Jia Hao didn't wish to engage with the crocodile at all. Distracting it with the meat, Jia Hao simply cast his Six Desires Myriad Thought Arts on it, making it feel gluttony and greed.
Perhaps because of the low intelligence of the crocodile beast, Jia Hao managed to attract its sense towards the meat. Not to mention, the crocodile was so engrossed that it didn't feel Jia Hao's presence.
Greed, one of the three greater sins along with anger and lust, can be very impactful. The greed of receiving a free meal, the gluttony of having a new type of meat, everything made the crocodile susceptible to Jia Hao's attack.
Jia Hao also didn't take chances at all. Seeing the crocodile was in a vulnerable position, Jia Hao simply attacked it with all his might.
His saber shone with a sharp glint as Jia Hao cut precisely at the weak spot of the crocodile.
Blood splattered as the crocodile screeched with pain. However, Jia Hao was already prepared.
