If it wasn’t for Yan Liqiang’s tough body and his Golden Bell Divine Protection Technique which had been cultivated to a decent realm, that attack just now would have broken many bones in his body and knocked him out in the water.
Although the terrifying leech had an enormous body, it wasn’t sluggish and was abnormally nimble in water.
After it sent Yan Liqiang flying with its tail, it wiggled up and down and made a beeline for Yan Liqiang.
Yan Liqiang looked at his Horned Python Bow that was slowly falling in the water, but didn’t rush over to pick it up since bow and arrows were ineffective in an underwater fight. Besides, he had also run out of black arrows.
Damn, looking at the terrifying leech charging toward him, Yan Liqiang realized that the arrow he shot just now didn’t seem to cause any harm to it. The wound he made on its body closed up in just the blink of an eye, leaving no trace behind. The arrow he fired just now was like a needle piercing through a watermelon. Once taken out, not even the pinhole was visible…
At a time like this when there was no use begging, asking for help, or even running, Yan Liqiang was left with no choice but to put up a desperate fight!
He clenched his teeth and immediately pulled out his Black Scale shortsword, then slashed toward the terrifying leech that was rushing toward him.
When the sharp Black Scale Sword came in contact with the leech’s body, it felt like it was met with a piece of thick and extremely elastic rubber. Even with Yan Liqiang’s strength, the Black Scale Sword couldn’t sink further than half a foot deep because the wound on the leech’s body instantly closed up, causing his shortsword to be stuck in it. The leech then enveloped Yan Liqiang’s body from all directions like a huge meat blanket or a moving wall. It wound itself tightly around Yan Liqiang and rapidly pulled him to the bottom of the lake.
The force coming from the leech’s body was simply terrifying. Yan Liqiang had always thought that no one could match his strength until today. When the huge leech started coiling its body up, he felt as though he was being shackled up by metal chains. Not only that, but the metal chains were winding themselves tighter and tighter around him. It made him like he was a peanut thrown into an oil press machine. Every cell in his body was being crushed.
Facing enormous pressure like this, the only thing Yan Liqiang could do was to curl up. He hugged both of his knees and relied on his powerful leg strength to withstand the terrifying force that the huge leech was exerting on him underwater.
If it wasn’t Yan Liqiang but another ordinary Martial Grandmaster in this situation, he probably wouldn’t have been able to persevere for even a second given his strength and physical endurance.
Seeing that Yan Liqiang was immobilized, the leech’s scary huge sucker that looked like a dark abyss started moving toward Yan Liqiang’s head.
At such a critical moment, Yan Liqiang unleashed his fury. He clenched his teeth and forcibly pulled out the Black Scale Sword that was tightly stuck inside the leech’s body. He then plunged it into the scary sucker and gave it a hard twirl.
A big glob of blue blood sprayed out from the huge leech’s mouth, instantly turning the lake water around it into a strange blue color. Its terrifying body started twisting as it rolled in the water. Without waiting for Yan Liqiang to continue stirring, the sucker suddenly swallowed the Black Scale Sword along with Yan Liqiang’s arm.
Yan Liqiang immediately felt his arm being sucked in by a strong force. Enormous pressure was exerted on his entire arm. It was impossible to move his arm and the Black Scale he was holding. In just the blink of an eye, Yan Liqiang was left with only one usable arm.
With only his left hand, Yan Liqiang performed the Eight Extremities Fist technique and landed a series of powerful blows on the leech’s body.
BAM, BAM, BAM…!
The sounds were like muffled drum beats. The mountain-splitting force of the Eight Extremities Fist technique that bombarded the leech’s body didn’t have much effect on it, other than tickling it.
Before Yan Liqiang could get another few punches in, he suddenly felt a great tremor in his dantian. The vital Qi hidden in the depths of his dantian suddenly churned like a waterspout and was out of control. It surged toward Yan Liqiang’s arm and got sucked into the terrifying leech’s mouth.
Yan Liqiang’s expression immediately contorted. He didn’t expect the leech to not suck his blood, but the vital Qi in his body after it latched onto him.
