Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 70 A Single Thought Decides Victory

The carcasses of the small black fish on the lake surface all gathered towards the center of the lake.

"Could it be the King of Monster Fish?"

He stared intently until the blood from his forehead wound began to flow down and obstruct his view. Then he tilted his head back to let the rain wash it away and wiped it off.

Fang Yuan asked, "Retreat or fight?"

"Let's try it out first." Lin Xiufeng didn't want to retreat just like that. This was a mutated beast that they couldn't find anywhere else. There was no reason for them to leave without fighting.

"The strange fish's corpse was squeezed into a huge ball by the suction!"

Zhao Youyue watched as the strange fish that filled the lake gathered together.

Then, under the influence of the powerful force, it was squeezed and deformed, eventually forming a large lump, which was quite horrifying.

Lin Xiufeng surveyed the cliff face by the lake; most places were difficult to find a foothold in. He then said:
"Don't just stand there, go around the lake and kick holes in the cliff face so you can run around and find footing."

As Lin Xiufeng spoke, he took off his shoes and kicked a small hole in the cliff face.

Zhao Youyue also kicked a small hole from a higher position.

The four of them moved together, along two lines, one high and one low, in opposite directions around the cliff by the water, kicking holes rapidly.

A dark mass in the center of the lake began to wriggle, and the mutated beast could rush out at any moment.

Suddenly, Lin Xiufeng had a flash of inspiration. Grabbing the broken horn of the wolf, he activated the power of his acupoints in his feet, stepped on the black ball of Heavenly Martial Power, and rushed out!

Zhao Youyue was taken aback, not expecting him to step into the pit and suddenly run into the lake. She shouted, "What are you doing!"

Seeing that Lin Xiufeng had already rushed far away on the waves.

As Lin Xiufeng ran, he shouted, "We can't let it change! The enemy is charging up, shouldn't we take this opportunity to attack? I'll try it first."

Zhao Youyue continued kicking the pit with her feet, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Xiufei, who was rushing towards the center of the lake.

Renxing heard this, asked Fangyuan for the broken horns of the wolf, grabbed two, and ran over across the water.

In a short while, Lin Xiufeng rushed to the dark object and realized that it was very large.

Lin Xiufeng leaped up, gathering all his strength in the broken horn of the wolf, and as he fell, all his power was concentrated in the broken horn in his hand!

With the added force of the fall, the wolf's horn completely disappeared into it.

From within the writhing black creature, a sound like the cry of mandarin ducks suddenly rang out!
Lin Xiufeng leaped away and saw Renxing rushing over from the other side, her long hair flowing and swaying wildly. There was no fear in her eyes, and she did not hesitate at all because of the rapid movement of the black thing.

With a reckless leap, he tumbled through the air and landed on the black creature, the wolf horns he was holding in both hands plunging into it!
From within the wriggling black creature came cries like those of mandarin ducks.

Immediately afterwards, taking advantage of the wriggling motion of the black object, he leaped far away and glanced at Lin Xiufeng.

"Let's keep trying to avoid these pitfalls." Lin Xiufei returned to the starting point, and Renxing also turned back.

Zhao Youyue asked, "Where's mine?"

"Keep them, who knows where those three sticks are stuck."

Lin Xiufeng continued kicking at the crater along the cliff face by the water, observing the wriggling object as he went.

If the Heavenly Martial Weapon hadn't been so short, he wouldn't have retreated.

As it fell, I felt the writhing sensation of all the blackfish's compressed flesh and blood, tight and thick.

Even the force of the fall didn't create much of a shockwave; it's likely that an effective strike would need to be aimed at the vulnerable points of the soon-to-be-revealed behemoth.

'The broken horn of the wolf will likely play a crucial role today; hopefully, those three horns were positioned well.'

When Lin Xiufeng and his group had walked around the cliff face by the water for one and a half times, the black creature wriggling in the lake was suddenly enveloped by the gray-black Heavenly Martial Force!
A large, wriggling mass began to move in the water and transformed into a giant creature about ten meters long, with the body of a fish and the tail of a snake.

A snake's tail suddenly emerged from the water, covered with gray-black scales.

