Chapter 730: Soulmate
Ling Feng knew a thing or two about Blood Incineration.
But in his memory, Blood Incineration was never this strong!
That sound like a ten-thousand-revolution engine—was that a heartbeat?
What kind of heart could withstand such abuse?
The giant centipede, having only lost a thin layer of skin, flew into a frenzy, rearing half its body upright!
Countless centipede legs, like steel spears, whistled through the air as they stabbed viciously toward Jiangnan.
But at this moment, Jiangnan's physical functions had been pushed to the absolute limit by Blood Incineration.
His dynamic vision, hearing, and all six senses reached an unprecedented peak—even stronger than during his time in Area 53!
He didn't even dodge. The Blood-Drinking Halberd in his hand traced streaks of scarlet light through the air.
He only cleaved through the centipede legs targeting his vital points, while the halberd's blade gouged vicious bloody gashes in the centipede's underbelly armor.
He let the centipede legs carve red wounds across his arms and thighs!
As he hacked, he roared.
"Come on! Let's hurt each other! You centipede spirit, give me back my grandfather!"
Giant centipede: ???
Who the heck captured your grandfather?
Don't talk nonsense!
Ling Feng and the others watched with their scalps tingling. Could you be any more ruthless with yourself?
Choosing to trade blows with the boss?
Grinding down its health bar?
No matter how many health pools it had, this fighting style was unsustainable!
Jiangnan was also full of helplessness. Maxing out Blood Incineration gave him only three minutes. If he overdid it, he'd crash!
The giant centipede had too many legs; its blocking was maxed out. To deal more damage in the limited time, he had to use this trade-blow-for-blow approach.
In no time, Jiangnan turned into a blood gourd, while the giant centipede had over twenty bloody gashes carved into it!
It screeched in fury toward the sky.
Its mouthparts aimed at Jiangnan: "Ptooey~"
A glob of purple saliva flew straight toward Jiangnan's face.
Jiangnan: !!!
He quickly sidestepped.
The saliva hit the ground, corroding a large hole and emitting a stench of white smoke!
Drops of spit landed on Jiangnan's shoulder, eating several bloody holes into it, making him wince in pain!
It was as potent as strong acid!
"Fine! You want to play dirty? Spitting at me?"
The giant centipede's eyes gleamed. It worked!
So it locked onto Jiangnan and activated Gatling mode!
"Spit, spit, spit~ Spit, spit, spit~"
(｡･ˇ3ˇ･)⁼³₌₃⁼³₌₃⁼³₌₃
Globs of purple saliva shot like bullets, chasing Jiangnan as it spat!
It forced Jiangnan to dodge around the cavern, even sprinting along the walls!
But the giant centipede seemed addicted, relentlessly chasing and spitting.
Furious, Jiangnan leaped to the cavern ceiling, pushed off with his legs, and dove like a ground-penetrating missile straight at the centipede's head!
"Axe Kick!"
"Boom!"
With a thunderous crash, Jiangnan's descending kick slammed into the centipede's head!
The immense impact drove its head hard into the ground, sending rocks and dirt flying, making the entire cavern tremble!
The giant centipede shook its head as it rose. Just as it was about to move, its face filled with horror!
Jiangnan had somehow grabbed its tail. His core strength exploded.
He swung the fifty-meter-long centipede like a whip and smashed it repeatedly against the ground!
"South God's Pulled Noodles!"
The cavern walls shook, debris falling. Everyone present was stunned.
What kind of berserk fighting style was this?
That was a centipede boss! Not noodles!
Why are your move names so weird? Are you the naming genius?
"I can never look at pulled noodles the same way again! South God with Blood Incineration isn't human!"
"Even movies wouldn't dare film this! So savage, swinging the boss around and smashing it?"
"A boss designed for a hundred-person raid! Is South God planning to solo it?"
Given the situation, no one could intervene!
After a full minute of noodle-flinging, Jiangnan was exhausted. He hurled the giant centipede against the wall with all his might!
He leaned on his knees, breathing heavily.
The giant centipede climbed up again!
(๐⊗ཀ⊗) "Ugh~"
It vomited a huge pool of purple saliva—Jiangnan had literally shaken it sick.
But it shook its head and charged at Jiangnan again!
Jiangnan's head throbbed. This thing had way too much health! High-level Spirit-Binding Beasts were incredibly tough!
His time was already half gone!
Luo Beierte quickly charged in with her sword, engaging the giant centipede to buy Jiangnan some breathing room!
Ling Feng and the others were frantic. Even South God couldn't handle the centipede?
If he kept burning his life force, even South God wouldn't hold out!
Wang Ba, scratching his chest and heart in anxiety, suddenly had his eyes light up. He rummaged through his backpack!
(｡˘•ꇴ•˘)つ-`☻´-
"Hey hey! You've got these on you, right?"
Ling Feng and Gong Lin's eyes gleamed with excitement. They quickly pulled them out of their pockets!
"But will these work on Spirit-Binding Beasts?"
Tao Xinyi urged, "Does it matter? Throw them and find out!"
"If we can just control the centipede's legs, we've already won half the battle!"
