Despite the constant oozing of bluish blood, such injuries didn't seem to disrupt this monster overly much.
It tilted its head, neither roaring nor showing any emotion, gradually pulling itself out. Its body continued to "grow", its scales slowly forming and hardening, its claws becoming longer and sharper, growing stronger every moment.
Unfortunately for it, the owner of the great halberd was hot on its tail. Jing Ziwang took dozens of feet in a single stride, kicking the monster back into the ground, and with a swing of his iron sword severed its tough and hardened neck.
This ghoulish figure's body stiffened. All growth ceased, and its skin slowly dulled.
Jing Ziwang withdrew his foot, standing in place, looking down at the corpse in silence.
Only now had Pei Ye arrived, lowering his head to look upon the slain monster for the first time.
But when his gaze landed on it, Pei Ye likewise stood silently in place, unable to utter a word.