While the huge leech latched onto Yan Liqiang and sucked out the vital Qi in his body, it rushed toward the bottom of the lake. Amid a pile of rocks in the depths of the lake, a huge black hole appeared before Yan Liqiang.
This damn thing wasn’t planning on bringing him back as a snack, right?
The vital Qi in his body was coursing rapidly and Yan Liqiang couldn’t even move. He might still be able to persist for now, but if the leech kept on latching onto him, he would eventually drown even if he didn’t get eaten by it.
This was an unprecedented moment of life and death to Yan Liqiang. In this situation, he had to come up with every possibility of survival.
If the Eight Extremities Fist Technique didn’t work on the huge leech, then he should change to another technique.
In just a split moment, Yan Liqiang opened up his left fist into a palm. He kept his five fingers close together as his palm suddenly became translucent and glowed white. A powerful sword aura emitted through the palm of his hand. At this very moment, Yan Liqiang exhibited the Divine Sword Sect’s treasured ‘Fusion Sword Technique’, an ultimate technique that could turn a palm into a sword. If any Elders from the Divine Sword Sect were here, they would definitely exclaim in shock at the sight of Yan Liqiang’s hand.
Yan Liqiang jabbed hard with his left hand, penetrating his hand all the way up to his elbow into the huge leech’s body. This caused the huge leech to again barf up globs of blue blood in the water. However, in just a flash, the wound in its body instinctively closed up again.
Before Yan Liqiang could make a few more jabs, the huge leech’s body coiled a few more rounds before another huge sucker appeared before him and latched onto his other arm.
Yan Liqiang was completely immobile now.
An intense pain shot up his right wrist before Yan Liqiang felt the veins on his left hand being cut by a sharp knife. The blood coursing through his veins immediately came gushing out.
One of the suckers was sucking Yan Liqiang’s vital Qi while another started sucking out his blood…
Yan Liqiang, whose ability to control was extraordinary, contracted the muscles on his arm and instantly closed off the veins in his left arm to restrict blood flow. Even so, Yan Liqiang could still feel the blood in his entire body going to his left hand due to the powerful suction. The rushing blood broke through his control over his veins and gushed into the scary sucker.
In just the space of a few breaths, Yan Liqiang’s face turned blue and waves of dizziness started hitting him.
Is this how I’m going to die?
Die in a leech’s mouth and be sucked into a dry corpse?
No, no! I don’t want to die! Not here in a leech’s mouth!
Yan Liqiang yelled indignantly in his heart…
But I can’t move right now! What should I do?! What should I do…?!
Another intense wave of dizziness hit him and he was suddenly seeing black. Yan Liqiang knew that in the moment between life and death, only death would await him if he failed to find ways to cope with the situation before him within a short amount of time!
Yet, he wasn’t able to move his body at all! What should he do? What else could he do?
Before another more intense dizziness hit, Yan Liqiang recalled a voice in his consciousness. It was back when he tried to make a human with the Heavenly Stone last year. After failing to do so, he had a conversation with Fu Guang on the value of the human body.
…
“…Within the vast universe and space, human is one of the very few high-ranking seals in existence. In order to activate the seal of life for humans, the energy required is beyond your imagination!”
…
“…The value of a person’s body is beyond imagination. To many beings that are beyond your imagination, the human body is the real treasure of the universe.”
…
“The human body is valuable because it is one of the very few species in the whole universe that can evolve and attain the highest realm of life…”
…
“A human body most suited for cultivation among all the species in the universe…”
…
The words flashed through Yan Liqiang’s mind. Then all of a sudden, a brilliant idea flashed through his mind during the desperate moment. Without thinking, he summoned the vital Qi in his dantian, pushed it all into his arm, and channeled it into the huge leech.
When the huge leech was sucking him like crazy, Yan Liqiang instinctively tried to control his vital Qi to stop it from being sucked out of his dantian. Both forces were like playing a tug of war with each other. However, Yan Liqiang was now sending the vital Qi in his dantian into the huge leech’s mouth. He was going to let it suck all it wanted. Even if it wouldn’t, Yan Liqiang would forcibly pour it in…
GO ON, GET ALL YOU WANT…!
Yan Liqiang snarled in his heart!
This will decide whether I’ll die or live…!
