Chapter 1399 Blood Red Guillotine
Sensing the aura of numerous divine beasts approaching from afar, Lin Qiye’s expression changed in the midst of battle.
“So many?!”
Lin Qiye had considered that the attackers of this island weren’t limited to the three black alligators currently on the island. After all, this was the Dragon’s Eye of the Great Xia’s national fortune. Thinking that just three divine beast-level monsters could destroy this place was nothing but a fool’s dream. However, he hadn’t expected so many black alligators to be lurking around the island.
This was an organized, planned attack operation!
But how did such a massive number of black alligators bypass the front lines and arrive here?
“This doesn’t look good…” Baili Pangpang’s expression grew solemn at the sight.
“Don’t overthink it. Let’s work together to kill this black alligator first, and leave the rest to the commanders,” Lin Qiye shifted his gaze from the terrifying horde of black alligators back to the one surrounded by the five of them.
Although this black alligator was also a divine beast, compared to the White Marsh they had encountered in the [Virtual Reconstruction] world not long ago, there was still a considerable gap. It was somewhat troublesome for the current [Nightfall] team, but not undefeatable.
“Hehehehehe…”
The crazed Cao Yuan had no intention of thinking too much. In his eyes, there was only this wounded black alligator.
The murderous blade aura slashed frantically at the black alligator’s body surface. Blood gradually spread across its back. Surrounded by Lin Qiye and the others, it seemed to realize it couldn’t escape, so it abandoned its mission to charge deeper into the island. A fierce killing intent burst forth from its dark green eyeball!
Although it hadn’t been able to probe what was deep within the island, judging by the full mobilization of its companions, that no longer mattered.
The black alligator’s massive body swept across the ground, its house-sized mouth suddenly lunging toward the crazed Cao Yuan who had been harassing it. Though this guy couldn’t inflict much damage, his constant slashing was irritating, not to mention that continuous, strange laughter that buzzed like a fly by its ear.
After successfully attracting the black alligator’s aggression, the crazed Cao Yuan gradually retreated. Wrapped in murderous flame, he moved like an agile black butterfly, constantly dodging the black alligator’s jaws while occasionally slashing to provoke it further.
An Qingyu and Lin Qiye exchanged glances, nodded, and slammed their hands heavily onto the ground, fingers digging into the soil, transforming into vines that gradually penetrated the earth.
Then, one thick tree trunk after another erupted from the ground, frantically extending toward the sky. Each was dozens of meters thick, forming ten towering pillars like a giant tree cage encircling the battlefield between the crazed Cao Yuan and the black alligator.
Meanwhile, Lin Qiye quickly bit his fingertip, using blood as ink. His figure became a blur as he swiftly drew intricate patterns around the outside of the tree cage.
The black alligator, entangled with the crazed Cao Yuan, sensed it was about to be trapped in the tree cage and immediately reacted, charging rapidly toward several not-yet-fully-formed tree trunks.
“Quite clever,” Baili Pangpang, standing in mid-air, snorted lightly upon seeing this. A massive black and white Taiji diagram opened again, instantly enveloping the black alligator.
Standing at the center of the black and white Taiji diagram, his figure flickered, and he floated to the opposite [Kun] trigram. With one hand forming a seal, he softly murmured:
“Qian Kun Reverse, Exchange!”
The black alligator, charging straight toward one end of the tree cage, stepped heavily on the [Qian] trigram. As Baili Pangpang’s voice came, a light burst from the trigram below, swallowing the black alligator’s form.
The next moment, the black alligator, which had almost reached the edge of the tree cage, suddenly returned to the [Kun] trigram on the other side, while its original position was taken by Baili Pangpang.
The black alligator stood dazed for a while before finally reacting, turning its head to charge toward another side of the tree cage.
“This monster has intelligence, but not much,” An Qingyu, with his fingers dug into the ground, calmly concluded.
The crazed Cao Yuan floated back to the black alligator’s vicinity, holding his straight knife, somewhat provocatively beckoning to it with his finger. But this time the black alligator completely ignored him. Even as he chased closely behind, wildly slashing with his knife, it showed no intention of stopping.
Boom——!!
The black alligator rammed headfirst into one of the thick tree trunks of the cage, producing a muffled sound!
Cracks spread across the trunk’s surface. An Qingyu, with his fingers dug into the ground, grunted and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Outside the tree cage, a massive blood-colored magic array was rapidly taking shape.
The black alligator seemed to sense a hint of danger and continuously rammed against the tree cage, trying to break free. But the cage was sturdier than it had imagined. Despite several consecutive impacts, it couldn’t completely break through—impacts that could have collapsed a tall mountain outside.
“Seven Night, I can’t hold on much longer,” An Qingyu’s face turned slightly pale.
Lin Qiye’s afterimage swept around the outside of the tree cage. When the last blood line of the magic array was completed, he quickly stood up.
“It’s ready.”
He stomped the ground forcefully, frantically infusing his mental power. The complex blood-colored array around the tree cage gradually lit up, turning a corner of the island’s sky crimson.
A terrifying forbidden spell aura spread wildly!
As Lin Qiye raised his right hand, countless red light points floated up from every corner of the magic array, intertwining and merging, quickly forming a blood-colored cleaver hundreds of meters long, suspended in the night sky!
The cleaver’s edge emanated a faint black mist. Vaguely, one could hear countless vengeful souls cursing and howling from within. Sensing the terrifying power contained in this blood-colored cleaver, the black alligator’s ramming frequency increased, and panic appeared in its dark green eyeball.
Bang——!
With a tremendous noise, the black alligator broke through one of the tree cage’s trunks. An Qingyu violently spat out a mouthful of blood, and one of his fingers dug into the soil snapped.
Just as the black alligator was about to break out of the tree cage, Lin Qiye waved his hand in the air, and that blood-colored cleaver suspended in the night slashed down like lightning!
“Forbidden Spell, [Blood Red Guillotine].”
The cleaver’s edge precisely struck the black alligator’s neck, making a piercing screech. The black alligator’s body instantly smashed a dramatic crater in the ground below, its entire head pinned to the ground by the cleaver.
But even so, the blood-colored cleaver had only cut through two-thirds of its neck. Blood spread across the ground as it still frantically moved its body, trying to escape from under the cleaver.
At that moment, a shade of night flashed above its head. Lin Qiye, wielding the Ama-no-Murakumo sword, fiercely slashed the blade into the remaining half of its neck!
The Ama-no-Murakumo’s edge easily cut through the black alligator’s body, severing its last trace of life. A huge head without facial features rolled several meters on the ground before slowly coming to a stop.
Lin Qiye slowly pulled the Ama-no-Murakumo sword from the black alligator’s corpse, and a warm current flowed along the blade into his body…
