The Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage was actually not afraid of flas; they only feared the flas produced by Xiang Beifei.
To be more precise, it seed like they were afraid of Xiang Beifei’s Spiritual Power!
However, the treants in this withered forest were strange; they seed to be able to absorb Spiritual Power, rendering all skill-based attacks useless against them; even the flas of Xiang Beifei could be devoured by them.
This ti, even the branches stained with stream water seed to have gained the ability to devour his Spiritual Power!
What is the relationship between these streams and the treants?
"Now, your biggest reliance has been taken away,"
Shi Reni, through the remnants of the Ghost Mustache burnt by Xiang Beifei’s flas, understood the uniqueness of Xiang Beifei and attempted to deal with him using the stream water from the withered forest.
As expected, her idea was correct!
Shi Reni chuckled lightly, imdiately charging at Xiang Beifei with the water-soaked branch in her hand!
Whoosh!
Xiang Beifei punched again, but when his fist struck the branch, it was t with an absorbing force that quickly devoured his Spiritual Power, instantly extinguishing his flas.
anwhile, the branch in Shi Reni’s hand, carrying a formidable force, whipped towards Xiang Beifei. Her speed was very fast, even several degrees faster than Xiang Beifei; he had hardly reacted when the branch hit his arm!
A nimble force imdiately surged on Xiang Beifei’s body!
Professor Guo’s defense skills, Counter-Blade!
He intended to counter the force from the branch, but a bizarre absorbing force erged again from the branch, swallowing up the Counter-Blade power that had just risen in Xiang Beifei!
[Counter-Blade]utilized Spiritual Power to turn the force into one’s own, repelling the opponent’s attack back at them.
Its essence was still Spiritual Power!
Bang!
Xiang Beifei staggered back, crashing into a tree, knocking it down. The once green tree withered instantly upon impact, with broken branches and fallen leaves scattering all around.
He got up, looked at his arm – a scorching scar remained. Without the protection of Spiritual Power, even his sturdy body suffered from the blow!
Shi Reni’s strength was exceedingly fierce. Judging from the aura she exuded and the speed of her attacks, this creature was at the level of a desolate beast in the later stages of ridian Opening!
Desolate beasts of the later ridian Opening stage were very powerful. When Xiang Beifei followed Elder Luo on a training expedition last ti, he was chased all over by such a beast. Even though he could see the beast’s weaknesses, he was frustrated by the inability to break through its defenses.
Shi Reni was even more fierce than those desolate beasts. With Xiang Beifei’s only advantage over her nullified, she had nothing to fear.
"Do desolate beasts also practice cultivation?"
Xiang Beifei pondered to himself.
In his mory, the cultivation levels of desolate beasts actually had a ceiling; that is to say, a desolate beast, once mature, would remain at whatever cultivation level it had reached.
Take the Triangular Thunder Krait, for instance; they might not be formidable when born, but once they mature, they would naturally grow to the later stages of Qi-Controlling, unable to further advance.
Only through encountering fortuitous opportunities leading to mutations could they potentially break through to the ridian Opening phase. However, such mutations were rare, with only a select few special desolate beasts possibly undergoing such transformations.
And the Ghostly Visages around here varied in strength. The crybaby they encountered in the City of the Old Days was only at the early ridian Opening stage, not very strong, but the Ghost Mustaches here were different. Judging by the aura of their attacks, so tentacles were close to rivalling the middle stage of ridian Opening!
And the power displayed by Shi Reni’s attacks was a massive leap above that of the other Ghost Mustaches, exuding the terrifying presence only possessed by desolate beasts in the later stages of ridian Opening!
Does this imply that intelligent desolate beasts could also break through their own limits by cultivating?
At that mont, Shi Reni charged over again, the branch whistling through the air and slashing toward Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei, having been at a disadvantage from the first hit, imdiately leapt backward.
Whiz! Whiz!
With shrill cries emanating through the air, Shi Reni’s attacks ca swiftly, hardly giving Xiang Beifei a mont’s rest. The branch, in her grasp, was like a nimble serpent, relentlessly tearing at Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei recollected the burning breath soil, it transford into a powerful force striking directly at the branch!
Crack!
The branch was instantly shattered by his formidable force!
"Eh?"
Xiang Beifei was sowhat surprised.
Was this section of the branch actually so fragile?
Shi Reni had not protected this section of the branch with her demonic power!
If it had been him, and he wanted to use a branch as a weapon, he would also need to consider the branch’s capacity to endure. The first thing he would do, then, would be to cover the branch with Spiritual Power, enhancing its hardness so that it wouldn’t be so easily broken by an enemy’s slash.
Shi Reni was a desolate beast, emanating a strange and formidable demonic power, but as an intelligent beast, she should also understand that the branch could easily break, unlikely to be unaware of the need to cover the branch with demonic power.
In an instant, Xiang Beifei understood the reason!
"Unless, this creature also fears that water!"
That is to say, the stream was extrely strange, not only could it devour his Spiritual Power, but it could also devour Shi Reni’s demonic power!
This was why Shi Reni hadn’t used her late-stage ridian Opening demonic power to protect the branches.
And the branches, lacking the enhancent of Spiritual Power and demonic power, were still just ordinary branches, extrely fragile, just like those tree-n who could be chopped into firewood by powerful force!
