"Boy, are you tickling me?"

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor was surprised by Yang Shan's speed, but he was quite dismissive of the intensity of Yang Shan's attacks.

In the eyes of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, Yang Shan's "powerful Dou Technique" must have consumed a lot of energy.

However, the damage it caused can only be considered excellent among low- Dou Emperor.

Facing this Peak Sixth Tier Thousand Beast King, Yang Shan had absolutely no chance of winning! Therefore, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor racked its brains but still couldn't figure it out:

"How dare you! Huh?"

What right does a One Star Dou Huang have to provoke it? The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor felt its dignity had been insulted, and an unnamed rage surged within it:

"I'll devour you!"

In an instant, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor unleashed its full power.

It spewed out powerful energy from its mouth, flapped its wings incessantly, and whipped its tail wildly.

But the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor was like a vicious dog in chains.

Yang Shan was standing far beyond the length of the iron chain.

So even if Yang Shan took out a sausage to provoke him, and even spat twice, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor couldn't do anything about Yang Shan.

Yang Shan's absolute control over the distance ensured that he never lost a drop of blood.

Seeing Yang Shan dodging left and right, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor was furious. "Boy, you can hide now. Let's see how long you can hide. Don't give me a chance, or you'll die easier than stepping on an ant!"

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's words were absolutely true.

Although Yang Shan had the Scarlet Spirit Cloak with him, his body was still too fragile.

If the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor even brushes against you, the Vitality Shield of your Dou Qi Armor will definitely drop rapidly.

If Yang Shan were to be struck head-on by the aura blades unleashed by the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's wings, he would be utterly dead! The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor could allow Yang Shan to attack at will, but Yang Shan had no room for error.

This is the confidence of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor! The two sides chased each other in the air, and after a long and fruitless pursuit, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor once again activated his Bloodline Secret Skill.

The four pairs of wings shone brightly, and its speed suddenly increased by more than one level! The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor once said that at the Dou Emperor level, few people could compare with its speed, and this was not just boasting.

Yang Shan judged that when the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor activated this Bloodline Secret Skill, it could increase its speed to over 6000 points in a short period of time! But Yang Shan's "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" was in a class of its own among Earth Tier Low Grade Dou Technique!

The calculation formula is:

300+ speed value × 3.5!

With his Dou Qi Transformation Wings activated, Yang Shan's speed can exceed 3000 points! Once he unleashes the "Three Thousand Thunder Movement," his speed will break 10,000!

It would be truly a miracle if the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor could catch him!

After creating some distance, Yang Shan seemed to still be shaken. When he turned around and saw the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor chasing after him again, he quickly unleashed an Overload Bombardment to try to stop it.

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor grinned maliciously. "Boy, let's see how long you can last!"

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor is not easy to fool. Its speed-enhancing agility Dou Technique are bound to be short-lived and consume a lot of energy.

Moreover, the Dou Technique activated by Yang Shan's Heavenly Flames and lightning were quite powerful and had a wide range.

How could the consumption be any less?

Even if Yang Shan is as slippery as an eel, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor only needs to wait for Yang Shan's Dou Qi to be exhausted before he can easily control him!

But a minute later, Yang Shan began to show signs of fatigue, much to the delight of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor.

Two minutes passed, Yang Shan was even more exhausted. The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor felt that victory was in sight! Three minutes passed, Yang Shan began to pant heavily, but his speed did not slow down at all. The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor thought that Yang Shan was just having a final burst of energy before death.

Five minutes passed. Yang Shan narrowly avoided the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's attack again, and then skillfully overwhelmed the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor with an Overload.

"Snake King, don't come so close, I'm scared!"

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's abdomen began to swell at a visible rate, like a toad.

Then, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor opened its mouth wide, its roar carrying with it a powerful aura:

"You're afraid of your own mother!"

The Demon Energy protecting the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor was almost destroyed by Yang Shan. If it still couldn't see that Yang Shan was acting, then it would have lived for hundreds of years in vain! It, a dignified sixth-order Thousand Beast King, was actually being played by a One Star Dou Huang for so long!

"If I don't kill you today, I'll change my name!"

Yang Shan almost burst out laughing.

Yang Shan focused on developing his attack and speed, with the core purpose of using them to escape and overcome opponents of higher levels!

High attack power is necessary to inflict effective damage, while higher speed increases one's survivability.

Players are familiar with Yang Shan's speed-related skills, which mainly involve predicting attacks and then dodging them precisely.

Another skill that Yang Shan had never shown in public was the quick-learning of the "Kite Tactic".

