Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 93, Episode 092: Aerial Combat! Perfected Swordsmanship!

"withdraw!?"

"Dry!!"

The fire-thunderbolts did not achieve the desired effect, so Qi Heng instinctively chose to take a longer-term approach.

But he wasn't a coward who only cared about escaping the battle.

As he made the loud suggestion, the wolf-fang lightning bolts shooting out from the bone spear showed no fear whatsoever, and were even extremely powerful!

Even if they have to retreat, Qi Heng will first help Ling Xiao hold off the enemy!

After receiving the latter's resolute response, he didn't even need to adjust his steps.

A thunderstorm is brewing at the tip of the spear!

Charge forward with all your might!

As the "grenadier," Ling Xiao naturally received special attention from the leader, the monstrous snake.

Despite the thick layer of water shield, the giant serpent, which slithered along, remained unharmed.

The wonders of the Azure Wave Realm were also revealed in the explosion of the fire and thunder. The flames that should have dried up the surrounding waters went out after touching that strange body of water.

The result is that Ling Xiao and Qi Heng now have to fight on the monster's home turf.

Home ground in every sense of the word.

The explosive damage from the fire and thunder was also largely neutralized by the Azure Wave Domain. The ordinary monster snakes that should have been severely injured or even killed were now surging forward with the leader!

but……

The waters are not just the domain of monsters.

Even though the help Ling Xiao gets from the water is far less than that of the boss monster with the Azure Wave Domain, as long as he is not restricted, it is already the best home ground for him!

In terms of attributes alone, he now even faintly surpasses this leader-level Azure Wave Serpent!

"hiss!"

The water shield that crashed into him seemed fierce, but Ling Xiao could see the trajectory of its movement.

Once you've caught it, the prerequisite for dodging is naturally there.

With his many abilities and talents, Ling Xiao simply took a step and twisted his body slightly, "passing" through the edge of the water shield.

The level 15 boss monster was no pushover; once it sensed the target's movements, it gave chase!

The burly snake's body lashed out like a whip with the sudden exertion of its muscles!

The knotted muscles tore through the air at that moment!

Ling Xiao could even hear the "whooshing" sound of the wind.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Ling Xiao, who had intended to take the opportunity to strike, immediately used [Rapid Evasion]!

The thick body of the snake rolled over the afterimage.

Its sweeping power and the area it covers are virtually unstoppable.

The only direction to dodge is naturally towards the air.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao's understanding of space far surpasses that of ordinary people.

Even if his position changes frequently in a short period of time, he will not hesitate and can smoothly carry out the next action.

Thus, the figure, still in mid-air, was propelled by some force and nimbly fell onto the back of the Azure Serpent leader with a speed that defied free fall.

Is swordsmanship only for fighting?

That would be a big mistake!

The Wind Trace Qi, a unique product, can not only cause damage, but Ling Xiao can also use it in other creative ways!

Especially since there were countless raindrops in the air!

The previous bumper harvest has also upgraded the newly acquired derivative talents such as [Water Flow Manipulation] to the [Excellent] level.

Currently, in Ling Xiao's panel, the [Heart of Gluttony] and its thirteen derivative talents have all reached the [Excellent] level!

The spatial perception granted by the [Dimensional Apostle] is a fixed version and cannot be improved on its own.

I can only wait until I get promoted to see if there's a chance to advance further.

The [Grinding Teeth and Sucking Blood] skill, while being of the highest quality, has reached its limit.

Even so, the large expanse of emerald green interspersed with a touch of icy blue in the talent bar is enough to make Ling Xiao proud!

But he didn't.

He just kept swinging his knife!

Its feet were firmly planted on the snake's back as if rooted to the ground. The Iron Heart Blade emitted layers of surging blood flames, and endless "firebirds" splashed up keratin fragments and debris from the collision of water and fire as the blade struck the tightly closed scales!

The leader of the Azure Serpents charged around like a runaway train.

Lingxiao, clinging to the bone like a maggot, could still unleash a slash even while swaying at high speed, which was simply unbelievably powerful!