At this mont, nurous tentacles had erged from Shi Reni’s back, each tentacle breaking off a branch, then coiling around the end of the branch, dipping the front of the branch in the stream, and then all aiming at Xiang Beifei.
This guy seed to care a lot about his appearance; even though he fought with his tentacles, he still looked like a normal person in the front, as if he was reluctant to destroy his frontal skin.
At this mont, Shi Reni looked like a bizarre fox monster with nurous tails, each tail mixed with countless branches, extrely odd.
Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!
Nurous branches flashed through the air, emitting shrill whistling sounds, lashing towards Xiang Beifei from all directions.
Xiang Beifei held his breath and focused on these branches, his body rapidly dodging, while in his hand the breath soil transford into a series of sharp long blades.
Breath soil was special; although he nurtured it with Spiritual Power every day, it was not a system item, nor was it soil condensed from Spiritual Power, so it wasn’t afraid of the stream’s devouring, therefore it was more than enough to cut off these branches.
Crack! Crack!
The sharp blades made from breath soil swiftly sliced through the air, leaving behind trails of yellow afterimages, chopping all the branches into pieces.
But Shi Reni’s speed and strength were both superior to Xiang Beifei’s. She had countless tentacles; if one coiled branch was cut off, she imdiately coiled up another one to dip in the stream. The forest here was full of branches, so there was never a shortage.
Even though Xiang Beifei dodged quickly, he still got hit quite a few tis.
"This way of passively taking hits won’t do."
Xiang Beifei chopped off the oncoming branches in front of him, tilted his body, and turned his gaze towards the stream. He imdiately rushed towards it.
The stream water was very peculiar; even spiritual power that fell on it would be devoured, so Xiang Beifei didn’t dare to touch the water with his hands directly. However, his breath soil could change into various shapes and wasn’t afraid of the water, which ant that the breath soil could be used to scoop water!
Swoosh!
The breath soil fell into the water, instantly becoming a big ladle, which then quickly closed up. It scooped up the water, Xiang Beifei crossed over the stream, hovered in the air, and then splashed the water from the breath soil directly out!
Splash!
Shi Reni was coiling branches to et him when she didn’t expect Xiang Beifei to pull such a move. With too many tentacles to dodge, she got splashed squarely with the stream water!
"Ah!"
Shi Reni’s face lost its color as the tentacles touched by the stream water quickly emitted puffs of smoke. The water was like so strong corrosive substance, corroding large holes into her tentacles!
She quickly retracted the corroded tentacles, looking at Xiang Beifei in shock and anger.
"I should have thought of this earlier. If this stream water doesn’t affect you, why wouldn’t you roll in it?" Xiang Beifei said.
The Ghost Whiskers tentacles were easily ignited by Xiang Beifei’s flas, but since the stream water here could suppress Xiang Beifei’s flas, it would make sense for Shi Reni to take a dip in the stream earlier, soaking her tentacles first, and then they would no longer fear Xiang Beifei’s flas.
But she only picked up a branch to dip in the water to deal with Xiang Beifei’s flas.
Shi Reni had thought of this, but she also dared not touch the stream water!
Xiang Beifei once again stretched the ladle made of breath soil into the stream, scooped up a large ladle of water, and then calmly asked, "Ever heard of the Water-Splashing Festival?" Enjoy new tales from
Splash!
He splashed the stream water at Shi Reni!
Because he couldn’t use Spiritual Power, he had no way to control the direction of the splashes, but as long as the force of the splash was strong enough, the water would disperse into fine mist, moving at high speed and covering a wide area!
"Damn it!"
Shi Reni saw the sudden spray of mist flying towards her and her complexion drastically changed, quickly retracting her tentacles.
But she had deployed too many tentacles and still hadn’t completely dodged; one segnt of tentacles got too drenched with stream water and was directly corroded through!
Looking very annoyed, Shi Reni imdiately severed that segnt of tentacle, and her tentacles quickly grew back out.
She finally dared not be negligent any longer since the current situation seed more like shooting herself in the foot.
Shi Reni had previously collected quite a bit of information on Xiang Beifei, knowing that his flas were difficult to deal with, so she planned to use the stream water here against him. At first, it had indeed worked out very well, but she hadn’t anticipated that Xiang Beifei would catch on to this and also directly use the stream water against her.
Especially considering that Xiang Beifei’s peculiar breath soil wouldn’t be devoured by the stream water; instead, it could beco a large ladle. A ladle scooping water was much more efficient than using branches to dip water, resulting in a significantly larger quantity!
"Let think, what’s the structure of a gun?"
Xiang Beifei recalled the system of Lu Zhiwei. Lu Zhiwei awakened the "Super Police System," a firearm expert, who once taught him about firearms knowledge.
"Learn by Analogy" quickly made him aware of the structure of various firearms, including—water guns!
Whoosh!
The breath soil rapidly transford, turning into a large water gun. The end of the gun morphed, turning into a large cauldron which sank into the stream. Then it closed up again, enveloping the stream water and directly converting into a big bag of water.
Xiang Beifei held the breath soil gun in his arms, aid it at Shi Reni, and asked with utmost seriousness, "How about a water fight?"
