Chapter 118: One hundred and eighteen uses points to break through the surface.
Generally speaking, the combat power of a Vein Demon of the same grade is much stronger than that of human Cultivators, especially in certain special areas, where Vein Demons with matching attributes can display combat power above their own Demon Meridian Qi Cultivation.
For example, the Crab Vein Demon at this moment completely disregarded a human youngster who was only at the Meridian Gathering Realm Early Stage. In its view, at least within this hot spring, this human youngster couldn’t last even a moment.
But just then, the strike that the Crab Vein Demon thought could sever the human youngster fell through, and it finally realized that it had underestimated this human at the Meridian Gathering Realm Early Stage.
Yun Xiao’s change in moves was extremely fast. After dodging that strike, a Meridian Qi attack followed swiftly, which, if it hit the Crab Vein Demon’s eyes, might have had a remarkable effect.
Crustacean Vein Demons have a hard shell all over their bodies, so their defensive power is unparalleled in the Continent; only their eyes are the most vulnerable. Yun Xiao, with his rich combat experience, spotted this critical weakness at a glance.
Unfortunately, for such a vulnerability, how could the Crab Vein Demon not guard it? Although Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi attack was launched very quickly, in the water, its speed was inevitably greatly reduced, giving the Crab Vein Demon a chance to react.
Puff! Puff!
Two slightly strange sounds came from the water, sounding somewhat muffled. It turned out that the Crab Vein Demon sensed the danger and just in the nick of time, covered its eyes with its two large claws, making Yun Xiao’s two Meridian Qi attacks ineffective against such defense.
"No good, I can’t linger here any longer!"
After the missed attack, Yun Xiao felt an unbearable heat all over his body. The water in this hot spring is extremely hot, and at the bottom of the spring, Yun Xiao is constantly using Meridian Qi to counteract the heat of the water. Now, also battling the Crab Vein Demon, the consumption of Meridian Qi is incredibly rapid.
