“Did not pierce it?” Lin Xiao was greatly shocked inside. The Purple Corpse Puppet’s fingers had actually failed to pierce the Giant Boneless?
It seemed not even the skin was broken?
Was the Giant Boneless’s skin really that thick, that hard?
In an instant, the Vast Unbreakable surged out. Even as that thick body swept across in front of his palms, a terrifying force shook out. Lin Xiao was shaken far away once more.
Screech!
A piercing shrill cry rang out. Lin Xiao’s eardrums felt as if they were about to burst. He only felt a sharp pain in his ears, and his mind suddenly faltered a bit. At the top of that elongated slender body, a beast mouth suddenly opened wide.
Inside the beast mouth, there was not a single tooth, but Lin Xiao immediately sensed an extreme danger. He felt that if he were swallowed by this Giant Boneless, he would surely die without any chance of survival.
“Sizzle!”
A mass of spirit energy could not help but surge out. It was like a clawing and dancing humanoid form, carrying energies of burning, devouring, and thunder. It rushed towards the beast mouth that was fully a zhang in size.
At the same time, Lin Xiao’s body quickly dodged to the side.
“Bang sizzle!”
The speed of the oncoming beast mouth immediately slowed down. A pained cry rang out. The Giant Boneless’s beast mouth turned pitch black, a burnt smell spread out, and billowing black smoke rose up.
However, Lin Xiao did not stop his attack. He threw out the Yaoguang Severing Sword. With spirit power control, the Yaoguang Severing Sword quickly slashed at the Giant Boneless’s neck not far to the side.
To be precise, this Giant Boneless probably had no neck, but after the beast mouth, it should be its neck area.
The Yaoguang Severing Sword was a special treasure. Perhaps it could slice through the Giant Boneless’s beast skin.
“Puff!”
Sure enough, that long soft body was severed. A section came off, and the charred black beast head flew forward, severed.
At the severed spot, white blood sprayed out, along with a kind of green liquid that sprayed out at the same time. It splashed onto the ground, burning deep holes into it.
After the beast head was severed, the Giant Boneless’s body began to thrash wildly. Its body also started to shorten.
The green liquid inside the Giant Boneless splashed everywhere. When it splashed onto trees, it pierced and rotted them. When it splashed onto a mountain peak, it could directly pierce right through the mountain.
As Lin Xiao retreated and dodged explosively, he thrust out both hands with Vast Unbreakable. At the same time, inside it he condensed a layer of spirit power barrier for defence.
Several streams of green liquid splashed over and impacted on the defence, making intense sizzling sounds. A corrosive green fire ignited outside Lin Xiao’s defence, nearly burning through his two layers of protection.
Fortunately, that green liquid was scarce and soon burnt out.
At this point, Lin Xiao could not help but break out in cold sweat inside.
The liquid inside the Giant Boneless was actually so terrifying. If he were swallowed, he would probably be digested on the spot.
At this time, because the Giant Boneless had failed to attack Lin Xiao with one strike and then targeted Lin Xiao specifically, the surrounding crowd had basically all fled outward. None were splashed by the green liquid, and there were no casualties.
Seeing the Giant Boneless’s head severed, everyone was immediately shocked. They all stopped in the distant void, looking in surprise at the scene.
“It is dead. He actually killed the Giant Boneless.”
“Heavens, how did he do it?”
“Truly terrifying. Even a seventh-grade intermediate spirit controller might not be able to kill a seventh-tier elementary Giant Boneless, yet he did it.”
…
The group were all utterly astonished. Just now they had all been fleeing in panic, so they had not noticed at all how Lin Xiao had killed it.
Only a few had their line of sight just right and saw Lin Xiao controlling a sword to sever the Giant Boneless’s head.
However, they all felt it could not possibly have been just a sword that severed the Giant Boneless’s head.
The Giant Boneless’s skin was very thick. That was the most terrifying part of the Giant Boneless.
Lin Xiao must have used some method to kill the Giant Boneless.
Not long after, the Giant Boneless’s corpse suddenly retracted its body, turning into the size of a mountain pile.
Then it continued to shrink, eventually shrinking to almost invisible. It had become a tiny insect the size of a thumb.
Many people felt surprised.
Lin Xiao was even more astonished inside.
This massive Giant Boneless could actually shrink this small?
How did its body expand?
Or did the Giant Boneless’s insect body expand by being filled with energy or power?
“It should be thoroughly dead, right? Where is its spirit core?” Lin Xiao’s gaze looked towards the severed beast head. He saw that the pitch-black beast head had also shrunk to nearly invisible, leaving only a tiny scrap of black skin.
On the ground lay a spirit core the size of a thumb.
“It is truly dead!” Lin Xiao let out a long breath of relief inside. This thing was too peculiar. Fortunately, the Yaoguang Severing Sword was extraordinary and could sever it.
Otherwise, he would have felt like he had power but nowhere to apply it.
Even the Purple Corpse Puppet’s immense power could not pierce the Giant Boneless’s insect skin.
With a stir of spirit power, Lin Xiao controlled the Giant Boneless’s spirit core, along with that small piece of black skin and the Yaoguang Severing Sword, to fly over.
He looked at the black skin that gave off a burnt smell but saw nothing special. With a flip of his hand, he stored it away. He also stored the spirit core and Yaoguang Severing Sword.
Right then, he flew towards the spot where the Giant Boneless’s body was.
As he flew to the thumb-sized insect corpse of the Giant Boneless, Lin Xiao had the Purple Corpse Puppet fly close to him at the same time. With spirit power control, the insect corpse floated in front of him. Lin Xiao could not help but examine it closely.
However, no matter how he inspected it, he found nothing.
He only felt that this insect body’s skin was very thick and its defence very strong. Although the body had shrunk, if it could be stretched out, it should be able to make a simple defensive weapon.
Even if not, if he found the right formula, this insect corpse should be an extremely expensive medicinal material.
With a stir of spirit power, Lin Xiao immediately stored away that Giant Boneless insect corpse.
“Huff!”
Just at that moment, a fierce howling wind roared. A spirit beast several zhang in size opened its big mouth and pounced roaring towards Lin Xiao.
“Hmm?”
Lin Xiao’s brows furrowed involuntarily. He looked closely and saw that the oncoming spirit beast was not a real spirit beast.
Although its surface was solid and resembled the form and aura of a real spirit beast, its body was only two or three tenths substantialised.
Seven or eight tenths were still transparent.
“Spirit power manifestation! Seventh-grade intermediate spirit controller!” Lin Xiao’s expression changed.
Only a seventh-grade intermediate spirit controller could manifest a spirit beast with two or three tenths substantialisation.
A seventh-grade intermediate spirit controller had made a move on him.
It went without saying that it must be a seventh-grade intermediate spirit controller from Spirit Phoenix Valley who had heard the commotion and rushed over.
Without any panic, Lin Xiao ordered the Purple Corpse Puppet to step forward. The Purple Corpse Puppet thrust out its five fingers, sending five eerie finger lights surging with a sinister terrifying aura towards that spirit beast manifestation.