However, this exhilarating attack did not last long.

Ling Xiao naturally wanted to keep cutting until it broke in two, but the owner of this body was quite unwilling!

The forward momentum suddenly stopped; living things can always perform actions that are unimaginable to machines.

The snake's head was held high as it looked back.

Driven by its own power, the large spray of water from the snake's body cascaded down onto the ants on its back!

Water curtain and arrow rain!

Compared to the sparse water arrows before, this is the scale that an arrow rain should have!

time to go……

But where can I possibly run off to?

Behind them were hordes of pursuers rushing in; if they jumped down, they would likely be crushed in a sweeping attack.

Ling Xiao originally lacked the confidence to "parry," but the [Whirlwind Shadowless Sword Technique] is more than just a sword technique.

Just like his use of subtle wind force.

Some moves can be used not only offensively, but also brilliantly on the defensive end!

A storm is brewing!

The energy spread, sweeping and expanding!

It wasn't large, but it was enough to cover the area in front of Ling Xiao.

The dense water arrows collided one after another with the rapidly spinning mass of energy, the spiritual power contained within them eroding and consuming each other...

Seeing that the Azure Serpent was disregarding martial ethics, it was pulling the continuous stream of water into arrows and shooting them at them. Even the rising wind and surging clouds could not withstand such an attack.

The time gained was enough for Ling Xiao to prepare a new move.

Moreover, this brief exchange was merely the prelude to the entire battle.

Qi Heng, who was not far away, had already arrived on horseback!

Lightning struck before the bone spear!

A blazing branch shot out and struck the Azure Serpent's head from the side!

The violent impact and destruction failed to damage the root cause, but it did cause it to deviate from its original course.

The dense stream of water jets was forced to stop just as it was forming a continuous stream.

Qi Heng leaped into the air and thrust his spear, but suddenly stopped in mid-air.

It turned out that his feet had somehow gotten entangled in the water and climbed up!

Within the Azure Wave Domain, the serpent leader's various abilities were greatly enhanced.

Not to mention that the original ordinary [Water Prison Binding] has been upgraded to the [Water Cage] for bosses only.

Qi Heng found it difficult to break free for a moment!

Although he was surrounded by rolling lightning, causing the cage formed by the water to tremble, it only restricted him for a moment.

The snake's head blocked out the sunlight, and its enormous body, wrapped in waves, was about to crash down!

bang——

A fireball, neither too big nor too small, exploded on the back of the strange snake.

It doesn't cause much harm, but it's extremely insulting.

Not much internal energy had penetrated the BOSS's body previously.

Detonating it now would allow the opponent to suffer a silent loss.

But Ling Xiao's intentions had already been achieved.

He doesn't need to give orders.

Freed from his predicament, Qi Heng was consumed by fighting spirit. His body crackling with violent electricity, he roared, "Thunderbolt Impact!"

The sudden explosion earlier distorted the snake's movements, causing it to crash down prematurely, ultimately landing in front of Qi Heng in a daze.

With a strong physique, such damage can naturally be exempted.

However, the dizziness transmitted back by the recoil is difficult to eliminate!

Even a moment of stunned silence, less than a second, is an opportunity!

The lightning at the tip of the bone spear pierced the wave shield, exploding into a puddle of water and disappearing directly into the serpent's nose!

The boss is in pain!

He suddenly swung his head and fired a chaotic, dense rain of arrows forward!

Unable to pursue, Qi Heng could only defend himself with his spear, using lightning to shatter the incoming water arrows, but he was still forced to retreat step by step by the impact.

Ling Xiao shouldn't have missed this opportunity.

But he underestimated the monster's madness.

Perhaps the attack on their hideout and the sight of their leader being brutally beaten enraged the remaining underlings.

Ling Xiao, who hadn't even rolled off the BOSS yet, was attacked by an ordinary spirit snake without regard for its own life!

There was absolutely no water jet output.

Looking around, all he could see were strange snakes swimming towards him, trying to knock him off!

Although these monsters are much smaller, they are still quite large compared to humans.

