Chapter 78 Fighting The Golden Yang Crab.
?Woosh!
Bai Ming was caught off guard and forcefully dragged deeper into the earth's surface by a humongous claw.
Bai Ming cursed before his eyes turned ruthless, he roared and slammed the beastly claw with both of his arms.
Bam!
Spider web-like cracks formed on the gigantic beast's claw as its grip on Bai Ming loosened, Bai Ming didn't let go of this golden opportunity and immediately charged toward the sky as a pair of majestic purple wings unfurled from his back.
But before he could even accumulate a tiny bit of momentum, three more beastly claws neared him. And Bai Ming was once again caught struggling to break free from the beast's firm grasp.
Ding!
Bai Ming opened his mouth and spat out his flying sword, he skillfully maneuvered it to strike at the beastly claw but unfortunately, the flying sword could only create inconsequential scrapes on the claw's surface.
The flying sword vanished from its position and materialized in Bai Ming's hand, he raised the flying sword above his shoulder, the Spiritual qi in his body churned rapidly and an insane amount of spiritual essence assimilated in the flying sword.
"Haa!" Bai Ming's face turned ferocious as he fiercely swung his sword, and just then the other two beastly claws that were looming around him swooped in and easily grabbed his arms, and mercilessly crushed the bones in his arms before turning them into a pile of bloody mush.
Bai Ming's expression didn't change, but he felt his heart go cold as he lost every little feeling in his arms. His crimson pupils abruptly turned blurry for a moment, as he was ruthlessly tossed into the abyss.
Inside the hole, it looked endless and was covered by correspondingly endless darkness. But the unfeeling darkness couldn't obstruct Bai Ming's hawk-like vision.
In the endless void below him, two bright lamps suddenly lit up. These two lamps were several feet wide. Bai Ming spread out his divine sense and found that they weren't lamps at all but a pair of eyes.
As Bai Ming neared the ground, he could see the creature below extremely clearly, but the scene made him suck in a breath of cold air.
The creature below was a very large, crab-like creature. Its size was almost impossible to gauge. With just what he saw, it was at least 10000 feet long and 1000 feet wide.
It had a golden-yellow exoskeleton glowing with a golden luster. There was a thick layer of bronze spikes on its impenetrable shell armor, it had a monumental pair of cheliped, like two golden yellow poles, stretched out from the shell. Next, there were at least a thousand pairs of chelipeds stretched out from the two sides.
Its first pair of chelipeds was more fearsome than steel poles, a pair of pincers that could break mountains or cut a flood dragon in half!
It's remaining thousand chelipeds, although thinner than the first pair, they were still seven or eight times thicker and longer than ancient trees.
"Golden Yang Crab!" Seeing this, Bai Ming spoke immediately, recognizing the true identity of this fearsome demonic beast.
'Golden Yang crabs are at the very least a 5th-grade king-tier demon beast or higher, how troublesome!' Bai Ming's expression was gloomy, as he crazily flapped his tier 5 beast wings. With much effort and skill, he managed to avoid getting slammed against the hard ground.
Without a second thought, Bai Ming dashed towards the exit, he didn't have a trace of desire to clash against this monstrous Yang crab, at least not for now.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...
The Golden Yang crab coldly stared at Bai Ming and let out a low growl, before moving hundreds of its monstrous claws fiercely at him, intending to capture him.
Bai Ming snorted and charged at them unhesitatingly, he was about to collide with one of its claws, when Bai Ming kept his wings and he descended quickly, narrowly avoiding one of the demonic Crab's claws.
Next, Bai Ming stretched out his wings and flapped hard, flying up and darting for the exit.
But before he could get any closer to the exit more claws came plunging at him, Bai Ming sighed internally before narrowly evading these unmerciful claws.
Swoosh!
But the second Bai Ming dodged it another claw came right at him, Bai Ming couldn't evade it in time, he focused all the strength he could muster in his right leg and viciously kicked out.
Bam!
Bai Ming was forced to retreat hundreds of meters back from the impact, while the beastly claw was almost shattered beyond repair.
'This is bad, more of that, and my leg will give out completely. This can't continue any longer, I have to escape quickly.' Bai Ming thought as his gaze drifted toward his right leg which was already swollen.
