The eight-headed hydra that had been slashed did not pay attention to Lin Xuan. Although it had been chopped off by someone and did not have its peak earth-rank body, the defense of the hydra skin and the quality of the muscle were all true peak earth-rank.
Lin Xuan was just a low-level mystic-rank newbie. It was impossible for him to break through the earth-rank’s armor defense casually. At most, it would just feel like an itch.
However, the dignity of earth-rank didn’t allow anyone to provoke him!
After opening his mouth and spitting out a mouthful of black flame, Lin Xuan had to respond with intense concentration. After slashing several times, he finally blocked his blade horizontally in front of him and was pushed back hundreds of meters, only then did he block this wave.
His face turned extremely ugly. The difference was too great. If the eight-headed hydra wanted to leave Taixia Country and didn’t target Lin Xuan at all, this battle wouldn’t even be here!
“How is it? Isn’t it very exciting?”
Li Rui finally rushed over here and he panted as he asked Lin Xuan. After killing a few mystic-rank sea beasts to recover his physical strength and mana, he finally calmed down.
“What’s there to be excited about? I almost lost. The difference is too big. Even if it was heavily injured, the essence of an earth-rank pinnacle is still the same. I can’t block its black flames. Why don’t you give it a try?!”
“If you can’t block it, how can I block it? I can’t block its attack. As long as I don’t let it hit me, it’s fine, isn’t it?!”
Looking at the hydra head in front of him, Li Rui licked his lips. This was a great opportunity. If he could hold it tightly, he didn’t know how much time he could save in cultivation.
“Oh, I’m a tank-type guardian, not an agility-type guardian. There’s only one head here… it seems like there’s something going on!”
With its neck broken, it was inconvenient to turn its head around. Its agility was greatly reduced. In addition, the sword light from before had chopped off its head, and it had some sort of power of law attached to it. It had yet to dissipate, it was still holding onto the little life force it had left.
As time passed, unless the head of the eight-headed hydra could return to the body, even if the two of them did not do anything, they would be worn to death sooner or later.
Moreover, the sea-toppling overlord had stabbed his spear and blinded one of its eyes.
“Then I’ll make the first move to harass it, and you’ll be the main attacker.”
Lin Xuan sized up Li Rui, pursed his lips, and shook his head. Speed was one of his biggest weaknesses, so he could only harass it himself.
“Sorry to trouble you, I… I’ll owe you one!”
Li Rui was silent for a while, and in the end, he said sincerely. He had originally wanted to give something to thank Lin Xuan, but after thinking carefully, he realized that he had nothing on him. He and his sister were dependent on each other, and his sister was still sick, in addition to his terrifying appetite after cultivating the eternal indestructible immeasurable calamity, he never had anything
“Then owe me well. When you become invincible, block my wave of blades!”
Stepping on the wind and waves, he activated his ying azure dragon bloodline and transformed into a half-dragon man. The flame blade in his hand was also activated and the layers of scales on the blade sparkled, black flames were attached to the edge of the blade.
“Slash!”
Advanced Swordsmanship — Wind and Rain Breath!
This blade had fused with the Bloodline Supernatural Ability — Wind and Rain Summoning, Wind Supreme — Sharp, and Water Supreme — Floating. Its power could only be described as terrifying. After all, it had always been used to combine spells into supernatural power, this was the first time someone had fused the mighty power of supernatural power into a spell.
However, no matter how strong this slash was, it was only a spell. It was a spell created by a mystic-rank rookie. It was impossible to break the defense of a hydra skin at the peak of the earth-rank. Even a low-level earth-rank boss would find it difficult to break the defense.
However, this slash landed on the broken neck. It had already been injured by Wang Wu, so it had already broken through the defense. Even the slightest injury was like adding salt to the wound. Immediately, the head of the eight-headed hydra howled.
In the next moment, the furious eight-headed hydra turned around and stared coldly at Lin Xuan with its pupils. The anger in its eyes seemed to be about to spill out.
Not to mention, its appearance was quite frightening. Of its two pupils, one was already blind and the other was covered in blood. Suddenly, its tongue spat out a cluster of terrifying black flames, it immediately tried to pounce on Lin Xuan.
Danger, a terrifying life-and-death danger!
It directly wiggled itself and allowed itself to be submerged by the sea. Then, it relied on its swimming ability to quickly leave this area.
After swimming for half a minute, it finally popped its head out from the distant sea. The seawater nearby was boiling, and even the seawater area where Lin Xuan was currently was warm.
“F*ck, this is ridiculous. Li Rui, why don’t we give up!”
Lin Xuan shouted. Seeing that Li Rui did not agree, he was probably determined to have a bite of the hydra meat. “F*ck, but the hydra meat is so delicious!”
“Look straight at me, you b*stard!”
Lin Xuan roared, immediately causing the eight-headed hydra to change its direction and turn toward him again.
It was a taunt skill. Before this, it did not have much of a presence, but now it was finally showing its brilliance. This was the core skill of the class, and it involved the rules. Even if it was a yellow-rank rookie, using this skill could also affect an earth-rank!
Its value was an extremely high priority!
The eight-headed hydra couldn’t help but turn around. Anger filled its thoughts.
“Li Rui, take advantage of this moment to deal with it!”
Hearing this, Li Rui finally completed his transformation. Activating his void bloodline, activating his cogitation of fear, and fusing the Glazed body and the hundred difficulties soul. What caught Lin Xuan’s attention was that this smell was a little familiar, it seemed to be similar to his innate body.
The fearful feelings descended again. The void insect behind him seemed to be shining with wisdom and spirituality.
Li Rui suddenly opened his eyes. The world in his eyes showed another reality. Black and white were the base colors, while fear was the only emotion. The giant hydra head in front of him was emitting light, anyone could tell that it was a treasured hydra head with just one look!
“Leave the rest to me!”
Lin Xuan’s mission was considered completed. Although it looked very simple and only stopped the hydra-head from leaving, Lin Xuan was very clear about the dangers involved. He would be injured if he touched it. Facing this eight-headed hydra head at the peak of earth-rank was basically asking for death.
The few attacks just now had also let him know that it was impossible for him to kill the other party by himself. In fact, even sprinkling salt on his wounds would’ve probably felt like nothing.
However, Li Rui said that he would leave the rest to him, probably because he had the confidence to kill it or had a trump card.
Alright then, he would just have to wait quietly. If that didn’t work… Then he would just go home. After all, Lin Xuan didn’t have too much of an obsession with hydra meat.