Simply put, it means that while being chased by the enemy, you can use the speed difference between the two sides to attack the opponent with ranged Dou Technique while ensuring that you are not attacked yourself.

Yang Shan had never used it before because the conditions did not allow it.

Even if you exhaust an opponent's Dou Qi, you can't kill them if they have too much health and Vitality Shield.

If his health and Vitality Shield are not high enough, Yang Shan can simply use his speed advantage in combination with burst Dou Technique to kill him.

After obtaining the Scarlet Spirit Cloak and refining the Sea Heart Flame, Yang Shan's Dou Qi qi endurance received an almost miraculous boost, which allowed the "Kite Tactic" to unleash its full tactical value.

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor was unlucky enough to become the victim of Yang Shan's first use of the "Kite Tactic".

There was nothing he could do; the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor was simply too powerful. Even if Yang Shan used explosive Dou Technique to launch a strong attack, he couldn't kill it in a short time, and he would be instantly killed if he wasn't careful.

If we can't win by fighting head-on, then this is the only way!

The Heaven and Earth Oddities Overload, which only consumes 4 points of Dou Qi each time, bombarded the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's protective body of over a million Demon Energy in five minutes!

Yang Shan has already succeeded halfway.

Although the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor still had a staggering 850,000 Qi and Blood and 4,200 defense points, Yang Shan believed it was only a matter of time before it was defeated.

However, at this point, Yang Shan became even more cautious.

The strength of the Thousand Beast King is equivalent to that of the Golden Word Seal. Although the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor is not as powerful as Medusa Queen, it should be roughly the same as that of Hu Qian.

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor has only displayed two Bloodline Secret Skill so far.

Yang Shan didn't believe that the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor was really only capable of this much.

He needs to wait for an opportunity.

However, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, feeling tricked, seemed unwilling to use any of his trump cards, resorting instead to Demon Energy and close combat in an attempt to regain the upper hand.

One hit is all it takes for Yang Shan's Dou Qi Armor to crack.

Two blows and it'll shatter! A third blow and Yang Shan will be dead for sure!

Seeing this, Yang Shan felt that he needed to add fuel to the fire for the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, to make it less rational.

In the heat of battle, speaking when there's no need is a waste of time.

But now is the time to be. "Emperor Serpent Black Wing Eight! Your Demon Energy shield is shattered, do you still want to struggle?"

The taunts were met with a direct and decisive blow! The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's scales exploded. "I'll make sure your stinking mouth can never speak again!"

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor seemed to have suffered a stomach spasm, its body convulsing, and then its four pairs of wings emitted a terrifying dark golden Demon Energy.

In an instant, the speed of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor surged once again.

Even if Yang Shan activated the "Three Thousand Thunder Movement", he was only slightly faster than the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor.

It's difficult for the gap between the two to widen further.

"You think you're so good at dodging? I'll see how you dodge this time. Black Feather brat, what are you doing? Stop!"

Upon seeing the twenty phantom demonic beasts behind Yang Shan, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor realized that something terrible was about to happen.

Its "Black Feather Thousand Kills" was about to be activated, but Yang Shan's Dou Technique were clearly faster.

"The Lingering Spirit Hundred Howls" has a standard Time Acceleration of 10 seconds.

Moreover, even if Yang Shan's soul enters the Spirit Realm Middle Stage, there is no way to shorten the Time Acceleration.

Many high-burst Dou Technique cannot be activated instantly, which makes the timing of using Dou Technique particularly important during combat.

Yang Shan, that Old Schemer, will definitely set a trap once he opens his mouth during a battle.

In fact, the moment Yang Shan finished his taunts and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor began to rage, he had already started preparing "The Lingering Spirit Hundred Howls".

This was somewhat of a prediction.

Predict what powerful Dou Technique the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor will use that requires a large amount of Demon Energy to activate.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the prediction fails.

Yang Shan timed this perfectly.

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor no longer has any Demon Energy protecting him.

Yang Shan was already planning to counterattack, so using "Lingering Spirit Hundred Howls" to weaken the opponent's attributes first was the most suitable approach.

But the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor still didn't take Yang Shan seriously at all.

I've always thought that Yang Shan, this mere One Star Dou Huang, is giving it a good scraping.

Given the chance, it could shatter all of Yang Shan's bones with a single flick of its tail! Even after being scratched by Yang Shan until its Demon Energy was gone, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor still stubbornly believed that Yang Shan had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

Now, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor needs to pay the price for his arrogance.

"Lingering Spirit Hundred Howls" was activated first! If this Dou Technique did not involve a soul attack, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor could have used his speed to buy some more time and successfully release "Black Feather Thousand Kills" to Dou Technique with Yang Shan.

