Obsidian Gator put his spike shield forward and charged with his maximum speed. His task was only one. It was to stop the man's movement in front of him.

Tang Shaoyang then swung the Dragon Destroyer diagonally upward when the Obsidian Gator was within his range.

Bang!

The Dragon Destroyer's ax blade cut through the spike shield, and the Obsidian Gator was flung away from the impact of the clash. It was like a bullet, the Obsidian Gator was accelerated in the air like a bullet and crashed on the trees.

Tang Shaoyang was not done yet. He activated another movement skill, [Volant Step]. He kicked the empty air and made a turnaround. With a flap of his wing, he flew toward Silver who was coming for him.

The Silver Steel Gator had developed a trauma from the clash against him. Silver slowed down his speed the moment he noticed Tang Shaoyang was coming for him. The result of the clash between the Obsidian Gator and Tang Shaoyang was telling him that he would be an idiot to confront his opponent head-on.

Tang Shaoyang straight ignored the two Golden Gators that likely the most excelled in the close combat. When he noticed that the Silver Steel Gator slowed down, a smirk formed on his lips. He made an unexpected decision by throwing the battle-ax toward him.

Sure enough, Silver was caught off guard that the flying battle-ax quickly arrived in front of him. He stiffened for a little bit but he managed to take a sidestep to dodge the flying battle-ax. Who would expect that his opponent would throw the main weapon he used? Silver barely dodged the flying battle-ax. Then he looked in Tang Shaoyang's direction only to find the guy was missing.

"Above you, Silver!" Goldier warned him but that was too late.

Silver noticed the shadow hovering over him. He looked up and saw a kick dropped to his head. The kick was too fast and came from an unexpected angle that he could not react in time to defend himself from the attack.

Tang Shaoyang's right heels were covered in Slayer Energy, and the dropkick landed on Silver's sinciput.

(Sinciput: the front of the skull from the forehead to the crown. Just in case you guys don't know because I just know that area called sinciput in English.)

Silver's vision shook and blurred as the kick landed on his head. His body swayed to the right and left. Tang Shaoyang flew down to the level where his knee was around Silver's chest level. Then he delivered the knee to Silver's jaw. At that moment, Silver was blacked out as his body was about to fall from the attack.

Tang Shaoyang's hand reached Silver's neck before it could fall to the ground. After that, he flew toward the Dragon Destroyer. He once again ignored the two Golden Gators. He felt that he would be at a disadvantage if he fought the Myth Rank now. He wanted to kill the other two gators first and gain some levels.

As he rushed to retrieve the battle-ax, he cast [Slayer Touch]. Silver's body shook fiercely, convulsing but no words came out from Silver.

Goldier and his brother were shocked to see Silver convulsed fiercely in the opponent's hand, "What are you doing to Silver!?" Goldier roared.

Tang Shaoyang smiled playfully, "I will snap his neck if you come closer to me," He was not expecting this would work but it actually worked. The two brothers stopped their advancement. The distance between the two was ten meters away. Ten meters was so close for them as they could move ten meters in the blink of an eye. However, Goldier did not dare to make any move at the sight of his friend being strangled.

"Coward! Fight us if you dare!" Goldier's brother shouted at Tang Shaoyang.

"There's no coward in a battle. There's only a winner and a loser. The winner will take everything, and the loser will lose everything. Your cheap provocation won't work on me, stupid lizard!" Tang Shaoyang grinned at the Goldier Brother who tried to provoke him. He then glanced at Silver who was still convulsing fiercely.

"Let's make a truce. We will allow you to pass through the swamp without being attacked, and you will return Silver to us," Goldier suddenly made an unexpected proposal.

"Brother! How can you do that? We just need to retrieve Silver from him. Why would we spare this coward that has been avoiding us all the time!" Goldier's Brother did not agree with the proposal.

"Shut up! I am the Grand Chief, and I will be the one who decides when we will fight and when we will retreat!" Goldier sternly rebuked his brother. Of course, there was a reason behind the compromise. It was Silver's future that would make the Gator Tribe reach a new height. Yes, from the five Elders, Silver had the highest chance to reach Myth Rank before the other four. Goldier did not want to lose the excellent warrior of his tribe.

This was bad luck where Silver encountered the worst opponent he had. Not only did the opponent overwhelm Silver in Strength but also in speed. That was tough luck.

At this moment, the Obsidian Gator regrouped with the two Golden Gators. There was a big cut and deep cut on the spike shield, and the shield was bleeding. The dark red blood flowed from the cut, and the regeneration did not work to stop the bleeding despite The Gator's high vitality. The Slayer Energy did the work wonderfully.

Goldier's Brother was aghast at the sight of this. The spike shield was part of the Obsidian Gator's body, not an external shield that could be thrown away when it was broken.

"Hmmmn, That's a tempting proposal indeed. I can reach The Beast Coven faster…" His voice was getting lower at the end of his words as a wide smirk formed on his lips, "But why would I agree with that?"

"You have been avoiding me because you are not sure that you could win against me. This is a win-win for us. You get what you want and…" Goldier paused as his eyes widened in fury. Silver, who had been convulsing in Tang Shaoyang's hand, suddenly stopped moving.

"Oh… I accidentally killed one of your Elders," A wide grin plastered on his face as Tang Shaoyang said that.
