The Labyrinth of the Monsters

The Tang Blade that struck Grandpa Zhang's "brain" was controlled by an invisible force, continuing to press down. However, the power of Level 2 [Metal] was limited.

Qing Ling exerted all her strength, but the Tang Blade could only be pressed down inch by inch.

Two tentacles quickly entangled the Tang Blade, forcefully pulling it out and throwing it aside. Grandpa Zhang's brain sprayed blood, extremely gruesome. Despite this, the large crack on his brain began to heal, but the healing speed was noticeably slower compared to the tentacles.

It was severely injured, but... it was still alive!

The broken tentacles crawled on the ground and then returned to the main body. Then, new tentacles emerged from the body again.

Qing Ling fell heavily, her face pale and covered in bloodstains. She staggered to her feet and wanted to pick up the knife on the side. However, four tentacles shot out rapidly, entangling her hands and feet.

Qing Ling struggled hard but to no avail. The tentacles dragged her towards the main body...

"Die!"

With a shout, Gao Yang, holding a golf club, rushed towards Grandpa Zhang.

He knew that as a useless person, the only thing he could do now was to run away as far as possible. This was the self-cultivation of a useless person. However, he didn't know why, but when he saw Qing Ling being caught, his legs didn't listen to him, and his mind stopped thinking. When he came back to his senses, he had already rushed up like an idiot.

Gao Yang didn't have time to get close to Grandpa Zhang. A tentacle slid along the ground and wrapped around his calf.

The tentacle pulled forcefully, and Gao Yang fell to the ground, being dragged towards Grandpa Zhang's main body. Soon, he would become a meal in Grandpa Zhang's stomach, just like Qing Ling.

"Hold on!" Officer Huang also rushed over. He grabbed Gao Yang with one hand and hugged a nearby street lamp with the other. Thanks to his Gun God talent, Officer Huang had astonishing arm strength. He firmly held Gao Yang's wrist, temporarily resisting the strength of Grandpa Zhang's tentacles.

However, Gao Yang couldn't feel relieved.

Firstly, his body felt like a tug-of-war rope, as if it could be torn apart at any moment. On the other hand, more and more tentacles began to repair themselves and join the battle. If they continued like this, they had no chance of winning.

And most importantly, Qing Ling was being irreversibly dragged towards Grandpa Zhang.

Stay calm, stay calm.

The more critical the situation, the more one needed to stay calm.

Gao Yang took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

[BEEP-]

Gao Yang opened his eyes, and Qing Ling, one meter away, was being dragged towards Grandpa Zhang, her body pressed against the ground. She clenched the ground with all her strength, trying to resist the pulling of the tentacles, but it was in vain.

Gao Yang observed the situation and quickly made a judgment. "Officer Huang! Let go of me!"

"Are you crazy?"

"Let go! I have a plan! Trust me!"

Time was running out, and Officer Huang didn't care anymore. He let go of Gao Yang.

The tentacles instantly exerted force, and Gao Yang was rapidly dragged towards Grandpa Zhang, even faster than Qing Ling. When he passed by Qing Ling, Gao Yang stretched out his right hand with all his strength. He originally wanted to touch Qing Ling's head, but their bodies were parallel, just two centimeters apart.

Gao Yang tried his best to straighten his arm, spread his fingers, but he could only watch as his hand slid past Qing Ling's forehead, nose, mouth, and chin, unable to touch her.

Is it over?

Gao Yang's heart sank.

No! His eyes brightened, and he quickly found hope!

Half a second later, the tip of Gao Yang's middle finger lightly hooked onto Qing Ling's raised chest.

Qing Ling, who was still struggling desperately, also noticed Gao Yang's strange action. She wasn't angry, only a faint confusion in her eyes: What does he want to do? Struggle to the death? Or say goodbye before dying?

[Discovered the only talent that can be copied: Level 3 Sword God. Copy it?]

- Copy!

In an instant, Gao Yang felt a surge of energy entering his body through the tip of his middle finger. That energy was extremely mysterious, as if it had life, and it carried the vivid imprint and aura of its owner.

Gao Yang shouted, "Pass me the knife!"

Qing Ling didn't understand what Gao Yang wanted to do, but she instinctively made the most correct response. Instead of clinging to the ground, she focused her mind on controlling her weapon.

The Tang Blade not far away floated up and flew towards Gao Yang.

Gao Yang quickly caught the long knife and held the handle. In that instant, a familiar feeling surged throughout his body. It was as if he had used this weapon ten thousand times before.

Memories, movements, experience, intuition... Countless pieces of information merged into an indescribable energy. It was like a sacred life form or a mysterious hero, gently covering or enveloping his whole body, guiding and dominating him, giving him strength.

With a skillful rotation of his right wrist, Gao Yang easily cut off the tentacle entangling his calf.

At this moment, he was less than two meters away from Grandpa Zhang's main body. This was the most dangerous position, but also the most advantageous position. His eyes had already found the best breakthrough point and the most suitable angle to swing the knife.

He leaned to the side, half crouched, and pressed the knife.

Legs, waist, right arm, three points in a straight line—draw!

"Zing—" The Tang Blade sliced upwards, cutting through the disgusting lump of flesh.

But it wasn't over. The blade he swung swiftly returned, striking again. Two-thirds of the severed lump still hung in mid-air, now split into two halves.

Everything happened in an instant.

Blood spurted out immediately, and a wail followed half a second after the blade was swung. But it was very brief, dissipating in the blood rain before it could fully form.

Three seconds. It was over.

The Sword God Talent disappeared.

At the same time, the tentacle that was strangling Qing Ling loosened.

Qing Ling was slightly taken aback. She quickly leaped up, sprinted, snatched the Tang Blade from Gao Yang's hand, and hacked at the corpse over a dozen times. She didn't stop until she had truly "dismembered" it, ensuring it could not regenerate.

Under the moonlight, Qing Ling's jet-black hair was dyed with bright red blood, dripping wet on her cold face and pristine school uniform.

The girl slightly tilted her head back, her chest heaving violently. Below her were scattered limbs and organs. At this moment, she was like a slaughtering angel who had fallen into hell.

A few seconds later, she slowly turned her head, her gaze towards Gao Yang was icy and sharp.

"Whoosh—" In the blink of an eye, the bloodless Tang Blade was at Gao Yang's throat.

Qing Ling's voice was filled with anger, "You better explain what just happened."

"I'm sorry!" Gao Yang raised his hands, hastily apologizing, "I shouldn't have touched you…"

"Who cares about that?" Qing Ling flipped the blade in her hand, "Speak! Why do you have the Sword God Talent? Why have you been hiding your true strength?"
