Chapter 117: Against the Brain
Xu Tao didn’t waste another second.
As soon as he drew his sword, he rushed forward, swinging it like wind slipping through bamboo stalks.
"...!"
But just as he got close—something unbelievable happened.
SWOOSH!
The brain’s curvy, wrinkled folds began to squirm, extending outward like a whip! It lashed out, leaving sonic booms in its wake—forcing Xu Tao onto the defensive.
He quickly raised his sword to block, but the blow still sent him flying, even farther than where he started.
’Even the brain is a tentacle monster?! What the fuck is wrong with this Leviathan?!’ he grumbled inwardly, wiping the blood trickling from the corner of his lips.
Though he’d blocked the attack, the sonic boom—and some mysterious energy riding along with it—inflicted internal damage. Judging by his current injuries, he could only take two or three more hits before he kicked the bucket!
"For an organ, you pack quite the punch..." he chuckled, standing up. "Unfortunately, I just have to destroy you! No need to reserve my Qi anymore!"
As a Golden Core 1st Stage cultivator, his Qi was now over five times what it had been when he first arrived. That meant his instantaneous damage was massively boosted too. It didn’t even take a full second to choose a technique with high output and minimal risk.
Xu Tao returned his fan to his ring and tapped a finger against his forehead.
