My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 430: Chapter 200: Erosion Puppet

Ahead was a mountain pass. The thick stench of blood and foul odors made Qin Fang’s expression darken slightly. He almost instantly thought of something...

’...The Blood Luo Sect?’

Just as he was thinking, a rustling sound suddenly rang out. His mount, Xile, let out a low growl. Qin Fang also noticed that the foul stench had abruptly intensified.

’Have I been discovered?’

His expression changed slightly.

The next moment, a massive black shadow suddenly shot toward them from the front, its speed shockingly fast!

Before Qin Fang could say a word, Xile growled and leaped away.

The next instant, a RUSTLE and the sound of something slicing through the air rang out. Where Xile had just been standing, branches snapped as if sprayed by a storm of projectiles. A moment later, with a SIZZLING sound, the leaves and branches began to emit thick smoke, rotting away as quickly as melting snow!

The foul stench permeated the air!

Qin Fang’s pupils constricted slightly. He finally got a clear look at the black shadow that had suddenly ambushed them.

The thing was over four meters tall and stood on all fours, yet it was no ordinary beast.

Its entire body was covered in a layer of slick, dark crimson flesh that looked like exposed, rotting muscle.

A viscous, yellow-green pus constantly oozed from its surface, dripping onto the treetops. Wherever it landed, the canopy would emit green smoke and corrode.

The most nauseating part was its head—

It had no eyes or nostrils, only a circular maw that took up more than half of its head!

Inside, several spiraling rows of pale, sharp teeth writhed slowly, dripping with terrifyingly corrosive saliva.

Its back was arched high, covered in pale, irregularly protruding bone spurs. The tips of a few of them were even pulsing faintly, as if some liquid were flowing within.

And the ends of its limbs—neither claws nor hooves—were three rotting tentacles!

The tentacles were nimble, their ends split, and were currently wrapped around the treetops.

Now, the monster adjusted its position slightly. Its horrifying maw turned to face Qin Fang and Xile, and a stench—a mixture of rotting corpses and potent acid—washed over them...

Even someone like Qin Fang couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath when he saw the monster that had ambushed them.

’...This thing... just a single glance at it is enough to make your stomach turn!’

’...It’s even more disgusting than that tumor-like monster I saw before!’

’What kind of monster is this?’

’...Is it a Blood Beast, too?’

Just as he was thinking, the monster lunged at him again.

It let out a shrill, hoarse, and piercing shriek that actually formed a sonic wave, enveloping Qin Fang and Xile.

All the fur on Xile’s body stood on end as it shot backward again.

As Xile retreated, the terrifyingly corrosive liquid sprayed forth once more.

This time, Qin Fang saw it clearly... The liquid was actually being sprayed from the ends of its tentacle-like limbs. When in use, the ends of the tentacles would open up like a palm, revealing a Meat Cave inside that resembled a baby’s mouth, from which the liquid was ejected.

The foul stench intensified.

Without a second thought, Qin Fang immediately held his breath.

At the same time, his expression turned cold as he said in a low voice, ”Xile, fall back.”

After speaking, he flipped off the dog-like creature and simply hovered in mid-air.

Upon hearing the command, Xile obediently turned and fled. In just a few bounds, it was already far away, running across the treetops.

Qin Fang stared at the distant monster. As it charged again, his figure flickered and vanished.

The next moment, he appeared beside a treetop. He snatched a large handful of leaves with his right hand, channeled his True Essence, and shot them out with a flick of his wrist.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

A fierce whistling filled the air as the leaves, like speeding bullets carrying Profound Nether True Essence, instantly shot toward the monster.

The monster shrieked again, creating a tangible shockwave that enveloped all the leaves.

But the leaves, infused with Profound Nether True Essence, did not lose their momentum and struck the monster in an instant.

But with a series of sharp SMACKS, the leaves were repelled, and Qin Fang’s gaze darkened...

’...This monster’s Physique is astonishingly strong. The leaves, carrying my Profound Nether True Essence, didn’t even pierce its body.’

Instead, the leaves all disintegrated.

Nevertheless, the monster let out a miserable shriek.

This was because... as the Profound Nether True Essence took effect, a dense layer of frost instantly appeared on its body!

It roared again as True Essence flared from its body. The powerful surge of True Essence shattered the frost on its skin. It raised its forelimbs once more and, like a turret, began frantically spraying the corrosive liquid.

Naturally, Qin Fang wasn’t foolish enough to stand still and test whether the corrosive liquid could damage his Nine-Layered Abyss Water Armor.

His figure flashed, leaving behind a True Essence afterimage.

His real body, however, had already soared high into the air.

CRACK!

The True Essence clone was shattered by the powerfully piercing liquid.

The monster froze for a second, then immediately raised its head, revealing that disgusting maw. It aimed at Qin Fang in the air and, with a SPIT, ejected a large glob of yellow-green slime.

It was even faster than the spray from its limbs!

Qin Fang’s gaze darkened. He flickered out of the way again, dodging the attack.

Reappearing near another treetop not far away, Qin Fang furrowed his brow, grabbed another large handful of leaves, and hurled them out.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

The leaves, imbued with Profound Nether True Essence, shot forth once again.

’...The slime on this monster’s body is obviously nasty stuff. Of course I’m not going to fight it up close.’

The leaves disintegrated again, but the Profound Nether True Essence once more froze a part of its body.

The monster shrieked, True Essence surging through its body as it tried to shatter the ice again.

This time, however, Qin Fang didn’t stop. While dodging the monster’s counterattacks, he continuously grabbed handfuls of leaves and shot them out in a frenzy.
