237: Easy instant kill

It was a phantom, still a phantom! Everyone was terrified.

It turned out that Legisamon had already left, and what remained was merely a phantom.

A phantom that no one could distinguish between real and fake.

A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in their hearts; the disparity in strength between the two sides was simply too great.

If it weren't to extract the secret of the treasure chest, Legisamon might have seized it at the very first opportunity.

The only thing that everyone couldn't understand was why Legisamon's strength was so formidable.

While Legisamon was strong in Las City, he wasn't strong to such a desperate extent.

Tiger King Farm clearly didn't have many resources, and most of them were prioritized for the Tiger King.

Under such resource-scarce conditions, Legisamon still possessed such strength, which truly made the combatants feel a sense of despair.

Thinking of this, Ismail murmured, "Perhaps we are utterly ignorant of the Tiger King's power."

"As mortals, no matter how hard we try, we can never glimpse things beyond our comprehension."

"Just like that giant beast from the cosmos once was."

Thinking of this, Ismail felt a pang of sadness.

She suddenly realized that she and Lin Tianwei might no longer be on the same level of existence.

This battle for the Alpha Gene ultimately concluded with Legisamon, under Lin Tianwei's command, achieving an overwhelming victory.

He merely made a move in advance, yet effortlessly reaped the Alpha Gene that countless people yearned for.

What capabilities does the Alpha Gene possess, and what changes can it bring to the situation on Blue Star?

Everything will only be known once the Alpha Gene comes into Lin Tianwei's hands.

However, there is still one more thing that needs to be done right now.

Thinking of this, Ismail gathered her spirits and cheered up, saying to Long Luo and Tarot De, who were already surrounded:

"Since you two have come, please be our guests at the Bruno Institute for a while."

"Otherwise, if others knew I neglected my guests, they might think America doesn't understand the etiquette of hospitality."

Exchanging glances, Long Luo and Tarot De both showed a wry smile.

Even though they knew this was a trap, they had no choice but to attend.

The only thing that could be confirmed was that both should be temporarily out of mortal danger.

After all, the Alpha Gene had already been taken by the Tiger King, and they represented the powerful China and Bear Country, respectively.

Compared to direct killing, taking them captive was clearly more in America's interest.

At least a substantial ransom could be demanded from the countries behind them.

—

In Lake Siouxie Anne.

Although Lin Tianwei possessed a Water Combat Ability of an extraordinary level,

his body was still structured like a land creature, making it very unsuitable for exerting force underwater.

This situation also made it difficult for him to exert his full strength underwater.

One-tenth of his strength—this might be the best phrase to describe Lin Tianwei's current combat power.

Watching the surging Water Monster approaching his direction, Lin Tianwei's eyes showed no sign of tension.

Although his combat power underwater was only one-tenth, for a small Water Monster, it was simply an easy matter to handle.

Though the 'small Water Monster' in Lin Tianwei's words was clearly a terrifying creature even larger than his own body.

Whoosh!

With the rapid movement of its four limbs, the Water Monster's body became like a sharp sword, quickly approaching Lin Tianwei's position.

Ten kilometers.

One kilometer.

Three hundred meters!

Three hundred meters? This was the Water Monster's optimal attacking range.

The Water Monster had already prepared for attack when it was about to approach Lin Tianwei's position.

The power in its body instantly erupted, and its slender neck rapidly shot towards Lin Tianwei's location.

A metallic mouth full of Sharp Teeth suddenly launched an attack just as the Water Monster's neck was about to reach Lin Tianwei's position.

It took a fierce bite towards Lin Tianwei's body.

It intended to teach this strange monster, who dared to invade its territory, a lesson.

Although the opponent had a physique no less formidable than its own, the Water Monster was not afraid in the slightest.

In the years it had grown, it had seen countless four-legged land creatures.

They even possessed larger and stronger bodies than itself.

But once they were dragged into the water, they would no longer have the strength to resist.

They could only struggle in vain, eventually becoming its food.

This strange creature before its eyes was undoubtedly also a land creature.

Although the Water Monster was very curious why the opponent was not restricted by the lake water like ordinary land creatures.

Struggling due to lack of oxygen.

It even swam steadily into the deep-water area.

But the Water Monster was not afraid in the slightest.

It still had a trump card.

