Chapter 14: Slaying the Giant Lizard

  This time, the giant lizard's speed was even more rapid than its previous attack. Du Fei watched as the giant lizard's movements accelerated, and his heart skipped a beat in surprise. He hastily jumped up to dodge, but now that he had reached the fifth level of the Qiyuan boundary, he could easily jump three or four meters high with just a casual leap, and his speed was also comparable to that of the giant lizard.

  The giant lizard saw Du Fei dodge its attack, and with a swift kick of both feet, it followed Du Fei's direction and jumped over his head. One claw swooped down towards Du Fei, who swung his long sword with force to meet the incoming attack. The sword and claw clashed, but due to the giant lizard's immense strength, Du Fei was knocked to the ground. The giant lizard's claws came again, and Du Fei barely avoided a fatal blow by rolling and crawling on the ground.

  Du Fei struggled to get up from a distance, now his body and face were all covered with dust, looking very disheveled. Seeing his own appearance, Du Fei cursed loudly: "You damn thing, if I don't kill you today, my surname won't be Du." As he spoke, Du Fei actively attacked the giant lizard again. A loud clang was heard once more, the long sword struck the giant lizard's back, and Du Fei felt a numbness in his hand again, quickly retreating from the giant lizard's attack range.

  The giant lizard saw that Du Fei's attack didn't cause much harm to itself, and it seemed a bit pleased with itself. It didn't launch an active attack, standing in place, sticking out its tongue and blinking its eyes.

  Du Fei saw the giant turtle's change and suddenly became furious, saying: "You bastard, how dare you look down on your grandfather!" As he spoke, Du Fei charged forward again. Just as he was halfway there, the giant turtle quickly launched a counterattack. The giant turtle turned its back to Du Fei, swung its tail to one side with great force, and struck Du Fei's body with a loud "slap". The impact was strong and sent Du Fei flying several meters away. Du Fei crashed heavily to the ground, rolling several times before stopping. He sat up on the ground, supporting himself with his hand, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his sword had been knocked out of his hand. Clearly, the giant turtle's previous attack had injured Du Fei.

  The giant lizard saw that Du Fei was injured by himself and didn't give Du Fei a chance to breathe, the single horn attacked again towards Du Fei. Du Fei saw the giant lizard rushing over, using all his strength to quickly dodge the giant lizard's attack. However, because of the injury, Du Fei hadn't fully recovered yet, his body was a bit disobedient, becoming somewhat slow.

  Du Fei couldn't dodge the giant lizard's attack, just as the giant horn was about to pierce Du Fei, Du Fei used his left hand to block it, and the giant lizard's horn stabbed into the wordless heavenly book on Du Fei's left hand. Suddenly a white light burst forth, and the situation changed, Du Fei covered his head with both hands, not daring to look at the giant lizard, but the giant lizard retreated several meters, shaking its head as if in pain, letting out a mournful cry.

  To know that the horn of the giant lizard is even harder than ordinary steel, it's incredible that the hardest part of the giant lizard can be so painful. It's as if the book has become a magical artifact. Just now, when the book and the horn touched for an instant, the book became exceptionally hard, its hardness unknown times greater than that of the giant lizard's horn. The weight of the book also became incredibly heavy, but its volume didn't change in the slightest. Only Du Fei, the owner of the book, couldn't feel the weight of the book after it changed, and his feeling towards the book was no different from usual. This was not the first time the book had changed; it had happened before when Du Fei threw the book at a wall, but the degree of change then was not as strong as now. However, for the giant lizard with its single horn, it was like crashing into an iron mountain, and the pain left it howling incessantly.

  Du Fei recovered from the injury just now, and the injury didn't cause him too much trouble. He was overjoyed that he wasn't stung by the giant scorpion and repeatedly touched the wordless heavenly book with his right hand, as if thanking it. "Hehehe, well done, I didn't expect you to have this trick. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I wouldn't have suffered so much," Du Fei said with a smile, feeling somewhat pleased with himself.

  The heavenly book shone brightly again, and Du Fei opened it: "You lucky guy, you knew how to use me to block the giant scorpion's attack. Good for you. Let me help you, throw me at him, and as long as I'm on top of him, he won't be able to escape." Du Fei looked at the words on the book and smiled, nodding in agreement with the heavenly book's plan.

  Du Fei's eyes gleamed with mockery as he gazed at the giant lizard. The giant lizard, having suffered a dark loss earlier, no longer dared to attack Du Fei recklessly and instead quietly observed his every move from where it stood. Du Fei held the Wordless Heavenly Book in his right hand, using it to gesture towards the giant lizard with an exaggerated motion of throwing it, but not actually doing so. His face was also raised with a triumphant smirk as he teased the giant lizard, which watched the heavenly book in Du Fei's hand with some trepidation and didn't dare get any closer to him.

  "Hey, kid! Come on out! What's wrong? You got beat up by your old man and now you're hiding in there with your tail between your legs? If you don't come out, I'll have to come in after you!" Du Fei taunted triumphantly. Du Fei's injuries had clearly improved a lot.

  The giant lizard hissed and stuck out its tongue, staring at Du Fei but not daring to attack. Du Fei jumped closer, shortening the distance between them. He stopped about two meters away from the giant lizard, watching its every move with unblinking eyes, afraid that it might suddenly launch a sneak attack, which would put him at a great disadvantage. Du Fei calmly took out an iron knife again, but it was much heavier than his long sword, and he didn't wield it as smoothly.