They are hurtling towards us right now, and even Ling Xiao cannot ignore them.

With a swing of his longsword, he cleaved several fearless, monstrous snakes in two.

Ling Xiao thus missed the opportunity to join forces with Qi Heng.

However, as the guild leader of "Light of Green Hills" and the undisputed number one in the original 61035 district, the latter's combat power has never shown its limit.

It grows stronger when faced with a strong opponent; the frenzied lightning almost illuminated the entire area!

The enormous snake head, having regained its strength, rammed into the ant that had injured it, only to be wounded once more!

The Wave Shield, which couldn't be broken even by dozens of fireballs stacked together, was now being blasted apart by him with a single shot!

"Thunder Dragon Tail Swing!"

Ling Xiao, who was dealing with the increasing number of strange snakes, was also thrown off balance by the twisting of his feet.

Fortunately, the combination of [Strange Balance] and [Magic Hands and Feet] prevented him from falling directly.

"Damn it! Xiao Ge, where are you?! Are you playing Xu Xian in the back?!"

"Please help me! I can't take it anymore!"

Ling Xiao was in a sorry state, and the swarm of snakes around him, which was chilling to look at, was also jostled and knocked about by the boss's rolling around.

The latest novel is first published here!

Upon hearing Qi Heng's plea for help, he rushed towards the snake's head without hesitation, stepping on the scales.

The "mound" underfoot kept undulating.

He hadn't run two steps when he saw Qi Heng pressing down on the snake's head and unleashing a barrage of attacks.

Every now and then it would let out a startled cry, as if it were something very difficult.

What you think in your mind doesn't affect what you do with your hands.

Ling Xiao wasn't sure where the vital spot was on this giant snake, so he simply activated his skill towards the back of the snake's neck, which corresponded to its head.

Wind and Fire Combo!

Plus the Gale Shadow Slash!

The latter can be used not only in the final act, but also in advance to accumulate wind trace energy!

Combos are not a rigid set of moves; the key to power lies in knowing how to adapt.

With its fire elemental affinity, Lingxiao's Flame Strike has dealt significantly increased damage.

Moreover, his understanding of water is now quite profound.

The strange snake beneath him attempted to manipulate the surrounding water flow, and Ling Xiao was able to sense the anomaly the moment it occurred.

Of course, whether or not it can be stopped is another matter.

Ultimately, his ability to "control water" was "borrowed" from the Azure Wave Serpent.

A novice meets a master; a thief bumps into the real culprit.

Ling Xiao had tried to fight, but he failed and had no choice but to give up.

However, while he can't seize control of the waters, he can still sabotage things behind the scenes to hinder them.

The leader of the Azure Serpent tried several times to stir up trouble and completely wipe out the damned humans in front of him!

But in the moments when you're trying to stir up trouble, there's always a feeling of being "powerless."

that's the truth.

What was originally a high wall of water waves, once truly stirred up, always allowed Qi Heng to find a relatively "short" weak point to penetrate.

Exhausted and covered in injuries, the BOSS's rage bar is about to fill up.

Another stabbing blow pierced through flesh. The Azure Serpent abruptly shook off the annoying Qi Heng. Behind it, the leech-like Ling Xiao was its most hated enemy.

The water within the area surged violently!

Layer upon layer, they surged and flew, enveloping us like thorns!

The Water Cage is not only a technique for trapping enemies, but it can also be used to kill them!

This time, there's truly no way to avoid it.

Although Ling Xiao saw through the abnormality of the water flow, the overwhelming water spikes formed too quickly, giving him no chance to escape.

The greatest threat is not the tightening cage.

The real killing move is the snake's bite as it turns around and opens its mouth to bite!

The Azure Serpent doesn't make a move unless it's absolutely necessary, but when it does, it's determined to tear a person to shreds!

In the most critical moments, Ling Xiao is often able to lock down the boundaries while his mind is in a state of extreme tension.

Under the influence of [Unwavering Will] and [Eternal Heart], nothing can cause him to die in panic.

