At this moment, Qin Chuan told Yu Qing not to attack. He quickly unleashed forty-nine strikes, no more, no less, in a very short time, because any slower and it would be useless.
Actually, Qin Chuan had previously had the urge to ignore him, because Tai Hou hadn't revealed the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon's trump card, nor had he offered any way to counter it.
They were partners; this was the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon's trump card, not his own. It wasn't hard to guess his intentions if he didn't say so.
However, he couldn't worry about that now. This man had to live, otherwise killing the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon wouldn't be easy, and he and Yu Qing would even face great danger.
So there was no other way; Tai Hou had to live, after all, the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon still had three lives.
Qin Chuan interrupted the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon's attack, and Tai Hou let out a long sigh of relief, his face pale. This indicated that the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon's trump card must be extremely terrifying.
Interrupted from its trump card, the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent fell silent. It possessed intelligence; it knew the opponent would weaken here, and its trump card had been repeatedly countered.
This meant the opponent knew its trump card and how to counter it. Therefore, the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent was already considering retreat, knowing it couldn't defeat its opponent without a doubt.
Since its opponent had come, it had a high chance of victory, and it had already lost three lives, leaving only three, a painful loss.
Looking at the dragon baby, the treasure so close at hand, the absolute treasure among treasures, for the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent, this dragon baby was the ultimate treasure, a treasure that could elevate it to the heavens in one step.
Unwilling to accept defeat, but unable to win, it was driven by greed. In such a situation, the choice was difficult; the greater the risk, the greater the reward.
The mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent could also sense that it still had a chance to devour the dragon baby, but it also risked perishing here.
It's like gambling; once you've lost, it's hard to stop as long as you still have money. You have to lose everything, be bankrupt, and be heavily in debt before you regret it, but you still won't understand.
At this moment, the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent was truly unwilling to give up. To gain a huge reward, it had to take risks. It still had three lives left, having already lost three. If it could devour that little dragon, it could recover all of its lives—more than a dozen—and its strength would greatly increase, allowing it to transform…
The mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent ultimately didn't leave. This time, it was very cautious, stalling for time. If it could hold them off for a day, it would succeed.
Furthermore, it had to use its trump card effectively, without letting the opponent interrupt or wasting it. It had to force the opponent into disarray, to make them take the initiative to attack, to make them panic.
After a stalemate, Taihou finally attacked, but the incredibly strong mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent tightly protected its weaknesses, no longer exposing them to the blind.
The dragon babies' attacks on other parts of the serpent had no real damage.
Taihou panicked. This couldn't go on; if things continued like this, they would escape soon. But what to do now?
Qin Chuan frowned as well. This giant creature had suddenly become clever, but Qin Chuan wasn't in a hurry, continuing his attacks one after another.
The power of the world allowed his attacks to grow stronger and stronger. Now, even hitting areas that weren't the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent's weak points made the giant uncomfortable.
The creature that the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent had initially disregarded had now become its greatest threat. This couldn't continue.
Roar!
After a deafening roar, the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent summoned seven smaller snakes around it. These were called smaller snakes only in comparison to the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent.
Each of these seven smaller snakes was twenty meters long, some entirely emerald green, some jet black and shiny, some golden, some fiery red, and some azure blue as ice. They circled around, and whenever Qin Chuan attacked, one of the smaller snakes would attack him, and they could even block his attacks.
Not only that, Qin Chuan felt his momentum being weakened.
This surprised Qin Chuan. This ability was incredibly powerful. Qin Chuan's abilities were unique; he had almost never encountered anything that could weaken his aura or strength.
The small snake's weakening was obvious, and its resilience was strong. It was a small, earth-yellow snake, the Earth Serpent.
This mutated seven-headed demonic dragon snake was truly not to be underestimated. Previously, it had underestimated Qin Chuan and his companions, not taking them seriously at all. If it had treated them as a formidable enemy from the beginning, it wouldn't have lost three lives so quickly.
The stalemate was disadvantageous for Qin Chuan and his group, but the current situation was far from optimistic.
Qin Chuan was also trying to find a solution. The "World's Might" technique was a divine skill, but it didn't increase indefinitely; it was also dependent on one's cultivation level. Although it could increase as long as one could withstand the attack,
there was a time limit. Within a certain timeframe, this time also increased with cultivation level.
Currently, it generally lasted about half an hour, and this time was limited. In a battle between experts, victory or defeat was decided in an instant, in just a few moments.
However, the "Great Power of the World" technique is meant to help the weak overcome the strong, provided one can withstand attacks and hold out. Therefore, "Great Power of the World" is a special, almost divine, skill. Many people consider it completely useless
because the opponent doesn't give you time to build up your strength. If you can't withstand attacks and hold your ground, "Great Power of the World" is utterly ineffective.
For Qin Chuan, it's a divine skill, but two quarters of an hour have already passed, requiring a reshuffling, or rather, a reset.
Reaching his peak and failing to strike the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon's vital points is useless; although he can make the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon scream,
he can't inflict serious injury. "Great Power of the World" actually has profound implications. Within a certain timeframe, the damage of each attack increases.
This means that the difference in damage between attacking a thousand times and two thousand times in half an hour is enormous.
Therefore, its essence lies in speed; as long as you're fast enough, the output will be like a raging storm.
Qin Chuan attacked again, using the Forged Divine Sword Hammer—this one move, used repeatedly, faster and faster. This move is one Qin Chuan has practiced countless times, already mastered through practice.
His level of skill was high, but Qin Chuan wanted to continue improving his speed. The great path is simple; he needed to constantly break through limits and turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Qin Chuan wasn't trying to kill the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent on his own. Not only was it impossible, but he hadn't even considered it. He simply wanted to hone his skills
. "First, cut off its black head. One person should hold it back, and the other two should work together to attack the black serpent's head. Don't hit its vital spot; that's useless," Tai Hou said at this moment.
Sure enough, Qin Chuan had already guessed that Tai Hou definitely had a way.
