Devour

Chapter 276 Centipede

Li Tong floated high into the sky, looked down at the battlefield and asked, "Do you need help?"

Cheng Bai did not answer. He did not intend to rely on magic weapons to win the battle. Over-reliance was not a good thing.

If you really encounter a fatal crisis, the defense of the Shengjin Tower is much better than that of the inheritance cube.

Cheng Bai thought to himself, "This guy is quite big, but he can hide so well and come and go without a trace. His cultivation must be much higher than mine. If I want to win, I must create a good opportunity to kill him with one strike."

"You have a strange helper, why don't you use it? Are you afraid that I will find your location?" The unknown creature made a vague sound again, as if inciting Cheng Bai to expose his position. "If I catch you once, you will die."

Cheng Bai suddenly attacked. This time his perception was more accurate, and he cut through dozens of sword energies in a row.

The invisible creature became excited, shaking its head and tail to avoid the attack, and attacked the direction of the attack at a faster speed. With a crisp sound, a suddenly appeared soldier-level yellow turban warrior was instantly pierced by the sharp weapon.

The terrifyingly sharp weapon was shaped like a pair of crossed hooks, clearly a pair of giant fangs, which penetrated the golden crystal carbon body without difficulty, injecting a deadly poison that crippled the flesh, and then tore the Yellow Turban Warrior into two with several consecutive rips.

In the brief moment when the attack hits, the perceived entity becomes extremely clear, and the invisible creature that thought it had gotten what it wanted reveals its exact location.

Cheng Bai immediately seized the excellent opportunity and continuously used multiple sword attacks to open the gate of life and death. He slashed down on his opponent like a violent storm, making a sound of metal and jade clashing as rapid as sparks.

With the touch of the blade and the sound waves playing, Cheng Bai's Phoenix force accurately outlines the full picture of the invisible creature.

He looked like a burly giant, half man, half insect, with two long tentacles swaying on his face, barbed fangs as big as sickles, and suddenly thousands of huge copper bell eyes opened all over his body.

Cheng Bai succeeded in his attack and immediately teleported far away. His increasing combat experience allowed him to determine that his opponent's body was covered with incredibly tough shells, so he chopped him down with a series of killer moves, injuring him both inside and outside, but he still couldn't kill him.

The force of the knife entered his body like a flood and exploded. The giant let out an unbearable and horrifying howl, all his eyes widened in anger, and suddenly thousands of golden lights were dazzling around him, forming a light curtain like a dragnet that covered a large area.

The ground illuminated by the golden light was corroded and blackened, as if it had been splashed with a large amount of magic acid. If Cheng Bai stayed nearby, he would surely not be able to escape the murderous intent.

Li Tong saw it clearly and commented: "Golden Evil Eye, it corrupts objects while attacking, luckily he dodged quickly. His human form failed, and he is about to reveal his true form, a centipede with a thousand eyes."

The golden light dissipated, and the giant was seriously injured. He was so angry that he almost went berserk. His whole body stretched out quickly and turned into a giant centipede. He was 165 meters long, with multiple limbs covered in dark red armor, shining with a cold metallic luster. What was strange was that his whole body was covered with thousands of eyes, and nearly a hundred legs were winding and swimming as fast as flying.

The Thousand-Eyed Centipede no longer bothered to hide its whereabouts. It turned its head with a fierce look on its face, and its two long tentacles trembled and shook as it shouted angrily, "You are so cunning, you dare to use a fake person to deceive me."

Cheng Bai said sarcastically, "You are the only one allowed to be sneaky and deceitful, but I am not allowed to take advantage of the situation?" But in his heart he was extremely cautious.

As expected, the Thousand-Eyed Centipede had no moral principles and took advantage of Cheng Bai's speech to sweep over with hundreds of golden lights without any warning.

Cheng Bai teleported to his side first, swung his sword with a cold light, like a dragon or snake circling and cutting through the darkness, and slashed fiercely like a storm.

"You little bastard, I'm waiting for you to take the bait!"

The Thousand-Eyed Centipede roared in ecstasy, having already saved enough strength. Its eyes flashed with golden light, and hundreds of golden lights penetrated the figure's entire body.

But that was just Cheng Bai's afterimage, intended to lure the enemy. His real body had already teleported to the other side, swinging his sword to kill.

But the Thousand-Eyed Centipede had too many eyes, and the evil eye on the other side also shot out hundreds of golden rays of light towards the new figure.

In the blink of an eye, many human shadows appeared one after another around, chopping at the centipede's body.

After Cheng Bai advanced to the Wuxiang realm, his attainments in the Eight Immortals Tour were greatly improved, and his cultivation of the ever-changing existence and non-existence allowed him to fully display this set of martial arts. He did not stop at all, and continuously transformed into sixty-four residual images, causing the Thousand-Eyed Centipede to shoot golden light in all directions.

