Zuan knew that prolonged defense would inevitably lead to defeat, and this was not a solution. However, he kept accumulating strength, and at most he could only barely control the other party's mouth. It was impossible for him to pry open this heavy body.

A flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes, and he deliberately stopped dodging, letting the other's tail pierce his shoulder.

Blood splattered in an instant, but a red glint flashed in Zuan's eyes. He clearly intended to worsen his injuries to trigger the berserk effect of the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra.

He already had a lot of injuries, and now with this terrible wound, he felt like his body was filled with explosive power.

He bent his leg and pressed it against the opponent's stomach. When the opponent raised its tail again to try to end his life, he kicked it away.

With a loud bang, Taotie crashed backward into a pile of bones, crushing them into pieces. The strange snakes hiding inside scattered and tried to escape, but Taotie grabbed several of them with its claws and stuffed them into its mouth to chew.

Its two eyes on its shoulders stared at the guy opposite it with suspicion, wondering why the other guy had suddenly become so strong.

Zaun had already taken the opportunity to run to the Tai'a sword and pull the weapon out of the ground again, while staring intently at its claws, which were like human hands but had tiger claws.

This guy just picked up the strange snake and put it in his mouth, almost like a human eating. The fact that he can use his claws so skillfully is really not good news.

Taotie was only briefly confused; its gluttonous instincts quickly made it whimper and pounce on Zu'an.

This time, Zuan was prepared for its speed, and coupled with the berserk state of the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra, he directly used "Sunflower Illusion" to flash to its side, and then swung his sword to stab at its head.

At this moment, Taotie clearly sensed the danger, and with a flick of its long tail, it stabbed directly at him.

After weighing the length of the Tai'a sword against his own tail, Zuan realized that trading injury for injury was still too much of a loss.

So he abandoned the idea of ​​stabbing the opponent in the head with his sword and instead swung it to the side. The Tai'a sword was already incredibly sharp, and it sliced ​​off half of its tail with one strike. The bluish-gray liquid from the severed tail sprayed everywhere, landing on the surrounding bones and corroding them, creating large holes.

"Waaah!" Taotie cried out in pain, clearly the loss of its tail was quite painful for it.

Zuan was completely bewildered. He slammed his left hand into the whiny creature's head and yelled, "I'll take down a whiny whiner with one punch each!"

The Taotie was knocked back by his punch and finally crashed into the wall. It shook its head and got up, clearly feeling dizzy from the blow.

Zuan couldn't help but shake his hand; the recoil from that punch made his hand ache. He secretly regretted not hitting its waist instead.

Worried that Pei Mianman wouldn't be able to hold out for long, he hurriedly brandished his Tai'a sword and attacked while she was dazed.

Suddenly, a cunning glint appeared in Taotie's eyes, and a burst of purple lightning flashed from the two ram horns on its head. Then, a ball of lightning gathered in the middle of the horns and flew directly towards Zu'an.

The whole process sounds slow, but from the lightning swirling around the ram's horn to forming a ball of lightning that then shoots out, the entire process is almost instantaneous.

Zaun couldn't summon a gale to teleport, so he didn't have time to dodge. The lightning ball exploded in front of his chest, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest, followed by a burnt smell.

But these weren't the most terrifying things. The most terrifying thing was that he found himself completely paralyzed and unable to move an inch for a short period of time.

This is clearly the paralyzing effect of lightning!

Zuan was shocked. He knew all too well what it meant to be unable to act at such a critical moment, but unfortunately, he had no way to change anything.

At that moment, the gluttonous beast opened its huge mouth, and its long tongue shot straight towards his brow, clearly intending to completely shatter his head.

As he watched the tongue grow larger and larger in front of him, Zuan felt a chill run down his spine; he knew he was on the verge of death.

Unfortunately, the opponent's tongue shot out too fast, and he was currently paralyzed and unable to move, so he was unable to make an effective reaction.

However, the expected headshot did not occur; the tongue stopped an inch in front of Zaun's forehead.

Not only was Zu'an stunned, but even Taotie was stunned. It subconsciously pulled its tongue back a bit and then flicked it out again, but unfortunately it was still an inch short.

Zuan finally realized that the other party's tongue had just pierced Pei Mianman's shoulder and been cut off. This Taotie was used to the length of its tongue when hunting, so it instinctively thought that the distance was enough to pierce through the enemy's head, but forgot that a part of its tongue was missing.

How could Zuan let such a good opportunity pass by? Taking advantage of the opponent's momentary daze, he directly summoned Baiming and launched a soul attack on it.

Because of his cultivation level, Baiming is now more skilled at defense than attack, but that only applies to some high-level cultivators. Although this Taotie is very cunning, it is still a monster after all, and it can't even speak yet. Obviously, it has not formed true intelligence, so its spiritual attributes are relatively weak.

As expected, as Bai Ming let out a scream, an invisible sound wave spread out, and Taotie's whole body trembled, a look of confusion appeared in its eyes, and even its previously straight tongue drooped down.

As Zuan had just faced death, his blood seemed to be burning. The paralysis gradually subsided, and he had barely regained his mobility. He dared not delay and immediately grabbed the Tai'a sword and rushed to Taotie's side.
