Until the skill Soul Snatching Tiger of Big White also disappeared, the Health Points of Hook Snake had hardly decreased, leaving Ling Mo Xie in despair. This was simply impossible to fight.
"Hiss!" Hook Snake was unhurried, flicking its forked tongue and swinging its two split tails towards Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie quickly used the skill Fleeting Light, increasing his speed and narrowly dodging the attack.
However, what made Ling Mo Xie even more helpless was that Hook Snake was a snake, and snakes as Spirit Beasts were inherently fast. Even with the use of Fleeting Light, he could hardly outrun Hook Snake, which meant he could only keep running while being chased, making it difficult to unleash any skills.
Just moments ago, he had been teasing Feng Youlong, making a fool of him, and now it was his turn to be treated like a fool. Truly, karma came swiftly!
"Roar!" Big White also had no way to deal with this Hook Snake. As someone who relied on a single powerful move, after using the skill Soul Snatching Tiger, he had no other effective skills left. With the failure of Soul Snatching Tiger, he could only use minor interference skills against Hook Snake, while constantly being wary of not getting hit. Otherwise, with Big White's low Health Points, just two or three hits from Hook Snake would be enough to take him down.
"Hey, Chen Yan, aren't you going to help?" Hong Chi also stopped munching on his Candied Hawthorn, looking down at the calm Chen Yan and asking.
Clearly, he was no longer confident that Ling Mo Xie could handle this Hook Snake.
"With my status, how can I just intervene casually? Don't worry, let's observe a bit longer," Chen Yan replied, glancing at Hong Chi.
At this moment, on stage, Ling Mo Xie was almost at his wits' end. He had used nearly all his skills, and many with long cooldowns were no longer available. However, the damage dealt to Hook Snake was far from impressive; after such a long time, he had only managed to reduce its Health Points by twenty percent.
Although he had carefully dodged Hook Snake's attacks and had not been directly hit, the poison status had already stacked three times, causing his Health Points to drop rapidly. If it weren't for the fact that his Small Blood Pool hadn't been exhausted yet, he would have likely been dead by now.
Through this battle, Ling Mo Xie also realized that this Hook Snake, unlike many spirit snakes, was not adept at magic but rather preferred brute force attacks. The so-called Gou Snake Venom might not even be a spell but rather an innate ability of its kind. He had only seen it use one similar magical attack.
Looking at the Skill Panel, with Condensation Technique off cooldown, Ling Mo Xie did not hesitate and quickly cast it on Hook Snake, then paused to continuously throw skills at it.
"Glimpse of the Stunning Swan, Shattering the Sky, Shattering Stone, Astonishing Sky, Shocking Return to Ruins..." The skill set known as Stunning Four Swords was unleashed in rapid succession by Ling Mo Xie. The crowd watching below gasped in surprise: "Stunning Four Swords, it is said that once upon a time, Ling Liyun used this at the Menglan Conference. This... it seems like history is repeating itself! Back then, Ling Liyun won; what about today's Ling Mo Xie?"
"What? This is a spell from Ling Liyun?"
"It seems we are lucky today; we are about to witness something extraordinary..."
The atmosphere suddenly became lively. For many people, Ling Liyun had become a legend; stories about him always stirred excitement.
At this moment, Ling Mo Xie looked at the Skill Panel with some surprise.
"Eh? How did another skill appear? Did I remember it wrong?"
Ling Mo Xie gazed at the skill that came after Stunning Four Swords, his eyes filled with confusion, and his movements paused for a moment.
The name of that skill was Stunning Sword!
Ling Mo Xie didn't have time to think too much; the priority now was to deal as much damage as possible to the Hook Snake while it was still immobilized by the Condensation Technique. A series of previous attacks had already reduced the Hook Snake's Health Points to fifty percent.
"Stunning Sword!" Ling Mo Xie was only surprised for a moment when he saw this skill, then without further thought, he unleashed it on the Hook Snake.
What shocked Ling Mo Xie was that as soon as the skill was activated, a storm arose, and fierce winds swept countless Menglanhua swirling in the air. The sky turned dark and gloomy, with ominous clouds rolling in from who knows where. What had been a clear sky transformed into one shrouded in darkness almost instantly.
"Boom!" It sounded like thunder exploding beside him, leaving everyone stunned.
"What is happening? When Ling Liyun used Stunning Four Swords back in the day, there wasn't such a situation!"
"What is going on? What kind of spell did Ling Mo Xie use? While spells can change nature, it shouldn't be this exaggerated. Moreover, it's just a spell from the Separation Period; how could such an anomaly occur?"
At this moment, Ling Mo Xie recalled that Stunning Sword was an ultimate skill automatically derived by the system after he learned Stunning Four Swords. It required mastering all four skills of Stunning Four Swords to perfection before it could be used.
He had already perfected all four skills of Stunning Four Swords and had previously wondered why this ultimate skill hadn't appeared. It turned out that he needed to cast all four skills in succession for it to manifest.