Its extraordinary Water Flow Control allowed it to unleash at least ten times its power in the water.

It had a natural advantage even against creatures larger than itself.

Not to mention this monster, which was slightly smaller than itself.

No sooner said than done.

With the aid of the water current, the Water Monster burst forth with terrifying speed.

So fast it was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, it took a bite towards Lin Tianwei.

With the Water Monster's terrifying strength and Sharp Teeth, if Lin Tianwei were bitten, he would surely end up with torn flesh.

However, this also required the Water Monster to actually bite Lin Tianwei.

The Water Monster's seemingly extremely fast sneak attack, under Lin Tianwei's extraordinary Vision Field, appeared comically slow, like a slow-motion scene.

His tail gently swirled, and propelled by the water current, Lin Tianwei's body made a slight displacement.

Precisely, it perfectly avoided the Water Monster's attack.

The Water Monster never expected its attack to miss, and it was momentarily stunned.

Immediately after, it controlled its neck, as Flexible as a long snake,

attempting to quickly turn its head and launch another attack on Lin Tianwei.

However, it was still a bit too naive.

How could the battle-hardened Lin Tianwei let go of such a good attacking opportunity?

Want to bite him?

Then let's see whose teeth are sharper!

Even underwater, Lin Tianwei's speed was not a whit slower than the Water Monster's.

His immense power made even the water currents retreat.

Crack.

With a crisp sound, Lin Tianwei's teeth bit fiercely into the Water Monster's neck.

It never imagined that its seemingly foolproof sneak attack not only failed,

but instead, Lin Tianwei seized the opportunity and hit its vital spot.

How sharp were Lin Tianwei's teeth? Even the Water Monster's neck, covered with hard scales, could not resist in the slightest.

They easily pierced into the Water Monster's slender neck.

Colorless, transparent blood gushed from the wound; in just the first round of the fight, the Water Monster was severely wounded.

Oww~~~~

The Water Monster cried out in pain and immediately struggled with all its might.

However, it found that its terrifying and previously invincible strength was now useless.

It was firmly clamped by Lin Tianwei's Sharp Teeth, unable to break free at all.

Accompanying an angry roar, the lake water also began to churn.

This was the Water Monster's ability, an extraordinary Water Flow Control.

Naturally, unable to break free from Lin Tianwei's restraint with physical strength alone, it could only activate its Talent ability.

In an instant, the water that had enveloped Lin Tianwei transformed into his enemy.

Not only did it begin to gradually solidify, attempting to restrict Lin Tianwei's movements,

but it also turned into the Water Monster's weapon, attacking every corner of Lin Tianwei's body.

Especially the relatively vulnerable areas, which became the main targets of the lake water's attack.

Lin Tianwei, immersed in the lake water, had no possibility of dodging at all.

He could only passively endure this attack belonging to the Water Monster.

Can't avoid it? Can't escape?

Then use offense to replace defense!

A fierce glint flashed in Lin Tianwei's eyes, and he thought to himself that it was time to end this boring fight.

Spending too long dealing with such a useless creature that only dared to hide underwater would only tarnish his reputation.

Moreover, to still try to escape after being bitten in the neck was simply wishful thinking.

With a surge of strength in his mouth, Lin Tianwei effortlessly bit through the Water Monster's neck.

Although this snake-like neck was flexible enough, once caught by an enemy, it was also incredibly fragile.

In contrast, the Water Monster's ridiculous attacks on Lin Tianwei felt like a massage, having no effect whatsoever.

The difference in attack power between the two was simply too great.

The victory was decided!

Although the Water Monster had a bizarre appearance, looking as if it had drunk too much magical water,

it was, after all, a carbon-based life form, adhering to the most basic biological laws.

Once it lost its head, it basically had no chance of survival.

Unless it could reattach its head in an extremely short amount of time.

Unfortunately, how could Lin Tianwei give it such an opportunity?

For this arrogant creature, who dared to challenge him, to live one more second would be a desecration of himself.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei opened his mouth again.

He bit down on the severed end of the Water Monster's neck.

It was time to savor this delicious meal.

As the Water Monster's primary attacking method, its neck had undergone extensive training, and its texture was Tenacity and chewy when eaten.

Combined with its long, strip-like shape, eating it gave Lin Tianwei a feeling similar to eating spicy strips from his past.