Spreading his beast wings, Bai Ming twisted and turned, circled, dived, and rose into the sky under the neverending attacks of Golden Yang Crab. Finding impossible opportunities, after a grueling fifteen minutes of nonstop evasion he finally managed to find a way out of the rain of attacks and near the exit.
But when Bai Ming's gaze finally landed on the exit his heart immediately sank, merely avoiding getting hit by the barrage of those vile claws required Bai Ming's full concentration and focus. He never noticed that the only exit in this place was already sealed off by an extremely thick layer of beastly claws, making all of his efforts go to waste.
Bai Ming tightly clenched his teeth, but the coldness in his eyes only intensified and he fearlessly continued to forge ahead.
Massive purple fireballs suddenly appeared in the air behind Bai Ming, He willed in his mind and dozens of fireballs carrying Blazing fire essence came crashing at the horde of beastly claws barricading the exit.
This wasn't merely an ordinary fireball attack, but it was an enhanced fireball attack that made full use of his nine hundred-year-old flame essence, grandmaster realm fire path attainment, and also his battle qi. Even peak yinyang realm experts need to be wary when facing these lethal fireballs, if not they might just get reduced to ashes.
A series of loud explosions rang out within the darkness of the underground, these explosions resembled the beautiful display of fireworks.
But before Bai Ming could even learn the results of the explosion, the Golden Yang crab let out an enraged roar. The pain from the fireballs made it go berserk, and it increased its attack speed by another fold and struck even more fiercely.
Bai Ming's eyes lit up and without a moment's rest, he continued to concoct more fireballs and fire them at the exit while also using his soul path attacks to very slowly chip away the beast's soul, the soul attacks would temporarily stun the Yang crab as he continued to glide ahead.
At this crucial juncture, the Golden Yang Crab which had become frenzied suddenly moved one of its enormous front pincers which were comparable to a mountain, and viciously thrust it at the tiny Bai Ming.
Bai Ming's complexion turned incomparably dark as he watched the mountain of a pincer inch closer to him. He was incredibly close to the exit but at the same time he wasn't exactly far from the Yang Crab either, there was no way Bai Ming could face the mountain of a pincer head-on but if he wanted to dodge the attack he must retreat far back which would once again widen the gap between him and the exit.
Bai Ming had already suffered heavy injuries while approaching the exit once. However, there was no way he could afford it another time.
But there was not much he could do now, if he were to confront the attack directly he would without a doubt be reduced to a pile of mush.
Bai Ming hesitated momentarily before his expression turned unfeeling and he flapped his wings and quickly retreated to a far corner.
Bai Ming was silently standing with a cold expression, Scarlet blood fell in drops from both of his mashed arms as he watched the Demonic beast hurriedly rushing for him.
'Strength, I need more strength!' He let out an indignant scream in his mind.
Why was it that despite growing so much, he was still so powerless when facing the creations of heaven and earth, when facing fate?
'Then I'll continue to grow, continue to become stronger, and stronger, and finally, I'll be the strongest of them all!'
As he roared silently, the Yang crab was quickly getting closer.
"But for now, all I can do is gamble my insignificant little life, Hahaha..." Bai Ming laughed maniacally as his divine sense entered his storage bag.
Woosh!
An eerie green light shot out from his storage bag, the green brilliance faded away revealing a portable formation.
"Construct," Bai Ming uttered coldly, the ordinary-looking formation landed on the ground before the formation base began expanding rapidly.
Soon, the palm-sized formation base expanded into a three-meter-wide circular plate. Bai Ming dispatched potent threads of divine sense into the formation base, and with a buzzing sound the formation lit up with enchanting blue lights.
"Success!" Bai Ming almost shouted in joy at this scene.
Bai Ming quickly stepped into the formation and after fully entering the formation he turned to face the Golden Yang crab and smiled nonchalantly, "It's been fun, but don't worry it won't be long before I kill you. For now, take care of your Yang core for me, ha-ha-ha.."
The next second, the formation flashed even more dazzlingly, the lights were almost blinding. However, the glittering lights quickly dimmed out revealing an empty formation.
There wasn't even a trace of Bai Ming left, he had completely disappeared...
Boom!
The Golden Crab's mighty pincers slammed at the formation and instantly reduced the formation into a pile of forgotten scrap.
The humongous crab diligently searched for Bai Ming but after a short while, it let out a few beastly howls and angrily scurried away.
