The giant octopus weakly waved its claws, as if trying to hit Qin Ze.
But since it had already split open, it was clearly unable to do that; the tentacles lifted for a moment and then lowered.
Countless tiny octopuses surged out from under it and crawled up its cross-section.
They were like Qin Ze's alter egos, dedicating their power to heal the giant octopus.
However, wisps of sword energy still lingered at the wound.
The little octopus was almost instantly shredded into pieces by the sword energy as soon as it got close.
Once the last servant was killed, the giant octopus was completely powerless to reverse the situation.
puff--
Qin Ze plunged his sword into the giant octopus's body and skillfully searched for the Soul Orb.
After searching for a while, he found nothing.
"No?"
Qin Ze was stunned.
He searched almost the entire inside of the giant octopus, but found nothing.
The giant octopus, barely breathing, wore a mocking expression.
It's as if it's saying:
Hehe~ You didn't expect that, did you? I didn't~
Qin Ze was furious; all that effort had been for nothing.
The more Qin Ze looked at the giant octopus's face, the angrier he became. With a single sweep of his sword, he cut the octopus into four pieces.
Faintly, Qin Ze heard the giant octopus's voice transmission in his ear.
"The new god of Human Race, live well."
"I will personally collect your head..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the giant octopus died completely.
Qin Ze frowned.
The giant octopus's meaning was clear: it wasn't dead, even though its corpse was right in front of it.
The octopus swarm surrounding the sick beast in the sky suddenly plummeted down like drones that had run out of power.
It self-destructed immediately upon landing, carpet-bombing the ground.
The old man who had practiced the Black Tortoise Shield immediately stepped forward, shielding the other clones beneath him to prevent further casualties.
Qin Ze fell into deep thought as he looked at the corpse of the giant octopus before him.
Those little octopus servants also didn't have Soul Orb. Qin Ze had previously thought they were just like War Puppet, created by the giant octopus using its own abilities.
And now, the giant octopus also lacks Soul Orb.
Qin Ze had a bold idea: the giant octopus and the little octopus were actually the same thing; they were both puppets.
The only difference is that the giant octopus is of a higher level and acts as a signal relay station, directing the smaller octopus groups.
Even the puppets are SS-level alien beasts, so how high must the level of the creator behind them be?
SSS-rank, or is it an evil god?
"Can you stop spacing out?"
"While your sword is still sharp, hurry up and chop this guy down!"
The Dharma King's voice interrupted Qin Ze's thoughts.
He looked up and saw the Dharma King, the Giant Overlord, and the Mist Lord besieging the Sick Beast and the Mantis Beast.
Qin Ze's " Three-Second Real Man " had half its time left. He pulled out the greatsword from the giant octopus corpse and took to the air.
The sick beast was truly fierce; even when surrounded by three people, it held its own.
The mantis-like beast became invisible again, so the Dharma King quickly used electricity to bring it out.
Lacking the output of the Dharma King, the Sick Beast first used a hurricane to disperse the mist, and then a "Dragon Tail Sweep" struck the Giant Overlord squarely in the chest, sending the Giant Overlord crashing to the ground.
Qin Ze slashed his sword at the sick beast.
A white sword aura, over ten meters long, unleashed a dazzling burst of light and slammed into the flower.
Bang--
After the explosion, the flower only lost a few petals.
"Why has its power been reduced?"
Qin Ze asked Miss Sword Case.
The power of that sword strike was significantly weaker than the one used to cut the giant octopus.
Moreover, Qin Ze clearly felt that the spirit within the sword was rapidly disappearing, and the feeling of "man and sword as one" was gone.
Miss Sword Case replied, "The first sword strike of a sword nurtured is always the strongest. As time goes on, the sword's intent will gradually weaken until..."
Click click click--
The bone sword in Qin Ze's hand suddenly became covered in cracks and shattered in an instant.
Until the sword shattered completely.
While Miss Sword Case's ability can temporarily imbue a sword with powerful sword intent, it also has a significant backlash on the sword itself.
It's like overdrawing all future potential; after a brief period of glory, only demise remains.
Qin Ze immediately drew out a brand-new bone sword. "Help me maintain another one."
Miss Sword Case said weakly, "It's not my original sword; I can only nurture one a day."
"And you have to tell me in advance when you need to use it."
"A sword cannot be kept idle indefinitely; if it withstands the sword's intent for too long, it will break."
Qin Ze felt only disappointment.
As his " Three-Second Real Man " performance came to an end, Qin Ze began to feel his strength waning.
"Forget about the smaller one, keep the bigger one."
Upon hearing Qin Ze's summons, the Dharma King returned, grumbling and cursing.
The mantis beast immediately became invisible and vanished into the void, rushing swiftly into the distance.
The Four Heavenly King fought from beginning to end, and now they all showed signs of fatigue.
On the contrary, the sick beast, who joined midway and remained Sidelines observer, occasionally spraying pollen, was still in peak condition.
Between sesame seeds and watermelon, Qin Ze decisively chose watermelon.
The mantis is too agile; it would take at least two people to subdue it.
The diseased beast blew "disease hurricane" at everyone while speeding away.
boom--
A pure white energy cannon shot down from the ground.
Brother Devour unleashed all the damage he had taken throughout the entire match.
The Giant Overlord slowly stood up, his vertical pupil on his forehead opened, and he immediately unleashed a beam of red death light.
The Mist Lord, squeezing out the last vestiges of his vital energy, gathered the Fog of War that the diseased beast had scattered back together.
While causing the diseased beast to briefly lose its way, he crossed his arms and unleashed a cross-shaped Mist Blade.
Sizzle--
The Dharma King opened his arms, and his entire body transformed into a ball of lightning, with only his eyes flashing within.
boom--
The next second, dozens of lightning bolts, like a giant demon's claw, viciously grabbed at the sick beast.
Qin Ze's Source of God was burning wildly, and Divine Markings covered the entire greatsword.
"Success or failure hinges on this."
A golden sword light shot into the sky, tearing a gap tens of meters long in the dark sky, which was clearly visible even from Penglai City.
The diseased beast was devoured by attacks from all directions.
With a deafening explosion, shockwaves spread through the air, and the Chaos sky suddenly became clear and blue.
Qin Ze knelt on one knee, leaning on his greatsword.
After two consecutive " Three-Second Real Man " moments, he was too exhausted to move.
As the special effects of everyone's skills faded, the sick beast reappeared in their sight.
That once-gorgeous flower was now just a bud, with a face on it that looked both funny and sad.
The diseased beast had both forelimbs severed, and a deep sword wound on its chest exposed its internal organs.
Dragging its battered and broken body, the diseased beast still fled rapidly into the distance.
Qin Ze wanted to curse inwardly.
How come they're still alive?
The Brother Devour and Giant Overlord, who still had some energy left, quickly went to intercept them.
Qin Ze sighed inwardly.
The strength of the SS-class alien beast is simply excessive.
Brother Devour and Giant Overlord are not good at aerial combat, and the Sick Beast is determined to leave, making it difficult to keep it.
Bang--
A thunderous roar suddenly resounded above everyone's heads.
Qin Ze raised his head.
A streak of silver light descended straight from the sky, striking the sick beast Precision in the back, its powerful kinetic energy slamming it to the ground.
With a deafening roar, it shattered countless monster eggs, raising a cloud of dust.
