Chapter 449: Chapter 388: The Power of the Demon Blade, Slaying the Half-Step Star Shining Mutant!
After the Demon Blade beheaded Perrick, it started to tremble wildly in Li Zheng’s hand. A simple yet crude thought appeared in Li Zheng’s mind.
"Blood!"
"Blood!"
"Blood!!!"
The Demon Blade was calling, calling out for Perrick’s blood with an unusual fervor, as if it would even cut Li Zheng if he didn’t let go.
"Quiet!"
Bang~!
Li Zheng punched the blade, angrily reprimanding it.
The Demon Blade didn’t care, as if it felt no pain or itch, continuing to demand blood ferociously.
The blade trembled violently, and Li Zheng was unable to hold it with one hand, ready to drop it at any moment.
This time, Li Zheng truly became angry. He gripped the blade with both hands and placed it on the ground, stepping on it, looking down at the Demon Blade: "I told you to be quiet!"
The second warning carried less emotion, and unlike the first time, it was cold and hard.
"Blood!"
"Blood?"
Li Zheng frowned, finding it absurd that a weapon like the Demon Blade would develop its own consciousness.
Turns out the consciousness was brainless, only asking for "blood" and completely ignoring its master’s words.
In that case, just don’t bother me.
Li Zheng took a deep breath: "If you don’t quiet down, I’ll decompose you!"
Buzz~
The Demon Blade instantly quieted, the unceasing thought of demanding blood in his mind seeming like an illusion.
"You don’t cry until you see the coffin. Next time, you’ll see!" Li Zheng removed his foot and picked up the Demon Blade.
At that moment, a strong sense of crisis suddenly emerged in his mind.
Without turning his head, Li Zheng decisively rolled sideways frantically, gripping the Demon Blade tightly.
Boom!
A massive serpent tail slammed down where Li Zheng was just standing. Li Zheng flipped over agilely from the ground, looking towards Perrick.
At this glance, Li Zheng was amazed to discover that from the severed neck where Perrick’s serpent head had been cut off, a human head had grown!
It was a white-skinned human head with Western facial features, where the neck just connected with the humanoid pattern on Perrick’s body.
[I warned you, the weak point is the throat, which is the neck, why didn’t you listen?]
"Damn you!" Already annoyed by the Demon Blade’s previous behavior, Li Zheng snapped back with a curse when Old Pu added insult to injury.
"Didn’t I just behead it? Wasn’t that the throat? The neck? Clearly, it was your information that was wrong, and yet you shamelessly mocked me?"
Boom!
The Demon Thunder Wings unfolded in an instant, and Li Zheng dodged Perrick’s massive tail strike again.
After changing heads, Perrick became noticeably faster, with increasingly flexible attack strategies.
[So smart, do snakes have necks? I told you to cut that human pattern! Fool (beep)!]
Eh?
Old Pu’s retort made Li Zheng pause slightly. Serpentine creatures seemingly... indeed have no concept of a "neck" or "throat."
It seems like I did misunderstand?
If it was wrong, so be it. Now that Perrick has exposed his head himself, isn’t it just a matter of cutting it again?
"Why panic!"
Li Zheng shook the Demon Blade, turned in mid-air, and maneuvered behind Perrick.
"If I can cut it once, I can cut it a second time, a third time, countless times!"
"If necessary, I’ll put in a bit more effort and chop it into a pulp!"
With fierce eyes, Li Zheng did not notice the eerie faint blood glow emanating from the Demon Blade, already spreading to his right elbow.
As the blood glow extended, Li Zheng’s thoughts were subtly influenced, his true intent obscured.
"Ice!"
The Ice Domain appeared once more, enveloping a five-meter radius around Li Zheng, and the temperature plummeted instantly to over eighty degrees below zero!
"Kill!"
The blue light of the Ice Domain intermingled with the Demon Thunder Wings, and with a slight flutter, Li Zheng disappeared from his original position.
Only a thread-thin streak of light remained in the air.
"Missed!" Li Zheng appeared at another location with the Ice Domain, his face turning somewhat grim.
The blade strike just now was actually evaded by Perrick!
Poof!
Two arms suddenly protruded from the opening below Perrick’s head, grabbing the edge of the serpent body, gradually pushing out a human body.
No!
Or rather, the serpent form was shed like a discarded skin!
