The tentacle monster sensed that something was wrong as well. The cold air transmitted through its tentacles alone was already unbearable, and now that cold air was spreading along its extended tentacles toward its main body. The tentacle monster immediately severed the tentacle Jiu Ming had tightly gripped...
The severed tentacle actually seemed to have a life of its own. Rather than dying, it melted-like wrapped itself around Jiu Ming. Yet without the support of the main body's strength, even if this tentacle retained enough Life Force to mount a counterattack, it could not withstand the accumulated cold air. It froze even as it changed shape, then fell toward the ground.
It hit the ground and shattered with several cracks into chunks of solid ice.
"Hoho, Little Shopkeeper, this thing is quite troublesome." Yakumo Yukari appeared behind Jiu Ming, sitting atop a Gap as she smiled at him. She paid no attention whatsoever to the tentacles counterattacking them. With a wave of her folding fan, purple blades formed from demonic power flashed out, slicing those tentacles apart.
Yet even after being severed, the tentacles still did not die. Relying on their soft yet tough nature, they merely bounced a few times after falling from such a height. Then, those severed tentacles spontaneously developed into separate individuals. They were far weaker than the main body, and their size had not changed much either. Since they were not powerful, the others soon wiped them out.
Wiping them out was extremely troublesome. Other than completely freezing and shattering them with ice, they could only be burned clean with fire. If they were chopped apart with sharp weapons, the minced tentacles would develop into even smaller new individuals. Only when they had become too small to develop any further would they die.
