230: Traction
Su Yuan suddenly took the place of the Black Water Jade Qilin Beast and put away the water-colored bead, causing all the surrounding sea beasts, including the three Gold Level ones, to change their expressions dramatically and rush at him in fury.
Bright yellow flames ignited from his body. Su Yuan opened his left hand, and twelve Sky Locks shot out from the void around, with four each binding the three leading Gold Level sea beasts in front.
The three Gold Level sea beasts, bound by the Sky Locks, were momentarily immobilized, unable to move a muscle.
Despite their shock, the three sea beasts immediately began to struggle violently.
Su Yuan’s hands didn’t stop. On the Phoenix Perch Saber he held, dark Space Power surged, and after a moment of charging, he slashed three times in quick succession!
Black light flashed continuously, and three Boundary Breaking Lines shot forward, swiftly passing through the slightly trembling Gold Level sea beasts!
Blood splattered as the star power and physical defenses of the three Gold Level sea beasts barely held out for an instant before being cleanly sliced in half by the Boundary Breaking Lines!
Following them, a large number of Silver Stage sea beasts also fell in unison.
Su Yuan did not hesitate, slashing out several more Boundary Breaking Lines, killing all the sea beasts present on the spot!
“Moo!!”
Just as Su Yuan finished dealing with all the sea beasts on the altar, a roar came from a distance. It was the Black Water Jade Qilin Beast, whom Su Yuan had just replaced.
The Black Water Jade Qilin Beast stared at Su Yuan, its blood-red eyes filled with intense anger that almost burst forth!
Since birth, the Black Water Jade Qilin Beast had been a standout among the South Sea Sea Beasts, with the potential to evolve into a pure-blood Qilin.
Entrusted with an important task to come to these ruins, the bead was almost within its grasp, only to be snatched by Su Yuan, who also slaughtered all its subordinate sea beasts in an instant.
It was an unprecedented humiliation!
Never had the Black Water Jade Qilin Beast suffered such indignity. Enraged, it burst forth with abundant star power, charging at Su Yuan like a dragon swimming in the water!
Su Yuan’s expression was indifferent. A flash of silver light in his eyes, he vanished from his original spot, reappearing in front of the Black Water Jade Qilin Beast the next moment, his saber infused with Space Power slashing down!
The sudden change startled the Black Water Jade Qilin Beast, momentarily clearing its mind. It instantly mobilized its star power, raising its right claw to block the incoming saber.
“Clang!”
Star power vibrated, and a shockwave erupted between the man and the beast.
“Roar roar!”
In their standoff, the Black Water Jade Qilin Beast let out a low growl.
Despite the blood trickling from its claw, the beast actually managed to block Su Yuan’s powerful sudden strike!
Upon closer inspection, the water light in the Black Water Jade Qilin Beast’s claw flowed like silk, surprisingly resilient. Even when cut by Space Power, it continuously repaired itself, greatly diminishing the Phoenix Perch Saber’s impact.
Plus, the Black Water Jade Qilin Beast’s formidable defense allowed the saber to create only a bloodline on its palm without cutting deeper.
“As expected of a Qilin subspecies, truly formidable star power and exceptional control skills…” Su Yuan praised, then his gaze turned cold. “However, that’s all you have.”
The bright yellow flames on Su Yuan’s body suddenly blazed hotter, transforming into a fiery white in a moment!
Simultaneously, his aura surged at an exaggerated speed!
Great Sun Burning Body Technique·White Flame!
A strong sense of foreboding rose in the Black Water Jade Qilin Beast’s heart. It wanted to escape immediately.
However, Su Yuan once again pressed down with his saber!
“Cut!”
The dark light on the Phoenix Perch Saber surged. The beast’s right claw could no longer block it and was cut into by the saber shrouded in dense black light.
The Black Water Jade Qilin Beast’s pupils contracted sharply. It couldn’t even scream before a line of blood spread from its crown down to its abdomen, cleaving it in half from head to tail!
Su Yuan’s star power surged around him, dispersing the exploding blood, and then he extinguished the white flames on his body.
As the Great Sun Burning Body Technique was lifted, Su Yuan’s aura only decreased slightly from before.
Clearly, the White Flame Burning Body, once difficult to maintain at the Bronze Level, was now fully usable with Su Yuan at the Silver High Stage.
With the added twofold boost from the White Flame Burning Body, Su Yuan’s attributes reached a level between Gold Early Stage and Intermediate Stage!
This was one of Su Yuan’s trump cards!
“Luckily, I resolved it without much effort.” Su Yuan nodded slightly, surveying the sea beast corpses around him.
This time, he had gone all out from the start, using the Great Sun Burning Body Technique before the Black Water Jade Qilin Beast returned, and quickly killing three Gold Level elite sea beasts with the Sky Locks.
Afterward, when the Black Water Jade Qilin Beast returned, Su Yuan used Instant Movement and the White Flame Burning Body to kill it instantly.
It was all about speed!
After all, these were Gold Level sea beasts, including a Qilin subspecies. If they had fully utilized their strength and teamed up, it would have been much more troublesome for Su Yuan.
Even if he could ultimately win, the cost would be significantly higher!
Putting away the star cores on the ground, Su Yuan took out the water-colored bead from earlier.
He hadn’t had time to examine it closely before. Now, looking carefully, he noticed a unique Star Power Mark on the bead besides its extremely pure energy.
Though unfamiliar with the mark, Su Yuan speculated it was a species mark, symbolizing “Naga,” indicating that this bead was kept by the Naga race.
Moreover, holding the bead, he felt a distinct pull from a specific direction in the ruins.
