The Journey of Immortal Cultivation
Chapter 1196 - 623: Convinced? (Part 3)
Sure enough, just as its giant mouth began to close, a shadow appeared next to its eyes, which were two to three times larger than a millstone. Changtian seemed to have been standing here for a long time, and only when it leaped to this height did he leisurely deliver a punch to the monster’s eyelid. His judgment was incredibly accurate. This was the giant demon’s blind spot. In the dim light, it only felt something strike it, and instinctively shut its eyes. Suddenly, a heart-wrenching pain erupted in its eye socket!
This pain was as sharp as being pierced by ten thousand needles, and as if someone wielding a large club had directly smashed its brain, causing it to spin and whirl until waves of dizziness set in, almost bringing its thoughts to a halt. Its giant body became uncontrollable and crashed back into the water. Standing on the shore, Ning Xiaoxian only saw the waves stirred up by the giant creature spreading in all directions, rolling faster and faster, creating two-meter-high walls of water on each bank, advancing smoothly!
After a few thundering crashes, the water walls smashed against the shore and disintegrated into nothingness. Fortunately, she leaped high into the air at the right moment, or else she would inevitably have been drenched.
This creature had lived for many years and was enormous in size, impervious to blades or spears, and ordinary magic artifacts could not harm it. Even its eyelids were thicker than three feet. Yet Changtian’s seemingly light punch managed to injure it inside, leaving it dizzy and weak with muscle and bone.
She wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but she felt that after delivering that punch, Changtian’s expression relaxed a bit, as if he’d vented some anger through the strike.
Hmm, isn’t that standard displacement of anger? She silently sympathized with this giant beast in her heart.
At this moment, Changtian’s voice leisurely echoed in its ears: "Foolish creature, are you convinced?"
He actually had the notion of subduing this demon. Ning Xiaoxian raised her dark eyebrows, appearing thoughtful.
The River Monster surfaced again, letting out a long howl that sounded like a horse’s neigh, only dozens of times louder. The water around it immediately boiled like scalding water. She then realized that the river water had turned a faint red and was mixed with a lot of foam. Apparently, Changtian’s punch had injured its innards, causing it to cough up quite a bit of blood.
These river waters, mixed with the demon’s blood, quickly formed water beasts, most of which were shaped like lemurs, slender in build, with a curly tail trailing behind. As soon as they took shape, they pounced toward Changtian, their movements nimble and swift, sharply contrasting their heavy-set master. The dark red blood congealed within them, resembling marionette strings, and the tips of each water beast’s claws glowed with a faint green light, clearly indicating the presence of Xuanyin Water Poison. Should one get scratched, it would be excruciatingly painful.
The River Monster was probably startled by Changtian’s speed, and so it condensed these agile water beasts, intending to counter speed with speed. Seeing that it still had such means, Changtian’s eyes lit up with satisfaction. He calmly walked towards the River Monster; a multitude of water beasts pounced on him along the way, yet his steps did not falter as he casually drew the Nanming Lihuo Sword—
The moment this extremely blazing sword appeared, the River Monster’s eyes displayed a look of fear. As expected, as Changtian strolled forward wielding the Nanming Lihuo Sword, the sword tip gently probing forward, regardless of the position the water beasts attacked from, he’d invariably strike the opponent’s right eye, piercing straight through. Then, there was a soft sizzling sound, and the water beast was dissolved into a plume of pale green vapor by the Divine Sword’s high temperature, dissipating into the air.
Ning Xiaoxian had seen Changtian unleashing his full power with the sword in the God Demon Prison before, so she knew that he was actually very relaxed and casual right now. As the last water beast vanished into invisibility, he also disappeared.
The next instant, his figure appeared gradually on the giant beast’s head, with the sword tip lightly touching the thick skin underfoot, emitting sizzling scorch sounds. Although the giant beast was massive, with this step from him, it was forcefully pressed underwater.
Standing atop the giant demon, Changtian said lightly, "I’ll only ask one last time, are you convinced? In the third round, I won’t hold back!" His words were filled with killing intent.
The bright moon hung in the sky, the river water lapped gently, and he stood alone on the neck and back of this Ancient Giant Beast, the terrifying and ferocious monster beneath his feet only added to his slender, jade-like, and transcendent majestic presence. Ning Xiaoxian bit her lip as she gazed at him, feeling both captivated and unable to suppress the question: When would she ever have such a day of grandeur?
Changtian originally was not a good-tempered person, and enduring with this Water God for so long was merely because he had another agenda in mind; otherwise, he would have long killed it. If the River Monster didn’t know its place, he would just consider it wasted effort on his part.