The four nodded, pulled the pins without hesitation, and tossed the grenades at the giant centipede.
These four Dance Grenades were exactly what they'd gotten from Jiangnan!
Instantly, the four grenades erupted with multicolored electric currents, enveloping the fiercely fighting giant centipede and Luo Beierte!
Both bodies stiffened!
Luo Beierte's expression turned terrified. She jammed her steel sword into the ground, gripping the hilt with both hands!
She began swaying her hips and twisting her waist left and right, moving with perfect rhythm!
Her skirt swayed lightly with her movements, and her two braids swung back and forth!
Wang Ba's eyes bulged: "A maid is really the best!"
Luo Beierte's face was about to explode red. Why was she uncontrollably dancing?
Her eyes glared at Wang Ba with blazing hatred!
Just you wait!
But the giant centipede was also hit. Its blood-red eyes were full of fear!
Its fifty-meter-long body nearly stood completely upright, and its countless legs began circling in front of its chest.
Its elongated body twisted into an "S" shape, undulating left and right in an incredibly mesmerizing wave!
Its sharp mouthparts ground in frustration, but not a single word came out!
Everyone was dumbfounded. What kind of dance was this centipede doing? It was too demonic!
Qin Shou pondered for a moment, then tentatively began singing along to the centipede's rhythm.
"This… this is the excuse for your breakup~"
"If you could do it all over again, would you still love me?"
"Love brings happiness but also brings pain?"
The giant centipede's eyes lit up, full of emotion. All its legs pointed at Qin Shou!
Soulmate! You really understand me!
Jiangnan: Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ
Shadow Stream Master?
This centipede could even dance to Shadow Stream Master? Who taught it that?
The rhythm of its twisting was absolutely spot-on!
As expected of Qin Shou, the Milk Cow Little Prince—he always knows what beasts need most!
But Jiangnan's eyes sparkled. He hadn't expected the Dance Grenades to be so effective even within the Spirit-Binding Field.
Controlling the centipede's legs made hacking it as easy as playing!
He hurried to the group of yellow-clad guests, opened his backpack,
and exchanged 200 Dance Grenades from the System, pretending to pull them from his bag as he handed them out.
"Keep controlling it! Control it to death!"
Then he raised his halberd and charged at the centipede's exposed underbelly, slashing open bloody gashes!
The giant centipede let out painful screeches, nearly crying, but it couldn't control itself—it just wanted to dance!
Before Wang Ba could celebrate,
Ling Feng had already started uncontrollably doing the Bang Jia Gu!
Wang Ba's eyes were full of panic. He burst out of his clothes again, sliding his hands over his body, starting with Little Cutie, then Big Pervert.
[From Wang Ba: Grudge Points +1000!]
[From Ling Feng…]
They weren't enveloped by the multicolored electric light! Why were they still compelled to dance?
Did throwing the grenades make you dance too?
South God, you scammer! Why didn't you say so earlier!
Tao Xinyi looked disgusted, but just as she was about to speak, her body froze!
She put her legs together, puffed out her cheeks, poked her face with her fingers, and started spinning in circles, hopping up and down.
ヾ(〃˃᷄～˂᷅)ﾉ: "Nico Nico Ni~"
(୧୨˃᷄﹏˂᷅): "Nico Ni~"
In an instant, everyone present melted at the sight of Tao Xinyi!
She was just too adorable!
Tao Xinyi was going crazy. Why did she have to do this in front of her students?
So embarrassing!
[From Tao Xinyi: Grudge Points +555!]
Ling Feng and Wang Ba were deeply moved. It was worth throwing those grenades to see Taozi goddess like this!
Their gazes then turned to Gong Lin, full of anticipation.
What would Little Lin dance? It would definitely be cute, right?
Gong Lin gritted her teeth. She was about to lose it, sweat pouring from her forehead, but she couldn't suppress the urge to dance!
She strode over to Wang Ba, leaned forward slightly, placed her hands on her knees, tilted her head, and her pretty face broke into a brilliant smile.
(๐⁼̴̤̆ᴗ⁼̴̤̆): "Are you here to poop?"
Wang Ba: Pfft— Σ(ŎεŎ|||)
What… what kind of dance is that?
Is that even a dance?
After asking Wang Ba, Gong Lin walked over to Ling Feng, tilted her head, and smiled brightly!
(๐꒦ິᴗ꒦ີ): "Are you here to—"
[From Gong Lin: Grudge Points +1000!]
Ling Feng: (ﾉ)ж(ヾ) Pfft— hahaha!
So humiliating!
Little Lin, what kind of messed-up dance videos do you usually watch?
Is it too late to switch teammates?
After asking Ling Feng, Gong Lin went to Tao Xinyi.
(๐´༎ຶᴗ༎ຶ): "Are you here to—"
[From Gong Lin…]
Tao Xinyi: "Nico, pfft— hahaha!"
She collapsed on the ground, holding her stomach and rolling around in laughter. What kind of idiotic awkward dance was that?
That was social death, wasn't it?
[From Gong Lin: Grudge Points +1000!]
