As the sword struck down, if this were in a past life’s ga, it would surely explode with a flurry of colorful numbers symbolizing different attribute damage.
In reality, however, it was the molten blade slicing swiftly through the Shark Beast’s skin, fat, and muscle, landing heavily on its arm bones.
Retreating in an instant.
The residual fire swirling on the surface of the Straight Sword allowed it to withdraw smoothly, with no resistance, pulled cleanly from the enemy’s flesh.
The fierce gale released with the [Teeth Hunting] carried a trace of residual fire, transforming into a scorching blaze, scraping over the Shark Beast’s massive body like blades, instantly drying the viscous water liquid covering its skin surface.
Utilizing the recoil from collision with the Shark Beast to once again perform [Teeth Hunting] for retreat.
The bone-white surface of the leg armor glowed with fla light.
Landing lightly.
With his right hand holding the sword, Xia Nan used his left hand to casually tear off the plate chain composite armor from his twisted, shapeless chest, which had lost its defensive effect due to the molten residual fire, letting it fall at his feet, revealing the thin dark lining inside.
The tal chain of the [Tear of Spring Breath] necklace was likewise tinged with fire light, its end dropping deep into the collar; the corner of the clothing seed ignited by flas, scattering ashes as it swayed in the airflow.
Breathing out faintly, sparks floated with his breath, and his jet-black eyes, wreathed with a fla glow, stared at the remnants of the Shark Beast’s body ahead, howling in pain under the residual fire’s burn.
There was no expression on Xia Nan’s face, only the somber and mournful scarlet fla burning ethereally on his body’s surface.
The duration of [Embers Resonance] was only a minute, and the Shark Beast, having already revealed all its cards after the group’s previous assault, had fallen into a state of serious injury.
He didn’t need to study any more combat strategy nor did he need to consider integrating into the teammates’ rhythm.
What Xia Nan needed to do...
was just to swing the sword.
"Chiiii—"
The long wolf howl echoed once again.
The mane shrouded in mournful scarlet flas shook violently, the long-limbed Black Wolf stepping on sparks, leaping high into the air, with sharp fiery teeth converged with reddish-brown light suddenly descending.
Having lost a right arm, and its whole body covered with wounds, the Shark Beast, already cumberso due to muscles, was not adept at dodging, faced with such a strike filled with dangerous aura could only use attack as a defense.
Roaring fiercely, it swung its remaining left arm, its fist aiming straight at the sword.
And just as the fist bone and sword tip were about to et.
Xia Nan’s wrist, holding the sword hilt, suddenly twisted, turning "stab" into "slap."
The sword blade lifted, gently striking the back of the Shark Beast’s hand.
Boom—
[Gravity Etching] burst forth, force field energy transford into reddish-brown small fireworks, engulfing the Shark Beast’s fist.
It was just a feint!
Xia Nan’s movents didn’t pause, utilizing the impact from the force field energy burst, combined with invisible gravity, his body surrounded by fire rose up another notch.
A flip through the air, his boot landed lightly, stepping onto the arm swung by the Shark Beast.
Gathering strength...[Vortex Slash]!
His waist and abdon suddenly exerted force, rotating his entire body a hundred and eighty degrees.
The molten sword blade imdiately embedded into the bloody hole in the Shark Beast’s neck under the effect of the battle skill, making Xia Nan’s entire body seem like it was hanging on the Shark Beast with the sword blade.
[Gravity Control] silently took effect, exerting maximized force.
The instantaneous gravity applied to his body, coupled with the body’s inertia from using [Vortex Slash], caused even the Shark Beast’s enormous and hefty form to incline towards the direction of Xia Nan’s exertion.
It couldn’t possibly allow Xia Nan’s actions; instinctively, it wanted to straighten its body.
Thus, the blade inserted in the neck went downward while the Shark Beast strained to lift its neck upward.
Both sides exerting force simultaneously.
"Squeal."
The sound of flesh tearing echoed through the air.
Blood gushed, splattering all over.
Xia Nan just felt his previously jamd Straight Sword suddenly release.
Suspended on the Shark Beast’s body, his body lost support and landed on both feet.
In front of him, lay the massive severed Shark head.
