Come to the surface first.

Yuchimura, underwater, was thinking about how to bypass his body.

I positioned myself six meters below its right pectoral fin, and circled around it from the side, keeping a distance of five meters from its side. Given its massive size, it would be difficult for it to attack me.

Yuchimura then steadied his falling body, pushed off with his legs, and shot his body diagonally upwards, intending to swim past Xia Qiu's body.

Xia Qiu did not attack immediately, but continued to charge forward.

Seeing this, Yuchimura's face showed a relieved expression, and he continued to bypass Xia Qiu, intending to sneak up.

But just as he leaped over Xia Qiu, he discovered that the other's tail was hurtling towards him.

this...

Although Xia Qiu was charging forward, it was moving downwards to the left, while simultaneously twisting its body and swinging its tail upwards to the right.

As Yuchimura leaped over his body, Xia Qiu's tail lashed diagonally upwards towards his side.

Bang.

Yuchimura was struck directly by Xia Qiu's tail, and with a whoosh, the air in his lungs was expelled.

However, he curled up and, using the force of the jerk, leaped upwards.

He was already very close to the water's surface, and this time he burst out of the water, gasping for breath.

Xia Qiu submerged his head, immediately circled around, and then swam upwards, rushing towards Yuchimura on the surface of the water.

Just as Xia Qiu was about to approach Yuchimura, he took another breath, held his breath, and dived into the sea. With a push of his feet, he shot his body into the distance.

boom.

The next moment, Xia Qiu's head smashed through the water's surface, and his entire head appeared above the water.

At that moment, Yuchimura pushed off with both feet again, gripped his long sword tightly, and stabbed at Xia Qiu's side.

Charging Fountain.

The long sword sliced through the water, thrusting towards Xia Qiu.

But at that moment, Xia Qiu's enormous head slammed towards Yuchimura.

puff.

The longsword pierced Xia Qiu's scales and continued to penetrate, going in a full inch, but could go no further.

"Not even a bone was touched?"

Yuchimura discovered that his blade had broken through the scales, but was stopped by the muscles.

His body was incredibly resilient.

Yuchimura's face turned grim. He thrust his sword to its full extent, but dared not attack with full force. He withdrew his sword and dodged downwards.

boom.

The next moment, Xia Qiu's head slammed down onto the water, the force diminished, and then it continued to press down.

Bang.

Yuchimura braced himself with his left hand in front of him, but his arm felt as if it were about to break, and his body plummeted downwards.

Xia Qiu tried to chase after Yuchimura, but Yuchimura stayed close to Xia Qiu's side, gripping his long sword tightly, and thrust it towards the top of Xia Qiu's pectoral fin.

Swallow Strike.

The long sword pierced Xia Qiu's body again, but was still blocked by his muscles.

At the same time, Xia Qiu's tentacles lashed out at Yuchimura.

it's useless.

The instant the tentacles attacked, Yuchimura raised his leg and stomped on them several times.

shave.

This is one of the Six Powers moves, and also the only move that Yuchimura is good at.

"Shaving" refers to stomping the ground ten times in an instant, that is, within 0.36 seconds, to generate powerful explosive force and move the body at high speed.

In the water, Yuchimura cannot shave, but he can stomp seven times in one second.

Using the explosive force of the seven strikes, Yuchimura's body retreated, instantly creating distance, while Xia Qiu's wrists and feet were bounced back.

This move.

Xia Qiu frowned slightly, but did not attack immediately. Instead, he turned around and slowly spread out to face Yuchimura.

This is difficult.

His slashes were not weak; although they posed no threat to him, they could still cause damage.

Secondly, it is fast and has a quick response time.

He can't swim as fast as me in the water, but he's twenty times smaller. If I can position myself correctly and dodge his attacks, I can avoid taking major damage.

This is difficult.

The difficulty here refers to the difficulty in getting rid of him, not the difficulty in leaving him.

If I want to leave, I can do it anytime.

But the stronger the creature, the stronger the urge to devour it becomes.

Xia Qiu turned around and created some distance, while Yuchimura slowly rose to the surface, took a deep breath, and then dived back down.

