Chapter 65: Eight Stars
Xu Huizhi successfully delayed the pace of the core beast.
Lu Jiuxue arrived first, dodging the core beast's hind leg kick from behind, and slashed its side with a sword.
Jiang Yun saw in the back that Senior Sister Lu's sword didn't use any fancy skills at all, it was a sword that was really poured into the internal qi and smashed down.
This is a bit unusual, it stands to reason that Lu Jiuxue cultivates the Funeral Flower Swordsmanship, which is known for its exquisite sword skills, and it shouldn't be fought like this.
A more plausible explanation is that this monster doesn't eat all the bells and whistles. The layer of gray and white rock covered by it is supposed to have a good defensive effect against the damage of sharp blades.
Zheng Rui, who caught up later, also chose the same way of fighting.
Jiang Yun, who fell to the back, also arrived.
Just now, while he was rushing forward, he observed the battle of the three senior sisters fighting this monster, and he basically saw the strength of this core beast - judging from its physical strength and the concentration of the use of aura, Qi Baxing's level was not running, but it didn't seem to be particularly good at fighting, and its movements were very clumsy, be careful not to be kicked and bitten by it, the problem should not be big.
Learning from Senior Sister Lu, Jiang Yun didn't think about anything fancy, and when its attention was attracted away by Lu Jiuxue's heavy blow, he lifted the Demon Breaking Blade on the side of the monster and blasted out a 'big waterfall attack'!
The internal qi of the 'Great River Jue' that was stirred up slammed down with the blade of the sword. On the surface of the monster's body, the rocks that were in contact with the sword move were blown away a lot, and the most terrifying thing was that the Demon Breaker Blade actually slashed into its body!
The extremely sharp characteristics of the Demon Breaker Blade made Jiang Yun the weakest of the four people present, but he hit a damage that was not weaker than Lu Jiuxue.
The damage caused by his sword to the core beast was far stronger than that of Zheng Rui of Qi Wuxing. Zheng Rui is not only weak, but she mainly cultivates the funeral flower system, and her fancy sword moves are useless for monsters like core beasts, which also makes her biggest advantage unable to be brought into play.
Even if it was Xu Huizhi's previous 'Cloud Spiritual Qi' sword move, which had the effect of internal qi penetration, I am afraid that the damage was far less intuitive than Jiang Yun's sword. That is, Senior Sister Lu, relying on Qi Qixing's internal qi realm, the damage poured down can be similar to Jiang Yun's sword.
When he went down with this sword, not only did the epidermal rocks fly, but a lot of blood flowed out along with the Demon Breaker Blade that slashed into his body.
It turned out that this monster still had blood in its body, not the monster whose entire body was made of rocks as Jiang Yun had imagined before.
Under the pain, the monster shook its head violently, and bit Jiang Yun with its big mouth.
He hurriedly dodged, not daring to be bitten. To be able to deal strong enough damage, relying on the mysterious Demon Breaker Blade in his hand, the role played by his internal qi is only a bonus at best. The strength level of this monster has reached the Eight Stars of Qi, and if it is bitten, it will be directly fatal, and there is no struggle at all.
But the sword just now was too ruthless, and it angered the monster so much that it didn't bite it, and the two forelimbs grabbed towards Jiang Yun.
Raising his sword to block, Jiang Yun suddenly felt a huge force coming, so that he couldn't even hold the sword, the broken demon blade was shattered and flew out, and the person couldn't stand on his feet and fell to the ground.
At the last moment, Lu Jiuxue arrived in time, and with another full blow, under the frenzied pouring of internal qi, the monster's head was deflected, preventing it from further pursuing Jiang Yun.
"Thank you, senior sister." Jiang Yun escaped and temporarily withdrew from the battle, first picking up his Demon Breaking Blade.
"If you want to go to war, you must be careful." Lu Jiuxue didn't have time to talk much, in the face of this monster, she was the main force.
For Senior Sister Lu's warning, Jiang Yun certainly had to take it to heart.
Just now, the core beast gave him a complete lesson.
His current true internal qi realm is only Qi Four Stars, and this monster, Qi Eight Stars' strength, is not something he can hard-hit. Even if it was just a casual wave, he was knocked down with a sword.
If it weren't for the internal qi to protect his body, he was afraid that he would have been hit hard and would not be able to stand up.
The core beast's two forelimbs, much thinner than its four thick hind limbs, had just been chased in a hurry, and the monster had not fully exerted its strength. But just like this, it caused such a terrifying effect, Jiang Yun didn't dare to think about what would happen if he was kicked by its hind legs.
Lifting the sword again, Jiang Yun approached with a more cautious attitude.
He didn't dare to use the 'Great Waterfall Strike' anymore. This move is certainly powerful, and relying on the sharpness of the Demon Breaker Blade, it can do considerable damage, but because of its large movements, even if the core beast is clumsy, it can seize the opportunity to attack him.
But you don't need to hit the waterfall, you need to pay attention to dodging the opponent's attack, and the damage that Jiang Yun can cause is also greatly reduced.
The sharpness of the Demon Breaker Blade is not invincible, and without the blessing of internal qi, it is difficult to break through the monster's rocky skin defenses.
However, the situation of the battle is still biased in favor of Jiang Yun's side at present.
The core beast's movements were too slow, and when it was attracted by Lu Jiuxue, the other three were always able to use their internal qi to play some effects, even if the damage they did was not strong.
And once this monster can't stand it anymore and turns its head to pounce on the other three, they will always be able to pull out and retreat, and Lu Jiuxue will be able to take the opportunity to give it a hard blow.
Monsters that can only be beaten passively and are difficult to seize the opportunity to hurt the four swordsmen, no matter how strong their defense ability is, there will always be a time when they will be exhausted of their physical strength and blood.
And as the battle progressed, Jiang Yun also found a good opportunity.
He was on the side, just in time to see the wound he had made with the 'Great Waterfall Strike' earlier.
The wound was still bleeding, and the 'Tooth Demon Talisman's' bleeding damage bonus was working—though against the Awakening Core Beast, this effect was better than nothing.
However, Jiang Yun also had an idea.
Taking advantage of Lu Jiuxue's tentative launch of a new offensive, so that the monster had to deal with it with all his might, Jiang Yun seized the opportunity to move forward. didn't use the 'big waterfall attack', but instead used a trick 'water diversion slash'.
Under the dual stabilizing effects of the 'Kenshin Secret Codex' and the 'Spirit Summoning Spell', he calmly and accurately sliced the Demon Breaker Blade into the previous wound.
The outer layer of rock skin, which has been damaged without encountering obstacles, cannot stop the Demon Breaker.
The blade added another knife to the old wound, and the wound did not deepen much, but the special bleeding effect brought by the 'Water Diversion Slash' had an effect.
The wound, which was already on the verge of bleeding, suddenly increased the amount of bleeding!
The monster didn't feel anything, this sword pain was not so painful, at least it was not enough to make it change the attention that was originally placed on Lu Jiuxue.
But as the blood continued to flow out, it gradually felt that its body became weak.
The already clumsy body has become more sluggish; The powerful power has also become a little softer.
The opportunity for victory has arrived.
