After the Hongmeng Purity Qi was infused into the Green-Scaled Longsword, the sword began to tremble violently, emitting a continuous humming.
Finally, it could no longer resist and forcibly accepted Chen Jie's Hongmeng Purity Qi.
After a short moment, the fusion was successful.
Though the process seemed long, it had only taken a brief amount of time.
"What did you do to this sword?"
Seeing the Green-Scaled Longsword, the five-eyed monster's eyes flickered with fear.
Unlike before, it could faintly sense the threat emanating from the sword.
The dangerous aura sent chills down its spine.
"Nothing much, just modified it so it can take your life."
Chen Jie's gaze turned cold as he held the sword horizontally.
Tap tap tap!
With a few swift steps, Chen Jie closed in on the five-eyed monster.
Seeing him approach, the monster immediately summoned its dual claws back for defense.
"Come and see how sharp my Green-Scaled Longsword is!"
Chen Jie slashed horizontally at the monster's chest.
A menacing white blade suddenly appeared.
The monster's claws met the sword head-on.
Shhh!
Unfortunately, the claws had no effect against the modified Green-Scaled Longsword.
In an instant, they were severed into two sections.
However…
Because the claws were formed from fused grudges, they were not so easily destroyed.
After being cut, they could regenerate.
But the regenerated claws were much weaker than before.
This was clearly the effect of Chen Jie's Hongmeng Purity Qi.
"Regenerate, huh? Let's see how many times you can do that!"
Chen Jie gave the five-eyed monster no time to recover, unleashing a relentless barrage of attacks like a storm of raindrops.
The monster could only defend passively against such a dense onslaught.
"Human! Don't get too cocky! I'll fight you!"
Seeing the situation worsen, the monster grew furious.
One of its five eyes had already been destroyed by Chen Jie.
It merged the remaining four eyes into one massive singular eye, located over the two mouths on its chest.
Zzz!!!
While Chen Jie was busy attacking, the eye suddenly fired a powerful laser, striking Chen Jie directly.
"Hahaha, perfect hit!"
The monster was overjoyed.
But even though it hit, Chen Jie remained completely unscathed.
"Such weak power—don't embarrass yourself by showing off!"
Chen Jie smirked.
He was wearing the Squid Armor, which could nullify 50% of attacks from below ghost-level enemies.
Combined with his S-class Chaotic Xuanhuang bloodline, his physique was absurdly strong.
Thus, the monster's proud laser attack felt like nothing more than a tickle to him—harmless!
At this, the monster was stunned.
In its mind, that laser should have killed a fourth-stage awakened in a single strike.
Yet Chen Jie was completely fine—and still attacking relentlessly!
What kind of monster was this? So terrifying…
Now, the five-eyed monster considered Chen Jie more monstrous than itself.
Swish swish swish!
Chen Jie's attacks came continuously for three minutes.
Finally, the monster exhausted itself and had to retract its two claws from its chest.
"Damn it! Heh heh, even if you can limit my claws, what can you do? I can just vanish into the darkness, and no one can catch me!"
The five-eyed monster knew it couldn't defeat Chen Jie, but it believed it could escape easily.
With Chen Jie's current power, no fourth-stage awakened could catch it in the darkness.
And with a little more time to grow stronger, it was confident it could crush Chen Jie by rank next time.
"Are you sure you can still walk?"
Chen Jie tilted his head, gesturing at the monster to look at his legs.
During the frequent attacks, Chen Jie had struck the monster's legs a few times.
The monster, fully focused on defense, hadn't noticed.
Chen Jie's sword strikes weren't ordinary injuries.
The Green-Scaled Longsword, infused with Hongmeng Purity Qi and its exorcising lightning, had fully penetrated the monster's legs.
"You… despicable human!"
The monster realized it could barely move its legs.
Trying to exert force, its legs went numb as if their nerves were severed.
Thud! It fell to its knees.
"It's time to end this!"
Chen Jie's sword glowed more intensely with Hongmeng Purity Qi and lightning.
He took a step forward.
Whoosh!
He dashed past the five-eyed monster, the blade flashing with him.
Shhh!
The Green-Scaled Longsword pierced the monster completely.
Instantly, the once tough-looking monster was cleaved in half.
"Ugh… kill one of me… there are… still many of me!"
The five-eyed monster collapsed reluctantly.
The fused single eye exploded, spilling ichor everywhere.
The original five-eyed monster was now eyeless.
After the kill, a pulsating golden light orb appeared on Chen Jie.
Needless to say, another treasure dropped!
Chen Jie stepped forward, catching the golden orb in his hands.
Immediately, he felt the energy from the orb.
It was a talent orb.
Absorbing it, the energy concentrated in his eyes.
Golden sparks appeared at the corners of his eyes.
He had gained a new talent:
True Vision Eye: Can see the weak points of mutated monsters below Dragon level and grants a special effect of slowing their movements. Monsters appear slower in your vision.
What a valuable ability!
Chen Jie beamed.
With this talent, facing mutated monsters would no longer be so chaotic.
He wouldn't be chased around by special attacks, and the slow-motion effect would make close combat easier.
"Wanrou, thanks for the sword!"
Chen Jie returned the Green-Scaled Longsword.
"It's… yours, silly. Everything's yours now!"
Xia Wanrou blushed as she took the sword back.
"Hahaha, you should have your mimic war spirit absorb the five-eyed monster's body. That should strengthen it!"
Chen Jie laughed.
Xia Wanrou summoned her mimic war spirit.
The little gluttonous snake had already smelled the five-eyed monster and was waiting for this moment.
As soon as it appeared, it pounced on the monster's corpse.
After devouring it, the little snake shook with delight, radiating bright cyan light.
The little snake had leveled up!
