Thank you to the brothers and sisters who supported Old Phantom these past few days. The 7th is the date. If nothing unexpected happens, we will explode once. If there are issues, we will postpone for a day~~
Xia Bai was entangled with the Night Butcher, who had powerful and sticky tentacles.
With a swing of the sadness ink pattern scythe, those tentacles were directly severed.
The Night Butcher let out its largest roar since the beginning, and its face, which originally had a hint of humor, twisted in pain. Its two ear-like appendages stood upright, trembling violently, clearly in immense agony.
Indeed, its body was protected by a gelatinous substance, but the tentacles were not very thick and could not withstand the sharpness of the sadness ink pattern scythe.
The blade, which was originally aimed at Xia Bai's head, slightly diverted and struck the sadness ink pattern scythe instead, preventing it from completing a full rotation that would have cut all the tentacles.
However, this was enough to free Xia Bai's hands, allowing her to grip the sadness ink pattern scythe once again.
Some black beetles had clustered above the Night Butcher's head and, at that moment, exploded into a fine powder that fell onto its body.
This was the true power of the dark cataclysm, which could amplify minor injuries dramatically.
During her five-star evolution, Xia Bai's soul reaper ability could enlarge Young Master's bruised leg injury to the point where he could barely move. Now that Xia Bai had become a seven-star evolver, even if her professional ability hadn’t individually improved, there was a significant increase in strength, thus amplifying the effects of the dark cataclysm.
Now, the Night Butcher didn't know how many tentacles had been severed. Perhaps it wouldn’t greatly affect its combat power, and after the pain subsided, the tentacles would regrow when it used its abilities again, but for now, it was still injured.
As the powder settled, the injuries were amplified many times over.
Xia Bai could now precisely control the range of the dark cataclysm, which meant the Night Butcher was in deep trouble.
Already in agony, the pain suddenly escalated, magnifying beyond measure. Even a six-star evolved life form would be overwhelmed by such intense, sudden pain.
The Night Butcher couldn’t care less about attacking Xia Bai; it could only release the intact tentacles and retreat clumsily, its body convulsing violently. From the wounds of the tentacles, a translucent light pink liquid oozed out.
That should be its blood or bodily fluid.
The Night Butcher was indeed a terrifying existence. Even in the midst of pain that nearly caused it to faint, its combat instincts made the best choices. It realized that its opponent was stuck to the ground by its offspring's attacks and only needed to retreat from Xia Bai's range until the pain subsided. After that, victory would still belong to it.
Unfortunately, it underestimated its opponent; Xia Bai was ruthless beyond words.
This woman directly used the sharp end of the sadness ink pattern scythe to cut through the flesh at her feet!
Since she was stuck, the only way to free herself was to cut through the flesh that bound her.
Without hesitation, Xia Bai did just that.
Once she broke free, leaping up with portions of flesh still attached, she swung the sadness ink pattern scythe while the Night Butcher was still in extreme pain.
It sensed something was wrong, but its vision was blurred by pain. By the time it focused on the attack, the scythe was already there.
Thud!
Instinctively raising its arm holding the kitchen knife to block, it was severed cleanly.
A small cluster of dark cataclysm beetles exploded with that strike.
Ah!
The Night Butcher’s body went from shaking to convulsing.
The reaper's scythe rose again, this time severing another arm that tried to block.
The dark cataclysm erupted once more, spewing powder.
The Night Butcher realized death was approaching; it desperately activated its abilities, its tail ejecting jets to change position. The portions of flesh stuck to Xia Bai transformed into flesh flowers, hoping to slow her down even for a moment, while its body’s tentacles began to grow back erratically…
