel like eating fish!"
