The Gecko Sheds Its Tail

Facing the dazzling flashes of blades, Salon immediately realized that he was no match for this short, crippled "fellow tribesman."

Shepherds are born powerful; so-called skills are merely techniques invented to compensate for insufficient combat strength. However, Shepherds are inherently the most powerful beings.

Any skill or technique possessed by any other life form in the world would be useless to them. Furthermore, with only thirteen shepherds remaining, the Shepherds were united and loving, and it was impossible for them to fight amongst themselves. Therefore, combat skills were unfamiliar to these remaining Shepherds.

Apart from the Tribal King who survived the Glutton Rebellion, the other Shepherds generally lacked combat skills.

As for Bai Qiuran, although Heaven's Envy inherited the concept of "Glutton" and possessed unlimited Purple Mansion and evolutionary potential, every time Heaven's Envy is born, her points are directly reset.

Bai Qiuran also started from scratch and worked her way up step by step to achieve her current strength.

Moreover, the era in which he lived was a time of great strife, when the Demon Race had just retreated, the Human Race was in decline, and the Monster Race was invading.

Coincidentally, the protector of the Azure Nether Sword Sect, the then- Land Immortal Daoist Qingming, Ascension to the Immortal Realm and became a true immortal.

Therefore, back in the Cultivation World, Old Bai truly earned his place step by step through countless battles, leaving behind a trail of bloody footprints.

In terms of combat skills and experience, perhaps only figures like the First Immortal Emperor can compare to him.

Even if someone like Salon, who is only mediocre, had a hundred sudden bursts of brilliance in the moment, he would still be no match for him.

However, Salon also understood that the more things were like this, the less he could back down. If he lost his composure now, he would truly have no chance left.

So the Three-Headed Dragon Person faced the deadly blade without hesitation, practically offering its own hands to the blade.

With a flash of light, the Three-Headed Dragon Person's arm shattered into more than a dozen pieces, crashing to the ground of the island. Salon himself, without hesitation, turned around, maintaining a stance with one head behind and two heads in front, and rushed towards the Void Sea with all his might.

Seeing this, the Giant God Automaton immediately took off to catch up. As Bai Qiuran ran, she threw away her battle sword and pulled out a large spear from the spatial ripples. With a flick of her Long Spear, she unleashed a masterful spear technique that combined the Divine Martial Heavenly Army Spear Style, the Heavenly Saint Buddhist Sect Shout-Staff, and the Immortal Realm Army's spear skills. The spear, like a venomous snake, caught up with Salon and thrust directly at Salon's back.

Salon acted without hesitation. Noticing the Giant God Automaton pointing at it, it immediately offered up the head it was looking back at.

With a soft thud, one of Salon's heads was blasted apart by a single shot from the Giant God Automaton controlled by Bai Qiuran. Blood, flesh, and scales flew everywhere, obscuring the Giant God Automaton's vision. However, Salon did not stop moving. After its right head exploded, it immediately turned its left head behind it, wary of Bai Qiuran's attack. At the same time, it had already escaped Bai Qiuran's melee attack range.

"I won't let you escape."

The Giant God Automaton flipped its hand, gripped the Long Spear in a reverse grip, leaned back, aimed at Salon's back, and then hurled the spear with force.

The spear transformed into a streak of light, hurtling towards Salon's back. However, at that moment, the Three-Headed Dragon Person suddenly raised his long tail and swung it forcefully to meet the Long Spear.

Do!

With a soft clang, the Long Spear pinned Salon's tail to the ground, but Salon turned its head, opened its mouth, and bit off its own tail. Then, dragging its bloody severed tail, it fled to the beach beside the Void Sea.

"I have arrived."

Panting, Salon continued his journey without stopping, leaping directly into the Void Sea.

"You're like a gecko that loses its tail, but I won't let you escape, don't even think about it!"

The spatial ripples behind the Giant God Automaton undulated once more, and the Founder drew four throwing axes from the ripples and hurled them toward Salon.

The four flying axes transformed into spinning discs, and the strong winds blew away the surrounding world. The four flying axes spun and accurately struck Salon was in mid-air.

Salon screamed and fell into the Void Sea.

Huge energy tides erupted from the sea, with storms and energy surging endlessly. Salon no longer floated up, but the Giant God Automaton did not hesitate to draw a long black dagger from its back and follow Salon's footsteps, leaping into the Void Sea.

A faint barrier appeared on the surface of the Machine Puppet as it submerged into the Void Sea. Sure enough, in the unfathomable ocean of energy, Salon, with four axes stuck in its shoulders and legs, was rapidly swimming away into the distance.

Its arms were gone, and its legs were nearly split apart by the flying axe, but the Three-Headed Dragon Person still bravely displayed its Shepherds's talents.

It opened its mouth wide, one of its two mouths swallowing the raging energy in the Void Sea, ignoring the damage the energy was causing to its own internal organs. Salon circulated this raging energy through its abdomen, then ejected it from the mouth of its other head, using this force to quickly swim forward.

Bai Qiuran pushed it to its limit, and two ring-shaped Magic Array appeared beneath the Giant God Automaton's feet. Energy erupted from the Magic Array, causing the Giant God Automaton's speed to increase dramatically, allowing it to catch up with Salon ahead.

As it swam, the Giant God Automaton wielded its halberd, unleashing countless gusts of wind that shattered the surrounding energy, creating an energy vacuum. Countless blades of light also struck Salon from behind, slicing Salon body into pieces.

Blood splattered out as Salon's remains were obliterated by the Void Sea. However, beneath its two severed heads, countless Light Filaments suddenly appeared, stitching together to form two shrunken Salon bodies. Immediately afterward, the two little dragons separated and swam swiftly to the left and right.

Meanwhile, unseen by Bai Qiuran, the limbs that had been severed by the Giant God Automaton and scattered across the island began to pulsate with Light Filaments. They transformed, and complete bodies appeared in front of their tails and behind their heads. The body in front of the tail struggled to pull out the large spear that had been stuck in its own tail, and then ran off in two directions to the left of the Giant God Automaton, together with the small dragon-man formed from the head.

The two severed hands, however, began to move their fingers, crawling like two spiders, and quickly scrambled towards the other side of the beach.

Without a second thought, the Giant God Automaton threw out its halberd, killing the one on the left. At the same time, spatial ripples appeared, and a large bow appeared in its hand. It drew the bow and shot an arrow, killing the little dragon-man on the right.

At the same time, the two severed hands on the island encountered two Magic Array that appeared out of thin air. Fire and Thunder surged from the Magic Array, burning the two severed hands to ashes.
