The Kaiserpede had a strong defense and the only vulnerable part of its body was its joints. However, the Kaiserpede had more than 300 joints and they looked exactly the same. Coupled with its terrifying speed, it was difficult to lock on to a single joint.
However, Bloody's reminder gave Lin Huang an idea. Since the Kaiserpede was fast, he would be faster than it! If he could not identify the joints, he would attack the first joint at the back of its head!
With this new idea, Lin Huang immediately gave up on his plan to attack the Kaiserpede. Although Lin Huang could still kill the monster with his current abilities, it would take more effort to do so.
"Warm up time is over. I'm going to get serious now." Lin Huang grinned and the white Life Power that was surrounding the sword in his hand turned into lightning. In less than a second, the black battle sword had turned into a white lightning sword. Even the blade was a few centimeters longer than before.
"That was just a warm-up?!" Yi Zheng and the rest were shocked.
"Lightning attribute power?" Yi Zheng was confused as he saw what Lin Huang was doing. He did not know what Lin Huang was trying to do.
"I don't feel any Elemental Enlightenment …" Leng Yuexin frowned. Elemental power without Enlightenment would not work on the Kaiserpede unless it was of a high level. However, the lightning that was surrounding the blade of Lin Huang's sword seemed to be a normal lightning that was transformed from his Life Power.
The Kaiserpede was cautious when it saw the transformation of Lin Huang's sword. However, it laughed in disdain when it realized that it was just a normal lightning that was transformed from his Life Power. "I thought you were going to use some powerful skill when you said you were going to get serious. Even if I lie here and let you attack me for a day, you won't be able to hurt me!"
"Is that so?" Lin Huang did not refute it. He smiled and the white lightning covered his body. He then transformed into a lightning bolt and dashed forward at a terrifying speed.
"So fast!" Even the Kaiserpede was shocked by Lin Huang's speed.
Yi Zheng and the rest could no longer see Lin Huang's movements. To them, Lin Huang had disappeared into thin air.
In reality, Lin Huang appeared on top of the Kaiserpede's head in a flash. Before the Kaiserpede could react, Lin Huang swung his white lightning sword at the first joint on its head. One slash after another, Lin Huang swung his sword hundreds of times in a blink of an eye.
"Roar!"
In pain, the Kaiserpede Monarch Worm let out an angry roar. Its body trembled and countless poisonous spikes shot out from its back.
This time, Lin Huang did not dodge. He pressed his hand into the air and a black mirror quickly formed in front of him.
One by one, the poisonous stingers hit the surface of the mirror. The moment they collided with the surface of the mirror, ripples spread out, but in the next second, they were swallowed up and bounced back. After the poisonous spikes bounced back from the mirror, they were all aimed at the joint on its head that Lin Huang's blade had hit.
The Kaiserpede Monarch Worm's poisonous spikes were not much weaker than Lin Huang's slashes. This wave of rebound attack allowed many of the poisonous spikes to hit the spot that Lin Huang had just attacked. The Kaiserpede Monarch Worm let out another painful cry.
However, as the poisonous spikes were mainly attacking the bones, the Kaiserpede Monarch Worm was not affected by its own poison. In fact, this monster would be poisoned if its poison entered its bloodstream. However, it had a strong resistance to its own poison. Even if it was poisoned, it would not die. At most, there would be some side effects.
The Kaiserpede Monarch Worm immediately chose to escape. Although it had amazing regenerative abilities, it could not withstand Lin Huang's repeated attacks on the same joint on its body. Once the joint was broken, its movement would be greatly affected.
With hundreds of its long legs moving, the Kaiserpede Monarch Worm's body was abnormally agile. It wanted to shake off Lin Huang.
"Are you trying to run?!" Lin Huang shouted and chased after him like a bolt of lightning.
If it was any other monster, Lin Huang would definitely choose to stand on its back and attack. However, the Kaiserpede Monarch Worm had a large number of poisonous spikes on its carapace. There was no place for him to stand. Lin Huang could only lock on to the Kaiserpede Monarch Worm's head and continue to attack it from a distance.
However, as the Kaiserpede kept changing its speed and direction, Lin Huang could not guarantee that all his attacks would hit its joints. Less than 50% of his attacks landed on the Kaiserpede's joints.
The Kaiserpede Monarch Worm knew that even if it had amazing regenerative abilities, if it let Lin Huang attack it like this, its joint would definitely break. Once the joint was broken, its mobility would be greatly affected. When that happened, it would be at Lin Huang's mercy.
