HPDBC Chapter 137 Proving Strength
Chapter 137 Proving Strength
Song Chen raised the knife above his head, gripped the handle with both hands, and pointed the blade downwards.
He did not use the Thunderous Annihilation Blade, as the lightning would have exposed him, nor did he use the Nine Heavens Thunderclap.
It only used the power generation method of a master-level swordsmanship and the purest sword intent.
All the power was compressed inside the blade, resulting in an extremely sharp physical strike.
The luminescent organ lit up once again, then went out.
The moment the flame went out, Song Chen's knife fell.
The blade cut into the center of the bag.
At its last moment, the abyssal siren sensed the change in the water flow. Its tentacles suddenly contracted, the blood vessels on the surface of its sac lit up, and its luminous organs simultaneously emitted a blinding white light. It was its defensive instinct, a final burst of mental power as it faced death.
But it was too late.
The Heavenly Blade had already sliced through its body.
Cutting into the top of the cyst and running down along the spine, the entire cyst was split in two.
Dark red psionic liquid gushed from the cut, exploding into a cloud of blood mist in the deep sea.
The luminous organs on the tentacles flickered wildly a few times, then went out simultaneously, like a string of lanterns with their wires cut.
[A fourth-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining 4421 kill points.]
A system notification sounded in my mind.
Song Chen didn't look. His sword stayed inside the abyssal sea monster for less than half a second before he pulled it out and sheathed it.
The entire process, from his entry into the water to the killing, took no more than three minutes.
There was no movement on the water, and the only sound from the waves was the crashing of the rocks.
In the distance, several Tier 2 Ironclad Sharks swam by as usual, completely unaware of what was happening in the area; they didn't even glance in this direction.
Song Chen surfaced, seawater sliding down his face. He shook his hair and walked onto the rocks.
Lin Zhao stood up from behind the reef, her eyes wide open.
"That...resolved?"
"Let's move on to the next one."
Lin Zhao didn't ask him how he did it, she just nodded, then turned around and walked to the east.
We soon arrived at the east side, where the reefs were denser than those on the north side.
The reefs jut out from the sea like a stone forest, where the second direct descendant of the abyssal siren resides.
It is slightly smaller than the first one, about twelve meters long, but has more tentacles, at least twelve.
The light-emitting organs on the tentacles are also more densely packed, resembling strings of tiny blue lights in the night.
It was not asleep. It was awake.
Song Chen lay prone in the gap between two rocks, only her eyes showing.
The Mystic Vision amplifies every single movement of its.
The abyssal sea monster is hunting, its tentacles reaching into the crevices of the reef to pull out small sea creatures hidden inside and put them into its mouthparts at the bottom of its body.
Each time it hunts, its light-emitting organ will flash briefly before quickly resuming its normal flashing rhythm.
It's easier to kill someone who's awake than someone who's asleep.
Because when it's awake, its attention is on its prey.
Song Chen slid into the water through a crevice in the reef.
This time, instead of approaching it from the front, he took a long detour and approached it from behind.
The abyssal siren's perception range is a sphere centered on its glowing organ. Its perception is most sensitive to the front, followed by the sides, and weakest to the back.
This is a common problem for mollusks; their eyes are located on the front, and their light-emitting organs are also concentrated on the front, so their perception from the back depends almost entirely on the vibrations of the water flow.
Song Chen's movement in the water will not cause any tremors.
The master-level Gale Wings gave him an unbelievable level of control over water. When he swam, the water around his body was not pushed away, but instead guided to flow along the curves of his body, like a flowing coat.
He approached from behind to within five meters, and the abyssal siren was completely unaware.
Its tentacles were still scooping for prey in the crevices of the reef, and its bioluminescent organs flashed on and off in rhythm with its hunting.
Song Chen makes his move.
In the same way, grip the handle with both hands, with the blade tip pointing forward.
The knife tip pierced the bag from the back.
The abyssal siren's body suddenly stiffened, and all twelve tentacles exploded at the same time, like a flower blooming in an instant.
The luminous organs flashed wildly, illuminating the entire reef area as if it were daytime.
Song Chen didn't give it a chance; after the blade pierced in, he flicked it upwards.
The blade sliced through the cyst's nerve center from the inside.
The abyssal siren's body twitched one last time, then all its tentacles simultaneously lost their strength and drooped limply into the water. Its glowing organs went out one by one, like lamps being blown out.
[A fourth-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining 3156 kill points.]
Song Chen drew his sword, glanced at the system notification, and closed the panel.
"Let's move on to the next one."
Lin Zhao stood on the reef, looking down at him. This time she saw clearly that the abyssal sea monster that terrified her was dead.
"you……"
She held back what she wanted to say.
The third head is on the west side.
The western side is not a group of reefs, but a deep-sea cliff.
The seabed on the west side of the island suddenly breaks off here, forming a cliff with a drop of more than 200 meters.
The cliff face is covered with caves of all sizes, and the third direct descendant of the abyssal siren resides in one of the largest caves.
Song Chen hovered on the edge of the cliff, activating his Mystic Eyes of Illusion.
This one is larger than the previous two combined, with a body length of over twenty meters. The surface of the cyst not only has vascular patterns, but is also covered with a thin layer of bony plates.
It has sixteen tentacles, each with two rows of barbed horny teeth at the end.
Its light-emitting organs are not flickering, but constantly lit, with a deep blue light continuously emanating from the ends of its sixteen tentacles, forming a band of light along the edge of the cliff.
Moreover, it neither sleeps nor hunts.
It was awake, hovering at the cave entrance, with sixteen tentacles swaying slowly around its body like a half-open net.
Song Chen looked at it for a minute, and then made a judgment.
You can't steal it.
The reason you can steal from the first two ends is because they have weaknesses.
The first one is asleep, and the second one is hunting; both are lacking focus.
There were no gaps at this end; it was awake, focused, and its tentacle-covered defensive network had no blind spots.
Approaching from any direction will result in being detected.
Since we can't steal it, then we won't steal it.
Song Chen drew the Tianjun Blade from its sheath, and this time he did not hold back.
Since we can't steal it, let's just fight it head-on, kill it and leave. As long as we're fast, I don't believe it will be able to send a message back.
As he released his aura, the abyssal siren sensed him.
Its sixteen tentacles turned simultaneously, and all its luminous organs aligned themselves with Song Chen's direction.
A beam of deep blue light converged and shone on him, causing the sac to swell slightly before emitting a low, spiritual hiss.
The sound traveled through the deep sea; it was a warning.
Song Chen made a move.
The wings of the gale unfolded in the water, this time with an explosive burst.
The cyan wind wings expanded to their limit behind him, instantly pushing his speed to the extreme.
He created a white cavity in the water and shot towards the abyss siren like a torpedo.
The siren's sixteen tentacles shot out simultaneously from sixteen directions, blocking all his possible escape routes.
The barbs at the ends of the tentacles spread out in the water, like sixteen serrated spears.
Song Chen's figure weaved through the tentacles. With the aid of a master-level movement technique, the water flow brought up by the tentacles' thrusts was not an obstacle, but a springboard for him.
Using the edge of the water flow created by the first tentacle, the body deflected and passed through the gap between the second and third tentacles.
The fourth tentacle pierced through his head, and he barely touched the side of it with his toes, spinning sideways to avoid the encirclement of the fifth, sixth, and seventh tentacles...
In an instant, all sixteen tentacles missed their mark.
