Chapter 533 - 234: Golden Light
A stalemate had formed.
It wasn’t just swallowing air now, but also the Heaven and Earth Primordial Power. The great fish was activating some sort of technique, something like a Leaf Skill... It was very likely one of the Divine Techniques, used in an attempt to suppress the Golden Light...
Qin Fang rapidly analyzed the situation based on what he was seeing.
But...
’...my analysis seems completely fucking useless?!’
Whether it was facing this great fish, or the object of Golden Light that could contend with it and even cause it immense pain...
He didn’t seem to have any way to deal with either of them!
’I can’t let it swallow me... otherwise, the Gang Wind inside will be enough to tear me apart!’
His speed was increasing wildly. Qin Fang could feel that the closer he got to the great fish’s mouth, the more violent the surrounding Gang Wind became.
He made a quick assessment. If he went directly through the great fish’s mouth... its mouth was certainly large enough. His body wouldn’t even fill the gaps between its teeth. He would most likely go straight into its body... Its body was enormous, like a giant mountain range to Qin Fang. If he really got inside, the danger would still be immense, of course, but there was a certain probability of escaping with his life... It was like a lion eating; it wouldn’t care about a fly buzzing in front of it.
But the key issue was that this Gang Wind was too terrifying!
The closer he got to the great fish’s mouth, the more violent the Gang Wind grew. If he entered through its mouth, even if the fish didn’t bite him to death, he would inevitably be torn to shreds by a Gang Wind hundreds of times more violent than usual!
’No!... It’s not just the Gang Wind... there’s also the scorching heat!’
𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
The closer he got, the more Qin Fang felt the surrounding air grow scorching, and it was only getting hotter!
This heat must be coming from that Golden Light!
...The temperature near its mouth could probably only be described as terrifying!
...Gang Wind... extreme heat...
So...
I absolutely cannot enter its mouth!
Then...
Qin Fang’s thoughts spun wildly. Finally, his gaze fell upon its massive, mountain-like body.
From a distance, its skin looked smooth. But looking closely from up close, he could see enormous ’gullies’... They were the natural wrinkles of its skin. But to Qin Fang, these wrinkles were ’gullies’!
’If I can get into one of those gullies, I can escape the terrifying suction... It would definitely be a leeward spot.’
’Then I can just wait... If it stops, or shows any intention of diving into the Great Abyss, I can jump off in time... There’d be a high chance of escape.’
But the crucial question now was, how could he get onto its body?
The surrounding air was as thick as liquid; he couldn’t break free at all.
’I can only follow the inertia... and take a gamble!’
Qin Fang gritted his teeth and hesitated no longer. The last bit of True Essence in his body began to surge wildly. Ignoring his injuries, he started searching for the trajectory of the gale, following its path to exert force and accelerate...
Fortunately, the great fish wasn’t just sucking from a fixed position... it was ’inhaling’ amidst its intense pain, so its head was naturally swinging back and forth.
This gave Qin Fang a sliver of an opportunity to use its momentum...
...The airflow, following the swing of its head, undulated like a great wave!
As long as Qin Fang could catch the ’crest of the wave’, there was a high probability he could get flung out!
And thus escape this terrifying, viscous vortex!
Closer and closer.
In the blink of an eye, he was only about four kilometers away.
The Abyss Water Armor had completely shattered. Qin Fang didn’t have any spare True Essence to reform it, so his body was already being cut by the Gang Wind, leaving one gash after another.
But Qin Fang paid it no mind. He used his True Essence only to protect his head, preventing vital areas like his eyes from being severely injured.
He also protected his internal organs with True Essence to ensure he wouldn’t suffer even heavier injuries.
As for the rest... he couldn’t spare the effort.
The air grew hotter and hotter. He felt his hair begin to curl... and one must know, his True Essence was of the Profound Nether Nature!
And yet, from three or four kilometers away, he could already feel the scorching heat, and even his breathing was becoming difficult?
’...My decision not to recklessly touch the Golden Light that day was undoubtedly the right one!’
And now, his whole body was rising and falling with the waves of air...
...He had already found the crest of the ’air wave’!
Just waiting for an opportunity...
Finally, as Qin Fang closed to about three kilometers, the great fish swung its head, causing another massive wave to form in the airflow...
’Now!’
Qin Fang’s pupils shrank abruptly. Without a second thought, his True Essence erupted, and he suddenly pushed off with his feet.
BOOM!!
In that instant, Qin Fang burst forward with unprecedented speed.
He had to use the crest of the air wave to accelerate, and then...
...break free from the air wave’s influence entirely!
The great fish was swinging its head, and Qin Fang’s timing was exquisite, catching the exact moment the air wave was flung outwards.
The next moment...
WHOOSH!
Qin Fang felt the pressure around him suddenly release. The violent Gang Wind was gone.
The viscous feeling in the air also vanished in an instant!
His body accelerated abruptly, shooting forward more than a thousand meters in a single moment!
...This was a speed he could never have achieved before.
He had accomplished it by riding the crest of the air wave!
But Qin Fang knew... he wasn’t safe yet.
The great fish was still swinging its head and sucking madly. He couldn’t afford to be careless; he didn’t dare get caught in that Gang Wind again... Otherwise, from this position, he could be torn to shreds instantly.
He accelerated wildly, circling around, carefully observing the arc of the great fish’s head swings. He practically skimmed the very edge of its suction, and finally...
...he successfully slammed headfirst into the great fish’s body!
The moment he touched the great fish’s body, Qin Fang felt an intense coldness wash over him, almost freezing him into ice shards.
He immediately circulated his Profound Nether True Essence.
The next moment, the coldness vanished without a trace, absorbed instead by his True Essence.