"Human, you've forced me to do this!" The Kaiserpede Monarch Worm knew that it could not hold back anymore. Otherwise, it might really die in the hands of this white flame-level genius.
As soon as the Kaiserpede Monarch Worm finished its words, purple threads began to seep out of its poisonous spikes. The threads looked as thin as spider silk, and they quickly formed a web on the Kaiserpede's carapace. The Kaiserpede's purplish-black body also began to turn pure black, as if the purple pigment was being drawn out by the web.
Lin Huang's pupils shrunk as he saw that and immediately retreated.
He was so nervous because the Kaiserpede Monarch Worm was about to use its ultimate skill.
The Kaiserpede Monarch Worm's skill was called Myriad Threads. It extracted all the venom in its body and formed a web in the air. The venom web was like an airborne virus that would spread in the air. It would form a three-dimensional spider web wherever it passed.
The venomous threads could penetrate through the pores of living beings and they could also be inhaled into the lungs as invisible particles.
The Kaiserpede Monarch Worm's venom was concentrated in its body. Just a little bit of the venom would be enough to kill a person who was three ranks higher than the Kaiserpede Monarch Worm in less than three minutes.
However, the Kaiserpede Monarch Worm was reluctant to use such a skill as the venom in its body would be completely removed after using it. It would take at least a hundred years for the venom to be regenerated. Another reason was that using this skill would cause its combat level to drop by at least a rank.
"I think I've accidentally caused some trouble …" Lin Huang did not expect the Kaiserpede Monarch Worm to use this skill so decisively.
"If this is the Kaiserpede Monarch Worm's first time using this skill, with the intensity of the venom in its body, there won't be any living beings within a 60-kilometer radius. The venom will only disappear completely after a month," Bloody estimated.
"Lin Huang, let's retreat before the venom spreads." Yi Zheng knew that the Kaiserpede Monarch Worm was invincible after using this skill.
"I really don't want to use this skill on an immortal-level rank-3 … It's too much of a bully." Lin Huang shook his head helplessly. The white lightning on his sword turned into a blinding flame.
"Flowing Flame Blade!"
As Lin Huang uttered the four words, a white glow enveloped the entire room.
They could only see the sword in Lin Huang's hand emitting a blinding white glow like the sun. The next moment, the entire room turned white.
After more than ten seconds, the blinding white glow faded, and a silhouette slowly landed on the ground.
The purple threads that were formed by the venom were no longer in the room, and the gigantic Kaiserpede was nowhere to be seen.
"Lin Huang, did you win?" Although it was the truth, Li Lang could not help but ask.
"I did."
"Where's the Kaiserpede? Did it escape? "Yi Yeyu asked immediately.
"Of course, it's dead." Lin Huang shook his head and smiled.
"Has the venom been cleared?" Yi Yeyu was shocked.
"Yes, it's been cleared. Don't worry." Lin Huang nodded.
"The skill just now …" Yi Yeyu wanted to ask more, but Yi Zheng grabbed her shoulder and shook his head.
It was obvious that the skill was Lin Huang's trump card. Although Yi Zheng was curious about the effect of the skill, he knew that it was not the right time to ask as he was a person with a strong sense of propriety.
Yi Yeyu seemed to realize that it was not the right time to ask as she was stopped. She nodded and kept quiet.
"This is a warehouse. Let's see if there's any loot here. There's no treasure in any of the rooms along the way. They should be in the Kaiserpede's room. "Lin Huang looked around but did not find anything.
After searching for a while, Leng Yuexin found a well-hidden entrance to the basement. The entrance was completely disguised by a giant rock. Even Bloody's investigation and Lin Huang's Territory did not notice anything unusual.
After revealing the giant rock, they walked down the stairs to the bottom floor.
It was a small warehouse that was less than 200 square meters. However, the cabinets in the warehouse had collapsed. Many Emperor's Heart Rings, intact weapons, armors, and even other types of relics were piled up together with the ores. Many of them were standard military items, but they were not the ones used by the Coalition government.
Bloody gave the final result after a round of counting.
"There's a total of 3,587 Emperor's Heart Rings, 327 sets of expert-grade relics, 511 other relics and miscellaneous items, and some Life Crystal ores and other ores."
"That's a lot!" Lin Huang was satisfied with the loot. "Same rule, we'll split the public loot equally."
After putting all the treasures into the storage ring, Lin Huang brought them to the upper floor. He was thinking about how to explain the ruins to them.
