Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 515 The Great Flame Whale

Lei Chi controlled his Azure Flame avatar to enter the twenty-fourth floor of the Trial Tower. In his field of vision, in a world like a sea of ​​fire, floated a tall stone tablet with three golden characters on it: "Great Flame Heaven"!

"Enter the twenty-fourth floor of the Trial Tower and defeat the Great Flame Whale."

A voice rang out in mid-air, announcing the guardian monster of this level.

The Azure Flame incarnate walked forward indifferently, with thirty-six Sky Swords rapidly moving around him.

Because of his cultivation of the Guiyuan Qigong, Lei Chi not only recovered his physical strength quickly, but also his mental strength. He could adapt to high-intensity, prolonged battles. Even though he had just fought against the Burning Fire Giant Kun, his mental strength had already recovered to the Jade Perfection stage and was at its peak.

Before long, a colossal creature, as large as the Fiery Giant Kun, leaped out of the sea of ​​fire—it was the Great Flame Whale.

This whale has crimson flames burning on its back and black belly. It has an extremely large head, a very wide mouth, and a huge tail fin. Unlike the Fiery Giant Kun, which has serrated teeth, its teeth are fine, long, and thin, like steel nails. Its two eyes bulge outwards, like the eyes of a toad, with black diamond-shaped pupils.

"This behemoth doesn't look easy to deal with either; its strength is probably no less than that of the Fiery Giant Kun..."

Lei Chi sensed the Great Flame Whale's immense power, yet he remained undaunted, controlling his Azure Flame Avatar to proactively engage in battle.

The Great Flame Whale was enormous; the Azure Flame Avatar was no match for it. Yet, it immediately noticed the tiny Azure Flame Avatar and opened its terrifying maw to swallow it whole.

The enormous maw opened wide, giving one the feeling of swallowing the heavens and the earth. With its size, it could swallow not only a person, but also a mountain whole.

"I wish my Iron Kun had a head like that!"

Lei Chi sighed, but remained fearless. He controlled his Azure Flame avatar, pounded his chest, and roared towards the Great Flame Whale's gaping maw: "Retreat!"

The roar shattered the flames and was louder than thunder. The great fire whale was immediately struck as if by an invisible cannonball. Its body suddenly bent like a shrimp, and its mouth closed. Soon it let out another painful roar.

This was Lei Chi unleashing [Shocking God Strike], delivering a soul-piercing blow to the Great Flame Whale.

Facing such a behemoth, trying to outmaneuver it with physical strength and power would be suicide, but mental attacks are quite effective.

Taking advantage of the moment, the Azure Flame avatar patted its chest again and shouted at the Great Flame Whale, "Retreat!"

With a loud boom, a muffled sound came from inside the Great Flame Whale, as if something had exploded. The flames on its back immediately dimmed, and its massive body actually retreated nearly a thousand meters.

Lei Chi pressed his advantage, pursuing the enemy with thirty-six Sky Swords, continuing to shout, "Retreat! Retreat! Retreat! Retreat..."

He unleashed the [Shocking God Strike] sixteen times in a row, driving the Great Flame Whale back ten thousand meters and causing its pupils to dilate, revealing its listlessness.

The Azure Flame Avatar could no longer unleash the [Shocking God Strike] because its physical body's mental energy was severely depleted and insufficient to unleash the same power of the [Mental Strike] again.

In fact, it was only because Lei Chi had cultivated the Guiyuan Qi Gong that he was able to unleash the [Mental Break] sixteen times in a row with such formidable power, treating the ultimate move as a normal attack. If it were an ordinary mentalist with a similar level of mental strength, it would be absolutely impossible for them to unleash the [Mental Break] twice in a row without external help.

The Great Flame Whale, having endured this mental attack, was also listless. The flames on its back went out, and its body rolled over, exposing its abdomen. It was clear that it was no longer in a conscious state.

"Strike while the iron is hot!"

Knowing the opportunity was precious, Lei Chi controlled his Azure Flame Avatar to advance. A thousand meters away, he pointed with his right hand with two fingers, and 36 Sky Swords shot out in a continuous chain, like a sword dragon. Amidst the clanging of the swords, they pierced into the belly of the Great Flame Whale as it rolled upwards.

A kilometer is currently the most comfortable attack range for Lei Chi, maximizing the power of the Long Sky Sword while ensuring its accuracy and agility.

The skin of the Great Flame Whale was extremely tough; even the sharpest Long Sky Sword could not easily pierce it. Of the 36 Long Sky Swords in the One-Line Long Snake Formation that pierced its skin, 24 were deflected, while the remaining 12 managed to penetrate its skin and enter its body.

With a wave of his hand, the 24 longswords that had been flung away immediately responded, returning to Lei Chi's control. The sword tips adjusted their direction and flew swiftly toward the location of the avatar.

Meanwhile, the twelve Sky Swords that had pierced the Great Flame Whale's body were also moving and roaming freely within the whale's body under Lei Chi's control.

The flesh and blood of the Great Flame Whale are not as tough as its skin. Compared to the Great Flame Whale, which is ten thousand meters long, the Long Sky Sword is insignificant. However, they move quickly and the damage they cause inside the Great Flame Whale should not be underestimated.

"Let's go again!"

With another wave of his hand, the 24 Sky Swords that he had regained control of came back to life and shot out in a single file, like meteors, at an even faster speed than before. They pierced through the sword holes that the twelve Sky Swords had stabbed into the belly of the Great Flame Whale and began to wreak havoc.

The Azure Flame Avatar did not continue to approach, but stood still in mid-air, acting as a transit point, and Lei Chi's spiritual power acted on the 36 Sky Swords through him.

Unfortunately, this unrestrained attack did not last long. The Great Flame Whale awoke, letting out a thunderous roar as it flipped over, its flames reigniting on its back.

At that moment, Lei Chi felt the pressure and frantically unleashed his mental power. With a thought, 34 Long Sky Swords flew out from the belly of the Great Flame Whale, while the other two failed to fly out.

Lei Chi sensed that the spiritual imprint he had left on the two Long Sky Swords, along with the sword blades themselves, was rapidly dissolving and disappearing.

"Damn it, those two swords are probably not coming back! They're being digested by this guy!"

Lei Chi suddenly understood and made a decisive move. He stopped paying attention to the two Sky Swords and instead controlled the remaining 34 Sky Swords to attack the Great Flame Whale's eyes.

Although the Great Flame Whale had awakened, its strength had been greatly weakened, and it was powerless to fight back for a time. The Long Sky Sword pierced its eyeball, and it roared in pain again. After giving Lei Chi a vicious look, it stopped fighting and turned its head to flee quickly.

"My Long Sky Sword..."

Upon seeing this, the Azure Flame Avatar frowned. The two Sky Swords that had pierced the Great Flame Whale's body could not be withdrawn, and two more Sky Swords that had pierced the Great Flame Whale's eyeballs were also taken away.

This means that even if Qinghuo successfully passes the test, four Long Sky Swords will be lost!

"What a beast!"

Lei Chi was displeased, but at that moment, the scenery before him changed, and he passed the twenty-fourth level of the Trial Tower and was teleported out.

After a moment's thought, Lei Chi controlled his Azure Flame avatar to enter the twenty-fifth floor of the Trial Tower.

Here, he saw two colossal beasts facing off: the Fiery Giant Kun from the twenty-third floor and the Great Flame Whale from the twenty-fourth floor.
