Right Thumb Needs Recovery

The sky brightened up.

A thin layer of fog shrouded the mountain.

At the cliff of the mountain, a black-scaled hydra was laid on the ground, and its aura filled the entire place.

Even though the hydra was dead, its body still exuded a terrifying aura, causing some disciples who were less skilled to turn pale and tremble.

Its body was 100 meters long and as thick as a bucket. Its head was a big as a millstone. It looked like both a python and a crocodile, it was terrifying and its eyes were as big as lanterns.

Its teeth were at least three-foot-long, white, and extremely hard.

"We can make a weapon with its teeth!" Liu Liuhai exclaimed in excitement when he touched its teeth.

When he hit the teeth with his sword, his sword chipped, but no marks were left on the teeth at all.

As the chief commander of the Scythe Army, he did not have any weapons like that!

"Not only its teeth, we can also manufacture a large batch of armor from this creature's scales. If everyone from the Liu family and the Scythe Army has one of this, nobody in the City of Scorpio will dare to go against us anymore!"

"By then, Chief Commander's name will be renowned in Scorpio Island!"

Black-Handed Zhang sucked up to Liu Liuhai as he followed along.

Liu Liuhai smiled, and seeing that he had done enough, Black-Handed Zhang hinted to Liu Liuhai to give him the hydra's feeler.

"To be honest with you, I have learned a type of whipping technique. However, this technique requires extremely good weapons or it would greatly limit my capability.

"If I can turn this hydra's feeler into a powerful whip, my skills will improve tremendously and I will be able to serve you better, Chief Commander!"

Liu Liuhai nodded when he heard that. "I have noted that. I will discuss it with our Clan Head!"

Black-Handed Zhang was extremely happy.

He thought of how Iron-Footed Li had made up an excuse and stayed behind as he was afraid of the dangerous mission. He wanted to use the whip to provoke Iron-Footed Li and make him jealous.

"However, the Ancestor of the Liu clan is too terrifying. He's been dead for 1000 years, yet he was still able to make that terrifying killer move!"

Black-Handed Zhang trembled when he recalled the blinding beam of light from last night.

He looked up at the hydra's head and saw the bloody hole in it. Blood dripped down, and one of the disciples of the Living Dead Clan was collecting the liquid with a basin.

"This creature is priceless. Its blood is a good supplement too. We can't let it go to waste!"

The Grand Elder of the Living Dead Clan discussed with Liu Tao. They were smiling and very polite to each other.

She was especially tempted when she saw the hydra. If she was able to get the hydra's flesh and blood, scales or bones, her clan's ability would increase tremendously.

However, the hydra was killed by the Liu clan. The Living Dead Clan only managed to injure the hydra. As a result, she could only discuss the terms and conditions with Liu Tao.

"There is a huge pond in our ancestral temple. We can put the hydra's blood inside and share. Are you agreeable?"

Liu Tao kept silent. He touched the hydra's blood and licked it. His eyes lit up.

Although the hydra's blood had a fishy smell, after entering his mouth, it turned into a strange energy that melted into his body. He could sense that it was beneficial for his body.

"This blood is extremely important to our family's physical cultivators!!!"

Liu Tao reached that conclusion immediately.

The blood and flesh of the hydra, the Liu clan must have all of them!

They would not split it with the Living Dead Clan!

He sighed as he turned his head and said to the excited gaze of He Lanxin, the Grand Elder of the Living Dead Clan, "Our ancestor is still in the hydra's stomach, I am in no mood to discuss this right now!"

"Let's discuss this later after our ancestor is out!"

Liu Tao did not agree to He Lanxin's suggestion but did not reject it either. He was afraid that the Living Dead Clan would become anxious.

After that, he began to cut the hydra with his weapons.

…

Meanwhile, in the hydra's body, Liu Fan floated on its blood and heard the conversation between Liu Tao and He Lanxin. He was impressed by Liu Tao's response.

The Clan Head who was concerned about benefiting his family was a good Clan Head!

Liu Tao did it correctly!

The hydra was not a simple thing to deal with!

"I wonder what this hydra ate? Her blood has some traces of treasure!"

