Seeing the reemergence of the spirit beast, Liu Xing narrowed his eyes. He realized that the real spirit beast was the pale hand with a yellow eye in its palm. To kill it, Elder Xia Juetian needed to target this pale hand. Otherwise, it would regenerate a new body. Turning his head, he saw Xia Jueatian land in the crater full of snake remnants. As his feet touched the ground, he sprang toward the newly formed spirit beast as if he knew about its regenerated body.

Elder Xia soon appeared right above the newly regenerated spirit beast, his fist glowing golden as he tried to strike its new head. The spirit beast looked up. As the elder's fist drew closer to its face, its snake arm opened its maw and a blue wall suddenly materialized between the spirit beast and Elder Xia Juetian.

This blue wall looked almost transparent, as if it was made of compressed air and colored blue. For a moment, Liu Xing thought that the wall was fragile, but when the elder struck it with his fist and made a resounding sound, only cracks appeared around his fist.

Its left snake arm opened its mouth, and another thin blue wall suddenly materialized near the elder then moved like a flying blade aiming at the elder's neck. The Elder looked at it, turned his body, kicked the wall in front of him, and jumped into the sky, successfully dodging the flying blue wall. The two snake arms then danced, creating a rotating motion. Soon, the cracks in the wall in front of the spirit beast mended themselves, then it floated into the sky and rotated like a saw blade. The Spirit Beast smiled, its eyes showing a hint of arrogance, as if it knew it was going to win.

Seeing this, Liu Xing's heart raced so fast he felt it might explode at any moment. Even at a glance, this spirit beast was incredibly strong. Its ability to regenerate a new body after being destroyed made it hard to defeat, but after processing the information before him, Liu Xing knew this spirit beast was more dangerous than his initial assessment.

It could change its fighting style.

Most spirit beasts had abilities akin to bloodlines, and usually their fighting styles revolved around them. This spirit beast was the same at first. Its snake arms and legs had blades in their mouths, and each blade could shoot green orbs that seemed capable of corroding anything. But now it has an entirely different ability. The blue snakes could create some kind of wall and it could control how thick or thin the wall was, essentially creating walls for defense and blades for offense.

The spirit beast relentlessly generated more walls, some rotating while others remained static Each time the elder unleashed golden orbs at the Spirit Beast, a new wall would rise to intercept them, cracking under the impact but remaining unbroken.

Seeing this, Liu Xing assessed that the still-smirking spirit beast was actually winning. Its new fighting style was somewhat slow. The walls, while able to move freely in the air, didn't move as fast as Elder Xia Juetian. But each wall could withstand the elder's punches, and it created more walls every second, filling the entire devastated area with floating blue walls, making a maze that was hard for Elder Xia to traverse.

This fighting style was eerily suitable for combating Elder Xia, who, while impressive, was actually just using his punches, either up close or from a distance. Elder Xia's face grew increasingly angry, but Liu Xing could see several beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Elder Xia Juetian must have another trick, right?" Liu Xing muttered. He worried about the worst-case scenario unfolding.

As if Elder Xia had heard Liu Xing's question, the elder moved from left to right, using the blue walls as stepping stones. This way of moving was similar to Liu Xing's, and since there were so many walls, Elder Xia Juetian could move in three dimensions. Still, the sheer number of blue walls now approached almost a thousand. There weren't many gaps between walls, and if this continued, Elder Xia would be trapped.

"Wait a minute."

Liu Xing jumped high into the sky. Then, he summoned his shield right before gravity pulled him down and peeked below. Seeing the view below, Liu Xing licked his lips. Elder Xia Juetian wouldn't be trapped later; he was already trapped. Seeing from this height, he could see that those almost thousand walls were slowly converging around Elder Xia Juetian, creating a prison that would ensure the elder couldn't escape.

Liu Xing could see a giant golden tiger manifested inside the blue prison. Some of the walls were actually destroyed, but not enough to make a difference. That tiger's punch attack had looked so strong before, but now it felt like throwing a bucket of water onto a burning house.

Liu Xing's heart beat faster and faster. He worried about Elder Xia and was wary of the spirit beast. That spirit beast was supremely dangerous. It could adapt to its enemy, as if it had multiple abilities that could be used against certain opponents.

He thought that these blue walls almost looked like a technique strengthened by a bloodline, which, if true, meant that the spirit beast might have taken this ability from another cultivator, suggesting it could steal bloodlines and use them.

Liu Xing knew that anything that could become stronger by killing its enemies and stealing aspects from them was dangerous. Its power progression would be exponential. That spirit beast needed to die!

Liu Xing aimed his gun at the spirit beast, willed himself to be invisible, and descended from the sky. As he fell, Liu Xing's brain worked hard to come up with a solution. Of course, Liu Xing couldn't win against it. He was too weak in cultivation. But Elder Xia wasn't. He had enough power to kill it. All the elder needed was a chance.

As the blue prison made of thousands of walls drew closer, Liu Xing inhaled deeply. He was invisible now, his presence thin, and he could move stealthily. But what could he do to give Elder Xia a chance?

Liu Xing landed on one of the blue walls. As his feet touched it, he felt a kind of elasticity, as if the blue wall was made of some kind of jelly. Feeling this, he understood why it was so hard for Elder Xia to destroy it. These blue walls could probably absorb shock.

Looking down, Liu Xing saw Elder Xia desperately moving around. His left hand was now only a stump with blood gushing out, but before Liu Xing could become more worried, Elder Xia flicked his hand. A yellow paper talisman appeared in his hand, and as he stuck the yellow talisman to his stump, his flesh began to regenerate, creating a new arm. As he regenerated, several pills appeared in his palm, and the elder ate all of them. They were probably pills to regenerate his qi as well as strengthen himself. It seemed the elder had many pills and talismans that could aid him.

Liu Xing moved silently from wall to wall. Each time he used a wall as a stepping stone, he glanced at the still-smirking spirit beast. Its two blue snake arms danced in the air, but it didn't seem to notice him.

"All right," Liu Xing said while standing atop the wall. This prison almost looked like a sphere, and he was now right on top of it. Right below him, the elder unleashed several tiger punches to destroy some of the walls, giving him room to move and destroy some of the rotating saw-like walls. Curiously, all of these attacks were unleashed using his left hand, while his right hand glowed. It didn't shine too brightly, but Liu Xing could feel the immense strength from his fist. It seemed the elder was trying to gather strength to destroy all of these walls, and possibly the spirit beast, in just one attack.

Liu Xing activated his lightning blade. "Let's see how strong these walls really are."

Since the wall almost felt like jelly, he thought that perhaps while it could absorb impact, it might be weak against a blade. After all, the spirit beast had changed its fighting style to counter Elder Xia Juetian's techniques, not him. Inhaling deeply, Liu Xing tried to pierce the wall where his foot rested with a little lightning dagger. When the tip of his lightning blade touched it, Liu Xing felt a small bit of resistance, but ultimately, his tiny blade successfully pierced through smoothly.

Liu Xing glanced at the spirit beast. It was still smirking, its eyes focused on Elder Xia Juetian. It seemed unaware that one of its walls had been successfully stabbed.

A ferocious grin spread across Liu Xing's face as a simple plan formed in his mind.