Looking at that huge Black Sea Fish.

Yuchimura also found it very difficult.

His attacks had little effect on him, and he was powerful and posed a great threat to him.

Yuchimura didn't want to fight him, but he was already in the water, and Yuchimura wasn't willing to leave, so they continued.

boom.

Xia Qiu transformed into a black shadow and charged towards Yuchimura.

"They're here."

Yuchimura stared intently at Xia Qiu, and as he approached, he waded through the water and rushed to one side.

But as soon as he turned around, Xia Qiu turned around too, tilting her head in his direction. In the blink of an eye, she was close, opened her mouth wide, and bit him.

Faced with the sharp teeth, Yuchimura drew his long sword, pressed the back of the blade with his left hand, gripped the hilt with his right, and slashed forward.

clang.

The teeth collided with the longsword, the immense force causing the blade to tremble and transmitting to Yuchimura.

Swoosh.

Yuchimura took the opportunity to step back, creating distance and instantly moving a distance away, only feeling numbness in his arms.

boom.

Xia Qiu charged again, biting at Yuchimura.

Yuchimura seized the opportunity and sank down instantly. Xia Qiu noticed Yuchimura's movement and her abdomen protruded.

Seeing this, Yuchimura held his breath, gripped his sword with both hands, and slashed forward.

If you have tentacles on your abdomen, then cut off your tentacles and then attack you.

Eagle Strike Counter.

Yuchimura's blade seemed to transform into the wings of a hawk, slashing forward.

Pfft.

One of Xia Qiu's tentacles was severed, while the other tentacle was only broken less than halfway through because it was struck by the grappling hook.

Even so, the grappling hook was severed.

It is very powerful.

Although his first tentacle had been struck earlier and could not be actively controlled to contract, he could only control the base to swing out and keep it in a relaxed state. However, the fact that he could still cut off one tentacle shows that he was still quite strong.

But after he unleashed his longsword, Xia Qiu descended, controlling several other tentacles to attack.

Just as Yuchimura was about to swing his sword again, Xia Qiu fell straight down, crashing into Yuchimura's body.

Xia Qiu's body is now 42 meters tall and weighs nearly 300 tons. With such weight, Yuchimura would be unable to withstand it.

So he curled up, turned his body upside down, and then stepped on Xia Qiu's abdomen with both feet.

Bang.

Yuchimura stomped eight times in one second, his body shooting out and rushing into the water, while simultaneously swinging his long sword horizontally.

Puff, puff.

Two tentacles were struck, but the other two tentacles retracted towards Yuchimura.

Yuchimura was fast, but she couldn't escape the attack of the twelve-meter-long tentacles. Her lower body was covered and tightly bound in them.

Pfft, pfft.

The claws, accompanied by the contraction of his wrists and feet, pierced his skin and slowly sank in.

it hurts.

Yuchimura felt his wrist and foot sink into his skin and muscles, and immediately raised his knife and slashed at his wrist and foot.

The tentacle was split open, and the binding force was slightly reduced, but one tentacle remained.

Just as Yuchimura was about to unleash his second strike, Xia Qiu suddenly charged forward.

boom.

Yuchimura suddenly lunged forward, his grip on the knife faltering, unable to deliver the strike.

He tried his best to steady himself, but then he discovered something.

That means this sea fish wasn't just rushing forward, it was also rushing downwards.

not good.

Upon seeing this, Yuchimura immediately drew his longsword and slashed at the wrist.

After being stabbed in the wrist or foot, he slowly released his grip.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yuchimura kicked the water with all his might, but felt excruciating pain in his legs, and his strength was greatly reduced.

But he gritted his teeth and charged diagonally backward, dodging Xia Qiu's pectoral fins and arriving at Xia Qiu's side.

However, he discovered that the other party did not continue to dive, but turned around and swam upwards towards the surface of the sea.

This is?

Xia Qiu was perched near the sea, its head always facing him, its huge mouth split open, revealing sharp teeth, as if mocking him.

Feeling the pain in his left arm and leg, and the tightness in his lungs, Yuchimura's face showed despair.