But when the sound waves came, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor felt as if ten thousand poisonous bees were standing on its head, ignoring its tough scales and relentlessly stabbing its head with their stingers!

The "Black Feather Thousand Kills" technique, which was only half a step away from completion, came to nothing because it lost the control of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor.

Seeing the negative status "All attributes reduced by 20%" appear on the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's panel, Yang Shan grabbed the Blood Roar Blade and started slashing without saying a word!

The seven layers of sword techniques in "Tyrant Blade".

However, only the "Tyrant Blade" can unleash the attack power and amplification of the Blood Roar Blade.

In close combat, it's easier to hit the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's weak points with the Blood Roar Blade.

Yang Shan then unleashed a flurry of slashes at the left eye of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor.

Fortunately, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's eyes are closed, and its eyelids provide protection.

Otherwise, at most two strikes would have ruined the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's left eye.

"Soul attack! Soul attack! Ah!"

The enormous body of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor began to thrash wildly.

Even so, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's attacks should not be underestimated.

Yang Shan was constantly on guard against being hit, while simultaneously slashing at the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's left eye as fast as possible.

Eight cuts were made in quick succession, followed by a hissing sound.

Yang Shan finally managed to cut a large gash in the left eyelid of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor.

"Get out! Get out!"

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's scales all flipped upwards.

Yang Shan's breath hitched, and almost instinctively he unleashed the "Three Thousand Thunder Movement"! The next instant, terrifying Demon Gang erupted from the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's body.

If this move were released on the ground, it would probably level everything within a 500-meter radius!

The sixth-tier Thousand Beast King is indeed troublesome, with far more moves than the fourth and fifth-tier ones.

"You just wait, brat! I'll remember you! I'll kill you sooner or later!"

The infamous Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor actually chose to flee at this moment!

"Isn't it a bit late?"

When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy tires, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue!

Yang Shan fully utilized the "Sixteen-Character Guerrilla Warfare Tactic" proposed by the great China.

Strike while the iron is hot! Yang Shan pursued relentlessly, his Dou Qi rapidly evaporating.

Twenty illusory figures reappeared.

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor was now terrified. "Boy, I advise you not to be ungrateful. Do you really think I can't kill you?"

As soon as the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor finished speaking, the twenty phantom demonic beasts roared once more.

This time, however, what gathered from the mouths of the twenty phantom demonic beasts was not simply sound waves.

It was the Sea Heart Flame! With the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's attributes weakened, Yang Shan could easily catch up, so he didn't care about being a little slower.

He dared not use "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" first.

The power of the Dou Technique Fusion Overload is too great, and its range is too wide.

"Three Thousand Thunder Movement" has a 0.5-second Time Acceleration.

That crucial 0.5 seconds almost killed Yang Shan when he first started the experiment.

Therefore, Yang Shan usually suppresses "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" and starts activating it 0.5 seconds before the Overload is triggered.

Then, the instant it was triggered, it fled at top speed.

To avoid the comical situation where you fail to defeat others and end up getting yourself killed instead.

"What the hell is going on?!"

The core principle of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's education for the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor is: arrogance is acceptable, but one must have manners.

But the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor felt he was about to die, so what was the point of maintaining composure! The mushroom cloud woven from Crimson Thunder and azure flames was so conspicuous in the boundless desert.

Even though Yang Shan used the "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" technique, he was still grazed by the aftershocks because the explosion was so large.

The Vitality Shield of the Dou Qi Armor immediately dropped by half! This thing, if you're not careful, can really kill you.

In the future, we will need to find some more experienced and trustworthy seniors to serve as sparring partners.

If Yang Shan was in such a state, then the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor must be in an even worse predicament.

The explosion, dealing over 240,000 damage points, tore the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's skin and flesh apart.

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor was vomiting mouthfuls of blood.

It was definitely blown up and suffered internal injuries! Although the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor still had nearly 600,000 HP, it really didn't dare to continue fighting Yang Shan.

The fear of death knocking at the door spread through his heart, and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor disregarded all decorum.

It only regretted that its parents hadn't given it more wings.

Yang Shan's confidence in his unparalleled speed within the Dou Emperor had long been shattered by Yang Shan's single strike.

"Escape! I cannot die here! I am still young! I have not yet obtained Medusa! I must escape! Escape!"

But Yang Shan followed behind like a ghost, lightning crackling in his left hand and fire blazing in his right, his words sounding like the Grim Reaper demanding a life. "Snake King, where are you going, Snake King?"

"Serpent King, don't go!"

"Hehehe!"