Thinking of this, Ling Mo Xie felt a surge of excitement. Since it was an ultimate skill, it should at least take away thirty percent of the Hook Snake's health, right? Then victory would be within reach!
To elaborate on this thought process would take time; however, all of Ling Mo Xie's mental activities occurred in an instant.
After that thunderous boom, a dazzling light appeared, slicing through the thick dark clouds above like a sharp sword, shooting straight towards the immobilized Hook Snake. The overwhelming force caused the Three Great Masters watching from the side to change their expressions and feel alarmed.
All three were experts of the Tribulation Period and could naturally sense more than others. While others could only feel that the Sword Light was Not Bad, they couldn't comprehend how Not Bad it truly was. However, they could clearly perceive the immense power contained within that Sword Light.
That power was at least equivalent to the full-force strike of a late-stage practitioner of Combination!
After Yuan Ying comes Separation, Distraction, Combination, and then transcending tribulation. Ling Mo Xie was only at the early stage of Distraction; how could he possibly unleash a full-force strike of a late-stage Combination? This was simply defying the heavens!
Such an attack, even against the Three Great Masters, would likely take half their lives if they did not resist it intentionally!
The Sword Light had a slight blue glow, as if lightning flowed over it, constantly emitting small thunderous sounds as it pierced into the body of Hook Snake.
Hook Snake could naturally sense this immense threat and wanted to evade, but at that moment, Ling Mo Xie's Condensation Technique effect had not yet dissipated, leaving Hook Snake frozen in place and unable to move.
Even Ling Mo Xie looked shocked at the sword that seemed to have descended from the heavens. This... this was too exaggerated!
Although he knew that since it was an ultimate skill, it would definitely be impressive, he never expected it to be this impressive.
The Sword Light seemed as sharp as an extraordinary sword, easily piercing into Hook Snake's body as if cutting through tofu, splitting Hook Snake in half. Instantly, a foul-smelling blood gushed out, almost filling the entire Arena.
The stench brought Ling Mo Xie back to his senses. The Hook Snake had completely been severed into two halves. Its powerful vitality still caused it to twitch continuously, but it no longer posed any threat; it was merely struggling in its death throes.
The Sword Light had vanished, but everyone remained in a daze, staring at the scene in the Arena without uttering a word.
Finally, Hook Snake stopped moving. Ling Mo Xie felt several beams of Golden Light rising from his body that only he could see, accompanied by continuous notification sounds in his ears.
With a series of dings, Ling Mo Xie had leveled up by defeating a higher-level monster. He gained experience and leveled up seven times consecutively to reach level 130. According to the calculations of the Cultivation World, he also advanced a small tier and was now at mid-stage Distraction.
Big White had also participated in the battle and naturally gained Experience Points. Since it was a pet, it required significantly fewer Experience Points to level up than Ling Mo Xie and had already reached level 132, equivalent to late-stage Distraction.
As for the countless dropped treasures, Ling Mo Xie couldn't be bothered to look at anything below his standards. There was a pair of weapon hooks with blue quality and an attached skill: Kiss of the Hook Snake...
Since he didn't like or use hook-type weapons, Ling Mo Xie tossed them aside without a second thought; after all, he had just dropped a sword!
Hook Cloud: Blue Quality Level Requirement: 130. Attributes: Attack Power +50,000; Poison Attribute Attack +10,000; Critical Hit Rate +5%.
Attached Skills: Shadow Serpent, Dual Stars.
Shadow Serpent: After using this skill, summon the Hook Snake phantom to fight alongside you, lasting for half an hour. Cooldown Time: 24 hours.
Dual Stars: After using this skill, the damage dealt by the next attack is doubled. Cooldown Time: half an hour.
In addition to the weapon, Hook Snake generously offered its innate divine ability.
Skill Book: Gou Snake Venom
Gou Snake Venom: Quality: Blue. Skill Description: This skill is passive. After learning it, all attacks will inflict Gou Snake Venom, causing the target's Health Points to decrease by five thousand points per second, not stackable.
It was the non-stackable aspect that made Ling Mo Xie somewhat displeased. When using Hook Snake, it could clearly stack, which left him feeling a bit pale.
However, the system is absolute; Ling Mo Xie had no room to object. He decisively learned the Gou Snake Venom skill since it was passive and didn’t consume mana, adding an extra five thousand damage for free.
Meanwhile, Ling Mo Xie silently counted his spoils and stored Big White in the Pet Space. The onlookers below gradually came back to their senses, staring at Ling Mo Xie, who stood proudly on stage, and at the now motionless Hook Snake, which had been cut in half, still unable to believe what they were witnessing.
How did Ling Mo Xie defeat Hook Snake? Although they had seen everything unfold, they still felt confused. Was it really just that one sword strike?
This wasn’t just a matter of being extraordinary; this was sheer genius. Clearly at the early stage of Distraction, how could he unleash such a powerful attack?
Moreover, with such power, why didn’t he just kill that Hook Snake with one sword strike from the beginning instead of letting it chase him around for so long?
