Chapter 157: Sneak Attack
The happy expression on his face only lasted for a moment, and then suddenly his face changed drastically. Without saying a word, he put away the demon-luring pill and performed the sword-controlling technique to prepare to escape. At the same time, he immediately used two fingers to single-point his forehead to sacrifice the Vermillion Bird Armor to protect his body.
Duan Qing had just left the ground when he saw a wave-chasing beast leap out of the sea and attack him. This was not the end. Five wave-chasing beasts followed one after another, and together with the first wave-chasing beast, a total of six wave-chasing beasts in the early stage of the mortal transformation attacked Duan Qing.
Although he had expected it and avoided the attacks of most wave-chasing beasts, he was still caught up by one of the wave-chasing beasts and bitten on the calf. Seeing that the whole mouth of the wave-chasing beast was burned by the Vermillion Bird Armor, it was unwilling to let go. The sturdy body and the power of the leap dragged Duan Qing down a lot, tempting the other wave-chasing beasts who missed to try again.
"You beast!"
Duan Qing was furious and stopped performing the sword-controlling technique. He took the flying sword into his hand and fiercely inserted it into the head of the wave-chasing beast! It immediately let out a painful hiss, but it stopped before it landed.
As Duan Qing landed and pulled out his flying sword, the dead wave-chasing beast rolled to the side. The other five wave-chasing beasts that had not attacked successfully and were watching on the reef were not scared away, but instead became ferocious and rushed towards him with their teeth bared and roars.
Without time to put away the dead wave-chasing beast, Duan Qing hurriedly used the sword control technique to change direction again, barely dodged the continuous attacks of several wave-chasing beasts, and fled far away.
What is this!
Duan Qing was a little depressed. Either they didn't come, or they came so many at once. Even if he had the Suzaku Armor to protect his body, he didn't dare to face so many wave-chasing beasts at once. Although from the fact that the wave-chasing beasts didn't bite through the Suzaku Armor just now, the wave-chasing beasts probably couldn't break through the Suzaku Armor.
But the Suzaku Armor is not omnipotent. Even with his current Transcendent Realm body, he cannot match these wave-chasing beasts in terms of physical strength and power. If there are only one or two, it's okay. Even in close combat, he dares to fight with the advantage of the flying sword in his hand and the defense of the Suzaku Armor.
But if he is entangled by several wave-chasing beasts, he will probably only be beaten. More seriously, if he is dragged into the sea by the wave-chasing beasts for a long time and cannot escape, he may even lose his life. After all, the Suzaku Armor can't last long without replenishing spiritual power.
After flying along the periphery of Wanjiao Island for half an hour and flying out for about hundreds of miles, Duan Qing found a reef to hide his body and took out the spiritual spring water to replenish his spiritual power. He had escaped from the winged snake before, and then used the Suzaku Armor to escape for another half an hour, which consumed a lot of his spiritual power. The mist around the water vortex in the sea of qi has become more than half thin. It's not too late to replenish the spiritual power first.
Although the speed of replenishing spiritual power by spiritual spring water is not as rough as that of spiritual liquid, it is still very fast and gentle. Duan Qing's spiritual power has been fully replenished in a short time.
He took out the demon-luring pill again, stood on the reef with a sword, and was always alert to his surroundings. He didn't believe that he would be so unlucky this time!
Luck is sometimes really helpless. Duan Qing has been waiting here until dusk, but not a single demon beast in the mortal realm appeared. There were more than a dozen demon beasts in the Qi training stage, and they were all killed by him one by one.
I still don't believe in evil, I don't believe that I can't wait for a lone demon beast in the mortal realm!
Time passed like this for a whole day, until dusk the next day, there was still no demon beast in the mortal realm. The corpses of the demon beasts in the Qi training stage were placed in a circle on the reef where Duan Qing stood. There were some bloodshot in his eyes. He was a little overwhelmed by such a long period of concentration and vigilance.
Could it be that the demon-luring pill sold to him by the fat man was fake? Thinking of Yi Yuan's slightly fat face in Tiansheng Pavilion, he couldn't help but suspect that there was something wrong with the demon-luring pill! But how to explain the six wave-chasing beasts before?
Duan Qing put away the low-grade demon-luring pill in his hand and replaced it with the only medium-grade demon-luring pill in his bag. The demon-luring pill should be real, as can be seen from the corpses of Qi training stage demon beasts scattered under his feet. Maybe he is really unlucky!
As soon as the medium-grade demon-luring pill appeared, the Qi training stage demon beasts that had slowed down their speed suddenly accelerated and appeared again, and they were comparable to when he first arrived here.
He waited for several hours, and there was still no trace of the Transcendental Realm demon beasts on the next morning!
Change place! Duan Qing decided not to wait any longer, put away the demon-luring pill and prepared to try another place.
Just as he was about to leave, he felt something behind him, and a breath of Transcendental Realm demon beasts approached rapidly. Looking back, he found that it was a lone Transcendental Early Stage demon beast, which was quite similar to the flying demon beast group that chased the two two days ago. From what the people said before, it seemed to be called Winged Snake.
The sea demon beasts did not wait for you, but you are here. That's good! I'll use you to test my skills! Duan Qing finally had a way to vent the anger that he had been holding back for a long time.
The winged snake approached quickly, and Duan Qing tightened the flying sword in his hand, injected spiritual power into the flying sword in his hand, and rushed directly to the winged snake with the sword without dodging or avoiding. The flying sword with red light slashed heavily on the scales of the winged snake's head, which was glowing with dim light, and directly split the ugly snake head of the winged snake in two. There was a burning sound at the wound, and no blood flowed out. The winged snake's body had not yet dissipated its strength, and the huge impact force made him step back several steps!
Looking at the miserable state of the winged snake, Duan Qing couldn't help but feel distressed, and at the same time a little regretful. Why did he act so recklessly? I hope he didn't cut the inner elixir, which is 150 spirit stones!
Holding the flying sword, he searched around the head of the winged snake. Seeing the inner elixir that was split in two, Duan Qing was very depressed. What he feared came true!
Just after putting the winged snake's corpse into the storage bracelet, Duan Qing suddenly felt like a thorn in his back. He subconsciously dodged and tried to hide to the side.
But it was too late! A sharp pain came from his left chest and left arm. Two sharp objects shot into his back and then came out from his chest, leaving two bloody flowers and sinking far into the reef.
"Suzaku Armor!"
Without time to look back to see what attacked him, Duan Qing felt that his entire left hand had lost consciousness. He immediately threw away the flying sword in his right hand, pinched his fingers to touch his forehead to cast Suzaku Armor, and at the same time, his body flashed away from the original place.
Just after he dodged, he heard a rumble from behind, and a large piece of broken reef hit him and staggered.
After finally stabilizing his body and looking back, he saw a monster that was at least half the size of the Zhulang Beast, staring at him with a pair of eyes that were a little ridiculous.
At first glance, the monster looked like a scorpion magnified countless times, but it was not entirely like a scorpion. It had eight legs under its belly and a pair of giant pincers that were almost the same size as its body and shone with a faint light. They looked very scary, but the most peculiar thing was its tail that was swinging incredibly flexibly. The tail was covered with spikes, especially the one at the end, which was enough to make people feel cold just by looking at it. Fragments of reefs could be vaguely seen on it, and it was obvious that it was these spikes that had just shattered the reef.
