Cai Yutong used a powerful attack to grab the attention of the semi-mechanized giant irradiated centipede.
The intense impact sensation temporarily focused the monster's attention on Cai Yutong as it swayed its body and charged towards her.
The female gunslinger maintained her posture, firing one ice crystal bullet after another from her silver revolver to slow down the opponent; on the other hand, she was controlling her own movement path and speed, moving in an arc to avoid the creature from running too fast or too far.
To accomplish this, Cai Yutong took a huge risk. If she were to escape directly, she had a 100% chance of making the enormous monster in front of her not even touch the corner of her clothes. However, she was using a teasing approach, continuing to maintain the attack to attract attention, but she also couldn't run too fast.
If there was the slightest mistake, she might be directly hit by the steel-modified appendages of the large centipede, which could potentially cause her to die on the spot.
All of this was to create an opportunity for Li Wei.
Li Wei did not let her efforts go to waste.
Three seconds later, the Ghost Slash charged fully.
At this moment, he is about seven or eight meters away from the half-mechanical centipede. This is the closest distance that Cai Yutong could manage. Any closer and that centipede might accidentally hit Li Wei as well.
With this distance, it was already enough.
His legs were half bent, and then he forcefully ejected, his whole body darting out far in an instant while he gripped his short knife and swung it with full force!
The short knife ultimately did not make direct contact with the enemy's body, but the power of the gale had already erupted!
Meanwhile, the surging demon power also flew out together with the cyclone!
The grand whirlwind of purple and blue swept onto the giant centipede in a blink of an eye. The knockback effect of the hurricane slash was not enough to hold this monstrous creature of great size, but the wind blades as sharp as tens of millions of knives were still tearing apart its body. And the demon power that dyed the entire whirlwind was also pervasive with the power of the cyclone, bursting with tremendous power, constantly eroding this monster's body.
The power of Ghost Slash is twice that of Steel Flash, and after fully charging for three seconds, the damage is increased by three times or more. With the storm conjured by Swift Fury Slash, Ghost Slash transforms from a close-range high-damage skill to a mid-to-long-range attack, and its power is further enhanced!
This is the strongest strike that Li Wei possesses at present!
The storm of demonic energy lasted for several seconds. When the storm subsided, the previously vigorous monster that was relentlessly pursuing Cai Yutong was lying helplessly on the ground. Its semi-mechanical, semi-fleshy body bore the marks of demonic energy, with the violet-blue power of the Ghost God still lingering on the wounds.
By accumulating sword intent and combining Swift Fury Slash with a fully charged Ghost Slash, and unleashing both simultaneously, the power of this move is nothing short of terrifying!
"This move... the power of this move..."
Not far away, Cai Yutong, who witnessed this scene, had her mouth gaping into an "O" shape.
Her expression was very uncharacteristic of her status as a rising star, but she just couldn't suppress the surprise within her heart.
At first, she thought that Li Wei had her distract the monster's attention in order to activate the hellfire energy crystal given to him by Bandari. She indeed couldn't think of any other way for Li Wei to turn the tide, as this monster was far too tough to defeat. Attacks at the limit level barely inflicted any damage on it.
But who could have expected that Li Wei would strike such a terrifying blow with his own strength?
Even the strong who have unlocked their genes may find it hard to exhibit such a powerful skill without a high enough level of development, right? Take Banderry or Qian Long for example, even if such senior demon hunters give their all, it's likely to be just at this level.
Does this imply that Li Wei has already acquired abilities comparable to those with the gene lock? But he just completed the Limit Forging not long ago!
Cai Yutong fell into profound shock, feeling like she seemed to be a fake star of tomorrow.
"Can you... help me up?"
Li Wei's voice snapped Cai Yutong back to reality. She looked over at him and saw Li Wei, who had just unleashed that unparalleled attack, now kneeling on the ground with a very pale complexion.
She quickly rushed over and helped Li Wei get up.
"Phew..." Exhaling deeply, Li Wei said with a wry smile, "It's indeed too much to ask. That move just now was too straining, and now even moving is a bit difficult for me."
"Your move just now?"
"What? It's the power released by this arm." Li Wei raised his left arm.
Cai Yutong bit her lips lightly and said, "It's truly amazing."
Li Wei waved his hand and didn't speak. He was really out of strength now, and could only lean against the wall on the side, panting for breath.
"Take some time to have a good rest, and I'll guard you on the side."
"Thank you." Li Wei didn't refuse. His condition now was indeed very bad. If any danger appeared before his eyes again, he wouldn't have the ability to resolve it and had to rely on the protection of his companions. Otherwise, any enemy could easily take his life.
They sat in silence for a while. Li Wei was taking the time to catch his breath and recover his physical strength. He didn't expect to return to his peak condition, but at least needed to have some ability to deal with danger.
As for Cai Yutong, most of her thoughts were still immersed in Li Wei's earth-shattering attack just now.
Her heart was somewhat confused.
Since childhood, she has been the favored child of the Clover Branch. At present, young and in her twenties, she has already stood at the peak of the extremes. Among those of equal strength, there are virtually no one who is her match.
The existence of Li Wei truly subverts all her previous notions.
She even started to question herself, wondering whether "genius" is indeed appropriate when applied to her.
Shaking her head, she cast out these thoughts.
She looked at Li Wei sitting on the ground with closed eyes, and a surge of motivation suddenly rose inside her.
"You must not be discouraged, should not be discouraged. Now that there is already such a gap with him, if you don't have the courage to catch up, you will be left behind increasingly. Not only will you fail to catch up with him, but you won't even qualify to become his comrade-in-arms, to be his companion!"
Cai Yutong, on the contrary, strengthened her determination!
"Li Wei, use this one." She pulled out a purple energy crystal from her own pocket.
"Purple crystal?"
"It's a specially made recovery crystal."
