“Sizzle—”
The high-frequency sound made Xia Xiao look up, and saw a red-headed centipede crawling out from the cockscomb-haired man. The centipede appeared in the air with a body more than 30 meters long, wrapped in thick, indestructible rock armor, and its fangs and claws were even more ferocious. It had hooked centipedes, as if to show its deterrent power, but tangible things were not worth fearing.
The more he saw, the more Xia Xiao realized that darkness or desolation was the most terrifying. The unknown dark land and the unknown pits under the desolate grassland were much more intimidating than this centipede. Therefore, when the cockscomb thought he had taken sufficient countermeasures, Xia Xiao dived down without even showing his contracted beast.
“It’s really rampant.”
The cockscomb-headed man mocked himself, stretched his hands out of the ground, and pulled out a very long mudstone sword. He lifted it up with his knees, and then swung it towards Xia Xiao.
Holding the broadsword tightly, Xia Xiao seemed to collide with it, but suddenly passed through it. The broadsword brought with it the wind, breaking the mudstone and the broadsword into pieces and scattering them all over the ground. At the same time, Xia Xiao, who threw the fallen mudstones behind him, formed seals with his hands, and the cockscomb head realized something was wrong. In the cracks of the rocks on his body, the very little soil gave birth to countless wood vines. These things that kept entangled him were going to strangle him to death.
Seeing the vines grow wildly in an instant and tie up the cockscomb, Xia Xiao felt relieved that everything was under control. Compared with the cockscomb that wrapped itself in stones, this red-headed centipede was easier to attack. This was Xia Xiao's first reaction when he saw it. As long as he injured the centipede first, the cockscomb's defense would not be so strong.
As a warrior who is good at attacking, Xia Xiao had to admit that the cockscomb head's defense was very good, even impeccable. Although it was inconvenient to attack, Xia Xiao never liked to waste time. He liked to knock down his opponent in the shortest time and with the fastest means, and it was the same now!
Seeing Xia Xiao coming towards him, the red-headed centipede wanted to attack first, but then leaned towards the cockscomb, trying to untie the vines on its body. This entanglement gave Xia Xiao an opportunity. He flapped his wings, grasped the machete in his hand, and cut off the three legs of the centipede in the blink of an eye.
The limbs fell, breaking the rock armor on the ground. Then, the centipede's calls became more frequent. The armor on its back broke and shot towards Xia Xiao, like a continuation of the previous rain of arrows. These rocks contained mud and sand, and even though Xia Xiao was careful enough, he was still stabbed in the abdomen by a piece of broken stone.
He covered it with one hand, and the wood energy immediately began to stop the bleeding and heal the wound. Xia Xiao frowned and swept across, breaking all the rubble. But the sun was hidden, and the centipede fell with its long whisker tail, knocking it to the ground.
"Come on, boss!"
The bandits stood on a higher ground, watching the battle here, raising their arms excitedly. Xia Xiao was a little surprised before, they rarely saw a cultivator stronger than the boss, although there was one time, but the boss chose to escape, so there was no chance to fight. But now it seems that the cultivator should be as strong as Xia Xiao, but even so, the boss will not be crushed.
The horse thief was worried all the time. Ah Zhu heard some of it from a distance and called out Xia Xiao's name. Her voice was too soft to be heard, but she wanted to prove that Xia Xiao also had people supporting him and he couldn't be worse than the horse thief!
The battle scenes were somewhat bloody, especially the scene where Xia Xiao fought earlier. Ah Zhu was always afraid that the horse thief's sword would fall on Xia Xiao, but he rode the wind and showed a bravery that Ah Zhu admired.
With his hands clasped together, Ah Zhu prayed that Xia Xiao would stand up quickly. The next moment, the sound of trees growing was no longer low-key, but in this late winter, it resounded clearly on the grassland.
The centipede's tail was slightly raised, and there was a big tree with lush leaves underneath to support it. But the centipede, which was immersed in the vines outside the cockscomb head, did not frighten, but just followed his will, using his energy to penetrate the centipede's tail, making it suppress Xia Xiao and continue to sink. The earth element's energy was the heaviest, and when it pressed down, Xia Xiao stared, and it was difficult to dodge directly.
