Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 217 A Colossal Behemoth
The premise of Lianjia saving the strength of the heavenly army is mainly to reduce the contact area with the seawater in this way.

Xu Xiaoqing wrapped her arms and legs around Lin Xiufei's waist and body like an octopus.

Even so, the losses of three armored soldiers are greater than those of one person, but far less than the losses of three individuals combined.

If the losses are borne by three people in turns, the losses will be less than if one person goes to sea alone.

The black and red sea offered even worse visibility than a sea of ​​blood.

Lin Xiufeng and Li Ziyou swam in coordination, trying to swim as fast as possible towards the center of the deadly sea.

Lin Xiufeng didn't know what kind of mutated beast was waiting for them deep inside, but whatever it was, they had to kill it today.

He didn't want to waste Tian's strength!

As time goes by, Tianwu's power continues to be depleted.

Lin Xiufeng was somewhat surprised by Xu Xiaoqing's joining.

Does Xu Xiaoqing have such a large reserve of martial arts power?

After five minutes of exploration, they indeed saw the outline of a dragon or snake ahead.

Just then, it was almost time for Xu Xiaoqing to supply Heavenly Martial Power, but instead of injecting Heavenly Martial Power into the Heavenly Martial Armor, she suddenly twisted her body, looking very anxious.

Lin Xiufeng understood... The cunning woman, as cunning as ever!

Having gone this far, Xu Xiaoqing suddenly found herself completely exhausted and unable to continue.

Does Li Ziyou intend to kick her out after the conjoined twins are disbanded and leave her alone?

Li Ziyou angrily slapped Xu Xiaoqing across the face, but in the water, he didn't have much strength and couldn't use much force; it was just a way to vent his frustration.

Ultimately, even if Lin Xiufeng and Li Ziyou took turns bearing the costs, it probably wouldn't exceed the costs of one person acting alone.

At this point, Li Ziyou had no choice but to endure it and bear the subsequent burden for Xu Xiaoqing.

Lin Xiufeng wanted to act alone, but he hadn't yet gathered enough information about the mutated beasts ahead, and he couldn't be sure if it was necessary to team up with Li Ziyou.

Of course, all we could do was hold our noses and bear it.

This is Xu Xiaoqing's cunning; pretending to be exhausted at such a crucial moment is truly a calculated scheme.

Lin Xiufeng and Li Ziyou maintained their conjoined Heavenly Martial Armor and Heavenly Martial Power to repair their depletion, and continued to approach the giant mutated beast ahead.

As they drew closer, Lin Xiufeng realized it was a giant snake.

Head up, body upright in the sea, tail down...

Wait, the tail?
Lin Xiufeng saw that below the snake, in the area where the snake's tail should have been, was a large dark shadow.

Lin Xiufeng suddenly remembered the six-colored tree...

After swimming a while longer, I indeed saw two more snake shadows...

'Could it be Xiangliu from the Classic of Mountains and Seas?'

'A nine-headed serpent, capable of foraging on nine mountains simultaneously.'

'If it really is a Xiangliu, it's so huge and highly mature!'

Lin Xiufeng's heart skipped a beat...

Even among mutated beasts of the same kind, there are differences in size among the mutated beasts in the Heavenly Martial Realm.

For example, a group of onion-deaf mutant beasts can be big or small, strong or thin.

And for special mutant beasts, the size difference can be even greater.

Lin Xiufeng estimated that the clearest snake in front of him, which appeared to be the neck, was about forty meters long and the head was about twelve meters long.

If the dark shadow below is supporting the body of the nine heads, it is estimated to be over 150 meters tall.

This thing is at least 200 meters long!
In comparison, Lin Xiufeng's 30-meter-long Yinglong is only at the level of a newborn!
If this thing were Xiang Liu, could he fight it?
As they continued to move forward, the outline of the nine heads became visible.

The snakes are arranged in a 3x3 grid pattern, with their heads varying in length, presumably related to their hunting habits, as the middle head is the shortest and thinnest.

Lin Xiufeng deduced that when hunting, the middle snake head is at the biggest disadvantage, as it is always further away than the other snake heads, regardless of the direction.

