Chapter 1134: Chapter 496: Twisted Monsters (2)

“So that’s how it is, their bodies aren’t fixed in shape.”

“Even if you want to attack, their bodies have toughness to them.”

Ning Qi looked at the outer layer of gray mist and the soft, water-like body inside. How was he supposed to attack something like that?

Using a sharp blade probably wouldn’t work, right?

Thinking that, Ning Qi had already taken out the Chaos Sword.

But very quickly, he put it back again.

He drew an ordinary longsword.

“Then I’ll just test it on you first.”

Ning Qi smiled, then swung the Profound Sword in his hand.

After he triggered a strand of Sword Qi, he thrust toward the twisted monster closest to him.

“Splash!”

That sword pierced through the twisted monster.

Ning Qi was a little surprised.

It couldn’t be resolved this easily, could it?

Sure enough, after he withdrew the longsword, the hole he had stabbed through in the twisted monster’s body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Swoosh!”

Immediately after, the twisted monster’s claw grabbed toward Ning Qi.

The gray mist around them shattered layer by layer as the claw swept through.

Even the void itself was torn open with several claw marks.

“An attack that carries Daoist resonance?”

Ning Qi only glanced at it, and his eyes widened.

But he quickly reacted: “No, that’s not Daoist resonance, it’s corrosive!”

He clearly saw strands of slime clinging to that claw.

Strictly speaking, this was an attack method formed by the watery residue inside the twisted monster.

Those deep layers of body that were like water would actively turn into corrosive liquid as he attacked.

Merging into its claw.

After seeing it clearly, Ning Qi’s expression grew grave.

“Swoosh!”

He swung his sword horizontally to block.

He did manage to stop the twisted monster’s strike, but his Profound Sword was already being corroded.

It let out a hissing, sizzling sound of burning.

“Hoo!”

Ning Qi blasted backward, then looked at his Profound Sword.

Although its material was inferior to the Chaos Sword, it wasn’t some mortal trinket.

It got corroded this easily?

At the moment, the sword was covered in traces of corrosion.

Ning Qi flicked it in his hand; the blade was no longer as sharp as before.

Obviously, it had already been eaten away to the point it couldn’t be used any longer.

“Damn, this strong?”

Ning Qi had originally thought these twisted monsters weren’t that powerful.

After all, they looked soft and squishy, with no bones and no Armor.

“Roar!”

Before he could think further, the twisted monster in front of him let out a roar.

Several twisted monsters bellowed in unison and rushed toward him.

Wherever they passed, streaks of black shadow swept by.

Accompanied by shrill, miserable cries.

It sounded more like vengeful ghosts howling.

“Souls?”

Ning Qi could clearly feel the power of souls surging inside their bodies.

His Divine Sense probed inside, and he abruptly discovered—

Within each twisted monster, there were actually a large number of souls.

Each one was struggling in agony, and some were shrieking in fury.

“These should all be the souls they’ve devoured!”

After Ning Qi made his judgment, he looked at the twisted monsters ahead.

This was bad; they didn’t seem easy to deal with.

Ning Qi shook his head.

They were corrosive, could erode a person’s soul, and could even devour it.

They had toughness—this was what he’d observed from that single exchange.

Then what other trump cards did they have?

Ning Qi stopped hesitating and drew the Chaos Sword.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll just go all out.”

He still didn’t know what fear was.

Facing this kind of threat, the only answer was to fight with his life on the line.

The rest he would leave to fate.

He gripped the Chaos Sword tightly, and at the same time, began circulating the Immortal Demon Power in his body.

Immediately after, the Infinite Evil Qi he’d kept hidden also started to flow.

That endless Infinite Evil Qi was poured into the Chaos Sword.

“Buzz!”

As the Infinite Evil Qi poured in, it made the Chaos Sword hum nonstop.

Strands of Evil Qi coiled and surged, shaking the gray mist all around until it trembled wildly.

“Swoosh!”

This time, a twisted monster rushed at him again, clawing toward him.

Ning Qi gripped the longsword and chopped straight down at the claw in front of him.

“Puff!”

To his surprise, that one strike instantly severed the claw.

From the severed stump, clumps of black water gushed out at once.

