Qin Tiexin stopped looking at her, and glanced at Void Spirit Python, then at the surrounding terrain.
This moment made him understand that this open area was too beneficial to Void Spirit Python. The space talent had enough room to maneuver here, and its speed could be fully utilized, while he could only be passively beaten in this open area.
Moreover, its Space Blade can be shot from any angle, and its Intangibility can reappear at any position. If you continue to waste it here, the consumption will only increase.
Must change place.
He retreated while fighting, switching his footwork to Water Phase Steps plus Dodging Step, and walked deeper into the stone forest.
Water Phase Steps pays attention to leveraging force, and Dodging Step pays attention to short-distance sudden changes. In the dense stone forest, the advantages of these two steps are completely amplified.
Void Spirit Python thought he was going to escape, so the attack became more fierce. Silver-white figures kept flashing among the gravel, and each attack carried a sharp sound of breaking wind.
But Qin Tiexin moved flexibly between the narrow stone pillars, turning and stopping sharply against the stone wall. Void Spirit Python's several attacks only grazed the corner of his clothes.
Qin Tiexin always kept a few feet away from it and retreated into the depths of the stone forest unhurriedly.
He is observing.
Every time Void Spirit Python appears from the space mezzanine to attack, it takes about half a breath to Intangibility again. This half breath is so short that it is almost impossible to distinguish it with the naked eye, but with the help of Killing Intent Perception, he can count it clearly.
Three times, five times, eight times, each time is half a breath, and the error is no more than an instant.
Enough.
Qin Tiexin retreated to the deepest part of the stone forest, leaning against a three-foot-high boulder, completely sealing the space behind him. There were sloping and staggered stone pillars on both sides, and above his head was a narrow gap formed by several collapsed beams. If Void Spirit Python wanted to attack him, he could only attack him from the front.
The angle of Space Blade is restricted, and most of the positions where Intangibility can appear are reduced.
This is it!
Void Spirit Python obviously hesitated as it chased into the crevices of the rocks. It stopped at the end of the narrow path, looked around, and a trace of vigilance flashed in its vertical pupils.
This human suddenly stopped running. With its intelligence, it had already noticed that something was wrong. The position seemed to be unfavorable to it. The snake's head turned slightly, as if hesitating whether to retreat to the open area.
Qin Tiexin was waiting for this moment of hesitation.
He deliberately breathed heavily, and his chest rose and fell unnaturally. The hand holding the knife trembled slightly, and even the tip of the knife shook very lightly. Qi and Blood was deliberately suppressed by his movements, and his face was a bit paler than before, and the corners of his mouth still had the sweet taste from the previous bite.
Void Spirit Python stopped thinking about retreating and narrowed his vertical pupils slightly.
It smelled the smell of exhaustion on this human being. The wound caused by the Space Blade was still oozing blood. His breathing was messed up, his dodge was half a beat slow, and the angle of the swing of the knife was also wrong. The tail slap on the chest just now seemed not to be completely ineffective. This human being couldn't hold on anymore.
Void Spirit Python decided not to waste spiritual power and released Space Blade. It lowered the snake's body, its silver-white scales opened slightly, and the whole body disappeared out of thin air in front of Qin Tiexin, leaving only a very faint space ripple, which silently flashed towards his side.
One hit to kill!
Coming.
Qin Tiexin closed his eyes, Killing Intent Perception spread all over his body like a net.
There was nothing unusual about the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the air. The rubble that fell from the remaining wall was still bouncing slightly on the ground, but the aura captured by Killing Intent Perception was no longer in this direction. It went around, from the space mezzanine to his left, and was about to emerge from there to launch the final blow.
The murderous intention is not an attack and will not disappear due to space travel. Every time it squeezes out of the mezzanine, the murderous intention will arrive one step ahead of the body.
Qin Tiexin stood there, breathing rapidly, and the hands holding Edgeless were still trembling. But deep in his chest, the power of Qi and Blood that had been stored all the way had reached the critical point.
