Chapter 461: Still Resistant
Lin Qingyao's heartbeat was almost synchronized with every step of the monster in the dark.
Her eyes had completely adapted to the dimness of the night, but the appearance of this monster made her feel an indescribable sense of oppression.
The monster was huge, as tall as two people, with bulging muscles all over his body. Under the dim light, the lines of his muscles looked like a carefully crafted work by a sculptor.
Every muscle showed unparalleled strength, like some extremely powerful prehistoric beast.
Its body is covered with a rough and tough outer skin, which is a deep gray-black color and has a faint metallic luster in the dim light, as if it is a natural armor.
Its head looks like a cheetah, but it is more ferocious and terrifying than a cheetah.
There is a deep groove in the middle of the broad forehead, as if it was carved by an ancient god with a huge axe, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura.
Those eyes were like two balls of burning dark red flames, flashing with fierceness and intelligence in the darkness.
It was as if it had known her every move. The coldness and wisdom revealed in its eyes were like an experienced hunter examining his prey. That kind of cold feeling was simply creepy.
Its nose is wide and flat, and its two nostrils are constantly opening and closing. Every breath is like a gust of wind whistling, and it can clearly smell the scent of prey in the surrounding air.
That bloody mouth was filled with jagged yet extremely sharp fangs.
Each fang was like a gleaming dagger, with traces of blood from previous prey still on it, emitting a pungent smell of blood.
Its limbs are as thick as pillars, and each claw is like a hook made of fine steel, half a foot long, slightly curved and extremely sharp.
There are complex patterns on the surface of the claws, like ancient runes. These patterns will faintly flash with strange light when it moves, as if containing some kind of mysterious power.
When its claws scrape across the ground, they make a teeth-grinding "crunching" sound, like metal rubbing against each other, and can instantly leave deep scratches on the hard stone floor.
Its tail is like a huge steel whip, covered with hard scales. These scales are closely connected, one next to another, like a solid shield.
The edges of the scales are as sharp as knives. When the tail is swung, it will bring up a whistling sound, as if it can cut through the surrounding air.
At the end of the tail, there is a huge bone spike. The spike is spiral-shaped and has mysterious patterns on it. It flashes a cold light in the dim light, like the scythe of the god of death, full of deadly threats.
Lin Qingyao took a deep breath and felt the cold breath of the Qingfu Sword passing through her hands. Her demonic energy flowed slightly, suppressing the anxiety and fear in her heart.
Although she practiced Taoism and the Qingfu Sword in her hand was not an ordinary magic weapon, she still felt a little uneasy when facing this monster.
The monster suddenly growled and moved incredibly fast, as if it was tearing the air apart, and pounced on her in an instant.
Lin Qingyao's body flashed, and she swung the Qingfu Sword. The sword light bloomed like snowflakes, and the wind brought by the sword energy whistled as it slashed towards the monster's belly.
But contrary to her expectations, the sword energy of the Qingfu Sword did not tear through the monster's flesh as easily as she had thought. Instead, it was blocked by its tough muscles.
The monster did not stop, but attacked even more fiercely.
Its huge claws swung towards Lin Qingyao like lightning, and the sharp claws brought up a violent gust of wind.
Lin Qingyao quickly dodged the monster's attack, but before she could stabilize her body, the monster's huge body pressed down on her. Its sharp claws brushed against her shoulder, leaving a bloody mark.
Lin Qingyao groaned, but did not stop. She gritted her teeth, quickly turned her body, and the Qingfu Sword drew an arc, pointing directly at the monster's head.
"Thunder magic—Thunder Talisman!"
Lin Qingyao let out a low cry in her heart, and the Qingfu Sword in her hand suddenly emitted a strong force of thunder and lightning. The tip of the sword shook, and in an instant the power of the thunder talisman attached to the sword body, and the sword energy suddenly increased.
She thrust her sword hard into the monster's head, and thunder and lightning erupted. Strong lightning struck the monster's body, trying to scare it.
However, although the power of this thunder talisman was extremely strong, it still did not cause fatal damage.
The monster's skin only felt slightly hot from the impact of the lightning, and it seemed that it was not affected much at all.
It roared angrily, swung its huge body violently, and swept its tail towards Lin Qingyao like a giant club.
Lin Qingyao dodged hurriedly, swung her sword, and knocked away the tail flying behind her, but her movements were too slow, and the tail swept her leg hard.
The severe pain almost made her fall, but she forced herself to hold back and not lose her balance.
"Damn monster!" Lin Qingyao gritted her teeth, her face pale. Her demonic energy had begun to dissipate. Although her demonic body was powerful, her Taoist magic seemed to have no real effect in front of this almost impossible to shake opponent.
The monster's muscles and skin were almost as hard as steel, and neither the thunder talisman nor the wind and fire talismans could cause fatal damage to it.
Her mind raced. The monster before her was not only incredibly powerful, but also extremely agile, and seemed to possess some kind of extraordinary combat intelligence.
Lin Qingyao knew that if she continued like this, she would only be exhausted.
She quickly assessed the situation and made a decision in her mind.
"I can't rely on Taoism anymore. I have to get closer to it. Close combat is my chance."
Lin Qingyao suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the monster, the Qingfu Sword dancing in the wind. Her speed was as fast as lightning, and the sword light condensed into a ray of light, pointing directly at the monster's throat.
The monster seemed to have sensed her intention, a sneer flashed in its eyes, and it suddenly raised a huge claw, ready to block her attack.
Just when the two were about to come into contact, Lin Qingyao suddenly turned around, swung the Qingfu Sword, and easily avoided the monster's claws!
The sword drew a perfect arc in the air and pierced directly into the monster's abdomen.
There was no technique involved in this attack; it was simple yet extremely deadly, and the tip of the sword almost pierced the monster's belly.
However, just as the tip of the sword was about to touch the monster's abdomen, a crack suddenly appeared on its skin, deep enough to reveal the bone.
But strangely, the crack did not cause blood to flow out, but was instead wrapped in a layer of strange black aura and healed instantly.
The monster didn't seem to have suffered any fatal injuries. Instead, it became even more angry. There was an angry red light flashing in its eyes. It exerted force suddenly and threw Lin Qingyao out.
Lin Qingyao's body was thrown to the side like a rag, hitting the wall, blood spurting out of her mouth.
Her head was buzzing and her vision went dark, but her eyes remained firm.
She used up her last bit of strength to support her body and struggled to stand up.