Bite after bite, the Tiger couldn't stop.

The Water Monster was indeed the Lord of the Forbidden Zone of Lake Siouxie Anne; even without its head, and even as its head was being devoured by Lin Tianwei, it was not completely dead.

Its body, following instinct, continued to attack Lin Tianwei.

Its flattened limbs, usually more like oars for swimming, now, as if a cornered dog, transformed into the Water Monster's offensive weapons.

Again and again, they powerfully struck Lin Tianwei's body.

Even the nearby lake water became more agitated, starting to boil.

As if this were not a lake but some terrifying liquid that had been ignited.

Slap, slap, slap... The Water Monster's powerful limbs continuously struck Lin Tianwei's body, but they couldn't budge him at all.

The perfectly balanced force felt like the most skilled masseur, making Lin Tianwei feel quite comfortable instead.

For a moment, he was even too lazy to bother with the Water Monster's body.

He just took bite after bite, concentrating on eating his spicy strip, savoring its deliciousness.

However, this enjoyable experience for Lin Tianwei was a terrifying nightmare for the Water Monster.

Although its head was separated from its body, it still maintained terrifying vitality.

Not only had it not lost consciousness at all, but it was also incredibly clear-headed, able to distinctly see everything around it.

The terrifying scene of its own body being devoured and turned into food by Lin Tianwei, bit by bit.

However, all of this was nothing but torment for the Water Monster, a torment that went deep into its bones.

Feeling the agony from its neck, the Water Monster wished it could die immediately.

It now deeply regretted having such powerful vitality, which meant it had to endure torment for a much longer time.

It also regretted why it had been so foolish as to be the first to stand up and defy Lin Tianwei's authority.

If not for that, it wouldn't have to face this terrifying great demon king.

Thinking of this, the Water Monster even gave up resisting, no longer struggling, only praying that Lin Tianwei would eat faster.

That way, its suffering would be a little less.

The Water Monster's thought was correct; if it hadn't courted death, Lin Tianwei wouldn't have bothered with it at all.

Although Lin Tianwei was skilled in Water Combat and possessed extraordinary Water Combat Talent,

in both his lives, he disliked being fully submerged in water.

Ultimately, the Water Monster's foolishness sealed its fate, making it Lin Tianwei's food.

Lin Tianwei's eating speed was very fast.

Much faster than the Water Monster imagined; before long, he reached the Water Monster's remaining head.

Facing the impending death, the Water Monster showed no fear, but rather a look of relief.

He was finally going to die... Crack, with a crisp sound, Lin Tianwei easily crushed the Water Monster's head.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."

"Ding, Talent extraction successful, host has gained Talent: Water Flow Control (Extraordinary)."

"Ding, please confirm if the host wishes to use this Talent. If used, the previously owned Talent: Water Flow Control (Advanced) will be directly upgraded."

Use!

"Ding, congratulations to the host, your Talent: Water Flow Control (Advanced) has been upgraded to Talent: Water Flow Control (Extraordinary)."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading Talent and gaining more powerful strength."

As Lin Tianwei's Sharp Teeth easily crushed the Water Monster's head, the system's kill notification popped up just in time.

Allowing Lin Tianwei to easily acquire a new Talent.

Extraordinary Water Flow Control combined with extraordinary Water Combat Ability would allow Lin Tianwei to move underwater as if a fish in water.

Greatly increasing his combat power.

By then, even the bottomless ocean would be accessible to Lin Tianwei.

As if by telepathy.

At the moment the Water Monster died, its body also seemed to lose power, gradually calming down.

As if losing power, its body fell limply downwards, sinking towards the bottom of Lake Siouxie Anne.

This body of water also gradually quieted down.

Lin Tianwei naturally wouldn't let go of this food that was about to reach his mouth.

With a thought, the lake water that had once attacked Lin Tianwei now seemed to be tamed, gently lifting Lin Tianwei's body.

Allowing him to quickly reach the vicinity of the Water Monster's lower body.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei directly tore into this prey that belonged to him.

Although the Water Monster possessed a terrifying size and a vast amount of flesh and blood,

for Lin Tianwei, who had the extraordinary Fast Digestion Talent, completely devouring it would only take a little time.

Soon, he would be able to completely consume this Water Monster. (End of Chapter)
