My Informative Cultivation Life

Level One Demonic Beasts correspond to the First Layer of Qi Refining in human cultivators, up to Level Ten Demonic Beasts, which correspond to the Tenth Layer of Qi Refining.

Above Level Ten Demonic Beasts are the Demon Generals, Demon Marshals, Demon Kings, and Demon Emperors...

This Level Five King Crab was merely on equal footing with Yang Ji and was not of the imperial class among demonic beasts, its strength varied little, so he naturally did not fear it.

Now, seeing that his sword had failed to achieve its goal, the King Crab's eyes revealed its smug satisfaction, as it even harbored the thought of devouring a human.

Yang Ji, naturally unwilling to accept this, burst forth with a formidable aura.

Once he executed the Light Body Skill, he shot out like a gust of wind.

The spiritual power within his body surged into the flying sword like an angry sea, immediately causing the Lingxiao Sword to radiate chilling cold, and its tip hissed with an unparalleled sharp edge.

The Water Tracing Sword Technique was once again unleashed.

Shlick!

The air tore like paper where the sword's edge pointed.

Sword light howled!

This sword strike reached the extreme in both speed and sharpness.

The King Crab reacted quickly too, its big eyes bulging as it raised one giant pincer swiftly to shield itself.

The Flying Sword collided with the giant pincer with a clang, producing a sound like metal striking stone.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

The sword tip, like a drill, pressed against the pincer, and sparks flew.

Though the King Crab was pushed back several meters by the force of the sword strike, the Flying Sword could not penetrate even a fraction of an inch.

Although it was frustrating, Yang Ji had anticipated this outcome.

A flash of brilliance shot through his eyes, and his figure shifted abruptly, spinning to the King Crab's side like a wraith in an instant.

He thrust the flying sword with extreme speed once more.

Ding!

The sword struck true against the rib of the King Crab, and at the point of contact, a spot of white light suddenly emerged.

White light, still white light.

Even a sword thrust to its ribs failed to pierce through.

"This creature!" Yang Ji's gaze darkened, but he did not let himself become distracted.

Before the King Crab could react, he stomped fiercely on the ground, his body shooting upward like an arrow, and with a swish, he stabbed directly at the King Crab's eyes.

The sword strike, surprisingly soft, was like plunging into a quagmire, with all the strength enveloped by the Flying Sword instantly dissipated.

Even the razor edge failed to penetrate the crab's eyeball.

"This... This creature's defenses are so formidable, even its eyes; it truly has no weaknesses," Yang Ji frowned slightly.

The King Crab, having been stabbed twice, showed a [Shock] above its head, which then quickly turned to [Frenzied Fury].

Sss!

It let out an angry hiss, its breath becoming violent, and a murky, foul-smelling green gas explosively spewed toward Yang Ji.

[The inner breath of the King Crab has a strong corrosive effect and can also paralyze the soul. If you were to be hit, you would be severely injured].

Seriously injured?

As the green gas approached, Yang Ji's face changed color, and he rapidly retreated in flight.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

Seeing Yang Ji evade, the King Crab let out a series of infuriated roars, its anger completely ignited.

A yellow glow suddenly erupted from its body, and to Yang Ji's astonishment, the crab soared into the air with a thunderous leap, like a tank with claws and teeth bared, flying skywards to pounce and kill.

The massive body bore down, its presence oppressing everything around it.

Yang Ji's expression tightened ever so slightly as he rapidly shifted sideways, dodging to one side.

"Splosh!" The King Crab crashed down heavily, its eighteen sturdy legs penetrating the sand, creating deep pits.

Sand and stones flew everywhere, obscuring vision.

While Yang Ji was avoiding the flying debris, the crab's thick legs moved in unison, closing in on him once more. A giant claw suddenly lifted over its head, bursting with boundless yellow light. Enveloped with an immense force, it aimed to crush Yang Ji with a hammering blow.

Fast and fierce, the force was mighty and heavy.

Yang Ji felt as though the colossal pincer was a falling star, with such overwhelming momentum it seemed unstoppable.

This move was immensely oppressive, tearing through the air, its energy rampaging, making his cheeks ache as if slashed by the sharp edge of a blade.

