Chapter 117
Edited by RED
The spot where the Demon Eye Toad jumped up was just slightly over a hundred meters away from Zhang Che, and he wasn't able to see the exotic beast's attributes, leaving him feeling very anxious .
To have the guts to challenge the Purple Jade Condor, one could only imagine how strong the Demon Eye Toad was .
However, this toad actually leapt right up to a bird's territory! Was it thinking that its opponent wouldn't eat it? Or, perhaps someone or something gave it the courage?
Zhang Che was baffled . Even if two beasts were similar in strength, there existed a natural restraint between two different species . Toad-type exotic beasts were not naturally equipped with the strength to go against flying-type beasts .
Moreover, Zhang Che wasn't of the opinion that the mysterious toad's strength was far above the Purple Jade Condor's . If that were the case, he and his beasts would have died to the ugly thing long ago . How could he possibly still be alive at this moment?
Countless thoughts went through Zhang Che's mind, as the Demon Eye Toad was reaching the apex of its jump . There was less than a hundred meters between it and the Purple Jade Condor, and the distance between them was rapidly shrinking .
The Purple Jade Condor originally planned to bring its master away from this area, but now that it was taunted by this damned toad in such a way, how could it possibly sit by and endure? It let out a piercing cry, pecking at the Demon Eye Toad .
With the Purple Jade Condor's strength, even a hard rock would be turned to powder with a single peck . If the toad were to suffer a single blow, a large hole would definitely be punctured into it .
Right at this moment, however, the Demon Eye Toad suddenly lowered its head in mid air, exposing its back to the Purple Jade Condor as if it was throwing away its life .
Zhang Che's face suddenly changed, yelling out subconsciously, "Watch out!"
The pattern on the Demon Eye Toad's back suddenly shone, like a malicious spirit opening its eye . An extremely cold aura suddenly spread . Even Zhang Che, who was over a hundred meters away, shivered, goosebumps rising from his skin .
The Demon Eye Toad was actually a cold-attributed powerful beast!
With the demon eye open, a deep blue beam suddenly shot out following the spreading of the cold aura, striking the Purple Jade Condor's head as it couldn't dodge in time .
The Purple Jade Condor let out a loud cry . Its body seemed like it turned stiff, losing its balance and plummeted down towards the swamp .
Zhang Che's complexion paled . He exclaimed in astonishment, "How is this possible!?"
It was the strongest subdued beast he had in his line-up, a three-star dark gold-quality beast! And it was actually killed instantly by that Demon Eye Toad?!
-No! As my subdued beast, it would turn into a streak of light and dissipate if it's dead . There wouldn't be a corpse left behind!-

Zhang Che felt a little more assured, his sights set on where the Purple Jade Condor was falling .
As expected, just as the Purple Jade Condor's stiffened body was about to hit the ground, it suddenly let out an enraged cry . Its wing spread out mightily, beating furiously, resuming flight close to the ground .
At the same moment, the Demon Eye Toad landed . Its powerful, ugly legs pushed off the ground again, jumping nearly fifty meters forward, pursuing the Purple Jade Condor .
After regaining its ability to fly, the condor made a sharp turn at low altitude, flying straight towards the Demon Eye Toad .
Its dignity as a powerful flying beast was being seriously challenged . The Purple Jade Condor wouldn't let this go just like that . It had to strike back, or it would lose all face as a mighty condor!
Gua!
The Demon Eye Toad wasn't afraid in the least, either . Its figure leapt into the air once more, its mouth opening wide, shooting a ball of gloomy green water about the size of a basketball at the Purple Jade Condor .
It was obvious that the deep blue beam shot from the Demon Eye Toad's back earlier was most likely its offensive skill, and now that it was on cooldown, it could only use the corrosive green water like the rest of its underlings .

However, the Purple Jade Condor was aware that this corrosive water attack wasn't to be underestimated, either . Naturally it wouldn't fly into it stupidly . The Purple Jade Condor tilted its wing slightly, and drew a beautiful arc in the air, reaching the side of the Demon Eye Toad .
As the saying went, it was impolite to only be on the receiving end . The Purple Jade Condor was well aware that this damned toad before its eyes was the strongest foe it had ever encountered, and it didn't dare to hold anything back . It activated its Wing Blade skill, emitting a blinding glow of light on its wings .
In the next moment, the Purple Jade Condor's speed suddenly exploded, becoming over twice as fast . Its figure turned into a purple lightning, diving at the Demon Eye Toad a few dozen meters away .
"Who knows if the Purple Jade Condor can land a hit on this damn toad…"
Zhang Che was standing far away, with the Gluttony Monkey by his side . The latter was wielding his bow, ready to fire a fatal shot at any moment .
The Demon Eye Toad let out another resounding croak . Its nimble body jumped, narrowly dodging the Purple Jade Condor's dive . Its figure flashed, disappearing into the thick bushes .
Naturally, the Purple Jade Condor wouldn't give up just like this . Its Wing Blade skill lasted for an entire minute . Thus, it suddenly changed direction, zeroing in on where the Demon Eye Toad disappeared, cutting down anything in its path, determined to find this ugly toad that made it suffer such a disgraceful loss .
For a short while, the plants in this area were in for a bad time .
The grasses, bushes, branches, as well as the lotus leaves, were shredded to pieces, strewn everywhere .

When the one minute was over, a wide circular area of about a few hundred meters radius was left in a desolate state, with not a stalk of plant remaining standing .
However, Zhang Che didn't see any traces of the Demon Eye Toad . Not only that, not a single regular toad was killed during the Purple Jade Condor's rampage .
The area was filled with pools of water . Facing the Purple Jade Condor's attack, all of the ugly toads, including the Demon Eye Toad, had probably hid themselves in the water, so there weren't any casualties .
This battle ended just as swiftly and abruptly as it started .
Currently, the bitter Purple Jade Condor was still circling around at a low altitude, letting out enraged cries from time to time, like how ancient generals tried to taunt their enemies into showing themselves in historical fiction .
Alas, the Demon Eye Toad seemed to understand that it was merely evenly matched with the Purple Jade Condor . There was no chance of it emerging victorious, and thus it decided to remain hidden .
Zhang Che focused his gaze on the swamplands, finally sighing after a long time . He recalled the Purple Jade Condor to his side, maneuvering around this area as he looked to explore further into the swamp .
It was impossible for his party to kill the Demon Eye Toad today . This area was its territory; they had no advantage to speak of . If they were to remain stubborn, perhaps they might even get ambushed, putting their lives in danger .
"Just you wait, ugly toad . It won't be long before I return . Hopefully you'll still be here waiting for me!"
Before they left, Zhang Che took another longing look at where the Demon Eye Toad disappeared, his gaze deep and cold . . .