The best parts are probably never reserved for the middle serpent heads, so over time, they end up being the least developed – which is quite reasonable. Hydra doesn't seem to have noticed them yet, or rather, they haven't paid much attention.

They are too small; it's probably how humans perceive mosquitoes—they have no interest in hunting them, which is quite normal.

Lin Xiufeng considered that fighting Xiang Liu's nine snake heads in the water, while also bearing the negative impact of continuously depleting his Heavenly Martial Power, made his chances of winning... truly difficult to assess.

Lin Xiufeng thought Li Ziyou would retreat, but unexpectedly he saw Li Ziyou condense a silver Heavenly Martial Sword, clearly intending to fight!
Lin Xiufeng quickly waved his hand and pointed downwards, and Xu Xiaoqing, who was sandwiched in the middle, quickly twisted her body to remind Li Ziyou.

Li Ziyou noticed Lin Xiufei's signal, understood, and immediately adjusted his direction to cooperate, heading downstream together.

Lin Xiufeng didn't want to fight the Hydra. If he had to fight, he would naturally have to attack the serpent's body.

It's like a six-bodied, six-colored tree; the key lies in its roots.

Moreover, Lin Xiufeng discovered that the length of the hydra's head and neck should not be able to reach the bottom.

In other words, if you can keep attacking from below the Hydra, then the nine heads will become useless.

'How did this strange-looking thing survive until now?'

Lin Xiufeng couldn't help but wonder if there was something strange about Xiang Liu's body.

As they descended, Xiangliu's snake-like body gradually became clearer.

It is the body of the giant snake, which is much thicker than its head and neck, with a diameter of eighteen meters. That is why it looks like a black shadow.

Actually, we were too far away to see what was below.

Xiangliu's body swayed and twisted in the water, and from above, it looked like a large black shadow.

Lin Xiufeng estimated that it was about 180 meters long; it was indeed a behemoth!

Based on his experience fighting Yinglong, he would have no chance against such a behemoth under normal circumstances!

Although Lin Xiufeng has an eight-star system that Renxing possesses, his actual combat effectiveness is on another level.

But the difference in raw power isn't that significant; it's unlikely they could contend with such a colossal behemoth.

Li Ziyou is experienced in combat; how could he not know how formidable he is?
Where did he get the courage?

Lin Xiufeng couldn't help but wonder... was Li Ziyou plotting against him?
As he was thinking, he felt Xu Xiaoqing's fingers repeatedly tracing lines on his abdomen, clearly indicating:

The phrase "to kill someone with a borrowed knife" is used.

Lin Xiufeng pondered this, and if that were the case, he could roughly guess what Li Ziyou would do next.

Just then, Xu Xiaoqing started writing on his abdomen again. After she finished writing, she moved her hand down.

Is this the place?

This was repeated several times.

But Xu Xiaoqing's guess was correct.

'So that's how it is. This venomous woman had already discovered the location of Li Ziyou's Heavenly Martial Heart, but wasn't sure. She encountered me, knew the wonders of the Shattering Star Technique, and hoped to confirm it through me…'

'If Li Ziyou truly intends to harm me, then this venomous woman will be my ultimate weapon against him.'

'As for that venomous woman, if she wants Li Ziyou's scheme to succeed and she decides to eliminate us all, then she'll have her regrets!'

Lin Xiufeng quickly figured it out and nodded in the water.

Xu Xiaoqing's face lit up with joy. Suddenly, she turned around abruptly, facing Li Ziyou's back, and hugged him.

Lin Xiufeng knew Xu Xiaoqing's scheming and couldn't help but think of the ending of the Golden Knife and Silver Sword.

'This venomous woman is most likely trying to replicate her past success.'

Li Ziyou was very unhappy, but he couldn't forcefully get rid of Xu Xiaoqing, so he had to endure it for the time being.

Seeing Li Ziyou wave his hand, his silver longsword pointing at Xiang Liu's burly body, Lin Xiufeng immediately waved his black Tianwu sword as well, signaling to attack together.

So, Li Ziyou and Lin Xiufeng swam together toward Xiangliu's snake-like body, which was more than ten meters thick.
