Xu Yi's thoughts stirred, and he took out Yun Mingmie's Sumeru Ring. He sent his thoughts inside, and a dark, gleaming blade immediately appeared in his palm.
Gripping the flesh-wall suction cup, he brought the blade down hard. The suction cup fell away with a sharp crack.
Just as he'd expected, this enormous creature had astonishing scales and peerless defenses, but its insides were ordinary.
The instant he severed the suction cup, great spurts of foul blood gushed out. The snake monster's body writhed violently a few times, then remained limp.
The Supreme Spirit Demon Jade suddenly blazed with light, releasing spiritual energy to nourish the monster's body. Xu Yi's thoughts stirred, and he put it into his Sumeru Ring, severing the connection between the jade and the snake monster.
The moment the Supreme Spirit Demon Jade entered his Sumeru Ring, the snake monster sprang back to life. It threw its head back with a piercing howl, writhed wildly a few times, then stopped moving for good.
Its body then began to crumble, like an ancient wall that had weathered a million years. A gust of wind blew, and it instantly turned to ash.
Xu Yi was covered in a rank, fishy stench. Even after sealing off his senses of taste and touch, he could hardly bear it. He casually collected the Spirit Stones scattered on the ground, leaped into the air, and summoned one enormous waterskin after another from his Sumeru Ring. Stripping off his clothes, he rinsed himself from head to toe.
Only after rinsing with more than ten waterskins of clean water did he finally feel comfortable. His inner breath circulated, his blood and qi surged, and the water on him dried in an instant.
Xu Yi changed into a clean blue robe before leaping back down.