“Roar!”

The twisted monster howled in pain, its other hand clutching its own wound.

Its hatred for Ning Qi surged to the heavens.

It didn’t retreat, but instead opened its huge mouth.

It lunged forward, trying to swallow Ning Qi whole.

Ning Qi stared at the mouth full of fangs, and the waves of nauseating rot stench rolling out.

His brows couldn’t help but knit together.

“So damn disgusting.”

Ning Qi cursed, then tightened his grip on the Chaos Sword and thrust straight at the twisted monster’s head.

“Swoosh!”

As expected, his Chaos Sword instantly pierced through the twisted monster’s skull.

However, Ning Qi had no intention of letting it off.

Both hands exerted force, and he slashed down along from its head.

“Puff!”

In this way, he directly cleaved the twisted monster into two halves.

When the Chaos Sword reached its pigeon-egg-sized sphere, Ning Qi simply kept pressing down.

Unfortunately, that sphere wasn’t destroyed by him.

But because the twisted monster had been split in two, that sphere became an ownerless object.

Ning Qi didn’t mind; as the sphere floated there, he flicked his hand and drew it straight into his grasp.

After tossing it into his Storage Bag, he once more fixed his gaze on the group of twisted monsters before him.

“Heh heh! Looks like my Chaos Sword can restrain their bodies!”

Ning Qi had noticed this as well.

It wasn’t afraid of their corrosion, and it had an excellent destructive effect on their bodies.

The Profound Sword from before could also damage them, but their bodies could regenerate.

Yet once the Chaos Sword struck the twisted monsters’ bodies, they simply couldn’t heal.

The twisted monster corpse from just now had already dispersed into heaven and earth.

The only remaining sphere had already been put away by Ning Qi.

These twisted monsters saw their companion killed and all roared as they charged at Ning Qi.

Each one wanted nothing more than to tear him apart and devour him alive.

A few of the stronger ones had already expanded to dozens of zhang tall.

They sealed off Ning Qi’s retreat.

The rest simply rushed in directly.

“Roar!”

“…”

They roared one after another as they lunged at Ning Qi.

“Go to hell!”

Ning Qi no longer held back. Gripping the Chaos Sword, he charged into their midst.

“Swoosh!”

“Bang!”

“…”

These twisted monsters were simply no match for him.

Strictly speaking, they were no match for his Chaos Sword.

When dealing with twisted monsters using the Chaos Sword, there was basically no need for a second strike.

Very soon, the twisted monsters were slaughtered until only one was left.

It was the one whose body had enlarged dozens of times.

It also noticed that it was the only one left, yet showed no intention of fleeing.

It likewise roared and charged at Ning Qi.

With teeth bared and claws flailing, it looked like it wanted to refine him on the spot.

“Hmph, courting death.”

Ning Qi gave a cold snort at the twisted monster.

Then he hefted the Chaos Sword, triggered the Infinite Evil Qi, and in an instant slashed down toward the twisted monster.

“Puff!”

As expected, he successfully struck the twisted monster’s massive body.

He directly cleaved it into two halves.

“Hoo!”

But before Ning Qi could catch his breath.

This twisted monster didn’t die like the others.

Its body also didn’t recondense.

Instead, it used the chance to split into two.

Both halves continued their assault on Ning Qi.

This time, it had gotten smarter and didn’t use physical attacks.

Instead, it opened its huge mouth and spat out clouds of black mist at Ning Qi.

In an instant, the area was shrouded.

“Woooo…”

Within the black mist, countless ferocious ghosts were letting out shrill wails.

They roared as they surged toward Ning Qi.

Ning Qi stared intently at the black mist, retreating again and again.

He avoided the direct corrosion of the black mist.

From within it, he could clearly feel fluctuations of soul.

Ning Qi knew very well that these ferocious ghosts were all people devoured by these twisted monsters.

“Swoosh!”

As Ning Qi rapidly retreated, he suddenly sensed a figure appear behind him.

It was the other twisted monster that had been split in two.

Taking the opportunity, it had already slipped behind him, likewise opening its mouth and lunging in to swallow Ning Qi.

“Damn it.”

Being attacked from both sides made Ning Qi curse.