  Du Fei held the knife and kept poking at the giant lizard, which dodged from time to time. Now Du Fei was like teasing a frog, poking once, the giant lizard moved once, and the scene was suddenly funny.

  Jǔ xiǎo did not dare to attack Du Fei because he was afraid of the heavenly book in Du Fei's hand. Du Fei knew this, and was looking for an opportunity to throw the book at Jǔ xiǎo. Just as Du Fei lightly poked a few times, suddenly with a burst of strength, his poking turned into slashing, and one slash went towards Jǔ xiǎo. Jǔ xiǎo's attention was all focused on this one slash from Du Fei, but the result was that Du Fei's spear suddenly stopped in mid-air, and Jǔ xiǎo saw that the knife had not fallen, and he was immediately at a loss.

  Just as the giant lizard was still in a daze, Du Fei's wordless heavenly book had already been thrown out. The heavenly book emitted a burst of white light and fell onto the giant lizard's back. In an instant, the giant lizard was like it was being pressed down by a weight of thousands of kilograms, lying motionlessly on the ground, its hands and feet deeply buried in the soil. Fortunately, the giant lizard's skin was tough enough; otherwise, with this degree of weight pressing down, other primordial beasts might have been crushed to death. The giant lizard's head was also firmly stuck to the ground, its red eyes filled with unwillingness as it stared at Du Fei. Du Fei let out a long sigh, looking at the giant lizard with a victorious attitude.

  Du Fei saw the giant lizard being pressed down without any resistance, and thought of the heavenly book saying that the giant lizard's buttocks were its weakness, so he took out his big knife and stepped back to attack from behind.

  "Hahahaha, you little brat, let me hurt your old man, and I'll make your butt bloom!" Du Fei laughed wickedly, holding his large knife in both hands as he chopped towards the giant lizard's buttocks. However, just as the knife was about to reach its target, the giant lizard's massive tail swung towards Du Fei once again. This time, Du Fei was more agile and saw the tail coming, using his knife to deflect it sideways and block the attack. But due to the giant lizard's immense strength, Du Fei was sent flying into the air once more. He rotated several times before landing steadily on the ground, gritting his teeth as he glared at the giant lizard: "You dare to resist? Watch me take you down today!" Because the Heavenly Book was pressed onto the giant lizard's back, it could only move its tail and head, which is why it had used its tail to attack Du Fei earlier when he attacked.

  Du Fei picked up the big knife again and looked at the giant lizard's buttocks, but every time he was bounced back by the giant lizard's tail. After several consecutive attacks, Du Fei became a bit anxious and said: "You little guy isn't very powerful, is it? Today I'll exhaust you to death, let's see how long your tail can swing, I won't give up until you're tired." After finishing speaking, Du Fei swung his knife towards the giant lizard's buttocks again. The result was the same as before - the giant lizard knew that Du Fei wanted to attack its weak point, so it desperately used its tail to defend itself.

  Du Fei had originally planned to engage in a war of attrition, letting the giant lizard swing its tail until it became tired, at which point he could easily take care of it. However, after multiple swings of its tail, the giant lizard didn't show any signs of fatigue. Instead, Du Fei was the one who became exhausted first from swinging his big knife and expending too much physical energy.

  Du Fei sat on the ground panting and resting, with sweat dripping down like rain. Because the Heavenly Book was pressed under the giant lizard's body, Du Fei had no way to communicate with the Heavenly Book, so he sat alone on the ground thinking hard about how to deal with the giant lizard.

  "That's it, I've got a way, why didn't I think of it earlier." Du Fei exclaimed excitedly.

  Only to see Du Fei pick up a handful of mud and sand from the ground, slowly walking towards the giant lizard's head, saying: "Little guy, don't blame me for this, it's you who made me do this." After finishing speaking, Du Fei threw the mud and sand in his hands towards the giant lizard's head. Unfortunately, the giant lizard had no idea what Du Fei was trying to do, staring at him with its eyes open and looking fierce. The mud and sand flew straight into the giant lizard's eyes, making it feel uncomfortable, opening its big mouth and shaking its head non-stop. However, the giant lizard could no longer see anything now. Du Fei quickly ran to the back of the giant lizard, his knife chopping towards the giant lizard's buttocks once again.

  Because this was a specially planned move, Du Fei's knife really did land on the giant lizard's buttocks. The giant lizard felt an unbearable pain and its tail started shaking wildly. Blood flowed non-stop from the wound on the giant lizard's buttocks, and the shaking of its tail accelerated the flow of blood. In just a moment, the area behind the giant lizard was stained red with fresh blood. Due to the massive loss of blood, the rapidly shaking tail slowly came to a stop. Du Fei saw that the giant lizard had stopped shaking its tail and carefully made another slash at its buttocks. This time, the giant lizard didn't react at all. Du Fei took advantage of the situation and made several more slashes and stabs at the giant lizard's buttocks before stopping to wipe away the sweat on his forehead. Seeing that the giant lizard had no reaction, Du Fei walked over to its head and gently poked it with his knife. The giant lizard's head lifelessly slumped in another direction.

  Du Fei finally let out a long sigh and said: "Finally dead."
