This was the change brought about by Zhang Heng's swordsmanship reaching Lv 4.
Lv 4 skills were almost the limit that humans could achieve. It wasn't just about skills, but it also included the integration and use of strength and spirit.
The battle with Okita Soki pushed Zhang Heng to an unprecedented level.
His understanding of swordsmanship, the integration of his body and spirit, had entered a whole new world. This was why Zhang Heng could control his muscles so perfectly.
Although Jormungandr's movements were fast, it was still impossible for it to block Zhang Heng's movement route. Not only that, but it also revealed a flaw in its movements because it pounced too hard.
Zhang Heng, who had been waiting for a long time, naturally would not let go of such a flaw. Not only did he avoid the snake head that fell from the sky, but he also used the remaining time to successfully circle to Jormungandr's left cheek.
At this time, Jormungandr had just hit its head on the ground, causing a huge airflow and blowing a rain of petals.
The Shrouded Sheath in Zhang Heng's hand showed its fangs in this rain of petals, and without hesitation, it slashed at Jormungandr's cheek!
However, the Shrouded Scabbard that could cut through cement and steel bars finally met its match this time. The hardness of the black scales exceeded Zhang Heng's expectations. He tried his best to slash the scales, but he failed to cut them apart. All he managed to do was leave a mark that was half a finger deep on the scales.
However, this slash completely ignited Jormungandr's anger. It didn't think that it would actually be slashed by a mortal. Although it wasn't injured, the cut on its scales would always be with it until its next skin molting period. It was a humiliation.
At this time, Jormungandr could no longer care about the flowers in the garden. Its tail swept directly at Zhang Heng, leaving a mess in its wake. It even hit the red mud wall at the edge of the maze, destroying it completely.
However, when its tail swept Zhang Heng's position, the latter had already left. Before he left, Zhang Heng gave it a second slash. This time, the slash landed directly on its neck, leaving a second scar. It also drove Jörmungandr into berserk mode.
Its body began to shake wildly, and the entire island shook along with it. The garden in the center became a disaster area. Trees were uprooted, and flowers and plants were crushed into the soil. Jormungandr unleashed its destructive power to its heart's content. However, in this doomsday scene, a figure was like a small boat in the raging sea, floating up and down with the waves. It was never swallowed by the storm, and whenever it found a chance, it would leave a cut on the black python's body.
As time went by, Jormungandr became more and more irritated. It did not expect the battle to progress like this. Obviously, its opponent was just a fragile human with almost no means to threaten it. However, there was nothing it could do to him. It had the divine power that it was proud of, but it could not hit its target at all.
When Jormungandr reacted, it found that the scale on the left side of its face was almost cut by Zhang Heng bit by bit. It did not even remember when it happened.
Zhang Heng was very particular about the place he chose to attack. He didn't attack Jörmungandr's scales as soon as he came up. As long as the black giant python wasn't too stupid, it would definitely be able to detect his intentions. On the contrary, Zhang Heng had been consciously scattering his attacks to create an illusion for Jörmungandr.
That was, none of his attacks were targeted or purposeful. He just counterattacked when he saw an opportunity while dodging. In fact, during these scattered attacks, Zhang Heng had never given up on cutting the scale on the left side of Jormungandr's face.
So far, he had slashed it seven times, and his hard work paid off. He was finally about to cut the scale completely. By then, the skin underneath would be exposed, and Jormungandr probably did not know what it meant.
Zhang Heng was about to make the last cut during the next move, but at this moment, the originally violent black python suddenly quieted down. Its body stopped rolling and twisting, and a red mist suddenly floated around Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng had seen the tragic state of the sperm whale on the platform on the second floor. Naturally, he was particularly wary of poisonous mist.
In the last Twilight of the Gods in Norse mythology, Thor and Jormungandr fought. In the end, Thor died in Jormungandr's poisonous mist. Therefore, Zhang Heng had already put together a gas mask with Lego bricks. Now that the Infinite Building Block's cooldown was up, the drone in the travel bag had turned back into Lego bricks. So, Zhang Heng immediately pulled out the Infinite Building Block and inserted it into the gas mask that he had put together on the other side.
At this time, Jormungandr was still trying hard to spit out poisonous mist. It was obvious that it did not really want to use this trick. Initially, it thought that it could easily deal with the threat in front of it with its huge body. However, Zhang Heng's swordsmanship made it feel a sense of danger that it hadn't felt for a long time.
So the black python was forced to use its trump card at this time. In its eyes, Zhang Heng was going to die this time. Unlike the previous swings of its tail, there was no way to avoid this poisonous mist. Even if Zhang Heng managed to put some distance between them before the poisonous mist spread, he would have to step into the poisonous mist again if he wanted to attack it.
However, Jormungandr's expression became a little sluggish after spitting out the poisonous mist. Compared to the last time when it was still alive and kicking after jumping up and down for a quarter of an hour, this time, a small amount of poisonous mist made its eyes dim. Fortunately, all of this was valuable. At least after the poisonous mist appeared, it was now in an invincible position.
After doing all this, Jormungandr was about to close its mouth, but it suddenly felt a slight pain in its upper jaw.
An arrow the size of a toothpick flew into its mouth when it opened its mouth to spit out the poisonous mist. That was one of the few places on its body that was not protected by scales.
However, that was just an ordinary arrow. Apart from making the black python feel offended, it couldn't really cause any harm. At least, that was what the black python thought. Considering that its scales were already full of cuts, the black python wasn't as angry as before.
On the contrary, after being shot, Jormungandr was delighted because it meant that Zhang Heng was still in its poisonous mist. In that case, Zhang Heng should have been poisoned, and it would not take long for him to lose all his combat power.