"This is an opportunity for the Liu family. After the physical cultivators of our clan have drunk its blood, everyone would be able to secure a solid foundation!"

Liu Fan thought that if the entire Liu clan was able to drink the blood of the hydra, their skills would improve tremendously.

Liu Fan could sense how Liu Tao and the rest were trying their best to cut the hydra up. Everyone was sweating profusely.

"It should be some time before my descendants can cut the hydra open. If that's the case, let me drink a few sips of blood to replenish my weak body!"

Liu Fan smiled. Then, he turned the blood in the hydra's stomach into a whirlpool and absorbed it.

His veins were softening; dried up blood was recovering gradually. The protective aura outside his body also began to activate. With the help of his Four Suns Body Tempering Method, the speed of digesting the hydra's blood increased dramatically.

Suddenly.

His right thumb began to burn, itch, and turn numb.

Meanwhile, the bright eyespot, wind spot, and empty bones began to form three energy swirls, sucking in the energy of the hydra.

"The right thumb is recovering!!!"

Liu Fan was excited.

He diverted all his energy to the right thumb!

"If my right thumb recovers, I will gain a new killer move!"

"This killer move is the Six Meridian Divine Swords1!"

The Six Meridian Divine Swords was created on a stormy night after he'd stayed in seclusion for nine years.

It was created based on the human's veins and energy and was suitable for a physical cultivator to conduct a long-distance attack!

The Six Meridian Divine Swords was controlled by six fingers. The right thumb controlled the Shaoshang Sword, which was able to break through heaven and cause a heavy storm.

Its energy was similar to the Yi Yang Finger!

Liu Fan closed his eyes and began to concentrate on the recovery of his thumb…

Outside the hydra's body, Liu Tao indirectly rejected He Lanxin's suggestion.

He Lanxin was cursing internally.

She turned around and ordered the disciples of the Living Dead Clan to cut the hydra too. Meanwhile, she told Ye Qing and eight other martial arts masters through their own secret transmission that if they dug out any scales, keep them for themselves.

"These scales are extremely hard. If we make them into a secret weapon, we can improve our own skills!"

Ye Qing and the rest nodded and began to dig with all their might.

However, everyone underestimated the hydra's protection.

The black scales were as packed as fish scales. Clanging sounds were heard when the knives and swords hit them. Sparks were produced. It was as though they were hitting a metal surface.

Liu Tao used his energy as a grand martial arts master. His sword shone, and after more than ten consecutive attacks, he finally managed to cut off one scale.

The other people around him could not achieve anything despite using all their energy.

He was shocked by the hydra's defensive skills.

He leaped up.

He jumped onto the head of the hydra.

The bloody hole on the hydra's head was as thick as his right arm. He could see the white brain mash.

Liu Tao touched the scales on the hydra's head. Even though he was a grand martial arts master, the scale did not change its shape at all.

"The scales here are at least ten times as strong as the other scales on the hydra's body!"

Liu Tao was shocked. He looked at the edges of the bloody hole. The terrifying aura remained. This caused him to tremble in fear, but he found that it was somewhat familiar.

The scale was penetrated, and a burnt smell was left behind. There seemed to be something burning too.

"This was a real Yi Yang Finger attack!"

Liu Tao was stunned.

He touched the edge of the hole and felt the power of the terrifying Yi Yang Finger.

"However, our ancestor has been dead for 1000 years already. How did he make this attack?!"

Liu Tao was confused and looked serious.

He felt that the answer to his question was extremely important. It might have to do with the future and fate of the Liu clan!

…

A distance away at the tail area of the hydra, Liu Dahai and Liu Sanhai panicked when they saw Liu Tao squatting near the head of the hydra.

"Did our Clan Head find out?!"

"As long as we say that our ancestor pretended to be dead, we will be fine!"

"Hmm, you are right. Liu Liuhai is a foolish guy who keeps claiming that our ancestor is real. He should agree with us…"

…

Both of them exchanged gazes again and confirmed their thoughts. They smiled and thought that everything was settled!

However, when each turned around, they could not help but feel angry about how the other party refused to admit that they had triggered the Yi Yang Finger using their ancestor.

How shameless!