It was too fast; the King Crab had given its all in this strike, leaving him no chance to dodge.

If caught by the giant pincers, he would undoubtedly be cleaved in two.

Although Yang Ji's face was slightly tense, he remained calm amidst the danger.

Seen raising his eyes, spiritual power burst forth from within his body, and the flying sword in his hand suddenly moved, flashing upwards like lightning to meet the King Crab's giant pincer.

Boom!

The pincer and flying sword collided in the blink of an eye.

Yellow light clashed with the water-blue sword qi in a storm-like explosion, sending visible spiraling energy beams shooting in all directions.

Yang Ji was sent flying by the pincer, stumbling backward with a series of "thuds," creating explosive sounds in the sandy ground with each step he took until, after eighteen sounds, the force was fully dissipated, and he stabilized his form in a disheveled state.

In contrast, the King Crab steadied itself immediately with a push of its rear legs.

In that instant, the superiority was clear.

Yang Ji's pupils constricted as he looked at the still trembling Lingxiao Sword, saying solemnly, "This thing... such formidable strength!"

"Fortunately, the flying sword is undamaged. It seems that this creature's shell isn't overly strong. With the Lingxiao Sword, I still have the power to fight."

"This sword truly deserves its reputation as the finest among low-grade magical artifacts. Had it been any other low-grade flying sword, it likely would have snapped."

Whoosh!

The sharp sound of tearing through the air rose again as the King Crab's eighteen thick legs moved in unison, like spears from heaven, abruptly charging forward.

"Come on!" Having withstood its strongest flattening strike, Yang Ji was fearless, and immediately employed the Water Tracing Sword Technique's elusive sword shadows.

With his wrist rotating clockwise, the flying sword produced overlapping sword shadows, and a sword qi whirlpool encircled him, strangling everything in its path.

Ting ting ting!

The King Crab's thick legs hit the sword qi whirlpool, sparking a fierce collision that sent out flashes of light and an intimidating sound.

While dodging and weaving with the Light Body Skill, Yang Ji used the sword qi whirlpool to defend and counterattack, blocking all eighteen of the massive legs that were thrusting down like a rain of arrows.

The King Crab's eighteen thick legs moved swiftly, recklessly pursuing Yang Ji with murderous intent.

The spear-like legs danced madly, thudding into the ground, attempting to pierce through with each thrust, and intermittently spewing toxic gas to disrupt his steps.

In this high-frequency combat, Yang Ji's proficiency with the Water Tracing Sword Technique and the Light Body Skill was steadily increasing.

[Your continuous use of the Water Tracing Sword Technique has increased your proficiency by +1.]

[Your continuous use of the Water Tracing Sword Technique has increased your proficiency by +1.]

[Your continuous use of the Light Body Skill has increased your proficiency by +1.]

[Your continuous use of the Light Body Skill has increased your proficiency by +1.]

...

Both combatants fought with true fire, battling through an entire night.

By this moment, the moon had vanished, and the sun had begun to rise slowly.

After driving Yang Ji back with a pincer, the King Crab no longer pursued him, giving him a fierce stare before turning to walk towards the water.

Yang Ji's eyebrows lifted as he watched the creature leave, unwillingly; though helpless, who could blame him when the sword in his hand couldn't breach its defense?

Just as he stood there in frustration, the King Crab turned back, hissed twice from the corner of its mouth, eyes fixed onto him, and above its head appeared ["Wait for Crab Lord, I'll rest a bit in my cave mansion, tonight I shall claim your life."]

Ha!

Seeing this, Yang Ji couldn't help but feel amused.

Fine, fine, I'll be waiting for you.

A surge of stubbornness welled up within him, and he sat down cross-legged on the beach to recuperate, restoring his strength.

That night, the King Crab came swaggering forth, exhaling green gas as expected.

Once again, a fierce battle unfolded between man and crab.

From the moment Yang Ji encountered the King Crab, every evening on Wild Heaven Island was fraught with explosive noises and thunderous rumblings.

Initially, the seabirds perched in the trees were startled and scattered.

But, eventually, they grew accustomed and perched on the branches, curiously watching the battle below.

The fight between man and crab waged on, and five days passed in a flash.
