Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

So fast!

Liu Nian's pupils constricted slightly.

Dozens of afterimages remained in the air, densely packed and overwhelming. Simultaneously, the sound of air being torn apart came from all directions—a sharp whistling, a deafening explosion that made it impossible to distinguish which was the real entity and which was the illusion.

Moreover, these afterimages seem to have a mind-disrupting effect, constantly swaying, overlapping, and distorting in front of the eyes, making people feel dizzy, nauseous, and want to vomit.

Liu Nian simply closed his eyes.

Dozens of afterimages struck Liu Nian in the blink of an eye—

-988 million!

-1457 million!

-1245 million!

……

All the afterimage attacks dealt real damage!

Liu Nian frowned slightly.

Something's going on—are all those afterimages real?

He suddenly lifted his foot and landed heavily on the ground—

boom!!

The earth roared! A shockwave spread wildly from him, cracking the ground and splashing swamp wherever it passed. All the afterimages were shattered and disappeared like bubbles.

But the true form of the Scale-Splitter is not among them.

"Interesting!" Her voice came from all directions, tinged with laughter. "Again!"

Before she finished speaking, she pounced on him again.

This time, her attack was even more unpredictable.

Her body was boneless, able to twist and fold at will. Even when attacking from the front, her arms could circle around from the side, like a living snake, silently stabbing at his ribs; even when she had already dodged to the left, her tail would lash out from the right, accompanied by the sound of wind cutting through the air.

Moreover, her attacks are accompanied by various bizarre toxins—

Neurotoxins, Coagulants, Corrosive Toxins, and Confusing Toxins

Each toxin is troublesome on its own, but when combined, they can put an opponent in serious trouble.

But suddenly—

A giant snake's phantom suddenly emerged from Liu Nian's shadow!

The phantom was ten meters long, entirely black, with scales that gleamed with a chilling light. It opened its massive mouth and began to move in and out of Liu Nian's body—it was devouring the toxins!

The protection of the Serpent God has taken effect!

The negative effects on Liu Nian disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lie Lin's expression changed slightly, but she didn't stop.

She continued to wander, constantly changing her position, like a red lightning bolt weaving around Liu Nian.

Her equipment was a full set of legendary gear, and she also had an eternal ring on her hand!

Her ranking as fifth in the entire realm is a testament to her genuine strength, not just empty fame!

After several rounds, she astutely discovered Liu Nian's weakness—

Compared to its exaggerated offense and defense, it's not very agile! And it lacks ranged attack methods!

She immediately changed her strategy, never getting close to Liu Nian with her main body, but instead constantly harassing him with various clones, illusions, ranged attacks, and poisons.

Because she knew that Liu Nian could fail countless times, but if he succeeded even once, she would die!

Liu Nian indeed lacks many long-range attack methods—this is his weakness, and he himself is aware of it. His strength lies in power and defense, while speed and agility are not his strengths.

Therefore, Liu Nian learned several movement skills and even Dragon Seal of Ten Thousand Borders to make up for this.

However, once Liu Nian learned the Divine Dragon Transformation and the Law of Heaven and Earth, this shortcoming was long since made up for by his enormous size advantage.

Even now, with the Serpent God protecting him, Riftscale's fancy ranged magical attacks pose virtually no threat to him. Poison, spells, and curses alike will all be devoured by the Serpent God!

Liu Nian stood still, like a rock, unmoved as the tide pounded against him.

Finally, during one of its movements, Rift Scale was a fraction of a second too slow and was locked onto by Liu Nian, who then made his move.

Shadow Strike!

His figure instantly transformed into a black line, traversing a distance of more than ten meters, and appeared directly in front of Lie Lin!

Lie Lin's pupils constricted sharply, and he instinctively raised his hand to block—

late.

Liu Nian punched her right arm!

boom!!

Flesh and blood exploded!

Rift Scale's right arm exploded from the shoulder down, shattering into a bloody mist!

Normally, even if this punch doesn't kill Riftscale, it would at least severely damage her.

But Liu Nian found that the blood streaks on the cracked scales did not move at all.

Liu Nian frowned.

What's going on?

He watched in disbelief as the wound on the severed arm began to writhe wildly, and granulation tissue grew, intertwined, and took shape at a visible speed. In just two seconds, a completely new arm grew from the break, exactly the same as the original, down to the color of the scales.

Rift Scale had already taken the opportunity to retreat and create distance.

Liu Nian didn't chase after him. He just looked down at his fist, then at Lie Lin's newly grown arm, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

interesting.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation—the damage from the attack was not reflected in his total health, but was instead absorbed independently in the form of limbs.

Liu Nian squinted.

Therefore, you should strike a vital spot directly, such as the head!

Lie Lin also noticed Liu Nian's gaze and subconsciously turned his head slightly.

The two faced off for a few seconds.

The battle continues.

They went back and forth for more than ten rounds.

Each hit of the Scale Split can deal at least 500 million damage; for an average player, it would take them down in just a few hits.

Moreover, she possesses exceptional survivability; unless struck directly in the head, she can always avoid fatal damage by sacrificing limbs. Coupled with her terrifying agility and unpredictable abilities to create clones, illusions, and deadly poisons, she is indeed a formidable opponent.

But Liu Nian also figured out her background.

For Liu Nian, the strength of Rift Scales can be categorized as skill-based strength, and its numerical value poses no threat to Liu Nian.

She relies solely on a combination of speed, clones, and poison to keep her opponents constantly on their toes. But as long as the opponent can withstand her damage, ignore her poison, and catch her true form—

Then all she had left was to run away.

And Liu Nian happens to be just such an opponent.

"That's about it," Liu Nian murmured.

The curtain of eternal night has fallen! Darkness instantly engulfs the battlefield!

The moment Riftscale's vision was taken away, it realized that danger was coming!

She wanted to back out, but it was too late.

The Night Curtain's lock-on teleportation effect brought Liu Nian directly to Lie Lin's front!

Soul-draining, devastating blow!

A punch landed squarely on his forehead!

boom!!!

Rift Scale's head shattered into a bloody mist.

Liu Nian withdrew his fist, looking at the headless, scaled body.

But the next second, his brows furrowed.

His body was still standing; he wasn't dead!

At the point where the neck was severed, flesh and blood were writhing, contracting, and reorganizing. In just a few seconds, a complete head had grown back from the neck!

Liu Nian squinted.

How could it survive?

Is this guy capable of infinite rebirth?

Lie Lin twisted his neck, his eyes filled with fervor.

"You're really strong!" Her voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement. "But I can tell you weren't serious!"

She paused, a smile playing on her lips.

"Then let me try—where are your limits!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than something strange happened.

The dozens of snake-men around, including Scale Flame, all let out a shrill scream at the same time.

Liu Nian's pupils constricted slightly.

He saw that the snake-men's bodies seemed to be collapsing internally, their scales falling off, their skin melting and dissolving like wax... In just a few seconds, dozens of snake-men turned into a lump of incomprehensible flesh and blood on the ground, but soon, this flesh and blood transformed into giant dark purple snakes.

Those snakes had legs that were over ten meters long, their bodies radiated a purple light, and their eyes burned with purple flames.

They began to surge towards the rift scales...
