Chapter 390: Can’t be killed?

Liang Yu, not believing in evil, took out another spirit ball and, with the same posture as before, threw it towards the Blood-colored monster.

Unlike last time, this time the Blood-colored monster did not attack the spirit ball. From the previous one, it seemed this thing had no attack power and couldn’t harm it, so it didn’t pay attention.

It allowed the spirit ball to form a parabola in the air, then, just like before, it smashed into its body.

Lady Luck did not favor Liang Yu, and no miracle occurred at this moment.

The fate of this spirit ball was exactly the same as the previous one; it suddenly burst open during capture.

After these two attempts, Liang Yu no longer harbored thoughts of subduing it as an ally. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but rather that the spirit ball was ineffective.

He didn’t know why this was happening, but he vaguely felt it must be an issue with the Blood-colored monster in front of him.

The only explanation now was that this Blood-colored monster, under the spirit ball’s judgment, was classified as human; otherwise, it would be impossible not to catch it.

If the opponent was human and the spirit ball was ineffective, then it would be very easy to understand.

However, Liang Yu looked at the Blood-colored monster in the Blood Pool and found it a great stretch to call it a person.

It was true it had a humanoid form and was gradually perfecting it, but the vines on its body did not look like something a human could possess.

Liang Yu didn’t bother anymore and directly ordered the Sixteen Type to attack the Blood-colored monster in the Blood Pool.

Whether the opponent was human or not was no longer important; killing it first was the priority.

As Liang Yu’s attack command was given, the Sixteen Type beside him instantly sprang into action.

They moved in perfect unison, their eyes gleaming with cold and resolute light, aiming their attacks at the Blood-colored monster.

Streams of brilliant and powerful energy beams shot out from the Sixteen Type, tearing through the dim space like agile lightning bolts, swiftly rushing towards the target.

The Blood-colored monster felt a strong threat and let out a deafening roar.

Its huge body swayed slightly, with no intention of dodging the dense attacks. It conjured a blood curtain in front of itself with its hand in the Blood Pool.

The energy beams from the Sixteen Type bloomed with dazzling light on the blood curtain it created, causing a ripple in the blood curtain but failing to penetrate it.

Within the blood curtain, the outline of the Blood-colored monster was faintly visible. It still had most of its body submerged in the Blood Pool, showing no intention of coming out.

The Sixteen Type did not retreat, continuing to stably output attacks. Each energy beam accurately targeted the monster’s vital points, but these scattered attacks were all blocked by the blood curtain.

Liang Yu was puzzled. Was the Sixteen Type already obsolete?

Now, let alone breaking through its defense, they couldn’t even hit the opponent.

Liang Yu didn’t waste any more time. He raised his hand and recalled all the Sixteen Type, as any more attacks would be useless.

After recalling the Sixteen Type, a sword appeared in his right hand. The sword body was entirely crimson, seemingly wreathed in fierce flames.

In the game, this sword was designed to be forged by the Qionghua Sword Forging Elder lineage over three generations, gathering rare treasures of heaven and earth, their life’s work, and countless hours. It was named Xi He.

Liang Yu held the Xi He sword and felt an unusual sensation, one he hadn’t experienced when holding Wang Shu.

However, he didn’t pay attention to it at the moment, as it caused no harm to his body. Such matters would naturally be investigated later.

He continuously swung the sword, unleashing several red sword qi. These sword qi landed on the blood curtain, each red sword qi that struck.

The color of the blood curtain blocking the sword qi faded by three parts. Before all the sword qi had landed, the blood curtain protecting it had already dissipated.

The Blood-colored monster seemed to have reached a critical moment, as it appeared to give up resistance against the remaining sword qi striking it.

However, just as the sword qi was about to land on its body, all the vines around the Blood Pool erupted into a frenzy.

One vine after another blocked its front, protecting the Blood-colored monster.

Although the sword qi could break through the vines, it would also be consumed.

As layer after layer of vines were broken through, the sword qi was also depleted.

Seeing this, Liang Yu frowned, gripping the Xi He sword in his hand tighter.

He once again began the motion of charging up for a sword draw.

There was no other way; so far, he only knew this one move, but Liang Yu believed that this move should be enough now.

The charging Liang Yu caused the Blood-colored monster to feel a fatal threat, but it still didn’t move. Instead, its entire body sank deeper, with only the part above its shoulders now exposed.

The vines by the Blood Pool, however, surged madly towards Liang Yu.

But when these vines stabbed towards Liang Yu, a layer of protection appeared around his body. As soon as the vines approached within a meter, they were incinerated.

Despite this, the vines continued to furiously attack Liang Yu, trying to interrupt his charging.

However, such attacks had no effect at all. The vines were inherently afraid of fire, and they were incinerated upon nearing him. Slowly, a pile of black ash accumulated in front of Liang Yu.

At the same time, he also opened his eyes, unleashing a charged sword strike at the Blood-colored monster, and then, using all his strength, he continuously unleashed several more sword strikes.

This charged sword strike carried an unstoppable momentum, with sword qi spreading in all directions.

The blood-colored vines were utterly unable to resist this fierce sword qi. The vines broke apart under the impact of the sword qi, transforming into plumes of blood mist that dissipated in the air. The sword qi passed through the vines unimpeded, heavily striking the Blood-colored monster.

Accompanied by a shrill scream, the Blood-colored monster was precisely cut in half by the sword qi. The sword qi fell into the Blood Pool, slowly being devoured by it.

After devouring the sword qi, the Blood Pool also began to boil.

The subsequent several sword qi strikes landed on the Blood-colored monster, which was now in two halves. Liang Yu judged that the opponent had been cut into several pieces and had sunk into the Blood Pool.

It was at this moment that he couldn’t hold on any longer. He released the Xi He sword in his hand, letting it drop downwards. As it fell, he recalled the sword.

He looked at his right hand; it could no longer be considered a simple burn. One could say it was cooked. He could only apply a medical pack to himself, and the tissue on his palm repaired itself at a visible speed.

After treating his injuries, Liang Yu looked down at the Blood Pool. He had thought the Blood-colored monster had been slain by him, but then he discovered a hand reaching out from the Blood Pool, followed by several vines extending into the Blood Pool, pulling it out.

Upon seeing the opponent emerge completely unharmed, Liang Yu immediately chose to flash away, returning to the entrance of the Mountain Cave.

There was no point in fighting it to the death here. Even if he used Xi He to kill it again, the opponent could still revive. Since that was the case, there was no need for him to bother.

Besides, being burned by Xi He was not that fun.

Although the physical injuries were completely healed by the medical pack, he wondered if it was psychological, but he still felt a burning sensation on his right hand.
