Chapter 1195 - 588: Termination_4

[Vortex Slash].

The sharpness was significantly inferior to [Ash Fall], but under Xia Nan’s continuous attacks, the Shark Beast’s physical condition had drastically declined, and the blood glow covering its body was weakened again due to the impact wave.

With one sword strike, Xia Nan managed to slice off a large chunk of the creature’s calf, causing it to stagger twice from the intense pain.

He took the opportunity to strike two more times wherever he could reach, while moving his steps to evade the incoming attacks and leaving the original place.

"Huff... Huff..."

A brief interlude in the intense battle process.

His heavy breathing accompanied by ash and sparks.

Standing in a slightly distant empty space, Xia Nan spat out a mouthful of blood, using this moment to allow his sore and exhausted muscles to recover slightly, relying on the residual fire state’s percentage-based recovery effect to replenish his stamina.

On the other side, the Shark Beast seemed to have entered some kind of berserk state due to his repeated impacts.

Relentlessly moving forward, like a train glowing with blood, roaring fiercely as it charged.

The duration of [Embers Resonance] was about to end, knowing that survival hinged on these critical rounds.

Xia Nan took a deep breath, turning his wrist and holding [Green Pine] backwards, charging towards the direction of the Shark Beast, transforming into a Flame Wolf phantom as he rushed forward.

His agility and flexibility, already excellent in the residual fire state, were further enhanced.

Exerting only a slight force, he changed his original head-on collision course with the Shark Beast.

He leaped lightly during the sprint, using Gravity Control to carefully adjust the height while maintaining his body balance.

He tilted his body in a rather aggressive posture.

—[Vortex Slash]!

The sharp tragic arc light flashed briefly.

Xia Nan’s body rotated in mid-air three hundred and sixty degrees, landing alongside ash and sparks.

Behind him, the Shark Beast’s left arm flew high, and its massive body rolled over due to intense pain and inertia.

Even in the residual fire state, such high-intensity combat had already pushed Xia Nan’s body to its limit.

Grabbing every opportunity advantageous to himself as much as possible.

A wolf’s howl, echoing across the coastline unknown times before, cried out again.

The Winter Wolf, whose mane shook with flame light, pounced violently towards the fallen Shark Beast.

[Teeth Hunting] + [Vortex Slash]!

This battle skill combination, repeated countless times, inspired by experiences in the Secret Realm, finally achieved some qualitative change in the current intense battle.

Half-transparent characters seemed to flash in front of his eyes, but Xia Nan couldn’t possibly be distracted to check.

The brown wooden Wolf Teeth, covered in molten flame light, seemed about to fall, while the Blood Skin Shark Beast fiercely counterattacked, sensing the scent of death.

As it rolled to lie on the ground, its remaining right arm’s muscles were flooded with blood, its claw formed a fist, aiming at the airborne Xia Nan.

All his trump cards exhausted.

Aware that if hit head-on by such a punch, he probably wouldn’t have another chance to turn the tables.

Victory or defeat hung in the balance of this moment.

Buzz—

The world before his eyes turned black and white in an instant, [Heart-drawing Vision] activated!

His spiritual power consumed at an exaggerated speed, until he found the most densely rippling spot within the Gravity World.

Enduring nearly brain-splitting pain, Xia Nan used all his willpower to manipulate gravity, blood seeping from the corner of his eye.

"Boom-bang!"

Gravity tugged at the Shark Beast’s wrist, elbow joint, and the upper side of the shoulder, the three hardest places to exert force, sharply downward!

The Shark Beast’s beefy arm, ready to strike, seemed to be drawn irresistibly by some deep-seated force, firmly anchored to the ground.

Half-transparent characters flashed again.

Knowing that such manipulation of gravity couldn’t last long, Xia Nan, having already made power moves in mid-air, relied on his strong physical quality to make a sudden halt.

Then he swung to throw.

His [Green Pine] wooden sword, resembling a spear, was hurled with full force towards the Shark Beast’s arm.

The blade, retaining molten heat, precisely penetrated the gaps between skin, muscle, bones, and bone joints.

Pinning the Shark Beast’s remaining right arm firmly to the ground.

Relieving his blood-seeping eye corner of the gravity control, Xia Nan, having over-consumed spiritual power, nearly fainted on the spot.

His body followed suit, kneeling on the chest of the Shark Beast lying on the ground.

With its left arm sliced off, right arm pinned down, the fierce demon trapped in despair roared as it crazily lunged to bite Xia Nan with its bloody maw.

[Ash Fall] lodged deep into the enemy’s shoulder bone, [Green Pine] used to control the Shark Beast’s arm, leaving Xia Nan with no main weapon, he fought instinctively, with no thoughts in his mind.

His left hand subconsciously brushed his waist, and the Crystal Knife [Miju] from Sheep Horn Town was inverted into his palm.

Without any trace of mercy, the blade plunged instantly into the Shark Beast’s right eye socket.

Buried in full, leaving only the hilt visible.

"Roar!!!"

A heartrending scream echoed along the coast.

Maintaining his posture of kneeling on the Shark Beast’s chest, Xia Nan remained entirely in combat stance, his pitch-black eyes swirling with flame had no hint of emotional fluctuation.

His right arm raised high.

Fists clenched, wrapped in [Heavy Tide].

Striking down.

"Pow!"

Fist met the Shark Beast’s cheek violently, the damage inflicted by [Heavy Tide] made its head shake fiercely, consciousness dissipating.

Lifting his arm again, clenching his fist.

Striking down.

"Pow!"

The crisp sound of bones breaking within its flesh could be heard, along with the intense collision between fist and face, consciousness entirely hammered away, causing the right arm that struggled under the pinned wooden sword to twitch.

But it wasn’t dead yet.

Ignoring the blood flowing from his right hand and the skin torn from the violent collision on his knuckle surface.

For the third time, Xia Nan raised his arm.

Gathering strength, striking down.

"Pow!"

"..."

"Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!"

The sound of bones colliding through flesh reverberated endlessly on the silent coast.

Sorrowful flames and ashes quietly dissipated.

When Xia Nan, driven by fighting instinct, continued his punches in a daze, raising his arm once more.

The intense pain from his right hand brought his consciousness back to reality.

His dark eyes shifted.

Glancing at his raised right fist, its skin and flesh were completely worn, exposing the white bones beneath.

His gaze lowered.

The Blood Skin Shark Beast’s body still lay where it was.

Motionless.

On its shoulder, where the head should have been perched.

All that remained was a large pile of flesh, mixed with bone shards as if stirred by something, almost glued to the ground.