The attack caused by the Golden Light Evil Eye Secret Art was not a kinetic impact. It spread silently in the underground maze without causing any earth-shattering noise, but its destructive power was extremely high. Wherever it shone, it turned into a dead place, as if all life had been drained and corroded to the point of no vitality.

Cheng Bai was relieved: "He doesn't have the ability to predict with his spiritual eyes or enhance his spiritual awareness with the Phoenix Force. The Golden Light Evil Eye's ability to see through illusions is about the same as that of the Evil Eye Beast King in Joyful Valley. The only difference is that the golden light's attack power is terrifying, which is many times stronger."

The prediction of the spiritual eye, the Eight Immortals' Journey and the ultra-high-speed movement of teleportation can temporarily avoid the attack of the Golden Evil Eye, but it is also impossible to get close to the Thousand-Eyed Centipede and cause effective damage, making it difficult for most martial arts to be used.

Cheng Bai quickly retreated away, waving his five-stringed instrument and snapping his fingers to fire hundreds of sniper bullets. The bullets bounced and refracted in the air to form attacks from all directions, sweeping towards the multiple eyeballs around the Thousand-Eyed Centipede like raindrops.

Even if blinding the Golden Evil Eye is not fatal, it will definitely ensure victory!

In the past, once a sniper attack was launched, any opponent would be caught off guard and speechless, which could be described as an attacking tactic that defied the will of heaven.

Now, at the moment when the outcome was about to be decided, the eyes of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede also flashed hundreds of golden lights, intercepting all the sniper bullets in the air. There was a crackling sound like popping beans in the sky, and all the vibration wave bullets were accurately defeated, without any escape.

Sniping is completely ineffective!

Cheng Bai was stunned: "I am a micro-tracking missile group, and he is a laser interceptor anti-missile. I was restrained."

The battle was lost and we had to consider new strategies.

"The Golden Light Evil Eye can truly attack at the speed of light, and its short-range interception and attack are flawless. However, none of my martial arts and secret techniques can match its attack speed. Relying on the Spirit Eye to predict and teleport in advance can only make me jump up and down like a rat crossing the street. It looks gorgeous on the surface, but it is actually at a disadvantage. Unless the sword moves between flickering and illusory can be further improved... No, I have a better way."

Cheng Bai made up his mind and unfolded the domain. The head of the gluttonous beast was as big as a building and stood in the air. When the beast opened its mouth, all the spiritual energy in the world became food. The golden light in the sky actually turned a corner and was sucked away and swallowed by the strange phenomenon of the beast head.

Not even the speed of light can escape the power of the Beast Head Realm!

"Extremely wonderful energy, thank you very much, look at the knife." Cheng Bai broke the golden light with a supernatural vision, and turned into dozens of afterimages that wandered around the Thousand-Eyed Centipede. The Killing Knife danced wildly and slashed, the blade was as sharp as chopping melons and vegetables, and one knife after another greeted the Evil Eye.

The Thousand-Eyed Centipede was caught off guard and its defense was broken on the spot! Within a few breaths, hundreds of eyeballs were pierced by the sharp blade.

"Wow..." The Thousand-Eyed Centipede screamed in agony. But he was still able to maintain a trace of rationality in his near-madness. He resisted the knife light and used the method of dissipating while turning invisible, like an invisible gust of cold wind, and quickly fled into the cave in the tree roots of the maze valley.

Cheng Bai had not expected that this monster had such strong vitality. He was surprised and said, "His invisibility method is incredibly fast. It is a good trick for escaping and sneak attacking."

Li Tong floated down from the sky and said, "That's not ordinary invisibility, it's a stealth technique. Combined with the effect of convergence, it's more powerful than your assassination."

Cheng Bai said confidently: "With the Taotie vision to restrain the Golden Light Evil Eye spell, it will not be difficult to defeat him."

Li Tong warned, "Don't be careless. The Thousand-Eyed Centipede is much more powerful than you, and you underestimated it and got injured by the Killing Sword. Don't let him hide in the cave to recover from his injuries, because it won't be so easy to deal with him when he comes out."

Cheng Bai immediately realized: "This guy has dominated the Demon Abyss Labyrinth for many years, and he must have stored a lot of Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum, and now he is eating happily."

He thought about it, took out the branches of Kangmu obtained outside the Iron City, broke off half of it, condensed a flame and ignited it.

The branches are flammable and soon produce thick smoke. At first glance, it is not much different from ordinary wood smoke, but it is slightly pungent, which is nothing to humans and can even be called a fragrance.

Cheng Bai sniffed, approached the entrance of the cave at the roots of the tree in Mi Valley, and used his palm to blow the thick smoke into the cave.

Li Tong couldn't help but say, "Both intestinal worms and centipedes hate Kangmu's smoke. How insidious. Where did you learn this?"

Cheng Bai smiled and said, "The girl from the Lu family taught me."