Unless it exceeds the limits of his mental capacity and directly "scares" him to death.

Otherwise.

When facing a desperate situation, Ling Xiao will only activate his most calm and fiercely competitive state!

Two heavens of ice and fire!

Facing that gaping, blood-red maw that was about to bite, one could almost smell the stench emanating from it.

Ling Xiao, however, took a calm but brief breath and took the initiative to step forward to meet him.

The amplification of movement techniques such as Gale Step is pushed to the limit!

His casual movement shattered the water droplets along the way.

Sudden stop, leap forward!

Seeing its prey willingly enter its mouth, the Azure Wave Serpent instinctively bit down hard!

A flash of lightning appeared before their eyes, tearing through layers of cages with unparalleled force.

The figure inside seemed to be shouting something, but Ling Xiao thought it was too slow to hear.

Everything slowed down.

Raindrops shattered into pieces as they hit the scales; blood oozing from the wound on the BOSS's head formed a not-so-straight line; saliva from the fangs traced an unsightly arc...

Gently step on the pedal, and take off!

The left toe landed precisely on the Azure Serpent's jaw, while the right foot stomped heavily on the serpent's head as it ascended into the air.

Before the water spikes, standing upright like halberds, closed in, Ling Xiao found the only feasible route and executed it without hesitation.

ka ka ka-

I could almost hear a biting sound coming from below.

The thorns intertwined, like the mouth of a man-eating flower suddenly closing, blocking the giant snake that had missed its target!

The slowly distorted world seemed to be soaked by rain, suddenly becoming clear.

The hideous maw collapsed, and a snake's head rose into the sky from within!

Qi Heng had already slammed his full-force attack into the soft belly of the Azure Wave Serpent, but it failed to attract its attention.

This level 15 boss monster is determined to tear apart the most hateful humans before it dies!

In mid-air, Lingxiao, who had little leverage, was still able to continue rising using his initial velocity and did not fall.

However, the giant snake chasing from below was increasing its speed explosively!

Before its body on the ground runs out of steam, it can obviously provide enough support to catch up with the damned ant.

A hopeless realm devoid of sky and earth, where even the rain cannot be controlled...

The fierce winds created by the intersecting air currents scattered Lingxiao's messy hair.

The raincoat stretched out like wings, flapping incessantly.

A sudden inspiration.

According to physics formulas, its initial velocity has been completely lost, and it's time for it to fall freely.

The wind...stopped...

The crimson flames that had accompanied the Iron Heart Blade for so long have dissipated, replaced by a vast, clear blue wind.

A light yet extremely careful slash.

The formation of tornadoes was a natural progression, and they even appeared to be forming groups of three to five!

The snake's head was caught off guard by the sudden attack, but its upward momentum did not stop.

But Ling Xiao, who was immersed in a kind of joy and jubilation at this moment, was not anxious.

The tornado dissipated, but the "qi" remained.

Moreover, there are many, a great many!

Then...

Full version - Gale Shadow Slash!

The Iron Heart Blade, gleaming with a pale blue light, slashed out hundreds of wind streaks in a single second!

The structures are densely packed, especially in the central area, where even a wisp of breath cannot escape!

The fishing net caught a big fish.

The fish died and the net was broken?

It is merely a trace of wind and energy, so how can it be considered destructive?

There was no cooling down, and no after-swing at all.

Ling Xiao attacked again, unleashing a torrent of spiritual energy while simultaneously drawing a deadly net.

The snake's head, already badly damaged and barely intact, eventually shattered into countless pieces of flesh and blood.

Qi Heng, who couldn't fly, was firing his gun like a madman, and all the monsters that dared to approach were instantly shattered by the intense lightning!

Suddenly, the snake's body, whose bones were already visible, shuddered violently.

He took two steps back, anxiously looked up, only to be soaked to the bone.

Fortunately, thanks to the comprehensive protection of the [Thunder Pool], nothing got on them.

Amidst the rain of blood, a figure descended from the sky.

"Holy crap... Xiao-ge, just fuck it to death..."

"A dog barking?"
