"Eh, quite tough..." Shen Luo murmured in light surprise, seemingly caught off guard.
Despite the overwhelming force behind the Dragon Horn Cone's strike, it only managed to pierce half through the skull instead of penetrating the head completely.
Seeing the Giant Crocodile still had the strength to counterattack, Shen Luo, who had little mastery of the Huan Ting Jing, quickly set it in motion. He spun around in mid-air, using the momentum to dive down and punched forcefully on top of the Dragon Horn Cone.
A layer of faint golden light, almost imperceptible, suddenly flared up around him, enveloping his entire figure into an indistinct Golden Fist Shadow that hammered down heavily onto the Dragon Horn Cone.
"Boom"
A thunderous roar erupted as the Golden Fist Shadow, carrying an immensely powerful force, struck through, driving the Dragon Horn Cone deep underground and, in the process, mashing the Giant Crocodile's head into a blur of flesh and blood.