A very faint spatial ripple spread out three feet to his left.
Void Spirit Python squeezed out of the space mezzanine. The moment it materialized, the silver-white scales regained their luster under the dark red skylight. The snake's mouth opened wide, its fangs exposed, and it bit Qin Tiexin's neck.
That's it now.
Qin Tiexin turned sideways, turned his head, and the power of Qi and Blood that had been fully stored in his chest suddenly exploded.
Lion's Roar.
Roar!!!!!!
This roar was different from any previous one. He poured Foundation Establishment Realm's spiritual power and Qi and Blood's vibrations all over his body into his throat at the same time, and a fan-shaped golden sound wave erupted from his mouth like substance.
Wherever the sound wave passed, spiderweb-like cracks exploded on the surface of the stone pillar, and the gravel and dust were rolled into a circular air wave that swept wildly around.
Void Spirit Python had just squeezed out of the space mezzanine, and before his body had completely solidified, he hit the sound wave head-on.
Physical attacks could not hurt it, but the sonic vibrations directly acted on the soul level. It felt its head buzzing, its vertical pupils dilated instantly, and the entire snake froze in mid-air, even the silver light on its scales stopped.
By the time it came to its senses and tried to Intangibility again, it was already too late.
Qin Tiexin has been waiting for this moment.
Lion's Roar is currently his only non-physical attack method that can work at mid-range. No matter how strong Void Spirit Python's space talent is, the strength of his soul may not be able to match it.
If this roar was ineffective, he could only bear its attack and bet on who would run out of energy first. Fortunately, it worked.
This gap is enough.
Qin Tiexin holds Edgeless with both hands, aims the tip of the knife at Void Spirit Python, tightens the muscles of both legs, and ejects the whole person from the place. Mountain-Shaking Steps plus Burst Step, at the same time spiritual power is poured into the tip of the knife.
Heavy Mountain Saber Technique fifth form, Shatter the Mountain.
In recent battles, he had used Shatter the Mountain several times, and he had become more and more proficient in his sword skills. The tip of the sword trembled in the air, leaving a blurry afterimage, and the buzzing sound was so sharp that it almost pierced the eardrum. The blade did not slash at the scales, nor did it cut seven inches, but pierced straight into the snake's mouth.
The Shekou is the softest part of Void Spirit Python's body. Without the protection of scales, the tip of the knife is as powerful as a broken bamboo.
The tip of the knife penetrated the upper jaw from the mouth, penetrated the entire snake's head, and went all the way down the spine. The spiritual power and Qi and Blood's power poured into the knife exploded layer by layer inside the snake's belly, and the buzzing sound reached its highest point in Void Spirit Python's body, and then stopped abruptly.
A circle of golden spiritual power ripples spread from the snake's mouth toward the snake's tail. The silver-white scales were shattered from the inside, and broken scales and dark purple snake blood flew in all directions.
Void Spirit Python's vertical pupils froze with the last hint of shock.
It was clear that it had the advantage just a moment ago, so why did it suddenly... Of course, it had no chance to think.
The entire snake body was cut in half vertically from the inside. A circle of dark purple snake blood first oozed out from the incision, and then the two halves of the snake body slowly slid apart to both sides and crashed to the ground. The snake blood splashed on the gravel ground, emitting white smoke.
Qin Tiexin leaned on Edgeless and landed on one knee, gasping for air.
Dantian consumed more than half of his spiritual liquid. Lion's Roar and Shatter the Mountain were both high-consuming martial arts. This battle almost emptied nearly half of his reserves.
But it's actually not as serious as what he showed. Most of his current shortness of breath, sluggish movements, and pale face are just an act.
He just wanted to see if, in this situation, the girl would take action or reveal her true colors.
If she really has evil intentions, this is when he is at his "weakest" and the best time to take action. If she takes action, she can't blame him.