He formed a seal, and his fingers began to change. The energy in his body switched on and off in a controlled manner. On the land at his feet, a tree stump suddenly pushed out. The grassland was broken, weeds spread everywhere, and the soil fell on Xia Xiao's head. Three big trees were about to bend and split, but there were ten tree stumps in different positions to share their weight.
The centipede's mouth was hooked like a knife, and the vines that could be torn apart would grow again. The cockscomb, which was like a stone ball before, had now been tangled into a solid Cuju ball. The centipede had no mind and did exactly what the cockscomb said, tearing it open quickly to allow the earthy yellow energy to rush out.
The Earth Element is not as fast as the Fire Element, and its explosion speed is not as fast, and its power is not as strong, so it can only release its vitality outside the wooden vine ball and then forcibly pry it apart.
The cockscomb head walked out of the mud and sand, his face, hair, and clothes were all covered with sand. The soil from the cracks in the rocks that he had wrapped around his body had been absorbed by the vines, leaving him in this horrible state. Spitting out a mouthful of sand, the cockscomb head cursed:
"Damn it, castrate him tonight!"
"He looks ugly, but he has beautiful thoughts."
The cockscomb was surprised. He didn't expect Xia Xiao to jump down from the sky. But now, he should be under the tail of the red-headed centipede. But when the latter tried to move, he failed for a long time.
Xia Xiao smiled when he saw this, and dropped the broadsword in his hand, splitting the ground. But the cockscomb jumped onto the centipede's back, provoking it, and mocked it:
"With that much ability, go back and piss yourself and cook virgin eggs!"
The centipede struggled violently, rolling on the ground. But the vines on its tail, which were made of three large trees and ten wooden stakes, tied it tightly and it couldn't break free in a short time. Cockscomb ran over its back, trying to resolve this embarrassment. If this continued, his contracted beast that couldn't take back the contract space would not only be useless, but would also waste his vitality in vain.
Xia Xiao flew over from behind, stirring up a gust of wind, but the centipede froze in place. If it moved now, the one who would suffer would be the cockscomb!
Closing his eyes, the cockscomb-headed man, like surfing on a curve, sensed Xia Xiao's aura, ready to turn around and punch him at the critical moment, to catch him off guard. But Xia Xiao's aura was not sensed at all, and was even smaller than grass and dust!
“Damn it!”
He looked back and saw Xia Xiao was almost there. The rocks under Jiguantou's feet moved and he quickly crashed into the vines.
The fingers were held vertically, and the vital energy on them turned into a blade, cutting it fiercely.
The taut vines broke apart, and were about to grow and connect, but were torn apart by the tumbling centipede. It seemed to have been sleeping for a long time, and now it woke up, more ferocious than before.
The red-headed centipede tried to wrap around Xia Xiao and shred him into pieces. But Xia Xiao's figure was too ghostly, and he rolled the falling dust into a vortex, easily resolving its difficulties. The cockscomb stood on the rock with both feet, as if fixed in place, observing Xia Xiao's flaws. When the centipede moved like this, he couldn't move either, and could only make sure not to fall.
“Found it!”
Although Xia Xiao was not affected by the provocation, he used his energy very well. Wood energy can control plant growth and can also use wind, but he lost his wings and fell to the ground, so he lost his advantage. Therefore, he had to attack the pair of wings that looked like narrow leaves first.
He inserted his hands into the rock, and the hard stone turned into rippling water under his palms. But when he took his hands out of the stone, he held two slender and sharp stone spears in his hands.
Steadying his legs, Cockscomb Toad threw the spear. His arms were muscular, and in the instant they expanded, the stone spear flew out, creating a gust of air.
Xia Xiao dodged continuously, but when he tried to block the stone spear, the red-headed centipede behind him had already opened its mouth wide, ready to use poison to deal with him!
"Die."
The cockscomb-haired man grinned, looking extremely evil.