The monster's tail suddenly slammed into the water, creating a wave that spread in all directions, reaching a height of three meters when it reached the water's edge!
Lin Xiufeng and his group jumped onto the cliff face to avoid the waves.

"The tiger-dragon in the Classic of Mountains and Seas has the body of a fish and the tail of a snake, resembling a crocodile, with hard scales that are difficult to injure with swords and blades." Zhao Youyue tied up her hair, mentally preparing herself, guessing it would be a tough battle.

"It's charging!" Renxing stepped back a little, stepping on the pits in the rock wall.

The giant creature in the water suddenly crawled out of the water and climbed up the steep rock wall!
It resembles a giant crocodile with a long snake tail, and its pair of yellow eyes, as big as soup bowls, are filled with murderous intent.

The tiger-dragon emerged from the water, crawling along the rock face towards the reckless creature!
"What an idiot! The commander stabbed you first, yet you still remember to come after me!"

He stubbornly walked away, muttering complaints to himself.

Lin Xiufeng followed the tiger-dragon from the side, observing its movements and the swaying of its long tail, while calling out to himself:

"This means Tiger Flood Dragon likes beautiful women; you're the one who's going to attract hatred."

"Hurry up and hit it!"

He turned his head to look at the tiger-dragon's crocodile-like maw, but dared not imagine the consequences of being bitten.

As she spoke, Zhao Youyue leaped onto the tiger-dragon's back. Instead of attacking immediately, she adapted to the swaying motion of the tiger-dragon's back as it crawled, silently adjusting to the rhythm.

Fang Yuan suddenly shouted, "Give me the vice commander's wolf horn, I'll find an opportunity to stab it."

Zhao Youyue tossed it over, reminding her:
"The more horns a wolf grows, the more the Heavenly Martial Power it continuously emits doubles. We must seize the opportunity to pierce its eyes; its scales are too thick!"

"Understood!" Fang Yuan had originally planned to attack the eyes when the opportunity arose.

Lin Xiufeng saw three spots on the tiger-dragon's body that were continuously radiating heavenly martial power; these were clearly the wolf horns that had previously pierced into it.

However, in the two places within sight, only scales and armor were visible, not broken horns.

'It just pierced into the flesh, but got blocked by the growing scales? Luckily I acted now; it won't be easy to pierce it now.'

Lin Xiufeng had observed enough, so he jumped onto Hu Jiao's legs and then onto his back.

Both times I landed, I could clearly feel the hardness and thickness of the gray-white scales.

Lin Xiufeng didn't know whether the Heavenly Martial Weapon could pierce through the scale armor.

But what he knew was that each scale was twenty centimeters thick.

Yes, it's the same length as the Heavenly Martial Weapon.

This tiger-dragon doesn't seem like the kind of being that four Heavenly Warriors should be challenging.

Zhao Youyue suggested, "Let's concentrate our attack on one spot!"

"Split down first, and then regroup once you're familiar with the attack patterns of the tiger-dragon's tail."

Lin Xiufeng guessed that the tiger-dragon's snake tail would not be idle.

Sure enough, when his Heavenly Martial Black Sword pierced the scales, the tiger-dragon's long tail coiled around.

Lin Xiufei dodged and rolled away, then turned back to continue attacking the same patch of scales.

When the Heavenly Martial Black Sword pierced through, the Heavenly Martial Forces collided violently, leaving a small dent of half a centimeter on the scales.

The second stab resulted in a crater less than half a centimeter deeper.

'Can this even be fought?' Lin Xiufeng felt that even after exhausting all his Heavenly Martial Power, he hadn't done much damage to the Tiger Flood Dragon!

"No way! Calm down. Zhao Youyue and I absorbed so much of the Mist Spirit King's Heavenly Martial Power; there's no way we can't outlast this thing!"

"Moreover, we have the Heavenly Martial Power from the wolf-like beast that severed its horn and absorbed the tiger-dragon's power to replenish us. Once our armor is broken, the damage from the Heavenly Martial Sword's attacks can be made up!"

Lin Xiufeng calmed down and saw that the tiger-dragon's tail had swept towards Zhao Youyue, so he leaped up and used the force of his fall to stab the scales hard.

This attack was much more effective!

The pit on the scales went from less than one centimeter to two centimeters!
