Complete Form

Yu Tianqi activated his inner energy, condensing sword energy on the blade, and with a powerful slash, he cut the black centipede in two along a perfect arc.

However, the black centipede, cut in two, did not fall due to the impact of the blade. Instead, it continued to pounce on Yu Tianqi, its two halves slamming directly into Yu Tianqi face before turning into liquid and quickly entering her nostrils.

"Ah—what is this thing? Get out of here!"

Yu Tianqi covered his face with one hand and clutched his neck with the other, struggling in pain.

"Senior sister, what's wrong?"

Bai Jingjing's view was blocked, so she couldn't see what was happening. In her panic, all she could do was instinctively care. Besides asking questions, she didn't think of anything else she should do.

"Quickly, quickly use your divine power..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yu Tianqi stiffened and stopped struggling.

"Senior sister, don't scare me! What happened? Is the centipede dead?"

Bai Jingjing cautiously approached and reached out to touch the back of Yu Tianqi, who was standing frozen in place, but the other party did not react.

A bad thought flashed through Bai Jingjing's mind, and she was so frightened that she covered her mouth with her hand, tears welling up in her eyes, and she looked like she was about to cry out loud.

The next moment, Yu Tianqi's head suddenly made a 180-degree turn, her entire face turned snow-white, as if she were wearing a mask, her eyes became black holes, she opened her mouth and her head grew larger, and she bit Bai Jingjing's upper body in one bite.

"Waaah..."

Bai Jingjing struggled desperately, pushing against Yu Tianqi's head with both hands and kicking wildly with both legs, but to no avail. Yu Tianqi, like a ravenous predator that had caught a fish, tilted his head back and swallowed Bai Jingjing whole with a flick of his wrist.

Then, a black light enveloped the two of them, like a silkworm cocoon. Inexplicable changes occurred within, and the black mist outside surged in wildly, dispersing the remaining holy light and pouring into the black cocoon.

A moment later, the black light disappeared, and standing in the same spot was a "monster" that looked exactly like Bai Jingjing, except that its eyes were completely black and the whites of its eyes were not visible.

The monster opened its mouth as if to speak, but only uttered some meaningless syllables. It quickly gave up, sniffed the air, found a new target, and ran quickly in that direction.

He Jinyin heard his granddaughter scream and his heart tightened. He cursed himself for being careless. Because the island was very quiet and he had not encountered anything threatening along the way, he had let his guard down. He was attracted by a building that looked like an ancient ruin and let his granddaughter wander a little too far.

"Yuanyuan, are you alright?"

When He Jinyin arrived, he was relieved to find that his granddaughter had no injuries. He asked with concern, "What happened to you?"

The granddaughter seemed to have seen something terrifying. Startled, she closed her eyes and rushed into He Jinyin's arms, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.

"I think I picked it up..."

He Jinyin comforted her tenderly, "Tell me slowly, don't be afraid, Grandpa is right here, no one can hurt you."

Pfft!

He Jinyin suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen and saw her granddaughter inserting a hand into her stomach. She exclaimed in shock, "Yuanyuan, you... no, you're not Yuanyuan, who are you?"

He Jinyin reacted immediately, knocking the man back with a palm strike. Then, he covered his disemboweled abdomen, pointed at the unknown monster, and asked, "Where is Yuanyuan? What have you done to my granddaughter?"

The monster grinned eerily and said, "She got dumped in the pond."

You! You deserve to die!

He Jinyin attacked in anger, covering several meters in a single step with lightning speed. At the same time, his longsword was drawn. When his foot landed again, the sword had already pierced the monster's chest. The entire movement of taking a step, drawing the sword, crossing, landing, and killing the enemy formed a seamless whole, flowing naturally like clouds and water, exuding a strange beauty.

Although the monster reacted, it was still a beat too slow and failed to dodge the One Sword. However, it did not die. Instead, it grabbed the sword stuck in its chest, thus restraining He Jinyin's movements. Then, it opened its mouth, and its head grew larger again, ready to use the same trick to swallow the man.

"Ten Thousand Ravines Vie to Flow!"

He Jinyin roared, unleashing a burst of Sword Qi that instantly shredded the monster's hands. Then, countless sword shadows appeared, transforming into thousands of sword marks that crisscrossed the monster's body.

With a loud "bang," the monster shattered like an inflated balloon, its body sliced into thousands of small pieces by the flowing Sword Qi, scattered all over the ground.

He Jinyin swayed, his abdomen wound widening from the forceful activation of his ultimate move, causing more blood to flow. A look of immense guilt crossed his face. "Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, it's all Grandpa's fault..."

Before he could finish speaking, the pieces of flesh on the ground suddenly reacted, turning into a mercury-like substance and rushing towards He Jinyin's lower abdomen, burrowing into the wound.

He Jinyin's mind was in turmoil, and he didn't have time to use his internal energy to resist. Soon, he began to struggle painfully and was enveloped in black light. The surrounding mist surged into it, causing new changes.

A moment later, the black light dissipated, and He Jinyin's body reappeared in the same spot, only now his body had been completely replaced by a monster.

The monster glanced at the sword in its hand, then casually swung it, unleashing a fluid Water-Severing Sword Art.

It smiled contentedly, then looked in another direction on the island and said in standard pronunciation, "Next, this direction... there's the smell of delicious food."

Chapter 455 The Complete Form

"Wind and Rain from Eight Directions!"

Yue Xuan hastily channeled his inner energy, his toes stomping on the ground repeatedly, creating three clones that surrounded a girl from four directions. His swordplay suddenly shifted, transforming into a fierce storm of attacks.

He had already given it his all, holding nothing back with his sword, nor did he have the right to. Although the other person looked exactly like a girl in his sister's class, he knew that she was definitely not any Saintess Candidate, and he couldn't even be sure if she was even human.

"The Flowing Water Pays Homage to the Source!"

The girl's sword trembled, as if flowing water covered her entire body, demonstrating her Higher Vehicle Swordsmanship. The soft, watery Sword Qi was like a deep-sea vortex, first absorbing most of the attacking Sword Qi, and then launching a fierce counterattack.

The Sword Qi and clashed, producing a deafening sonic boom that made one's eardrums ache and scalp tingle. The energy exploded into countless fragments, and the residual force shot out in all directions, plowing countless deep and shallow marks into the surrounding ground.

Yue Xuan's three clones were all destroyed. Although he managed to retreat in time, he was still affected by the Sword Qi energy, which pierced his body in many places, leaving bloody holes. He had no time to stop the bleeding. Facing the girl who rushed up again, he gritted his teeth and raised his sword to resist.

The Rain-Covering Sword Technique emphasizes sword momentum like a torrential downpour, dense as the sky, using wave after wave of overwhelming attacks to destroy the opponent. However, in Yue Xuan's hands, it was intermittent, with sparse Sword Qi and flaws everywhere. It was not even a spring rain, let alone a torrential downpour, but at most a drizzle.

The girl opposite him always interrupted him when his sword was halfway through its stroke and just as it was about to reach its peak. She anticipated his moves and seemed to have seen through his sword path, completely disrupting his rhythm and making it impossible for him to connect his sword techniques. If he hadn't been skilled in the World-Treading Leg Technique to dodge and avoid his opponent's fatal attacks, he would probably have been lying on the ground long ago.