Bare-headed, wavy lines twisted and expanded in the wind, becoming a head full of snake hair.
The snake hair twisted and tore at each other, devouring one another.
In a very short time, only one snake remained, roughly the thickness of a baby’s forearm, coiled atop Perrick’s head, viciously hissing in the direction of Li Zheng.
[He’s shedding! You’d better kill him before he successfully sheds his skin, or his tier will go up another level.
By the way, do you know how to sing "Cool"?
If not, I suggest you learn it now, or else once he successfully sheds his skin, you won’t have the chance.]
Judging by the difficulty, Perrick should belong to an ordinary extraordinary creature. Li Zheng was also relying on the Star Shining level Demon Blade in his hand to effortlessly cut off its snake head.
Once Perrick successfully advances, then he will have Star Shining level strength.
Unless there are four more teammates with strength similar to Li Zheng, otherwise this battle will not end easily.
"Enough with the nonsense, find his fatal weakness for me!"
Li Zheng swung the Demon Blade and charged up again, aiming at Perrick’s human part, and slashed fiercely.
Poof!
Perrick leaned back, raised his arm to block the blade, which was chopped off by the Demon Blade.
"Such a resilient physique!" Li Zheng was shocked. The body that could be easily cut off just now now had a very obvious sense of blockage when the blade entered the flesh and reached the bone, after just one shedding!
However, cutting off the arm was of no use at all.
Perrick’s severed arm suddenly "popped," and a new arm strangely extended, identical to the previous one.
"No wonder he gave up an arm so decisively, he had such a trump card!"
Li Zheng spun in the air. The blood light emitted from the Demon Blade had already covered his entire right arm.
Just as Li Zheng was about to charge again, he suddenly shivered, his face flushed red.
"This feeling..." Li Zheng’s eyes revealed a look of greed, somewhat manic.
"This is... the taste of blood!"
The corner of his mouth split open into a wicked smile, looking deranged.
"Dare to stop me from drinking blood? Ignorant lowly creature!" Li Zheng muttered to himself, his gaze falling on Perrick, flicking out his crimson tongue to lick his lips.
"What a delicious blood, with some twisted substance, it must be very nourishing."
"Kill!"
"Offer all your blood!"
"Offer it to the noble Bloodthirsty Lord!"
The Bloodthirsty Demon Blade’s blood light shone greatly, even Zhan Zhouzhou outside the poison fog could vaguely see it.
She, still controlling the poison fog, suddenly trembled, frantically retreating, her cold eyes full of vigilance.
"Such a strong bloody smell, such an evil intention!"
In that instant just now, she almost lost control of her mind, wanting to cut her own wrist, drain her blood, and offer it to some unnameable being!
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
With every slash at Perrick, Li Zheng would shout the word "kill," his face’s flush becoming more intense, his expression becoming more exaggerated.
"Ha-ha... hahaha... delicious blood, satisfying, satisfying!"
The frenzied voice echoed all around, Perrick’s face covered with pain.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Blade scraped slice by slice on Perrick’s body, when it could have directly killed him with a single blow, it deliberately avoided vital points, slowly shaving off his flesh.
This was a way to drain every drop of blood that could be extracted.
"Ah~!"
As if unable to endure the torture, Perrick suddenly opened his mouth and let out a sharp scream.
The next moment, those eyes that had been shut tight suddenly opened into a slit, gray-white light shining through the eyelids.
Two droplets of blood flying through the air passed in front of the gray-white light, instantly turning into stones.
This light could petrify!
If he fully opened his eyes, even Li Zheng, controlled by the Demon Blade, would not escape becoming a stone statue.
Poof!
Just as the eyes opened a slit, two cylindrical objects suddenly pierced through the gray-white light, viciously poking into his eye sockets, two gray-white eyeballs being directly gouged out.
"Not bad, very nourishing!" Li Zheng opened his mouth wide, tilted his head, and threw the two pearls in, crunching them, juice splattering.
Yet this confident action broke the Blood Blade’s control over Li Zheng.
"Ptooey!"
"System, disassemble Bloodthirsty Demon Blade!"
A clear voice rang out; the blood light covering Li Zheng’s body retreated back to the blade like a frightened rabbit.
"Damn your mother, making me eat human pearls? Fuck your mother!"
The Demon Blade swung with anger.
Poof!
Perrick’s body separated from his head.
Perrick’s headless body fell to the ground: ???
