Zhao Biao frowned in confusion.
Qiu Xia also knitted his brows.
"I haven't seen it either. This Sword Guard is not simple!"
"I estimate this bone monster's combat power is at least 400. It's already very good that this child can last this long!"
He stood up. "Prepare to intervene!"
Just as the two were about to step in to help, a roar like that of a primeval beast resounded. Tie Tou Wa completely unleashed its nature. It was an emotionless combat machine, born for battle. No matter how much stronger its opponent was, it was an army that charged forward, ready to die!
Tie Tou Wa leaped high, its broken sword, imbued with unparalleled dominance, crashing down upon the bone monster.
The bone monster let out a low hum. Spikes protruded from its spherical body, adding some offensive capability to its otherwise impenetrable defense!
But Tie Tou Wa paid no mind to that!
*Swish—*
A sound of air being broken echoed.
Tie Tou Wa slashed down. That sword immediately produced a phantom of sword energy, a forty-meter-long broken sword!
This move was learned from the Twin-Bladed Mantis. When the Twin-Bladed Mantis fought the Iron Turtle King that day, it had used this very move! The exceptionally talented Tie Tou Wa merged this technique with the [Nine Solitary Swords] and evolved a brand-new move.
While perfectly parrying the enemy's attacks, it could also increase its own attack range and distance.
Vast, formless sword energy surged towards the bone monster.
The bone monster, unable to discern the attack pattern, was momentarily stunned. Before it could react, the rolling sword energy had already cleaved into its body.
*Bang!!!*
This strike caught the bone monster off guard, leaving it dazed and disoriented. Some of its brittle bones were shattered, falling to the ground as debris.
"Roar~~~"
The bone monster also felt pain, letting out a low moan. Instead of blindly charging, it retreated.
Its body emitted the sound of bones grinding again. In the next moment, the bones shattered by Tie Tou Wa rapidly regenerated at a visible speed. In just a moment, it had completely recovered.
"Damn it!"
Lu Fei's heart sank into despair. How could this be fought?
Before Lu Fei or Tie Tou Wa could react, the bone monster spun wildly in place, its finger bones extruding outward like spears. Tree trunks were pierced, splattering wood fragments.
It charged towards Tie Tou Wa like a bulldozer, uprooting trees and smashing them down.
It seemed as though this bone monster's attributes were naturally designed to counter Tie Tou Wa. Its primary attack method relied on its retractable, sharp finger bones that acted like long spears for piercing. However, its defensive capabilities were incredibly troublesome. Physical attacks were basically ineffective against it. Elemental attacks could deal some damage, but its near-abnormal regenerative ability was truly despair-inducing!
"Tie Tou Wa, this opponent is a bit tricky, but if we win, we'll gain a lot of experience!" Lu Fei encouraged. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Wei!"
Tie Tou Wa roared, its fighting spirit soaring!
Following that, Tie Tou Wa charged forward, slashing at the bone monster with its sword like a madman. Each attack shattered some bones, but the opponent's astonishing recovery ability made it seemingly impossible to defeat.
Lu Fei allowed Tie Tou Wa to unleash wave after wave of attacks. Through the previous few exchanges, Lu Fei discovered that while this monster's defense was incredible, its attack methods were singular. Tie Tou Wa's lightning-attribute speed allowed it to completely evade these attacks.
Even if it couldn't defeat the opponent, it could wear it down. Its recovery ability was amazing, but Lu Fei still had the Stubborn Snake that hadn't been called out to work yet!
Thus, Tie Tou Wa continued its mad slashing for over ten minutes.
Zhao Biao and Qiu Xia, who were secretly observing from the side, had their eyes wide open.
"Lao Qiu, is this the combat power a contracted beast in its twenties can possess?"
Qiu Xia gulped, his expression astonished.
He didn't respond to Zhao Biao, instead shaking his head to himself, occasionally letting out sounds of amazed exclamation.
After countless rounds of fighting, the two contracted beasts halted. The bone monster's body creaked, bone after bone breaking. Its recovery speed gradually slowed, and many fractured areas remained hollow. It had lost its temper.
This was the first time it had encountered an unreasonable opponent like Tie Tou Wa.
But it quickly regained its composure and attacked again. The remaining finger bones pierced towards Tie Tou Wa's body. This time, it didn't aim for Tie Tou Wa's head, but instead tested other, more easily hittable areas to reduce Tie Tou Wa's combat power.
Instantly, countless finger bones flew out. After using this skill, the bone monster's finger bones were almost completely depleted, and its body size shrunk several times over.
Although Tie Tou Wa tried its best to dodge, one of the finger bones still struck its arm. Even with the enhancement of [Hardening], it was still pierced, showcasing the astonishing penetration power of the bone monster's attack!
The bone monster, having landed a successful hit, showed no intention of stopping. It seemed to have found a way to defeat its opponent. The sky was filled with swirling finger bones, like streaks of sword energy, their attacks dense and impossible to dodge.
In just a moment, Tie Tou Wa's entire body was covered in bloody gashes.
Lu Fei never expected this bone monster to possess such an attack method!
"Tie Tou Wa! Use [Silver Arc Slash] consecutively! Dodge behind this monster!"
Tie Tou Wa, enduring the damage from the finger bones, gritted its teeth and consecutively used [Silver Arc Slash]. Its sharp sword energy knocked away the nearby finger bones. With a burst of effort, it rushed behind the bone monster.
The bone monster, having lost sight of its enemy, let out a roar of unwillingness. Its neck twisted stiffly. Its already sinister and terrifying appearance became even more eerie.
At this moment, Lu Fei noticed something black in the bone monster's chest. That black object twitched. It was alive!
"What is that?"
Lu Fei's face was filled with horror.
Earlier, the bone monster's entire body was covered in dense finger bones, making it impossible to see this object. Now that the finger bones had flown out, this black shadow was finally revealed.
"Could it be!"
Lu Fei immediately said, "Tie Tou Wa! Attack the heart of this monster!"
"Wei!"
Tie Tou Wa once again channeled the [Nine Solitary Swords], narrowly dodging the incoming finger bones. Its broken sword plunged directly towards the bone monster's heart!
Just as it was about to succeed!
Tie Tou Wa's expression lit up with joy. However, at this moment, countless finger bones flew back, shielding the bone monster's heart!
"So that's how it is!" Qiu Xia, who was observing from the side, shouted.
Zhao Biao asked in confusion, "What is it, Lao Qiu!"
"This is just a controlled contracted beast skeleton!"
His expression was filled with horror. "If I'm not mistaken, the one controlling this skeleton should be a contracted beast called a [Parasitic Beast]!"
